Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Want to know the man that night? 4

She really is direct, just like herself, always only seeing the side most advantageous to her.

Ye Ning came to a halt again, but she didn’t speak or turn around, instead just stood there, as though she wanted to hear what she had to say.

Seeing this, Yang Xueshan started speaking slowly from behind, "Actually, I should have realized much earlier that it was you. In this world, no one else could set up such a big trap for me to fall into."

"That’s because you’re stupid!"

"Yes, I am indeed stupid. Compared to you, you were always smarter. The reason I beat you back then was entirely because you had not been guarding against me." She actually openly admitted that she was not as good as her.

Ye Ning sneered coldly, her heart hard as stone, feeling not the slightest bit of relief.

Yang Xueshan saw her reaction and the corners of her mouth tugged into a smile, "Are you really happy now to see my downfall? The man I struggled so hard to take from you back then is now treating me this way."

Finally, Ye Ning laughed, turning around to face her. For the first time in five years, she looked at her seriously, "You’re right, I am indeed very happy now seeing you like this, especially at the moment of his killing—I can’t tell you how thrilling it was."

"..."

Staring at her, Yang Xueshan looked for a long, long time, her gaze never once leaving her face.

This indeed was a stranger’s face, but those eyes, still exactly the same as before, with pupils the color of glazed glass, clear and lucid, just like that girl from years ago.

What was different now, though, was that when those beautiful eyes used to look at her, they were always filled with warmth and trust. She’d cling to her, and in those pupils, was the reflection of her elder sister.

She’d say, "Sister Xueshan, we’ll always be together in the future, right?"

She’d also say, "Sister, if you’re adopted, will you take me with you?"

She’d say, "..."

She said so much, so much that Ye Ning had almost forgotten in these five years, but now, seeing her, it all rushed back like a tide.

It turned out that in the past five years, she hadn’t really forgotten, but had sealed away the evil deeds she had done and her extinguished conscience deep in her memory. For her own glory and wealth, so she could live with a clean conscience, she had locked it all away.

Yang Xueshan looked at the eyes now staring at her filled with nothing but hatred, mockery, and coldness, and finally, she too started to laugh, "Is this retribution? I made you end up like this back then, and now it’s my turn, with the same fate as yours."

"No, you’re different from me. I’m still standing in front of you right now, but haven’t you noticed? From the moment things went down to now, there hasn’t been a single person by your side, Yang Xueshan. You don’t deserve the same fate as me."

"What?"

"Take good care of your injuries. The conditions in prison aren’t so good; if you’re not well recovered, it won’t be easy enduring the years ahead." With that final remark, she turned and left.

Seeing this, Yang Xueshan suddenly raised her head high from the stretcher, "Don’t you want to know who entered your room that night? Now you’re a single mother, could that child be his? Don’t you want to know who he is?"

With those words, the figure who had almost stepped out of the door, stopped once again.

And this time, the stop was more abrupt, almost coming to a sudden halt!
