"Sister, which one do you like? I specially chose both."
Zhang Ning smiled arrogantly, as if she had already decided to watch her make a fool of herself.
She didn't know that the cupboard, which she thought was full of rags, was filled with jewelry and clothes she couldn't afford.
Qi Ying sneered. She picked up the clothes from the bed and stuffed them into Zhang Ning's arms. "I don't need these. Take them back."
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you're going to my concert wearing the unorthodox rags of yours? Are you trying to embarrass the Zhang family?" Zhang Ning reprimanded.
"To think that Mom and I helped you out of kindness, but you treated our kindness like this and even said that you didn't need it." Zhang Ning unfolded her dress and showed it to Qi Ying.
She could already imagine how ugly Qi Ying would look in these two clothes.
This was great. When the time came, she would stun everyone. Qi Ying, whom she hated the most, would be despised by everyone. Just thinking about it made her happy.
She did not notice that Qi Ying was looking at her with sympathy and pity.
Qi Ying had just performed a divination in her heart, using Zhang Ning's astrology.
On the few days of the concert, Venus happened to be retrograde, and Venus and Mars collided.
In other words, her partner may have been impure, and such behavior may have be damaging to the concert.
Qi Ying sighed in her heart. She had already reminded Zhang Ning of many things, but Zhang Ning had never listened to her. It was normal for such an ungrateful person to encounter some evil people.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhang Ning became even more smug. "I've shown you my clothes. Don't be ungrateful."
"Take it back. I'm not wearing it." Qi Ying threw Zhang Ning and her clothes out of the room.
Zhang Ning hugged her clothes and stomped her feet anxiously at the door.
"Qi Ying, don't be ungrateful. These clothes are all custom-made. Do you know how expensive they are?"
Qi Ying was annoyed by her shouting outside. She opened the door and took out the clothes in her hand. There were several layers of thick creases on the bra.
Zhang Ning's chest was not big enough, and her waist was not thin enough. She used such techniques to make herself look curvy.
"You don't have to give me your clothes. I don't have creases in my clothes, and I don't need them."
Zhang Ning was caught off guard and glared at Qi Ying.
Qi Ying was wearing a loose school uniform dress. Her entire body was hidden in the black uniform dress, and it was impossible to tell how good her figure was.
Hmph, she did not believe that Qi Ying could compare to her!
Two days passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the concert.
When the concert began, Qi Ying did not appear.
Zhang Ning played on stage, feeling very proud. This person really didn't dare to come.
The Zhang parents were a little angry. They called the butler back to take a look a few times, but the butler said that Qi Ying was not at home.
Zhang Heng sat in his seat and looked at Meng Lin with a serious expression. "Qi Ying's name is on the list this time. If we can't call Qi Ying over, what will these famous families think of our family?"
Meng Lin apologized softly, "I'm sorry. I was negligent. I've already asked the butler to send someone to look for her. Qi Ying left early. I don't know what she went to do."
Their voices were a little loud, covering the sound of the performance. The invited elders beside them looked sideways.
It was their daughter's concert, yet they were still making so much noise here. The Zhang family was indeed not presentable.
Soon, the concert ended. Zhang Ning returned backstage to change.
The banquet was about to begin.
The concert was just a gimmick. The real focus was on the banquet later. At the banquet, her parents would announce her engagement, so she specially chose an exceptionally gorgeous dress. The dress was made of a slim-fitting material and was inlaid with sparkling diamonds.
The neckline of the dress was small and it was sleeveless, just enough to conceal her flat-chested deficiencies. She also threw on a feathered jacket to hide her inadequately full hips.
When Yan Bin walked backstage, Zhang Ning was zipping up her back. He reached out and brushed his little finger across the girl's smooth back.
The closeness felt so good.
Zhang Ning had indeed moved him today, but it was only for a moment.
It was very demeaning to pretend to be in love with such a shallow woman. He hoped that these things would end quickly and he could live the life of a womanizer.
