Chapter 26: Lies Are Like Snowballs**

Meng Ning casually picked up a fashion magazine and started flipping through it when Qin Huan suddenly rushed over in a flurry.

"Ning Bao, Ning Bao, I just saw the president of Shengyu!" Qin Huan was extremely excited, her whole being was elated.

Meng Ning had married the president of Shengyu Group, which meant she had stepped into a wealthy family and become a rich lady.

Meng Ning smiled and said, "Huan Huan, is it necessary to be so excited about seeing the president of Shengyu? You weren't this excited when you saw Fu Tingxiu. Is he more handsome than Fu Tingxiu? Then he must be quite something."

Qin Huan sat down and took a sip of water to calm herself. "Let me catch my breath first before I tell you."

She had a lot to say but was afraid of saying the wrong thing. It was really frustrating.

Judging by Meng Ning's expression, it seemed she was unaware of Fu Tingxiu's true identity. Why was Fu Tingxiu hiding it from Meng Ning? And why did he marry her?

It was puzzling why a prestigious family like the Fus would marry someone like Meng Ning, who had no background.

Qin Huan was filled with questions but also feared Meng Ning might not be able to handle the truth, so she didn't reveal it immediately.

Seeing Qin Huan acting strangely, Meng Ning became curious. "Come on, tell me, what does the president of Shengyu look like?"

"I... I actually didn't get a clear look, just saw his back." Qin Huan decided not to say anything for now. She needed to understand why Fu Tingxiu married Meng Ning first. She couldn't let Meng Ning get hurt.

Meng Ning had once suffered from depression; what if the truth triggered a relapse?

Meng Ning laughed, "And yet you were so excited just now."

"Well, the president of Shengyu is a man at the top of the pyramid. Just seeing his back is enough to get anyone excited." Qin Huan tentatively asked, "By the way, Ning Bao, how did you end up marrying Fu Tingxiu? Was it really through a dating website? Did you get married after just one meeting?"

Meng Ning nodded. "Yes, my mom signed me up on a dating website. He was eager to get married too. According to the website, Fu Tingxiu had gone on many dates and was satisfied with my profile. I thought he was nice, so we got our marriage certificate."

Qin Huan was puzzled. How could the president of Shengyu be looking for a spouse on a dating website?

But from Meng Ning's reaction, it seemed she truly didn't know Fu Tingxiu's real situation.

Qin Huan asked again, "He said his parents passed away, no house, single?"

Meng Ning nodded again. "Yes, it was all on the dating website profile. Huan Huan, what's up with you? Why are you suddenly asking all these questions?"

"Nothing, just asking casually, marveling at the wonders of fate." Qin Huan smiled to hide her unease and said, "Ning Bao, have you ever thought that one day you might marry into a billion-dollar family and become a wealthy lady?"

Meng Ning thought Qin Huan was implying that Fu Tingxiu was poor, which was why she was saying such things.

Meng Ning firmly said, "I've never thought about it. Since I got my marriage certificate with Fu Tingxiu, I've been prepared to live my life with him. As long as he treats me well and doesn't betray me, I don't care if he's rich or poor. Besides, being a wife in a billion-dollar family isn't easy. No matter what, I wouldn't want that."

Recently, there have been many stories on the internet about wealthy wives being oppressed by their in-laws. It's tough being a wealthy wife.

Just a few days ago, Meng Ning saw a news story about a once-famous actress who married into a wealthy family. She was required to get up at six every morning, her mother-in-law frequently set rules for her, she had to manage all the household affairs, and her husband often didn't come home at night.

Such a marriage seemed so tragic.

Qin Huan gave a dry laugh and didn't dare to ask further, only saying, "Ning Bao, you're right. You've found such a handsome husband, you've really struck gold."

Now, Qin Huan's only concern was that Fu Tingxiu might be toying with Meng Ning's feelings and might not acknowledge her after having his fun. Otherwise, why would he keep Meng Ning outside and lie about renting the house?

But until she figured things out, Qin Huan didn't dare to say more.

Meng Ning glanced at the time and said, "Huan Huan, it's about time for me to go. I have to get back by five to set up my stall."

"Alright, I'll go with you. I've already informed my friend, and I need to check on the beauty salon."

The two left the club, and when Meng Ning returned home, Fu Tingxiu was already back.

Fu Tingxiu said, "You're back."

"Yes."

Meng Ning changed her shoes and said, "Today my mom dragged me to my aunt's house, and then I went to Xin Xing Club with Qin Huan. By the way, your boss was at the club today. Many girls were waiting around just to see him. Qin Huan went to look too."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tingxiu's heart skipped a beat.
