Ning Xixi raised an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curved just right, "What rumors?"
Ma Yiqing's dark eyes whirled around as she affectionately linked arms with Ning Xixi, "Don't you know? It's all over Ying City's high society that your stepmother abused you, drove you out of the Ning Family, and cut off your financial support. You can only maintain a living by working... Ah, Xixi, you've really suffered. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have helped you..."
Ning Xixi discreetly withdrew her hand, sneering internally. What help? Weren't they just here to mock her?
"Thanks for your concern, but it's not necessary."
"Xixi, why are you still pretending with me? If you're in trouble, you can tell me, I'll definitely help you. Stop working in this dirty, cramped martial arts hall. It's so embarrassing!" Ma Yiqing feigned concern as she called over to a robust man nearby, "Ming Xuan, come and persuade Xixi!"
