'Are you sure?'
Cao Xuehua's heart was wavering.
She knew that things would not end well for her and Ning Wentao now that things had gotten to this point.
Just like what he had said, even if she insisted on not divorcing him, she would only be left with the title of Mrs. Ning.
But she was not satisfied.
Even if she could take away 50% of his assets, she was still not satisfied!
What she loved to see the most was that Han Meilin, the high and mighty young miss of the past, had something that she could not even dream of, but was now in her hands.
She looked at Han Meilin and thought of Su Tiantian at the police station. In the end, her selfish love won out. She said word by word, "I'm sure."
…
There was a strange silence in the room.
Ning Meng wanted to say something, but Han Meilin grabbed her arm.
Han Meilin did not look at Ning Wentao. She picked up her bag gracefully and walked out of the room.
Ning Wentao kept his head down throughout the whole process, not daring to look at her.
Ning Meng did not know why, but Han Meilin's back was straight. Her expressionless face made Ning Meng's eyes sting.
Aunt Meilin's joy just now was equivalent to the pain in her heart.
Ning Wentao couldn't help but follow her. They went downstairs together.
The reporters could not enter the hotel, so they waited at the lobby.
When they saw Han Meilin, the reporters swarmed them and took pictures of them. One of them even asked, "Ms. Han, did Mr. Ning cheat on his wife?"
Han Meilin did not say anything. She put on her sunglasses to hide her emotions. She had heard clearly that Cao Xuehua's request was to never see her again.
This would be the last impression she would leave on Ning Wentao.
So, she wanted to be elegant and continue to be high and mighty.
She hated those pitiful white lotuses. She could not pretend to be abandoned.
She adjusted her sunglasses and did not say anything. She walked around the reporters and continued to walk out.
Her driver was already waiting outside. Once she walked out of the lobby, she would be able to escape from this place.
At this moment!
"Han Meilin!"
She stopped in her tracks when she heard a scream.
Han Meilin turned around and before she could react … Slap!
The sound of a slap could be heard in the lobby.
After giving Han Meilin a hard slap, Cao Xuehua said, "If you dare to seduce my husband again, I will not forgive you!"
Han Meilin covered her face.
She saw Ning Wentao rushing over and grabbing Cao Xuehua. She saw Ning Wentao clenching his fists, wanting to hit back. But as a gentleman, he had probably never hit a woman in his life.
Therefore, when his fist landed 0.1 centimeters in front of Cao Xuehua, he could only give himself a hard slap.
Han Meilin lowered her eyes and did not look at him again.
Ning Meng rushed over to stop the reporters and let Han Meilin get into the car. Finally, they left.
Ning Wentao called the security guards to chase the reporters away and forced Cao Xuehua home.
Soon, only Ning Meng and Ning Ke were left in the lobby.
It was so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened.
Ning Meng had never thought that things would turn out this way.
Just as she was in a daze, Ning Ke said, "Sister, I'm sorry … I didn't know it would turn out like this …"
Ning Meng patted her shoulder and shook her head.
If it had not been for today's incident, Ning Wentao and Han Meilin would have been like a frog being boiled in warm water.
Ning Ke had not done anything good, and it seemed like she had messed it up again. She lowered her head and apologized. "I'm sorry, sister, I'm sorry …"
Before she could finish, Ning Meng shook her head. "Maybe this is not a bad thing."
Ning Ke was stunned.
Ning Meng did not say anything else and walked out.
Ning Ke looked at her back view and suddenly chased after her. "Sis, I don't understand. Cao Xuehua clearly didn't dare to commit suicide. She's such a selfish person and cherishes her life. Why did Uncle Ning still get threatened by her? Is a promise from years ago really that important? "
Ning Meng stopped walking when she heard this.
She looked in front and pointed at the people who were in a hurry. She said slowly, "In the world of adults, there are always some things that are more important than happiness and enjoyment. For example, a promise. For example, faith. "
Ning Ke's eyes were filled with confusion.
What was faith? What was a promise?
She did not understand.
When she returned home, she asked Su Ye.
Su Ye only used one sentence to explain everything. He said, "That promise is like your sister's existence to you."
Ning Ke instantly understood.
Cao Xuehua was stripped of all her positions in the company by Ning Wentao. She was left in the villa to preserve the title of Mrs. Ning. She did not have to worry about food or clothes, but she was like a widow.
Ning Wentao stayed in Ning Zhi's house, leaving the company to Ning Meng to manage. He drank every day until he was drunk.
In the days that followed, Ning Meng saw Han Meilin twice. She seemed to be fine, and she was still as radiant as ever. She could use makeup to cover her face, but the red veins in her eyes could not be hidden.
There was a business dinner tonight, and Ning Wentao gave Ning Meng a call. "You should go."
Ning Meng sighed. "Dad, this is not right. Why don't you go out for a walk? You'll feel better."
Ning Wentao was silent for a while. "Your Aunt Meilin should go as well."
Ning Meng was stunned.
Ning Wentao then said, "Take a few videos of your Aunt Meilin for me to see."
He was afraid that he would offend her, so he explained, "I just want to know if she is doing well. I think she will wear black lipstick tonight. After all, she is in a bad mood. Oh right, Meng Meng, if you two talk to each other, tell her to find a good man and marry him. "
His voice was hoarse, and it made Ning Meng's heart ache.
Ning Meng's eyes turned red. "Okay."
She saw Han Meilin at the business dinner.
She was wearing high heels and a red dress. Her lips were not black, but red. She was smiling, and it seemed that she was not affected by the incident.
Ning Meng hid in an inconspicuous corner and sent a few videos to Ning Wentao. Then, she put her phone aside.
After a while, Han Meilin appeared in front of her.
Ning Meng quickly stood up. "Aunt Meilin."
Han Meilin patted her shoulder and asked, "How is your dad?"
Ning Meng did not want to pretend to be calm. She wanted both of them to work harder, so she said, "Dad is actually very concerned about you. He asked me to take a few photos and videos of you."
"I know."
Han Meilin smiled. "Recently, someone has been following me. I've checked it out. It's him."
Ning Meng paused for a while and suddenly realized, "Is that why you appear in public so often?"
It was to let Ning Wentao know that she was doing well.
Suddenly, Ning Meng's eyes became wet. At this moment, her heart was in a mess.
It turned out that her dad and Han Meilin were using their own ways to care for each other and protect each other …
Ning Meng could not help but ask, "Aunt Meilin, I don't understand. Is a promise really that important?"
Han Meilin patted her shoulder again and smiled. "Do you know what attracted me the most about your dad?"
Ning Meng did not answer. She seemed to know the truth.
Han Meilin slowly said, "He is a man of his word."
"There are still updates. I'm still writing them. I will definitely write them. It's a bit late. Sleep early. Don't wait for me. I'll read them tomorrow morning. "
