Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Sudden Fainting Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Sudden Fainting ng Jingfen: “…”
ng Chuyue was really out of line, wasn’t she?
She actually encouraged an outsider to swindle her own biological father’s money.
Wait, she doesn’t even want a cent of the money she gets back, and she’s offering a reward?
Is she sick?
No, she must not be short on cash.
Oh dear, that Aunt Qin must be a tycoon or sothing, right?
ng Jingfen’s mind churned with thoughts of using ng Chuyue to climb up to “Aunt Qin”.
Her eyes darted around, then rested on ng Chuyue’s plump red lips, and she asked in surprise, “Nice lipstick?
Don’t tell you’ve put on lipstick too.”
If so, the lipstick on ng Chuyue’s lips looked too natural.
Indeed, it was “nice” lipstick, much better than hers that never seed to apply evenly no matter what.
ng Chuyue nodded with a smile, “Of course, otherwise how could my lips look this pretty?”
As she spoke, she puckered her lips playfully, quite pleased with herself.
“I thought you were just naturally beautiful,” ng Jingfen muttered to herself, then said with a smile, “Can you lend the lipstick now?”
ng Chuyue shook her head, “I only have one used lipstick right now.
Like a toothbrush, lipstick should not be shared.
How about this, if you take good care of my mom, I’ll…
bring you a new one the day after tomorrow?”
“You’re not sick, I don’t mind, just give it to .
But in a few days, you still have to bring a new one.”
“Alright.”
ng Chuyue hesitated for a mont, went back to her room, and handed over a used lipstick to ng Jingfen.
This lipstick was from her past life.
She was young and healthy now, she didn’t need lipstick, and it would just sit unused, so giving it to ng Jingfen didn’t hurt.
She had already rubbed off the brand mark on the lipstick with her consciousness in her space.
To ng Jingfen, it seed like a brandless old lipstick.
But she didn’t care.
She just wanted lips as lovely as ng Chuyue’s.
And the lipstick indeed satisfied her, as she felt much prettier after applying it.
ng Chuyue also worried about being stopped by her grandmother and the others, so she quickly spoke a few words to ng Wanhua, gathered a few things, and prepared to check out the progress of the Fruit Store’s renovation.
ng Wanhua watched her look back at every step, seemingly reluctant to leave, and with a softened heart, said, “Your grandma won’t arrive until one o’clock in the afternoon.
There’s still ti.
I’ll take you and your sister to the mall ahead, and buy you both so clothes.”
Lin Youdong and Zhao Sulan had just left; they lived in an affluent district far from the Phoenix District where the common folk resided.
She figured it should be safe to take ng Chuyue to the nearby mall for a stroll without running into them.
Before ng Chuyue could reply, ng Jingfen clapped her hands joyfully, “Great, Chuyue has good taste.
Let’s go together and help pick out so pretty clothes.”
ng Chuyue shot her an annoyed look but was inwardly delighted.
Spending more ti with her mother was certainly welco.
However, she rembered not to get too close to ng Wanhua after leaving the house, and with a straight face said, “Sure thing, Auntie.
I’ll be really good.”
ng Wanhua was amused by her cleverness.
ng Jingfen was already fantasizing about how beautiful she would look in her new clothes when they hadn’t even left the district, ng Wanhua suddenly collapsed.
ng Chuyue, terrified, lifted ng Wanhua onto her back and ran out of the district.
ng Jingfen, unaware that ng Wanhua had leukemia, wasn’t too worried, thinking it was just anemia.
At that ti, Hai City already had taxis with official markings, but they were scarce.
Even fewer passed through a common district like Phoenix District, so as ng Chuyue ran toward the hospital with ng Wanhua on her back, she kept looking around for a taxi to hail.
Several district residents who knew ng Wanhua saw this and looked at one another, taking a couple of steps toward her, but in the end did nothing.
