Get on Mr. Sheng's car
next day
Ning Qian's plan to avoid entertaining guests fell through.
She originally planned to go to the company with her brother this morning, but she didn't expect that her brother worked overtime too late last night and encountered a sudden heavy rain, so he had to stay overnight at the company.
Without a reasonable excuse, Ning Qian wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
She comforted herself and took things one step at a time.
If I don't want to, can Jiang Sha force me?
At noon, she tried to avoid the mealtime as usual, but she didn't expect that when she went down an hour later, Jiang Sha was still waiting for her at the table.
Her father often has to go out of town to investigate the market, her brother didn't come back last night, and her younger brother lives in a private school and will only come back on weekends. The huge first floor is silent.
Ning Qian felt depressed and wanted to turn back.
"Hey, what are you wearing today?" Jiang Sha asked unhappily.
Ning Qian looked down and saw long sleeves and sports shorts.
This combination looks very sloppy and lazy.
"What's the problem? Just wear whatever you want at home."
Jiang Sha slammed the table angrily, "There will be a distinguished guest coming to visit us later, go upstairs and change your clothes and dress up."
"No thanks." Ning Qian refused coldly.
"What do you mean by no need? The Shen family is visiting us personally today. Are you trying to embarrass our Ning family by looking so shabby?"
Ning Qian thought it was really funny. Jiang Sha knew what kind of person Shen Zong was, and she wanted to push her into the fire pit. She asked back, "Since it's the Ning family that's losing face, not the Jiang family, don't worry."
"You dare to talk back? Do you dare to say it again? Did I raise you so big just for you to talk back to me?"
Jiang Sha's face was grim, and she stood up suddenly.
Ning Qian suddenly realized that Jiang Sha always used filial piety to suppress her when teaching her a lesson.
Since he wants to use filial piety to kidnap me, then I will use morality to kidnap him back.
"Isn't it natural for you to raise me? A nanny brought me up since I was little, and all I eat and drink is paid for by my father. How much money have you ever given me?"
Since Jiang Sha got married, she has been living a life of luxury in the Ning family, a wealthy lady who has never had to do housework.
"Did your father earn it? Isn't the money your father earned also the money for my wife and me?" Jiang Sha was furious. She didn't expect that she would raise such a selfish and ungrateful daughter.
Ning Qian smiled coldly, "So what? I'm spending the money my father earned. If you want to divide your joint property, wait until you get divorced."
"This is outrageous! I worked so hard to give birth to you, and you want to tear my heart out like this!"
"So you blame me for being born? Then why didn't you beat me up in the first place?"
Jiang Sha was so angry that veins popped out of her hands. "I really regret not throwing you away."
Ning Qian glanced at her coldly and laughed at herself, "It's not too late to lose it now."
"Get out, get out of my house!" Jiang Sha grabbed the bowl and smashed it to the ground.
Usually when his father and brother were around, Jiang Sha was always kind and friendly, but when she was left alone, her expression immediately changed.
"Okay."
This is exactly what Ning Qian was waiting for.
"Oh, ma'am, please don't be angry." A slim nanny came running over.
When Aunt Chen heard the sound of breaking ceramics, she also ran over.
"Second Miss, please apologize to the Madam quickly."
Ning Qian ignored him and ran out without looking back.
"Second Miss..." Aunt Chen called from behind.
"Auntie Chen, don't bother with her. Tell her to get out. I'll pretend I never gave birth to this daughter!" Jiang Sha smashed the bowls in her hand one after another.
Mother Chen and the other nanny looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Jiang Sha's emotions finally stabilized.
Aunt Chen kindly reminded, "Madam, the Second Miss is not here. Do you still need to entertain guests later?"
Jiang Sha smoothed the folds on her skirt and tried to keep her voice steady. "Of course, that's Mrs. Shen from a wealthy family. You must not neglect your guests."
"I understand, ma'am." Aunt Chen nodded.
Mother Chen sighed in her heart, thinking that the second young lady was really too ignorant. If her adopted daughter could marry into such a family, she wouldn't have to suffer everywhere.
She really doesn't know how to appreciate what she has.

Ning Qian felt that she was somewhat unlucky. As soon as she went out, it started to rain loudly. The whole street here was full of single-family villas and fences, and there was no suitable place to shelter from the rain.
She glanced at the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds. The rain wasn't going to stop any time soon.
My long, loose sleeves were already half wet, so I had to find a hotel to stay in quickly.
"Beep——" a car horn sounded.
Ning Qian looked back.
Two large G-class cars with graceful body lines led the way, with a jet-black and noble Rolls-Royce slowly driving in the middle.
As the Rolls-Royce slowly drove past her, she vaguely saw the exquisite and elegant man inside through the window.
He sat upright in the back seat of the car, looking calm, as if he noticed someone outside the car. Looking sideways, he saw only a strand of hair blown by the wind.
Not only was it raining outside, but there was also a strong wind.
Ning Qian wanted to say something but stopped herself. She gave up the idea of hitchhiking and put the hood of her thin sweatshirt on her head, trying to protect herself from the wind and rain.
"Swish——" is the sound of the tire stopping.
She found that the car that had just driven away backed up and stopped in front of her.
The car window gradually lowered, revealing the man's impeccable profile.
Ning Qian looked at Sheng Yuanhan in amazement, not knowing what he meant.
After a moment, the crystal rain wet her cheeks, and her trembling eyelashes blinked and dripped with water droplets.
Just as she was considering whether to speak first, she suddenly heard Sheng Yuanhan's voice.
【Why don’t you get in the car yet? 】
Ning Qian was speechless. You didn't say a word, not even to me. How should I know what you were thinking?
[How stupid! You didn't even bother to speak up when you were soaked like this.]
Sheng Yuanhan looked straight ahead, calm and composed.
Ning Qian glanced at him helplessly. It seemed that a person of such noble status did not know what it meant to take the initiative.
She bent her index finger and knocked on the car window, and asked quietly: "Hello, can you give me a ride?"
Sheng Yuanhan's originally calm eyes suddenly became turbulent. He looked at Ning Qian slowly, with a cold and distant expression on his face. His voice was light and clear, "Okay."
[Would you like to move down to the left and give her this seat?]
[But the seat I just sat in is warm.]
If I didn't get out of the car to open the door, would she think I was ungentlemanly?
While Sheng Yuanhan was thinking expressionlessly, Ning Qian sat in the passenger seat.
Since he is so conflicted, I should not make things difficult for him.
When Ning Qian got into the car, she was worried about whether she would dirty other people's car.
But on second thought, Sheng Yuanhan is so rich, he should not care about such a small detail.
When the driver saw her get in the car, he looked incredulous, as if he couldn't understand why Mr. Sheng let a strange woman get in the car.
He asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
Ning Qian didn't know where to go. She just wanted to escape from the depressing atmosphere of the villa, but she hadn't figured out what to do next.
Now she is like a duckweed floating on the water, free but with no home.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Just drop me off in a crowded place."
The driver looked back at Sheng Yuanhan, asking for his opinion.
Sheng Yuanhan still sat upright and nodded slightly.
Ning Qian took off her hat and smoothed her wet hair.
She wasn't even curious about my appearance on this street.
Ning Qian's fingers paused, and Sheng Yuanhan's thoughts came to her mind again. What did he mean by this? Could his appearance be related to me?
Ning Qian took a peek at Sheng Yuanhan through the rearview mirror and saw that he looked as aloof as ever, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
Since he thinks so, why not take the courage to ask him?
Ning Qian turned around and looked at Sheng Yuanhan, smiling brightly. "Thank you so much today. Is your home nearby as well?"
She regretted it after asking. She thought of his family's big manor, and she walked to a place where her legs were weak and she had to walk out.
Sheng Yuanhan blinked his long, dark eyelashes slightly, his expression still cold. He glanced at her face and replied, "No."
Ning Qian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Then why did you pass by here?"
Sheng Yuanhan looked at the scenery going away outside the window and said truthfully, "I am going to visit an old man today and happened to pass by here."
Ning Qian let out a long "Oh" and complained in her heart, since it's not about me, why does he make me curious about him? It's really incomprehensible.
【Why is she here? 】
Seeing that he was so curious, Ning Qian started talking about the topic.
"Mr. Sheng, I remember seeing you in the hotel last time. Do you still remember me?"
Sheng Yuanhan raised his eyelids and glanced at her briefly, then shook his head in confusion, "No."
[How stupid! This is the third time we've met.]
Ning Qian saw that he was saying one thing and thinking another, and gave him a strange look.
Is it so embarrassing to know her?
"Mr. Sheng, do you really not remember me? But I always remember you." Ning Qian teased him intentionally.
"Why?" Sheng Yuanhan asked puzzledly.
[Heh…really impressed? The last time we met in the elevator, it wasn't like this.]
Hearing this, Ning Qian suddenly realized that he was pretending not to remember her because she did not take the initiative to greet him while waiting for the elevator.
But she didn't mean to do that. With Sheng Yuanhan's cold and aloof temperament, who would dare to approach him and get in his way?
When I think about it this way, he is such a stingy man.
"Mr. Sheng, don't you know? Wherever you go, you are the highlight of the crowd. You are unforgettable at first sight."
For Ning Qian, praising others is as easy as pie.
A hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Sheng Yuanhan's calm eyes. He paused for a long moment before saying, "Thank you for the compliment."
【hypocritical】
Ning Qian thought she could easily grasp the boss's mind, but she didn't expect that a word of hypocrisy almost made her doubt her life.
There was really nothing to say now. If I praised him, he would slander me. Ning Qian decided to stop talking nonsense and close his eyes to rest.
The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly through the villa areas and came to the bustling city street, and dropped her off next to a crowded square. At this time, her wet hair was almost dry.
Passersby who stopped to watch thought that a stunning beauty would get out of the car, but they didn't expect it to be a woman with disheveled hair and unkempt appearance.
Ning Qian still caught a cold and kept sneezing after getting off the car. "A-choo~ Thank you, Mr. Sheng. A-choo~ I'm leaving now."
Sheng Yuanhan lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together, and made a faint "hmm" sound in his throat, and the car window closed automatically.
Ning Qian had no time to think about his thoughts, so she just found a clothing store and bought a few sets of clothes.
There was only one five-star hotel nearby. She weighed her wallet and went in. By the time she had washed up and lay down on the bed, it was already 1 p.m.
At this time, Ning Zhengqing, who had returned home for dinner, learned from the servants' words that Ning Qian had a conflict with her family and ran away from home.
He looked at the brand new dishes and chopsticks in his hands, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
At this moment, a mother and son appeared outside the door. The woman looked conceited and arrogant, while the man had dark and swollen bags under his eyes, which made people feel unhappy...
_
Ning Qian glanced at the incoming call and finally answered it.
"Ning Qian, where are you now?" Ning Zhengqing's voice sounded quite anxious.
"Don't worry about me, bro. I'm fine."
At this time, the takeaway she ordered arrived. It was a big box of fragrant spicy crayfish, which made her salivate.
Ning Qian simply turned on the speaker and concentrated on eating shrimp.
Soon a "rustling" sound was heard.
Ning Zhengqing paused for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Are you crying? Don't be sad. I've already scolded Mom. She won't do this to you again next time."
Ning Qian responded while slurping on some crayfish, "I'm not crying. I'm eating."
"Are you really okay? Where are you now? I'll go out to pick you up." Ning Zhengqing asked again.
"No need, brother, I plan to relax outside for a while."
"When will you be back?"
"I'll be back in a few days. I won't say anything more. That's it."
Ning Qian was afraid of saying a few more words, so she softened her heart and went back. Her brother was very nice to her, and she didn't want him to be caught in the middle.
At this moment, stumbling footsteps were heard in the hotel corridor.
"I was really pissed off today. I was kicked out by a jerk without mercy."
"I'll find someone to kill him sooner or later. How dare a nouveau riche with no foundation dare to challenge the emperor?"
There was a cursing sound coming from outside the door.
Who's causing trouble outside? Ning Qian pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"Do you really think his sister is any good? If someone didn't pay me to have sex with her, I wouldn't even look at her. Ugh."
"That kid from the Ning family, next time I see him, I'll make him kneel on the ground and call me grandpa."
"Oh, be careful, Brother Chen, I can't support you anymore." A weak and boneless voice sounded.
"Good sister, you are still gentle. Let me kiss your little mouth again."
"Hate it, there are too many people here, let's go inside and talk."
“Baji…Baji…”
"Well... Mr. Shen, please don't kiss me. My makeup will be ruined."
"What are you afraid of? I'll buy the entire cosmetics store for you later and you can use it as you like."
"real?"
"Tsk, why don't you ask me what my name is? Let alone this insignificant little shop, I would buy you half of Beijing North. My dear sister, please stop hiding. I am itching to death."
"Well, remember to be gentle."
…
Ning Qian's face changed slightly behind the door. What a narrow road for enemies to cross. She met this guy with a beastly heart in human skin here!
