Rebirth in the 80s: Striving for Success

21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.

Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter 285

Yes, how could she forget that her second daughter was much more sensible and well-behaved than her eldest daughter, and also much smarter, with a whole repertoire of tricks for manipulating men?

Many men who were rumored to be particularly difficult to deal with became completely obedient to her second daughter. There were quite a few men who wanted to marry her, but because their family backgrounds weren't top-notch, they were all rejected by her.

If her second daughter could mediate with Chen Ningsheng, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation. Thinking this, Madam Wang finally smiled and patted Wang Ting's hand.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must handle it well, and ideally, you should be able to win him over, understand?"

Wang Ting wore a confident smile; she had never failed in her endeavors, and Madam Wang's instruction was indeed rather superfluous. However, she couldn't say it directly in front of Madam Wang.

She could only smile and reply, "I know, Mom. Don't you trust me to handle things?"

On one side, Madam Wang and Wang Ting harbored malicious intentions, while on the other side, Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng were completely unaware of the situation. Xu Xinchen angrily dragged Chen Ningsheng back into the room.

The two had barely sat down when Xu Xinchen angrily grabbed Chen Ningsheng's hand: "Are you stupid? Why didn't you make that woman pay for it earlier!"

Chen Ningsheng looked down at his hand, which was being held in Xu Xinchen's palm, and saw several obvious scratch marks from fingernails on that spot.

All of those marks were left by Wang Xue's fingernails when she tried to stop him and pulled him away, which he reflexively shook off.

I don't know if it's because the nail polish Wang Xue used was of poor quality, but the area around those marks is now red and swollen, and it looks quite scary.

Xu Xinchen felt more and more heartbroken as she looked at him, and her eyes welled up with tears. She had been focused on Wang Xue and hadn't noticed Chen Ningsheng's wounds.

It wasn't until she pulled Chen Ningsheng into the room that she noticed several red and swollen marks on his hand when he moved it in pain.

Almost instinctively, she wanted to turn around and confront Wang Xue. But Chen Ningsheng stopped her and gently shook his head at her: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll settle this score with her myself."

Xu Xinchen didn't want to listen to his advice at all. She turned around and ran out the door, but when she got back to the place, she found that Wang Xue had already disappeared. This really made her furious.

That's why she immediately confronted Chen Ningsheng upon her return. Chen Ningsheng's hands were so red and swollen that it broke her heart to see them like that.

Chen Ningsheng himself didn't think much of it; it was just a few small wounds. He figured as long as he didn't touch them, they would heal on their own in a couple of days.

Naturally, when Xu Xinchen found out about his idea, she immediately scolded him, saying that he didn't cherish his body.

He raised his eyebrows somewhat helplessly: "It's just a few small wounds, it's really nothing."

Xu Xinchen was really angry, and she reached out and poked his shoulder: "There are many causes of tetanus."

It's just a small wound! No, you need to change your clothes right now and come with me downstairs to see if there's a hospital.

Xu Xinchen wasn't making a mountain out of a molehill; she genuinely believed there might be something wrong with Wang Xue's nails, otherwise why would they be so swollen? Just one glance at them was terrifying to her.

It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up, and if necessary, get a tetanus shot. Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be too late to regret it.

Chen Ningsheng felt it was completely unnecessary, but seeing the anxiety on Xu Xinchen's face, he nodded helplessly and went along with Xu Xinchen's wishes.

As the two of them changed their clothes and walked outside, they bumped into Wang Xue, who was walking towards her room with her head down and her body hunched over, trying to avoid the gaze of others.

Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth and spat out fiercely, "This is truly a case of finding something without even looking for it! Wang Xue, you bastard, you stop right there!"

Wang Xue had memorized Xu Xinchen's voice to the core. When she heard Xu Xinchen call her, she reflexively turned around and glared at him fiercely!

But the moment his gaze fell upon Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng behind her, he immediately cowered: "You, what's the matter?"

Xu Xinchen glared at Wang Xue and pointed at Chen Ningsheng's arm: "You've left my boyfriend like this, what are we going to do now?"

Wang Xue stared in disbelief at the pile of fingernail marks on Chen Ningsheng's arm, momentarily stunned. She didn't remember ever grabbing Chen Ningsheng. Could there be some misunderstanding here?

"I didn't grab him. Did he get accidentally pushed around in the crowd?"

Xu Xinchen was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She never expected that Wang Xue would still deny what she had done even after things had come to this point. This was simply shameless to the extreme!

"How dare you say that? If you didn't catch them, then who else could they be? Just now, you were the only one standing next to him; everyone else was far away from him!"

Wang Xue was already terrified, and now that Xu Xinchen had said that, she just wanted to apologize as soon as possible and let the matter rest.

She couldn't bear being poked on the forehead and scolded by Madam Wang again: "Well, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to grab you."

Hearing Wang Xue's insincere apology, Xu Xinchen's anger intensified: "If you can't even detect this much sincerity, can you even call this an apology?!"

Although Wang Xue was scared, she was essentially a pampered young lady. From childhood to adulthood, although Mr. Wang spoiled them, they never lacked pocket money.

When they have money, they naturally attract more people to fawn over them. Coupled with Boss Wang's influence, Wang Xue can truly be said to have never encountered any setbacks from childhood to adulthood.

Now that Xu Xinchen was pointing her finger at him and scolding him like that, he immediately forgot all his panic and fear, raised his head and said arrogantly, "I've already apologized, what else do you want!"
