Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Slap Comes Too Fast Like a Tornado 4
Ning Xixi raised an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curved just right, "What rumors?"
Ma Yiqing’s dark eyes whirled around as she affectionately linked arms with Ning Xixi, "Don’t you know? It’s all over Ying City’s high society that your stepmother abused you, drove you out of the Ning Family, and cut off your financial support. You can only maintain a living by working... Ah, Xixi, you’ve really suffered. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I could have helped you..."
Ning Xixi discreetly withdrew her hand, sneering internally. What help? Weren’t they just here to mock her?
"Thanks for your concern, but it’s not necessary."
"Xixi, why are you still pretending with me? If you’re in trouble, you can tell me, I’ll definitely help you. Stop working in this dirty, cramped martial arts hall. It’s so embarrassing!" Ma Yiqing feigned concern as she called over to a robust man nearby, "Ming Xuan, come and persuade Xixi!"
A tall man approached, the very Ming Xuan who had once been hit with a tennis ball by Ji Yebai!
His brows and eyes were all gleeful, "Ning Xixi, how much do you make from a day’s work here? A hundred bucks? Our house is hiring a maid. How about you become my personal maid? I’ll pay you two hundred a day! How about that, isn’t it tempting?"
Ning Xixi’s lips twitched. Big brother, who gave you the gall?
Can the two of you be any more blatant in kicking someone while they’re down? Does trampling over the weak to stay on top show real manhood?
Cheng Youran couldn’t hold back and, with hands on hips, shouted, "Look, if you really want to do good, turn right out the door and head to the Red Cross! Stop making a scene in our martial arts hall!"
"Oh my, Cheng Youran, your family’s martial arts hall is in such bad shape, how is that any different from living in poverty!" Ma Yiqing said with a pained expression.
In fact, the Cheng Family Martial Arts Hall had quite a historical reputation and was very well-regarded in this generation. But once spoken of by Ma Yiqing, it seemed so unsavory.
Cheng Youran was so angry that she began to roll up her sleeves, practically ready to tear apart these two scumbags and bitches with her own hands!
A pair of small hands pressed on her arm, stopping her.
"Why are you coming to me for money again?! Have you no shame?!" Ning Xixi raised her voice at Ming Xuan.
Ming Xuan was clearly flustered. What was this woman trying to do?
The martial arts hall was about to open for business, and there had been many people coming and going these past few days. Hearing the commotion, they all curiously looked on.
Ning Xixi turned on her best acting skills, berating Ming Xuan with a mix of emotion and voice," I already told you to eat fewer spicy sticks since they can affect your IQ, but you just wouldn’t believe me! Wasn’t the twenty bucks I gave you yesterday enough?"
Ming Xuan urgently said, "When did you give me..."
"Enough! Here’s another twenty! Spend ten on spicy sticks, and use the rest to get a QQ membership! Don’t bother me again!"
With a flick of her wrist, Ning Xixi slapped a twenty-dollar bill onto his face.
The onlooking crowd erupted, pointing fingers at Ming Xuan—
"Wow, he looks decent enough, but it turns out he has such a thick face!"
"A grown man earning money on a construction site is one thing, but asking a woman for money!"
"Listen, girl, this kind of man, I suggest you just cripple him straight away! Otherwise, he’s a bottomless pit, and you’d be better off getting a wheelchair ready early!"
"..."
Ming Xuan was about to vomit blood. Damn it, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and it’s true. This Ning Xixi, not only was she poisonous, but she was downright venomous!
