Chapter 465 The Blood Pack That Was Tricked (18)
"Don't even think about it, Cui Wenlan won't turn back."
Mr. Niu said in a deep voice, "Does that mean our family can't get involved in the project in the western suburbs either?"
"That kid is clearly trying to hog all the benefits, but you're still daydreaming."
Besides, Mr. Cui is perfectly capable of eating; why do you think he would spit out the meat that's already in his mouth and then feed it to you?
Here's what happened, but both father and daughter felt a surge of resentment, which boiled down to three words: Why?
...
Unwilling to give up, Niu Tongtong secretly found Ning Yan's phone number and arranged to meet her outside.
Ning Yan had nothing to do, so she went.
For some reason, the host didn't find a private room. It was just in a corner of the Western restaurant. Although there was some privacy, it was still inconvenient to talk.
"Miss Niu, it's nice to see you again."
Ning Yan didn't wait for anyone to offer her a seat and took the initiative to sit opposite Niu Tongtong.
"Order whatever you want to eat."
"Since Miss Niu is treating, I won't stand on ceremony."
"I'll have a set meal, and an extra steak, well-done, either chuck or short rib, please."
A flash of disdain crossed Niu Tongtong's eyes.
Ning Yan smiled at Niu Tongtong, "It's low-class, isn't it? The main reason is that I'm afraid of parasites."
"It's alright, I don't care if you look down on me."
Niu Tongtong was surprised that this woman from the countryside had given her a hard time, and her face turned somewhat ugly.
"Do you act like this when you go out with Cui Wenlan?"
Ning Yan smiled and said, "No, when I'm with him, he arranges everything for me."
I just need to be myself, and he will never look down on me.
Niu Tongtong: ...
They weren't the only ones in the Western restaurant; there were other people sitting at the table behind Ning Yan.
"Waiter, I'd like my steak well-done too, I'm worried about parasites."
This clearly shows that he had just heard Ning Yan's words; he originally wanted it cooked to medium-rare.
Niu Tongtong: ...
The food they ordered was served quickly. Ning Yan was a little hungry, so she focused on eating. Niu Tongtong saw that Ning Yan's table manners were perfect and couldn't find anything wrong with her, so she was very depressed and lost her appetite.
Ning Yan had almost finished eating when she looked up at her. "Miss Niu has probably been abroad for too long and has forgotten an old Chinese saying."
"What did you say?"
Ning Yan glanced at the food in front of her. "Wasting food is shameful. If you're also afraid of parasites, you can ask the waiter to take it to the kitchen and remake it."
Niu Tongtong glanced at Ning Yan's clean plate, though it wasn't exactly clean. Ning Yan didn't touch the decorative flowers and plants.
"I'm rich, so what if I waste money? I can afford to waste it!"
Ning Yan nodded without speaking.
"Why did you stop nagging again?"
"Miss Niu proved a point for me: you really can't reason with a shameful person."
Niu Tongtong wanted to curse, but then she remembered what she had just said: Waste is shameful.
"Alright, I didn't invite you out to compete with you in verbal sparring."
With your background, you are not good enough for him!
Taking you out will only tarnish his reputation, so be sensible and leave him on your own.
Don't wait for me to do it, or you'll be in big trouble.
"If I'm not good enough for you, then who is? You, Auntie!"
Niu Tongtong's voice suddenly rose: "You~you dare to say I'm old?"
"I'm twenty, nineteen in the traditional sense, and you're thirty-two. Is it too much of a burden for you to call me 'Auntie'?"
"He's older than me!"
"Hmm, you mean you want me to call him uncle? I'm fine with it, it doesn't matter. And you know what, it's actually quite charming!"
"You rich people really know how to have fun!"
Behind her, at the dining table, Kyoko made the sound of a knife slicing into a fork.
"Ning Yan! Don't go too far!"
Ning Yan said helplessly, "Okay, I agree."
His words were fine, his attitude was fine, he just had a strong sense of respect for elders.
Niu Tongtong was so angry with Ning Yan that she started breathing heavily.
"Ning Yan, no matter how eloquent you are, what I can give him, you can never do."
He and I are the perfect match!
Ning Yan didn't like hearing those words.
She could give Cui Wenlan nothing, but Cui Wenlan could give her money!
If Niu Tongtong takes her away, she'll have to find a new job.
Tell me about it.
“My family background is similar to his, and I’m a graduate of a prestigious university. We’re a perfect match…”
"All that talk was useless."
Even without you, Niu Tongtong, he would still be the richest man in H City.
What's the use of graduating from a university? Have you ever worked a day in your life and earned a single penny?
If he needs a woman to save face for him, I'm better than you; at least I still have a decent appearance.
So, where does your confidence come from?!
"I have a family backing me!"
Ning Yan scoffed, "As far as I know, the Cui family ranks first in H City, while your Niu family isn't even in the top ten. If the two families really become in-laws, it's your Niu family that's sucking blood from the Cui family."
"That's still better than you!"
"What makes me strong? Because I have a family of absolutely awful relatives?"
"Don't tell me I've already severed ties with them. Even if I hadn't, with his power, if he just sent a few people to watch over that family of three, they wouldn't even be able to leave the county town. He could just pay a few more people's salaries. Compared to me, do you think your family has any advantages?"
Niu Tongtong: What's going on? What she clearly sees as a strength is now seen as a weakness by Ning Yan?
“Miss Niu, all of this is false. Whoever Cui Wenlan chooses is the best.”
You don't need to argue with me, because it's pointless.
I've come here today only to ask you one question.
If Cui Wenlan went bankrupt one day, would you still want to marry him?
Niu Tongtong: "How could he possibly go bankrupt?"
Ning Yan shook her head: "Even Xu Jiayin is finished, so how could he not go bankrupt? Alright, no need to say more, I already know your answer."
"And what about you? If he goes bankrupt, will you still stay with him?"
“He was very good to me. He went bankrupt during the good time we were together. I will stay with him and help him make a comeback.”
Niu Tongtong scoffed, "You're good at saying nice things, but how are you going to support him?"
Ning Yan picked up her water glass and took a sip. "Miss Niu, do you know what the biggest difference is between you and me?"
You are like a precious orchid in a glasshouse. You need to be carefully cared for and pampered to bloom beautifully. Once you change your growing environment, you don't know how to live.
Slowly, it will get sick, wither, and die.
As for me, I come from humble beginnings and have come through hardship. No, I struggled to grow out of the mud. I have endured all kinds of hardship. Hardship did not break me; instead, it made me more resilient.
So even if I suddenly become penniless, I can still stubbornly survive.
Give me a little time, and I can earn enough to start a business. Even if he never recovers, I can still give him happiness and stay with him until he grows old.
That's the biggest difference between you and me.
After saying that, Ning Yan stood up. "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Niu. I am very satisfied with today's lunch."
goodbye."
Niu Tongtong watched her departing figure, so angry she wanted to roar, but her upbringing as a young lady prevented her from being presumptuous, and she could only suppress her anger.
