Ning Xiwan sat on a bench in the garden, tapping her phone screen lightly with her fingertips, and replied to Ye Qingliu: [Block all attempts by Ning Xiuyuan to check my information, and prepare a "surprise" for him.]
[Ye Qingliu]: I have intercepted three reports and forged a new one. Do you want to send it to him?
[Ning Xiwan]: Hair, remember to make it beautiful.
[Ye Qingliu]: Yeah.
As soon as she put down her phone, she heard light footsteps behind her.
Ning Xiwan said calmly without even turning her head, "It's not a good habit to peek at other people's messages, sister."
Ning Yunmeng paused, then said with a casual smile, "Sister, I just wanted to come to the garden to get some fresh air."
Ning Xiwan then turned around and looked at her with a half-smile: "Really? That's perfect, shall we sit together?"
Ning Yunmeng hesitated for a moment, but still sat down next to her, her hands placed obediently on her knees, looking innocent and harmless: "Sister, my second brother has a bad temper, but he is not a bad person. Don't be angry with him."
Ning Xiwan raised her eyebrows: "Oh? So he's a good person?"
Ning Yunmeng: "..."
Ning Xiwan chuckled: "Alright, stop pretending in front of me. I already know that you installed a bug in my room."
Ning Yunmeng's face turned pale instantly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Ning Xiwan moved closer to her and lowered her voice: "Sister, do you know why I am still alive?"
She smiled. "Because I can see through people's hearts."
Ning Yunmeng's fingers trembled slightly, and she forced a smile: "Sister, you really misunderstood. How could I..."
"Shh—" Ning Xiwan raised a finger to her lips, "Don't be so quick to deny it. I just want to tell you, if you want to play, I'll play with you, but you'll have to bear the consequences at your own risk."
Ning Yunmeng opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing. She hurriedly got up and left.
Ning Xiwan looked at her back, her eyes growing colder.
——It turns out that there is no one in this family who is a good person.
The Ning Group's anniversary dinner was held in the garden of the Ning family villa. Crystal chandeliers illuminated the entire venue like daylight, and a champagne tower sparkled beside the central fountain.
Ning Xiwan was wearing a champagne-colored haute couture dress, with her long hair slightly curled and her makeup delicately applied, standing next to Ning Yuanshan.
"Is this the eldest daughter that the Ning family just found?"
"I heard she grew up abroad, but I didn't expect she has such a good temperament..."
"She looks just like Madam Ning when she was young..."
Ning Xiwan maintained a perfect smile, but she was complaining wildly in her heart: This pair of Jimmy Choo high heels is simply human torture!
She moved her ankle calmly and scanned the room.
Ning Xiuheng was standing not far away in a dark blue suit, holding a bottle of whiskey in his hand, staring at her with sinister eyes.
Ning Yunmeng held his arm and greeted the guests with a sweet smile, as if she was the protagonist of the night.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Ning Xiwan looked up and saw Ye Qingliu walking slowly towards her in a perfectly tailored black suit. The young man had a slender figure and a stern face. Although he was only in his second year of high school, he had an aura that kept strangers away.
He was followed by two bodyguards, making him stand out in the crowd.
"Why is the young master of the Ye family here?"
"Doesn't he never attend such social occasions?"
Ning Xiwan's eyes lit up when she heard the whispers around her.
She didn't notice that the moment Ning Xiuheng saw Ye Qingliu, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
"Qingliu!" Ning Xiwan stopped two steps away from the young man and lowered her voice, "Why are you here?"
Ye Qingliu glanced at her calmly: "I came to see if you were dead."
Ning Xiwan: "..."
This son really can’t be kept anymore!
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." She gritted her teeth and then noticed the two bodyguards behind Ye Qingliu. "Why do you bring bodyguards?"
Ye Qingliu said expressionlessly: "Beware of wolves."
Ning Xiwan was about to retort when an annoying voice interrupted: "Hey, isn't this the young master of the Ye family?"
Ning Xiuheng came over at some point, holding two glasses of champagne in his hands and a hypocritical smile on his face.
He deliberately handed one of the cups to Ye Qingliu: "I've heard a lot about you, would you like a drink?"
Ye Qingliu looked at him coldly, with no intention of reaching out.
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Ning Xiwan narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when Ning Xiuheng feigned surprise and said, "Why, Young Master Ye looks down on our Ning family? You won't even offer me a glass of wine?"
The surrounding guests pricked up their ears. Ye Qingliu remained expressionless, but Ning Xiwan noticed that his fingers hanging by his side twitched slightly—a sign of his impatience.
"Second brother," Ning Xiwan took the glass of champagne with a smile, "Qingliu is still young and can't drink."
Ning Xiuheng raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly: "Still young? Isn't Young Master Ye already a sophomore in high school?"
He deliberately raised his voice, "Or... Young Master Ye is actually someone who dares not even touch alcohol..."
"Ning Xiuheng!" Ning Xiwan's voice suddenly turned cold.
Ye Qingliu suddenly reached out to take the glass of champagne and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone's surprised gaze.
He put the empty glass back on the waiter's tray and said calmly, "Satisfied?"
A triumphant smile flashed across Ning Xiuheng's face: "Young Master Ye is indeed straightforward!"
He picked up another glass of red wine. "More?"
Ning Xiwan now understood completely - Ning Xiuheng was deliberately looking for trouble! He knew that Ye Qingliu had a special status and didn't dare to do anything to him in public, so he wanted to humiliate him in this way.
