Chapter 764
Inside the house, Ning Che had already heard Shen Rang return. Before Shen Rang came in, she had already wiped the tears off her face.
"Miss Ning, Lord Ning is looking for you everywhere."
Chen Rang said.
When facing outsiders, Shen Rang's expression remained indifferent.
Looking for me?
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "Lord Ning has also heard about the absurd things the Wen family did and was furious. If Miss Ning is also dissatisfied with this marriage, she can go to Lord Ning now, and perhaps there will be room for negotiation."
Ning Che listened blankly to Shen Rang's words, but remained silent.
After a few moments, Ning Che suddenly stood up: "Zhao Zhao, thank you for listening to me rant all day. Once I've settled things at home, I'll definitely come over with some generous gifts!"
After saying that, Ning Che walked away without stopping for a moment.
Huo Zhao wanted to escort her, but he couldn't catch up.
Seeing Ning Che's swift movements, Huo Zhao turned to Shen Rang: "Really?"
“Really,” Shen Rang nodded slightly, “After all, the Wen family is so absurd, if the Ning family were to form a marriage alliance with them, it would probably become a laughing stock.”
Marriage should be for the better, not to be a burden.
The Ning family chose the Wen family because the Wen family patriarch had achieved good political results in recent years and it was estimated that he would return to Luoyang when officials were promoted next. That's why they wanted to arrange a marriage alliance with the Wen family in advance to secure a position.
But if that family is so absurd, the Ning family will not allow their daughter to suffer, nor will they stand by and watch their family become a laughing stock in Luoyang.
After all, even if the Wen family returned to the capital, their influence wouldn't be enough to make the Ning family make such a big sacrifice.
"But haven't the wedding invitations already been sent out?"
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "That's right, that's why Lord Ning is angry."
Before Wen Lang even entered Luoyang, the heads of the two families had already contacted each other. The Ning family must have thought Wen Lang was good, which is why they arranged the marriage with Ning Che and sent out invitations so quickly. Who would have thought that Wen Lang would be this kind of person?
Huo Zhao sighed, "It's good that they're not married yet. It's better to find out now than after they're married."
“That being said,” Shen Rang said, “I still feel that there’s more to this than meets the eye.”
Meeting Huo Zhao's questioning gaze, Shen Rang said, "Wen Lang's actions are too flamboyant. His outrageous deeds have been heard not only by the Ning family, but even by me."
"Even you know that?"
Shen Rang nodded subconsciously, met Huo Zhao's gaze, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, Huo Zhao said, "Why didn't you tell me about this after you came back?"
"I--"
"Okay, now you have your own secrets."
"I--"
How many things are you still hiding from me?
Shen Rang was utterly helpless.
Seeing that Huo Zhao remained silent, Shen Rang said, "I told you that."
Huo Zhao blinked.
“But at the time, someone’s mind was on Nianchu. Although there was a response, I always felt it was perfunctory. Now I realize that you were really just perfunctory with me.”
Shen Rang reminded him in a low, somber tone.
Huo Zhao thought about it carefully and realized that there was indeed such a thing.
Huo Zhao visibly felt guilty.
She didn't even dare to meet Shen Rang's gaze.

Meanwhile, Ning Che encountered people from the Ning family on his way home.
The people from the Ning family looked anxious, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Ning Che appeared: "Miss, I've finally found you! Please come back with me quickly, the master is angry because of you!"
Ning Che nodded and told the driver to speed up.
Ning Che hurriedly returned to the Ning residence and went directly to find Ning Qiwen.
