Chapter 246 - Warmth (2/2)

“Xiaofu.” Ning Qing held onto Xia Xiafu’s small hand and she shook her head slightly, indicating that Xia Xiafu should not have come over.

It was the Ou family’s charity gala tonight. No matter the status of Xiao Fu’s relations.h.i.+p with Ou Ze, her presence was awkward, and she should not have come.

Moreover Xiaofu’s parents were also part of the upper cla.s.s in T city. She was different from Yin Muchen who had started from scratch. The Xia family were also hesitant due to the power that the Lu and Zhou families had. Her standing by Ning Qing’s side today would put pressure on her own family.

“Xiaofu.” Ou Ze came over chasing after her, but Ou Ze stopped in his tracks and stood at Kong Lan’s side.

Ou Ze looked at Xia Xiaofu wanting to chide her. He waved over to her and said, “Xiaofu, come over here.”

Xia Xiaofu did not bother with him.

At this moment, Song Yajing knitted her brows and exclaimed, “Ou Ze, the relations.h.i.+p between the Ou and Lu families are good. What is going on? Isn’t that your fiancée standing on the opposite side?”

“Aunt, listen to me explain….”

“Madam Lu.” Xia Xiaofu interrupted Ou Ze and said, “How are you? I am Xia Xiaofu, but I am not Ou Ze’s fiancée; we have broken up.”

Everyone on the scene gasped. Those journalists who were looking for gossip found another piece of shocking news, and they all raised their cameras to take photos. Click click!

Xia Xiaofu ignored these people. She looked directly at Kong Lan and said, “Madam Zhou, when I entered the doors just now, I heard you saying these words, ‘honour and shame.’” Heh, this world has turned upside down now. Ning Qing is Young Master Lu’s wife. Your daughter is a third party in regards to the couple. She has kept herself single for 26 years; is that worthy of praise? I am really very sorry. I only think that she is very pitiful.

“Also, I do not know what both Madam Lu and Madam Zhou are doing here today. Are they kicking away the legal wife to support and officiate the third party?

“That’s right…” The nation’s G.o.ddess was not here before, and when she came, her words were so sharp. The elites and journalists all started to murmur among themselves, and the scene was out of control.

Kong Lan curled her fingers into a fist. Song Yajing’s expression was in a daze. “Miss Xia, you better not spout nonsense.”

“Xiaofu…” Xia Xiaofu’s parents were standing among the crowd, and they slightly shook their heads at Xiao Xiaofu.

Ning Qing knew that Song Yajing had given a warning sign. The warning had reached Xiaofu’s parents. She tugged on Xiaofu’s sleeve and said, “Xiaofu, don’t say anything else. Keep in mind that a disaster could happen because of your words…”

Xia Xiaofu’s almond shaped eyes were moist as she laughed and said, “Ning Qing, I know. You still do not want to ruin your relations.h.i.+p with your mother in law. If not for this, you would be exerting your usual dominance. The things that are not convenient for you to say, I will say them on your behalf. Don’t worry about my parents. If worse comes to worst, after Young Master Lu comes, you help me to ask him for a favour.” Xia Xiaofu cheekily winked.

Ning Qing knew that Xiaofu did not want her to feel pressured. That is why she said that. Her mind twisted. She quickly pressed against her chest and bent down to vomit.

“Ning Qing…”

Yin Shuiling and Xia Xiaofu came to pat her on the back. Xiao Xiaofu did not know she was pregnant. Yin Shuiling sighed and said loudly, “Ning Qing don’t be angry, if you hurt your body now what are you going to do? You are already 3 months pregnant. Don’t worry, the public knows justice. Someone wants to steal your husband, the father of your child. Young Master Lu would not let them succeed.”

“What? Pregnant?” The crowd burst out into chattering. The journalists did not b.u.mble about anymore, and they rushed to Ning Qing’s side.

“Director Ning, are you ok? You need to take care of your body. You need to know that your film City of Love is highly antic.i.p.ated by all. Your 70 million fans are all worried about your health with every pa.s.sing minute.”

“Yes, Director Ning, we all know your personality and difficulties. Doesn’t Director Ning have a famous saying? ‘Those who understand me know, those who don’t understand me, there is no need for them to understand.’”

Ning Qing was touched. When she was being harshly criticized, her two best friends were by her side, as well as those journalists who no longer feared those in power, and the fans who had always supported her. She was very satisfied.

But she did feel uncomfortable in her gut, as she vomited, she felt tears fall out of her eyes. Where was the man whom she needed most?

Once again, he was not by her side.

Song Yajing and Kong Lan were looking ultimately upset. On one side, there was warmth and care, and on this side, everyone had solemn expressions as they faced one another. It was cold and awkward. The people of upper cla.s.s society turned the gazes downwards, either due to fear or embarra.s.sment.

At this moment, Kong Lan unintentionally looked outside the door. Two people came in one after another. She was instantly jubilant instantly as she said, “Shaoming, Zhilei, you two are here!”

At this moment, everyone present turned the gazes over and looked towards the door.

Ning Qing was held up by her two best friends. She straightened her waist and turned her gaze to look at the door. A coy voice could be heard saying, “Brother Ming, wait for me.”

The handsome man briskly walked through the door, and Zhou Zhilei, who was behind him, had no time to brake. She crashed directly into the man. She immediately held onto the man’s left elbow and smiled blissfully, “Brother Shaoming, didn’t we promise to come together? How come you left me behind?”

Lu Shaoming did not have any expression. The moment he stepped through the doors, he started to comb through the 4 corners. He found the girl who was being held up a few metres away.

Ning Qing’s gaze collided with his.

“Shaoming, you are here!” Song Yajing and Kong Lan all went to their respective son and daughter’s side. Looking at it like this, they really seemed like a loving family.

“This…” The journalists on this side did not know what to say, and everyone carefully looked towards Ning Qing.
