Chapter 85 A Sloppy Confession

Qiao Junxian is looking for her? Damn it! Just now, after accepting the interview, I was in a hurry to come here and forgot to tell Qiao Junxian. If the reporter interviews him, let him remember to say that she is still a child and is not suitable for dating now. He fed her grapes purely to tease the child.

Yue Ning picked up the receiver: "Hello!"

"Ningning, you are in Repulse Bay?"

"I'll bring Uncle Abang and the others over to take a look, and discuss the company's situation with Sister Sophie." Yue Ning said this, "Qiao Junxian, let me tell you..."

She had thought it through clearly just now. Now in her mind was the photo in the newspaper, the way he bent over with his head down, looking at her with a smile, and the concentration in his eyes that could not be ignored. If she said those words, it would not only seem like she was playing crazy and stupid, pretending not to know, but also be disrespectful to him.

This was the reason why she was unable to completely deny their relationship in front of the reporters just now.

"What do you want to say?"

Qiao Junxian seemed nervous when she said this. As expected, she was right. She laughed and knocked her head. "There are too many things to do. I can't remember what I want to say. Why are you looking for me?"

On the other end of the phone, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you say you were going to my house to talk to my grandparents and parents about the tastes of my family and prepare the menu for the banquet? Are you free tonight? My family is here!"

Did he call to talk about this? Was he overthinking it and adding drama to his story? Yue Ning laughed at himself.

Uncle Mo's family set a date, and the Nanyang Ye family came to Hong Kong to pick up Uncle Mo and his mother. Ning Yan happened to be the property of the Ye family, and she was also considered the half-adopted daughter of Uncle Mo and his wife. They decided to hold the banquet at Ning Yan.

Although everyone is Chinese, tastes vary greatly due to different regions. Yue Ning wants to understand everyone's tastes and try his best to cater to everyone's needs.

"Okay!" Yue Ning responded.

"Then wait for me. I'll pick you up in half an hour and go back together." Qiao Junxian said.

"OK."

Yue Ning hung up the phone and said to Sophie, "Qiao Junxian will come down to pick me up and take me to their house."

"Are they all here?" Sophie asked.

"My uncle and my aunt are coming to Hong Kong. Isn't this banquet a trial run for Ningyan?" Yue Ning said with a smile, "What are you thinking, sister?"

Sophie smiled: "I didn't think much of it. You two looked so compatible in that photo."

Yue Ning shrugged, not wanting to explain. Any explanation would be seen as a cover-up by others. She stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Yue Ning walked out. Yue Baohua had already taken three people to look at it.

"Ningning, I heard from Uncle Hua that this was acquired after you came? You've only been here for a few days?" A Bang sighed, "And it's such a big restaurant?"

In order to make subordinates follow you wholeheartedly, your own ability and personal charm are important, and it is also important to demonstrate your strength. Otherwise, why would others bet on you?

"Uncle Abang, I'm just waiting for you to fry a plate of beef noodles here that you can't eat anywhere else." Yue Ning told him that Niu Hebang was so good at frying beef noodles that Yue Ning felt inferior to him.

"Axing, you are good at dishing out dishes with knife skills." Yue Ning said to Ma Yaoxing.

Yue Ning looked at Luo Guoqiang and said, "Brother Guoqiang, it doesn't matter if your basic skills are a little poor. We are all the inheritors of Fuyunlou. You should learn from my grandfather in Baohualou and improve the foundation of Fuyunlou."

Although Luo Guoqiang envied Abang and Axing for coming here, he also knew that his foundation was not good. He was able to come here this time because he had a good grandfather. The leader hoped that he could learn well, and Grandpa Yue and Yue Ning also hoped that he could learn well.

"I see."

Yue Ning said to Yue Baohua, "Grandpa, Qiao Junxian is waiting to pick me up. I'm going to Qiao's house to discuss the taste of the banquet. Can you take Uncle Abang and the others for a look?"

He Yunbang leaned over and asked, "Ningning, is this Qiao Junxian your boyfriend?"

"Who cares if I have a partner? Take care of yourself first and find a partner for yourself." Yue Ning had nothing else to say. The newspapers and TV stations in Hong Kong were all reporting this news today.

"Let's go. I'll take you to Central for a walk." Yue Baohua said. He was in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, he liked Qiao Junxian very much, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to see his cabbage being eaten by the piglets outside.

Yue Ning saw them off brilliantly and saw the Mercedes-Benz that Qiao Junxian usually drove drive into the parking space.

Qiao Junxian got out of the car, a smile on his face, and walked up to them: "Grandpa Yue, I'm here to pick up Ningning. Are you leaving?"

"Well, I'll take them to Central for a walk." Yue Baohua got in the car and rolled down the window.

"I'll come back after I finish chatting." Yue Ning said.

Qiao Junxian bent down and said, "My grandma made some cakes and wants Ningning to stay for dinner. I will take her home after dinner."

"Okay." Now that Old Mrs. Qiao has been moved out, what else can he say?

Qiao Junxian watched Yue Baohua's car leave and asked, "Get in?"

"I'm going to Sister Sophie's place to get a bag and say hello to her," said Yue Ning.

Yue Ning took her bag and got out. Qiao Junxian opened the car door for her and she sat in the passenger seat.

Qiao Junxian started the car, and the radio was turned on as soon as the car started. It was four o'clock, and the four major Hong Kong stock markets had just closed. The radio was reporting today's stock market news. At this time, the British held a trade fair for Hong Kong stocks, the Chinese held one, and later two more came out. There were four trade fairs in total, and the listing standards of each were different. Large and small companies could participate. Companies like Cui Ji were already considered large companies. In the past month or so, Cui Ji had encountered problems frequently, causing the stock price to fall again and again, with weak rebounds and severe selling pressure. From the high point to now, the stock price has fallen by as much as 61%.

A stockholder expressed his opinion on the radio: "If Cui Jiachang likes to have children, he should just focus on sowing seeds and stop messing around with Cui Ji."

Cui Ji was in such a state, and Cui Jiachang was also scolded by shareholders for getting his girlfriend pregnant.

Next, the host listed Cui Jiachang's women. This Miss Zhong was his twelfth. The host said Cui's love history was comparable to foot binding cloth.

"So many?" Yue Ning was surprised. This Cui Jiachang was also a capable man.

"The long-term relationships are the ones you know, and the others are small-time stars and pageant contestants. The relationships may be as short as a few months or weeks," Qiao Junxian explained.

The next news report was about entertainment news. A male star was exposed to have an affair with his godmother. The godmother was a wealthy widow who had assets of 700 to 800 million yuan and had several godsons.

"This rich sister is so happy." Yue Ning couldn't help but sigh.

"Qiao Junxian admits his relationship." The radio host read out a sentence.

The host played a recording in which a reporter asked Qiao Junxian if feeding grapes to Yue Ning at the cocktail party last night meant that the two of them had confirmed their relationship.

He replied: "No, she is rather slow in this regard, and I hope to awaken her with more intimate actions. I wonder if it will work?"

Yue Ning turned to look at him. Qiao Junxian was driving seriously, his ears red. Yue Ning said, "Qiao Junxian."

The reporter played him the recording of the interview with Yue Ning, and then asked, "What do you think, Mr. Qiao?"

Even on the radio, you can tell that he is very happy: "I am very happy that she is willing to be my girlfriend."

"Ningning, is what you told the reporters true, or are you just trying to pass the buck to me?" Qiao Junxian's voice was a little nervous.

The car space is so small and the weather is very hot in summer. Yue Ning turned her thoughts over and over again. How should she respond?

"If you think this answer is inappropriate, I will tell you when I have the chance..." Qiao Junxian asked.

Yue Ning asked: "What are you going to say?"

"You are still young... Yue Ning, you are already mature enough, and I have shown it clearly enough." Qiao Junxian said, "I fed you grapes yesterday on purpose. I don't want others to dance the opening dance with you in the future."

When I was dancing with Sister Huiyi yesterday, he didn't say anything. He even happily danced with me for the second time. I thought he was very easy to talk to. As long as I danced with him, he would be happy.

It turns out that feeding grapes was not just a casual move, was it a shot that was carefully chosen?

Yes! The reporters who were able to enter the venue last night were from Hengtong’s newspapers and TV stations.

Qiao Junxian's car had already driven onto the mountain road. Upwards were the private residences of several wealthy people. There were not many vehicles passing by, so his car was parked on the side of the road.

"I know that what I did was not upright enough. I... I am actually very narrow-minded. I would be jealous..." He looked at her seriously, "Yuening, I like you. I have liked you since I was in Beijing."

"Qiao Junxian..."

"Ningning, you are cute and smart. That night, I sent my aunt and uncle back to the guesthouse with you, and you beat up the robber. When we came back, I couldn't help but talk about you with my grandfather excitedly. My grandfather said, 'A courageous and decisive girl won't like a boy who can't sleep because of a little thing.' I still couldn't sleep that night, thinking about you all the time." Qiao Junxian looked at her, "Would you like a boy who can't sleep because of you?"

Yue Ning found that he was really easily excited, and his hands seemed to be shaking a little. However, he was always calm and steady when doing things.

Yue Ning waved: "Come over here, I want to talk to you."

Qiao Junxian came closer, and Yue Ning's lips brushed across his cheek. Qiao Junxian looked at her in surprise, and Yue Ning leaned back in the chair: "I said it."

"real?"

"Why would I reject a boy who is so excited that he can't sleep just for me?" Yue Ning looked at him, "But now you should calm down, concentrate on driving, and get home safely."

"Okay!" Qiao Junxian took a deep breath.

The car drove up the mountain. Bougainvillea of ​​different colors were blooming on the high courtyard wall. The tall bronze door slowly opened. Looking inside from the door, one could only see the winding mountain road, and could not peek into the mansion inside.

After driving along this mountain road, a European-style mansion appears in front of you, with mountains behind it and a large swimming pool in front. This is what Feng Shui says: mountains mean wealth and water means wealth.

Qiao Junxian stopped the car, Yue Ning got out and took two steps forward.

Qiao Junxian came over and held her hand, and he looked to the west.

Old Mrs. Qiao was holding a pair of scissors and trimming the branches. Qiao Junxian called out, "Grandma."

Seeing them, Mrs. Qiao put the scissors in the basket, handed it to the maid, and walked over.

"We have Kao at home, so grandma likes to do it herself."

Yue Ning was pulled by him to greet them. The old lady was not surprised to see the two holding hands. Yue Ning called out, "Hello, Grandma Qiao!"

"good!"

"Grandma, are you ready for the cake?"

"It's ready, but it's not steamed yet! Ningning is a chef and is very particular about food. It must be steamed right away to taste good." The old lady said, "Ningning, let's go in."

Yue Ning is not picky about food, but she is naturally happy about the old lady's kindness. Yue Ning went over and took the old lady's hand: "The lotus cakes made by Grandma Qiao last time were delicious. They actually have coconut flavor inside."

"This was taught by a good sister of your aunt, a little Nyonya from Southeast Asia. The dim sum she made has a very good color and taste. As for me, Suzhou boat dim sum is just for the sake of appearance. The combination of the two not only suits the taste of the south, but also has the delicate and exquisite taste of our Jiangnan dim sum..."

Yue Ning followed her into the hall on the first floor and then went up to the second floor. The second floor of their house was the proper living room.

The old lady patted her hands and said, "You and Junxian go sit on the terrace for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to check."

"Um!"

Yue Ning was taken by Qiao Junxian to the terrace outside the living room to sit down. No one could see inside from the outside, and sitting on the second floor, he could see everything.

Qiao Junxian said, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go get something."
