Chapter 71: Provoking Trouble



When we arrived at the Italian restaurant chosen by Ni Sangwan, dusk had already fallen. The lights were turned on, and the neon lights painted the hazy night, blending with the gradually dispersing clouds in the sky.

When I walked into the restaurant, the waiter greeted me with a warm smile: "Hello, welcome, how many people are there? Do you have a reservation?"

"You two, your surname is Ni."

"Okay, this way please." The waiter nodded, made a 'please' gesture, and led the way for her.

The style of the restaurant is mainly Italian light luxury, and the windows and doors inside are designed with Gothic scrolls and arches, which looks refreshing.

Arriving at the screen compartment, Ni Sangwan looked over when she heard the voice and stood up with a smile: "Miss Su, you're here."

"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. Sorry for the long time." Su Yang walked in, sat down opposite her, and put his bag on the empty seat on the other side.

"It's okay, I just arrived not long ago too." Ni Sangwan smiled and gestured to the waiter.

After the waiter understood, he handed over two menus and introduced their restaurant's signature dishes, new products, and dishes worth trying.

After they ordered their meals, the waiter left the booth and the room instantly fell into silence.

"Ms. Su, you should know that Azhan and I are childhood sweethearts and grew up together, right?" After a while, Ni Sangwan spoke slowly, breaking the weird and somewhat depressing atmosphere.

Su Yang paused while drinking water, a hint of deep meaning flashed across his eyes, knowing that her sudden proposal to have dinner together today must be more than just a simple meal.

"Yeah, I know." Su Yang continued to sip the ice water and replied nonchalantly.

"Did A-Zhan tell you that?"

"Xixi said so." Su Yang put down the water cup. "On the day of the show, Rong Zhan was not free, so she dragged me to go. By the way, she told me that after the show, Rong Zhan also told me that you, Rong Zhan, Xi Youlin, Shi Qingxun and Rong Xi grew up together, including that you lived in Rong Garden for a period of time when you were a child. He also said that you are just siblings. Don't worry, Miss Ni, I won't misunderstand."

Ni Sangwan's eyes darkened slightly, and her words blocked all the words that were about to come out of her throat.

As the saying goes, it is better to strike first than to gain the upper hand. First make it clear that you will not misunderstand her, so that she won't deliberately stir up trouble with words.

"When A-Zhan married you, I was in closed training. When I saw that report, I was very surprised and unbelievable. To be honest with you, it might be out of curiosity. I wonder what the person who was chosen by Grandma Rong and Aunt Yun, and who A-Zhan did not reject but happily accepted, looked like and what kind of person he was. I even specially asked someone to investigate you."

Su Yang listened calmly, her pretty face still keeping calm and without any ups and downs.

Looking at her calm appearance, he chuckled: "I have to admit that you are very beautiful and excellent, but apart from the flaw of your family background, your appearance is the only thing that can match A-Zhan."

"Miss Ni, it sounds like you are praising me, but actually you are hinting at me." Su Yang raised her red lips slightly, not getting annoyed: "Perhaps, in your eyes, the only person who can fully match Rong Zhan is you. Indeed, the affection between childhood sweethearts cannot be replaced by someone like me who just dropped in."

Seeing that she said it so clearly, Ni Sangwan got straight to the point, raised her eyebrows, and spoke bluntly.

"Ah Zhan has always been aloof. When he encounters something unpleasant, he will be very irritable and even often faint for unknown reasons. Because of this, no girl except Xixi and me can get close to him. So, I feel that I am the only one in the world who has the qualifications and power to stand beside him."

"Before my grandfather passed away, he tried to match him and me up, but Grandma Rong rejected it. Ah Zhan didn't say anything either, so I felt that he didn't seem to reject this marriage, but the timing was not right and he just needed to wait a little longer. But I didn't expect this to be the result."

"So... Miss Ni, are you implying that I stole your marriage?" Su Yang sneered and asked bluntly.

“Isn’t it?” Ni Sangwan spread her hands and watched the waiter serve the meal and leave before continuing, “Although this was Grandma Rong’s decision, 1 billion is indeed a huge temptation for your Su family, but emotionally speaking, you…Su Yang, stole my marriage, and that’s also a fact.”

"Oh."

Su Yang picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fried cheese, then laughed contemptuously.

Hearing her laughter, Ni Sangwan felt as if he was being looked down upon. He felt a little uncomfortable and frowned.

"Miss Ni said with certainty that I stole your marriage, so how can you be sure that this marriage will definitely be yours?"

Su Yang took another sip of cream of mushroom soup, raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, and then said calmly: "That's just your imagination. With Rong Zhan's personality and temper, if he wants to marry you, he will insist on marrying you even if grandma objects."

"After the show, Miss Ni called him and told him that she had sprained her foot and asked him to pick you up. Including the photo you posted on WeChat Moments last time, I know your intentions. I'll tell you the truth. As the daughter of Ni's International Luxury Jewelry and an international supermodel, Miss Ni's little actions are too shameful."

"I have a stepsister named Su Mo. She often uses these little tricks to disgust me. I'm used to it, so these things don't have much impact on me. Miss Ni is such a noble and proud person. She really lowers her status by using these methods frequently."

"I still say that, it's true that you and Rong Zhan are childhood sweethearts, but it's also true that Rong Zhan and I are already husband and wife." Su Yang wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and said in a cold tone: "If he had any interest in you, I wouldn't be sitting opposite you today."

Ni Sangwan pursed her lips, and every word she said was like a sharp blade piercing into her heart.

Her built-up pride and self-esteem were trampled underfoot.

"Then are you sure he is sincere to you? The Rong family is willing to spend 1 billion to marry you, why do you think it is for? If it weren't for Grandma Rong's superstition..."

"It's my ability to make them willing to spend 1 billion to marry me. Since Miss Ni and he are childhood sweethearts, even if your grandfather stepped in, he still couldn't make this marriage happen. Wasn't it rejected by grandma?" Su Yang interrupted her coldly, with a hint of sharpness in his calm almond eyes.

"Miss Ni, there is no need to target me like this. It's useless. My marriage with Rong Zhan will end only if you can convince grandma to let Rong Zhan divorce me. That's your ability."

Happy 520! My lovely fairies, be sweet!      (End of this chapter)
