Meet Yu Jiangnan
When Ning Qian entered the house, she saw Jiang Sha lying on the sofa on the first floor, with a manicurist beside her helping her paint her nails.
Seeing Ning Qian coming in, she lazily said, "You still remember to come back? I thought you didn't have this family in your heart anymore."
Then, he glanced at the skirt she was wearing and asked in surprise: "Where have you been? And where did you buy this skirt? It doesn't look cheap."
"Where's my brother? Is he upstairs?"
Ning Qian ignored her and walked straight to the elevator.
"You silly girl, you've grown too independent and refuse to tell me anything." Jiang Sha scolded angrily.
Ning Qian saw that she was showing off in front of outsiders and was too lazy to argue with her.
If a quarrel really breaks out, the Ning family will lose all their face and dignity.
Jiang Sha felt bored when she saw Ning Qian ignored her.
"Your brother is upstairs. By the way, don't tell him that I told you."
"I understand." Ning Qian replied.
She probably figured out Jiang Sha's character, and as long as she didn't fight with her, she could still live a peaceful life.
Seeing her so obedient, Jiang Sha's expression froze slightly. Seeing her back looking more and more like her younger self, her heart softened. "The food is in the pot. Eat it yourself when you're hungry later."
The elevator door had already closed heavily, and Ning Qian did not hear her words clearly.
After Ning Qian came out from the third floor, she first went to Ning Zhengqing's room.
The door was locked. She knocked for a while but no one came out, so she went back to her room.
The two rooms were only ten meters apart, not far.
When I got closer, I saw that the door of my room was half open.
Ning Qian glanced sideways and saw a woman lying on the bed and her brother sitting on a stool.
She recognized the woman on the bed as Yu Jiangnan at a glance.
What followed was trembling hands and an expression of disbelief on his face.
The sound of her pushing the door open startled the people in the room. The moment Ning Zhengqing stood up, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
For the first time, his usually calm face showed such obvious panic, and the apple in his hand fell to the ground.
"Ning Qian, you're back?"
Yu Jiangnan was even more shocked. She didn't expect that the man in front of her was Ning Qian's brother.
She immediately sat up from the bed and asked timidly, "Is this your home?"
Ning Qian's face was gloomy. She was not angry because her bed was occupied, nor was she disgusted because of seeing Yu Jiangnan.
But after traveling through the book for so long, Ning Zhengqing and Yu Jiangnan didn't have much actual interaction, so how come they ended up together?
Is it possible that their fate in the book is fixed and cannot be changed through struggle?
"Ning Qian, let's go out and talk so as not to scare the guests."
Ning Zhengqing pushed Ning Qian out of the door, and did not forget to turn back and give Yu Jiangnan a reassuring look.
"Brother, when did you two know each other?" Ning Qian asked straight to the point.
Judging from the degree of eye contact between the two just now, they were probably somewhat familiar with each other.
Ning Zhengqing paused and said, "Actually, we've known each other longer than you think, but we didn't exchange contact information back then. I brought her back this time for a reason."
Seeing Ning Qian remained silent, he continued, "I know you were unhappy seeing someone else sleeping in your room, but she was very weak at the time, and the other rooms had been vacant for a long time. I was worried she might not be comfortable living there, so I took the initiative to let her sleep here."
"Don't worry, after she leaves, I will replace the entire bed, and you can..."
"Brother." Ning Qian interrupted him.
Ning Zhengqing swallowed silently, his eyes full of regret.
"Do you know she has a boyfriend? You took the initiative to bring her back. Aren't you afraid her boyfriend will think too much?"
Ning Qian scolded.
Ning Zhengqing was confused as he listened to her accusations. "Little sister, how do you know if she has a boyfriend?"
"Don't worry about how I know it, she just has it."
"It doesn't matter if there is one. I'm upright anyway."
Ning Qian was furious when he heard him say that. "Brother, do you know that a gentleman doesn't take away what others love?"
Ning Zhengqing glanced at her sideways, "I didn't say I like her, what are you thinking about?"
Ning Qian was stunned.
"You don't like her?"
"Yeah, I just feel sorry for her."
Ning Qian nudged him with her elbow. "There are so many pitiful people out there, why do you have to pity her?"
Ning Zhengqing knocked her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I just happened to meet you."
As he spoke, he leaned close to her ear and added, "Hush, she's Aunt Chen's adopted daughter. Aunt Chen has worked hard for our family for over ten years. You can't be so cold-blooded."
Ning Qian looked at him in slight surprise. She had never heard that Chen Ma had an adopted daughter.
"Well, now that you're back, I'll let her sleep in another room to prevent my eldest daughter from sulking."
Ning Zhengqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had coaxed Ning Qian.
Ning Qian snorted coldly. Why didn’t she do that before? Now she knew she would mind.
“Crunch…”
Yu Jiangnan inside had already packed his luggage and walked out staggeringly.
"Why are you up?" Ning Zhengqing hurried over.
Ning Qian took a glance and saw that he looked so nervous, unlike the righteous look he had just had.
"I..." Yu Jiangnan's eyes were filled with tears. "I'd better leave first. I'm sorry for disturbing you these past two days."
Ning Qian was confused. Before she could say anything, Yu Jiangnan started to feel wronged.
"You're not well yet. Stay here and Aunt Chen can take better care of you." Ning Zhengqing advised.
Ning Qian was not as kind as him and questioned her directly, "Does Qin Beichen know you are here?"
When Yu Jiangnan heard her mention Qin Beichen, surprise and avoidance flashed in his eyes.
"He... doesn't know."
"Then what do you think he would feel if he knew you were here?"
Based on Ning Qian's understanding of Qin Beichen, he was probably going to come and cause a big fuss.
Yu Jiangnan didn't want to mention this person, so he turned his head and said, "Don't talk about him anymore. I don't want to hear it."
"This name sounds familiar." Ning Zhengqing frowned, wondering where he had heard this name before.
"He's a psychopath. Brother, you don't need to know this person." Ning Qian felt nauseous when thinking of Qin Beichen.
"......" Ning Zhengqing was thinking about whether he should teach Ning Qian to be more polite.
Yu Jiangnan was unhappy when she heard this. She just cut off contact with Qin Beichen at that moment, which did not mean that she did not love him anymore.
She glanced at Ning Qian with resentment, "Ms. Ning, although I know you have some opinions about me, please don't take your dissatisfaction with me out on Beichen."
"Then you really misunderstood me. My dissatisfaction with him is not because of you, but because he is a neurotic person." Ning Qian said disdainfully.
In the original book, Yu Jiangnan was with Qin Beichen in order to investigate the reason for her father's suicide. Later, after discovering that her father's business went bankrupt due to his own poor management, and not due to Qin's suppression and bankruptcy, she officially got together with Qin Beichen.
Judging from the time now, the two have just been together for a short time, and there are constant conflicts during the adjustment period. Even if they break up now, they will get back together later.
Not only will they get back together, but they will also make those around them miserable, as if it is an indispensable part of their relationship.
"You're going too far!" Yu Jiangnan suddenly yelled at Ning Qian.
Before Ning Qian could react, Ning Zhengqing had already stood up to defend her.
"Miss Yu, my sister has always been outspoken, but she's not a bad person, so please don't misunderstand me."
When Yu Jiangnan saw Ning Zhengqing stand up to speak for his sister, she turned away angrily and bit her lips.
After a while, she looked up at Ning Zhengqing with a fierce gaze and said, "Does what you promised me before still count?"
Ning Qian immediately sensed something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Brother, what did you promise?"
Yu Jiangnan glanced at Ning Qian and was very dissatisfied with the tone of her interruption.
Ning Zhengqing was afraid that Ning Qian would worry, so he smiled and said, "Nothing, just some business cooperation."
When Ning Qian heard about the cooperation, her worries grew stronger. In the original book, Ning Zhengqing paid a lot of money to Yu Jiangnan.
"Since this is a business matter and it concerns the Ning family, as a member of the family, I naturally have the right to know."
Ning Zhengqing looked a little hesitant, but ultimately did not speak.
Seeing Ning Zhengqing remained silent, Yu Jiangnan's eyes gleamed with pride, and she raised her voice, "Miss Ning, you're meddling too much. Do you think you'll still know everything about your brother once he gets married?"
Ning Qian curled her lips and glanced at Yu Jiangnan with contempt. In addition, she was dressed very formally today, which gave people a sense of oppression from her wealth.
"This is our own family matter, so please don't worry about it."
After saying that, he frowned and looked at Ning Zhengqing.
I thought that my sister at least had some weight in his heart, but I didn't expect that she would have to stand aside in front of Yu Jiangnan.
"Brother, if you still consider me a family member, please explain the whole story to me."
Ning Zhengqing's eyes were slightly surprised. It had only been a few days since they last saw Ning Qian, and her temperament had changed again. She had gone from being timid to being very opinionated.
This is not a bad thing, but the change was too fast and he didn't have time to adapt.
Especially Ning Qian's look, which was so strong that he almost thought the person in front of him was not his biological sister.
"Ning Qian, don't worry. I'll tell you about this later."
Ning Qian's expression gradually brightened up after hearing Ning Zhengqing's reply.
But Yu Jiangnan was not happy, and looked at Ning Qian with a look of deep resentment.
Ning Qian thought that she was probably afraid that she would stop her from doing good things.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the stairwell.
Ning Qian looked up and saw Aunt Chen wearing an apron and looking nervous.
She rubbed her apron with her hands and called out "Young Master" and "Second Miss" twice.
Ning Qian thought she was about to say something, so she raised her chin slightly, motioning her to speak.
Unexpectedly, this directly angered Yu Jiangnan. She walked over and grabbed Chen Ma's hand, saying angrily: "You always told me that when you work for the master, others treat you very well. So this is the 'good way'. Let's go, we don't want to stay here anymore!"
Chen Ma was startled by her words. She clapped her hands twice in panic and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense in front of the young master. The young master and his family are very good to me."
Then he looked at Ning Zhengqing and said flatteringly, "Xiao Yu has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She is simple and kind, and speaks directly. Young Master, please don't bother with her."
"Auntie! How can you speak to him in his favor? I am your treasure, why do you always speak to him in his favor?" Yu Jiangnan was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Ning Zhengqing didn't want to make things too awkward, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Miss Yu may be outspoken, but she's not a bad person."
After hearing this, Yu Jiangnan became even more arrogant, and the look he gave Ning Qian was filled with the light of a winner.
