The reason why Ning Chuchu proposed to go to Xie Jinqiu first was because she still had unspoken concerns.
Although Xing Yi invited her under the pretext of offering her a role, Ning Chuchu had ruined her husband's career after all. Ning Chuchu was not sure whether the daughter of this powerful Beijing tycoon would embarrass her at the dinner table.
In this situation, she would feel much more at ease if she could have a fiancé who was the head of a wealthy family by her side.
Sister Zhang was obviously moved, but she was a little worried: "Can Xie Jinqiu agree? You said that he has no feelings for you. It would be embarrassing if he was rejected."
"That won't happen." Ning Chuchu said confidently, "He does dislike me, but he won't offend me, his fiancée, over such a small matter. Don't worry."
Xie Jinqiu is cold-hearted and rarely cares about anyone or anything except work. Although such a person is boring to get along with, there is one advantage... He can see through many things, but he doesn't care.
Therefore, Ning Chuchu really likes to use the power of this cheap fiancé to bully others, especially her stepmother and step-sister. Every time she sees them jealous of her having such a good fiancé, and their eyes turn red with jealousy, Ning Chuchu feels particularly comfortable and wishes to "show affection" in front of them every day.
Although Xie Jinqiu won't cooperate with her in "showing affection", in private, isn't it just up to her to make up whatever she wants?
She has gained a lot of convenience by relying on the power of others, so this kind of thing is very easy for her to do.
Seeing that Ning Chuchu was so confident, Sister Zhang said nothing more. On the way to Xie's company, I chatted with her about Xie Jinqiu, "Chu Chu, it's really good that you can get engaged to Xie Jinqiu. In the industry, Xie Jinqiu's name is more useful than your father's."
"Of course." Ning Chuchu replied casually.
The Xie family is firmly the number one super rich man in the country. As the leader of the Xie family, Xie Jinqiu can say that he can make all the difference.
It would be great if Xie Jinqiu could fall in love with her. Ning Chuchu sighed regretfully.
Sister Zhang lowered her voice and said in her ear: "That stepsister of yours loves to snatch everything from you. You have to be careful. Even if you don't like Xie Jinqiu, you can't let Yun Yirou snatch her away."
Ning Chuchu sneered: "She does want to, but she has to have the ability to do it."
Yun Yirou still wants to conquer a man that she can't even handle? Unless the weird jade bracelet on her left wrist can bewitch Xie Jinqiu!
"Besides, the reason why I was able to get engaged to Xie Jinqiu was because of my mother's relationship." Ning Chuchu casually played with a strand of hair beside her ear and said coolly, "Just because the Yun family's mother and daughter only know how to care about me. My father’s virtue will never reach the level of a wealthy family like the Xie family in another eight hundred years.”
So, they can only be jealous.
Sister Zhang immediately became interested and asked about the details.
Ning Chuchu briefly talked about how she and Xie Jinqiu became "connected".
Ning Chuchu's biological mother is Tan Qingzhu, one of the best psychology experts in the country. She spent more than ten years personally treating the autism of the youngest son of the old patriarch of the Xie family, allowing him to basically return to a normal life.
Xie Jinqiu is the most outstanding grandson of the old head of the Xie family. The one who was born with autism is his uncle who is only a few years older than him.
The Xie family is small but harmonious. The old patriarch, grateful for Tan Qingzhu's kindness, takes the initiative to propose that his eldest grandson be engaged to Dr. Tan's daughter.
Of course, the old patriarch is not a foolish person who sacrifices his grandson's happiness just to repay his kindness. The reason why he did this was, firstly, because Xie Jinqiu was indifferent by nature and never considered marriage even at his age, which made him extremely anxious; secondly, because Ning Chuchu was Tan Qingzhu's daughter, and her father was also from a well-known wealthy family. , the two families are a perfect match in the world; the third one is naturally due to Ning Chuchu’s clever mouth that can make people not blink.
Xie Jinqiu, on the other hand, didn't care about his marriage at all, and only accepted this marriage partner calmly and indifferently.
So, Ning Chuchu got engaged to Xie Jinqiu three years ago. Although there was no affection between the two, under Ning Chuchu's deliberate performance, people who knew their relationship felt that they were very affectionate without exception. Especially Ning Chuchu herself, she "loves" Xie Jinqiu to the core.
Patriarch Xie was very satisfied with this.
Ning Chuchu thought of this: "..."
With the interference of the truth system, can she still play the role of "the fiancée who deeply loves Xie Jinqiu"...
Soon, they arrived at Xie's company.
Wearing sunglasses, a mask and a hat, Ning Chuchu was fully armed. She ignored the inquiring eyes of the receptionist and contacted Xie Jinqiu's assistant.
She didn't explain too much, she just told Assistant Lin that she was here to attend the evening invitation with Xie Jinqiu. With her status as Xie Jinqiu's fiancée, Assistant Lin didn't even dare to ask her if she had made an appointment in advance, so he hurriedly went downstairs to pick her up in person.
"Ms. Ning, please follow me." Assistant Lin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiled and respectfully invited her and Sister Zhang into the president's special elevator.
Ning Chuchu had always been very polite to this special assistant who had been with Xie Jinqiu for many years, and kept talking to him with a smile.
While greeting Ning Chuchu, Special Assistant Lin looked at the future boss lady calmly.
In his impression, the future boss lady is as her name suggests, a delicate, pitiful and gentle woman, who is extremely infatuated with their president. However, the recent developments are beyond his expectations.
The weak future boss lady not only fearlessly exposed Song and Liu's scandals, but also frequently criticized them on the romance variety show, which was shocking.
Moreover... Assistant Lin secretly glanced at Ning's beautiful face, and doubts arose in his heart. He was now somewhat unable to understand his own president's thoughts.
In the past, he was very sure that Mr. Xie had always treated this beautiful fiancée indifferently, and usually didn't pay attention to anything about her. He was also very cold when she contacted him.
At that time he still felt sorry for Ning Chuchu. The goddess was interested, but the king was not. Poor Miss Ning had deep feelings for their president, but was destined to get no response.
But this time, after Song Qi got into trouble, he took the initiative to find President Xie, wanting him to come forward to suppress the scandal. Song Qi was unaware of the relationship between President Xie and Miss Ning, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing.
Special Assistant Lin thought that President Xie would take a cold approach to the matter, but he took the initiative to investigate the matter. After learning that what Miss Ning said was true, he even helped her suppress some negative public opinion on the Internet.
Even when Song Qi and Liu Mei wanted to take revenge on Miss Ning at all costs, it was President Xie who suppressed them with great force and warned them.
This is the first time that President Xie has shown special favor to Miss Ning!
Special Assistant Lin was anxiously thinking about gossip. If you say that their President Xie likes Miss Ning, he was really indifferent before; but if you say that he doesn't care, this time he is obviously protecting her.
The reason for such an obvious difference seems to be because... Miss Ning suddenly changed her previous style of behavior and bravely told the truth?
While Assistant Lin was thinking quickly, several people had already arrived at the president's office together.
After entering the door, Ning Chuchu looked at the handsome man who was immersed in work, with a sweet and gentle smile on his face, and said very naturally: "Jinqiu, it's almost time, let's go quickly, don't keep Mr. Xing waiting."
She spoke with such a righteous tone, as if they had already agreed to attend the dinner together, rather than her having just improvised the idea out of shamelessness.
Xie Jinqiu paused while flipping through the documents, then looked up at her. His eyes were narrow and deep, with dark pupils and cold eyes, as cold as a blade.
He looked at Ning Chuchu steadily, his brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was recalling when they had made the agreement.
After a moment of silence, Xie Jinqiu said nothing. He started to pack his things and prepared to go to the banquet with Ning Chuchu.
Ning Chuchu kept smiling, but she was relieved in her heart. She was very glad that her cheap fiancé was a man who didn't like to calculate and was cold and taciturn.
On the way, Ning Chuchu was unusually quiet and did not deliberately find any topic with Xie Jinqiu like usual.
Xie Jinqiu could faintly notice that his fiancée was particularly silent today, but Ning Chuchu just didn't dare to speak for fear of telling the truth that shouldn't be told...
When they arrived at the booked hotel, the two met the strong woman named Xing Yi.
Although she is middle-aged, she still looks young and beautiful, and has a heroic and vigorous aura.
She seemed to have guessed Ning Chuchu's concerns, and she came straight to the point: "In fact, Song Qi and I no longer have any feelings for each other, and I can vaguely sense that he has someone else outside. But due to the loving image we marketed back then, and my brother is in a critical period of transition, I can't hold him back, so I endured it."
"Thanks to you for digging out all his bad deeds, his image in the outside world has plummeted. Not only can I kick him out in a logical way, but I can also use this opportunity to sell him badly and increase the company's stock price." Xing Yi smiled brightly and raised his glass to Ning Chuchu. "I sincerely thank you, Miss Ning, just accept the role invitation with peace of mind."
Ning Chuchu: “…”
Awesome!
She looked at Xing Yi with eyes full of respect, clinked glasses with her with real emotion, and said sincerely, "Thank you, President Xing."
"You don't have to be polite to me." Xing Yi glanced at Xie Jinqiu, who had been silent next to him, and his smile became more sincere, "I already admire you very much. After I found out a few days ago that you and Jinqiu are an unmarried couple, I feel even more cordial. ”
"Jinqiu's mother and I are old classmates. Just call me Aunt Xing. No need to see anyone outside." Xing Yi smiled and patted the back of Ning Chuchu's hand.
Ning Chuchu showed a happy expression and climbed up along the pole, "No wonder I felt so friendly when I saw you."
This was not a lie. As soon as they met, Xing Yi showed kindness to Ning Chuchu, and she was very grateful for his sincerity.
She secretly glanced at Xie Jinqiu, who had a cold expression, and for the first time, she found that paralyzed face so pleasing to the eye.
Thinking that Xing Yi paid more attention to her because she was Xie Jinqiu's fiancée, and even had dinner and communicated with her in person, Ning Chuchu decided decisively that she must show her loving relationship with Xie Jinqiu in front of Xing Yi!
But with the truth system in place, her sweet words are unlikely to work... Ning Chuchu blinked and suddenly came up with an idea.
"Jinqiu, eat more." Ning Chuchu helped him pick up the food with serving chopsticks with a smile.
Xie Jinqiu froze, looking at her with unpredictable eyes. He didn't eat the food she served, but he didn't say anything to stop him. His whole body was like a piece of ice that would not melt, and it was so cold.
Ning Chuchu seemed not to notice his indifference, and took care of Xie Jinqiu during the subsequent meals. Sometimes I help him pour water, sometimes I help him pick up vegetables, and I even use chopsticks to shave fish for him myself.
Xing Yi was watching from the side and could not help but nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes looking at Ning Chuchu became softer.
Jinqiu is a child with an introverted personality. With a good child like Chu Chu caring for him, he will definitely be very happy in the future.
The system that witnessed all of this said: "...Host, it's not good for you to take advantage of the situation like this, right?"
Ning Chuchu said confidently: "What's wrong with taking advantage of loopholes? As long as I don't take advantage of loopholes in the law, that's fine."
System: “…”
I hate it!
After the meal, Xing Yi's affection for the gentle and sensible Ning Chuchu soared, and he even began to search in his mind for suitable resources to introduce to her.
After all, the good news should not go to outsiders. Chu Chu and Jin Qiu are so loving, and I only hope that they will get better and better in the future.
After dinner was almost finished, Xing Yi took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Ning Chuchu. He smiled and said: "I am also your elder. Your engagement with Jin Qiu is relatively low-key. I didn't know it at the time. Now I will tell you about the engagement." Gifts to make up for.”
Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, and immediately refused: "How can this be so embarrassing? You must not spend money."
Xing Yi waved his hand domineeringly, "I told you that you don't need to be polite to me. Jin Qiu, open it quickly and help Chu Chu put it on to see if you like it."
When Ning Chuchu heard this, she looked at Xie Jinqiu nervously, fearing that he would not cooperate and lose her face.
However, maybe because Xing Yi is indeed a close elder, Xie Jinqiu was extraordinarily... obedient today? Although she spoke little and had a paralyzed face as always, at least she never let Ning Chuchu get off stage.
Xie Jinqiu was silent for a moment and slowly opened the gift box.
When Ning Chuchu saw the necklace inside, she couldn't help but hold her breath. Because the necklace was so beautiful! Not only was it exquisite in appearance, but it was also made of priceless pink diamonds!
Ning Chuchu stared at Xie Jinqiu with burning eyes, her sparkling peach blossom eyes had a clear intention - put it on me quickly!
Xie Jinqiu's dark eyes fell on Ning Chuchu, looking at her quietly. His brows moved slightly, as if he was examining his fiancée.
Xie Jinqiu has always been like a sharp blade tempered with ice, sharp and cold. But today, with the elders present at the table, he looked particularly calm and peaceful.
He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but he was very cooperative in his actions. He calmly picked up the necklace and put it on for his fiancée to satisfy the expectations of his elders.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
A waiter who came to refill the hot water suddenly saw this pink diamond necklace and was in a daze for a moment, staring at the necklace in fascination. This resulted in - his hand shook slightly, and a pot of hot water was poured onto Xie Jinqiu's hand, including the pink diamond necklace.
Even though what the waiter brought was not boiling water, the extremely high temperature made Xie Jinqiu frown instantly and his hands turned red.
Ning Chuchu exclaimed and immediately held Xie Jinqiu's injured hand, looking extremely distressed.
Xing Yi's heart suddenly tightened. However, she had enough experience to see that the water was not very hot and would not cause too serious consequences, and Xie Jinqiu's expression was quite calm, so she gradually felt relieved.
In a blink of an eye, Xing Yi saw Ning Chuchu's distressed expression again, and he felt relieved and worried at the same time.
Chu Chu cares about Jin Qiu so much, so she must be very concerned about his injury now. It is better to send Jin Qiu to the hospital quickly so that Chu Chu can feel at ease...
Before Xing Yi had time to make a decision, he saw Ning Chuchu, who "deeply loves" Xie Jinqiu, holding her fiancé's hand and asking anxiously: "Is my necklace okay?!"
Xing Yi: “……?”
