nHuo Beichen was the kid who was always praised and talked about among the privileged and rich people.

nZhen Shanmei and the others had grown up admiring him.

nHe was generous, so surely his gift would not be cheap.

n

n

nZhen Shanmei was stunned when she realized that.

nWhen had she become such a money-grubber like Ning Meng?

nNow, she was even picking something out from the dustbin.

nIndeed, similar people would get together.

n

n

nZhen Shanmei was so angry that she almost threw the gift box back into the dustbin. She scanned it casually and saw the price tag which had not been removed from the gift box. It was worth 2.19 million!

nZhen Shanmei was speechless.

nIt was much more expensive than all of the bags she had bought for Ning Meng.

nShe was hesitant for a short while, but she still took it and walked toward Ning Meng. “Here you are.”

n

n

nNing Meng was still agitated and immediately said, “I don’t want it!”

nShe pointed at the lift, her eyes red and swollen. She shouted, “Did you see that? It was he who cheated on me! But how could he act as though he was the one who was right? Why did he throw away the gift? Did he think that I would be upset if he threw it into the dustbin? No! He spent his own money on that, not mine!”

nAfter saying that, she turned around in a fury. She continued, “Do whatever you want with the gift! If I take it, I’m no better than a dog!”

nZhen Shanmei could not say anything to that.

nNing Meng returned to her room after she was done talking.

nZhen Shanmei followed closely behind her, watching as she sat on the sofa, picked up her phone, and started sending messages.

n

n

nShe did not dare to say anything to Ning Meng, only sitting beside her quietly. After a while, she saw Ning Meng’s newly posted status on social media. Is there anyone available? Come and have a great time with me!

nSoon, a lot of people had liked and commented on her post.

nFriend No.1: Are you back to normal?

nFriend No.2: Glamour Club. 301 private room. Come faster!

nPapa Ning: Are you lonely? I’ll prepare some celebrities for you!

nNing Meng did not know how to respond to that.

nNing Meng read that message and she did not manage to refuse her father’s offer when she received a call from him.

nShe picked up the call and Ning Wentao could be heard smilingly saying, “Mengmeng, I’ve sent you a few photographs! Take a look at them and see which one you like. I’ll ask him to wait for you in the hotel room.”

n

n

nNing Meng was speechless.

nWas that what an old father was supposed to do?

nShe responded firmly. “No need.”

nNing Wentao replied, “Why not? You haven’t had any laughter and happiness in the past month. It’s not like you!”

nNing Meng said, “…I’m hanging up now.”

nAfter she hung up her phone, she saw that somebody had sent a message to the WeChat group, ‘Is The Boss Angry Today?’.

nQi Shan: D*mn it! I knew you could not change your old habits! Do you really want to do the same old things? I don’t believe it! @Ning Meng

nSu Ye: Madam, calm down! You cannot turn back once you go down the same road! The boss will be angry at you!

nNing Meng sneered when she read those messages.

nShe picked a photo from the ones sent to her by Ning Wentao. Then, she uploaded it to the group.

nNing Meng: How about this?

nQi Shan: …He could not even be compared to the boss at all. Is that what you wanted when you win the boss over?

nSu Ye: Madam, be prudent!

n

n

nNing Meng: Hmm.

nNing Meng stood up after replying to that message. She turned to Zhen Shanmei. “Come, let’s go!”

nZhen Shanmei was shocked. “Do you really want to go and have some fun?”

nSoon, she became quite eager. “My dad is strict with me, I’ve never had a wild time!”

nNing Meng rolled her eyes at Zhen Shanmei. “Go and play with your elder brother, then! Why don’t you go and practice your song in the set?”

nZhen Shanmei replied, “I don’t have an elder brother.”

nNing Meng was speechless.

nHuo Beichen’s face darkened as he was on his way to the office.

nHe had logged into WeChat using Fei Bai’s account and had read through all of the messages in the WeChat group.
