Xia Ruya booked a flight for 10 a.m. Due to the dense population of Beijing, transportation in Beijing has always been a concern for the government. The heavy traffic conditions have also caused inconvenience in transportation. Even waiting for traffic lights will take a long time, so Xia Ruya went to the airport with Yu Bo and Yang Sao early in the morning.
There were not many people in the VIP lounge. Xia Ruya sat there quietly waiting. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she first came to Beijing.
After getting off the plane, Sister Yang sat with her in the VIP lounge, waiting for Uncle Yu to get the luggage.
No one knew how she felt when she once again stepped into the capital city, which was like a nightmare hell to her.
The unwillingness when Wen Xinya harmed her and left her with nothing, the helplessness when the Xia family kidnapped her, the humiliation when she was beaten and abused by those gangsters, the despair when her body was torn apart, the hatred when she stood up to commit crimes and was covered in blood, the resentment when she fled like a stray dog, all of these invaded her body and eroded her brain like a tide with overwhelming force.
All of this reminded her of her humiliating past and her dirty and unclean body.
The thought of revenge buried deep in her heart was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, a devil that had broken free from its restraints, constantly driving her and strengthening her belief in revenge.
When she stood in the sunshine on the land of the capital with her head held high, she knew that she had overcome all her inner fears.
But, less than two months passed.
She sat here again. This time, returning to Hong Kong City, what she had to overcome was far more complicated and even terrifying than she had imagined. She was not sure, but she had to do it.
"Child, how could you just leave without telling me?" Ning Shuqian was wearing a lavender skirt, mid-length boots, and an autumn and winter fur coat draped over her shoulders. She exuded the charm of a mature woman, but had lost all the elegance and nobility of the former Mrs. Wen.
Xia Ruya slowly raised her eyes, her red eyes full of vulnerability: "I didn't want to trouble Aunt Ning to come and see me off. I was planning to call you after I return to Hong Kong City."
She didn't want anyone to know that she had fled the capital in a panic, so she didn't tell anyone that her flight was at 10 o'clock this morning.
Ning Shuqian sat down next to her: "Why are you being so polite to me? Besides, I also want to see you off."
Xia Ruya said gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Ning!"
Ning Shuqian smiled and looked at Sister Yang and said, "Sister Yang, not far from the airport, there is a shop that makes excellent butter cakes. Ruya loves to eat them. Please buy some for her. Ruya is always very happy after eating them."
Then he gave the address.
Ning Shuqian's request was a bit abrupt, but not excessive. Sister Yang didn't think much about it. She just thought that Ning Shuqian had a good relationship with Xia Ruya, so she made such a request, so she agreed immediately.
However, Xia Ruya was so smart that she did praise the taste of the butter cake from that shop, but she didn't like it so much that she had to go there specially to buy it. Ning Shuqian deliberately sent Sister Yang away, and it was obvious that she had something secret to tell her.
After Sister Yang left, Wen Xinya said gratefully, "I didn't expect Aunt Ning would still remember that I like to eat the butter cakes from that store."
Ning Shuqian smiled and said, "Once we return to Hong Kong City, we won't have the chance to taste this flavor."
As she spoke, she looked at Xia Ruya meaningfully.
Xia Ruya's eyes flickered a few times and she lowered her head slightly.
Ning Shuqian reached out and took her hand that was on her knee and placed it in her palm: "Ruya, even though you didn't say it, I know that being the heir of the Li family is not that easy. I'm afraid your situation will be even more difficult when you return to Hong Kong this time."
She specially sent someone to investigate the Li family's situation and was well aware of the Li family's current situation, so she came to the airport to find Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning Shuqian with a complex and sharp gaze, but the next second her eyes moved, filled with mist, and became pitiful.
Ning Shuqian looked at her pale and pitiful face. Although she didn't say anything, she had indirectly acquiesced to her words. A hint of smile flashed across her eyes: "Ruya, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. I have always regarded you as my own daughter, and you have always been a good child. After returning to Hong Kong City, if you have any difficulties, just call me and tell me. Maybe I can help you!"
She slightly emphasized the tone of her last sentence, sounding somewhat serious, and her eyes became meaningful.
Xia Ruya's heart suddenly started beating wildly. What did Ning Shuqian mean by this
Help her? Is that what she meant
Does Ning Shuqian really have the ability to help her
Could it be related to the mysterious background behind Ning Shuqian
Xia Ruya's eyes flickered, and she said tentatively, "Aunt Ning... I know you care about me and want to help me, but the Li family's affairs are far from as simple as you think. I..."
She wanted to get Ning Shuqian's attention and learn more about the power behind her.
Over the past three years, she watched Ning Shuqian and Wen Xinya fighting each other. Although Ning Shuqian had never defeated Wen Xinya, she knew that Ning Shuqian had never truly lost either, because every time she thought Ning Shuqian was defeated, Ning Shuqian would stand up again.
This time, Ning Shuqian had clearly become a discarded pawn, with no power to turn things around. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, she had once again won over Wen Haowen, and even used the entertainment city project incident to stir up trouble in the Wen family.
It would be impossible for Ning Shuqian to do it alone.
The only possibility is the mysterious force behind Ning Shuqian. This force is so powerful that even the Wen family is not taken seriously.
Ning Shuqian raised her eyebrows, with a look of disapproval: "If I say I can help you, then I can definitely help you. You don't have to think too much about other things. You will understand some things in the future."
There are many things that she still doesn't understand, so it's not easy for her to mention them to Xia Ruya. Moreover, she won't rashly tell Xia Ruya about those things. She believes that Xia Ruya is a smart person who knows what she is talking about and how to make choices.
Ning Shuqian's secretive attitude made Xia Ruya's eyes flash with suspicion, but she was cautious in her heart: "Aunt Ning, I understand. If there is any need, I will definitely tell you."
Although she wanted to manipulate Ning Shuqian, she didn't want to have anything to do with the person behind Ning Shuqian for the time being. Such mystery was always frightening. She was afraid that all this was just courting death, so she naturally had to be cautious.
Her answer was completely silent and there was no sound of perfunctoriness. Ning Shuqian naturally had no idea what she was thinking. After all, she was like a piece of charcoal in the snow today, and no one would refuse warmth in the cold.
