Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
When the door was closed, only Ning Qing and his wife remained in the room. Ning Qing said, “Mrs. Kong, what about the one million dollar reward we agreed on beforehand?”
The rich wife took out a few cheques from the bag she was carrying. Ning Qing reached out to accept them happily.
But the rich wife’s hand shrank back, not allowing Ning Qing to receive it.
“What’s the meaning of this, Mrs. Kong?” Ning Qing’s dainty eyebrows knitted together.
“Miss Ning, don’t be nervous. I have no other intentions. This one million is yours.” The rich wife looked at the beautiful young face in front of her with hatred as she slowly raised her hand. The cheque floated in front of Ning Qing’s face before falling down to the carpet.
“You can squat down and pick it up now, hmph, seductress.” The rich wife scolded, as she stalked away in her high heels.
Seeing the rich wife had left, Ning Qing squatted down and reached for the cheque. She didn’t know what was the matter with that woman. She’d helped her, right?
A million dollars was clearly an amount that could be settled and given in the form of a cheque, but this woman had given her 10 $100000 cheques; she probably just wanted to humiliate her.
But Ning Qing would not be humiliated, she would not care about the term “seductress”, she’d earned money through her wisdom and labor, her conscience was clear.
This President Kong had started being friendly to her about a year ago. She’d never paid attention to him. Later, she heard about his family situation piece by piece. So last night, she had a sudden idea and asked Xiao Zhou to help her find him.
And unexpectedly, this thing was settled.
Ning Qing picked up the cheque and held it in her hands. She was so overwhelmed her eyes brimmed with tears. She’d finally raised enough money for the operation fees for her mother. Her mother was saved and would not leave her.
She was just about to take out her mobile phone to call Dr. Luo when Xu Junxi called.
What was Xu Junxi calling her for? She suddenly remembered that he had asked her to go and find him the night before. Hah, did he still want to buy her with a million dollars?
After picking up the phone, Xu Junxi’s gloomy voice sounded, “Ning Qing, did you go to a hotel with a man early in the morning? Which man were you with? Ning Qing, you’re really a cheap person. I’ve already promised to give you money at night. Why didn’t you come? Are you addicted to selling your body?”
Ning Qing’s dainty brows furrowed. There were quite a few people who’d gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today.
She smiled as she said, her voice clear and elegant. “What’s the matter, what does it matter to you, President Xu, if I’d become addicted to selling my body? Don’t act like a bitter woman. Your tone will make me think that you’re jealous just because I didn’t sell my body to you. Oh, by the way, I just don’t want to sell it to you, President Xu. Haha, what are you going to do?”
The party at the other end of the phone immediately went silent. Ning Qing could hear the man’s suppressed breathing clearly, one breath after another, nearly exploding.
After a long time, Xu Junxi gritted his teeth and said, “Ning Qing, you’d better not be unappreciative when I’m giving you face!”
Ning Qing stood up slowly with the cheque in her hand. She straightened her beautiful back, her eyes clear as she said in an absolute tone. “Xu Junxi, I didn’t want you to give me face, so don’t be so sentimental. Hurry up and take your cheap face back!”
“Oh, by the way, you asked me to go to your company the night before. I didn’t go and let you bed me. Are you angry about that? Hah, I’m so sorry, but even if I wanted to sell it to anyone, I’d have to be the one to choose who I wanted to sell it to. And didn’t Ning Zhenguo want to sell me and count the money? I’m sorry about that too, but I’ll have to count the money that I got from selling my body myself! ”
“Xu Junxi, you guys better listen clearly. From today on, you are nothing in my, Ning Qing’s, life. Don’t mess with me, and please just scram and leave to the end of the world!”
After saying all that, Ning Qing hung up.
She’d despaired of Ning Zhenguo, Xu Junxi, the two most important men in her life and waved goodbye to them in her heart.
In the future, she should protect her mother and live her life splendidly. She’d never waste her emotions on those scum again.
Ning Qing dialed Dr. Luo’s number as she went out. “Dr. Luo, I’ve already raised enough money for the operation fees, is mum about to go into the operating room? Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Ning Qing rushed out of the hotel and stood on the street waving and trying to flag down a taxi, but it was 9 a.m now, when the traffic was heavy. She’d waited for 10 minutes, but not a single car was willing to stop.
While she was waiting anxiously, a BMW stopped in front of her and the window of the BMW slid down. Ning Qing saw a familiar gentlemanly face.
It was Lu Shaoming’s secretary, Zhu Rui.
“Miss Ning, where are you going too in a hurry? I’ll get you there.”
Ning Qing had the same intention. Her mother was still waiting for her in the hospital so she just pulled the door open and said. “To XX Hospital, thank you very much, Secretary Zhu.”
…
In Emperor Entertainment Group.
Xu Junxi stood in front of the window overlooking the city with his arms on his hips. His chest fluctuated violently, his face was black as his jaws clamped down and flexed fiercely.
Never had he been so out of control. He was trying very hard to suppress himself. He was afraid that he would kill that woman. He wanted to die together with her.
She said that day that her market price was very high, her subtext was that she hadn’t sold her body, he’d believed her, he’d asked her to meet in the evening to give her a million dollars.
But she…
She’d asked him to scram!
Ning Yao stood behind Xu Junxi. She was very smug. Xu Junxi had indeed looked at the photos and then called Ning Qing to scold her for being “shameless”. His disgust for Ning Qing had increased.
But his temper was so hot that she could feel his violent panting, and he said on the phone that he wanted to meet Ning Qing to give her money the other night. She suddenly remembered the advice that his secretary had just said in her ear – – President Xu had been sleeping in the company for the past two nights and had not left even during the day.
She suddenly remembered that when she called these two days, he’d kept saying he was busy and couldn’t go on date with her. Had he been waiting for Ning Qing all that time?
Even if Ning Qing had broken his appointment the night before, he might not have called Ning Qing because of a man’s self respect, but he’d waited. Had he been waiting for Ning Qing to come all along?
Ning Yao’s eyes flashed. She was jealous and hated Ning Qing, but she was smart and did not show it. It was impossible for Xu Junxi and Ning Qing to be together. She should get his heart.
As she stepped forward, she took Xu Junxi’s big palm and entwined her fingers with his.
“Junxi, don’t be angry. Maybe you’ve misunderstood older sister. She’s not that kind of person.”
“She’s not that kind of person? She even admitted to selling her body herself, and she’s proud of it.” Xu Junxi growled and began to shake Ning Yao’s hand away.
“Ah…” Ning Yao cried out, staggering backward several steps, as she turned sideways and deliberately banged her forehead against the landing window.
“Yao Yao…” Xu Junxi’s pupils dilated. As he rushed forward and hugged Ning Yao’s delicate little body in his arms. He apologized, “Sorry, Yao Yao, it’s my fault! I was in a bad mood and I’d hurt you, is it painful?”
While he was speaking, Xu Junxi carefully lifted the bangs on her forehead. There was a pink scar on her widow’s peak, which she’d gotten three years ago while saving him.
Xu Junxi would feel guilty every time he saw the scar. It was a disfigurement to a beautiful girl. Ning Yao had been hiding it with a fringe all these years.
Ning Yao loves him wholeheartedly and was even willing to sacrifice her life.
Feeling the man caressing her scar with his fingertips heartachingly and pitifully, she quickly pushed his big palm away with her small hand gently and let go of her bangs.
She looked at Xu Junxi tenderly, innocently and strongly, tears sparkling in her eyes because of the accident just now. Junxi, I’m fine, as long as you’re not angry. You and older sister are both my relatives. I hope you are all well.”
She did not mention a word about scars and bruises, she was even afraid that he’d feel guilty and hastily put down her fringe, Xu Junxi was touched, as he held her face and kissed her gently.
“Yao Yao, don’t mention Ning Qing anymore. If she wants to fall, let her fall. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with her. Yao Yao, I’m sorry for just now. I love you.”
Since Ning Qing’s words were so absolute, he would not care whether she was dead or alive after that, that dirty woman, he disdained the thought of caring about her.
Only Ning Yao was his true love.
Ning Yao saw that the plan had succeeded, and had been confessed to by him. Her heart was filled with joy and sweetness, and the corners of her mouth lifted up sweetly.
…
After getting off the BMW and thanking Zhu Rui, Ning Qing dashed hurriedly into the hospital.
Dr. Luo, who was wearing a white coat, had been waiting outside the operating room. Ning Qing ran towards him and gasped, “Dr. Luo, where’s my mother, I’m going to pay now…”
Dr. Luo stopped Ning Qing’s movements, as he sighed solemnly.
“What’s wrong?” Ning Qing once again had an ominous feeling.
“Your mother’s condition is getting worse and worse and she has to be operated on today. We have already pushed her into the operating room. However, we’ve just learned that the kidney donor has a history of drug abuse and does not meet the requirements for donation, so…”
Ning Qing’s entire body was shaking as she listened, her ears were buzzing, her eyes vacant but stunned, “Dr. Luo, so what, I do not understand.”
Dr. Luo couldn’t bear to look at the girl’s eyes, which were on the verge of breaking down. “So that means that there’s no kidney, and we can’t have surgery today. It will take a long time to find a new kidney source. With your mother’s current situation, she can’t last for more than three days.”
