Ning Fengmian's gaze swept around, finally settling on Ning Qiluo. Ning Qiluo stood still, neither rushing over to call for her mother, because she had a premonition that her mother must know something.
Although she doesn't consider the consequences of her actions, she still feels guilty when the consequences come.
As expected—
Ning Fengmian first smiled gently at everyone. Under the camera's lens, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Then, she gracefully walked to Ning Qiluo's side, her smiling face gentle and charming, and said:
"I'm coming home for dinner tonight!"
Ning Qiluo's heart skipped a beat.
Then he nodded silently, indicating that he understood, being incredibly obedient.
In everyone's eyes, Ning Qiluo's mother is noble and elegant, gentle and charming, and owns the world's largest plantation. Her wealth is no less than that of Ning Qiluo's richest father!
I thought it was a parasitic plant clinging to power and wealth, but it turns out it's not a parasitic plant at all; it's a flower of worldly riches and honor.
However, this seemingly wealthy and beautiful woman was secretly furious. Of course, with so many people around, she intended to give her daughter some face.
However, besides this, there was something else. Ning Fengmian turned to look in Tan Xia's direction.
When she met Tan Xia's gaze, she smiled slightly: "You are Wanxi's good friend, right?"
Tan Xia was taken aback; she hadn't expected Ning Qiluo's mother to speak to her.
In her eyes, Ning Qiluo's mother was like a fairy from heaven, an existence that was beyond the reach of others.
"Ah, I, I, I am, no, I..."
Tan Xia hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, glancing at Ning Qiluo.
At this moment, Ning Qiluo said, "We are friends."
If you remove the word "good," the term "good friend" becomes completely unrelated; even the word "friend" is just a reluctant choice.
Tan Xia nodded in agreement with Ning Qiluo, saying, "Yes, we are friends, we are friends."
"I see..." Ning Fengmian smiled, each word spoken with exceptional clarity: "Since we're friends, we should help each other. That's what our teacher taught, right?"
It suddenly veered into the topic of education.
Everyone present understood the situation perfectly well.
After all, everyone knows that Tan Xia has been targeting Ning Qiluo all along. However, Ning Qiluo hasn't said anything, not even asking Tan Xia to apologize. But Ning Qiluo's mother obviously knows about this, and that might not be so easy to talk to.
It seems that parents follow the same rule when it comes to their children.
You can hit or scold them yourself, but no one else should ever say a single bad word about your children.
Tan Xia was standing there, looking somewhat unsteady, her face pale.
Thinking about how he had been targeting Ning Qiluo at every turn, and now that her mother had come to question him, he felt truly ashamed. He could only agree, "Yes, sister... Auntie is right."
She almost subconsciously called Ning Qiluo's mother "elder sister".
The main issue is that calling her "Auntie" is really inappropriate, because Ning Qiluo's mother looks far too young; calling her "Sister" would be more appropriate.
"Yes, that's how a good child should be."
Ning Fengmian, unsure whether he was satisfied or not, rambled on, "I manage this enormous plantation. Do you think I might fire someone just because I don't like them?"
Tan Xia's heart tightened.
She thought that she had implicated her grandmother.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at her grandmother.
But her grandmother looked perfectly normal and showed no sign of worry.
