Chapter 372 - Tit for Tat! (2/2)
Ning Shuqian had completely given up hope. There were no signs of pregnancy at all throughout the fifteen years that she had been married to Wen Haowen. How could there be a chance of her conceiving?
Lin Mengxue continued, “Shuqian, I know of an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioner. You may consult him and try taking some Traditional Chinese Medicine. Once combined with ovulation jabs and artificial insemination treatments, there’s still a chance of you conceiving.”
“You’re right. As long as there’s hope, I can’t give up.” Now that Old Mrs. Wen was keeping close tabs on her every single day, she had no choice but to go along with her idea of continuing with the ovulation jabs. She had also made Wen Haowen collect his sperms for freezing.
At this moment, Ning Shuqian’s mobile phone began to ring again and the loud, crisp sounds of her ringtone filled the air in the quiet office.
Seeing that she was refusing to answer the phone, Lin Mengxue asked, “Shuqian, your mobile phone keeps ringing. Why aren’t you answering it? Perhaps it’s something important?”
Ning Shuqian took a look at the caller display before saying nonchalantly, “It’s Shen Mengting. I only decided to help her and her mother back then because I took pity on them. Shen Mengting’s mother is ill and I used to know her, too. Hence, I decided to help them. Yet, that Shen Mengting was so greedy, asking me for money almost every other day. She even used my money to buy drugs. I ended up looking bad. I bet she’s calling me to ask me for money again.”
“Turns out this was what happened! It doesn’t pay to be kind nowadays,” said Lin Mengxue, who had read all the news reports about Ning Shuqian and Shen Mengting. She thought to herself that Shen Mengting must be a drug addict and hence, decided to believe Ning Shuqian’s words.
Ning Shuqian sighed and said, “Exactly. I didn’t expect Shen Mengting to be such a person. I’ve really done the best I could for the two of them. I won’t take pity on them again if she keeps pestering me.”
Lin Mengxue nodded and remarked. “She’s already become a drug addict despite being so young. People like her don’t deserve your help.”
Ning Shuqian said, “I really take pity on her mother, Zhang Zhen, who was diagnosed with such a terrible disease. Who knows how much longer she has left to live? It makes me so upset to think about her condition.”
Ning Shuqian’s mobile phone continued to ring endlessly. Just as she was about to block Shen Mengting’s number, the latter sent her a message which read: “Ning Shuqian, my mother is going through an emergency rescue in the hospital now. If you don’t help me save her, I’ll expose the matter about you instigating me to make Wen Xinya become a drug addict to the media. t.i.t for Tat!”
Ning Shuqian grimaced but soon got a grip on her emotions. “Mengxue, I have something important to attend to now. Call me if anything happens.”
After leaving the office, Ning Shuqian’s face grew sullen. Ever since Shen Mengting failed at a.s.sa.s.sinating Wen Xinya, she vanished out of sight. To Ning Shuqian’s surprise, she actually popped up again.
Who knew what Shen Mengting might do?
A menacing gaze formed in Ning Shuqian’s eyes. Shen Mengting did not pose a threat to her at all. She thought, if Shen Mengting doesn’t know any better, I won’t let her off easily.
