Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 483: One Misstep Leads to Another

"I want to know why?" Ningwan said.

The mother she remembered was gentle and kind, always speaking softly and calmly, always patient. She could face anything with a smile, even when her aunt bullied them in the past, she would persuade her father not to dwell too much, saying that as long as the family was safe, everything would be fine.

So, she couldn’t understand why a person could change so much.

"What do you mean why?" Xiaowan said.

Ningwan said, "Why have you changed so much, like a different person entirely. You were once so gentle and kind, you were the one who told me to uphold our principles, to be..."

"Yes, I told you these things," Xiaowan interrupted her: "But so what? I did these things, and then what?"

At this point, Xiaowan let out a bitter laugh, closed her eyes as if recalling past events, and painfully said, "I was abandoned by my parents as a child, for a ridiculously absurd reason. Left in an orphanage, grew up lonely and isolated, I didn’t hate them, always comforted myself thinking my parents must have had their reasons. Growing up, I met a few people, especially your father. At that time, I thought everything was the best outcome. If I hadn’t been abandoned, how would I have met him? Those were truly happy times, meeting your father was the happiest thing in my life. The ancients often said accumulate good deeds, I thought maybe it’s because of my kindness that I was fortunate enough to encounter such happiness. What your father liked most was my kindness."

"Originally, we should have been a happy family, but everything was ruined when that woman appeared. Her appearance made me meet Yu Feng, and all my happiness vanished like smoke, all the beauty was like a dream."

"That woman..."

"Her name is also Tang Xiaowan, you should know who she is."

"Your twin sister."

Xiaowan sneered: "What twin sister, just a thief of my happiness. Because she was shameless, already had a boyfriend and still went to seduce and entice Yu Feng, she was chased down, came to me and gave me her child. Because of this, Yu Feng got to know me and developed feelings for me. I thought my kindness could change him, but it made him develop inappropriate thoughts. I thought my kindness was for you, so I adopted Ye Shao, but that woman schemed against me. I thought my kindness could make me friends with Fu Wenfang, but instead it aroused her jealousy and led to a disaster. Do you know? When your father died, my heart died too, everything turned to ashes."

"What good is kindness? My husband died, my daughter is scarred, everything fell apart. I was imprisoned by Yu Feng, initially wanted to die too, but then was brainwashed, forgot everything, lived like a walking corpse beside him, became his Mrs. Wan. Sometimes I wonder, if it weren’t for my so-called kindness, would all this not have happened? Your father wouldn’t have died, you wouldn’t have left me, ruined your life?"

"When did you come to your senses?" Ningwan asked again.

"When I gave birth to Tianci." Xiaowan replied softly: "Maybe too much time had passed, or maybe it was the heavy bleeding when I gave birth, almost lost my life. After having him, I regained my memory, remembered everything. But, I didn’t let anyone notice any difference, continued being Mrs. Wan. In truth, I want revenge, revenge for your father, for you."

"Did you know where I was then?" Ningwan asked.

Xiaowan nodded: "I sent people to inquire, knew that the Ye Family sent you to the countryside, though I also felt pain, I wanted to bring you back. But, what use would that have? First it would raise the Wan Family’s suspicion. Second, it would alarm the Ye Family. Moreover..."

"Moreover, I was disfigured, if I continued being a countryside girl, not meeting people, maybe that was happiness too, right?" Ningwan guessed her thoughts.

Xiaowan nodded: "You’re right, that’s exactly what I thought at the time. I not only wanted to take revenge on Yu Feng, but also on the Ye Family, on Fu Wenfang, so I could only let you stay in the countryside, slowly realize my goals first. However, I didn’t expect you would be one step ahead, destroy the Ye Family, and even find Philadelphia."

"You should have told me everything then, rather than keep making mistakes. You say you did it for father, for me, but you also had thoughts of killing me, didn’t you?" Ningwan said.

Xiaowan closed her eyes slightly: "Because at that time, I didn’t have a way back anymore. If I let you know the truth, you would despise me, hate me. Instead of that, I should have just, just been gone like your father was. I don’t understand, you were so timid and naïve as a child, why must you become so smart now, and insist on uncovering the truth, getting to the bottom of it, why? If you hadn’t come to find the truth, none of this would have happened, I would have followed my plan, avenged your father, destroyed the Wan Family, destroyed the Ye Family, then find you, take you to see your father."

"If you had come to find me after recovering your memory, I wouldn’t have despised you, I would have just felt sorry for you." Ningwan murmured.

Xiaowan laughed bitterly: "What meaning is there in saying these things now? Maybe this is good too, using Tianyi to take revenge on Yu Feng, I accomplished that, destroyed the Ye Family and Fu Wenfang, you accomplished that too, as mother and daughter, we’ve avenged your father, avenged our family. Now you know everything you wanted to know, leave! Never come to Philadelphia, don’t get involved in these things anymore. Actually, seeing you living so happily now, I’m truly glad, it’s worthy of your father. Just think that I’m dead with your father, don’t come see me anymore."

"Wan Tianning is coming too, she’ll be here tomorrow." Ningwan stood up.

Xiaowan’s expression changed slightly hearing another daughter’s name.

After a while she said softly: "She’s doing very well now, I know, this is also why I haven’t gone to find her over the years. She’s grown up, I don’t need to worry at all. Actually, there’s one more thing I want to ask you."

"Is it about Wan Tianci? I’m sorry, I can’t help with that. But Wan Tianning has gone to find him, she’s more willing to help take care of him, after all their relationship is closer than mine." Ningwan said.

Xiaowan nodded: "Yes, Tianning taking care of him is okay too."

"Wan Tianyi was sentenced to death, do you know about this?" Ningwan asked again. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xiaowan was startled, looked at her in surprise.

It seems she didn’t know.

Ningwan said: "If there’s anything you want to say to him, I can relay it for you. After this, perhaps there’s no chance to say it again."
