My Life with Narration

Chapter 597 - 588: Personal Opinion on Ning Tong

There’s no denying that, due to a little action on his part, Zhang Chao’s entire family was not only impacted economically, but the relationship between Zhang Chao and his wife began to develop a rift after a few incidents.

The bonds between people aren’t cut in a single moment, but result from repeated disappointments over time.

Moreover, the so-called rift is like a seed; unless you eliminate it, it won’t disappear over time—instead, it will only become more severe.

The next day, on the tenth day of the lunar new year, Su Qing lay around at home all day. To be honest, he quite enjoyed staying at home when Shen Yi wasn’t around, at least someone cooked for him, and he could be lazy.

But there was an annoying woman with a phone, streaming live everywhere—yes, it was Su He.

Since Su Qing wouldn’t join her live stream, she just forced her way in. Back when Su Qing was riding Tang Nan’s popularity wave, how humble he was! But now Su He was completely righteous, loving to stream live right next to him, not minding even when he kicked her twice, refusing to leave.

When that didn’t work, she’d bring Da Huang over to sit in front of the camera and interact with the fans, and it was quite effective.

After all, Da Huang is a celebrity in the pet world, no...it’s a famous dog.

There are very few dogs on the entire internet with a fame that could match its own, so it has quite a number of followers.

Male fans on the screen asked Da Huang to perform licking silk stockings outside, while girls said they had black silk and welcome it to come lick.

The fans were happy, Da Huang got a chicken leg, Su He gained followers, made money, and only Su Qing remained with a dark face.

If he weren’t so lazy, he would have sent Da Huang to work.

Another day passed this way, and Su He gained another ten thousand followers. The next day, as she wanted to continue to ride the wave, Su Qing ran away directly.

However, he didn’t run away just to stop Su He from gaining popularity; he had received a phone call.

At noon, in a relatively upscale secret recipe restaurant in Jiangcheng City, Su Qing sat on a chair, watching the person opposite him with interest.

"Come on, pick what you like to eat; order something. I’ve forgotten what you like!"

Hearing this, Su Qing smiled and shook his head: "I’m curious why you invited me for a meal. I think, with our current relationship, it’s more or less inconvenient, isn’t it?"

Indeed, the person across from him was his old classmate, Ning Tong.

Given their relationship, they shouldn’t be meeting at all; besides, Ning Tong was married and even pregnant, and he had a girlfriend. Considering their relationship from high school, they really shouldn’t be meeting.

He initially rejected the invitation, but Ning Tong pleaded with him over the phone repeatedly, making three consecutive calls, lowering her stance significantly.

Finally, seeing that she seemed determined to keep calling if he didn’t agree, he reluctantly nodded and agreed, subsequently informing Shen Yi with a call.

As for Ning Tong’s purpose, the narration had already offered a hint, stating she came to apologize because her family business had suffered malicious suppression.

Although Zhang Chao’s family wasn’t sure if it was him, he certainly appeared to be the prime suspect under the current circumstances.

"Uh...let’s order food first," Ning Tong said a bit flurried, hurriedly calling the waiter to order a few signature dishes.

During the wait for their food, Su Qing remained silent, having nothing to say, as their connection had long ended.

If Ning Tong hadn’t married Zhang Chao, perhaps they could still be friends upon meeting again, or even lend a small help. But due to Zhang Chao’s involvement, he could only distance himself clearly.

As silence reigned over them, the atmosphere at the dining table grew increasingly awkward. Su Qing had ways to alleviate such an atmosphere, but he took no action, feeling there was no need; awkwardness could be quite fine.

Finally, when the food began arriving, Ning Tong broke the silence: "Su Qing, I came today to apologize to you for that incident at the hospital. I hope you can be gracious and forgive Zhang Chao this once, for the sake of our past as classmates, alright?"

Hearing this, even though Su Qing already knew through the narration, he still feigned a look of surprise and smiled:

"No need...first of all, our classmate ties ended when you invited me to your wedding back then. You know better than anyone why Yang Zhiming kept picking on me in front of everyone. Secondly, at the hospital that day, we didn’t see eye to eye, and a few mutual insults seemed normal. As for an apology? You should look for Ding Qiang, as it was his father who was hospitalized, not my family member, so I don’t really care as I didn’t take it to heart."

Ning Tong got a bit anxious and quickly said, "We will apologize to Ding Qiang. Can you let us off the hook?"

At this, Su Qing smiled slightly, spreading his hands: "Why would you say that? I’ve already said I didn’t take it to heart."

Seeing him not admitting, Ning Tong took a deep breath, rubbing her hands on her belly and said: "You mentioned checking our family’s business at the hospital that day, presumably in revenge, right? Currently, our family’s restaurant halting its business and our supermarket encountering issues are too coincidental. One incident might be coincidence, but with so many, it’s inevitable. We haven’t offended anyone else recently, besides Zhang Chao’s clash with you, so I think..."

As Ning Tong finished her words, the narration echoed in Su Qing’s mind.

[Zhang Chao’s family has somewhat guessed it was probably you behind it, although they lack evidence. Zhang Chao even had a big fight with his parents over this and smashed up the house the day before yesterday, not coming home all day yesterday.

Ning Tong believed, regardless of whether you did it, she should apologize and end it, thinking that solving this issue would earn her more regard from her in-laws.

She feels her husband is unreliable, so she wants to handle it herself, having also anticipated your denial. Therefore, she prepared a recording pen to coax a confession. Once you admit, she can use it to threaten you; after all, you are a celebrity now, a mega-influencer with tens of millions of fans.]

Listening to the narration’s cue, Su Qing’s eyes narrowed, scrutinizing the old classmate in front of him. He hadn’t expected that his former high school classmate would have such a crafty mind?

Indeed, it’s true that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

She even considered using recordings to threaten him. If not for the narration, with his currently slightly inflated mindset, he might have given her some leverage.

How does the saying go? The most venomous is a woman’s heart!

No matter how poorly Zhang Chao behaves, he’s still her lawful husband, the father of the baby in her belly. And what is he? Merely an old classmate; there’s no way she’d side against her family for him.

With that thought, Su Qing took a deep breath, his gaze starting to go cold:

"So? What is it you want to say?"

Ning Tong: "Was it not you who did it?"

Su Qing sneered: "Do you have any proof?"

Ning Tong: ...
