Ning Su complained, "What are you saying? I'm just stating the facts, how is that twisting the truth? Or we could call that server back and ask him if I'm telling the truth."
Did they even need to ask?
Just by looking at the server's expression, it was clear he wouldn't risk being fired to testify for her.
"How about we check the surveillance footage?"
Ning Su's expression flickered slightly. Although she hadn't been back to this club in a long time, she knew her sister's personality well...
There was definitely surveillance.
Seeing her sister's expression, Ning Xin understood immediately. She gave her a slightly helpless look and said to Shen Qingqing, "I've spoiled my sister too much, she can't stand any injustice... However, I also believe that since Miss Shen could say such things, there must be a misunderstanding."
"Sister!" Ning Su was naturally unwilling. "This was clearly her fault..."
"That's enough."
Ning Xin put on a stern face. Ning Su was still a little afraid, so she reluctantly shut her mouth.
"A guest is a guest. I'll arrange a private room for you to sit in." Ning Xin waved her hand, and someone immediately came to make arrangements.
She was full of sincerity, and Shen Qingqing didn't dwell on the matter. She glanced at Ning Su, who was unhappy, with a half-smile.
Once inside the private room, Ning Xin personally attended to her. The two women, each with their own charm, chatted and laughed together, their words subtly revealing their sharp edges.
Director Liu and Ning Su were left in the cold.
After their conversation, Shen Qingqing gained a preliminary understanding of Ning Xin.
This woman, who could manage such a club, was indeed as formidable as the rumors suggested, living up to her reputation.
Ning Xin also admired her. As she was leaving, Ning Xin proactively offered her contact information, "I'll invite you to our club next time. We have a gathering here once a month."
Shen Qingqing didn't say whether she would come or not, but readily exchanged contact details before leaving.
As soon as she left, Ning Su grumbled, "I really don't know what you admire about her, even inviting her to the gatherings here. Do you know how she bullied me?"
Ning Xin said sternly, "Don't think I don't know what happened. I didn't say anything in front of others to save your face."
She knew her sister too well.
While she loved her sister, it was precisely this excessive doting that had caused her sister's personality to shift from being originally well-behaved and sensible to arrogant and overbearing.
While saving face for her sister in front of outsiders, she still needed to reprimand her in private.
"Don't you dare cause trouble for me as soon as you get back."
Ning Su was displeased, "Sister, why are you talking to me like that? I just got back, how could I have caused trouble? She bumped into me."
"Do you really want me to check the surveillance footage?" She was still lying! Ning Xin was a little angry. "You studied abroad for so long, and all you learned was lying, being ignorant, and twisting the truth?"
Ning Su froze, her face turning a little pale.
A hint of realization flashed in Ning Xin's eyes. She realized she might have been too harsh and softened her tone, "Since you're back, stay by my side from now on."
Ning Su pouted and reluctantly nodded.
"I'll be going now." Seeing that the sisters' conversation didn't involve him, Director Liu decided to leave first.
"I'll escort you out."
As they walked to the door, Director Liu said, "The woman who came to the club today is the one who's been causing me trouble recently."
Ning Xin hummed, "This woman is not simple."
"She's just a woman, what can she do?" Director Liu was dismissive.
Ning Xin looked at him, "Do you look down on women?"
Director Liu stiffened. "No, I don't look down on women. I just think not everyone has your capabilities."
Feeling guilty, he quickly flattered her.
He almost forgot, the woman in front of him was no ordinary woman. His current status was largely due to her maneuvering behind the scenes.
Ning Xin snorted, "You need to be careful of this woman in the future. If it really comes to a fight, you're no match for her."
Her tone was incredibly certain, making Director Liu feel underestimated. "How am I not her match? I know she's with Fu Jingshu, but so what? I blocked her last time when she wanted to see her father, and in the end, she couldn't do anything."
Ning Xin looked at his inexplicably confident expression and asked one question, "But didn't she still see him?"
Director Liu choked.
"And she even found out about this place," Ning Xin's expression was cold. "I must warn you. Our business is a secret. If anyone discovers any clues... you know the consequences."
A bead of cold sweat dripped from Director Liu's forehead.
Whether it was her tone that scared him or the so-called consequences she mentioned... Director Liu's face turned a little pale.
Ning Xin softened her tone, "I'm saying this for your own good. You should know that to reach your current position, you didn't rely solely on yourself."
"...Yes."
Director Liu said it through gritted teeth.
...
The more Ning Su thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Her return and reunion with her family had been a happy occasion, but it was ruined by that woman.
She decided to have someone investigate the other party's identity.
To her surprise, the investigation revealed something astonishing.
She was Fu Jingshu's wife!
Ning Xin returned home to find her sister looking at documents. She strode over and snatched the documents away. "What are you doing looking at this stuff out of the blue?"
She casually threw the documents into the trash can.
Ning Su's face darkened, "You already knew they were married."
Ning Xin remained silent.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ning Su stood up abruptly and questioned, "You knew, you knew how I felt about him!"
Seeing her frantic expression, Ning Xin was startled and quickly hugged her. "Calm down, I didn't intentionally hide it from you."
"Then why didn't you say anything?" Ning Su's voice was almost a scream, sharp and piercing. "If you had told me sooner, I could have come back earlier!"
Ning Xin sighed, "Even if you had come back, could you have stopped him?"
If he wanted to get married, was she going to crash the wedding?
And come to think of it... her sister might actually do that.
But it was precisely because of this that she didn't dare to tell her sister the news. "Susu, I know you've always had feelings for him, but he's already married, you should let it go."
"I won't!" Ning Su said stubbornly, "I've lived for over twenty years, and I've only liked one person. I came back this time for him!"
Ning Xin advised, "Before he got married, I didn't care who you liked. But now that they're together, you can't be the third party."
The word "third party" truly stung Ning Su. She broke free, "That's my business. You haven't cared about me since you sent me abroad, and you don't need to manage me now!"
"Ning Su!" Ning Xin said each word deliberately.
Seeing the hurt and anger on her sister's face, Ning Su finally realized what she had said. She covered her face and cried.
