"No." Jiang Lirong squinted and said in a low voice, "But her skills are even better than those of people with three heads and six arms. She's not exactly a stunning beauty, but her charm... is beyond words."

"That's incredibly mysterious!" Ming Haoyuan laughed. "When are you finally going to introduce me to this legendary Miss Ning? I've been curious about her for ages!"

The media in Rongcheng occasionally photograph the Ning family members, but they are always very careful to blur their faces.

He only knew that Ning Lang was very good-looking, tall and slender, but he had never had the chance to see her face.

Jiang Lirong smiled wryly: "I can never get a word in with her. The Ning family is very low-key, and so is she. They usually don't attend high-society banquets or parties unless they are very close relatives."

“You have to listen to me, and go to her doorstep every day to wait for her!” Ming Haoyuan said.

Jiang Lirong suddenly remembered something and explained, "She's going to the auction tomorrow, you might see her then."

"She's going too?" Ming Haoyuan asked suspiciously. "Is she going to buy land?"

Jiang Lirong replied, "Probably not. She only works in the catering industry and an advertising company."

"Oh..." Ming Haoyuan said in a low, ambiguous voice, "Tomorrow I will definitely keep my eyes wide open and see exactly where Miss Ning's charm lies."

Jiang Lirong coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "After the auction, regardless of whether we win the bid for Lingshan, we will not accept any media interviews. Also, if the Lin family comes tomorrow, you must avoid talking to them and remember not to reveal any information."

"Why?" Ming Haoyuan asked hesitantly.

Jiang Lirong said in a low voice, "A person without integrity cannot stand. Someone like Lin Zhong could very well sabotage us at a crucial moment. Haoyuan, we must always be wary of others."

Ming Haoyuan always listened to him, and this time was no exception. "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Lirong said, "Go back and rest early. See you tomorrow."

Goodnight, cousin, see you tomorrow!

Jiang Lirong disconnected the Bluetooth connection—suddenly, a text message came in!

He glanced at the screen and saw the name "Lin Huier," but ignored it and continued driving slowly.

...

The next morning, Ning Lang got up a little later than usual.

She did yoga for half an hour before changing her clothes and going downstairs.

The downstairs area was deserted; without Ah Lü's nagging and shouting, the quiet felt strange.

She opened the refrigerator, took out a small bag of vacuum-packed lilies, and some millet.

As soon as I opened the bag of millet, a dry but slightly pungent smell wafted out!

Suddenly, a strong feeling of nausea welled up in my chest!

She hurriedly covered her mouth and gagged several times in discomfort.

"Ugh—ugh—" She tried to take deep breaths, and it took her a long time to calm down the nausea.

At that moment, a voice message came in.

She glanced at it and clicked on it casually.

"I'm coming to pick you up now. I haven't eaten yet, so make me a portion of whatever you make, or I'll steal yours!"

Ning Lang's gentle eyes flashed with a hint of doting affection as he picked up a spoon and added more millet.

Twenty minutes later, Sheng Xuan arrived.

The two ate breakfast and then hurriedly set off.

Ning Lang made a phone call and then chuckled softly.

“After your outburst yesterday, the mountain land in Banhulu can no longer be used for weighing, because both the Ming family and Shengju consider it unlucky.”

Sheng Xuan smiled wickedly and said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"

Ning Lang glanced at him suspiciously, and as always asked directly, "What else do you want to do today?"

"Help me—no, help Shengju take Lingshan," Sheng Xuan said firmly.

Ning Lang raised an eyebrow and stared at him in surprise.

What?! Help Shengju take over Lingshan?!

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

He smiled, then turned his handsome face to her and winked.
