Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 47.2
2:45 PM, Changbin Central Park.
Huo Jianan stepped out of the car, holding a cup of black coffee—pure Americano, without sugar or milk.
She told the driver, “You don’t need to follow me. I’m just going to sit in the park. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Understood, Young Miss.”
When Ruan Nianning arrived, she spotted Huo Jianan from afar, sitting on a bench in her wheelchair with her hands resting on her knees, a coffee cup in her grasp.
The weather was perfect, the sun bright and warm. At three o’clock, its rays slanted westward, casting gentle warmth across Huo Jianan’s pale face and her coat-clad figure. Against the harsh winter backdrop, her entire presence seemed softer and more vulnerable.
“You’re here,” Huo Jianan said softly, her voice tinged with barely concealed delight. She had seen Nianning from a distance.
On a winter weekday, the park was relatively deserted. Huo Jianan immediately spotted Ruan Nianning hurrying over, bundled up in a backpack, hat, mask, and scarf, her chin half-hidden beneath the fabric.
“Sorry I’m late,” Ruan Nianning said. It was already 3:30 PM.
Her flight had been delayed by nearly an hour. Even though she’d rushed straight here after landing, she was still half an hour later than their agreed meeting time.
“It’s fine,” Huo Jianan replied. “I was just getting some fresh air anyway.” She handed Ruan Nianning her coffee. “It’s a bit cold now, but take a break and have something to drink.”
Ruan Nianning paused, slightly taken aback. After rushing nonstop from the film set, she was indeed thirsty. She accepted the coffee. “Thank you.”
Sipping the coffee from the bench, she pulled down her mask slightly, took two small sips, paused, and spoke first.
“Don’t you find it strange that I asked to meet you here?”
“You must have something you want to ask me, and you thought home wasn’t a good place,” Huo Jianan said with a faint smile. “Here’s more open, and we don’t have to worry about eavesdroppers.”
Ruan Nianning paused again, then pulled her phone from her pocket and turned it off in front of her.
“Yes, I do have a question for you. For the past two days, I’ve been thinking about this nonstop, whether I’m eating, sleeping, or filming. I can barely focus on my acting anymore—I’m going crazy!”
Huo Jianan listened silently, already guessing what she wanted to ask.
“Ask me anything. If I know the answer, I’ll tell you.”
Ruan Nianning suddenly turned to face her, her gaze intense as she took a deep breath, as if steeling herself. “Huo Jianan… I don’t even know if I should still call you Huo Jianan. Who exactly are you?”
To reassure her, Ruan Nianning added, “I won’t tell anyone about this conversation. I just want to know the truth.”
The question was incisive and risky. She didn’t expect a straightforward answer. The other woman might fiercely conceal the truth or vehemently deny it. In any case, it shouldn’t be so easily confessed.
Yet Huo Jianan didn’t blink once.
“I’m also called Huo Jianan, but I’m not the Huo Family Young Miss Huo Jianan. I’m from another world—a transmigrator.”
Ruan Nianning froze, her heart skipping a beat. The color drained instantly from her face as her fingers tightened around the coffee cup.
Though not entirely unexpected, Ruan Nianning still found it hard to believe! Something straight out of a novel had actually happened to her!
“In that world, I was 25 years old, working diligently at a company where I performed well and was valued by my superiors. I’d just been promoted earlier this year. That day, I went out to meet a client with my boss, had one too many drinks, and when I woke up, I was here, on our wedding night.”
Ruan Nianning’s pupils widened as she recalled that night. Huo Jianan had insisted on climbing into bed herself but stumbled, hitting her head hard on the floor. When she woke up, she suddenly screamed in panic, “My legs!” It was as if she’d just learned she was paralyzed. Then she rejected my advances and demanded a divorce…
So, from that night on, Huo Jianan was no longer the same person.
In that fleeting moment, all of Huo Jianan’s subsequent strange behavior made sense.
“Then, what about Huo Jianan? Where did she go?”
“I don’t know. I have no idea where she went,” Huo Jianan admitted, sounding helpless. “All I know is that I’m using her body now.”
Ruan Nianning’s hand trembled violently as she held the coffee cup—no, her entire body trembled violently.
She wasn’t Huo Jianan anymore?! Her enemy’s daughter had been replaced; how could she even seek revenge now?
Should she continue using this Huo Jianan to destroy the Huo Corporation and drive Xu Weiyi to despair?
No! But she wasn’t Huo Jianan anymore, not her enemy’s daughter! She was a completely different person. A suffocating pain gripped Ruan Nianning’s heart, unbearable! She couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Huo Jianan watched silently as Ruan Nianning’s expression shifted rapidly. She could roughly guess the storm raging within Ruan Nianning’s mind.
“Nianning, there’s something I need to tell you. I know you married me solely to avenge your mother’s death.”
Ruan Nianning froze, as if struck by lightning. Her body stiffened, and she stared wide-eyed at Huo Jianan, too shocked to speak. “How… how do you know?”
Huo Jianan didn’t answer directly. “A daughter avenging her mother by enduring humiliation and marrying the daughter of her enemy—I understand that. But do you realize… you’ve been avenging the wrong person all along?”
With a clatter, the coffee cup in Ruan Nianning’s hand crashed onto the footpath. It tumbled several times before coming to a stop, its brown liquid spilling across the pavement and seeping into the grass by the roadside.
“Tell me, what exactly happened?” Ruan Nianning demanded, gripping Huo Jianan’s shoulders with near-desperate force. “What do you mean I took revenge on the wrong person? Didn’t Huo Zhujun kill my mother? Tell me! Just tell me!”
Ruan Nianning felt herself teetering on the brink of madness. Her exposed eyes burned crimson, her trembling fingers digging into Huo Jianan’s shoulders.
“Do you realize this world is based on a book I read? The protagonist was your close friend, Song Shiyu. Luo Bufei was the other female lead—she was the daughter of Song Shiyu’s aunt…”
Ruan Nianning listened in a daze, every word Huo Jianan spoke defying belief.
“You hated Huo Jianan, despised everything about her, couldn’t stand her Young Miss attitude or her near-obsessive need to control you. Yet for revenge, you still married her.”
Huo Jianan didn’t mention that after the wedding, she endured the intense loathing and disgust of being marked by the original body’s aura, all to make the original deeply infatuated with her, obedient to her every word, utterly subservient.
“You incited Huo Jianan to rebel against her grandmother, and even colluded…” Huo Jianan paused, refraining from mentioning “Sister Meng,” “…colluded with others to deceive her grandmother, using Huo Jianan’s hands to gradually destroy the Huo Corporation step by step. In the end, the Huo Corporation fell into the hands of others. After being exposed, her grandmother’s heart condition was triggered by anger, and she died before she could be saved.”
“You killed your greatest enemy and destroyed the Huo Corporation. Only then did you reveal the truth to Huo Jianan—that your marriage to her was all part of your revenge.”
Ruan Nianning’s lips trembled. She couldn’t believe someone would resort to such dirty, despicable, and unscrupulous methods, but for revenge, she might have truly done such things.
“What… what happened to her?” Ruan Nianning’s voice quivered.
“Her hopes shattered. She jumped from the Changbin Bridge and drowned herself in the river.”
A deafening silence filled Ruan Nianning’s mind, as if something had exploded inside her. Her face turned deathly pale.
Unnoticed, dusk had fallen, and the evening rush hour had arrived. The road before the park filled with cars, their horns blaring incessantly.
A chill seeped into the evening breeze.
After a long pause, Ruan Nianning’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “And what about me? What about this ruthless villain who stops at nothing? What was my fate?”
Huo Jianan struggled to meet her gaze, her eyes filled with deep regret and pity. “After realizing you’d taken revenge on the wrong person, you committed suicide.”
Ruan Nianning froze, a strange smile spreading across her pale face. “Good, very good. A ruthless woman like me deserves this end.”
She pointed at herself, accusing herself of her crimes. “I’m shameless! I sold my body for revenge, slept with the man I despise! I deceived and manipulated a disabled person for revenge, even though Mother Jiang’s death had nothing to do with her. I shamefully used her! And I’m stupid—I didn’t even realize I’d taken revenge on the wrong person!”
Ruan Nianning wept and laughed. “I sacrificed everything, ruined my life, only to take revenge on the wrong person. Isn’t that laughable? It’s hilarious!” Her laughter turned hysterical, tears streaming from her crimson eyes and soaking into her black mask.
Huo Jianan watched Ruan Nianning, who was teetering on the brink of collapse, her heart twisting in agony. She would rather Ruan Nianning stab herself than suffer this kind of torment. “Nianning, stop this. You don’t know you took revenge on the wrong person.”
“Does that mean I can justify manipulating others’ feelings and deceiving them?” Ruan Nianning glared at her, her bloodshot eyes welling with tears.
“Do you know I almost manipulated you too? I told you to acquire Soul! I told you to squander 40 billion, just to bleed the Huo Corporation dry and make you a laughingstock in the company! I never had good intentions, do you understand?”
“No, Nianning, didn’t you stop me too? Let me do things my way. You haven’t used me.”
“You fool! I used you, and you’re still defending me? I’m stupid, and you’re stupid too!”
“Nianning, don’t get upset. I know it’s hard to accept right now, but I know you’re a good person—a kind and strong girl.”
“No! I’m not good!” Ruan Nianning suddenly exploded, collapsing into tears. “I’m utterly wicked. I deserve to die!”
She turned and fled.
“Nianning!” Huo Jianan urgently reached out to grab her. Trapped in her wheelchair, she frantically grabbed at Nianning’s sleeve, but Nianning forcefully shook her off. Jianan’s fingertips slid past, catching only a corner of her scarf. With a sudden tug, Jianan tightened her grip on the scarf.
Without looking back, Ruan Nianning yanked the scarf off her neck.
“Nianning, where are you going? Don’t leave!”
Ruan Nianning fled, haphazardly wiping her tears. “Jianan, thank you for telling me this. Don’t come looking for me!”
“Nianning!” Huo Jianan urgently propelled her wheelchair after her.
“Don’t follow me!” A guttural roar tore from her throat, filled with anguish.
Huo Jianan stopped her wheelchair, the rest of her words catching in her throat.
In the twilight, Huo Jianan clutched the scarf in her hands, sitting motionless in her wheelchair, staring blankly as the distraught girl fled in a daze.
