The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1098: Did He Get Into Big Trouble Out of Greed?

Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, chuckled, and said, ”Can you stop treating me like a child? I can take care of myself.”

Nangong Yaoling said seriously, ”From head to toe, where do you look like someone who can take care of herself? Alright... let’s not talk about this. By the way, last time Xia Xinmei came to see you, did she mention the contract?”

Xia Xiaonuan froze slightly upon hearing this.

”Yes... she did ask.”

”How did you respond?”

”I said... I said... the contract hasn’t been found...” Xia Xiaonuan hesitated for a moment, then lied.

Could it be that Nangong Yaoling is starting to suspect something?

If he finds out that Jiang Xue is a fake, and that it’s Xia Xinmei in disguise.

He would definitely explode in anger!

By then, Xia Xinmei would have no way out.

No, she can resolve this issue well, although Xia Xinmei is extremely hateful, she is still Xia Xiaonuan’s sister, even if they weren’t born from the same mother...

Besides, her crime doesn’t warrant death.

Listening on the phone, a trace of disappointment flashed in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.

”Alright then, I understand.”

”Hmm... If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

”Okay.”

Xia Xiaonuan hung up the phone a bit uneasily, her mind in chaos.

How did things turn out like this?

Even though she knew Jiang Xue was fake long ago, she never imagined it was Xia Xinmei, her sister...

Xia Xiaonuan helplessly lowered her head.

Originally, she thought she had no parents since childhood, and after transmigrating into this body, she at least has her own parents and a sister.

But... what she didn’t expect is, the ones who betrayed her in the end were her father and sister.

And Yun, who was always by her side taking care of her, was scheming against her all along.

If the real Xia Xiaonuan were still alive in this world, how heartbroken she would be.

She had no emotional ties with them, not exactly sad, but couldn’t help but lament the horrors of human nature.

Thinking back, she once sincerely cared for Yun.

Even considered her the only family, but in the end, it was this very woman who killed her biological mother.

Xia Xiaonuan’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

No matter what, she would avenge Mrs. Xia who was killed by Yun.

Xia Xiaonuan placed her hand on her leg, slowly clenching her fist.

Nangong Yaoling tossed the contract onto the desk.

A trace of barely noticeable fatigue flashed in his eyes.

Xia Xiaonuan, why, even now, won’t you believe in me?

Can’t we be honest with each other?

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

Qin Yi entered from outside, looked at Nangong Yaoling, and said, ”Young Master, Wu Da is here.”

”Let him in.”

Wu Da stepped forward and looked at Nangong Yaoling.

”What do you know?” Nangong Yaoling asked coldly, his chin arrogantly taut.

Wu Da was utterly confused.

”Young... Young Master... I don’t know anything?” he said nervously, cold sweat dripping. Why does Young Master look so angry? Could it be... he knows something he shouldn’t and said something he shouldn’t have?

Could it be he stumbled into big trouble?

Wu Da’s legs trembled uncontrollably, and he turned to glance at Qin Yi.

Just after he finished questioning the young mistress, he was summoned by Mr. Qin’s call, and being asked like this by Young Master, he now felt completely bewildered.

Qin Yi glanced at his trembling body, his expression darkened, then spoke.
