C5 None of That Mattered

Under the lights of the corridor, Ning Xia was wearing a man's black suit and looked even thinner. The man was talking to her with his head down and his expression seemed to be comforting her.

Soong Yichen narrowed his eyes. He still had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He grinded his teeth. No matter how he looked at it, it was a dazzling scene.

"Miss Ning, you are quite capable. " His hands were in the pockets of the long trench coat. He took a few steps forward and glanced at Ning Xia. He said with an expressionless face.

Ning Xia raised her head and looked at the uninvited guest in front of her. Her expression became even uglier.

Gu Linyu frowned and was about to speak up for Ning Xia when he saw that Soong Yichen did not even look at him. He reached out and grabbed Ning Xia's arm and pulled her forward.

"Just like that? You don't forget to seduce men no matter where you go?"

Ning Xia was confused by his pulling and struggled, "I don't know what Mr. Soong means. "

He sneered and casually glanced at the suit she was wearing. "In this kind of place, pretending to be pitiful is also good. "

Ning Xia was stunned. After such a long time, he still stabbed her in the heart with every sentence.

But what he did to her, was not cruel enough? Now that she had fallen into such a situation, was he not satisfied?

Why was he still pressing forward step by step, finding every opportunity to humiliate her?

"Yes, I'm lowly, I'm loose, I pretend to be pitiful to win the sympathy of men. " Ning Xia raised her eyes and calmly looked at Soong Yichen.

"But what does this have to do with Mr. Soong?"

When she finished speaking, the force that was restricting Ning Xia's arm suddenly loosened. Soong Yichen's expression changed unpredictably and finally revealed a cold smile.

"It has nothing to do with me. What about Qingchen?" His eyes were cold.

Soong Qingchen's name was like a taboo that could not be touched between them. Once it was mentioned, it would be out of control.

Ning Xia's hands, which were hanging by her side, tightened. This name had brought up too many nightmares for her.

"If you are like this, I'm afraid that even his soul will feel uneasy when he is underground. "

"I. . . " Ning Xia struggled to open her mouth, but she could not say a single word.

She did not think that explaining would be of any use in front of this man.

"You are his person in life. Death is his ghost. " Soong Yichen took a step forward and looked down at her, warning her word by word.

"The wedding was also held. Miss Ning's memory will not be that bad, right?"

He raised his chin. The dark black trench coat made his expression even colder.

"Enough, Mr. Soong. Please stop. " Gu Linyu saw this and frowned deeply. He protected Ning Xia and protected her by his side.

Unexpectedly, his action made Soong Yichen's face turn colder.

"Let go. " He lifted his eyelids, and his gaze finally fell upon Gu Linyu.

Gu Linyu was unmoved, but Ning Xia could feel Soong Yichen's suppressed anger.

She knew very well who he was. If he touched his reverse scale a little, perhaps he would do anything to take revenge on her and the people around her.

Ning Xia did not want to implicate Gu Linyu because of this. She closed her eyes and slowly avoided Gu Linyu's hand, returning the coat to him.

"Thank you so much for tonight. " After saying that, she did not want to stay any longer and left the clubhouse with her head down.

Gu Linyu looked at her retreating figure and felt his heart ache.

"What a unique taste. " Soong Yichen glanced at Gu Linyu's expression, his tone carrying a trace of ridicule.

Gu Linyu turned around and wanted to say something, but he left without looking back.

He frowned slightly and followed Ning Xia in the end.

Back in the changing room, Ning Xia quickly changed her clothes. Before she could tidy up her makeup, the supervisor rushed in angrily and scolded her without any explanation. "What happened to you today? A good performance was ruined just like that. Do you know how much loss this brought to the nightclub?"

"I'm sorry, the mask suddenly loosened. I. . . " Ning Xia frowned and carefully explained.

In the face of livelihood, she had no choice but to temporarily put her dignity aside.

" Don't explain to me. My temple is small and can't afford to hire a great Buddha like you. Miss Ning, right? Pack your things and scram immediately! " The supervisor's face was red, and her cursing mixed with the noisy music outside. She felt a headache coming on.

Before she could say anything, the supervisor had already slammed the door and left.

She sat in front of the make-up mirror dejectedly. A sharp female voice was heard at this moment. "Sister Lily, you're the best. No one in the nightclub will dare to steal your limelight this time. "

"Of course. The young lady of the Ning family. She's not yet a poor pheasant. Huh. " Lily crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her tone was full of pride.

Ning Xia instantly understood. Her mask was the one that she had tampered with when she had used the excuse of tidying it up for her!

She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly stood up. She looked coldly at the woman in front of her.

"Yo, you haven't left yet. " Lily stroked her hair that was scattered across her shoulders in an amorous manner. There was a trace of ridicule in her tone.

"If I leave, how would I know your true face?"

"Alright, stop trying to talk too fast. Now that you're no longer a member of the nightclub, get out of here. Don't take over our place. " Lily did not hesitate to send her away.

The woman beside her pushed Ning Xia away and threw her things on the ground.

Ever since she came out of prison, she had long forgotten what was the limelight.

She pursed her slightly pale lips and still bent down to pick up the things before walking away with heavy steps.

Outside the nightclub door, a cool breeze blew past. Only then did she realize that she had lost her job. Cary's small amount of savings could not last for long at all.

She sighed softly, completely unaware that she had fallen into another man's line of sight.

Gu Linyu stood in a corner and looked at the young lady of Ning family, who had once been elegant and dazzling, now looked so thin and haggard that it was hard to imagine how much suffering she had to endure in prison for the past few years.

He opened his mouth and said with a rough voice, "Ning. . . Miss Ning. "

"It's you?" Ning Xia followed the voice and turned her head. It happened to touch the strong emotions in his eyes that he did not have time to hide.

"Yes, I heard that you were fired?" Gu Linyu nodded. He sounded gentle and kept a distance between them.

Ning Xia's heart was filled with bitterness again. She lowered her head and pursed her red lips but did not reply.

She saw that the pair of exquisite black leather shoes were closer to her. She subconsciously stepped back.

Seeing this, Gu Linyu's heart ached even more. He could only stand still and say, "Don't be afraid, I have no other intentions. I just feel that I am also responsible for tonight's matter. Coincidentally, my company has an empty position. If you are willing, I can provide you with a new job. "

"Me?" Ning Xia looked up at him in disbelief. After hesitating for a while, she still said, "But I. . . Have been in prison. "

With this stain, no proper business would be willing to hire her.

"I know, but it doesn't matter. I only care about the character and ability of the employees. Other things are not important. " Gu Linyu answered straightforwardly.

Ning Xia looked at each other and pinched her fingers. She hesitated and also wavered.

Just as she was about to make up her mind, she heard the man's voice by her ear.
