"Mr. Li, I'm really grateful for your sponsorship of the inheritance competition..." Manager Zhao saw that the other judges had already started chatting with Li Lingyang, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his palms and said eagerly.
Li Lingyang was surrounded by people, like a king ruling the world, sitting there indifferently, neither salty nor indifferent.
Hearing Manager Zhao's compliment, he looked up and just wanted to perfunctorily leave. However, when his eyes passed through Manager Zhao and fell on Ning Yichu beside him, a hint of strangeness suddenly appeared in his eyes...
Ning Yichu was dressed in a very professional suit today and put on some simple makeup, looking much more refined than she was five years ago.
"Xiao Ning, come in quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Manager Zhao quickly winked at Ning Yichu, his excited look completely different from his image on the stage.
Ning Yichu's expression gradually turned cold. "Manager Zhao, is this what you meant by the organizer inviting the contestants to a dinner?"
"Xiao Ning, how can you talk like that in front of President Li? Come, say hello to President Li." Manager Zhao seemed to have not expected Ning Yichu to be so rude, and immediately pulled Ning Yichu from behind.
Ning Yichu obviously did not expect him to do this. He suddenly lost his balance, spread his hands out involuntarily, staggered and fell forward heavily, like an onion falling headfirst.
This scared Manager Zhao quite a bit.
He was trying to pull Ning Yichu, but in the next second, the tall man who was originally sitting at the dining table suddenly stood up, grabbed Ning Yichu with his big hand, and held him in his arms.
When Ning Yichu came to her senses again, she was already sitting steadily on Li Lingyang's thighs, her whole face buried in the man's neck, instantly creating a negative distance.
The man's big hand was on her waist...
Through the thin shirt, he caressed her lower back with his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally.
It was as if a tiny electric current was flowing through the body.
Then, a warmth spread from the place where he caressed my lower back to other parts of my body, and my body became hot!
The air seemed to be quiet for a moment, and Ning Yichu immediately jumped up as if on fire, with a forced smile, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
There was suddenly a sense of emptiness in his arms, and Li Lingyang couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or annoyed.
This woman had clearly betrayed him, she had clearly found a new lover, and he had clearly warned himself repeatedly to stay away from her...
But when I saw her about to fall just now, I hugged her reflexively.
A dark flash passed through Li Lingyang's eyes, and he imitated her indifferent manner and said, "You're welcome. Come sit together."
He took the opportunity to invite Ning Yichu to take a seat.
Ning Yichu, "Sorry, I remembered something urgent happened, I'm afraid I have to leave first, everyone enjoy your meal..."
"Xiao Ning!" Manager Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Li is such a great person, it's a great blessing for you that he took the initiative to invite you..."
Privately, he lowered his voice and warned Ning Yichu, "Don't forget that you are participating in the competition on behalf of the Arctic Group. It would be difficult to explain if you lose, right?"
Ning Yichu gave a cold sneer. What was going on? Was he using the competition to threaten her?
Just when Manager Zhao thought Ning Yichu would obey, Ning Yichu suddenly said, "I have to go pick up my daughter. She doesn't like the smell of alcohol on me. It would be a spoiler for me to stay here and eat with everyone. Please do as you please!"
After she finished speaking, she walked away, completely ignoring Manager Zhao's dark face.
Li Lingyang looked at her carefree back and actually felt...
I feel itchy in my heart.
Manager Zhao was almost going crazy, but he still managed to force a smile on his face, "Boss Li, look at what happened. I'm so embarrassed. It's all my fault for acting on my own..."
…
After Ning Yichu left the restaurant, he realized that it was raining.
And today she happened to...
I didn't bring an umbrella.
Weather forecasts are really deceiving.
Ning Yichu had no choice but to find a place nearby to shelter from the rain and take a taxi. In fact, she had not lied just now. Ningning really didn't like the smell of alcohol on her, and she was indeed going to pick Ningning up now.
She has been very busy recently, and considering returning to Europe soon, she has not chosen a kindergarten for Ningning yet.
This also resulted in Ningning having nothing to do every day. Either Aunt Wang took her out to play, or she went out to play with other children from the neighborhood...
She was considering whether to give the little girl a half-day after-school class when she unexpectedly ran into Delia and a pretty girl in her twenties.
Ji Shiwan was adorned with jewels, wearing a white fishtail skirt, an emerald necklace around her neck, and a large, glittering diamond ring on her hand, looking like a walking jewelry display case.
Delia, who has always discriminated against Asians, was surprisingly polite to her. It seemed that she was either a client or very wealthy.
"It's you?" Delia was stunned when she saw Ning Yichu, then sarcastically said, "Hey, weren't you recommended by President Mo to participate in the competition? Why are you here?"
Ji Shiwan had only heard of Ning Yichu in the gossip group and had never interacted with her. She also didn't know what she looked like. She asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"
"Ning Yichu, our CEO Mo opened a jade carving studio in the imperial capital, and she's the person in charge..."
"Are you Ning Yichu?" Ji Shiwan remembered that she had said something bad about Ning Yichu last time, which was why Mo Boyu mocked her. She was immediately furious and said arrogantly, "I heard that you made jade carvings for Mrs. Zheng's family, and the price was over a thousand per gram? Did you know that master jade carvers only charge this much? You are really crazy about money!!"
Ning Yichu didn't recognize the woman in front of him. He raised his eyebrows lazily, "Who are you?"
