Chapter 364 Ding Ding Ding, a new prisoner is found
I don’t know if it’s because they met Jiang Ning on the way, but everyone in the Huo family ate absent-mindedly during this meal.
Huo Song had originally proposed that the family go out for dinner because he saw Huo Miao had lost a lot of weight after being locked up for ten days. But at the dinner table, everyone was only concerned with discussing Jiang Ning, leaving Huo Miao as the most marginalized one.
Huo Miao felt angry and resentful when she saw this, but she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction.
After waiting for everyone to finish eating, I was finally able to leave, but I ran into Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou at the restaurant entrance.
Huo Miao pinched her palms and stared at Jiang Ning's back, wondering why her luck was so bad today.
When Huo Miao saw Jiang Ning, of course the rest of the Huo family saw it too.
Huo Li was walking in the front. When he saw Jiang Ning coming down the stairs, he took a step forward and immediately called out to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, wait a minute."
Hearing the voice behind him, Jiang Ning frowned slightly, stopped, and turned around to see the Huo family members on the steps.
Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian were fine, they were still hostile to Jiang Ning. Huo Song also looked indifferent, as if she was not his biological daughter at all.
Among the group, only Mrs. Huo looked at Jiang Ning with the most complicated eyes.
When Jiang Ning lived in the Huo family before, Mrs. Huo was actually the one who disliked her the most.
Mrs. Huo had always looked down on Jiang Ning, always thinking that Jiang Ning, who grew up in a poor mountain village, could do nothing except brute force.
Under her careful training, Huo Miao excelled in dancing, vocal music, painting, tea art, etc. She was also elegant and exquisite, and at first glance she looked like a noble daughter of a wealthy family.
Unlike Jiang Ning, she has no talent and rarely dresses up. She is really not presentable. This is why she has never taken Jiang Ning out to any parties in the two years since Jiang Ning returned to the Huo family.
But now, in just less than two months, the daughter she had raised with all her effort had brought her shame, while the daughter she had despised before had become famous after leaving home.
Netizens' love for her even affected her company's stock price and product sales.
Mrs. Huo was in a very heavy mood.
Huo Li took a few steps to Jiang Ning. He was not stupid and he could tell from Jiang Ning's attitude that she was determined to break up with the Huo family.
In this case, Huo Li no longer took the family route. Like a shrewd and intelligent businessman, he spoke in a gentle voice: "Jiang Ning, I want to discuss cooperation with you."
"Cooperation?" Jiang Ning raised her head, and her first reaction was to refuse. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Huo family at all.
But thinking of what the system had just said, Jiang Ning stood still: "What cooperation?"
"It's not convenient to talk here. Do you have time now? Let's go sit somewhere else." Huo Li said.
I met her twice, and both times I wanted to talk to her privately.
Was it Jiang Ning's illusion, but she felt that Huo Li seemed to be asking something of her? Jiang Ning refused casually, "We don't have time now. We have to go somewhere else. Please send the cooperation agreement to my email address, and I will reply to you after reading it."
After being rejected twice in a row, Huo Li frowned slightly and finally noticed the young man next to Jiang Ning.
Every time Jiang Ning was on the hot search, it was a shock to the Huo family. Huo Li had paid attention to many of Jiang Ning's recent events, so he naturally knew that there was always a boy following her.
According to the gossip collected by the assistant, this boy seems to be Jiang Ning's boyfriend, otherwise the two of them would not be inseparable all day long.
Huo Li's eyes fell on Qi Xingzhou, who had a very low presence next to him, and he was immediately shocked by Qi Xingzhou's outstanding and superior appearance.
Qi Xingzhou's expressionless face and lowered eyes made Huo Li feel vaguely familiar for some reason, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Huo Li couldn't help but look at Qi Xingzhou a few more times.
He had a good memory and was sure that he had never seen this person before.
To be cautious, Huo Li asked, "May I ask this gentleman's name?"
"Don't involve other people in what happened between us. This is my friend, and it has nothing to do with you." Jiang Ning vigilantly protected Qi Xingzhou behind her.
"Sister, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to treat you to a meal. After you ran away from home, I have been trying to contact you but couldn't." Huo Miao's voice suddenly came from behind.
Her voice was soft, completely different from the vigilant and arrogant tone she had just had in the bathroom.
Huo Miao walked down the stairs while talking. When she saw Qi Xingzhou, she pretended to be surprised: "Oh! So it was Qi Xingzhou who came out to eat with you? If I had known, we would have eaten together."
Last name Qi?
Huo Li glanced at Qi Xingzhou, as if he was confirming something.
When Jiang Ning heard Huo Miao's voice, she thought of what the system had just said.
She frowned slightly.
Huo Miao, who had been paying attention to her expression, saw Jiang Ning frowning, and immediately remembered that she had hit someone when she was angry before, so she quickly moved closer to Huo Li.
With so many members of the Huo family here, Jiang Ning couldn't possibly beat her in front of so many people! "It's not too late to have a cup of tea together now." Huo Song's voice sounded behind Jiang Ning.
Standing under the eaves all the time is not a solution. Besides, this is someone else's restaurant, and the coming and going of people makes Huo Song feel a little embarrassed.
He walked over slowly, looking like a patriarch, and said calmly, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go somewhere else."
Mrs. Huo and the Huo twins also followed.
Although Huo Song did not mention anyone by name, everyone knew that he was talking to Jiang Ning.
Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian turned their heads away, looked around but not at Jiang Ning, and their dissatisfaction with their elder brother and father's initiative to invite Jiang Ning was obvious.
On the day Jiang Ning broke up with the Huo family, everyone had already said so much. For the twins, they should never reconcile with Jiang Ning in this life.
When Jiang Ning dragged her suitcase and left the Huo family, the two brothers were even thinking in their hearts that Jiang Ning had no other strengths except brute force. Without the protection of the Huo family, she might have to go to a construction site to move bricks after starving for a few days, or work as a cashier at a small store.
If she leaves the Huo family, her future life will be extremely mediocre, and she will be busy just trying to survive all her life.
Who would have thought that in just two months, Jiang Ning would turn the tide and become popular among the public. On the other hand, their family had been plagued by bad luck recently. Not only their father, but even their excellent and rigorous eldest brother took the initiative to bow to Jiang Ning and wanted to take her back.
This trend, which was almost contrary to what they had imagined, made the two brothers extremely frustrated.
In their fantasies, the Huo family's business should be thriving, Huo Miao has firmly established her position as a popular young actress in the entertainment industry, and the two of them are doing well in school. When they meet Jiang Ning again, it should be that she can't make it out there anymore, and she has come back to beg the Huo family to continue to take her in!
