She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1108: Coming to the Door

Today, Xu Mo came specifically for two reasons: first, to get to know Rebirth, and second, to change a name.

He thought the name ”Phoenix” was too ordinary and didn’t stand out; you couldn’t even guess the content before reading. If shown to Westerners, they wouldn’t understand the meaning of ”Phoenix” at all.

He said, ”I’m aiming to make this novel a world bestseller, and a name like this just won’t sell.”

Sheng Ning nodded in agreement. When she named it, she didn’t think much, only that it fit the General Union Dance Troupe’s requirements. As for Xu Mo’s ambition to make it a world bestseller, she believed he had that capability.

In the future, he had achieved it many times.

”So, you’re okay with changing the name?” Xu Mo was quite surprised, ”Aren’t authors usually very peculiar?”

”I’m not much of an author; you have the decision-making power for the name.”

”Alright, I’ll personally bring the trial book over once it’s ready.” Xu Mo got up to leave, and Sheng Ning saw him down to the stairs. There, they ran into Xing Fang, who smiled and greeted them.

”Sis, who was that?”

”Oh! He’s a friend of my uncle, came over to deliver some documents to me.”

”Oh!”

Xing Fang was fine in every other way, just a bit too much of a gossip. But Xu Mo’s attire was indeed too eye-catching, a black suit and slicked-back hair. Amidst a sea of khaki pants, his attention-grabbing rate was indeed high.

There were still guests at home, so Sheng Ning didn’t chat much with Xing Fang and just greeted her before heading back.

Xing Fang stood by the stairs, feeling a bit disappointed as she watched Sheng Ning’s back. She had initially thought with the Captain’s wife here, they’d get along and have fun together, but Sheng Ning’s attitude clearly showed she had no intention of mingling with the families in the courtyard.

Despite the courtyard seeming small, its social dynamics were quite complex, often the city folk sticking with city folk and rural ones with rural ones.

Before Sheng Ning arrived, everyone expected her to join their camp, and Xing Fang was the most confident in this, because she was familiar with Sheng Ning! But the result was disappointing.

Sheng Ning really seldom went out.

”Hello, could you tell me if Captain Xu’s house is here?”

A middle-aged woman’s voice interrupted Xing Fang’s thoughts. She turned around to see an elegantly dressed woman standing in front of her.

”Excuse me, who are you?”

”Hello, I’m Sheng Ning’s friend, here to see her for something.” Han Xiaoqiu hid her disdain and tried to appear amiable.

Xing Fang rolled her eyes; don’t think she didn’t catch the ridicule in her eyes.

Such a snobby person.

”I don’t know!” Even Sheng Ning had never looked at them like that, what a snob! ”Hmph!”

Xing Fang spat with disdain and turned away, head held high.

”So uncultured, truly uncultured.” Han Xiaoqiu was furious, but to maintain her stature as the president’s wife, she had to endure. Today, she wanted to see for herself how formidable the legendary Sheng Ning was.

Dong Shuhua had told her that the current Sheng Ning was the most influential figure in the entire noble family, deserving of everyone’s respect.

While pondering whom to ask, she suddenly saw a skinny girl dashing quickly down the stairs.

”Hey! Wait a minute.”

”What? Who are you?”

”Why are you speaking so rudely, girl? I’m just asking for directions.”

An’an replied grumpily, ”Is this how you ask for directions?”
