Chapter 216 - You Still Have The Face To Act Young In Front Of Me
“Okay.” Lu Shaoming promised her.
Ning Qing smiled sweetly, then pounced on him and kissed him.
Lu Shaoming caught her and caressed her softly, bringing her towards his body. Then, placing her flat on the bed, he pressed against her and gave another French long kiss to her.
The two of them were out of breath when they separated. Ning Qing wanted to get up. “Shaoming, I will send you off.”
“No need, you lay on the bed to get more rest. Nurse your body back to health quickly.” The man used his hot gaze to lock her in deeply.
Ning Qing was totally shy. She did not know if his last sentence was meant the way she thought it was.
Lu Shaoming used the blanket to tuck her in. He could not bear to leave, and he kissed her forehead again after again. He stood up, got off of the bed, and left through the main doors of the Ning Residence.
…
After Xiao Zhou left, Ning Qing was busy with work, holding a pen in her hand. At this moment, the sound of high heel shoes rang in the air. She lifted her gaze to look and there was an uninvited guest, Zhou Zhilei.
Zhou Zhilei was dressed in a professional black and white outfit. She had a light purple vest. Her beautiful face had delicate light makeup on it. She stood with her high heels and walked with the elegance of a lady. She had a classy air of a corporate woman.
She stopped before Ning Qing’s desk and had a light smile. “Miss Ning, how are you?”
Ning Qing did not feel weird that she came. Since she was a guest, Ning Qing lifted her eyebrows, stood up slowly, and smiled. “Miss Zhou, how are you? Have a seat, what would you like to drink?” Zhou Zhilei looked at the small office and looked at the sofa full of newspapers. She curled up her lips lightly and said, “Miss Ning, this is your office?”
Ning Qing poured a glass of tap water for Zhou Zhilei. She looked at her desk that was stacked up with documents, and she said casually, “It is temporary. My office is still under renovation. Miss Zhou might think that it is messy here. I am a little busy today, and have yet to have time to tidy it up.”
Ning Qing handed the glass of plain water to Zhou Zhilei.
Zhou Zhilei did not reach out to receive it. She looked at Ning Qing directly in the eye and said, “Miss Ning, since I came here today, I will speak directly. I hope you can separate yourself from Brother Ming. How much money do you want? I will give you a blank check; you can write whatever you want on it. You can treat it as…alms from me.”
Alms?
Ning Qing did not think that this daughter of a wealthy family would speak with such vengeance from the moment she opened her mouth. Her words were hard to swallow.
Ning Qing had a plain expression while she placed the cup back on the desk. She turned around with her soft body lying on the desk and both arms around her chest, and she said with a languid tone and an easy smile, “Miss Zhou, what are talking about? Alms? Miss Zhou must know that I am still Lu Shaoming’s wife now. There is still the relationship of marriage between us. All of Lu Shaoming’s estate is shared as common property between husband and wife. Miss Zhou wants to compete with me using money. Heh, aren’t you overestimating your capabilities now?”
“You…” Zhou Zhilei’s expression went cold. This was her first time coming face to face with Ning Qing’s gift of the gab.
“Also, speaking of alms… Lu Shaoming, he is my man. He is my husband. You want me to leave him? Then shouldn’t Miss Zhou try begging me first? Beg me to give Lu Shaoming as alms to you? Maybe I could mull it over?”
Zhou Zhilei was furious and she could only laugh. “Heh, Miss Ning, so what if you are Brother Ming’s wife? Can you enter the big doors of the Lu family? Aunt likes me very much. During the trip to Finland, Aunt specially ordered me to seal the deal with Brother Ming.”
She wanted to use Song Yajing to pierce Ning Qing.
Ning Qing laughed coldly in her heart. Song Yajing, Zhou Zhilei – these two women were the standard labels of a wealthy family, but with everything they did, they did not show the elegance and poise of a woman of a family possessing great wealth.
“Oh?” Ning Qing raised her eyebrows and showed her interest as she asked, “Then did Miss Zhou actually seal the deal?”
Zhou Zhilei: “…”
Ning Qing clicked her lips together and laughed. “Look, even if you are prepared to give it all to him, Lu Shaoming would not seal the deal with you. I thought through this matter and it made me understand. No matter how close you hold onto my mother in law without letting go, it will not be of use unless you want to live your entire life alongside my mother in law. And as long as Lu Shaoming has me in his heart for a day, I will be family with my mother in law. I think you have hinted and said many bad things about me in front of my mother in law. It is of no use, and there will be a day when you will once again be an outsider!”
Zhou Zhilei could not maintain the poise of an educated lady of belonging to a wealthy family. She tightened her fingers into a fist and stared with wide eyes at Ning Qing. She was here to provoke Ning Qing, but she did not expect to be killed in a single second.
She always thought that she held on the power of taking the initiative, but after Ning Qing spoke, she was actually walking into a dead end.
That was right, no matter how outstanding she is, no matter how much others favor her, what use is it if Lu Shaoming does not like her?
“Miss Ning, don’t you think with your lowly family background that sticking around shamelessly around Brother Ming like this is very embarrassing behaviour?”
Ning Qing turned around and walked around the office desk to slowly take a seat on her own chair. She confidently smiled and said, “Embarrassing behaviour? Then what should I do? I still feel that Miss Zhou is unaware of honour and shame. You seduced someone else’s husband. This is shameless behaviour that ignores morals as a third party in a relationship! Also, don’t address Brother Ming as a ‘Brother’ and call him so intimately. You are older than me by a whole 5 years. Based on my age, I should address you as an older sister, and you still have the face to act young in front of me?
