Chapter 1459: The Unacceptable Blow

At this point, Ning Shuqian still had no idea that Wen Haowen, whom she thought was absolutely stupid, was no longer a puppet whom she could manipulate. Not only had he began suspecting her, but he had also kept his guard up against her after finding out how ambitious she was.

The fact that Xia Ruya was still in critical danger, made Ning Shuqian extremely worried because the funds for the entertainment city project had already been deposited and the project had also been temporarily terminated. She had begun focusing all of her attention on Xia Ruya in the past few days.

Of course, she had also been paying attention to Wen Haowen, though not as closely as before. She did not suspect anything even though he would sometimes spend the night away from home. Because she found out that he was extremely busy with the heirloom sales strategy.

She naively thought that Wen Haowen was really secretly paying attention to the heirloom sales strategy in a bid to make things hard for Wen Xinya.

However, she had no idea that Wen Haowen had already turned her into his target!

Of course, Ning Shuqian wouldn’t know that a major crisis had already landed on her.

Ever since Xia Ruya woke up that day, she suffered a major agitation which almost... Later on, Xia Ruya slipped into another comatose state for three days.

She was just like a mummy, lying motionlessly on the bed. If the machines did not display her cardiogram, Ning Shuqian would have thought that she was already dead!

Just as Ning Shuqian was getting ready to leave, Xia Ruya opened her eyes abruptly to reveal her grayish-black eyes which were dauntingly empty and soulless.

“Ruya, you...” Ning Shuqian shrieked in horror and she subconsciously staggered forwards.

Due to the fact that Xia Ruya had woken up all too suddenly in an insidious and supernatural manner, Ning Shuqian got a great shock and her heart began to pound rapidly while her blood froze.

She thought about the time when Xia Ruya came to three days ago and began struggling vigorously. She could not help but get the chills.

Xia Ruya turned to look at Ning Shuqian, whose eyes were gray and out of focus. When she stared at someone, she looked just like a venomous snake. She heard that snakes had emotionless eyes that were absolutely cold and terrifying.

That was what Xia Ruya’s eyes were like at this moment.

“Ru... Ruya, you’re awake!” Ning Shuqian swallowed some saliva, feeling like Xia Ruya was way too daunting at this moment. She did not wish to stay in the hospital ward any longer.

“What’s wrong with me?” Xia Ruya asked, staring at Ning Shuqian. Her voice was cold, hoarse and dry, sounding like a hissing venomous snake that was cold and venomous, with no emotions

Ning Shuqian turned pale and her body stiffened. She said in a shaky voice, “I... I’ll go get the doctor to come and see you.”

She dared not look at Xia Ruya straight in the eye or tell her the truth about her injury.

“What’s wrong with me?” Xia Ruya insisted, keeping her eyes fixed onto Ning Shuqian.

Throughout the past three days where she was in a comatose state, the memories of the car accident seemed to haunt her like a nightmare as the scenes replayed in her head over and over again, ruining her weak neurons and stimulating her brain while ripping her chest apart. She even dreamed of her body being exploded into bits.

The excruciating pain made her realize that it was not a fortunate thing for her to have survived the accident. In fact, it was absolutely horrifying.

She knew that her body would definitely be badly damaged.

Ning Shuqian said with trembling lips, “You... you’re alright. The doctor said that you must rest well.”

Ning Shuqian subconsciously shunned the pair of glassy and soulless eyes which were also bizarrely cold. She dared not make eye contact with Xia Ruya nor tell her about her injury. The doctor said that Xia Ruya could not be agitated further.

“Aunt Ning, don’t lie to me. I know I’m severely wounded and I can’t move at all. I’m aching from head to toe and I feel like I’m being roasted in an oven. I must have been in hell before I got into the accident.”

I must have been in hell!

Otherwise, why would it hurt so badly now?

Ning Shuqian’s heart wrenched up in misery and she murmured, “The doctor said that... 40% of the skin on your face is covered in burns while 70% of your body is affected. Your condition is very dangerous and your life is not out of danger yet even though you’ve regained consciousness.”

Ning Shuqian hurriedly looked away.

She knew that it was something that no woman could accept or tolerate. She read a news article today about a female megacelebrity from Harbor City, who was way past her glory, being accused of going under the knife because her features had become distorted after cancer treatment. She was berated and criticized by netizens, whose criticisms were awful and terrible.

Xia Ruya was not a normal person. She was the successor of the Li Family and a glorious socialite who was beautiful, exquisite and enjoyed a good reputation in the upper-class society of Harbor City. No one would be able to accept it if she were to get cosmetic surgery. Once the news of her getting injured in a car accident and going under the knife was exposed, she would be facing a terrible fate.

“Impossible...” She shrieked loudly, sounding like a metal weapon that possessed the power to torture someone. Xia Ruya laid on the bed with terror in her eyes.

The word “disfigured” was just like a huge bomb that landed on her brain, making it explode with a loud boom. She clutched the sheets tightly with her uninjured hand, thus revealing the bulging veins beneath her fair skin. Her blood seemed to be gushing through her and tormenting her.

“Give me the mirror!” Xia Ruya screamed.

“What?” asked Ning Shuqian, who did not hear her clearly.

“The mirror!” Xia Ruya screamed at the top of her voice, though her expression could not be seen because her face was covered by the bandages. However, she looked absolutely terrifying as her pale face cracked like broken china.

“Oh... mirror, mirror, I’ll give it to you now... ” Ning Shuqian was astounded and she subconsciously rummaged through her bag for a mirror, after which she handed it to her.

Staring at her face that was fully bandaged, only revealing her eyes, nose, lips, and head, Xia Ruya widened her eyes in shock with menace in her eyes that made her look like a demon.

The wider she opened her eyes, the more painful her head felt. All of a sudden, the sounds of hysterical laughter and screaming seemed to fill her head.

“Ah!!!”

There was a tinge of pain, melancholy, horror, and hopelessness in her voice...
