 Chapter 30: You Don't Need to Act So High and Mighty

On the other side, Ning Qing was dragged out of the old mansion by Nian Lian.

The man walked fast and angrily, and she stumbled behind him, unable to keep up.

"Nian Lian... Nian Lian, let me go!"

His grip was too strong, and she couldn't break free.

As they approached the car, Ning Qing suddenly felt dizzy and was pressed against the car door.

Nian Lian lowered his head, getting close to her and asked menacingly, "Who let you come to see her?"

Ning Qing felt his questioning was unfounded. "She sent someone to pick me up, and I didn't have a chance to refuse..."

His deep, dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Is it that you didn't have a chance, or you simply didn't want to refuse?"

Ning Qing frowned, looking at the face that doubted her, and a sense of powerlessness emerged in her heart.

In his eyes, right or wrong, she was always in the wrong.

She actually tried to argue with him...

Ning Qing suddenly pulled up the corners of her lips, her face turning cold. "Think what you want."

This attitude only increased Nian Lian's discomfort and repulsion.

"You don't need to act so high and mighty."

Ning Qing remained silent.

"A woman who thinks about divorcing me every day comes to see my mother. It can't be for the sake of building a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Nian Lian's eyes were filled with anger, and sarcasm poured out of his lips, making Ning Qing feel chilled.

Her expression was too indifferent.

In that moment, he was disgusted by her cold and indifferent appearance.

He forcefully grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Ning Qing, my mother just mentioned divorce. Can you honestly say you didn't feel a thing?"

Nian Lian noticed her momentary confusion, and his body was filled with coldness. His handsome face was full of malice and his narrow eyes flashed with a cold light.

He sneered, and pushed her away.

Ning Qing was caught off guard and tripped, falling to the ground.

The injury at her knee was still aching, she touched the wound and heard the sound of the door closing.

Inside the car, the man's cold voice sounded, "Go back to the company."

"But what about the Young Madam?" she asked.

"...," the man's eyes closed with no desire to continue the conversation.

Luzhi's face was tense. "Yes."

The car reversed direction and drove away from her as she watched.

Ning Qing clenched her fingers tightly and her stiff back collapsed at that moment. She lowered her head and everything became blurry.

Her dignity was once again trampled under his feet, shattered to pieces.

She painfully bit her white lips, slowly stood up from the ground.

Looking at her empty hands, Ning Qing weakly smiled.

Once again, she had no money and no phone. She never seemed to learn her lesson.

Looking ahead, Ning Qing took a glance back. The mansion in the sunlight appeared even more majestic and grand.

She turned around numbly and took a step, walking down the road.

Around the corner of the street, a black luxury car was parked inconspicuously.

A fragile figure of a woman moved slowly and painfully across from the car. A few tails appeared behind her, incongruously and slyly, making her feel disgusted.

Inside the car, in the dim shadow, the man's eyes flickered, his emotions difficult to read.

Between his slender fingers was an unlit cigarette.

Luzhi leaned over from the front seat and lit it for him.

"Young Master, do you want me to handle it?" he asked as the white smoke rose.

The man's eyebrows furrowed in a cold manner.

Through the car window, he could see the woman's figure about to disappear, followed closely by the tail.

After a while, a bitter taste filled his mouth.

In the rising mist, the man finally gave the order, "Follow them."
