Chapter 12

Ning Sheng heard the sarcasm and looked up but she was displeased when she saw the people in front of her. It was obvious she did not want anything to do with these people.

“It’s really you, Ning Sheng. Long time no see.”

The woman who had spoken wore branded clothes and had exquisite makeup. When she looked at Ning Sheng, her eyes were filled with obvious disdain.

A man in a suit and leather shoes stood next to the woman. It was obvious seeing Ning Sheng had stunned him as he had an awkward expression when he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ning Sheng furrowed her brows, “I can’t be here?”

Ning Sheng had no intention to interact with the people in front of her. They disgust her.

It was An Qiao and Gu Zhi Qi.

When An Qiao heard what I said, she pretended to be considerate and walked over to Ning Sheng’s side. She wanted to hold her arm, but Ning Sheng had moved away. Embarrassed by what just happened, she pinched her throat in an uneasy manner and said, “Ning Sheng, look at you. You have not changed at all, still so poor. How are you going to be able to find a boyfriend like this? How can Zhi Qi and I be at ease?”

She said it as if she was a saint.

Gu Zhi Qi used to be her boyfriend but An Qiao snatched him away. An Qiao’s father was a business partner in a law firm and he could make Gu Zhi Qi a rich man just by marrying his daughter.

Ning Sheng was poor and had nothing to offer Gu Zhi Qi.

“Thank you for the concern. I’m already married.” Ning Sheng said lightly.

The best way to deal with people who deliberately tried to make their presence known was to ignore them.

“Oh, I heard. I heard that you married an old man. That old man is seriously ill? How could you be so gullible? If you marry him, you’ll be a widow and you’ll have to sacrifice your entire life’s happiness. Is it worth it?”

On the surface, An Qiao’s words seemed to be for Ning Sheng’s sake, but in reality, every word she said was a way to mock Ning Sheng.

She was mocking her for being so shameless and greedy towards money, for marrying an old man to have a sugar daddy.

Gu Zhi Qi didn’t say a word, but his expression was obvious. He felt that Ning Sheng was humiliating herself, and there was a sense of disappointment in his eyes.

“My husband is very handsome and outstanding.” Ning Sheng’s tone was certain.

She glanced at An Qiao and continued, “I should thank you. If you didn’t try to steal a man like Gu Zhi Qi away from me, I wouldn’t have met my husband.”

Her voice was soft and her words were sincere.

“You! Ning Sheng, I’m worried about you out of the kindness of my heart, and now you’re mocking me and Zhi Qi, saying that your husband is handsome and good-looking. He’s obviously a man who’s beyond cure, a dead man who’s about to step into his coffin. Stop saying things that will just come back to slap you in the face!”

An Qiao was filled with anger because of Ning Sheng’s words, emotions so visible it made?her beautiful face look a bit distorted.

She had always hated Ning Sheng. Her family was poor, and she had a greedy family to drag her down, but her grades were the top in school, and she was the most beautiful girl in school. Most importantly, she was with the man she loved.

She had spent so much effort to get Gu Zhi Qi, and she had wanted to rub some salt into Ning Sheng’s wound, but she didn’t expect Ning Sheng not to care at all.

But it does not matter! She was still married to an old man who was about to die!

“Zhi Qi, I’m just worried about Ning Sheng. Look at her, she’s so hostile to us,” she said, pretending to be pitiful.

“Ning Sheng is on another level now. Look at her, we cannot even show our concern.”?Gu Zhi Qi said coldly.
