Spring night kiss

My name is Chu Anning. When you hear this name, I am already on the way to the execution ground.

I remember that when I was very young, the Chu family was one of the most famous families in Ningcheng. My mother was a very decent and dignified woman. From the day she married my father, she had been doing her job conscientiously. Everything works.

Although I was very young, in my memory, I heard people say more than once that my mother was an excellent housekeeper.

My father loves my mother. In my impression, my mother has told me more than once that my father loves her very much.

I don't want to delve into whether my mother's words are true. These are not important. What is important is that my father cannot live without my mother.

My mother always told me that I should learn how to control the family behind a man. This is a skill that a girl like me must learn.

And I, I will become a famous wife, just like her.

I believe everything my mother says. I believe she is the wisest and best woman in the world.

On the eve of her death, her mother was still planning everything about the Chu family for her father. The mother said that all the honor and disgrace in her life were tied to her father, and the Chu family was everything to him.

At that time, my father cared less about my mother than before. Although he still loved her as much as before, he would come to see her every day.

This is always the happiest time of the day for my mother.

After her father left, she would hug me and say, An Ning, you see, as long as you make this man unable to leave you, you can be with him for the rest of your life.

So later, when I found out that my future husband was Zhou Yinghuai, the only son of the Zhou family, the largest family in Ningcheng, I thought I was worthy of my mother's teachings.

I will make an excellent wife.

Love and love are really too small for people of our background. What I care about has never been whether my husband has me in his heart.

I just need him to respect me, but I don't need him to love me.

I'm not stupid, I know what's most important to me.

My girlhood began to change after I found out that I was Zhou Yinghuai’s soon-to-be fiancée.

I began to put all my focus on how to become a qualified head and wife of the Zhou family.

To this end, I have learned a lot of lessons and suffered a lot.

But it doesn't matter, all of this is just what I must experience on the way to becoming Mrs. Zhou.

So I have no regrets and I am willing to make every effort for this.

Originally, there would be no changes in all this.

But one day, someone suddenly told me that there was a woman around Zhou Yinghuai.

That was Zhou Yinghuai. He was such an indifferent and aloof person. Would there be another woman by his side?

For the first time, I even felt that the person who came to tell me this was lying to me.

But I was still uneasy, so I gave up my studies abroad, deceived my father that everything was over, and hurriedly returned to China.

I had clearly done what my mother said, but this man's eyes did not fall on me.

When I met Jiang Tan for the first time, my first impression of her was that such a weak woman would never be able to establish a foothold in Ningcheng's upper class circles if she hadn't lived under Zhou Yinghuai's wings.

I am different from her. I have received a good education, I have a proud net worth, and I am the eldest lady of the Chu family.

She is inferior to me in every aspect.

But Zhou Yinghuai actually wanted to break off the engagement with me for her sake.

How could I allow this to happen?

I want this person to stay with me, no matter how despicable the means. Therefore, I designed it to let Jiang Tan see Zhou Yinghuai and I shopping together.

As expected, she was also a girl who couldn't hold her breath, so she broke up with Zhou Yinghuai that day.

Everything developed as I expected.

In fact, to be honest, I don't care about Jiang Tan, or even whether Zhou Yinghuai loves Jiang Tan or not. As the education I have always received tells me, love or not is really not that important.

It happened that Zhou Yinghuai wanted to break off our engagement with me because of her.

This is what I can't stand the most.

I was about to become an excellent girl in my mother's eyes. I would soon become my mother's pride. I would not allow anyone to break this beauty.

That's why Jiang Tan had to leave.

But Jiang Tan left, and my marriage with Zhou Yinghuai was completely shelved.

I don't know why he gave up our engagement, but I am not discouraged. I have become the best marriage partner he can find.

Jiang Tan has gone abroad, and Jiang Tan will never come back in this life. My victory will only be a matter of time.

However, Jiang Tan is back.

Why should she come back?

Just for the so-called self-esteem and pride? Does she want to stand in front of me and tell me she won?

With Zhou Yinghuai's love, she stood in an invincible position.

Jiang Tan wants to tell me that everything my mother told me is wrong. To be an excellent woman and have the most unbreakable marriage relationship will not let this man's heart stay for you. Only love can conquer everything.

For the first time, I was shaken by my mother's words.

So I caused a lot of trouble for them, even using my own body to pretend to be in a vegetative state, just to make my father hate Jiang Tan completely.

But how could Zhou Yinghuai accompany her at all costs?
Every effort I made just made me discover that there really is someone who doesn't need to work hard. She just needs to be herself to make everything I dream of come to nothing.

I suddenly realized how ridiculous this all was.

I lost completely.

But I am the eldest lady of the Chu family. Even if I lose spectacularly and completely tear everything apart, I don’t want to linger on.

I stood in the dock of the prison, looking at Jiang Tan's stunned eyes, and felt an unprecedented pleasure.

Jiang Tan, I did not lose to you after all.

I just lost to myself.

I, Chu Anning, am willing to die rather than be forced into a dead end by you.

I didn't lose to you.

The heavy snow in Ningcheng in winter fell like catkins, falling on the ground in a thick layer, covering all traces.

Jiang Tan sat by the fireplace in Mingyuan and looked at Xia Ning, who had a blank look in front of him.

Xia Ning's hand was very cold, Jiang Tan held her hand in his, and his voice was soothing: "Xia Ning, don't be afraid, Meng Yanxi will not find you here, you are safe now."

Xia Ning's eyes turned and fell on Jiang Tan, gradually gaining brilliance. She said, "Jiang Tan, I don't blame him. I just can't be entangled with him anymore. I want to have a new life."
