Jiangg Ning had a million things bottled up inside her. She couldn't stop herself from wanting to confront her mother face-to-face.
But she'd locked the door from the inside earlier, so the knob didn't turn on her first try. Instead, because she was using so much force, a sharp pain shot through her wrist as the handle jammed.

What was done was done; confronting Jiangg Ruxue now would be pointless. Chen Yuan knew Ningning was seething with rage and felt so wronged she was on the verge of losing her mind.
Still, he comforted her in a soft voice.
He urged Jiangg Ning not to be so impulsive.
A single tear slid from the corner of Jiangg Ning's eye. Her initial struggles and furious demands for Chen Yuan to let her go gradually gave way to exhaustion, until she finally collapsed to the floor, her heart filled with anguish.
