C276 It's Not Your Fault

"I understand." Fei Aoting did not say what she wanted to say but Tao Ning smiled and took over her words, "I am the main character of this dance and the guests have not dispersed yet. How can I leave?"

From the moment she stepped into this whirlpool, it was destined that she would not be the first person to leave. Since she had already entered, even if she had to bite the bullet, she still had to hang on till the end and definitely could not withdraw halfway.

Fei Aoting lowered her head and did not say anything else. She did not know how to respond. To be honest, she felt very sympathetic towards Tao Ning in her heart. Whether it was Gu Zhengchu or Wei Tingjun, because she was Wei Jiyue. They would do anything to her in order to achieve their own goals.

She was the daughter of the Wei family and should have grown up in a pampered environment. However, because of her childhood misstep, she had lost everything that she should have. By the time she came back, everything had changed.

Without the father who truly loved her and looked forward to her return, she was just a tool. When she thought about how she, a daughter of a rich family, would end up like herself, she couldn't help but cherish her.

Fei Aoting returned to the car and took the jacket that she had prepared beforehand. When she was ready to warm Tao Ning, she discovered that Tao Ning's body was trembling slightly. It was unknown whether it was because she was angry or cold. But she did not know how to persuade people. The only thing she could do was to put on some clothes for her.

But when she went back, there was a man outside the door who was clamoring to see Tao Ning. Fei Aoting was somewhat angry but when she thought that this man must be one of the guests invited to the ball, she could only go forward politely.

"Mister, I am sorry. Miss Jiyue is currently resting. Can you not disturb her?"

"I am not going to disturb her but I know that she is currently in a bad mood. I just want to talk to her." After the man heard her, he turned to look at Fei Aoting. His tone became much gentler. "I am Miss Wei's friend. My name is Shi Dingliang. Please tell her that I believe she will definitely see me!"

Seeing that the man was so stubborn and was also afraid that his noise would startle the guests at the ball, Fei Aoting could only reluctantly agree.

"Alright then. Please wait here for a moment."

After Fei Aoting entered the room, before she could say anything, Tao Ning already asked, "What happened outside just now? Why is it so noisy?"

Tao Ning's willowy eyebrows were tightly knitted. She had a very bad premonition in her heart. Could it be that Gu Zhengchu had returned after leaving?

"It is a teacher called Shi Dingliang. He claims to be Miss Jiyue's friend. I wonder if you know Miss Jiyue?" Fei Aoting said as she walked towards her.

"It's him? Why is he here?" Tao Ning's face was full of surprise. It was true that Shi Dingliang was her friend, but why was he here? Could he also be one of the invited guests?

"He is my friend. Let him in!" Tao Ning came back to her senses and said to Fei Aoting. She remembered that she had not thanked Shi Dingliang for helping her last time. She did not know what she had been busy with recently and had never thought of this matter.

"Okay, I will go now." Fei Aoting helped Tao Ning put on the clothes in her hands before turning around and leaving.

After a while, Shi Dingliang was let in. At the moment when his eyes met Tao Ning's, He was first stunned and only then did he slowly welcome her with a smile, "Ning, your makeup tonight is really too stunning. I almost can't recognize you."

"You really know how to joke with me." Tao Ning pretended to be relaxed and tried to squeeze out a smile on her face.

"I am not joking. Ning, what I said is true. You are really beautiful today. Didn't the guests outside praise you? " Shi Dingliang walked towards Tao Ning in order to not let Tao Ning misunderstand his meaning. At the same time. He looked at Tao Ning with appreciation.

In his opinion, Tao Ning's beauty could not be ignored. Anyone with eyes would be shocked when they saw her.

"No." Tao Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Why would someone praise me? Even I feel that this body is quite awkward!"

The clothes were indeed good clothes, and the makeup was indeed very exquisite. But there is no problem with anyone else's body. The feeling on her body is just that uncomfortable. She did not dare to hope to be praised by others, as long as no one disliked it. When she looked at her with a more normal gaze, she was already satisfied.

Shi Dingliang saw the bitterness on Tao Ning's face and immediately regretted his words. "They did not praise you, that only means that they do not have good eyes. Ning, don't take it to heart."

"You can't blame them. If you want to blame them, blame me. Who asked me to not have the temperament that Celebrity should have and to say so many unpleasant words to myself... " No wonder it was someone else's. Even if it was her, when she heard so many bad words about a woman, when she looked at that woman again, her eyes would not be any better.

"No, Ning, how can this be blamed on you? It's all because of that bastard Gu Zhengchu. It has nothing to do with you." When Shi Dingliang heard Tao Ning blaming him, he couldn't help but feel injustice for her.

No matter what, this matter couldn't be blamed on Tao Ning. It was all Gu Zhengchu's fault!

"You already know?" A trace of surprise appeared in Tao Ning's eyes. She remembered that she did not see Shi Dingliang at that time. When she saw him come in with a smile, she thought he did not know.

When Shi Dingliang heard this, he put away the anger on his face. He lowered his head and said, "I heard that you were holding a ball here, so I wanted to come and take a look. I met Gu Zhengchu at the door, and when I came in, I heard the guests say..."

Shi Dingliang noticed Tao Ning's face darken, and just now he realized that his words were inappropriate. He quickly said, "But Ning, you must not be sad for a bastard like Gu Zhengchu. Otherwise, it will really be as he wished. He came here specially to stop you from returning to the Wei family. Stop you from getting what you deserve. "

Gu Zhengchu had always regarded Wei Tingjun as his enemy. This time, Tao Ning had returned as the only daughter of the Wei family. To Wei Tingjun, obtaining 20% of the shares of Jin Lan Company was like adding wings to a tiger. To Gu Zhengchu, it was an absolute threat. That was why he came here to talk about his relationship with Tao Ning. He wanted to ruin everything.

"Don't worry, I won't let him get away with it." Tao Ning nodded heavily. She would definitely let Gu Zhengchu know that after leaving him, she did not have a bad life. Instead, she was living very well.

"Ning, if you need my help in the future, just ask me directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." Shi Dingliang held Tao Ning's hands tightly and felt the coldness at the tips of her fingers. He looked at her with heartache.
