Chapter 480 What girl doesn’t want to get married?
After returning to her office, Ning Nishang immediately called her father.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me that Qin Mu and Meng Anran were engaged?"
Ning Xing was confused by the question, "I haven't heard that they are engaged."
Ning Nishang pinched her brows in annoyance. "Qin Mu said it himself that the wedding dress is already being customized. They just went to try on the samples yesterday. According to the wedding dress production schedule, we estimate that the wedding can be held around August or September."
Ning Xing was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and his voice became deeper. "She's just his fiancée, not married. Even if we were married, there's still a possibility of divorce. What you need to do now is not to provoke Meng Anran, but to become Qin Mu's indispensable right-hand man, or even a soul mate."
Ning Nishang frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Since he admires 'Qiran' so much, this is your greatest advantage. Cater to his interests, let him see your talent and value, and make him feel that you understand his artistic taste and his spiritual world better than Meng Anran does. Over time, subtle changes will naturally occur in their feelings."
Ning Xing's voice carried a shrewd tone. "Men, especially wealthy and powerful men, love to seek excitement and novelty. What they can't stand the most is the beauty of women."
Ning Nishang held the phone and unconsciously clenched her back teeth. Her father's words made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She looked at the two rejected art exhibition tickets on the table, her pupils gradually losing focus. "Does it have to be him?"
Ning Xing heard the reluctance in his daughter's tone, and sighed with melancholy, and said earnestly:
"Nichang, I've trained you for so many years, hoping that you'll have a good home in the future. It's easy to find a man with two legs, but this circle is full of ups and downs. Only a man with a strong background can protect you for the rest of your life."
Ning Nishang pursed her lips, and the light in her bright eyes gradually dimmed.
She had been envied by many of her friends. In this circle where everyone wanted to cultivate rich girls into ladies who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was one of the few who developed her career abilities.
The reason is simple. Ning Xing believes that in most business marriages, the man's family pays more attention to the girl's manners and personality when choosing a wife.
But a man who is truly powerful and has the final say will not be willing to marry a vase that can only be placed at home as a decoration.
For example, Lu Heng was often introduced to ladies by many people when he was in his twenties, but he didn't like any of them. In his eyes, so-called ladies were useless trash.
It has to be said that Ning Xing has taken a new path in raising his daughter.
But in the final analysis, he just used his daughter as a tool to make connections and gain benefits.
"I don't want to go on." After thinking for a long time, Ning Nishang whispered these words, her tone very light but revealing determination: "Qin Mu and Meng Anran are a perfect match. I don't want to be the third party that destroys their marriage."
After receiving so many years of higher education, interfering in other people's relationships has made her feel that her moral bottom line is collapsing. For the sake of the family business, she gritted her teeth and followed her father's arrangements, tearing off her own dignity.
But Qin Mu and Meng Anran's wedding is approaching, and she really can't do it by destroying someone else's marriage.
As a woman, she admires Meng Anran very much. She can carve out a path for herself in this circle dominated by "male power". She can be said to be a role model for women to learn from.
Rather than marrying an outstanding man, she hopes that she can be like Meng Anran, where being strong is the most important thing.
Ning Xing's face darkened instantly, and he realized he had miscalculated. Allowing his daughter to read too many books had made her thinking too progressive, making her even harder to control.
"Nichang, you are a girl. How can a girl not get married? Since you want to get married, you should naturally marry the best partner." He still tried to persuade her.
This was not the first time Ning Nishang had heard such words. Her father had been instilling this outdated idea in her since she was a child, asking her to work hard to improve herself in order to "marry a better partner."
But the education she received in school was not like this. Marriage and childbirth are not the predetermined destiny of girls. Gender equality and freedom of marriage mean that girls can also choose their own path and take control of their own lives.
"Why do I have to get married?" she asked. "I have a PhD, speak four languages, and hold countless professional certificates. I could build my own career. Why do I have to marry someone I don't like and be trapped in my house for the rest of my life?"
Ning Xing's face turned pale, and his tone became heavier: "Society is so chaotic, how can a girl like you not find someone to rely on? Dad is doing this for your own good, would I really hurt you?"
"Whether it's for me or for you, you know it clearly in your heart." Ning Nishang was unwilling to continue playing along with her father and said bluntly, "I'm not sure if I will get married in the future, but I can tell you with certainty that I will never follow your arrangements to break up others again."
After saying that, she immediately cut off the call and sent a self-explanatory message to Qin Mu: [Boss Qin, I'm sorry to have disturbed you in various ways these past few days. I don't really like sculpture, nor do I understand the art of sculpture. The rumors about me in the company are all false. I promise you that I will focus on my work and strive to create value for the group.]
Qin Mu was a little puzzled after receiving this WeChat message. Wasn't she sitting in front of him and flirting with him just ten minutes ago? After learning that he was engaged, her attitude changed 180 degrees?
The words are sincere and don't sound fake, and they are full of self-blame and guilt.
He soon understood that business marriages were the norm, as he had experienced them himself. Growing up with An Xiaoran, he had seen too many of the Lu family's outlandish actions, and therefore could better understand the difficulties faced by girls.
It is highly likely that Ning Nishang is also one of the victims bound by the concept of "marriage arrangement".
He replied with "Work hard" and didn't say anything else, nor did he intend to pursue the matter further.
The chat box turned to Meng Anran, who gave a detailed report and concluded with the following sentence: [An Xiaoran, we've reached the area of your interest again.]
On this side, Meng Anran just arrived at Yatang and smiled after seeing the long string of messages sent by Qin Mu.
He knew how to report, and even the details like the expressions and conversations between the two parties were clearly expressed in words.
With a fiancé like this, how could she feel insecure because of not seeing him for a long time?
As for the "areas of interest" that Qin Mu mentioned, he was asking her if she planned to help Ning Nishang.
When she was in the Lu family, every time she attended a banquet, Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin would deliberately look for a marriage partner for her that would be beneficial to the Lu Group.
Business marriage is an invisible shackle on most "rich ladies". Ruiming Group's unique management style stems from its desire to enable women to realize their own value rather than being treated as a "bond of interests" or a "tool for reproduction."
But she is not the Virgin Mary and has no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.
How to choose the next path is Ning Nishang's business.
How to balance the relationship between Ning Xing and Ning Nishang is what Qin Mu should consider.
