Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 98 - New Job

"Cousin, did she accept your apology?" Yun Qian was just about to enter her room to rest when she saw Ning Xiaoruan standing in the hallway.

Ning Xiaoruan replied listlessly, "I don't know."

Seeing the credit card in his hand, a strange expression appeared on Yun Qian's face. "You weren't thinking of gifting the card as an apology, right?"

"I wasn't. I only asked her what she liked so that I could go buy it."

Her lips twitched. Not even a drunk would be that blunt. "What did she say?"

"She said she liked my sister, and isn't that you? How could I dare to buy you? That's a sky-high price, I..."

"Wait!" Yun Qian stopped him by raising her hand. "Tell me her exact words."

Ning Xiaoruan blinked. What's with that face, Cousin? Pulled a muscle? But, he still did what she'd asked and repeated Xu Jiaojiao's words.

"Pfft! Hahaha..." Yun Qian lost all of her virtuous demeanor as she held her stomach with a hand and banged the wall with the other. She couldn't stop laughing.

"What's going on?" The Ning couple had heard her unrestrained laughter before they'd arrived, yet even now, she was still laughing.

"I don't know." Ning Xiaoruan shrugged.

The girl held her stomach while laughing through gasps. "Cousin just went to apologize to Xu Jiaojiao. He asked her what she liked so he could go buy it. Then, she answered with 'Like your sister'. Haha, this guy thinks she really likes his sister. And, he just told me that he can't afford me. Ah, I can't take it! I'm going to laugh again!" The girl laughed all the way to her bedroom.　

Hearing this, the corner of the Ning couple's lips also raised slightly. This brat must be a fake son!

"If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn't have sent you abroad to study. All that studying got to your head," Mister Ning lamented.

"How?! I graduated without a hitch, while some classmates still haven't!" Ning Xiaoruan said sourly.

"You didn't learn any of their craftiness and studied until you lost your senses. How will you take over your father's business like this? If we're gone, won't those geezers finish you off?" The more he said, the more annoyed he became. Seeing her son standing dumbly, Madam Ning pulled her husband to their room.

Ning Xiaoruan stared blankly as his parents entered their room. He could still hear them talking before they closed the door.

"Wife, should we have another child?"

"When we get back, we should go get checked out."

What just happened? Ning Xiaoruan ran up the stairs in search of that self-proclaimed intelligent cousin of his.

Shen Zhining heard what had transpired, then gazed silently at Ning Xiaoruan.

What? What? Ning Xiaoruan's heart did flips under his gaze. His cousin's face conveyed serious pondering whether he should save him.

"Cousin, what are you thinking about?" Ning Xiaoruan asked nervously.

"I'm wondering if there's a possibility of giving you a brain transplant."

"..." Ning Xiaoruan felt a blade run through his heart.

"You don't need to write a report."

"Really?" Ning Xiaoruan's eyes lit up. Did his cousin grow a conscience and decide to treat him well?
