The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 898: 0887 I can’t either

She took a deep breath and continued, "I was weak as a child, and my mother passed away early, so I never really had friends. When Nan Jiaying entered the Nan family, she was already fifteen. She was outgoing and lively, and everyone in the family liked her, including me. She liked design, and I liked design too, so we often researched new collections of various brands, fashion magazines, watched fashion weeks and various runway shows together. Then we would create, exchange insights, draw design sketches, and submit them together. At that time, I truly regarded her as an older sister...

Until later, when we submitted to CE together, she was successfully selected, while my design draft was returned. After she joined CE, she rose steadily to become CE’s chief designer, and her status in the Nan family changed dramatically. The Nan family not only gave her a ten percent share, but even intended to cultivate her as the next heir. Around the same time, I discovered that my design draft was never returned by CE, but rather CE never received my design draft at all..."

Since then, there was no place for her, neither in the design circle nor in the Nan family.

"Didn’t you continue to submit to CE later?"

Nan Shuyun clenched her hands tightly, with a bitter smile on her face.

"I did, but..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Su Ran and Zhou Ziyi had already guessed the outcome.

Nan Jiaying had cut off her means of retreat from the beginning, so of course, she wouldn’t give her a chance to come back now.

As the chief designer of CE, intercepting a design draft is the simplest thing.

It was probably stopped by her before it even reached the door of CE.

Su Ran curled her lips, "Although your encounter is pitiful, for me, it is a fortunate thing."

Nan Shuyun looked up at her, somewhat puzzled.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows and smiled, "If you had joined CE, wouldn’t that have been my loss?"

Nan Shuyun was startled, feeling very touched.

When she first met Xiao Ran, she only thought she was nice and easy to get along with. Later, after witnessing her methods, she was impressed by her strength and ability.

Later still, she joined Qianran International, was given significant responsibilities, and not only had the opportunity for her works to be introduced to the world, but her designs also carried her own name.

Being trusted and confirmed by Xiao Ran like this, she was even more determined not to let her down.

Earlier, Nan Jiaying’s attitude and every word and expression she said was deeply engraved in her mind.

Clearly, she is the daughter of the Nan family, the only one with Nan family blood. How could she have no feelings when treated like this by her relatives? After all, she is just a mortal, with all seven emotions and six desires in her.

She originally thought she had accepted the fact of being abandoned by the family, aside from the initial sadness and pain, now, more was anger and unwillingness.

Nan Jiaying said that her network and status in the design circle and the resources she brought to the Nan family could not be compared.

This she could not deny, nor refute, but —

Better to bully an old man than a poor youth!

Can’t measure up now, doesn’t mean can’t measure up in the future! noveldrama

She has tasted the bitterness of being despised, abandoned, and humiliated; she vows to one day stand on top and make all those who looked down on her and abandoned her look up to her!

A waste abandoned by the family?

She will prove who the real waste is after all!

She, Nan Shuyun, is no worse than anyone else, and the Nan family absolutely cannot fall into the hands of an outsider!

Taking a deep breath, at this moment, all the gloom suppressed in her heart and the source of her inferiority disappeared, and she felt exceptionally relaxed, even the aura and temperament of her entire being changed.

Like being reborn!

She picked up the teacup on the table, solemnly said to Su Ran:

"Xiao Ran, thank you, I won’t let you down."

Su Ran looked at the girl’s brow with less tenderness, more firmness, and slightly raised her eyebrows.

Picking up her teacup, she clinked it lightly, smiling calmly.

"I don’t think you will."

This phrase, more reassuring than saying "I believe in you."

After the three finished eating, Nan Shuyun went to the front desk to settle the bill, and to this, Su Ran did not fight to pay.

She could see that Nan Shuyun genuinely wanted to treat her to the meal, not wanting to let her good intentions go to waste.

If she paid the bill, she might actually feel guilty!

As soon as the three of them exited the restaurant, they saw the man leaning against the car at the entrance.
