Chapter 255
Sheng Man was so angry that blood rushed to her head. She stood up and couldn’t help shouting: “Ye Zhi has already got the endorsement. Why should I apologize to her?”
“Mom, why aren’t you helping me instead of an outsider?”
Unlike Sheng Man’s angry expression, Nie Jiqing continued to sit there with a calm expression, with her hands gracefully resting on the dark tabletop.
Nie Jiqing stared at Sheng Man, but she did not reply immediately. There was no trace of anger on her well-maintained face. She just looked at Sheng Man’s eyes with a little coldness.
After a long while, Nie Jiqing finally said coldly: “Sheng Man, you have lost your manners.”
Although it was just a single sentence, it was as if a bolt of thunder had struck Sheng Man’s heart, immediately making her come back to her senses.
Sheng Man felt uneasy when she thought that she had dared to speak to Nie Jiqing in such a tone just now. She should have restrained her emotions.
Sheng Man sat down and said cautiously: “Mom, I’m sorry…”
Nie Jiqing looked at Sheng Man expressionlessly: “I have taught you for so long, but now you have even forgotten the basic etiquette and manners?”
Sheng Man knew that she was in the wrong this time and said more carefully: “Mom, can I just send a message of apology to Ye Zhi instead of apologizing in person?”
Seeing Nie Jiqing not speaking, Sheng Man became even more flustered.
A few seconds later, Nie Jiqing said: “You have been too tired recently. Stop your work for the time being.”
After saying this, Nie Jiqing stood up without even looking at Sheng Man.
Shing Man’s eyes widened. She was grounded? Sheng Man asked in a daze: “Mom, why?”
Nie Jiqing didn’t look back. She only said one sentence: “You disappointed me too much.”
Sheng Man slumped in her seat with a pale face. After a while, she returned to her room and didn’t go downstairs for a long time.
At dinner, maid Zhao reminded Nie Jiqing: “Miss has not eaten.”
Nie Jiqing’s expression remained unchanged: “When she figures it out, she will come down by herself.”
In the evening, Sheng Man finally let it go. In order not to make Nie Jiqing further angry, she could only agree to apologize to Ye Zhi.
…
After Ye Zhi finished work, she walked outside the studio, planning to walk to her car.
She hadn’t noticed that a black car had been parked on the corner. The people in the car had been paying attention to her for a long time. As soon as Ye Zhi came out, the car followed her.
When Ye Zhi was still some distance away from her car, the black Bentley stopped in front of Ye Zhi, making her pause.
Ye Zhi looked over.
The windows of the Bentley slowly moved down, revealing a beautiful woman sitting in the back seat. The woman turned her head to look at Ye Zhi. She was Nie Jiqing.
Nie Jiqing saw Ye Zhi and said with a smile: “Miss Ye, I want to chat with you, don’t know if you are free?”
Ye Zhi remained calm and began to think about Nie Jiqing’s intention.
When Nie Jiqing saw Ye Zhi not speaking, she didn’t care. The next second, she opened the door and lightly stepped out in her high heels.
Nie Jiqing walked over to Ye Zhi and said politely: “I want to give you an explanation about Sheng Man’s actions.”
Ye Zhi pondered for a few seconds before looking at her assistant: “You go back first.”
The Bentley car drove away with Ye Zhi sitting next to Nie Jiqing. Ye Zhi didn’t want to be involved with Nie Jiqing so she continued to maintain an indifferent expression.
