Chapter 852: Conflict

Xia Ning went silent for a while and picked up the call.

h.e.l.lo, Xiao Ke! Shen Tianlangs voice came from the phone immediately.

Yes, Xia Ning answered softly.

Sorry.

Xia Ning leaned against the couch and asked, Why are you apologizing to me?

I didnt expect someone to use my resignation to throw dirt at you.

Its not your fault, Xia Ning said calmly. So you dont have to take responsibility for others mistakes.

But

Xia Ning closed her eyes slightly and did not speak.

My mother is missing. I cant find her anywhere, Shen Tianlang said suddenly.

You think I hid her? Xia Ning asked back.

No, its not like that. Shen Tianlangs voice on the phone sounded anxious as if he was afraid she would misunderstand. Xiao Ke, my mother has been holding a grudge against the Shen Group getting stolen. Thats why she went overboard. I hope you dont mind.

Xia Ning opened her eyes suddenly and looked to the front with cold eyes. So you still suspect that I hid your mum.

Xiao Ke

Xia Ning suddenly felt a bit weary. She was grateful for everything Shen Tianlang had done for her and wanted to be good to him. But he turned her down. Now he suspected that she had hurt his mother.

Was she so crazy in his eyes?!

I dont know about your mother. It doesnt matter if you believe me or not. Also, Im not an ungrateful person. Ive been keeping the position of the general manager of Huaining Group for you. I hope you can consider this carefully, Xia Ning said coldly and hung up directly.

Zheng Ziming saw Xia Nings face and knew she was not happy. Just now, he heard Shen Tianlangs words. Shen Tianlang was a good person. This kind of good person wanted things to be perfect. But how could there be such a good thing in the world where everything followed the heart? He had always hated Shen Tianlangs indecisive personality. This kind of personality could not make things perfect and would hurt everyone.

Asteria, dont be mad! Zheng Ziming comforted her in a low voice.

Xia Ning shook her head. She was not mad. After all, he was her benefactor. She was just a bit weary.

She frowned and changed the topic. Wheres Wen Jing?

She went to the hospital! Zheng Ziming sighed and looked at Xia Ning. Her brother got into a fight and was hospitalized. She went to take care of the patient.

Ok. Xia Ning nodded. Her familys financial situation is not that good. Help her.

I know. Zheng Ziming sighed. I dont know what that girl did in her past life to make you think so highly of her.

Dont you think highly of her too? Xia Ning asked back.

Me? Ha Zheng Ziming sneered and looked as if he had seen a ghost. Are you joking with me? Do you think I care about a wild girl who has no experience and no IQ? Asteria, I think you should clean your eyes. Otherwise

Stop! Xia Ning interrupted Zheng Ziming directly. She felt like her ears were getting calluses. She raised her eyebrows and saw his look of disdain. She smiled calmly. Dont deny it too fast. Accidents often happen. As she spoke, she stood up and walked out.

Zheng Ziming was caught by surprise. Seeing her back, he said loudly, Asteria, what do you mean? Come back!

Xia Ning turned around and darted a look at him. She blinked at him. Im going to film the MV. Remember to prepare a press conference for me. As she spoke, she opened the door directly.

Zheng Ziming clenched his fists and looked at Xia Nings back. He said unwillingly, What the heck? How could I fall for Wen Jing? Asteria, come back and explain yourself! But just as he finished, the door closed.

Zheng Ziming sat down in anger. He covered his face and looked dispirited. Did she really not know, or did she pretend not to know? He actually
