Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Living Valuably_1
Qiao Ning was staying in her old bedroom.
Aunt Liu brought a dical kit intending to apply dicine for her, but Qiao Ning refused, “I’ll do it myself. Aunt Liu, you should rest.”
Aunt Liu seed to understand sothing from her manner and left without asking more.
Then Qiao Ning began applying the dicine herself in front of the mirror.
Her face had been slapped, leaving it a bit swollen and bruised, with a cut at the corner of her mouth.
When Qiao Ning applied dicine to the cut, it was so painful that she teared up.
...
It wasn’t really that painful, she just inexplicably wanted to cry…
She never imagined she would face such a situation. If Chai Xiyang had not arrived in ti, the consequences would be unthinkable…
Nevertheless, her nstrual period hadn’t ended yet, so the offenders probably wouldn’t have done anything further to her.
She was more afraid that she wouldn’t have been able to get out of that dark barbershop.
Thinking about how dangerous and difficult the outside world is, Qiao Ning realized how hard it is for soone without anything to survive in this world.
Unless one is a favored child of God, rely struggling for a livelihood could take a toll on a person’s life.
Not to ntion having the ti and energy to realize one’s dreams.
But at the beginning, she naively thought that as long as she could survive, she could gradually realize her dreams.
Looking back, she realizes how naive she was.
She had struggled for a livelihood before, but Xiaotang helped her solve the biggest problem, which was accommodation.
She didn’t have to live in the open. With her considerable savings, she was able to live decently with just a bit of part-ti work.
So she still naively thought that she could live decently like that…
How foolish she was!
Having nothing, even getting a al was difficult, let alone living well.
It wasn’t until now, after experiencing so much, that Qiao Ning understood how cruel the world was.
Especially cruel to the poor!
Qiao Ning wiped her tears, determined not to make things difficult for herself anymore.
If Chai Xiyang wanted to cooperate with her, she would cooperate. After all, she was only selling the fruits of her labor. The money was earned rightfully, why not accept it?
Besides, she didn’t want to continue living in hardship.
Otherwise, in this life, not to ntion getting back on her feet, she wouldn’t even be able to clear her na.
What if she found her child and couldn’t afford to raise him?
The road ahead was long, she couldn’t waste her life away like this.
Once Qiao Ning made up her mind, she stopped struggling. She took a shower and went straight to bed.
Lying on the luxurious, soft bed, covered with a smooth silk quilt, Qiao Ning felt much more at ease.
She had also made up her mind.
She didn’t need a luxurious life, she just wanted to live with dignity and feel valued.
That was enough…
That night, Qiao Ning’s mindset and thoughts underwent a significant change. At the sa ti, her fate was slowly changing as well.
***********************
After a night’s rest, when Qiao Ning woke up the next morning, she found that the swelling on her face had disappeared.
Only the cut at the corner of her mouth hadn’t healed completely yet. However, the wound was so small that it was almost unnoticeable.
After freshening up and coming to the living room, she saw Chai Xiyang leaning against the sofa, lazily drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.
Qiao Ning hesitated for a mont, then sat down across from him and asked in a low voice, “You ntioned cooperation last ti. How exactly do we cooperate?”
Chai Xiyang raised his eyes to gaze at her, but said nothing.
