Chapter 13 - Gossip Queen (13) (2/2)

Li Shaonan walked forward and turned off the computer. Ning Keqing looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Tears immediately began to fall. “Mr. Li…”

Her voice was full of grievance and stubbornness, which made Li Shaonan distressed. He walked toward her and hugged her, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”

“Mr. Li, I’m sorry.” Ning Keqing clutched Li Shaonan’s clothes and cried quietly. “Because of me, they scolded you too. I’m sorry.”

Li Shaonan felt uncomfortable because of Ning Keqing’s crying. He tried to comfort her, but whatever he said, she still apologized all the time as if she didn’t hear anything.

Li Shaonan had to kiss Ning Keqing to stop her apologies in the end.

Things got out of control. Ning Keqing pretended to refuse, but they soon had sex.

It was funny. In her last life, Ning Keqing had stayed with Li Shaonan for a long time, but Li Shaonan only kissed her at most. Even when she made him extremely angry, he still just fondled her and never slept with her.

Tonight, some people didn’t sleep. Others slept very well.

Such as Ming Shu.

Aileen was still Ming Shu’s agent now. Since others called her to tell her they wanted to terminate their contracts or replace Ming Shu’s roles, she began to call Ming Shu constantly. At first she could get through, but after a while she found that Ming Shu had turned off her cell phone.

Before Ming Shu’s cell phone powered off, a message was sent to Aileen.

I’m going to rest. If there’s anything, tell me tomorrow.

Where is my knife? Aileen thought.

If she didn’t know that Ming Shu lived with the Jiang family, Aileen would go to see her, shake her, and ask what she had done to make Li Shaonan decide to blacklist her.

Although, just what she had done before was enough to warrant a ban from Li Shaonan.

…

The next day, the headline news was not Ning Keqing. Now it was about Ming Shu getting banned, which was obvious in every newspaper.

Ming Shu held the newspaper and sighed. Why were things so difficult that the female protagonist even made headlines?

“Niannian, what happened?” Mother Jiang pointed at the newspaper agitatedly. “Is it Li Shaonan? Does he still care about our Jiang family?”

“No.” He only cared about Ning Keqing and the high-ranking people in the world. He wouldn’t care about the Jiang family, which was only a stepping stone.

Mother Jiang patted the newspaper and looked at Jiang Xun, who was about to go out. ” Xun’er, you just stand by when you sister is bullied?

“Mom, Niannian told me she could handle it.” Jiang Xun kept his head down and voice low. He had asked Ming Shu last night, but Ming Shu told him she could handle it fine on her own.

“Just because she said no, you won’t help her?” Mother Jiang said, “No wonder you still don’t have a lover. I’m telling you, you must handle this. Our Niannian can’t be bullied by others.”

“…” Does this have anything to do with lovers?

Besides, Mom, who is it that disagreed with Niannian working in showbiz before?

“Before your dad comes back, this matter must be solved.” When he came back, he might argue with Niannian again. Niannian seldom returned home, she couldn’t leave because of her dad. Thinking that, Mother Jiang was extremely worried and smacked the table, saying loudly, “Xun’er, do you understand!”

Jiang Xun was speechless, but he didn’t show it on his face. He nodded. “I understand.”

“Mom…” Ming Shu said lowly.

“Don’t say that you don’t need help. We’re a family. You brother is here, Li Shaonan can’t do anything he wants. Don’t be afraid.”

Ming Shu smiled and lifted her empty bowl. “Mom, can I eat one more bowl of porridge?”

“…”
