During the backstage interview, when the staff once again directed a question at Ning Yu, she chose to shake her head.
Ning Yu smiled without answering, “As for this answer, everyone can just think it over in their own hearts. There’s no need to say it out loud.”
Why not say it out loud?
She had to consider Xiao Zhang’s situation. After all, she and Xiao Zhang had been on the same page the entire time. There were some things Xiao Zhang couldn’t easily say, but Ning Yu could. However, how should such matters even be put into words?
Should she outright say it’s because Xiao Zhang is disappointed?
Should she outright say Xiao Zhang has realized she can’t rely on this man at all?
This is a widow-style marriage, a widow-style way of raising children. In reality, there are too many complicated and trivial matters to handle.
You have to consider the child’s upbringing and also think about the parents and relatives. Even if you’re disappointed, you can’t just divorce cleanly for the time being, so you can only carry on like this.
But maybe things will be different once she earns her own money. With more confidence and a sense of security, money is something that feels most reassuring when it’s in your own hands.
If things really become unbearable in the future, she could just cut ties, take the child, and leave, without ending up in a frantic, humiliating mess.
These things, everyone understands them deep down.
It’s just not good to say them out loud.
What netizens speculate is their own business. As long as Ning Yu, Xiao Zhang, and Su Yuan don’t utter a single word, who would know?
Even if Xiao Zhang’s family watches, at most they’ll just think Xiao Zhang has dreams and wants to work.
Girls are inherently kind-hearted.
The bullet comments and comment section only had a few simple lines.
“Respect. I’m genuinely moved. It’s true that only women truly understand women.”
“Just based on this, I’m convinced Ning Yu is a good person. I’ve decided I’m going to stan Ning Yu.”
“Aww… this is really good. I hope everything goes smoothly for Xiao Zhang too. It’s all so tough.”
The one-day experience of life clearly didn’t go well.
When Xiao Zhang returned home, everything was a mess. Xiao Wang grinned cheekily, saying he now understood how hard it was for Xiao Zhang and promised to be more considerate in the future.
But would he really do it?
Ning Yu instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
It really turned out just as Ning Yu had said from the beginning.
The first episode of the show officially ended. Ning Yu was overjoyed—finally, she could go home.
She was looking forward to celebrating Xu Yize’s birthday~
The female star was off work, ready to happily head home.
And Fu Jingchen had offered to pick her up for dinner, which Ning Yu was absolutely delighted about.
A handsome older brother—just looking at him was a pleasure.
But as soon as she stepped through the door, Xu Yize stopped her.
Xu Yize wore a cold expression, as if Ning Yu owed him eight million.
Ning Yu was impatient, “A good dog doesn’t block the way. What do you want? Does your girlfriend know you’re doing this? What’s your purpose? Get out, get as far away as possible.”
Hearing this, Xu Yize became even more convinced that Ning Yu was just throwing a tantrum. If she didn’t care, why would she bring up Lin Momo?
But in reality…
Ning Yu was just imitating the online sisters’ way of going off.
Xu Yize continued to block Ning Yu with his arm, a mocking smile on his lips, “Ning Yu, have you had enough of this act?”
Ning Yu: “?”
Ning Yu directly pointed in one direction, took a step back, and casually looked Xu Yize up and down, “If there’s something wrong with your brain, go get it treated. One sentence from you is enough to make me drink green tea for half a year just to cut through the grease.”Xu Yize could tell this time that Ning Yu was calling him greasy.
But hadn’t Ning Yu said before that she liked everything he did? How much time had passed? How could Ning Yu change so quickly?
Indeed, he knew it all along—this shallow woman knew nothing about true love. She only followed her whims, acting recklessly without caring about others’ thoughts or well-being.
Immediately, Xu Yize felt his head could be held a little higher again. He lifted his chin, looking quite noble.
In Ning Yu’s eyes, he resembled a rooster.
Ning Yu asked word by word: “Just say it, what do you actually want?”
Xu Yize straightened his back, emphasizing his tone heavily, as if afraid Ning Yu wouldn’t hear him.
“Ning Yu, I’m telling you for the last time—Lin Momo and I are true love. Don’t try to bully her, and don’t test my patience, understand?”
Ning Yu lowered her head to admire her manicure, then looked up casually with an innocent smile: “Look, aren’t my nails beautiful and long? Aren’t they perfect for gouging out your eyeballs and stomping them underfoot!”
“What does your true love have to do with me? If you love showing off so much, why not announce your relationship on Weibo? Then I might admit you’re a real man with courage.”
Ning Yu smiled brightly. Was he stopping her late at night just to show off here?
How many times had she said it—who cares about you two?
Date whoever you want, why do you have to keep telling me?
Ignoring Xu Yize’s intense anger and shock, Ning Yu continued admiring her nails: “Don’t test my patience either. Don’t you know best that I have a bad temper? I can’t guarantee what I might do on impulse. Exposing things on Weibo is actually the lowest-level move.”
Xu Yize couldn’t retort a single sentence in front of Ning Yu—she simply didn’t give him a chance to perform.
In Ning Yu’s eyes, Xu Yize’s words were just childish games, utterly uninteresting.
And after all, Xu Yize was an idiot.
He pointed with both hands, his whole body trembling: “I’m telling you, Ning Yu, if you have any issues, come at me! Don’t bully Momo!”
Here we go again!
Ning Yu rolled her eyes until they ached.
“Then go die. If you kowtow three times and bow nine times all the way from here to my house, I won’t bully Lin Momo. How about that?”
Ning Yu teased him like a fool, her gaze mocking and sarcastic as she watched Xu Yize. Xu Yize was so angry his eyes widened, his knuckles cracking audibly.
Ning Yu stated bluntly: “I really enjoy seeing you like this—unable to do anything about me, just burning with humiliation and rage. It’s truly charming.”
“Ning Yu, you’re simply… unreasonable!”
On Xu Yize’s usually gentle face, his features now twisted. In the dim night light, he truly resembled some pages from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Just then, a car not far away suddenly honked. Both of them looked up almost simultaneously, spotting Fu Jingchen sitting inside.
Fu Jingchen’s aura was terrifyingly low. Even from three meters away, one could feel the icy glare in his eyes, sharp as blades, crashing fiercely toward Xu Yize.
Xu Yize had always been someone who judged people by their status.
In front of Ning Yu, he could rely on her past affection to appear somewhat noble. But facing Fu Jingchen, he had no courage at all.
Moreover, he had overlooked the most serious issue.Ning Yu indeed shares her mother’s surname Ning, but she is also Fu Jingchen’s biological sister.
Even if the two were to marry, Xu Yize would still be unable to hold his head high in the Fu family.
Moreover, the current Ning Yu simply looks down on Xu Yize. In the eyes of the siblings, he is nothing but a clown.
Fu Jingchen strode over slowly, his nearly 190-centimeter height exuding an intense pressure.
Upon reaching the two, he unhesitatingly spat out a single word toward Xu Yize.
“Scram!”
