Ning Qing said and the three faces in the ward instantly grew grave.

Ning Zhenguo looked at Li Meiling. For all these years, he had been utterly infatuated with her. It wasnt only because she served him well, but also because she was smooth and slick when she accompanied him to see his clients.

Ning Yao was stamping her foot in anger as she had always been proud of her. She then realized that her mom had fallen and she no longer had this reliable cornerstone in her life.

Li Meiling noticed the gaze from her husband and daughter; her heart dropped to the bottom of her chest.

She dedicated half her life to the two of them but theyve so easily forsaken her.

Ning Qing saw and she tucked her hair behind her ears. She looked at Ning Zhenguo and smiled. If you dont want to be accosted by the public and affect your personal image and your companys reputation, youd better keep Aunt Li at home for the rest of her life. No longer will she be able to attend social gatherings by your side. Hurry up and have your PR team choose another beauty to replace her. That one could go on business trips with you and share your burden.

Ning Qing intentionally sounded unsympathetic.

Ning Qing squinted her eyes and glanced coldly at her. She then elegantly turned around and left.

Dad, look at what sister just said Ning Yao quickly complained of unfairness on behalf of Li Meiling.

Shut up! Ning Zhenguo was agitated and he roared at Ning Yao, You as well. Youd better stay quiet for now. Dont even imagine trying anything with Young Master Lu. Hes not someone that you can associate with. Dont cause me any more trouble. I havent seen Xu Junxi for so long. You cant even take care of one man! So useless.

Before leaving the ward, Ning Zhenguo said, Mom is at home and she needs someone to take care of her. Im going home.

Ning Zhenguo left.

Ning Qing walked towards her room. She ran into a man who had just exited the elevator, Xu Junxi.

Xu Junxi came in a hurry. She could tell that he was there to visit Li Meiling and Ning Yao.

Their gazes met, CEO Xu Ning Qing greeted him with a sarcastic smile.

Xu Junxi saw her ingenuine smile and his face grew dim. Hed never imagined that she could be this hateful.

Humph! He left.

Ning Qing couldnt be bothered with him. The press release that day would be able to keep the four of them busy for quite some time. She could just wait and watch all the jokes and gossip unfold.

Ning Zhenguo left heartlessly. By that point, Li Meiling was really shedding tears out of anger. Ning Yao was upset too because Ning Zhenguos last sentence poked her wound.

Recently, Xu Junxis mom deliberately made it difficult for her. His mom prohibited Xu Junxi to go on dates with her, she didnt allow Xu Junxi to bring her to any social events, and she blatantly spoke to her in an unkind manner.

Xu Junxi was filial. He was in a difficult position, stuck between his mom and Ning Yao. He subconsciously distanced himself from her. She had to deal with his moms emotions while she simultaneously bearing his cold treatment.

As the pair of mother and daughter sat there in distress, the door was pushed open. Aunt, Yaoyao.

Ning Yao saw Xu Junxi enter and she immediately livened up. She ran towards Xu Junxi and stumbled into his embrace. She cried gently, Junxi, youre finally here. I thought youd be like everyone else. Making fun of me, giving me the cold shoulder. I thought you didnt want me anymore.

Xu Junxi rubbed Ning Yaos hair gently and said, Silly girl. Youre my fiance. Why would I abandon you?

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Ning Yaos face.

Junxi, Im okay. Thank you for coming. All of the bad things said at the press release were because of the mistakes I made when I was young. I was so rash because I love Zhenguo too much. However, all these things had nothing to do with Yaoyao. Shes innocent. Her affection towards you could be verified by God. You have to protect her.

Mm, Xu Junxi nodded solemnly and promised, Aunt, dont worry. I wont let what happened today affect Yaoyao. I will bring Yaoyao to some charity events over the next few days to foster a positive image of her.

Li Meiling heard and felt at ease. She gave Ning Yao a look. Yaoyao, werent you talking about Junxi earlier? Hes here now, go ahead and spend some time together.

Ning Yao blushed. Then, she held Xu Junxis hand and walked out.

The two of them walked along the corridor. Xu Junxi hugged Ning Qings shoulder while Ning Yao snuggled up to him, Junxi, is your mom still angry at me? If your mom were to still be angry, youd better not come and see me, although Ill miss you a lot.

And, I know that your mom doesnt like my background, but I couldnt choose the circumstances of my birth. Even though my mom had done wrong, she loves me; shes a good mother. I will love you more and more, and I will take action to win your moms acceptance and approval.

Xu Junxi kissed Ning Yaos face. He felt guilt and heartache. Yaoyao, youre such an understanding girl. My mom didnt know the good in you. As long as I persist, she will like you.

Ning Yao smiled. Exactly, no matter how much his mom dislikes her, she could get by as long as she held tightly onto the man.

Junxi, I heard my dad say that President Lu from Guangqing sent an invitation. They are having a dinner in three days. Its a pity that I couldnt go. My dad doesnt let my mother and I leave the house.

Xu Junxi heard the name President Lu and his body stiffened. In his head, there was an image of Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing getting intimate that night, and also Ning Qings lips were torn. There was darkness and jealousy in his eyes.

Who says youre not going? Youll be my date.

Really? Ning Yao stopped and cupped Xu Junxi face. She then kissed him.

Ever since Ning Yao came by, hed touched almost no other women. On top of that, he hadnt done anything intimate with Ning Yao for many days. Hence, the moment she kissed him, his body quickly reacted.

He closed his eyes and held the back of Ning Yaos head as he deepened the kiss.

Ning Yao embraced it as her heart raced and she blushed. Suddenly, there was someone walking through the corridor. She pushed his chest and said bashfully, Junxi, there are people around.

Xu Junxi naturally understood what she meant. She wanted to find somewhere more private.

He suddenly remembered that when he came across Ning Qing earlier, he saw Ning Qing entering one a certain room. His breathing became faster. He held Ning Yaos hand and brought her into the room next to Ning Qings.

The room wasnt locked.

Ning Qing was sleeping soundly as she suddenly heard loud movement next door. She could hear the bed rocking alongside a womans moan.

Junxi, softer

Ning Qing heard the voice. Seriously, its Ning Yao.

It was a matter of fate that she kept running into them. Even when they got busy, it happened to be next to her room.

They went on and on next door and they had no civility. Helplessly, Ning Qing sat up and knocked on the wall, Ning Yao, make more noise and Ill record it to post online. Ill make you the lady whom every man would think about.

Ning Yao seemed to be threatened and she stopped making noise, but Ning Qing could still hear the bed rock.

Ning Qing couldnt stand it anymore and she reprimanded, Xu Junxi, youre a pervert!

The man suddenly humphed and the silence finally resumed.

Ning Qing realized something. Xu Junxi provoked her so that he could hear her speak. The way she called his name must have made him excited. Then, he reached his climax.

Pfft!

Ning Qing was dying to spit on him. The man may very well be sick in his head.

Three days later, Guang Qings dinner

Ning Qing sent a message to Lu Shaoming before she entered the banquet hall: [What time will you be here?]

[Just got off the plane. About half an hour.] Lu Shaoming replied.

Ning Qing lifted the corners of her lip: [Ill wait for you.]

It was quiet for three seconds: [Save your first dance for me.]

Ning Qing blushed. Ever since they have first come to know each other, they had never danced together. In her head, she imagined his handsome figure on the stage in his shirt and slacks. Mm, an elegant person like him must be so charming when he dances.

[Mm!] Ning Qing agreed.

Ning Qing kept her phone and got out of the car. She then walked into the banquet hall.

Ning Qing was wearing a white evening gown, a simple yet elegant design. There was a deep V lace at the back of her evening gown. Her beautiful fair back was exposed indistinctly.

Her dress was a mermaid gown. The long tail of her dress was embellished with handmade white flowers and inlaid with brilliant platinum. It was simple yet exquisite.

Ning Qing appeared leisurely and she took the attention of the entire banquet hall.

Miss Ning, Miss Ning is here The media quickly took photos of her.

In the past three days, Street Walker had entered the last stage of its completion. Director Wang brought Ning Qing all over the country to promote the film. Her elegant demeanor and conversation style at the press releases won everyones praise. She earned her reputation as the no.1 socialite in T City again, and shed the fallen descriptor.

At the same time, Street Walkers trailers had been uploaded and her outstanding acting ability won everyones favor. On top of that, her winning battle at Li Meilings press release led her to the front line of the entertainment circle; people applauded her tough attitude and inspiring story.

Her Weibo fan count and Baidu searches continued to increase. She was leading the board far ahead of the four most famous female celebrities and became the latest and hottest female celebrity.

Ning Qing posed generously and let the media take photos of her.

Ning Qing. Xia Xiaofu ran over.

Xia Xiaofu wore in a purple long dress. Her long wavy hair which reached her waist was tied with a ribbon. She bore no other decorations, but had a spotlessly clear fairy aura.

She wasnt outshined when standing next to Ning Qing.

Xiaofu! Ning Qing held Xia Xiaofus hand happily.

Miss Xia, Miss Ning, its rare to see the two goddesses together. Please stand together and let us take a few more photos, a reporter requested.

Sure, the two of them posed generously. Their actions couldnt hide their sisterhood.

Then: CEO Xu, Miss Ning

Xu Junxi brought Ning Yao along.

Though Li Meiling was notorious for her actions, her charity work for the past twenty years had been exposed. Shed donated a total of six million to build over a hundred primary schools. The news stirred a commotion in the entertainment circle.

Li Meiling expressed to the media that she made a mistake because of romance. She did wrong and she didnt ask for forgiveness. However, she wished everything could end as she retired. She didnt want more people to get hurt nor did she want the scandal to drag down Ning Yao. Ning Yao was innocent.

Li Meiling successfully stopped it from getting any worse. At the same time, Xu Junxi joined forces with many online marketing companies to wash Ning Yaos name.

Ning Yao wasnt affected much from the incident. On the contrary, Xu Junxis chivalric defense of Ning Yao in public received praise and flattery.

When the two of them appeared, many reporters went forward to take photos. The incident showed Xu Junxi that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The two of them were in the limelight as well.

Sister Ning Yao saw Ning Qing and she quickly walked over to greet her.

Xu Junxi looked towards Ning Qing as well. He appeared shocked. He knew her for twenty years and it was his first time seeing her in such a beautiful dress. Her exquisite face was covered in light makeup and her beautiful smooth hair was combed to one side. She looked extremely charming.

His eyes quickly grew dim. It was Guang Qings banquet that night. Who was she trying to seduce, dressing herself up so nicely?

Ning Qing couldnt help but feel that Ning Yao was simply shameless. Three days ago at the press release, shed broken off their relationship. How dare she continue to put on a show?

Ning Yao wanted to hold her hand. Just as Ning Qing prepared to silently dodge this gesture, the purple figure turned slightly and blocked her.

Miss Ning, who are you calling your sister? Xia Xiaofu asked calmly.

Ning Yao has wanted to get to know the National Goddess for a long time. She was jealous that the Goddess was close to Ning Qing but then Xia Xiaofu took the initiative and spoke to her. She stuttered, Sister Xia, is it really you? I

Miss Ning, I dont deserve to be called sister by you, Xia Xiaofu cut Ning Yao off without hesitation. And, please stay away from Ning Qing if you have a sense of honor. You already descended from a beautiful swan to an ugly duckling. Who are you trying to shame? Please stop your scheming. It is not appealing to those of refined tastes!

Ning Qing, lets go, Xia Xiaofu said and she dragged Ning Qing along with her.

Ning Yaos face was burning. Xia Xiaofu insulted her in front of so many members of the media.

Xu Junxi walked forward and held Ning Yaos shoulder. Ning Yao immediately looked at him with her welled-up eyes and said pitifully, Junxi, Sister Xia, she

Xu Junxis face grew grave. Xia Xiaofu didnt give any face to Ning Yao, which meant that he hadnt gained any face either.

Then, a reporter said, CEO Xu, Miss Ning, our Goddess Xia has always been cold and elegant. She says what she thinks without much deliberation.

Cold and elegant?

Shes cold and elegant yet she protected Ning Qing.

Ning Yao watched Xia Xiaofu as she brought Ning Qing to a group of beautiful female celebrities. They were chatting delightedly. Ning Yao could recognize them. They of them were the four top national female celebrities.

Ning Yao didnt feel good.

Xu Junxi looked at Ning Qing unhappily. The friends that she had were all elegant beauties like Xia Xiaofu. She seemed to be very popular amongst the famous women.

He saw one of her interviews. The way she could carry a conversation was quite effective. She gave the media what they wanted, yet by her calm elegance, she didnt disgrace herself either.
