She Lives without Regret in This Life

”What are you staring at? Keep it up and I’ll dig your eyeballs out.” Qin Shuang snapped. The way Sheng Ning was looking at her made her whole body feel uncomfortable, like she was being regarded as an ant.

What the hell—before, she was obviously the one who used this kind of look on other people.

”What’s wrong with you?” Guo Chunhua hated it most when people put on that superior attitude. ”So rude. And you’re still from the Qin Family? You’re a complete disgrace.”

At the mention of the Qin Family, Qin Shuang gave a cold snort and turned her head away. She felt a little guilty—after all, the Qin Family was now tottering in the storm, her younger brother’s situation hadn’t been fully investigated and they’d been implicated. It was no longer the Qin Family of before.

If her brother’s situation couldn’t be handled properly, she really wouldn’t be able to compare to Sheng Ning, let alone Sheng An. Forget it! She’d just swallow this for now. As long as her older sister could marry the Living Yama, would she still need to fear a mere Sheng Ning then?

Hmph!

”Thank you, Sister Guo.” Sheng Ning thanked her softly.

”You’re welcome; she was way out of line.” Guo Chunhua patted her shoulder and said disapprovingly, ”Sheng Ning, why are you still so easygoing? Next time someone bullies you, just go up and greet them with a big slap. See who dares after that.”

”Okay!” Sheng Ning agreed cleanly.

At a glance, Guo Chunhua could tell she was just humoring her and hadn’t taken her words to heart at all. She said, hating the fact that the iron wouldn’t turn into steel, ”Look at you—anyway, you’re the wife of the General Team’s leader now. What right does someone like Qin Shuang have to talk down to you?”

Guo Chunhua’s voice wasn’t low; Qin Shuang heard every word clearly, and turned her head in anger to glare at the two of them. ”I say, Auntie, where’s your own upbringing? Gossiping about people behind their backs.”

Sheng Ning couldn’t take it anymore. Her beautiful starry eyes fixed on Qin Shuang, and she warned coldly, ”If I were you, I’d behave myself. Otherwise...” She didn’t finish the sentence, but the warning was obvious.

Right now, Qin Yue’s case was still in the hands of the Northern District. As for how the investigation would turn out, Su Hai had at least half the say. If they really provoked Sheng Ning into losing her temper, the consequences would indeed be serious.

”Fine, you’re ruthless. We’ll see.” Qin Shuang clearly knew she shouldn’t keep arguing, but she still couldn’t swallow her anger.

Ever since the An’an incident back then, they’d already formed a bitter grudge.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside. Sheng Ning caught sight of a tall, straight-backed man carrying a woman covered in blood out of a vehicle. Seemingly disgusted by the slow speed of the emergency gurney, he directly held her in his arms and led the rush toward the emergency room.

Sheng Ning felt as if she were seeing things; she couldn’t make out the man’s face clearly. She rubbed her eyes mechanically, forced herself to open them wide, and finally saw his features.

Handsome, with firm, sharp lines. His tightly pressed lips and anxious eyes showed just how much he cared about the woman in his arms.

Sheng Ning had always had a strange, instinctive trust in Xu Qigang. She trusted him the way she loved him. She firmly believed that her love for him could withstand the test of time and the wear of the years.

Yet... this in front of her said otherwise.

Time was the objective factor; Qin Xue, this love rival, was the decisive one.

Before she’d even had the chance to fight back, Qin Xue had already rushed to take her place inside his life.

Heh... Sheng Ning let out a cold laugh, her still-radiant face curling into a mocking arc. She suddenly realized that she had no way to fight back—and couldn’t fight back.

In her previous life, she’d cared so much about Meng Ping that she’d gone mad for him, even to the point of clashing with blades. And the result? Didn’t she still end up with that kind of ending? She couldn’t even get an extra glance from Meng Ping.
