After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
"Ah Xuan, you may be able to beat Qi Ge, but you might not be able to beat Ah Lang!"
"We absolutely can't win! That's a given!"
"Grandpa's move was brilliant! He made Alang tame her husband in front of everyone! Haha!"
...
Although Sheng Xuan was proud and concerned about his image, he was also thin-skinned. His handsome face instantly turned red, his eyes darted around, and he dared not look in Ning Lang's direction.
He didn't want to fight her, not at all.
Ning Lang remained calm and composed as always, stood up gracefully, and smiled slightly.
"Grandpa, I haven't been feeling well these past two days and I'm too lazy to move around."
Sheng Xuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he shrugged and said, "She's not feeling well, and I shouldn't take advantage of her. Let's just forget about it!"
The old man sat firmly in the center seat, his loving gaze sweeping over his beloved granddaughter before turning to Sheng Xuan with a faint smile on his lips, saying nothing.
Ning Rui, who always thrives on chaos, laughed and shouted, "Ah Lang, are you afraid that you'll feel bad if you hit Ah Xuan?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ning Lang replied nonchalantly, "Haven't I hit him enough? If it hurt, my heart would have been aching long ago."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
"Yes, yes, yes! I remember Ah Xuan used to get beaten up by Ah Lang every few days! Several times his face was bruised and swollen like a pig's head, it was hilarious!"
“We used to call him ‘Firecracker Xuan,’ but later we all started calling him ‘Pig Head Xuan’! It was all Ah Lang’s doing!”
"Once, his nose and lips were so swollen, it was a terrible sight! He spoke in a muffled way, almost like Pigsy from Journey to the West!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Sheng Xuan blushed and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! I could have beaten her a long time ago, I just didn't want to fight. A good man doesn't fight with a woman!"
Ning Rui is always good at picking his moments to roast people, laughing and shouting, "Then why don't you win this time! How come you're always the one who ends up with a pig's head!"
Just then, the old butler hurried over and bowed slightly to the masters and young masters.
"Miss, Mr. Jiang Lirong has arrived. He's in the side hall of the front reception room. He says he has something to discuss with you."
Although the old butler was old, he had a strong voice and spoke slowly and deliberately. Everyone present was a shrewd person, and after listening carefully to every word, they turned to look at Ning Lang and Sheng Xuan with subtle expressions.
Sheng Xuanjun's face darkened, his eyes darting outwards, his expression not good.
Ning Lang remained calm and elegant as always, smiling gently at the old butler and saying, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. Please entertain him first, I'll be there shortly."
The old butler bowed slightly, then turned and hurried away.
Ning Rui glanced at Sheng Xuan secretly and deliberately raised her voice: "A Lang, why didn't Jiang Lirong go home for the New Year? He doesn't seem to be from Rongcheng."
“No.” Ning Lang said calmly, “He said he wouldn’t be going back home for the New Year this year and would stay in Rongcheng. He originally said he would come to pay his respects tomorrow, but he came earlier than expected.”
Sheng Xuan's handsome face instantly darkened.
Ning Lang nodded slightly. "Please continue, everyone. Excuse me for a moment. I'll come back later."
After speaking, she turned and strode away, her tall figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
The old man in the main seat spoke up: "Young men, let's continue."
"Okay!" everyone responded.
A cousin and Ning Zhang excitedly went up on stage with weapons, and everyone's attention was once again focused on them.
Sheng Xuan lost interest in watching any longer. She quietly tore off her small armor and was about to chase after him when she stopped and turned back.
Ning Rui rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: "What are you chickening out for? If you want to pursue her, just go for it! She's already come all the way to your house, what are you waiting for?"
Sheng Xuanjun's face flushed slightly. He grabbed Ning Rui's arm and secretly pulled him away.
