Chapter 9: Who's the Beauty?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Ningxuan extended her slender hand and slowly removed her veil.
The Ye family held their breaths, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
The juniors might not remember, but the elders still remembered her tragic state after the car accident.
Half of her face was bloody and terrifying. Even the doctor said that she was disfigured. Even if she had plastic surgery, she wouldn't recover.
Ye Xuan's looks were the best among the girls in the Ye family.
With a disfigured face like hers, she still dared to compete with Ye Xuan in terms of beauty?
She was embarrassing herself.
However, when Ye Ningxuan took off her veil, everyone was dumbfounded.
Her skin was as fair as snow, and her facial features were exquisite, like a lotus flower. She was so beautiful that one couldn't look away, but they didn't dare to look at her too much. They were afraid that their gazes would be too fiery and burn her milky skin.
Her rosy lips were as delicate as rose petals.
She sat there quietly like a plum blossom that bloomed quietly and elegantly in the quiet valley . No matter how many people were watching her, she seemed to be alone in the empty wilderness. Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with nonchalance, breeziness, nobleness and elegance.
"You… How is that possible?" Ye Xuan almost fainted.
She knew she had lost.
No matter how many people there were on her side, compared to such a face, she lost completely.
The other members of the Ye family also revealed various expressions. Some were surprised, some were stunned, and some were horrified!
She looked so much like her mother!
The elders of the Ye family looked at her as if they were seeing Tang Xiaowan again.
Li Meifeng couldn't sit still. She found it difficult to breathe and was about to stand up to leave when Old Master Ye stood up before her.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm going to get some rest."
Then he stood up shakily and walked away.
"How is that possible? How did your face heal?" the eldest aunt yelled back.
Back then, she had seen with her own eyes that half of her face was disfigured. But now, with her fair skin, it didn't seem like it was simply makeup.
Ye Ningxuan said indifferently, "I met a divine doctor in the countryside. He cured me with herbs."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Lin Yuyang asked anxiously.
If he had seen such a beautiful face earlier, he wouldn't have married Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glared at him angrily.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuyang didn't care about her gaze at all. His eyes were glued to Ye Ningxuan's face and couldn't move away at all.
Ye Ningxuan sneered. "If I had told you earlier, how could I have seen through your true colors?"
"So you were testing me. You…" Lin Yuyang's eyes were filled with regret.
"So what if you're beautiful? Mr. Zhan, you don't know, right? She had an affair with a driver on the way back to the city and lost her virginity long ago. She's just a promiscuous slut." Ye Xuan couldn't compare to Ye Ningxuan, so she insulted her in exasperation.
"Ye Henghui, is this how you raised your daughter?" Zhan Hanjue slammed the table and questioned Ye Henghui.
Ye Henghui trembled in fear and immediately stood up to slap his daughter.
"Dad?"
Ye Xuan covered her face in disbelief.
She had never been beaten since she was young.
"Ye Henghui, what are you doing?" Li Meifeng hugged her daughter and scolded Ye Henghui.
Eldest Aunt also complained, "Big Brother, how could you hit Xuan'er? Xuan'er is right. This is something that everyone knows."
"Ye Ningxuan is my wife. Who knows better than me whether she is innocent or not? If I hear such rumors again, I will make that person disappear from Jiang City forever." Zhan Hanjue stood up and pulled up Ye Ningxuan beside him while warning everyone coldly.
His face looked cold and stern. He was already imposing without being angry, let alone now.
The Ye family members trembled in fear. How could they have forgotten that this person was Zhan Hanjue?
What he said was by no means a threat. He really could do it.
"Let's go home," Zhan Hanjue said, putting his arm around Ye Nin's shoulders.
Ye Ningxuan said, "Okay."
However, after agreeing, she looked at Ye Xuan with a smile and reminded her, "Second Sister, don't forget to give me the jade pendant. If it's not convenient for you to give it to me, I'll send someone to get it."
"Hmph." Ye Xuan covered her face and snorted.
Zhan Hanjue put his arm around Ye Ningxuan and left.
As soon as the two of them left, the Ye family burst into an uproar and discussed Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue's appearance.
Ye Xuan cried and scolded her father, "I'm your daughter. How can you hit me for that wretched girl?"
Li Meifeng also refused to forgive him. "Ye Henghui, are you still thinking about that vixen? Seeing that she looks like that vixen, you hit my daughter? I'm not done with you."
"Shut up. Didn't you hear Zhan Hanjue say that the contract is up? If you want to renew it, Ye Ningxuan's approval is required. Do you know what will happen to Ye Corporation if we can't continue working with the Zhan family?" Ye Henghui roared in exasperation.
The Ye family members were arguing, but only one person was still sitting quietly in his seat, looking in the direction where Ye Ningxuan had left.
It was as if his entire soul had been taken away.
*******
"Thanks a lot!"
After getting into the car, Ye Ningxuan thanked Zhan Hanjue.
If not for Zhan Hanjue's help today, she wouldn't have won back the carved peony jade pendant so easily.
Zhan Hanjue had been forced by Old Madam Zhan to come over. He had no obligation to help her in the first place.
He didn't undermine her and was still willing to help. Ye Ningxuan wasn't an ungrateful person.
"Has the Ye family always treated you like this?" Zhan Hanjue's expression was serious.
Ye Ningxuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "Of course not. After I got into a car accident when I was six, the Ye family sent me back to the countryside. Like you, I'm not familiar with them."
"Since you're not close with them, don't come back here again," Zhan Hanjue said.
Ye Ningxuan nodded.
Even if he didn't say anything, she wouldn't have gone to the Ye family for no reason. It wasn't like she had nothing better to do.
Then the driver suddenly braked and the car lurched.
Ye Ningxuan and Zhan Hanjue had been sitting on opposite sides of the car.
However, because of the emergency brake, Ye Ningxuan couldn't help but lean to the right and roll into Zhan Hanjue's arms.
Zhan Hanjue was sitting steadily, but a soft thing suddenly bumped into his arms, making him subconsciously reach out to hug it.
Her soft figure was in his embrace. Under his hand, there was soft and smooth skin.
Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. She immediately struggled out of his arms and pushed his hand off her thigh.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
She definitely had no intention of throwing herself at him.
"What happened, Mr. Chen?" Zhan Hanjue snapped.
The driver, Mr. Chen, immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, sir. A car suddenly rushed over and almost hit us."
Zhan Hanjue frowned.
When Ye Ningxuan heard this, she quickly craned her neck and looked forward. She recalled that the car had indeed almost hit them.
But it didn't seem unintentional. It seemed deliberate.
"Did you offend someone?" Ye Ningxuan asked.
Zhan Hanjue snorted. "I'm afraid you've offended someone."
Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed.
Was that person from the Ye family?'
They were too fast. They had only left not long ago, but they couldn't wait to kill her!
