“You should wait outside the door. I’d like to speak to her alone.”
The prison guard thought for a moment and immediately replied, “Yes, Miss. Please summon me instantly if there’s anything.”
“Okay.” Nangong Nuannuan revealed a warm smile, which made the prison guard like her even more.
After waiting for the prison guard to be gone, Jiang Shuwan sneered. “Zhong Nuannuan, you’ve ruined me. Why do you have to come over personally to make fun of me now that you have such a precious status? Don’t you think that’s low, even for you?”
A small smile appeared on Nangong Nuannuan’s face. “It’s a little low-class, and that’s why I’ve never visited you even after you’ve been arrested for so long. However… I saw a piece of news today, and I assume you might want to see it. No matter what, you’ve been wearing my mother’s hat for so long. If I got hold of the news that I know you’d want to know, I should at least allow you the right to know.”
Jiang Shuwan frowned a little. After digesting what Zhong Nuannuan said, an image of Zhong Qianqian flashed across her mind and her expression transformed into a sinister and loathful one.
“Zhong Nuannuan, you’ve already gotten the man you want and the identity you want. Qianqian doesn’t know anything. I’m the mastermind behind all that, so I advise you not to touch her. She’s your half-sister after all.”
Hearing this, Nangong Nuannuan smiled wider.
“Jiang Shuwan, I’ve never been able to understand how your brain works. After what you’ve done to my mother and me, you’re playing the family card with me now? Are you crazy?”
“I’m not playing the family card with you. I’m threatening you!” Jiang Shuwan said, “If you dare do anything to Qianqian, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!”
Jiang Shuwan’s eyes were wide open, and her eyes were bloodshot. Accompanied by her chapped lips and aged look, she did look rather terrifying.
However…
“Hehe, I wasn’t afraid of you when you’re human. So… What makes you think that I’d be scared of you after you become a ghost?”
Jiang Shuwan was struck dumb for a second. Was this woman not afraid of ghosts?
Nangong Nuannuan said with piqued interest, “Will you believe me if I say that the second you turn into a ghost, I’d immediately invite a ghost catcher over? I heard that ghost catchers can store malicious ghosts in a container, and then I’d make sure that you could see how happy I’d be from inside the container every day. How about that? Are you interested in giving it a try?”
Jiang Shuwan, “…”
Talking to this woman who never played her cards in a normal sequence but could kill you the moment she played her cards reminded Jiang Shuwan how much she did not want to speak to Zhong Nuannuan.
“Did you come here today to chitchat with me? Didn’t you say you have news for me?”
Still smiling, Nangong Nuannuan replied, “No rush, no rush. Before I show you the news, don’t you want to know how Zhong Qianqian’s doing recently?”
Jiang Shuwan truly loved her daughter, Zhong Qianqian. Therefore, when she heard Zhong Nuannuan mention Zhong Qianqian, she clenched her fists. Her face was suddenly anxious while her voice trembled involuntarily.
“You evil woman, what did you do to my Qianqian?”
“Hey, don’t just throw the blame on me like that! Just like you said, Zhong Qianqian is my half-sister after all. I don’t have any reason to let Zhong Qianqian bear the consequences of your mistakes, right?”
Jiang Shuwan felt slightly better after hearing that.
“However…”
As she heard the twist in Nangong Nuannuan’s words, Jiang Shuwan felt nervous again.
