Chapter 776: Enemies on a Narrow Road 2
"She has the nerve to seduce Brother Nan and isn’t ashamed, so why should I lose face?" Cheng Xining glared at Shen Mianmian, wishing she could stab her to death.
Shen Mianmian was helpless. "Miss Cheng, regarding this matter, I have nothing I want to explain. If you would like to have a talk with me, I don’t mind, but we need to schedule another time. Right now, I have something to do; I need to take this elderly gentleman home first."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xining became even more furious and snapped angrily, "Just some old coot, why should his time be more precious than mine? Why should he be sent home first?"
Hearing this, Elder He couldn’t help but glance at her. In his presence, Cheng Xining was usually well-behaved and sweet-talking, but after all, he had watched her grow up and knew what kind of person she was.
In the past, he had only thought that Cheng Xining was overly spoiled, but today he realized that it was not just a simple matter of her being spoiled.
Shen Mianmian’s voice grew colder, "To you, your time might seem more valuable; to me, the elderly gentleman’s time is more precious. If you want to talk, you will have to wait until after I send the elder home. If you don’t want to talk, then forget it."
"Shen Mianmian, where do you get the audacity to talk to me like that?" Cheng Xining was so angry she almost jumped with fury. She had been coddled by everyone as she grew up; no one had dared to speak to her this way.
"Why can’t I talk to you like this?" Shen Mianmian’s tone and attitude both became much more assertive. "Even though I was born in the countryside, I don’t think I’m inferior to anyone. Our country doesn’t differentiate between noble and lowly races, so, Miss Cheng, we are equals, even if you don’t believe so, but it is the fact."
She had always accommodated Cheng Xining, not because she was afraid of Cheng Xining, but because she had always thought Cheng Xining was Brother He’s first love, which was why she had been so considerate.
Now that she knew she wasn’t, there was no reason to indulge her.
