The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1295 - 655: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Her Parents Have Really Passed Away

Ning Wan hadn’t pulled back her hand yet. Just as Ning Yan’er was speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Ning Yan’er hard across the face.

She didn’t hold back at all, using all her strength, and with the force of the slap, Ning Yan’er staggered to the side, catching herself against the wall.

"Yan’er..." Ning Yan’er’s mother screamed, quickly rushing to Yan’er’s side, looking at her with concern. Seeing the clear handprint on Ning Yan’er’s face, anger boiled up inside her. She turned to Ning Wan, her eyes full of rage as if she wanted to swallow her whole, her voice sharp and piercing, "Ning Wan, how dare you hit my daughter? Who gave you the courage to slap her? You’re out of line."

Yet Ning Wan was unafraid, meeting Ning Yan’er’s mother’s gaze directly, speaking each word clearly, "Your daughter deserved it. She spoke without thinking."

Hearing Ning Wan’s words, Ning Yan’er’s mother was so angry she almost lunged at Ning Wan, but when her eyes landed on Ning Wan, she stopped in her tracks.

Ning Yan’er’s father’s expression was also unpleasant. After all, his cherished daughter had been slapped by his niece. But he couldn’t do anything to Ning Wan, or there would surely be negative repercussions. So, he stood there with a gloomy face but straightened when he saw who was behind Ning Wan, greeting respectfully, "Lawyer Xu... what brings you here?"

Lawyer Xu, in an elegant suit, appeared to be in his late forties or early fifties.

Lawyer Xu glanced at Ning Wan standing still, then at Ning Yan’er who was clutching her face and glaring at Ning Wan. He spoke calmly, "Mr. Ning, you should take Miss Ning to see a doctor first."

Mr. Ning’s eyes fell on his daughter. Given the suggestion, he couldn’t refuse. Nodding, he said, "Then I’ll take my daughter to see a doctor. As for Xiao Wan... I’ll leave her in your capable hands, Lawyer Xu."

Lawyer Xu nodded in agreement.

Ning Yan’er didn’t want to leave. She wanted to settle the score with Ning Wan. This little wench dared to hit her when she had been pampered by her parents all her life and had never been struck before.

How could she swallow this humiliation?

But seeing Lawyer Xu, she dared not act rashly. She could easily press charges against Ning Wan, but she was aware that Lawyer Xu treated Ning Wan almost like a daughter.

Because Ning Wan’s father had once saved Lawyer Xu’s daughter.

After Ning Yan’er and her parents left, Lawyer Xu turned to Ning Wan, "Xiao Wan..."

Ning Wan, who hadn’t cried before, suddenly started to shed tears. They ran down her face and dripped to the floor. She kept her head down, not looking at Lawyer Xu beside her, but instead staring at the floor as she spoke, "Uncle Xu, are my parents really gone?"

Up to this point, she couldn’t believe it, even suspecting it was a cruel joke and that she’d see her parents when she returned home tonight.

But Ning Yan’er’s words forced her to confront reality.

Lawyer Xu looked at Ning Wan with a mix of sympathy and sadness, he couldn’t help but sigh, gently rubbing her head, "Xiao Wan, my condolences. Your parents have truly left us."

Ning Wan couldn’t control her emotions anymore, crying even harder. She looked up at Lawyer He and asked, "Where are they?"

Lawyer Xu feared Ning Wan might not be able to handle it, so he softly said, "Xiao Wan, maybe it’s better not to go. Okay?"

Ning Wan shook her head, crying as she spoke, "Uncle Xu, I want to see my parents. I... I want to say goodbye properly... I want to talk to them, Uncle He... I’m begging you, please tell me where my parents are, okay?"

Ning Wan felt immense pain in her heart, almost to the point of collapse.

Her parents were really gone...

She didn’t want to believe Ning Yan’er’s parents, but she had to face the truth with Lawyer Xu’s words.

The happiness she once felt crumbled in an instant, and she felt like a lost child unable to find her way home.

She also sensed a dark future ahead, devoid of light.

Because... the people who loved her most in this world, who doted on her, were gone...

How could they bear to leave... to leave their daughter?

...

Xi Mohan learned about Ning Wan’s parents’ accidental death through the news reports.

The Ning Family was considered a prominent family in An City, and the Ning Group was one of the more renowned conglomerates in the country. So, when the CEO of the Ning Group, Ning Wan’s father, had an accident, the media reported it immediately.

Holding his phone, the man read the news on his device, his expression changing to one of displeasure. After finishing the article, he didn’t remain seated but stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked straight out of his office.

Just then, his assistant emerged from his own office, and upon seeing Xi Mohan, immediately called out respectfully, "President."

Xi Mohan halted his steps, asking the assistant, "Where is Ning Wan right now?"

The assistant, momentarily confused, stammered a bit.

Xi Mohan’s demeanor darkened as he asked again, "I asked you, do you know where Ning Wan is right now?"

The assistant quickly regained composure and replied, "Second Lady Ning should be at the First People’s Hospital right now. After the accident with the Ning Group CEO and his wife, they were taken directly to the First People’s Hospital, so..."

Before he could finish, Xi Mohan had already briskly walked towards the elevator, his lips tightly pressed together and his expression not looking good.

Just as he reached the elevator and pressed the button, his phone rang in his pocket. Xi Mohan took it out to find it was a call from home.

His eyes deepened as he indifferently answered the call, placing it to his ear. Before he could speak, the voice on the other end had already started, "Mo Han, where are you now?"
