After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 472 - 368: Past and Present Lives

If it doesn’t harm your own interests, and she’s someone with real background and strength, any smart person would know to consider her as an ally, and definitely not stand against her.

"That’s true." Jin SuYan sneered.

After a while, she added with a soft sarcasm, "The wife of the Zhang family, the second daughter of the Li family, they really change their faces fast. They used to not even look at that Zhuang woman, and now that she has Ning Youguang as her trump card, they’re clinging onto her, just like bees chasing the scent of flowers."

"Isn’t it just because Zhuang Yijing is capable, able to cozy up to Miss Ning from the Ning family?"

Jin Jiayi also pondered to herself that later she should go and greet Miss Ning and the nouveau riche Zhuang.

Jin SuYan saw her aunt not really listening to her, so she turned to look at her boyfriend beside her, only to find him also looking towards Zhuang Yijing.

With a handsome and chiselled face, there was a depth in his expression that she couldn’t decipher.

She smiled and said, "Ah Wei, don’t you think those women look ridiculous?"

Xu Wei took a sip of his drink, "Is that so?"

The expression on his face turned a bit bland.

Jin SuYan didn’t notice this subtle change in his expression and continued to giggle, "Yes."

Xu Wei turned his head to glance at her, his eyes filled with things she couldn’t understand.

Jin SuYan felt a strange feeling in her heart from his glance, yet couldn’t think of why.

...

After the rich and beautiful ladies dispersed.

Zhuang Yijing laughed and said to Ning Youguang, "Thanks to you, I’m afraid I’ll have endless invitations from now on." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Ning Youguang chuckled, "If you like them, go, if you don’t, turn them down."

"That’s all I can do." Zhuang Yijing said lazily, "I’m not like them, who don’t need to work and can spend all day socializing. They have money, beauty, and leisure. Someone like me, busy as a laborer in a production brigade, simply can’t mingle with them."

Ning Youguang burst into laughter, "Everyone has their own way of living, no need to blend forcibly."

Zhuang Yijing also laughed, "Indeed, although it seems like they don’t need to work, I honestly don’t envy them one bit. Living like that, I couldn’t stand it for even a day. Just the thought gives me a headache. How can they live like that their whole life?"

She couldn’t understand.

Ning Youguang said, "You might be best being a wealthy woman focusing on mining, that’s more your forte."

Zhuang Yijing roared with laughter, "I just love making money, it’s the motivation for working until midnight every day."

Ning Youguang nodded, and after a moment, softly said, "They actually don’t have it easy either."

Zhuang Yijing was slightly surprised, "What’s not easy for them? Eating, drinking, buying things every day, anyone can do that."

"Eating, drinking, buying things, although anyone can do that, the outcome and the intended purpose are different for everyone," Ning Youguang said slowly, "The truest joy in life doesn’t come from these shallow desires, but from restraint, discipline, diligence, and the satisfaction of completing today’s tasks. You actually live happier than they do."

"You’re making a good point, but whether they live happily or not, I don’t know and don’t care," Zhuang Yijing said with disdain, "I just don’t understand how they can look down on someone as diligent as me, even though they live so superficially. It’s really funny, what do they have to show off in front of me? Other than a good family background, what do they have that surpasses me?"

She continued, "Today, they invited me to their event just because they saw I have a good relationship with you. When have they ever treated me with respect before?"

Ning Youguang gently patted Zhuang Yijing on the head and said with a smile, "Poor baby, don’t be upset."

"I’m not upset. I know who I am, I don’t care how they see me," Zhuang Yijing couldn’t help but grin, "I might not have their elegance or high birth, but earning my own way with my brain and hands, I have more confidence than they do. Who’s looking down on whom isn’t for certain."

Ning Youguang looked at Zhuang Yijing proudly, "You’re excellent, contributing more to society than they do, so that’s why I say you’re happier."

Zhuang Yijing was fine with praising herself, but felt a bit embarrassed when praised by Ning Youguang.
