Chapter 24 - Travel

In order to let Ning Xiang relax, Qiao Yun and the others packed their schedules full of activities and brought her out for some fun.

First, they went shopping, then they ate, and finally went to a spa. Before long, the day was almost over.

Ning Xiang was glowing after relaxing all day. The next day, she went to school.

Before leaving, Fu Ze glanced at her. He chose a cap for her and made her put it on.

"What for?"

Fu Ze put on his watch and said calmly, "It's windy today. Don't take it off."

Ning Xiang did not know what was going on, but she was running out of time. She did not argue with him and kept it on.

She was a postgraduate student and was in her second year of postgraduate studies at Beijing University. She did a double major in finance and medicine. Her classes were very packed today and she was busy the entire morning. She only had time to rest when it was time for lunch.

The students on campus were all in a hurry to eat.

Ning Xiang was also anxious. She wanted to take a bite to fill her stomach before going to conduct an experiment, but she was stopped halfway.

Ning Lian looked very happy. "Big Sister, I've been searching for you high and low. I've finally found you!"

Ning Xiang did not even look at her. Ning Xiang just walked past her and left quickly.

Ning Lian's expression froze. Her legs were not as long as Ning Xiang's. She had to work very hard to keep up with Ning Xiang.

There were many people in the cafeteria. Ning Xiang picked a less crowded food counter to buy lunch and found an empty seat.

Ning Lian finally had a chance to talk to Ning Xiang. "Big Sister, why are you ignoring me?"

Ning Xiang ate very quickly. The brim of her cap covered half of her face, revealing only her exquisite lips and chin.

Seeing that Ning Xiang was still ignoring her, Ning Lian looked around and then said in a louder voice, "Big Sister, are you ignoring me because you're angry with Mom? I had no choice!"

Ning Xiang still did not say a word. The people around her looked over.

Ning Lian bit her lip and continued, "Big Sister, I snuck out this time to apologize to you. Please forgive me."

As Ning Lian spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

She was wearing a white dress today and had long black hair. She looked very delicate and pitiful.

Ning Xiang still ignored her.

It did not feel good to act in a one-man show. If Ning Xiang did not take the bait, the effect Ning Lian wanted wouldn't come out.

Her eyes darkened. She suddenly grabbed one of Ning Xiang's arms and hit herself hard. "Big Sister, vent your anger on me if you have to. Don't hold it in. If you fall sick from anger, I won't feel good either."

A piece of pork rib fell from Ning Xiang's chopsticks and rolled to the ground.

She looked at the piece of meat for a few seconds before her gaze gradually shifted to Ning Lian.

Ning Lian looked at Ning Xiang pitifully. "Big Sister, are you finally willing to talk to me?"

PAH!

Ning Lian was originally sitting on the stool, but she was slapped away by Ning Xiang and staggered to the ground.

The people around them were shocked.

"What are you doing? Your sister is apologizing to you. Why did you hit her?"

"How can you hit someone in school? You're so good-looking, but you're so vicious."

"She looks familiar. Is that Ning Xiang?"

"She beat people up before, right? I've seen the news. A dog can't change its spots."

Discussions broke out everywhere. Ning Lian touched the warm spot on her face and sneered in her heart.

Ning Xiang had voluntarily given Ning Lian the perfect opportunity to make her look bad. Ning Xiang was so stupid that she deserved to be used by her.

When she looked up again, Ning Lian's face was filled with disbelief. She put on a tolerant look and said with humility. "Big Sister, I'm sorry, but it's okay. It doesn't matter if you treat me like this, but you can't disregard our family."

"Dad and Mom fell sick from anger. After Mom saw you, she was listless. She got into a car accident on the way and is still lying in bed. Eldest Brother and Second Brother were beaten up by you and are recuperating at home. They don't dare to go out and meet anyone, but they are also willing to forgive you and want to eat with you."

"I called you many times, but you didn't answer. I had no choice but to come to the school to look for you."

Ning Lian's face was swollen from the slap. She had been covering it so that no one could see the swollen side.

Her perfect face was fair and exquisite, and she had put on some subtle makeup. Her tears fell in streams, making one feel sorry for her.

The surrounding people were already immersed in the show. They began to stand up for Ning Lian and criticize Ning Xiang.

"Ning Xiang is too infuriating. I really want to punch her. Such a person doesn't deserve a scholarship. I want to report her to the school and disqualify her from getting it!"
