A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1762 - 399: Unintentional Mistake, Strong Spirit Despite Disability

Wrapped in a large red cloak, her body was covered meticulously, yet it made her small face appear even paler and thinner, almost emaciated, with deeply sunken eyes, invoking a sense of pity.

Suddenly, her gaze penetrated through layers of darkness, staring straight at Yun Ya.

What kind of eyes were those.

Deep and eerie, like an ancient well exuding a ghostly chill, occasionally flickering cold gleams as if thousands of silver needles pierced the skin simultaneously...

Though she smiled, there was not a hint of laughter in her eyes, only unfathomable darkness.

Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, slightly lifted her chin, and met her gaze.

The indifferent expression caused a crack in the opponent’s fortress, though it was quickly repaired.

Yun Ya lowered her eyes and smiled, thinking she had made some progress.

Lady Meng held Meng Junci’s hand and supported her step by step down from the second floor.

"Thank you all for coming to this ball. Since I fell ill, I haven’t been able to go out, naturally distancing myself from everyone. This is a chance to reconnect and I hope everyone enjoys the evening."

In Meng Junci’s delicate voice, there was a trace of pitiful vulnerability, easily invoking compassion. The boys present all looked at her with concern, while the girls offered words of comfort.

Yan Xing watched from afar, without any intention of going over to greet them, until Yun Ya nudged her reluctantly towards them.

"Auntie, cousin."

"Xingxing is here, isn’t this Miss Ji? Xingxing, you must take good care of Miss Ji, otherwise, if anything happens to her, how can I explain to Lady Yan?"

Lady Meng’s words made Yan Xing very uncomfortable, feeling there was an underlying meaning, but there was no time to dwell on it, "Of course."

Yun Ya gracefully walked over, greeting Lady Meng politely, her etiquette impeccable, just by looking, it was pleasing to the eye.

Lady Meng’s nails nearly pierced her palm within her sleeve, yet she managed a flawless smile, "It’s wonderful that Miss Ji could come, truly making my humble abode ablaze with glory..."

Yun Ya smiled faintly, her eyelashes slightly lowered, concealing the cold smile in her eyes.

"By the way, I didn’t know earlier that Miss Ji was Dr. Nyx. I was unaware of Mount Tai. I recall when Ah Ci’s attending doctor mentioned that only Dr. Nyx could heal Ah Ci’s arm. I tried so many connections to seek Dr. Nyx’s help, but was always refused. Had I known Miss Ji was Dr. Nyx, I would have shamelessly begged Nyx to save Ah Ci..."

Lady Meng’s words sparked widespread discussion, skeptical glances lingered on Yun Ya. If Lady Meng’s words were true, it implied that Ji Yunya intentionally didn’t save Meng Junci, revealing her as hypocritical despite her saintly demeanor in public.

"Mom, I think Miss Ji didn’t do it on purpose. Perhaps she didn’t know it was me, and besides, Miss Ji is so busy, she might not have had time for someone as insignificant as me. I guess it’s just my destiny..." As she finished, she feigned wiping away tears, truly pitiful.

"I deeply sympathize with Miss Meng’s ordeal, and seeing you strong enough to stand up, I am truly happy for you."

She diverted the topic without directly responding to Lady Meng and Meng Junci’s words.

Meng Junci secretly gritted her teeth, wanting to say more, but Lady Meng restrained her, gesturing for her to remain calm.

"Cousin, I am proud of you too, look at Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, Zhang Haidi, they’re all models of resilience. I believe cousin isn’t any less than them."

How could she compare her to those people? Meng Junci took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, her smile became even sweeter, "How can I compare with them? Xingxing, stop joking."

"Hehe, I’m not joking, I genuinely believe in cousin, I believe she can create her own legend, not yielding to fate, right?"

Yan Xing tilted her head, feigning innocence and cuteness, making Meng Junci want to tear her face apart.

That damn girl did it on purpose, seemingly praising while actually mocking, truly in cahoots with Ji Yunya.

"Alright, you sisters have a good chat, I’ll leave you young ones be." Lady Meng patted Meng Junci’s hand, instructed Huo Chanyi to take good care of Meng Junci, then turned to leave.

Before leaving, she cast a subtle glance at Ji Yunya, with a slight smirk.
