Fu Tian usually saw Fu Ze as a role model to catch up with. He always wanted to surpass him one day, so he always talked about his fourth uncle. However, most of the time, Fu Tian would talk about him behind his back. Today, he couldn’t control himself. He only wanted his aunt to praise him and forgot that Fu Ze was still around.

Fu Tian smiled guiltily and thought of something. “By the way, I heard that Fourth Uncle postponed his work in the afternoon. Why don’t you go shopping with my aunt?”

After saying that, Fu Tian sighed very maturely and said to Ning Xiang, “My fourth uncle has never been in a relationship. He only cares about work every day. If the girl doesn’t mention it, he won’t take the initiative. Please don’t take it to heart, Fourth Aunt.”

Ning Xiang smiled and glanced at Fu Ze.

Did he really lack initiative? In that case, no man in town could be considered proactive.

Fu Tian had only come over to get to know his idol. He had also instructed Fu Ze to bring his aunt out for some fun. He was afraid that she would get stolen by some other guy.

Fu Ze was very grateful for Fu Tian’s concern. He promptly ordered more than ten math exercise books for Fu Tian and asked his eldest brother to supervise the completion.

It was almost autumn. Ning Xiang did have plans to change into some autumn clothes.

Originally, Ning Xiang had not planned to go out and buy it. The Fu family would receive the latest clothes from various brands every quarter. Not long ago, the tailor had even measured her.

However, the charm of shopping was indeed great for Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang bought loads of stuff without a second thought using Fu Tian’s card.

Halfway through, Ning Xiang was a little thirsty. Before she could say anything, Fu Ze went to buy her water.

She walked to the mixed-gender area. Most of the items sold were accessories. Ning Xiang looked around aimlessly until her gaze landed on a navy blue tie.

Fu Ze had accompanied her for so long and bought her lots of things.

Ning Xiang walked over and thought about Fu Ze’s custom-made suits. She wanted to choose a tie that could match.

A few minutes later, Ning Xiang chose a very suitable one, but it was not very expensive. “Help me wrap this one up.”

“Hey, isn’t this President Fu’s wife?” A familiar voice spoke with mockery. “The Fu family is rich and powerful, and you bought him such a lousy tie? Let me see…”

The tie in the salesperson’s hand was snatched away by the man. He looked at the price on the label and sneered in disdain. “Are you giving a gift worth only 6,000 yuan?”

Ning Xiang smiled. “What does it have to do with you? Didn’t Ning Shi tell you not to provoke me after he went back?”

The person who came was her big brother, Ning Zheng. Hearing this, he sneered and said, “Is that what you call your father? Don’t make it sound like I want to provoke you. Do you think I wanted to? Who knew that I would have the dumb luck of running into the likes of you when I was shopping with Lianlian?”

Ning Xiang put her hands in her pockets and said indifferently, “You’re really asking for it. Whenever you encounter me, you act like dogs that have seen meat and insist on barking.”

Ning Zheng glared at her. “Are you calling me a dog?”

Ning Xiang sneered. “Not only that, I even said that you’re asking for it.”

Ning Zheng was furious. Ning Xiang always spoke to him this way and he had never out talked her once. She had already married into the Fu family, so he did not expect her to be even more sharp-tongued.

“Huh? Who are you talking to?”

After Ning Lian finished choosing her items, she suddenly realized Ning Zheng was gone. It took her a while to find him.

When she realized that the person she was talking to was Ning Xiang, resentment flashed across Ning Lian’s eyes.

The girl picked up the $6000 tie with a smile and pretended to be surprised as she spoke, “Are you getting this kind of tie for Brother Ze? Don’t you know that he never wears such cheap goods?”

When Ning Zheng saw that his sister was here, he became even more arrogant and said sarcastically, “Xiangxiang, even though you have questionable character, you still have the Ning family’s blood running through you. If you are having a hard time in the Fu family and no one gives you money, go beg Mom and Dad. Maybe you can get some money.”

Ning Lian seemed to be very concerned about Ning Xiang and advised, “That’s right. Your finances must be very tight if you can only give gifts like this. It’ll be embarrassing if word gets out. Even if you don’t care about your reputation, you have to think about the Fu family’s reputation.”

Ning Xiang crossed her arms and could not help but laugh when she saw how perfectly the two of them cooperated.

The Ning family’s imagination was quite rich. They imagined that she was living a miserable life and simply treated their fantasies as reality.

“What are you laughing at? Are you crazy?” Ning Zheng paused and sighed. “I’ve long heard that if a woman from a wealthy family isn’t pampered by her husband, her mental state will definitely be different from normal people. I feel sorry for you. Why don’t you come home with us?”

Ning Xiang walked past him and Ning Lian. Her gaze landed on the man who was walking towards her. She smiled. “You’re back, Hubby.”
