Shen Ningyuan retracted her foot only after she was sure that Ji Yunnuo didn't dare to come in again.
This scene shocked Lan Yin and Lu Ying.
Lu Ying took a step closer and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why do I feel that the Second Young Master of the Ji Family seems to be very afraid of you, his sister-in-law?"
"An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It's normal for him to be afraid of me." Shen Ningyuan replied calmly.
Hearing this, Lu Ying frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "But... why do I feel that his fear of the young lady is not this kind of fear..."
"Then what do you think you are afraid of?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.
Green Oriole was choked and didn't know how to explain.
"Anyway, this servant feels that the Second Young Master has some strange feelings towards the Young Lady."
Green Warbler paused, then suddenly said, "I know, it's henpecked! It's how a man treats his wife—"
"Be careful with your words!"
Before Lu Ying could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lan Yin.
Looking at Lan Yin's serious gaze, Lu Ying realized that she had said the wrong thing.
He quickly closed his mouth and looked at Shen Ningyuan nervously.
"Miss, I'm sorry..."
Shen Ningyuan shook her head and said indifferently: “It’s okay, actually…I think so too.”
"Miss?"
Lan Yin and Lu Ying looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Isn't his intention already obvious?"
"But……"
"No buts. What he wants is his business. Whether he wants to or not is my business. No one can influence me."
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan said no more and made a gesture to silence the two of them.
Lan Yin and Lu Ying then shut up in disappointment.
Outside the carriage, Wen Bo glanced at Ji Yunnuo cautiously.
They could hear the conversation inside clearly from outside.
He even suspected that Shen Ningyuan's last words were deliberately said to Ji Yunnuo.
Ji Yunnuo had a carefree smile on his face, but the disappointment in his eyes betrayed him.
The carriage drove for a while and finally stopped.
Ji Yunnuo jumped out of the car and whispered to the inside, "Sister-in-law, we're here."
Shen Ningyuan did not respond, but Lan Yin and Lu Ying jumped out of the carriage first, and they helped Shen Ningyuan out of the carriage together.
Shen Ningyuan ignored Ji Yunnuo and looked at the four-story restaurant in front of him. He couldn't help but look at Ji Yunnuo in surprise.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ningle Tower is actually your property?"
Ji Yunnuo nodded: "Over the years, I have secretly earned some family property and saved enough money to open this restaurant, and it is doing quite well."
"Not bad?" Chen Ningyuan sneered. "A restaurant that can compete with Zui Xiang Ting is not bad, and you call it that? Ji Yunnuo, you are really modest!"
"Two years ago, Ninglelou suddenly appeared and quickly seized the Beijing wine market, even taking away half of Zuixiangting's customers. My mother was so angry at that time that she didn't want to run Zuixiangting anymore and gave it to me as a dowry!"
After hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Ji Yunnuo chuckled and said, “This is unfortunate. I can be considered to have indirectly helped my sister-in-law and earned some family property.”
Shen Ningyuan smiled wryly: "Ji Yunnuo, I really underestimated you. My mother has been in business for more than ten years, and you are the first person who can make her angry."
"To vent my mother's anger, my father even mobilized the power of the Shen Family Army's secret chamber to help my mother find the mastermind behind Ningle Tower. A year has passed and there's still no news. Who would have thought that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually a little-known bastard from the Marquis' Mansion."
When he heard the word "bastard", a hint of coldness appeared between Ji Yunnuo's brows.
"What? Are you angry?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows, her words full of provocation.
"So what if I'm a bastard's son, or a legitimate son? If my sister-in-law wants to laugh at my background, then go ahead! Anyway, my birth was a mistake from the very beginning, and I've gotten used to it over the years." Ji Yunnuo emphasized his tone.
"It turns out that you also have emotions. I thought you were heartless and desireless." Shen Ningyuan chuckled.
"If I were truly heartless and desireless, I wouldn't be cooperating with my sister-in-law."
As he spoke, Ji Yunnuo suddenly thought of something and looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise.
He asked seriously, "Sister-in-law, have you agreed to the appointment? But have you thought it over and decided to cooperate with me?"
Shen Ningyuan smiled and said, "Then you have to show me your sincerity first, or tell me what you can provide me?"
Ji Yunnuo also smiled, pointing to the plaque of Ningle Tower, and said seriously: "This Ningle Tower is my sincerity!"
Chen Ningyuan frowned, "What do you mean? You want to give me half of Ningle Tower's share?"
"Sister-in-law, you have such a low profile."
"Forehead……"
Shen Ningyuan touched his nose angrily.
Why are you suddenly mocking people?
The last time I was ridiculed was the last time.
"So what do you mean...how much do you want to give me?" Shen Ningyuan asked quietly.
Ji Yunnuo looked at Shen Ningyuan, his eyes shining as he said, “This Ningle Tower belongs to my sister-in-law.”
Although he knew that the Shen family was wealthy and powerful, Shen Ningyuan didn't care about this at all.
But Ningle Tower is the greatest sincerity he can offer!
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan was also stunned and asked in surprise: "You mean, you want to give Ningle Tower to me?"
"That's right." Ji Yunnuo smiled, "I wonder if my sister-in-law is satisfied with my sincerity?"
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Shen Ningyuan to respond, Lan Yin's soft muttering sounded.
"With such sincerity, what's there to be dissatisfied about? It's even more impressive than the betrothal gift the Marquis' Mansion gave to the young lady a year ago."
Shen Ningyuan: "..."
What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm being ridiculed again?
