"If Nanyang is that perfect, why don't you marry her instead?

" I asked with a cold smile.

nPerhaps it was my smile which provoked him because Jing Ning said with annoyance,

"Because my 7th uncle likes her!

"

nWait, what? Say that again?

n

"What did you say? Your 7th uncle likes my sister?

" Something must be wrong with my ears.

nAs if realizing he had misspoken, Jing Ning quickly changed the subject,

"Nanxing, Nanyang is a good girl. She always gives in to you even though you are not her biological sister. You really can't find family like that anymore, you have to learn to appreciate her. Do you understand?

"

"Jing Ning, we've wandered too far from the topic. The bottom line is, I will not marry you because I don't like you,

" I concluded.

nJing Ning leaned back in the chair.

"Nanxing, something or someone must be giving you a bad influence. You were never like this in the past. Nanxing, you need to control your temper. I've already discussed things with my father, I will take you back to the Nan Family today. I've also talked it out with my mother, she doesn't mind if you don't get into a good university, therefore, you can forget all about the entrance exam. If you really still want to study, I can send you overseas for a few years to study. Nanxing, we will arrange everything for you, we only need you to follow our orders. Nanxing, you are still young, you need to be protected. You don't know how dangerous the world really is. I do not ask much from you, I only need you to listen to me.

"

nThe alarm bell immediately rang in my mind. Something doesn't sit right. Why is Jing Ning suddenly so determined to marry me?

nIn my previous life, I was a fool to have accepted his marriage proposal. In that marriage, I felt no love at all. The lesson from that painful life was that Jing Ning never did love me. He never loved me then and definitely doesn't love me now. So why does he insist on marrying me all of a sudden?

nThere is only one answer, he has profit to gain from marrying me. But I still have no idea what this 'profit' is. They know that I don't know about it and hope that I will never find out about it.

nThis discovery intrigued me.

nI looked at Jing Ning.

"Jing Ning, I feel like a broken record but I will say it again. I will not marry you and I will not let anyone control my life. I am not throwing a tantrum and this is not jealousy talking. I simply have found my own direction in life.

" I stood up because I had nothing to say to him anymore.

nJing Ning stood up and slammed his fists on the table. He demanded in a low voice,

"Nanxing, is it because you like my 7th uncle?

"

nI turned around and looked at him noncommittally.

nJing Ning's expression was gloomy.

"Nanxing, he is your 7th uncle! Plus he already has someone in his heart, and that person is your sister, Nanyang!

"

nI really wanted to laugh at him. Has he no idea how contradictory he sounded? Jing Tian is my 7th uncle, is Jing Tian not Nanyang's 7th uncle too?

nBut why would Jing Ning say that Jing Tian likes Nanyang? That is worth pondering. However, I was not going to discuss it with Jing Ning, he was only going to feed me nonsense anyway.

nJing Ning's appearance at school wasn't entirely fruitless, at least I managed to see his sinister side which I didn't get to see much in my previous life.

n

"Jing Ning, the reason you wish to marry me is for the immeasurable wealth I represent, isn't it?

" I suddenly asked.

nJing Ning's expression changed. That was all the answer I needed.

nI walked out and didn't turn my head around. There was a very strange feeling welling up within me. Due to my previous life, I knew how most people would fare in the end, however I had no idea how they got there, I was too deceived to tell.

nBut now, in this life, many things had changed. Things had developed differently, I had no idea if they were brought upon by me or not. However, I didn't care about that.

nBecause my goal is clear.

nSince God has given me a second chance, I will not squander it. My future, my career, my love, my study-- I will take them all back!

nAnd now I have an extra goal, the truth!

nI have to know the truth behind everything that had happened!

nAt the same time, I will not forgive those who have injured me in my past life.. Karma is coming.
