Chapter 5 (2/2)

Her mother’s rejection of him was not fake.

She even felt hate.

He clearly did not catch her parents’ eye, but they still married her to this “beast.”

Ning Qing smiled bitterly. Her chest was stifled and painful.

Her sad gaze was fixed on the car window. The scenery by the roadside flashed past quickly, and she could not see anything.

The taxi drove for about half an hour before the driver said, “Miss, it’s almost noon. It’s easy to get stuck in traffic ahead. Why don’t you get off here?”

Ning Qing looked over in a daze. A few seconds later, she agreed and paid before getting out of the car.

In a daze, she closed the car door and turned around, but her feet tripped on the stairs and she fell to her knees.

“Ah.”

The pain in her knees made Ning Qing’s eyes overflow with tears.

“Hey, let me see who this is. It’s broad daylight. Why are you kneeling on the street?”

A female voice exploded above her, filled with schadenfreude and deliberate mockery.

Ning Qing clenched her fists and looked up.

The slightly bright sunlight pierced Ning Qing’s eyes. She could not help but narrow her eyes and look at the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of her.

It was Su Yinuo.

This daughter of the Su family, who was loved by thousands, was her husband, Nian Lie’s childhood sweetheart.

She had learned before that the Su family and the Nian family were family friends. Su Yinuo’s grandfather wanted to marry her to Nian Lie, but unfortunately, Nian Lie married herself, and the marriage agreement was dropped.

She also knew that this Eldest Young Lady had loved Nian Lie since she was young. She knew that after Nian Lie married her, he had fought with the Nian family many times and ended up in a farce.

At this moment, she was looking at her with disdain and disgust.

Su Yinuo looked at Ning Qing’s face and covered her mouth. Surprise appeared on her exquisitely made-up face. “Oh, I knew it. I thought you looked like Ning Qing. I didn’t expect it to be really you!”

Ning Qing did not want to respond to such lousy acting.

Su Yinuo suddenly leaned down and said with concern, “Are you unhappy? Did you quarrel with Brother Lie? Don’t kneel on the ground anymore. Come, I’ll help you up.”

Ning Qing shook off her hand and looked at her coldly. “Don’t pretend in front of me. Disgusting.”

Su Yinuo retracted her hand, feeling extremely aggrieved.

“Sister, why are you saying that about me? I’m just concerned about you.”

Ning Qing sneered and was about to mock her when a familiar cold voice interrupted.

“How long are you going to kneel on the ground for?”
