BXBX NOVEL Chapter 248
Sheng Man didn’t know when Nie Jiqing came to know Ye Zhi and what her intentions were behind helping her.
Usually, the Sheng family doted on her a lot, so questioned why Nie Jiqing helped Ye Zhi this time.
As the car was getting closer to the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Man was feeling nervous. Even her heartbeat started to speed up. She didn’t know why but she felt that things under her control were gradually getting out of track.
When she arrived at the mansion, Sheng Man was panicking.
As Sheng Man got out of the car, a sudden gust of wind hit her. Although it was only early winter, she felt the cold chill in her bones.
Sheng Man took a deep breath and opened the door of Sheng Mansion.
Just as she entered the living room, Sheng Man saw Nie Jiqing sitting on the sofa. Nie Jiqing seemed to be waiting for her arrival.
“Mom.” Sheng Man’s voice was filled with a little unease.
The moment Sheng Man saw Nie Jiqing, all her anger suddenly disappeared.
Nie Jiqing heard Sheng Man’s voice and turned to look at her. Her eyes looked very calm. She didn’t seem angry, but she didn’t greet Sheng Man when she entered.
Nie Jiqing pointed to the position opposite the sofa: “Sit down first. Zhao, get a cup of hot water for the young miss.”
“If you have something to say, then say it.”
Sheng Man looked at Nie Jiqing’s extremely calm appearance, but it made her feel even more frightened.
Sheng Man plucked up his courage: “Mom, did you help Ye Zhi get Zoe Chen’s endorsement?”
Nie Jiqing glanced at Sheng Man faintly, but her calm eyes made Sheng Man even more nervous. Nie Jiqing did not speak immediately and only uttered one word.
“No.”
Just as Sheng Man was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Nie Jiqing continued.
“Ye Zhi got it by her own strength. If it weren’t for you intervening in it, I wouldn’t have made a move.”
From Nie Jiqing’s words, she had indirectly admitted that she did it.
Sheng Man’s mood at the moment could no longer be described as a shock: “Mom, did you hear any rumours? I did nothing wrong. I signed a contract with Zoe Chen a long time ago.”
Nie Jiqing ignored Sheng Man’s excuse: “As far as I know, you deliberately made Zoe Chen not disclose your corporation with her.”
“I asked Zoe Chen who was the better candidate. She told me that Ye Zhi was more suitable to be the spokesperson of her brand than you.”
Sheng Man was still refuting: “It was Zoe Chen who came to me first. It has nothing to do with Ye Zhi. The person who signed the contract with Zoe Chen was also me. She broke the contract.”
Nie Jiqing looked at Sheng Man coldly: “How about I pay you the liquidated damage?”
“If you cared about this deal so much, you should have just announced it, but you dragged Ye Zhi in and wanted to humiliate her. Did I teach you all of this?”
Hearing Nie Jiqing’s reply, Sheng Man’s body trembled slightly with anger, feeling Nie Jiqing’s indifference for the first time.
It felt like the biological daughter of the Sheng family who had been missing for many years was back, making her lose everything she had.
She was no longer the aloof and remote young miss of the Sheng family, but someone who had a fastidious but incompetent father and an older brother who would get into trouble anytime and anywhere.
When Sheng Man thought of this, tears began to form in the corner of her eyes.
Nie Jiqing knew that Sheng Man became like this because she usually tried her best to fulfil her every desire. She was also very disappointed with herself this time. She said in a very serious tone:
“You rely on your background to suppress others. I don’t know if you have done such things before…”
“So this is a lesson for you, Sheng Man.”
