Ming Shu’s words shocked Lu Ning. Yi Xi had a temper but her personality was not bad.
Why would she do such a thing?
Ming Shu knew that she didn’t believe her so she woke the man up.
Lu Ning never met such a situation before so she was in a daze.
The moment the man opened his eyes, he saw two women looking at him. He was stunned at first. After a while, he turned angry.
“You…”
“Shh!” Ming Shu raised her forefinger. “Don’t shout. If not, other people might think that you got… you know what I mean. That will be humiliating.”
The man: “…”
Shameless!
Lu Ning was speechless. Luckily, it was night so her expression was covered by the darkness.
“Who gave you so much money?” Ming Shu waved the money in her hand.
“My money…” The man was furious. “Stupid bitch, give me back my money.”
“Since I saw money on the street, I have to snatch it. It’s my job. You don’t have to thank me.”
The man glared at Ming Shu angrily. Where did this woman come from!
His head was hurting…
“Answer my question.”
“What does that have to do with you?” The man hadn’t realized that he was tied up. He thought for a moment and dashed toward Ming Shu. “Crazy bitch, who asked you to be a busybody… aiyo.”
The man crashed to the ground. His head was scraped.
He saw the woman in front of him. Why did she suddenly disappear?
Was she a ghost?
Ming Shu’s voice sounded behind him. The man felt something heavy pressing against his back. “Who asked you to bully her?”
“No…”
The man screamed in pain.
There was one good thing about the East District. No one would come out even if they heard such screams. Unless… they had nothing better to do.
“No one…” The man gritted his teeth. “I just found her pretty.”
“The lights are so dim. How are you able to see her face? Do you have supersonic eyes?”
The man was just a hooligan. He didn’t say anything because he still needed to get the remaining money.
However, after a few minutes, he spoke the truth in front of Ming Shu.
“That… that lady asked me to do it.”
Lu Ning’s palm sweated profusely. No… that’s impossible.
Ming Shu continued asking, “Which lady?”
The man said, “The one that just ran away. I don’t know what she’s called.”
The man wanted to harass her, but the lady gave him money and even agreed to call another lady over. He had nothing to lose, so he agreed.
Lu Ning’s blood froze. She felt a chill down her spine.
Yi Xi…
Why did this happen?
But, after so long, she didn’t come back and save her.
Their house was just a few minutes away. She should have come back by now.
She didn’t save Yi Xi because she wanted to get anything in return. Why did Yi Xi do this to her?
Ban Lan walked around the small house. “Why isn’t Sister Lu Ning back yet?”
Yi Xi sat on the old sofa. “Don’t worry. Lu Ning knows how to take care of herself.”
Ban Lan said, “I gave my cellphone to someone. Sister Yi Xi, can you call Sister Lu Ning?”
Yi Xi didn’t want to but under Ban Lan’s intent gaze, she had to make the call. He would probably find other ways to call Lu Ning even if she didn’t do it.
Yi Xi took out her cellphone and called Lu Ning.
A cellphone rang outside the door.
The doorknob turned.
Yi Xi’s expression froze. She grabbed her cellphone tightly.
Ban Lan looked at the door. He was relieved. “Sister Lu Ning, you’re finally back.”
The cellphone continued ringing. Lu Ning stood at the door with a calm expression. Ban Lan noticed something was amiss. “Sister Lu Ning, what’s wrong?”
“Hey, let’s talk inside. It’s fine to eat cup noddles too.” I’m not picky about my food!
A head popped out from the dark. Ban Lan got a fright.
Ban Lan pointed at her in surprise. “You… why are you with Sister Lu Ning?”
Ming Shu shrugged. She smiled innocently. “I can be with anyone I want. It’s my choice.”
Lu Ning entered the house and titled her body to let Ming Shu enter.
This house was small. It seemed cramped with four people inside.
Yi Xi looked at Ming Shu with hatred in her eyes.
It’s her…
Why was she with Lu Ning?
What was her relationship with Lu Ning?
Lu Ning closed the door without saying anything. Her cellphone had stopped ringing since the time was up.
The house was silent.
The atmosphere was tense so Ban Lan didn’t dare to talk. He stood in the same spot and shifted his gaze between the three ladies.
What the hell is happening!
Huala—
Lu Ning put down her keys and took out three cups of instant noodles. She tore them opened and poured hot water.
Her actions were smooth.
“Sister Lu Ning…”
Lu Ning looked at Yi Xi. “Yi Xi, aren’t you going to explain yourself?”
Yi Xi didn’t expect Lu Ning to return so quickly. She didn’t expect Lu Ning to come back with her enemy, either.
Ban Lan was nearby just now. If she was questioned, there was no way she could defend herself.
“There’s nothing to explain.” She smiled coldly. “I did it.”
Lu Ning’s last hope was dashed. “Why?”
Why did you do this!
“Why?” Yi Xi stood up. She was a wealthy person so her aura was entirely different. At this moment, she looked high and mighty like a queen. “Why don’t you look at yourself properly. Why are you pretending to be a kind person? Why do you even want to go to the West District? Do you know what kind of place that is? Is that a place you can go just because you want to?”
Lu Ning shook her head in disbelief. “I just want to lead a better life. What is wrong with that? Is this your reason?”
Everyone in the East District wanted to go to the West District, right?
However, some people didn’t want to work hard and just felt that the world was unfair. They lost their motivation to fight and waited for luck to fall into their laps.
“Yes.” Yi Xi smiled blatantly. “If you come to the West District, I’ll be disgusted.”
“You…” Lu Ning realized that Yi Xi was different from them so she guessed that Yi Xi came from the West District. But, she never said anything.
She took her in, but this was how she treated her?
Yi Xi looked disgusted. “Lu Ning, you will only be able to rot here for the rest of your life. I’ll not let you step into the West District at all.”
Yi Xi didn’t take anything. She just left the house arrogantly.
Thump—
Yi Xi was thrown on the ground unexpectedly. The things beside her fell on her.
Yi Xi turned her head and saw Ming Shu retracting her foot slowly.
“What are you doing!” Yi Xi shouted angrily.
If this woman had saved her, she would not have had to experience all those things in her past life!
Ming Shu shrugged. “My leg doesn’t listen to me. It wanted to greet you.”
