Chapter 349 Gold Digger 22
Ning Yan declined. Of her four college roommates, only she and Yin Yi stayed in Beijing. The two would occasionally get together for a meal, and their relationship was fairly good.
"Class reunions are just a bunch of people showing off somewhere. I don't have that kind of hobby. I'd rather spend that time at home hugging my kids."
Yin Yi perked up immediately when she heard her mention children. She had graduated for so many years and had two relationships, but unfortunately, neither relationship lasted. She loved children so much that she was already thinking about whether she could steal a child from somewhere.
"Bring the child out next time we meet, I'll buy her a pretty little dress."
Ning Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring you to see it next time."
In early summer, the two indeed met outside. Yin Yi held the child and was reluctant to let go. After dinner, they took the child to go shopping. While passing by a men's clothing store, they encountered an unexpected person.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"
Ning Yan looked at her second brother's profile and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "It's nothing, I just saw my second brother."
At this moment, the second brother in the shop also turned his face. When he saw his sister, his eyes immediately panicked. He let go of the hand he was holding and walked out with a nervous expression.
"Yanyan, are you... are you going to buy clothes for your brother-in-law?"
Ning Yan crossed her arms and looked at her second brother, "Well, you've secretly settled your marriage. Second brother, shouldn't you introduce your wife to us?"
The second brother stood there awkwardly, "You, you saw it all."
"Yeah, I'm not blind."
As she spoke, Ning Yan looked behind her second brother.
"Mr. Yu, what a coincidence."
She was puzzled. How did a company president, a female CEO of a listed company, and a steamed bun shop owner get together?
"Yes, it is quite a coincidence."
She had previously exposed an internal mole in President Yu's company; back then, she was aloof and dignified. But today, her tone was full of caution.
"How long have you been together?"
The second brother hurriedly said, "It's been almost a year, and we plan to get our marriage certificate soon."
Ning Yan glared at her second brother. "Shut up! Do you know that President Yu has a childhood sweetheart fiancé? Their families are of similar social standing. Do you think their family would agree to you two being together?"
Upon hearing this, the second brother immediately pulled his hand back, and President Yu's face instantly darkened. "Master Ning, I will handle my family. They are not an obstacle to our being together."
"Tch, I know, of course you'll have a way, but you should take care of those things first."
The second brother struggled to free his hands, his face turning red.
It's no wonder Yu Xin was moved. Compared to his eldest brother's more rugged style, his second brother was tall and slender. After living in the city for a few years, his second brother, who was originally tanned, had completely transformed. His face was fair and clean, and he was exquisite and beautiful. He certainly had the qualities to make people's hearts flutter.
"Don't worry, I will give him enough money so that he will have no worries about the future!"
Ning Yan looked at the two of them still holding hands and knew that she couldn't separate them. She said this to give her second brother a guarantee: "No matter how nicely you talk, you have to see how you act. I'll wait and see."
Second brother, we're leaving now. Come over for dinner sometime.
The second brother nodded: "Okay."
Ning Yan left with Yin Yi, but her second brother arrived home before her.
Looking at her second brother's cautious expression, Ning Yan said irritably, "Now you feel guilty? Don't you think it's a bit late? You're already planning to get a marriage certificate with someone."
The second brother smiled ingratiatingly at his sister, "Well, it's just that we haven't had a chance yet, have we?"
He never expected that person to be so domineering, taking what they wanted from him by force.
Besides, he didn't even know he liked that kind of thing before.
"Did Yu Xin say he would give you some of his assets?"
The second brother nodded.
"So you haven't given it yet, right?" Ning Yan looked at her second brother as if he were an idiot.
Second brother: ...
"You said she was going to go abroad with you to get your marriage certificate, but she hasn't given you anything yet. Isn't she just lying to you?"
Second brother: What my sister said seems to make some sense.
The person had previously offered to give him a car, but he refused. He couldn't drive, and besides, how could he accept something from a girl?
Aside from meals together, hotel rooms, and clothes, he didn't spend a single penny of his money.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Yu Xin calling. Without thinking, he hung up immediately.
The message came shortly after.
Are you at your sister's? Answer the phone, I need to talk to you.
Answer the phone, it's really important.
"Honey, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. Don't you know how I treat you?"
In no time, he sent dozens of messages, like a chatterbox.
Ning Yan glanced at it, then pouted, "If I hadn't run into you two together today, would she have tried to trick you into getting a marriage certificate?"
How is this any different from the scholars of ancient times who seduced young ladies and eloped with them?
Second brother: ...It seems to be what my sister said.
"A marriage that is not blessed by family is destined to not last long. Even a proper marriage will be difficult for you if you are not married. In your case, her family will make things difficult for you to death."
Moreover, none of our family members know about your situation. We can't even stand up for you. Do you think your brain is full of water?
Shake it quickly to get rid of the water. Don't let anyone fool you until you're heartbroken and then come crying to me. It's no use.
Second brother: "...Little sister, could you tell me and her fortunes, what will become of us in the future?"
Ning Yan said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't even accurately judge the appearance of my own family members."
Even if they've figured it out, they won't tell you, so you'll keep everything bottled up and won't tell your family.
The second brother became obedient. Seeing that the person was still sending him messages and that he had already missed 24 calls, he simply turned off his phone. "I'm going back to my room. I have to go to the store to work tomorrow."
Because Yu Xin kept saying that his shop didn't make much money, he had even considered closing it down and transferring ownership. But now it seems that he was really foolish.
If he didn't own a shop, he probably wouldn't even have the money to pay the bill if the two of them ate together.
"Go ahead, I'll call you after dinner."
Second Brother obediently went upstairs to rest.
Little did they know that Yu Xin on the other end was going crazy with worry.
Everyone in high society knows how formidable Master Ning is; he's known as a semi-divine being, and he truly possesses extraordinary abilities.
She has never made a mistake in fortune telling, so she should know that she is sincere towards her second brother. So why does Ning An ignore her after meeting his sister?
Could it be that Master Ning doesn't think much of him?
How is that possible?
She is young and promising, and devoted to Ning An. What could possibly displease her?
Could it be that Master Ning foresaw the troubles that would befall her in the future, and that's why he didn't want Ning An and her to suffer?
Yu Xin, who was usually as calm as a mountain, could no longer calm down.
The next day at noon, Ning Yan had just finished lunch when she received a call from her second brother. "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Yanyan, she, she made me sign a lot of contracts this morning, saying that she transferred all her fixed assets to me, and also, she gave me some shares of her company."
"Do you think I can get a marriage certificate with her now?"
Yu Xin is quite sensible; he sorted out his fixed assets early in the morning and went to see Ning An with a lawyer.
She transferred all the real estate to Ning An and gave him 5% of the company's shares as a dowry.
She did this to make a statement, just to put her mind at ease.
Ning Yan is now the backbone of both families. No matter how confused Ning An is, he would never do anything his sister forbids. He can only feel at ease when his sister nods in approval.
"Second brother, there are only two outcomes in matters of the heart: either you stay together or you break up. If you like her, then enjoy it. If you don't like her anymore, you can walk away. Don't worry, your sister will always support you."
Hearing his sister say that, Ning An's anxiety vanished instantly. He used to think that Yu Xin and he were from two different worlds, but with his sister's support, he was no longer afraid of being abandoned by Yu Xin in the future.
I thought the two of them would get their marriage certificate soon, but they didn't.
Four years later, Yu gave birth to a son, who was then raised by the elderly couple. Her former fiancé also married and had children, and the elderly couple stopped interfering in their affairs.
Yu Xin then officially and openly moved in with Ning An and introduced him to his friends.
The Yu family parents' assumption that people in the circle looked down on Ning An and rejected him did not come true. Ning Yan knew that her second brother was going to meet outsiders, so she took the initiative to go to the bar they had arranged to meet. Afterwards, she pretended to bump into him by chance and talked to him for a while.
Anyone who knew Master Ning immediately asked Yu Xin, "How do those two know each other?"
"They both have the surname Ning, could they be related?"
Yu Xin nodded, "They are siblings, blood relatives."
Well, this has made everyone envious. "Sister Xin, you're really something. We have to make an appointment to see Master Ning, but you've gotten right in."
Master Ning's name is now on the list. Another sign that she's willing to do divination is that this person's character is impeccable.
Because no matter how much money you give her, she will not help bad people with fortune telling and changing their fate.
Yu Xin smiled. After they became family, his sister-in-law did help him out. She helped him secure two new projects.
However, there's no need to talk about this.
I'm afraid I'll get beaten up if I show off too much.
...
As Ning Yan emerged from the bar, she spotted Yu Ruidong standing guard at the door. Upon seeing her, Yu Ruidong quickly came to greet her. More than a decade had passed, yet time had left no trace on his face; his smile remained as radiant as ever.
He reached out his hand to her, "You had to make this trip so late at night, now you can finally rest easy."
Ning Yan reached out and took his hand. "Let's go home."
The two looked into each other's eyes, their eyes filled with affection.
These hands that carried bricks once held up my sky, and I will hold them tightly until the end of my life.
Family members, does anyone understand? My little supporting character was forcibly straightened out by the censors—no, I mean, their gender was changed! Waaaaah! If you find anything incoherent, please just replace Yu Xin with Yu Hancheng, female to male, she to him, and put yourselves in the characters' shoes.
