“Mom, your grandson can’t do without his maternal grandmother, right? Can Mom help my mother for the sake of the child in my stomach? Junxi, I’m already carrying a child for you. Can you just bail my mother out by pulling some strings?” Ning Yao shook Xu Junxi’s arm and acted coquettishly.

Ning Qing idly leaned against the door and looked at her. The corners of her mouth turned up in a sneer. Mothers indeed rise in status through their child in noble families, but Ning Yao’s child in her belly was only 40 days old, and she wanted to take credit for it. She was simply as slow and stupid as a pig.

How could Xu Junxi’s mother agree to it?

Sure enough, Mother Xu was furious and pointed to Ning Yao’s nose and scolded, “Ning Yao, what are you thinking? You think you’re the Missus of the Xu family just because you’re pregnant with Junxi’s child? And you want to get a reward from us? Let me tell you if you want to give birth to this child, then do it, if not, then get rid of it as soon as possible. We, the Xu family, are not short of noble ladies to give birth to our children. There are many hens who can lay eggs!”

As she spoke, Mother Xu took her bag and went out. “She doesn’t even know her place. If not for the baby in your stomach, you would have no value at all. If you’re smart, you should just remain quiet and take care of the fetus. If you create any more trouble, the Xu family would not want your child.”

Mother Xu came to the door and saw Ning Qing. She changed her acerbic and bitter look and smiled kindly at Ning Qing. “Qingqing, are you free anytime soon? Auntie wants to invite you to our house for dinner?”

“I’m not free.” Ning Qing answered curtly.

Mother Xu couldn’t find a way out of this embarrassing situation. At this time, “Mom!” Xu Junxi growled and stopped his mother from saying anything else.

Mother Xu closed her mouth sadly. “Qingqing, I have to go.”

Mother Xu walked away and left.

Tears kept falling out of Ning Yao’s eyes. She hugged Xu Junxi’s waist and cried pitifully. “Junxi, how can Mom scold me like that? I still have your baby in my stomach.”

Xu Junxi was frustrated and upset. Ning Qing was standing beside the door. He was not in the mood to comfort Ning Yao. He reached out his hand and redirected the woman. “Yaoyao, you have a rest first, I’ll go and pay the medical fees.”

Xu Junxi left.

Ning Yao was in a bad mood. She was pregnant with child, But Mother Xu and Xu Junxi were not enthusiastic at all. They didn’t even have a caring and thoughtful word for her.

This was quite different from what she had previously imagined. Weren’t mothers supposed to rise in status through their child?

But Ning Qing was standing by the door. She could only raise her chin proudly and laugh. “Sister, you must be disappointed. I am pregnant with Junxi’s baby.”

“Ah.” Ning Qing looked at Ning Yao with her smiling beautiful eyes and asked, “What has changed since you were pregnant with his child? Did Xu Junxi promise to save your mother? Would he marry you and allow you to enter the Xu family gate? You haven’t got anything. What are you happy about?”

Ning Qing had poked at Ning Yao’s sore spot, but she replied stubbornly, “Hmph! When my child is born, I will naturally rise in status through my child. Sooner or later I will pass through the Xu family gates.”

“That’s hard to say, Xu Junxi’s mother had said very clearly that they only wanted the child in your stomach. There would be a noble lady to be the child’s mother, or even, with a nod from me, your child would have to call me mother. But unfortunately, I do not want it!”

Ning Yao’s heart was in pain from the fury she felt. Thinking of how Mother Xu had flattered and sucked up to Ning Qing, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

How did Ning Qing become a shareholder of Emperor Entertainment Group? Why was her life so good, allowing her to latch onto to Lu Shaoming?

Remembering that dinner party when Lu Shaoming had stripped her disguise layer by layer. He was cruel and ruthless, but he was so kind to Ning Qing.

And she had latched onto Xu Junxi, but she was so tired from doing so.

At this time, Xu Junxi entered the ward and an idea suddenly came to Ning Yao. She quickly covered her stomach with a painful moan, “Junxi, my stomach hurts, just now my sister had said a lot of ugly words to agitate me.”

Xu Junxi hugged Ning Yao’s shoulder and looked at Ning Qing in displeasure. His lips were pressed together in frustration.

Ning Qing stood up straight; she had no time to play with them. She said to Xu Junxi, “President Xu, don’t always be so indecisive as a man. Don’t be led around by the nose by a woman. Ning Yao saved you once three years ago, but she’s held you back for so long. Now that she is pregnant, it’s very likely that she will hold you back for a lifetime. Don’t you realize that this woman had been taking from you all along? Think about it carefully. I don’t think even know what you really want in life. Now that you’ve added an additional innocent little life to the mix, it would be a pity for the child.”

Ning Qing spoke her piece and walked away.

Ning Yao saw Xu Junxi’s grim expression. He appears to have some grievances. She was afraid that Xu Junxi would ask her to abort the child.

She hugged Xu Junxi. “Junxi, touch my stomach. I have a fresh life in my stomach. This is your baby. You’ll love me. You’ll love your baby, won’t you?”

Xu Junxi did not embrace Ning Yao. He was very tired. Ning Qing was right. He did not know what he wanted in life anymore.

“Yaoyao, this child is our first child after all. You should take good care of it. But in the meantime, don’t cause any more trouble, or I won’t protect you. I can’t settle your mother’s business. I can’t marry you in the near future. You behave and take care of yourself. I need to calm down too.”

Ning Yao’s entire heart sank completely.

...

Li Meiling’s trial went very smoothly. There were both witnesses and material pieces of evidence. The court soon opened its session. Li Meiling was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment.

At the door of the courthouse, Li Meiling was escorted by the police, and Ning Qing had her last conversation with the woman.

“Auntie Li, did you expect to end up in prison?”

Li Meiling was haggard. She had been confined in a dark cell all day long. Her unwillingness had slowly turned into despair. During this period, no one had come to visit her. Only Ning Yao came once.

Her life was so hopeless and desolate. 20 years, hah! When she gets out, she will be almost 70 years old. Her life has been ruined; it would be better to die.

Li Meiling did not reply. She looked around like she was looking for someone.

Ning Qing smiled gently. “Stop looking for someone. Ning Zhenguo didn’t come. You have already become a stain in his life. Now, he wishes that he had never met you.”

“Hah...haha.” Li Meiling gave two sad laughs. She squinted at Ning Qing. “I didn’t expect that Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing could have a daughter like you!”

“Thank you for your compliment,” Ning Qing said with a smile on her lips as she looked forward. “Auntie Li, my mother and my grandmother have come to see you off.”

On the cobblestone ground ahead, there was a luxury business car. The rear window slid down. Grandma was sitting in it. She was naughty like a child, snatching the lollipop in Yue Wanqing’s hand.

Yue Wanqing coaxed gently, “Mom if you eat too many lollipops, your teeth will decay.”

“None of your business, I want to eat it.” Grandma placed the wrapped lollipop in her mouth, turned her head and laughed twice at Li Meiling, “Hehe.”

Li Meiling’s pupils shrank sharply and trembled all over. She broke away from the prison guard. She lost control and wanted to strangle Ning Qing as she snarled, “Grandma hadn’t regained her sanity at all. Ning Qing, you lied to me at Yao Yao’s wedding banquet!”

Looking at Li Meiling’s primal, menacing expression, Ning Qing laughed calmly. “Auntie Li, do you know why evil never wins justice in this world? Because the evildoer has ghosts in her heart!”

“Ning Qing, I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you! You destroyed me, in fact, I have already succeeded! I was born with both brains and beauty but I had suffered from belittling gazes just because I was born to a poor family. I had worked so hard to sing in operas, but those women were jealous of me and put me down. Those men harassed me and tried to sleep with me. I didn’t get anything. But what about your mother? She had been adopted by Grandmother in the orphanage. She was so lucky and she got everything. Why?

“I swore in my heart that one day I will be honored, wealthy and powerful. I took advantage of my beauty to get to this point today, but how did you come along?”

Ning Qing stood up straight and said with some pity and compassion, “There were so many people in the orphanage. Why had my grandmother chosen my mother? That’s because my mother is pure, clean and kind. Nobody in this world could get what they want for nothing. It’s not because I have harmed you, but because you have harmed yourself because you have chosen the wrong way and died of your greed.”

Li Meiling burst into tears.

At this time, “Mom!” Ning Yao ran over.

“Yaoyao.” The mother and daughter hugged together and wept bitterly.

Not far away, the door of the luxury business car was opened, and a handsome figure walked out. Lu Shaoming had come to pick her up.

Ning Qing stepped down and went to the man with a gentle expression.

“Ning Qing, do you think this is the end?” Li Meiling shouted fiercely at her from behind.

Ning Qing did not look back. She looked at Lu Shaoming’s bright and beautiful narrow eyes and said slowly, “I don’t know if it’s the end, but I know it’s your end!”

The cool autumn wind dispersed Ning Qing’s hair, and the late afternoon sunset swept across the earth, it was warm and quiet. Ning Qing smiled and put her small hand into Lu Shaoming’s big hand.

Farewell, Li Meiling.

...

“Wind and Dust” had officially finished filming. Half a month later, “Wind and Dust” was released in various cinemas. On the first day, the box office broke through $800 million. The film with the theme of the old Republic of China, a theme which was not in popular demand, was successful in setting a record the history of the film industry.

Ning Qing’s fame and status in the entertainment industry had been booming all the way. She had occupied the first place in Baidu’s pop star index for three consecutive weeks, overtaking the four famous actresses in China in a second. She had become the most popular first-line actress in China.

The 32nd White Flower Awards for films announced the shortlisted actresses. Ning Qing, with the role of Meng Yao in “Wind and Dust”, had been shortlisted as the best actress and became a popular candidate.

Today it’s the White Flower Award ceremony. Tens of thousands of people were gathered and red carpets covered the floors. Popular stars have all gathered and the entire place was sparkling and bright. Xiao Zhou opened the car door and Ning Qing stepped down from the luxury nanny car.

She wore a light purple sequined fishtail skirt, a light colored V-neck that showed off her cleavage, and a white beaded handbag, which exuded the beauty and charm of an elegant woman.

The moment she appeared, she instantly became the focus of the audience, the media’s cameras flashed from all sides while enthusiastic fans chanted “Ning Qing”.

Ning Qing’s eyes curved as she hooked her beautiful lips in a smile and waved to the fans.

Another limo pulled up; Xia Xiaofu had arrived.

Xia Xiaofu was wearing a white dress with handmade flowers at the edge of her elegant fluttering skirt. The delicate design of her lace lantern sleeves made her look like a flower fairy, as beautiful as a nymph.

As soon as she appeared, there was another uproar.

“Xiaofu.” Ning Qing saw her, picked up her skirt, went forward, and gave her a hug.

“Ning Qing, I’ve been invited to be an award-presenting guest this time. I heard that you have been nominated as the best actress. You are worthy of the title of best actress in my mind. Your skills are obvious to all. Ning Qing, congratulations.” Xia Xiaofu embraced Ning Qing.

Ning Qing was very touched. “Xiaofu, thank you. Let’s walk on the red carpet together.”

“OK.” Xia Xiaofu took Ning Qing’s hand and they walked on the red carpet together.

“Wow...” The crowd erupted in excitement. The two goddesses had become the most beautiful spectacle on the red carpet. Everyone’s eyes shone with amazement.

“Wow, that’s my goddess Ning and my goddess Xia. They’re really beautiful. I want to take pictures. I want to take pictures with them.”

The crazy fans kept pushing around. Mother Xu and some rich ladies were almost squeezed into meat pies. Mother Xu was very fashionable and she would often attend fashion shows like the Milan fashion show. She also liked to chase after stars. She would often come to these festivals to get a glance at the stars’ beauty.

A rich lady shouted, “Oh, what are you squeezing for? My hair is all messed up. Hey, Mrs. Xu, don’t you like Xia Xiaofu best? Here comes your idol. Is the female star next to her Ning Qing, the new generation of goddess in the entertainment industry? My sons and daughters love her so much, I must get her autograph.”

Mother Xu’s expression was very stiff, she could hardly believe that the focus of the red carpet at the moment was Ning Qing, who had been severely humiliated by her three years ago.

Another rich lady said, “Mrs. Xu, didn’t you say that Ning Qing was your ex-daughter-in-law? What a muddlehead you are. Ning Qing is worth hundreds of billions of dollars now. But you’ve gone and chosen that Ning Yao instead of this daughter-in-law worth hundreds of billions. You are really blind.”

“Yes, Mrs. Xu, if Ning Qing is your daughter-in-law, you’d be able to show off all you want. We can all show off behind you too. Now, look at us, squeezing here while she walks comfortably on the red carpet; the treatment is very different.”

Mother Xu gritted her teeth without saying a word. How could she not hear the rich ladies’ sarcasm? Yet, she regretted it all so much. Three years ago, who knew that Ning Qing would be what she is today.

Ning Qing was a diamond, but she had insisted on seeing her as gravel.

An unknown fan beside Mother Xu heard Ning Yao’s name, and immediately interrupted, “I heard that Ning Yao has left the film industry now, and she’s no longer filming “Pink Lady.” Hmph, President Xu of Emperor Entertainment Group had always supported her and suppressed our Ning Qing back then. Now that Ning Qing had followed Director Wang and had made a name for herself, and had brutally given that f*ckboy and b*tch a sound slap.”

“That’s right, let’s not mention Ning Yao anymore. With Li Meiling as her mom, how good could she be successful? She is just a clown when compared with Ning Qing. Only President Xu would regard her as a treasure, haha.”

The fans sneered contemptuously.

Mother Xu’s anger was stuck in her chest, her precious son had been called a “f*ckboy.” But she could not refute it, just because she felt very humiliated.

All this was because of that b*tch Ning Yao.

...

Ning Qing and Xia Xiaofu were walking on the red carpet when another wave of cheers came. Looking back, they saw that Ou Luo Xi had arrived.
