Honesty
The call finally connected, and Qin Beichen's anger burned again. He shouted angrily: "Ning Qian, you are really great!"
"It's you?" Ning Qian was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qin Beichen to change his number to contact her.
Her tone quickly cooled down and she asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"
To Qin Beichen, this sounded as if he was sticking to Ning Qian like a dog-skin plaster, which was difficult for him to accept from the bottom of his heart.
"Ning Qian, you really have a bad memory. Don't you know what you did to Yu Jiangnan last time?"
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Qian was really angry now, completely forgetting that Sheng Yuanhan was still standing beside her. She cursed, "Silly eagle, you contacted me again because of this trivial matter between you two. Let me tell you, even if you are free, I don't have time to accompany you."
"You actually think you're not wrong?" Qin Beichen on the other end of the phone was furious. "If you hadn't been pestering me all this time, how could Jiang Nan have misunderstood me so deeply? She and I wouldn't have gotten to this point. She's lying in a hospital bed, her life or death unknown. Are you satisfied now?"
Life or death unknown? How could this sentence make people understand, but he couldn't put the blame on her.
Ning Qian said sternly, "I don't know what conflict has arisen between you two. Let me make it clear again that you two have nothing to do with me. If you harass me again, I will hire a lawyer to sue you."
After that, she hung up the phone and blacklisted the number again.
When she raised her head, she found Sheng Yuanhan staring at her with confusion and inquiry in his eyes, as if he was wondering which man she had a conflict with.
He actually has such a gossipy side?
No, Ning Qian realized quickly that he was now her boyfriend in name only and her big boss behind the scenes, so she had to be honest with him about her relationship with other men.
Then how should she explain it to Sheng Yuanhan? If she tells him that this is just a narcissist who has been pestering her, will he believe it?
Furthermore, if Qin Beichen produced evidence that she had liked him before, how would she prove herself?
Just thinking about it made Ning Qian feel overwhelmed.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. At this moment, an idea flashed through her mind. Since lies will eventually be exposed, it is better to confess from the beginning.
Ning Qian tried her best to appear sincere and said seriously, "I liked him before."
“…”
A hint of disbelief flashed across Sheng Yuanhan's narrow eyes.
"But that was in the past. He has his own girlfriend now, but he still keeps pestering me."
No emotion could be seen in Sheng Yuanhan's deep eyes.
"I'm very distressed, and I'm also afraid that you will misunderstand." Ning Qian said dejectedly.
Now Sheng Yuanhan finally spoke, "What misunderstanding?"
Ning Qian tilted her head to look at him, feeling a little embarrassed to speak. Finally, she said shyly, "You are my boyfriend now, so I have to consider your feelings. I am afraid that he will pester me and make others laugh at us."
us……
Sheng Yuanhan's mind suddenly moved, [Is she treating us as one, sharing honor and disgrace?]
Ning Qian appeared to be patiently waiting for his reaction, but she was actually very nervous inside, worried that Sheng Yuanhan would think she was a fickle woman and revoke the agreement with him.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes were filled with unfathomable emotions. After a long pause, he finally opened his mouth: "Can you do this alone? Do you need me to arrange for someone to help you?"
Ning Qian was caught off guard by his answer, which reminded her of the second time they met. He was also so kind and asked her if she needed help.
Yes, he is such a gentleman, how can I question his character.
She shook her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sheng. I can take care of this."
Sheng Yuanhan was a little surprised that this girl, who seemed strong but was actually showing off, actually refused his help.
Thinking about the argument Ning Qian had just had with the person on the other end of the phone, and thinking about the things that were not so easy to solve for her, since she didn't need his help, she must have her own ideas.
However, she said she didn't need help, but that didn't mean she would just stand by and watch.
Sheng Yuanhan didn't notice the surprise that flashed across Ning Qian's eyes. When he turned around, he reminded Ning Qian as usual, "Remember to call me Yuanhan next time."
The tone was gentle but a little overbearing.
After Sheng Yuanhan went upstairs, Ning Qian was still frozen in place. What did he mean by what he had just said? Was he going to be her protector?
_
Two days later, it was the 6th, the day she was going home.
When Sheng Yuanhan heard that she was going home today, he didn't ask too many questions. He just raised his eyelids slightly and arranged for someone and a car to take her back.
It is not far from Xilin District to Beiwang District, and it only takes more than half an hour to drive.
Ning Qian rode in a Rolls-Royce all the way across the Changbei Bridge, overlooking the white-green river water, feeling the refreshing river breeze, and felt a little dazed.
I've been enjoying my stay at the Sheng family lately and don't want to leave. I feel a little melancholy on the way home.
Ning Ze heard that his sister was going home today, so he asked his teacher for a day off and stood at the door early waiting for Ning Qian to come back.
The Rolls-Royce was parked quietly at the door of the villa, and Xiao He accompanied Ning Qian out of the car.
Ning Qian thought she had to wait for Chen Ma to come out and open the door, but she saw Ning Ze open the iron gate of the villa in surprise.
"Sister, you're finally back!"
Ning Ze was excited but also looked at Xiao He warily.
"Ning Ze, why don't you go to class today?" Ning Qian looked at him puzzledly. He is already in his third year of high school, how can he stay at home unless it is a holiday?
Ning Ze ruffled his hair and said, "My brother told me you were coming back today, so I took a leave of absence."
Ning Qian glanced at him and said, "Don't tell me you're asking for leave on purpose to be lazy."
"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person." Ning Ze curled his lips and pursed his lips again, "Sister, who is he? Why did you bring a strange man home?"
"How can you talk like that, little brat?"
Ning Qian knocked his forehead with her backhand, "Call me uncle now, you are so disrespectful."
Ning Ze had no choice but to call out obediently, "Hello, uncle."
Xiao He, who was wearing sunglasses and looked ferocious, nodded with a serious face, which was regarded as a response.
In fact, Xiao He is only 26 years old this year. He looks like an uncle because he has a strong appearance, tanned skin, and a shaved head.
"Wow, sister, what kind of fancy car are you driving? You even have a driver."
Only then did Ning Ze notice the noble and luxurious car in front of him. He walked forward and carefully touched the taillight. When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the license plate was North A88888.
He was startled and immediately realized that this was not his sister's car. It was also true that it had only been half a month and his sister would never be able to make such a name for herself.
Ning Qian saw his worried look and comforted him, "This is my friend's car. He sent it specially to take me back."
"Oh, sis, your friend is awesome!"
Ning Ze gave a thumbs up. He was not an ignorant boy. He had some knowledge about car types and license plates. He knew that people who could drive such cars were either rich or noble, and they could not get them through hard work.
Ning Qian smiled faintly, not commenting. Suddenly, she noticed an unfamiliar car parked in the villa and asked, "Who is here?"
Ning Ze took a glance and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's my uncle's car."
"My uncle is here?" Ning Qian remembered that Jiang Sha had mentioned it on the phone before.
Ning Ze was a little irritated when he mentioned him. "He came. It was so annoying. He asked me about my grades as soon as he came. Mom scolded me again."
“…” As expected, children hate being asked these questions.
When Sheng Yuanhan learned that she had a younger brother who was about to take the college entrance examination, he politely asked her if she wanted to bring a stack of high school materials back. Fortunately, she decisively refused.
My younger brother has his own blessings, so why should she worry about him?
Ning Ze led them both into the villa and shouted, "Sister is back~"
Ning Zhengqing, looking handsome in a slim-fit suit, was sitting on the sofa chatting with Jiang Zhen.
But no matter what Jiang Zhen said, he remained unmoved.
Hearing Ning Qian coming back, he immediately stood up and looked back.
"Brother, isn't the company busy today?"
Ning Qian felt relieved when she saw her brother was there.
"Busy." Ning Zhengqing paused and continued, "But Dad has returned from his business trip and is now handling matters at the company."
Ning Qian nodded. Her father was a invisible figure in this family and she rarely met him.
"Is this my eldest niece? Wow, she's grown into a beautiful lady after not seeing her for a few years."
Jiang Zhen had a slicked-back hair, a sturdy build, and was wearing a blue vest and suit, with a cigarette in his right hand.
Ning Qian didn't have any good impression of him at first sight.
Jiang Sha came out of the kitchen at this time and saw Ning Qian standing there in a daze. The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"You've learned so much from reading that you don't even know how to greet your elders when you see them."
Ning Qian frowned slightly and called out "Uncle" helplessly.
Jiang Zhen didn't care about this. He glanced at Xiao He behind Ning Qian and said teasingly, "Did you bring your boyfriend back?"
Ning Qian was about to deny it when Qin Zhen said with disdain, "Why do you look so old?"
"Click... snap"
Xiao He was cracking his fingers behind her.
Ning Qian stood in front of Xiao He. She was really afraid that Xiao He would make a move and knock down this ignorant uncle.
"Don't talk nonsense, he is my boyfriend's bodyguard, and he came back with me today."
The smile on Ning Zhengqing's face disappeared instantly.
"Boyfriend's bodyguard?" Jiang Sha reacted immediately. The anxiety on her face didn't seem to be an act. "When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Zhen shook off the cigarette ash, which fell on the white porcelain tiles, and grinned sarcastically, "Girls really can't be kept at home when they grow up. It's a pity that the family I was introduced to is a truly wealthy family. It seems that I won't be able to enjoy it."
Jiang Sha stepped forward and pushed her twice, "You're really wild. Learn to find a boyfriend on your own."
Seeing them mocking her again and again, Ning Qian stopped being polite and said coldly, "This is my own business. If you called me back to teach me a lesson, then there's no need to call me back in the future."
"you……"
Before Jiang Sha could say anything else, she was interrupted by Ning Zhengqing.
"Mom, please stop talking. My sister is an adult and she has her own ideas."
