If she didn’t work, she would starve, so for survival, the second Miss Ning had to swallow her pride. With no work experience, she couldn’t enter big companies, nor did she dare to, fearing discovery, so she joined this hotel, working as a waiter in the restaurant on the second floor. She no longer dared to be as arrogant or flamboyant as before, keeping a low profile, working diligently during her shifts, and returning to her rented flat after work, getting along well with her colleagues. No one could imagine she was once the second Miss Ning, a pampered daughter of privilege.
Seeing her younger brother dining with Li Nuo, Ning Siqi longed to reunite with him but didn’t dare. She feared that if she revealed herself to her brother, her elder sister would find out. Her hatred for Ning Yunchu and Haitong had lessened over the six years. Perhaps because she was older, more mature, and had been through so much, she reflected, was her current situation really Ning Yunchu and Haitong’s fault? No, it was her own. In the past, spoiled by her parents, she was reckless, arrogant, and looked down on everyone, offending those she shouldn’t have. She hurt Ning Yunchu the most, and deeply, so it was natural for Ning Yunchu to retaliate. Strictly speaking, Ning Yunchu didn’t really retaliate much. She only barred her from living in the Ning family villa, froze her bank card, and stopped giving her pocket money, but beyond that, did nothing else, at least never hit her. It was her own unwillingness to accept this, blinded by hatred, always seeking revenge against Ning Yunchu and Haitong, believing that if Haitong hadn’t meddled, Ning Yunchu wouldn’t have risen, and she wouldn’t have offended Zhan Yin. Without offending Zhan Yin, her parents’ crimes might not have been exposed. Her parents wouldn’t have tried to kidnap Yangyang to vent her anger, accidentally injuring Hailing and deepening their feud with Haitong. Ultimately, it was all her fault. One wrong step led to every step being wrong, causing her to be targeted by Mr. Long, used and toyed with, resulting in her current state.
Six years ago, when she fled Dongguan with the money, she could have lived a stable, comfortable life, but she couldn’t change her extravagant spending habits. In the end, she was reduced to being an ordinary waiter here, earning a few thousand yuan a month. There was a sense of loss. She once lived in paradise, but compared to her past, her current life was like hell. Having been back for some time and working for two months, Ning Siqi’s heart had calmed considerably. Hearing that her brother was still looking for her, she felt somewhat touched. At least someone still cared about her.
Six years on, her brother had matured greatly. From colleagues, Ning Siqi learned that her elder sister had handed over the family assets meant for her and her brother to him. The Ning enterprise had been split in two. Ning Yunchu managed her business, the former Ning enterprise now under a new name, which, under her leadership, had grown into a company worth billions. Her brother’s company, however, hadn’t changed much, with only a slight increase in assets, not as impressive as Ning Yunchu’s. With the Zhan family backing her, Ning Yunchu’s company had business dealings with the Zhan family, and even without other factors, just aligning with them ensured her company’s success.
Did she regret it? Ning Siqi did. She regretted being so cruel in the past, always bullying her sister. She regretted that, even after her reformation, she didn’t recognise her mistakes and kept seeking revenge, sinking further. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. Her life would continue like this.
