After Ning Ran washed her plate and was about to rest, the phone rang again.
It was yet another unknown number. Thinking that it was from Ruan Anxi, Ning Ran did not pick it up.
However, the person wouldn't stop calling. Annoyed by the other party's persistence, she answered the call but kept
her silence.
To her surprise, a woman's voice traveled from the other end of the line instead. “I'm Ding Fei. I want to meet you.”
Ning Ran froze. “Who?”
“I'm Ding Fei. I have a secret to tell you, so come to Lily Club now,” Ding Fei said.
“All right. I'll be right there.”
Ning Ran happened to have things to ask Ding Fei about as well, so she readily agreed to meet up with the latter.
After ending the call, she then went to the study room and told Nan Chen about it.
“You're going to meet her now? Is she up to some kind of nefarious plan again? I'll get Qiao Zhan to go with you.”
“Okay,” Ning Ran agreed.
After all, Ding Fei was Luo Fei—Ning Ran's step-sister who despised her.
Furthermore, Ding Fei, who had undergone plastic surgery and changed her looks, seemed to have become even
more ruthless and cruel than before. They had to be extra careful around her.
Half an hour later, Qiao Zhan arrived and went to Lily Club with Ning Ran.
Ding Fei was already there, and it seemed like she had already drunk many glasses of wine.
She seemed to be in a terrible and wretched state, but the look in her eyes when she glared at Ning Ran was still as
vicious as always.
“Do you know who I am?” Ding Fei taunted as she stared at Ning Ran.
As Ning Ran took a seat, she said, “Speak your mind and don't talk in riddles. I know who you are.”
“Do you really know who I am?”
“You've changed your looks, but the hatred you have for me never changed. In fact, it has worsened. The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresentment in your eyes is vivid whenever you look at me. No one in this world hates me as much as you do. Luo
Fei, I can't believe you still can't let go of the hatred you have for me. You were the one who hurt me first—who hurt
my children first—so why are you still targeting me?” Ning Ran questioned, her tone glacial.
“I hate you! I wish you were dead! If it weren't for you, Nan Chen would have been mine. I would have been the
best actress too! You ruined everything for me!” Ding Fei screamed at Ning Ran.
“Hey! Show some manners, or I won't show you any mercy,” Qiao Zhan snapped as he jabbed a finger at Ding Fei.
Even back when Ding Fei was still Luo Fei, Qiao Zhan never really liked this titular girlfriend of his employer.
That was because Luo Fei was two-faced. She would pander to the rich and the powerful and be cruel to those who
had a lower status than her.
She was meek and subservient around Nan Chen, but when she was with people who were lower than her in terms
of social status, she would behave haughtily and condescendingly. It was infuriating.
Now, Ding Fei had changed her looks and become one of Ruan Anxi's pawns. As there was bad blood between Qiao
Zhan and Ruan Anxi, it was only natural that Qiao Zhan abhorred Ding Fei even more.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this? You're just the Nan family's mutt—”
“Shut up!” Ning Ran bellowed, cutting Ding Fei off before the latter could insult Qiao Zhan.
“If you're here to curse at others or to fight, then I'm not going to stay here anymore. If there's something you
want to say, spit it out now. We don't have the time to listen to your foul words!”
Ning Ran's aggressive demeanor put out some of the raging fire in Ding Fei.
Ding Fei had actually come to Ning Ran to ask for a favor.
However, the sight of Ning Ran kindled the resentment she had for her, and Ding Fei could not stop herself from
insulting Ning Ran.
“All right. Since you know who I am, you must also know why I hate you that much. You took everything that was
mine! You should have been dead!”
“Are you done? Are you going to keep this up? Are you going to get to the point or not?”
At that, Ning Ran rose to her feet and prepared to leave.
All of a sudden, Ding Fei sneered and said, “Aren't you looking for the USB? I can give you some clues.”
Ning Ran reciprocated the sneer. “You've been tricking me with the USB's matter since forever. Do you really think
I'll fall for this again?”
“That was in the past. Now, I'll give you the USB as long as you do something for me,” Ding Fei replied.
Walking over to Ding Fei, Ning Ran hissed, “You don't have the USB at all. Do you think I'd believe in your words?”
“But I can give you clues. They're definitely useful clues, but I'll only give them to you if you do something for me.”
“I won't agree to any of your requests, and I won't help you. Not even the most trivial matter.”
At that point, Ding Fei stood up as well. As she glared at Ning Ran, she questioned, “Then why are you here?”
“I wanted to find out what you had to say. Now that I'm done listening, I'm leaving.”
“Stop right there! I'm the only one who knows how to find the things that your mother left behind. I'm serious this
time, and I'm not trying to trick you. As long as you do me a favor, I'll help you find what your mother left behind.”
“I won't help you. Even if I can't find what Mom has left behind, I won't help you,” Ning Ran said in a firm voice.
“But this is easy for you. Why won't you just help me this one time? As long as you help me with this, I'll never come
to you again! I've already changed my looks. I have nothing now, and this is all your fault!”
Speechless, Ning Ran could only shake her head.
“You're unrepentant. Even now, you're still trying to push all the blame on me. If you keep this up, then no one can
save you.”
“Just this once! Help me just this once, and I won't trouble you anymore!”
Hearing that, Ning Ran turned to look at Ding Fei. At that moment, she felt a hint of pity for the latter.
Those who clung to jealousy and resentment would be tormented by their negative feelings every waking moment
in their lives. Happiness would be fleeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDing Fei had changed her appearance, but she could never walk away from the hatred she bore. That was why she
had once again forced herself to the edge of the cliff.
For most people, reaching a dead end was a result of their own actions.
Ordinary people, and even smart ones, tended to create trouble for themselves. In other words, their intelligence
would backfire on them.
“Tell me how I'm supposed to find my mother's belongings first. Only after that will I consider helping you.
Otherwise, you can forget about me helping you. I'm not in the mood to do this, and neither do I have the time,”
Ning Ran icily said to her.
“What if you don't help me after I tell you about it? I don't trust you.”
“If you don't trust me, then feel free to keep the secret to yourself. It's been years since my mother passed away.
While it would be good if I can find her belongings, I won't be devastated if I can't. She's no longer here anymore.
Her belongings never mattered as much as her presence,” Ning Ran said noncommittally.
Of course, her nonchalance was faked. She still cared about getting her mother's belongings back.
“Someone came to visit your mother when she was hospitalized and talked to her for a long time. I have a photo of
that person. I thought I lost it back then, but after scouring through the old family home, I found it,” Ding Fei finally
revealed.
“You went to the old family house? So the thief who broke into the old family house was you?”
“I didn't steal anything. I just visited the place. After all, I grew up there,” Ding Fei retorted.
“Give me the photo.”
“Promise to do me a favor first.”
“I won't agree to it now. Give me the photo first, and if I really find the USB, I'll think about your request. If you
won't give it to me, then forget about this.”
With that, Ning Ran turned to leave with Qiao Zhan.
In the past, Ding Fei had tricked her over and over again using her mother's belongings. Therefore, she was not
going to fall for Ding Fei's trick again.
