NovelEnglishChapter 297: Song Jingwan’s Changed
Armand bowed. “Father, I was wrong...”
“That man from the East is a demon that crawled out of hell. Your mistake is going to bring endless disasters upon the Gordons., my child.” Elder Gordon lowered his gaze and looked at the youth who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were calm and indifferent. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the head. “If necessary, I am going to abandon you to protect the family. Armand, I hope you can understand.”
Although Armand expected this, it was still despairing to hear.
But he did not have the courage to even lift his head. He looked down.
“Yes, Father, your decision is right.”
The Gordons were facing the risk of destruction.
The sleeping dragon had awoken and the unrest he brought with him was a reminder that the wealthy families should watch their people well. If they weren’t 100% confident, then they should not try to touch the dragon’s scales. After all, once angered, the fire from a dragon wasn’t something that most people could endure.

The family members all tried to escape. They had no choice but to abandon their wealth and status in Y Country in search of help from others.
“Sir, Elder Gordon’s been shot and his safe has been emptied out. Also, Armand is missing...”
That’s a story for later.
...
The cold wind swept outside the gates of Liyang High School.
“Song Yaoyao.”
A familiar yet annoying voice sounded beside her and Song Yaoyao lifted her gaze.
That was when she saw Song Jingwan who she hadn’t seen in several months. She was sitting in a wheelchair and she had lost a lot of weight. She was originally quite delicate, but now that her body was so skinny, her eyes looked particularly big and her pale face made her look slightly sick.
Song Yaoyao furrowed her brows. At first, she didn’t want to respond to her, but when she encountered her calm eyes, something seemed different.
“Let’s go sit in the milk tea store. It’s cold outside,” Song Jingwan said with a smile. Regardless of whether Song Yaoyao was following, she instructed someone to start pushing her.
“Why did she call out to you?”
Huo Ningxi furrowed his brows and his gaze fell upon Song Jingwan’s back. She was a lot skinnier and her clothes hung loosely; she barely had any meat on her body.
He parted his lips but he did not call out her name.
She seemed a lot quieter. When she saw him, she simply smiled and nodded. Unlike in the past, her eyes did not light up and she did not pounce at him.
As long as he was around, Song Jingwan’s gaze never wandered to another person.

Huo Ningxi suddenly felt a complex mix of emotions.
He understood that these feelings were due to his pride. When someone circled around him, he complained that they were annoying, but when they suddenly gave up, he felt a little disappointed.
Song Yaoyao shrugged and also headed into the milk tea store. Huo Ningxi did not follow.
“What would you like to drink?” Song Jingwan asked as she sat down.
“I already had breakfast, thanks.”
Song Yaoyao sat down opposite her and smiled with her chin raised.
Song Jingwan had clearly learned from her past. But...her change was too dramatic. She even had the temperament of a mature woman at times.
“I need to go to class. If you want to say something, then say it.”
Song Jingwan’s lips curved upwards. “Song Yaoyao, where’s Xu Yue?”
