Chapter 59 -59: Mrs. Lu Wants Xia Ningxing as Her Daughter
The representatives of various companies fell silent at her words.
Some were shocked, some secretly despised her, others scorned…
A few companies, unwilling to give up, couldn’t help but to confirm with her, “Xia, are you really not considering it any more?”
“Not considering it!” Xia Ningxing’s refusal was resolute; unless she was brain-damaged, she would never sign with a company.
“Well, alright then.” The representatives from the more amiable companies simply sighed and left.
The less friendly ones rolled their eyes at her, “Pah, you think you’re some big star just because you got a little famous? Starting your own company and being a boss! A hillbilly from the boonies, spouting big words without fear of twisting your tongue!”
“Say that again, I dare you!”
Mrs. Xia and her five sons had already picked up their shovels and hoes, glaring at the others as though ready to take them down at any moment.
The adversaries ran off in fear, exclaiming, “A bunch of brutes! Country bumpkins!”
After they had left, Xia Ningxing quickly signaled to her family, “Mom, brothers, don’t get upset over such people. Put down the tools and be careful not to hurt yourselves.”
“Really, who was that person just now! Looking down on us like we’re nothing! Why can’t my Bao’er start a company and be a boss!” Mrs. Xia put down her hoe, still fuming over the incident.
And she resolved then and there to work hard to make money, ensuring her daughter wouldn’t have to suffer such humiliations ever again.
Actually, Ningxing wasn’t angry at all. So what if she was a country bumpkin? The rural-born Lu was going to be a presence who could stomp those companies into oblivion in the future!
A bunch of nobodies from the literary world weren’t even worthy of entering Ningxing’s sight.
Besides companies coming by, there were plenty of journalists who wanted to interview Xia Ningxing, which she didn’t decline. Instead, she used the interviews to promote her own perfume.
This attracted some merchants as well, who came to the Xia family wanting to wholesale her perfumes, despite the approaching New Year.
Mrs. Xia also leapfrogged from a small vendor to a supplier, able to take orders from home every day.
Xia Ningxing taught her mother how to make the perfumes, but the step of scent-blending was still done by herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her mom, but her mom, though she seemed formidable, had no cunning about her. Someone with a bit of guile could have easily tricked her out of the formula.
…
As the Chinese New Year’s Eve rush finally ended, the big day arrived.
In the evening, Xia Ningxing wanted to invite Lu to set off fireworks together, eagerly carrying the fireworks and scampering into his house with her short little legs.
“Lu! Lu!”

The little girl’s voice was cheerful, like a magpie chirping joyfully from the branches.
“Bao’er’s here!” Mrs. Lu just happened to come out of the kitchen and met her face to face.
“Hello, Auntie!” Xia Ningxing immediately stopped, trotting over to her side, tilting her head up to look at her, her sweet little mouth as if coated with honey, “Auntie, you’ve grown even more beautiful since I last saw you!”
“How can your mouth be so sweet!” Mrs. Lu couldn’t help but squat down, gently pinching her soft and pale cheeks, wishing she could steal her away, “Bao’er, why don’t you come to our family and be our daughter?”
Sigh, if only she knew back when she gave birth to Tingli how much she had longed for a girl. Once she found out it was a boy, her hopes were dashed.
She had thought to herself that if worse came to worst, she could have another child and maybe it would be a girl, but after having that stinky boy, she was injured and couldn’t bear any more children.
