Chapter 147 Disenchantment

Ling Lele told Miss Ling what had just happened. She described it vividly and Miss Ling listened attentively.

Suddenly, when Song Ning was backing away, he accidentally bumped into the table, and the coffee on the table was knocked over, making the table a mess.

Everyone's eyes turned towards Song Ning.

Chen Jie took the opportunity to grab Song Ning's hand and signaled her not to be nervous.

Song Ning bit her lip and didn't dare to speak.

Su Qian seemed to have discovered something. She said to Song Ning, "Miss Song, why are you so nervous?"

Song Ning looked at Su Qian with gritted teeth and said, "Which eye of yours can tell that I'm nervous?"

Su Qian shrugged and said, "Oh, sorry, maybe I saw it wrong."

Ling Lele said to Miss Ling: "Mommy, luckily this sister is here. The rescuers said that if she hadn't pressed the buttons for all the floors and successfully stopped the elevator, we might have..."

Miss Ling hugged Ling Lele tightly with lingering fear.

As if she had thought of something, she looked towards Su Qian and said, "Thank you."

Su Qian shook her head and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. I was in the elevator at the time, and if I didn't do this, I would have died too."

"Since Miss Ling is entertaining guests now, I won't bother you now. I'll leave first. I'll come to you next time I have the chance."

After saying that, Su Qian left.

Su Qian's neither humble nor arrogant attitude left a good impression on Miss Ling, and she did not take credit for saving Ling Lele in front of her, so Miss Ling's impression of Su Qian became even better.

Ling Lele asked Miss Ling: "Mommy, why did that sister come over just now?"

Ms. Ling said, "She's a jewelry designer. I originally wanted her to design a set of jewelry for you as a graduation gift, but she was not only late but also stood me up. I don't want to work with someone who has no sense of time and no integrity."

Ling Lele sighed, feeling it was a pity. She said, "But, I don't think that sister looks like that kind of person. She must have some difficulties."

Miss Ling didn't say anything.

At this time, Song Ning, who had been ignored all along, suddenly said, "You are still young. You can only judge a person's appearance but not his heart. Some people approach you perhaps for ulterior motives."

Ling Lele was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, her brows were twisted into a knot.

"No, that's impossible. She doesn't know me." Ling Lele said.

Song Ning reminded Ling Lele, saying, "Miss Ling didn't even make an appointment with her today, but she managed to find her way here. What do you think?"

Ling Lele pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Song Ning's words were correct, but she still didn't want to believe it.

Song Ning felt that she had to add more fuel to the fire, so she continued, "Actually, Designer Su isn't very professional. I've asked her to design jewelry before, and her designs closely resemble those of international masters, but she refused to admit it. She said she was just borrowing."

Song Ning said half and didn't say the other half, because her purpose was to speak ill of Su Qian.

She wasn't lying, because the part she said was also true.

"Why do you say bad things about that sister?" Ling Lele looked at Song Ning unhappily.

Song Ning was stunned for a moment. That wasn't right. Didn't Ling Lele say she liked her and regarded her as an idol? Why did Ling Lele have this attitude now?

Song Ning said: "Le Le, do you know who I am?"

Ling Lele looked at Song Ning, her brows knitted together. She said, "Does it matter who you are?"

Song Ning didn't give up, she said again: "I am Song Ning."

Ling Lele said: "I know, so what?"

"But, you are not..." Song Ning felt speechless. Is Ling Lele sick?

Ling Lele said, "I used to like you very much. I knew my mom was going to choose a suitable spokesperson from several people. I felt that your image was very close to the message that my mom's company's products wanted to convey, so I asked my mom to ask you to be the spokesperson."

"But I've noticed that you're not who you usually appear to be on screen."

"They say distance creates beauty. I didn't believe it before, but now I really do."

Ling Lele looked at Miss Ling and said, "Mommy."

No more words were needed, Miss Ling understood what Ling Lele meant.

Since the divorce, Miss Ling has been dependent on Ling Lele. She can guess what her daughter is thinking just by looking at her.

Miss Ling said to Song Ning: "I'm sorry, Miss Song, our cooperation is cancelled."

Song Ning was furious. She hadn't done anything, so why was it canceled? Didn't they know how much effort she had wasted on this collaboration?

Miss Ling seemed to guess what Song Ning was thinking. She said, "Miss Song, I just saw you deliberately step on Miss Su's hand. You also deliberately slandered Miss Su. If you are enemies, then Miss Su has done much better than you. Just now, she didn't say a single bad thing about you, but you keep talking about her."

Song Ning felt as disgusted as if she had been fed a mouthful of flies, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Indeed, she did it on purpose.

But I didn't expect that the shrewd Miss Ling would see through it.

Are all businessmen so shrewd?

Song Ning wanted to say something, but couldn't.

"Huh? What's this?" Ling Lele suddenly found a piece of paper on the ground. She took it out and looked at it, stunned for a moment. "This should belong to Sister Su from before. When we were trapped in the elevator, she used these papers to fan me, and I felt a little better."

Miss Ling was stunned for a moment.

If someone else said this, Miss Ling would not believe it, but since it was her daughter Ling Lele who said it, she believed it!

So, the creases that she disliked were not because Su Qian didn't pay attention to details or didn't respect her, but because she wanted to save her daughter Lele?

But why didn’t Su Qian say it?

"Wow, Mommy, is there really such a beautiful thing?" Ling Lele's eyes lit up when she looked at Su Qian's design.

She said: "If there really is such a necklace, I really want to have one."

Miss Ling took the photo from Ling Lele's hand and looked at it carefully. A complicated light flashed in her eyes.

"Mommy?"

"Well, I'm fine, let's go." Miss Ling said to Ling Lele.

Song Ning refused to give up. She said to Miss Ling, "Miss Ling Lele, you've never been with me before, and you're dismissing my efforts based on just one encounter. Isn't that a bad sign? Can't you just give me a chance?"

Ling Lele frowned and said unhappily, "Yes, I used to like you very much, but I just told you that distance creates beauty. I have now lost my charm to you. You are not as good as I imagined."

Ling Lele paused, as if she had something else to say.
