The socialites had never seen such a long silver needle before.
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the silver needle pierced into her ankle.
Everyone thought that Sze Lingyun would cry out, but she did not.
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at Sze Lingyun and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Sze Lingyun’s face was always red as she shook her head. “It doesn’t.”
Honestly, it did.
Nangong Nuannuan also knew that it definitely hurt. She smiled and said, “Bear with it. It won’t hurt after half a minute.”
Nangong Nuannuan only inserted two silver needles into her ankle before stopping.
“Sit here for 20 minutes. I’ll come back to collect the needles after that.”
“…Okay. Thank you!” Sze Lingyun’s face stayed a blushing red. She looked at Nangong Nuannuan with a burning gaze as if she was looking at a celebrity.
It had only been a simple interaction, but Sze Lingyun had already fallen in love with Nangong Nuannuan.
Nangong Nuannuan stood up. Her gaze did not even brush over Shi Yalin, whose face had instantly turned pale. Instead, she looked straight at Xiao Yaxin.
“Miss Xiao, it’s not good to push people around. You’ve ruined Miss Sze’s ankle. Aren’t you going to apologize to Miss Sze?”
Nangong Nuannuan could admit that she was getting too involved.
However, she had no choice. She was intrigued by Sze Lingyun and her sincerity and straightforwardness.
If the girl she liked was injured, she would definitely meddle in things.
Xiao Yaxin had never met Nangong Nuannuan before because Old Master Xiao would never bring his granddaughter to Old Master Chi’s house or to Old Master Nangong’s house. Xiao Yaxin often attended banquets held by wealthy families. She knew some socialites from third-rate wealthy families, and upon seeing Nuannuan now, she could tell that Nuannuan had a much higher status than that. Therefore, when faced Nangong Nuannuan’s questioning, she was very disdainful.
“Who are you? What right do you have to question me?”
Nangong Nuannuan had been scolded, but she was not angry. She did not argue with Xiao Yaxin and instead turned to look at Sze Lingyun and said, “Forget it. You were pushed by a beast, and I was yelled at by the same one. Let’s not argue! It’s a waste of our precious time.”
Sze Lingyun was not afraid of Xiao Yaxin, so when she saw her idol dissing her, she smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
As the daughter of a first-rate noble family, Xiao Yaxin was only afraid of a few socialites from the same level of first-rate noble family as her. After all, the Xiao family was at the end of the four great families, and she was not favored by her grandfather. Therefore, besides the daughters of the other first-rate noble families, she was not afraid of anyone.
When she heard Nangong Nuannuan call her an animal, her eyes widened and she angrily asked, “What did you just call me? If you have the guts, you call me that again.”
Nangong Nuannuan ignored her. After speaking to Sze Lingyun, she turned her gaze to Shi Yalin, who was hiding amongst the crowd.
When Shi Yalin saw Nangong Nuannuan looking at her, her expression changed to one of fear. She avoided her gaze and looked as if she wanted to dig a hole three feet into the ground and hide in it.
Nangong Nuannuan gave her a playful smile.
Xiao Yaxin realized that she was being ignored. She raised the wine in her hand and threw it at Nangong Nuannuan’s beautiful face, which was so beautiful it often made people go crazy from jealousy.
Xiao Yaxin was sad because regardless of whether she looked at the Shi family or the Ning family, all the women had beautiful faces and perfect bodies.
