 Chapter 7: Ning Qing, I really want to thank you for your generosity.

The wrong person wasn't her.

There was a faint anger on Nian Lian's face, as well as strong disappointment and disgust.

"You did something wrong and yet you're still so unrepentant, Ning Qing, you really have no remorse," she said.

Ning Qing trembled all over, and her eyes suddenly lost all color.

His words seemed to come and go.

In her ears, they turned into another sentence:

"You killed Ning Su and yet you live in this world so peacefully, Ning Qing, do you have no guilt or remorse? How can you live with yourself?"

Dazed, Ning Qing felt as if a blade had pierced through her, and the pain spread throughout her body.

She was like a dead person, cold all over and unable to move.

Tears blurred her vision, and Ning Qing couldn't see the two people in front of her clearly. She shook her lips unconsciously and said, "I'm sorry."

The sudden apology surprised Su Yinuo.

She looked at Ning Qing's pale face, then at Nian Lian, hesitated, and softly replied, "It's okay, sister. I didn't take it to heart."

But Ning Qing couldn't hear anything.

Su Yinuo exclaimed, pointing at her knee, "Sister, your leg is bleeding!"

Ning Qing suddenly came to her senses, and looked down at the wound.

Both knees had scraped skin, but the injury on the right was more severe. The flesh was exposed, and blood flowed down her slender calf.

"Brother Lian, sister's leg is injured, it must be very inconvenient. Why don't you send her back first, and we can meet up later?" Su Yinuo suggested.

"..."

Ning Qing pursed her lips, and a silent resistance was reflected on her pale face.

Su Yinuo shook Nian Lian's arm, acting like a spoiled child, "Brother Lian, please send sister back first, I beg you~"

The woman's voice was grating, and Ning Qing's face became ice-cold.

"It's not necessary."

The cajoling tone abruptly stopped.

Ning Qing had a blank expression on her face. "You can go play, don't worry about me."

"... "

Nian Lian's hand slowly tightened, his anger receding, leaving only a coldness that was untouchable.

He gazed at the disheveled woman before him, her deliberately straight back revealing her stubbornness and unyielding nature.

Nian Lian sneered with thin lips, his voice cool and sarcastic, "You really live up to your reputation, Ning Qing. I truly have to thank you for your generosity."

Ning Qing tried to maintain a relaxed expression, but her face suddenly froze.

The man lowered his gaze and spoke gently to the woman next to him, "Let's go."

"But what about Sister..." 

Nian Lian paused for a moment, a profound mockery appearing on his lips. "Madam Nian is considerate and sensible, and she won't mind such a trivial matter."

He emphasized the last two words, biting them heavily.

Su Yinuo had achieved her goal. Her face was filled with regret, but her tone revealed her happiness and satisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Sister. I can't do anything about Lian-ge's behavior. We'll leave now."

The two of them walked past Ning Qing and got into the car, leaving her behind.

Ning Qing touched her chest, feeling empty inside. The cold wind blew against her, causing her discomfort, though not physical pain.

Tears suddenly streamed down her face, catching her off guard.

She panicked and hastily wiped her face clean before limping to the roadside, hoping to hail a taxi and return home.

However, she waited for a long time but no empty taxi arrived.

Ning Qing smiled bitterly, as her feelings of disappointment and helplessness slowly consumed her heart.

It seemed as if the whole world had abandoned her.

She stood at the intersection for a long time before giving up and limping towards her place of residence.

But she hadn't walked far when a car stopped beside her.

Ning Qing was puzzled and paused in her tracks.

The car window rolled down, and Nian Lian's god-like face appeared before her.

His tone was still cold as he spoke in a commanding manner.

"Get in the car."

Ning Qing didn't know why he had returned, nor did she care about his motives. After all, just ten minutes ago, he had coldly watched another woman humiliate her.

She held her breath and replied, "I don't need your charity to accompany your Miss Su."
