Chapter 297: The Dignity of the Female Lead

Ever since Qi Sheng found out that Ning Shu wasn’t Mu Yanmeng, his attitude towards her took a complete turn. Whenever she brewed him tea, he would either complain that it was too hot or too cold. He’d also cover his nose and straightforwardly complain that she stank.

He was close to just saying, you’re so frickin’ ugly, why don’t you just die?

But he still didn’t chase Ning Shu out and kept her as his personal maid. It was probably due to what was left of the ties between the male and female lead.

Ning Shu continued to draw black circles around her eyes and color her lips bright red in order to swagger around in front of Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng’s attitude towards her had become very poor, but Li Yufei’s attitude towards her improved by a huge margin. Li Yufei was being so friendly that Ning Shu felt goosebumps.

She couldn’t understand what Li Yufei was thinking. Could it be that Li Yufei really wanted to become best friends with her? Could it be that Li Yufei felt that her ugly appearance served to emphasize her beauty?

“Here, Xiao Hong, this purse is for you. There’s some loose silver inside, so you should go buy yourself better quality cosmetics.” Li Yufei handed Ning Shu an embroidered purse.

In response to the charity of the supporting female lead, any female lead that had dignity should have showed backbone and rejected this offering to uphold their dignity.

Ning Shu hastily accepted the purse and smiled delightedly. “Thank you, Miss Yufei.” She opened the purse right in front of Li Yufei. There wasn’t a lot of silver inside, but she still gave Li Yufei a bright atrocious grin before asking with a sneaky smirk, “Does Miss Yufei need this servant to do something?”

Something like buying drugs or those sorts of fun tools? Ning Shu was very willing to help.

Li Yufei took a few steps back and used a handkerchief to cover her nose as she said, “There’s no need. It’s just that I noticed you were using cheap cosmetics, so I wanted you to buy some better ones. After all, you are Big Brother Sheng’s personal maid. Your appearance also reflects on Big Brother Sheng’s face. Even if you don’t care how you look, you should think about Big Brother Sheng’s reputation.”

When facing the supporting female lead’s insults, the female lead should defend herself unyieldingly like ‘you can insult me as a person, but I will not allow you to insult my dignity.’

“Miss Yufei, although I’m ugly, I still have my pride.” Ning Shu lifted up her chest and brushed it against Li Yufei’s chest. Although I’m ugly, my chest is bigger than yours.

Li Yufei: …

Qi Sheng walked in. When he saw that the two of them were together, he gave a cold humph towards Ning Shu before asking Li Yufei gently, “Is the house comfortable?”

Li Yufei smiled so gently in response that she seemed bathed in a halo of warm light.

“Big Brother Sheng, Yufei has had the meal prepared. Let’s eat together,” Li Yufei asked shyly.

Qi Sheng shot a look at Ning Shu before taking Li Yufei’s hand. “Yufei knows my tastes the best. The things you’ve made are definitely delicious.”

Li Yufei’s smile became even more bashful, but Ning Shu couldn’t understand what there was to be embarrassed about.

Qi Sheng then shouted towards Ning Shu, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry and come serve us. You’re currently a personal maid!”

Ning Shu pursed her bloody red lips. Li Yufei hastily said, “For better or for worse, she’s your personal maid. If she’s done anything wrong, just instruct her carefully for next time.”

Qi Sheng glanced at Ning Shu coldly before saying to Li Yufei, “You’re truly the most kind-hearted person I know. However, some people just don’t change no matter how many times they’re corrected. If it weren’t for those twenty taels, I would’ve already driven her out.”

NIng Shu: …

It felt like the current Qi Sheng was really gross. This guy probably felt like she had lied to him and tricked him into falling in love with her. What fart. He was clearly the one that wanted to trick her into falling in love with him. Now that he was hit with the backlash, he was taking it out on her? How shameless.

Qi Sheng and Li Yufei walked into the room while holding hands. Ning Shu followed behind them, then started grabbing dishes for the two. Qi Sheng had a disgusted expression as if he couldn’t stand the smell coming from her, but he still insisted on making her serve them.

He must be mentally ill.
