Ningwan extended her delicate hand and slowly removed the veil. The Ye Family held their breath, waiting to see her make a fool of herself. The younger generation might not remember, but the elders certainly recalled her tragic state after the car accident. Half of her face was bloody and terrifying. Even the doctors said it was disfigured, and wouldn’t recover even with plastic surgery. Ye Xuan’s appearance was the most outstanding among the girls of the Ye Family. Could she compare her disfigured face with Ye Xuan’s beauty? It was simply self-humiliation. However, when Ningwan removed the veil, everyone was dumbfounded. Her skin was as smooth as snow, her features delicate and exquisite, like a lotus emerging from the water, stunning beyond words yet too shy to look at directly. Fearing their gaze might be too intense, it could burn her milky, creamy skin. Her rosy lips were as tender and dripping as rose petals. Sitting there quietly, like a proud plum blossom standing in a tranquil valley, it bloomed serenely and elegantly, indifferent to the attention around her. She seemed alone in an empty field, every glance filled with a free and romantic aura, yet noble and aloof. "You... how could this be." Ye Xuan felt faint, almost passing out. She knew she had lost. No matter how many people were on her side, compared to such a face, she had lost completely. The other members of the Ye Family showed various expressions, surprised, amazed, some even horrified! Her face resembled her mother’s too closely! Several of the Ye Family elders looked at her as if they were seeing Tang Xiaowan. Li Meifeng was the first to lose her composure; she felt suffocated and was about to get up to leave when Mr. Ye rose before her. "I’m not feeling well; I’ll go rest first." After saying this, he stood up shakily and left. "How is this possible? How did your face recover?" the eldest aunt exclaimed loudly. She had witnessed her disfigured face back then, but now her skin was as creamy as jade, impossible to fake with makeup. Ningwan replied calmly, "I met a Divine Doctor in the countryside who healed me with herbs." "Then why didn’t you say so earlier?" Lin Yuyang asked eagerly. If he had seen such a beautiful face earlier, why would he have married Ye Xuan? Ye Xuan was furious upon hearing this and glared at him. Sadly, Lin Yuyang didn’t care about her gaze, as his eyes were glued to Ningwan’s face, unable to move away. Ningwan sneered, "If I had said so earlier, how would I see your true nature?" "So you were testing me, you..." Lin Yuyang’s eyes reddened with regret. "So what if she’s beautiful? Mr. Zhan, you don’t know, do you? She was involved with a driver on the way back to the city, losing her purity, and she’s nothing but a slut for everyone." Unable to outshine Ningwan, Ye Xuan resorted to insulting her out of anger. "Ye Henghui, is this how you teach your daughter?" Zhan Hanjue slapped the table hard, challenging Ye Henghui. Ye Henghui shuddered and immediately stood, slapping his daughter’s face. "Dad?" Ye Xuan held her face in disbelief. She had never been hit since childhood. "Ye Henghui, what are you doing?" Li Meifeng hugged her daughter closely, scolding Ye Henghui. The eldest aunt also voiced her complaint, "Big brother, how can you hit Xuan’er? What Xuan’er said isn’t wrong; it’s a known fact." "Ningwan is my wife. Who is clearer about her purity than me? If I hear such rumors again, I will ensure they disappear from Jiangcheng forever." Zhan Hanjue stood up, pulled Ningwan beside him, and coldly warned the crowd. His expression was stern, naturally intimidating, especially when angry. The Ye Family shuddered with fear, forgetting that this man was Zhan Hanjue. His words were not threats; he could indeed make them happen. "Let’s go home." Zhan Hanjue wrapped his arm around Ningwan’s shoulder. Ningwan said, "Okay." However, after agreeing, she smilingly reminded Ye Xuan, "Second sister, don’t forget to return the Jade Pendant to me. If it’s inconvenient for you to deliver it, I’ll send someone to fetch it." "Hmph." Ye Xuan covered her face and snorted coldly. Zhan Hanjue escorted Ningwan out. Once they left, the Ye Family exploded, discussing Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue’s appearances. Ye Xuan cried and caused a scene, reprimanding her father, "I’m your daughter; how could you hit me for that wretched girl?" Li Meifeng was relentless, "Ye Henghui, are you still thinking about that vixen, hitting our daughter because she looks like her? I’m not done with you." "Shut up! Didn’t you hear Zhan Hanjue say the contract is up? If we want to renew it, only Ningwan can agree. Don’t you realize, if we can’t continue cooperating with the Zhan Family, what will happen to the Ye Group?" Ye Henghui roared in frustration. The Ye Family was in an uproar, with only one person quietly sitting in place, eyes fixed in the direction Ningwan left. As if their soul was utterly captivated. ******* "Thank you!" Once in the car, Ningwan thanked Zhan Hanjue. If not for Zhan Hanjue’s help today, she wouldn’t have easily regained the intricately carved peony jade pendant. Zhan Hanjue, although forced by Old Mrs. Zhan to come, was not obliged to help her. Instead of exposing her, he chose to assist, and Ningwan was not an ungrateful person. "Is this how the Ye Family has always treated you?" Zhan Hanjue asked with a serious expression. Ningwan paused for a moment before replying, "Of course not. After the car accident at six, the Ye Family sent me back to the countryside. Like you, I’m not familiar with them." "Since you’re not close, don’t come back again." Zhan Hanjue said. Ningwan nodded. If he didn’t say so, she wouldn’t have gone back either; it’s not like she had nothing better to do. At that moment, the driver suddenly braked hard, causing the car to jolt violently. Ningwan, sitting opposite Zhan Hanjue, was thrown to his side involuntarily, ending up in his arms due to the abrupt stop. Zhan Hanjue, seated stably, didn’t expect a soft object to suddenly crash into him, making an instinctive move to hold on. He was enveloped in fragrance and softness, beneath his hands was smooth, tender skin. Ningwan felt awkward and immediately struggled up from his embrace, pushing away the hand on her thigh. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to." She definitely didn’t intend to fall into his arms. "Old Chen, what’s going on?" Zhan Hanjue demanded loudly. The driver, Old Chen, immediately apologized, "Sorry, sir, a car suddenly rushed in front almost crashing into us." Zhan Hanjue frowned. Ningwan quickly craned her neck to look ahead, recalling that the car had indeed almost hit them. But it didn’t seem accidental; it seemed deliberate. "Did you offend someone?" Ningwan asked. Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, "Perhaps it’s you who offended someone." Ningwan felt embarrassed. Was it someone from the Ye Family? Too quick to act, they couldn’t wait to end her life just minutes after leaving!
