Ning Huan had just moved when she realized something was wrong. She hastily sat up and once she noticed her own body, completely naked, her mind turned blank in an instant.
"Qingqing——"
When the man's voice came over, her complexion turned even paler.
"Brother-in-law?"
Nie Chengxi was also evidently aware something wasn't right. He took a glance at Ning Huan, "We——"
"Let’s talk about this later. Let's dress up first!"
Ning Huan forced herself to calm down. Except for the absence of her clothes and a throbbing pain at her temples, she felt no other discomfort.
But before she had the chance to enter the bathroom, the door was suddenly smashed open. Ning Zhiqing screamed as she rushed in, "Ah! Ning Huan! Nie Chengxi! What did you two do!"
Following her was Ye Liangping—her fiance!
Ning Huan stiffened, and before she could speak, "smack," her face was immediately slapped by Ning Zhiqing.
Ning Zhiqing put all her strength in this slap and the imprint of a hand appeared on her face instantly.
"Ning Huan, how can you do this to me!"
Ning Zhiqing seemed like a maniac, crying and hitting Ning Huan while pulling her hair. Ning Huan held her blanket with one hand and tugged at Ning Zhiqing with the other, "Let me go! Last night, clearly——"
"Smack——"
Before the words "you were the one who helped me in" were completed, Ning Zhiqing slapped her again.
"You still want to argue, Ning Huan? I've long suspected you had feelings for Cheng Xi. What I didn't expect was...I didn't expect..."
The unveiling of her hidden feelings left Ning Huan shaken. She cast a glance at Nie Cheng Xi who stood nearby, his gaze on her, but there wasn't a hint of him coming to defend her.
"You're that desperate for male attention? Of all people, you had to seduce your cousin's husband! You just got engaged to Liang Ping!"
Ning Zhiqing scolded her non-stop, not even giving her a chance to speak.
Ning Huan felt a throbbing headache, as if her mind had been split open. With all that had happened, she wasn't even given a chance to figure out who was framing her. Ning Zhiqing grabbed her hair and dragged her along: "Get out! Get out of here, Ning Huan!"
Ning Huan felt her scalp tearing as Zhiqing pulled her by her hair. She tried grabbing onto Ning Zhiqing's hand, but it was as if she was crazy, "Let me go! I have nothing with Nie Cheng Xi!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? You two were sleeping together and yet you claim there's nothing going on!"
Ning Zhiqing somehow found the strength to continue yanking her hair, pulling her down the stairs.
"Zhiqing, what's the meaning of this?"
Ning Zhong appeared, his voice stern as he ordered Ning Zhiqing to stop, but he made no move to help either.
"Dad! Look at this ingrate you've raised! She attempted to seduce her cousin's husband right in our home, moreover yesterday was my birthday!"
"I didn't!"
Ning Huan, fighting through the pain, lifted her gaze to meet Ning Zhong’s, her expression cold.
She had long known that Ning Zhong and his family wanted her out, but she never expected them to stoop so low.
It was clear there was something wrong with the drink last night. She remembered feeling dizzy. Ning Zhiqing was the one who took her to her room. Just thinking about this now, it was clear that the Ning family had set a trap for her!
Her gaze was chillingly ruthless, causing Ning Zhong to flinch momentarily. But as the sly fox that he was, he quickly regained his composure. "Ning Huan, how could you do such a thing!"
Upon hearing Ning Zhong’s words, Ning Huan fell silent and coldly snorted without another word.
"Get out! Our Ning family does not need a white-eyed wolf like you!"
Ning Zhishen jerked forcefully, causing Ning Huan to feel as we if her scalp was being torn away from her head. Tears filled her eyes as she was dragged all the way to the front door of the villa.
"Ah--"
"Squeak--"
Ning Huan was pushed into the middle of the road, barely stopping a racing car inches from her. The sight of the man inside the car sent a shiver up Ning Huan's scalp.
