Chapter 1421: Am I a Pawn or a Discard?

Ning Shuqian poured another glass of red wine for herself. The cheerful and lively shade of red wine being poured into the glass made Ning Shuqian’s mood extremely good for no reason, just like its sweet taste in her mouth.

In this plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo, that person provided them with a lot of help. When she thought of that person’s promise to her, she could not help but feel extremely excited and could not mask the smile on her face.

Ning Shuqian’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Ruya, this is such a wonderful moment. Should we have a drink to celebrate such happy news?”

In her life, the person Ning Shuqian disliked most was Old Mr. Mo. The person she loathed most was Mo Yunyao. And the person she hated most was none other than Wen Xinya. The plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo was going extremely smoothly and that made Ning Shuqian very happy.

Now that the people she disliked most and loathed most were dead, there was only her most hated Wen Xinya left, and it would be difficult for her to survive alone. Was there anything in this world better than this?

Xia Ruya’s pale lips pulled into a thin arc. “Forget about celebrating. Old Mr. Mo was my grandfather for fifteen years. Although he was cold and indifferent to me, I cannot forget about the care or feelings involved.” After speaking, she lightly touched the glass of wine in Ning Shuqian’s hand with the glass of Bloody Mary in her own hand. Her clear and sweet voice echoed lightly. “This glass of wine shall be my mourning wine to him!”

What was the most painful thing buried deep down in Old Mr. Mo’s heart?

It was none other than his late daughter who died of premature delivery and dystocia.

As far as the domestic medical level back in those days was concerned, it was quite backward, and cesarean section technology was immature and not popular in the country. Even with few people choosing a cesarean section to give birth, it was still very unexpected for a child to die during this procedure.

Many people definitely questioned this.

Naturally, the smart Old Mr. Mo did too.

Writing about Mo Yunyao’s death was the biggest hit to Old Mr. Mo.

Her plan was meticulous. Old Mr. Mo died of sudden illness, and no one could find a link to them. Even if he was the generation’s most highly regarded and respected person by all the great writers in the literary world, death was unavoidable. And what did this have anything to do with them?

Ning Shuqian smiled charmingly and enchantingly. “Mourning? If we mourn Old Mr. Mo’s death, will everything we hope for come true just like how we achieved this goal?”

The person who proposed this plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo was Xia Ruya, and the person who made the plan was also Xia Ruya. Xia Ruya even participated in and oversaw this plan from beginning to end. Mourning for the care and feelings involved? Naturally, she did not believe it. Xia Ruya’s heart was harder than anyone else’s.

Xia Ruya remained silent with a smile.

After Ning Shuqian left, Xia Ruya’s eyes flashed fiercely as she drank the remaining red wine in the glass in one shot. The red liquid slowly flowed along the lines of her mouth down to the corner, making her a strange, demonic, bloody beauty.

Then, Xia Ruya’s cell phone rang.

Xia Ruya took out her phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar phone number. She did not know why, but his set of numbers gave her an inexplicable excitement. She pressed the answer button.

While the other side was still silent, Xia Ruya opened her mouth to speak first. “Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you this time?”

She was referring to Old Mr. Mo’s death.

Her understanding of the people behind Ning Shuqian was only at the tip of the iceberg. But even with only this tip, they had helped her gain a footing in the Li family. It was conceivable how terrible this force was, but instead of fear, she felt faintly excited.

She knew that as long as she became recognized by this force, she could get anything she wanted.

How to attain the other party’s approval?

For 3 years, Xia Ruya constantly had that on her mind.

She finally found her breakthrough through Ning Shuqian.

And that was Old Mr. Mo!

In order to remain safe, when she returned to Capital city this time, she deliberately proposed a plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo. Sure enough… Ning Shuqian’s frightened expression was filled with hints of excitement. This fiery excitement allowed her to detect something strange. She tried every means to test Ning Shuqian and finally confirmed her speculations.

Therefore, this plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo this time, was also her way to gain favor from the people behind Ning Shuqian.

At this point, Ning Shuqian did not know yet that she was regarded as a stepping stone.

The man on the other side of the phone laughed strangely with a weird voice. “Of course I am satisfied. Otherwise, I would not be making this call today. Ms. Xia has good plans.”

There was unabashed appraisal in his tone.

Xia Ruya could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. She continued with a sincere tone, careful and cautious. “The plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo is an expression of my greatest sincerity to you, and I hope to work with you.”

Xia Ruya was making a risky bet!

When she first returned to Harbor City, this person gave her a helping hand during her most difficult time, which proved that the other party had intentions to help her. They had not acted to test her, and the plan to deal with Old Mr. Mo was also her testing the other party.

“Hehe, you are a smart person, but smart people should know that you are not qualified to work with me. Do you know why you were mistaken by the Mo family to be part of the Wen Family? Do you know why you could silently get rid of those people who kidnapped you? You have always been under my control, and your performance can only reflect your value, whether it is to be a useful chess piece, or to be ruthlessly abandoned.”

The weird voice spoke out facts, causing Xia Ruya’s heart to set off waves of unease.

Therefore, Mo Yunyao’s death, Wen Xinya’s disappearance, Ning Shuqian’s marriage into the Wen family, she becoming part of the Wen family, these… were all caused by this man!

That… was too terrifying!

However, deep down, she could not doubt his words.

Ever since the revelation that Xia Ruya was an illegitimate daughter, she had questioned over and over again, why was she mistaken for the daughter of the Wen family at first, was there really two identical birthmarks in the same place?

Wen family, why did they not do a parental DNA test? This was not aligned with the cautious character of Old Mr. Wen.

At this moment, she finally realized that someone had calculated everything from the beginning.

“You seem surprised?” the weird voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Xia Ruya was stunned, thinking of her fate being manipulated. She felt cold for no reason, and realized that the other party actually knew that she had been abducted by the four people. Then… he definitely also knew that she had been abused and raped.

Xia Ruya’s body felt like an ice cellar. That was the dirtiest and most horrible event in her life. No one knew about that except those people who died, but it turns out… someone had already seen everything.

At this point, she already knew that she had lost the opportunity to fight back. She pursed her lips. “Then… in your eyes, am I a pawn or a discard?”

“Hehe, of course you’re a chess piece!” The voice from the other side sent chills down her spine. He hung up and Xia Ruya was accompanied by the “beep” sound echoing in her ear.
