Chapter 1016 - Let's Just Wait for Wen Xinya to Mess up

At the same time, Ning Shuqian and Ning Yuya in the nursing home were also paying attention to Wen Xinya’s final examination results.

At the break of dawn, Ning Shuqian got up early and dolled up. She sat radiantly on the sofa as she ate fruit desserts, waiting for the release of the final examination results.

Ning Yuya sat beside Ning Shuqian as she changed the channels on the television with the remote controller.

Ning Shuqian asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice, “Yuya, do you know when exactly will the examination results be released?”

She had already refreshed the public website of Lan Feng Institute dozens of times, yet there was never an update on the examination results.

Ning Yuya shook her head. “I don’t know the exact time, but it should be around nine to ten o’clock! Mum… you don’t have to keep refreshing the page. When the results are out, it’ll immediately be updated on the website.”

After hearing that, Ning Shuqian stopped refreshing the webpage.

Ning Yuya placed down the remote controller and leaned her head on her mother’s shoulder. “Mum, do you think Wen Xinya can do well enough to enter the design course of Capital University?”

She had asked this question multiple times. Previously, she believed that there was no way that Wen Xinya had the capability to score well enough to enter the university. However, she felt increasingly uneasy as the date of the release of examination results grew closer.

She wanted Wen Xinya to fail more than anybody else in the world, for her to be a disgrace within the social circle of Capital city.

Ning Shuqian gently picked up a Niagara Grape with her slender fingers with red painted nails. It looked extremely alluring as she rolled the grape between her fingers with her hand that was as fair as snow. She replied, “Well, even pigs can fly if Wen Xinya manages to enter the design course at Capital University.”

Ning Yuya was bewitched by her mother who could look so mesmerizing by just holding a grape. She then continued, “But I’ve heard that her results have always been good in Lan Feng Institute. What if she actually gets in the university?”

She stared at her mother and recalled the times when she lost control because of Wen Haowen’s affair. On top of that, she remembered when her mum was lying in the hospital looking all weak and sickly. At that time, she really wondered if her mother would be able to keep Wen Haowen at her side.

However, in just a short period of two months, her mother had turned over a new leaf. If she were not so familiar with her, she would have thought that her mother was a completely different person.

It was as if she had aged ten years backwards, giving off a mesmerizing aura now. Even the cold-hearted Wen Haowen could not resist her beauty.

Ning Shuqian laughed. “The final examination is not that simple. There are many students who study hard and are at the top of their classes. However, when it comes to the final examination, how many of them actually achieved their desired results?”

“Don’t forget, Wen Xinya is just a hooligan from the streets who has never even attended middle school. I heard that the final examinations test a lot on middle school foundations. Even if she did well in Lan Feng Institute, her weak middle school foundations will be her downfall. After all, the final examination is all about knowing how to apply their foundations correctly.

“When Wen Xinya was kidnapped, she had to take a leave of six months, which would’ve caused her to fall behind others. I know that her teacher and the dean were all looking for her back when she attended the launch of Ai Shang Group’s cosmetics as a representative of the Wen Corporation. Why would they have their eyes on her if her grades had not declined?

“She really didn’t know her place, as if she could be a representative of the Wen Corporation. Students should just play their roles and study hard. They are just a disgrace without good grades,” Ning Shuqian said, her voice filled with hatred.

Ning Yuya’s eyes glinted as she replied, “You are right, mum!”

After her mother had captured Wen Haowen’s heart in her hands once again, she admired her greatly. She had no doubt that her mother was correct.

Ning Shuqian raised her eyebrows and said haughtily, “Let’s just wait for Wen Xinya to mess up!”

There was not a single person in the social circle who was not aware of Wen Xinya’s desire to enter the design course at Capital University. They were all just waiting to see her results.

Ning Yuya smirked. “I really look forward to watching that little b*tch fail.”

Ning Shuqian patted her shoulder and did not say anything further.

Ning Yuya dropped her expression filled with hatred and hugged Ning Shuqian’s arm. “Let’s not ruin our mood by talking about that wench any further.” She then continued coyly, “Mum, tell me how you became so young and beautiful. I want to be as charismatic as you such that no men can turn their gaze away from me.”

Ning Yuya was really envious that her mother could go through such a drastic improvement in a short time. Meanwhile, her own skin was dry and rough because of the drugs. She was upset that she had lost her beauty that she once took pride in.

Ning Shuqian suddenly darkened. “I can’t.”

Ning Yuya was in shock. She asked, “Mum, why not?”

She could not understand why her mother would not tell her the method of becoming young and beautiful.

“Yuya, do you know what’s a tea millet?” Ning Shuqian asked as she gently stroked her daughter’s face. Her face had been ruined by drugs and looked like a flower in full bloom that was on the verge of wilting.

Ning Yuya nodded. “I know. A tea millet is a type of flower that blooms in Spring. After it blooms at its peak, the only thing that awaits it is destruction, just like fireworks in the sky that disappears after a few seconds of beauty.”

Ning Shuqian touched her own face without saying anything.

Nobody could escape turning old along with the tide of time. Trying to preserve their youth was just delaying the inevitable. Her appearance now was all a lie. She had to rely on various drugs with high risks and beauty equipment with side effects in order to look young. The price she had to pay for beauty was tremendous.

She rubbed her belly. Those bowls of pitch-black concoction she had to drink would slowly ruin her womb, taking away a woman’s chance of becoming a mother.

Ning Yuya could not understand her. “Mum… What do you mean by that?”

Ning Shuqian smiled and patted her head. “It’s nothing. It’s just that the method I used is only suitable for older women. A youthful girl like you is not suited for it.”

She would never let her own daughter result in that method like her.

Ning Yuya still had full confidence and faith in her mother. However, she could not help but feel a little disappointed.
