Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 421: The Sisters Make a Deal

Ye Ningwan’s face darkened, and she harshly cursed Ye Shao again in her heart.

This troublesome guy really knows how to make a mess for himself, signing with anyone’s company wouldn’t do, he just had to sign with Wan Tianning’s company.

However, on the surface she couldn’t show her unease and laughed mockingly, "Same company, different talent. It’s not your company, what can you possibly do to him?"

"Sister, it seems you’re too well-protected by brother-in-law and don’t understand how hard it is to survive outside. In the entertainment industry, although there are many rising stars, seniority still matters. No matter how it stands, I’ve already started to generate profits for the company, I’m the cash cow here. What does Ye Shao have? A rookie, not even officially debuted. Do you think the company would offend me for a rookie, or would they rather hide a newcomer so he never stands a chance?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"So let him be sidelined, at worst, he won’t mix in this industry," said Ye Ningwan.

Wan Tianning replied, "Sister’s right, there are more than just entertainment circles out there. Just look at brother-in-law’s company, vast and affluent, any position arranged for him would probably be easier than mixing in the entertainment industry. However, since he’s given up his original career to enter this circle, he might not necessarily want brother-in-law’s charity. Sister, don’t you think I’m right?"

"Earlier I misspoke," Ye Ningwan said, "I said you only grew in age, not in brains, that’s my misunderstanding. Apparently, you have grown wiser over the past four years."

Wan Tianning: "..."

Is she praising her, or mocking her?

Forget it, won’t argue with her.

"So what do you think about my proposal, sister? If you’re willing, we can reach an agreement where you speak up for me to brother-in-law, and I could safeguard Ye Shao in the company. Sister, it’s a win-win situation."

"You say you’d protect him, how do I know if you’re being genuine or if you’d turn around and stab him in the back once I agree?" asked Ye Ningwan.

Wan Tianning exclaimed, "You don’t trust me?"

Ye Ningwan chuckled, "Do you think I should trust you?"

"Okay, I understand you don’t trust me. Indeed, there are too many grudges between us, it’s normal you don’t trust. So, I’ll write you a guarantee, with my guarantee, you should trust me, right? If I break it, you can use it to ruin me. I’m not going to breach my promise," Wan Tianning vowed.

Ye Ningwan nodded after a moment’s consideration.

Although she wasn’t in the entertainment industry, from her bouts of wits with Li Qingqing, she understood the importance of reputation to celebrities.

The fact that she was willing to write a guarantee showed she really yearned for the endorsement opportunity.

Ye Ningwan didn’t know what this endorsement meant for Zhan Group.

She couldn’t agree to it immediately.

After all, the company was Zhan Hanjue’s, and any decisions should ultimately be made by him.

"I can agree to suggest it to Zhan Hanjue for you, but I can’t guarantee he’ll accept. After all, he’s managing the company, and I don’t understand the internal pros and cons to make promises for him."

"I understand, so once Zhan Group decides to collaborate with me, that’s when I’ll write the guarantee for you," said Wan Tianning.

She stood up, planning to leave.

Now that her goal was achieved, she naturally didn’t want to stay any longer.

However, as she approached the door, Ye Ningwan stood up and suddenly called her.

"Wan Tianning."

"Anything else?"

Wan Tianning stopped and turned around.

"Your mother’s death, you’re still brooding over it, aren’t you?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wan Tianning clenched her fist, and after a while, coldly snorted, "What do you think? Unlike you, I grew up in my parents’ love. I was supposed to be a beloved, carefree princess who never had to worry about the future. But because of your presence, my father died, my mother died, my brother is missing. Do you think I wouldn’t be still brooding? Do you think I wouldn’t hate you?"

"Indeed," Ye Ningwan said, "Looking from your perspective, you indeed have reasons to hate me, to brood over it. However, for Wan Yufeng, I don’t feel guilty towards you. He died because of my presence, yet he also caused my father’s death, forcing me to leave my parents at a young age. From this point, I don’t feel guilty towards you at all. As for your mother... I originally didn’t want to tell you, since I’m not sure myself. But since you’re still holding onto it bitterly, it’s better to tell you, lest you suffer continuously."

"What do you have to tell me?" Wan Tianning asked curiously.

"Mother... she might not be dead, but still alive," Ye Ningwan said softly.

"Impossible!" Wan Tianning shouted, "Her body was recovered back then, how could she be alive? Impossible!"

"They once said Zhan Hanjue had died too, but isn’t he still alive?" Ye Ningwan mocked.

"But, I saw mother’s body with my own eyes," said Wan Tianning.

Overwhelmed, she ran back and stood before Ye Ningwan.

As if this would prove Ye Ningwan was lying, that she was deceiving her.

Not only did they resemble each other, but their height was almost identical.

Facing each other, neither would blink, steadfastly staring at one another.

"Wan Tianning, back when my parents had a car accident, there was my mother’s body too. So relying on bodies as a judgment for someone’s death was long no longer a substantiated proof."

After a long stare, Ye Ningwan slowly explained.

"Where could she be then? If it wasn’t her body, where did she go?" Wan Tianning asked.

"Wan Tianning, you’re astute, some things don’t need me to say explicitly, you can guess. I’m telling you this not to have a knot in your heart, not to confront that person. At that time, he dared to harm you, he still wouldn’t be merciful now either. I’ll naturally investigate this matter thoroughly, just not right now. Can you understand my point?" Ye Ningwan said.

Wan Tianning bit her lip.

In an instant, memories surged.

His affection and the way he looked at her once made her think she was the happiest girl in the world.

Every time he picked her up from school, others would gaze enviously.

Now recalling, it was disturbing and utterly disgusting.

"Rest assured, I’m not that stupid. My current life came hard-fought, I wouldn’t ruin it easily."

Wan Tianning tightened her grip on her fists, and after saying this, she turned to leave again.

This time she left quickly, fearing Ye Ningwan might call her again.

And Ye Ningwan watched her leave and sighed almost silently.

She truly had grown up, still youthful and impetuous, but significantly more mature than many of her peers.
