She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1707: Chapter 1784: Jealous

Nobody knows Xu Qigang better than her. The first time she saw him in the Southern District, even when standing beside the Young Chairman, his aura remained undiminished.

A man so indifferent transformed into this just for Sheng Ning, a mere pretty face. She was unconvinced, utterly unconvinced.

Sheng Ning felt very uncomfortable under Qin Xue’s gaze; her eyes made her dislike and fear her. She knew that Qin Xue’s status was far beyond that of Qin Cuifen and Hai Lan.

So she bypassed her directly, ready to leave, but was unexpectedly grabbed by Qin Xue. Her strength was indeed formidable, no wonder she’s been on the battlefield.

But Sheng Ning was no pushover either. Using the grappling techniques she learned from Gu Yunbo, she swiftly twisted her wrist and easily evaded Qin Xue.

”I didn’t expect it; I’ve underestimated you. A pretty face knows a trick or two.” Qin Xue sneered.

Sheng Ning wasn’t taking it lying down, ”You’ve underestimated a lot. By the way, you call me a pretty face because you’re jealous of my beauty, right?” She finished, deliberately sizing her up mockingly, making Qin Xue’s anger boil.

”Showing off will only make people look down on you.” She sincerely despised Sheng Ning, believing that apart from her looks, she had no other merits.

Such a woman is entirely unworthy of Xu Qigang; if it were someone better than herself, perhaps she could accept it, perhaps even genuinely wish them well.

But Sheng Ning’s true face had long been seen through by her.

”Are you talking about yourself or your sister?” With a cold snort, she continued, ”Your younger brother is already struggling, yet you still have the mood to spar with a rival. You truly are something.”

The word ’rival’ seemed to hit Qin Xue’s weakest nerve. Her face turned slightly pale, biting her lip hard, unexpectedly appearing somewhat fragile.

Sheng Ning rubbed her eyes; truly unbelievable, she had long learned the ways of the women from the Qin Family. Qin Xue, as Qin Shuang’s elder sister, was much more formidable than Qin Shuang.

”Rival...” Qin Xue murmured, not even daring to acknowledge the word ’rival.’ Because Xu Qigang didn’t acknowledge, he never even gave her the chance to be rejected.

”Xu Qigang is back; I’m going to pick him up. Only a woman like me is qualified to stand by his side.” After saying that, Qin Xue turned and got into the car, the jeep roaring past Sheng Ning, quickly disappearing at the intersection.

Sheng Ning stood there, squinting her eyes with a certain expression, but those who knew her would understand that she was surely angry.

Very, very angry.

She’s going to pick him up? What right does she have to pick him up? What makes her qualified to pick him up?

Enraged, Sheng Ning decided not to go to the General Union Dance Troupe and instead ran to the reception room to make a phone call. Fortunately, the old man in the reception room hadn’t been changed; seeing Sheng Ning, he was amazed and delighted. Hearing her request to make a call, he agreed without hesitation.

This time she didn’t call Su Jiang but took the call to Su Hai, and on answering, it was Sun Gan’s voice; hearing it was her, he immediately transferred it to Su Hai’s office.

”You’re back? You really left the children back home?” Su Hai’s voice sounded weary, hoarse, reaching the heart, as if he hadn’t slept for days.

Su Hai was serious in opposing sending the two children to their grandparents’ home, yet unfortunately, his opposition was futile; no one listened to him.

Having long known Uncle Fox’s charm, Sheng Ning straightforwardly said, ”Why let Qin Xue go pick up the Living Yama? Who arranged this?”

It’s so infuriating.

”Hahaha...” Su Hai laughed over the phone, sounding quite delighted, ”So Ningning, are you jealous?”
