Ning Xia didn't pay much attention and casually responded, "I'm short, yeah!"
She was more than just short on funds; she was extremely short on them.
"You are the third young miss of the Ning Family; surely the Ning Family isn't so poor that they need you to dance at nightclubs to earn money," Bo Siyan narrowed his eyes, his gaze burning into Ning Xia as if it could see right through her.
Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a half beat.
The reason she was short of money was a secret, known only to Qiqi and nobody else; she absolutely could not let anyone find out.
Ning Xia's gaze fluttered, and then, with a pained expression on her face, eyes brimming with tears, she pitifully said, "You know, my mother is just… a concubine without status. A few years ago, the old man—cough, my father kicked us out of the house and didn't care whether we lived or died. My mother and I had to fend for ourselves and work hard to make money!"
