Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Sisters at Odds

Housekeeper Wu reported that it’s Ye Ningwan’s younger sister who has come.

At first, Ye Ningwan didn’t react; how could she have a sister?

It was Zhan Hanjue who reminded her, "Have you forgotten Wan Tianning?"

Only then did Ye Ningwan remember that she indeed had a half-sister.

However, this sister didn’t show gratitude after she was brought out from the Wan Family, and she even misunderstood that Ye Ningwan caused their mother’s death. She’s always been filled with resentment towards her.

In her confrontation with Feng Qianru, she even added insult to injury, framing and slandering her, no wonder she forgot she had such a sister.

"So it’s her. Why is she here?"

"Not sure, she’s waiting in the living room," said Housekeeper Wu.

Ye Ningwan turned to look at Zhan Hanjue, who said, "Go in and you’ll find out."

The two little kids jumped out of the car and ran off to play.

Ye Ningwan had the household staff keep an eye on them, and although the housekeeper had been replaced by Housekeeper Wu, greatly improving security,

Ye Ningwan still specifically arranged for someone to watch over the two kids to prevent anyone with bad intentions from exploiting any gaps.

She and Zhan Hanjue walked inside, and sure enough, as soon as they entered the living room, they saw a girl sitting on the sofa.

The girl had her back to them; all they could see was her cascading, smooth, and beautiful curly hair and her straight back.

Just from the back, one could tell she was a great beauty.

More than four years had passed, and now she was eighteen or nineteen, indeed all grown up.

Ye Ningwan spoke, "What brings you to me?"

Upon hearing Ye Ningwan’s voice, Wan Tianning stood up from the sofa and turned to look at Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow.

The two of them had always looked alike, which was something Wan Tianning was very resentful about.

She completely ignored the concept of ’first come, first served’; this face was hers first, and she hated that Ye Ningwan looked similar to her.

Now that they’re grown, they looked even more alike.

However, one was youthful while the other was mature, each with their own charm.

"To those who don’t know, seeing our two faces, they might think we are full sisters," said Wan Tianning.

Ye Ningwan replied, "Relax, anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn’t think that. After all, good looks are a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. I’m way more interesting than you, right? Jue."

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

Wan Tianning gritted her teeth in anger, clenching her fists, "It’s been over four years, and you’re still opposing me like this."

"Over four years, have you only grown in age and not in brains? Did you come here specifically to argue with me?" Ye Ningwan retorted.

Ultimately, Wan Tianning, being young and fiery, was easily provoked by Ye Ningwan’s few words, nearly forgetting her purpose for coming.

Now, reminded by Ye Ningwan, she remembered what she was here for.

"I’m sorry, sister, I was being immature earlier, please forgive me," Wan Tianning apologized.

Ye Ningwan looked at her with surprise.

Wan Tianning added, "Sister, I really didn’t mean to argue with you. I just heard you’re back, so I specifically came to see you."

Her tone was sincere, as if she really was just here to see her.

If it weren’t for her being an actress, Ye Ningwan might have almost believed it.

But unfortunately, she wasn’t the Ye Ningwan from four years ago; over those four years, she hadn’t just grown in age without developing wisdom.

Still, with Wan Tianning showing such sincerity, she couldn’t continue being harsh.

Not to mention, it wouldn’t look good to others, even Zhan Hanjue; she feared affecting her image in his eyes.

Therefore, she softened her tone, "Had you said so earlier, spoken like this earlier, I wouldn’t be opposing you. I’m glad you came to see me, it’s been so long, and now look, you’ve grown up."

She walked over, showing a pleased expression of ’my family has such a grown-up daughter.’

Wan Tianning really wanted to roll her eyes but held back.

After all, coming here today was with a purpose.

To truly offend Ye Ningwan would mean all her efforts would go to waste.

"Sister, let’s sit down and have a good talk," Wan Tianning suggested.

Ye Ningwan nodded, and asked the housekeeper to make tea, then told Zhan Hanjue, "Jue, you go ahead with your work, I’ll chat with my sister for a bit."

Zhan Hanjue nodded and went upstairs.

As soon as Zhan Hanjue left, Ye Ningwan didn’t want to keep pretending with Wan Tianning.

She elegantly crossed one leg over the other, looked at her meaningfully, and asked, "Tell me, what’s your real purpose for coming here suddenly?"

"Sister, I told you I came to see you, why do you show this attitude as soon as brother-in-law leaves?" Wan Tianning frowned, looking hurt and aggrieved.

Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes, "Wan Tianning, Zhan Hanjue isn’t here, so you don’t have to keep pretending. Between us, let’s be a bit more straightforward; what’s the point of hiding? Four years ago, you weren’t this innocent little white rabbit, and after over four years in the entertainment industry, you’re suddenly showing sisterly affection? Do you think I would believe it?"

"You’re always like this, never believing me," Wan Tianning looked heartbroken.

Ye Ningwan replied seriously, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s that I know you too well. Your father, your brother, even you... with such inherited traits, how do you expect me to believe?"

"Fine, since you insist on cutting the pleasantries and getting to the point, I’ll say it," Wan Tianning realized she couldn’t deceive Ye Ningwan and spoke the truth.

Ye Ningwan wore a ’just as I thought’ expression, saying with satisfaction, "That’s the Wan Tianning I know, not pretending—when you were like that just now, I got goosebumps."

Wan Tianning glared at her angrily.

Ye Ningwan responded with a smile.

Wan Tianning nearly exploded with frustration, biting her lip before revealing her purpose.

"Actually, my intention is simple. I know the Zhan Group is looking for a female celebrity to be a spokesperson, and I want to collaborate with the Zhan Group. I hope you’ll put in a good word for me with brother-in-law, so they might consider me first. Of course, I’m not insisting that the Zhan Group uses me—I’m willing to take any test they offer. I’m only striving for it because this endorsement really suits me, not because I want to exploit relationships or take unfair methods."

It seemed she really wanted this endorsement but was afraid people would say she used improper methods—she even specially explained this to Ye Ningwan.

But Ye Ningwan wasn’t interested in her explanations; she only looked at her curiously, "Shouldn’t you directly approach Zhan Hanjue about this matter? Why tell me?"

"Doesn’t he listen to you?" Wan Tianning pouted.

If she could resolve it by approaching Zhan Hanjue, would she be here with Ye Ningwan?

Ye Ningwan chuckled, "You’ve misunderstood—in matters of company interests, he truly wouldn’t listen to me. Telling me this is of no use; I’m just a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I don’t understand or interfere in these matters."

"I’ve heard your brother Ye Shao has also entered the entertainment industry, signed with a company. Coincidentally, both your brother and sister are in the same company. Sister, do you know what this implies?" Wan Tianning asked with a smile.
