You are so nice to me
Seeing that Ning Qian didn't respond, the consultant thought that rich girls were always aloof, and his heart was startled. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, but his hands became more diligent.
Ning Qian didn't know how to answer this question. She felt a little guilty and avoided looking.
At this time, Ning Qian's cell phone rang. It was Jiang Sha calling.
The cell phone ringtone, which she usually hated to hear, actually made her feel relieved.
The consultant tactfully released her hand, took two steps back, and said gently, "Miss Ning, if it's inconvenient for you here, I'll wait for you outside."
Ning Qian nodded and watched her close the door.
The phone was still ringing. Ning Qian hesitated for a while but finally answered it. For Ning Zhengqing's sake, she didn't want to make the relationship too awkward. Now that she had a nominal boyfriend, she was no longer afraid of her urging to get married.
"Hey, Ning Qian, where are you now?" Jiang Sha's shrill voice came.
Ning Qian's expression was slightly stern, and she finally opened her voice and replied, "I'm at home. What's going on?"
"At home?" Jiang Sha's voice hesitated. Then she took a few steps up the stairs and looked towards Ning Qian's room. "Who are you kidding? Your room is empty. You were planning to ask Aunt Chen to help you clean it today."
"Don't talk about this. Just tell me what's going on." Ning Qian pinched her round and shiny fingers with one hand.
"Are you still mad at me? I just said a few words to you last time, and yet you still dared to run away from home for so many days."
Ning Qian was choked by her words and immediately retorted: "I already said that I don't want to know Chen Zong, but you still invited him to your house. Can't I be angry?"
Jiang Sha heard her speak so confidently and was about to blame her, but then she remembered the purpose of the call and said gently, "Okay, let's not talk about this today. You've been away from home for so long, and your parents miss you too. When will you be back?"
Ning Qian immediately smelled a conspiracy from this sudden change of attitude.
"Besides, I'm doing just fine on my own."
"How can you do this alone? Besides, it's not safe for a girl to be alone outside."
Ning Qian's cold and indifferent attitude made Jiang Sha very anxious. Last time, Ning Zhengqing said that he would stop supporting the Jiang family, and he was really working on it.
Last night she received a call from her brother, saying that the 10 million yuan in this phase of funds had not yet been transferred to the company's account, and the company still had to rely on this capital for turnover, otherwise it would not even be able to pay the employees' salaries!
Two years ago, the Jiang family was optimistic about the hotel market and built a large hotel in the second-tier area of Nanzhen District. The initial investment cost was huge, and they are still barely making a profit.
During this period, he repeatedly persuaded Ning Zhengqing to join this business. Although Nanzhen District lagged behind the other three districts, its development prospects were still relatively optimistic, and the hotel's location and resources were also good. For the sake of his uncle, Ning Zhengqing was willing to invest in installments. Now he was unhappy and wanted to withdraw his investment midway, which scared his uncle Jiang Zhen.
It must be said that Jiang Sha's words of compromise made Ning Qian feel a little more comfortable. She lazily sank into the extremely soft back of the sofa and said a few perfunctory words.
"Then you must come back next week. I will call your uncle and let him meet your eldest niece."
Even after the call ended, Ning Qian still didn't understand what she meant.
For no reason, she was allowed to meet her uncle again.
Could it be that after giving up the idea of letting her marry into the Shen family, he had other thoughts in mind.
Thinking of this, Ning Qian couldn't help but feel a chill in her bones.
When she adjusted her skirt and came to the hall again, Sheng Yuanhan was using the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the cup. Although he was young, he acted like an old man.
He took a sip and then frowned and put down the teacup.
The tea tastes too weak.
Ning Qian glanced at the teacup lightly and remembered it in her heart.
Sheng Yuanhan noticed her coming and cast his gaze on her again. Her skin was as white as cream, and her soft hands were lightly draped in front of her. The well-fitting strapless dress made her figure look well-proportioned and soft, outlining a graceful curve.
Ning Qian was quite satisfied with her outfit. She looked at Sheng Yuanhan quietly, trying to see the truth from his deep eyes.
Unfortunately, he always appears aloof and restrained, making it difficult to understand what he is thinking.
Ning Qian's heart was blocked, and she couldn't tell whether she was disappointed.
【It looks better than I imagined.】
Ning Qian looked up in surprise, but Sheng Yuanhan just nodded slightly and said indifferently, "This one is fine, next one."
“…”
How many banquets are there? Why do you need to change so many sets of clothes?
Even the bride at the wedding is not as diligent as she in changing clothes, right?
"Mr. Sheng." Ning Qian called out habitually.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes flashed.
Realizing she had spoken out of turn again, Ning Qian immediately changed her words: "Yuan Han, I'm tired. Can we change next time?"
There was a rare coquettish tone in her voice.
Sheng Yuanhan has always disliked people who are pretentious and artificial, but Miss Ning is such a kind and upright person, so she shouldn't be like that.
"good."
He stood up and buttoned the middle metal button of his suit, not even realizing that his tone was accommodating.
Ning Qian wanted to politely say thank you, but she felt that it was a bit strange to say so given her current status, so she said with a forced smile: "Yuan Han, you are so kind to me."
After she said this, even she herself felt awkward.
Sheng Yuanhan's back tensed, and he hummed quickly. He whispered a few words to the bodyguard beside him, and then left the villa like a star surrounded by stars, as if he had something important to do.
Ning Qian stood there slightly surprised. Since he was so busy with official duties, why did he still have time to sit here and accompany her to try on clothes? It was really unbelievable.
*
The afternoon was sunny and the fragrance of flowers from the garden blew slowly.
Ning Qian sat on the large, cool terrace wearing sunglasses, comfortably feeling the happiness of being rich.
The maid first brought a cup of fragrant and mellow Earl Grey tea, and then brought a three-layer rack of English pastries, paired with nutritionally balanced caviar sandwiches, which whetted her appetite, not to mention a layer of golden and soft scones and various exquisite pastries.
"Miss Ning, please enjoy your meal." The maid smiled slightly and showed special respect to Ning Qian.
Recently, there has been a rumor among the servants that the woman brought by Mr. Sheng himself might be the future Mrs. Sheng.
Ning Qian nodded, thinking that she might not be able to finish it, so she reached out and took a small cake and handed it to her.
"Try it too."
The maid shook her head flatteredly, "Thank you, Miss Ning. You won't need this."
"It's okay, take it. I can't finish so much anyway." Seeing that she was so polite, Ning Qian handed her another one.
The maid took it with a shy smile, revealing the dimples at the corners of her mouth, and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Miss Ning, you are so kind."
Ning Qian's cheeks turned slightly red when she was praised, and she waved her hand and said that if it was not enough, she could come back for more.
The maid smiled and retreated, then turned a corner with a gloomy face. She threw the small cake in her hand into the trash can and rubbed the remaining cream in her hand vigorously.
There was an expression of disgust and indifference on the well-behaved and innocent face.
"Hey, Yingying, why are you standing there? Mary said that the window in your living room was not cleaned." Another maid came over and patted her shoulder.
Wei Yingying was startled, but she quickly regained her composure. She weakly shook her wrist and begged, "A Zhao, I twisted my wrist while serving food just now. Can you help me clean the window?"
Wang Zhao glanced at her with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face. Wei Yingying had been in the villa for more than a month. She often cheated and asked people to help her with work at every turn because of her weak body. Those who knew her thought she was here to make money, while those who didn't thought she was a rich girl here who had never done housework.
"That won't do. I already helped you mop the floor last time."
After being rejected, Wei Yingying lowered her eyes sadly, but there was an irritation and disdain in her eyes. But she quickly put on a weak look and said in a flattering way, "Just this once. When I get my salary, I'll buy you a CC lipstick to make it up to you."
Wang Zhao looked much better now. A bottle of CC lipstick was worth a day's salary to her.
"Well, you're quite generous, you elf."
"Thank you, A'Zhao." Wei Yingying smiled, but cursed her in her heart.
As Wang Zhao turned to leave, he noticed a slender woman sitting in the courtyard. Pointing at her back, he asked, "Is that Miss Ning sitting there?"
Wei Yingying's eyes flashed with jealousy, "It's her."
Wang Zhao curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he heard this. "Oh, she is so lucky. Mr. Sheng has never brought a woman back before. I didn't expect that she would get the first chance this time."
"Yeah, what a lucky life." Wei Yingying agreed, but she couldn't hide the jealousy on her face.
Wang Zhao noticed her abnormality out of the corner of his eye and was slightly startled. Could it be that this person entered the Sheng family just to get close to Mr. Sheng?
Although Mr. Sheng is always a hot topic among the maids after dinner, they all know in their hearts that they are not worthy of him and can only talk about him from time to time. But this man, his whole face is full of thoughts, as if he is determined to win him.
-
Ning Qian has diarrhea.
Ever since she finished her afternoon tea, she has been staying in the bathroom, and her legs are numb from sitting.
At one point I suspected that this was because I was greedy and ate too much.
By seven o'clock in the evening, she finally lay down on the bed exhausted.
At this time, her brother called her.
"Hello?" Ning Qian spoke weakly.
Ning Zhengqing heard something wrong in her voice and asked her what was wrong.
Ning Qian forced herself to chat with him, and in order to avoid him worrying, she lied that she had just woken up.
Ning Zhengqing on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and told her that Jiang Sha had called her today and asked her if she would be back on the 6th.
Ning Qian turned over and looked at the calendar on the wall. There were still three days until the 6th.
"Well...I'll try to go back on the 6th."
"Don't even mention trying your best. What girl is like you?" Ning Zhengqing said with a tone of deep dissatisfaction, "It's settled. You have to go home on the 6th."
It's not that he hadn't checked the car's background, but when the private detectives heard the license plate, they turned pale and told him to find another one.
Although Ning Zhengqing remained calm on the surface, he knew in his heart that this must be some important figure.
It was not until he had gone to three houses that one of them looked at each other in bewilderment and then boldly told him that this was the license plate of the Sheng family, a powerful family in northern Beijing, and that each license plate was worth a fortune.
They absolutely dared not investigate the prestigious Sheng family.
The implication was that Ning Zhengqing should put his mind at ease.
Ning Zhengqing naturally knew about the famous Sheng family, but he didn't know how his naive sister got connected to the Sheng family's wealth.
