After leaving the Qiaohui Shopping Mall, Ning Hongzao felt that someone was following her.
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Is she being targeted?
Could it be that she was too generous in the mall just now? Her brother was right after all, one shouldn't flaunt wealth. How could she have gotten so excited that she showed off so much money?
However, with so many people on the street, the person behind her probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. If they did, she would scream loudly.
Ning Hongzao clenched her fists and quickened her pace.
As she sped up, the people behind her quickened their pace as well.
Just as the guesthouse was in front of her, Ning Hongzao was suddenly grabbed on the shoulder.
Ning Hongzao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately screamed.
"Ning Hongzao, what's your name?" Han Qingshan covered his ears, looking completely bewildered.
This girl must have lost her mind; why is she shouting so loudly for no reason?
"Han Qingshan, is that you? What are you doing here? No, why are you trying to scare me?"
"I wasn't trying to scare you. I just saw you and came up to say hello out of kindness. Who knew you'd get so excited?"
"Am I excited? I'm clearly scared."
Ning Hongzao looked at Han Qingshan with a wary expression. Unlike the other girls in the village, she had no interest in Han Qingshan.
Therefore, she only felt a little strange about Han Qingshan's appearance, and felt no joy at all.
"Don't you want to know why your so-called mother suddenly came looking for you?" Han Qingshan suddenly leaned close to Ning Hongzao and whispered in her ear. His voice was so soft that probably only Ning Hongzao could hear it.
"Why? You know? How do you know?"
Why are you so wary of me?
Seeing Ning Hongzao's increasingly wary gaze, Han Qingshan couldn't help but smile wryly, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."
“My brother said that bad people don’t wear their badness on their faces. Even if it’s someone you know very well, you should be wary if they suddenly appear in front of you.”
"And what about your brother?"
“My brother also said that there are only two people in this world who will not hurt me: one is him, and the other is my father.”
Han Qingshan: "???????"
"What your brother says isn't necessarily right." After a long pause, Han Qingshan finally managed to utter this sentence.
"I know that my brother may not always be right, but he would never harm me, that's for sure."
"I know, you have a good brother." Han Qingshan said bitterly, "Let's go find your brother, and I'll explain this to you in front of him."
Looking at Ning Hongzao's beautiful profile, Han Qingshan felt excited, but the more excited he became, the more serious his face became, making Ning Hongzao worry.
Han Qingshan's expression is so unpleasant, does that mean he doesn't actually want to tell her at all?
If that's the case, why did he come here? It's completely inexplicable!
If Han Qingshan knew what Ning Hongzao was thinking, he would probably cry.
Han Qingshan likes Ning Hongzao.
Back in the village, the person he liked was Ning Hongzao, but unfortunately, Ning Hongzao didn't reciprocate his feelings at all.
So many girls in the village liked him, but the girl he was thinking about had no interest in him.
His personality made him so serious whenever he got nervous, which is why Ning Hongzao thought Han Qingshan disliked her.
Otherwise, why would he smile so happily at other girls in the village, but only have a stern face when facing her? What does it mean to dislike someone?
My brother said that if someone doesn't like you, you shouldn't go after them.
If you rush them, they won't appreciate it.
And so, the two remained silent on the way back until they returned to the guesthouse and saw Ning Hongze.
With the rest of the Ning family present, Han Qingshan's tense mood finally eased somewhat, and his expression also relaxed considerably.
He told Ning Hongze everything he knew.
This was also a coincidence.
After Hua Qingqing and Ning Hongzao had a falling out, she stayed by Han Ningxin's side.
I overheard Han Ningxin and her follower talking about how Ning Hongzao was going to marry a fool. But it was a good deal for her. The Peng family was one of the most powerful families in Beijing. Ning Hongzao, a country bumpkin, was lucky to marry into such a wealthy family.
"Then, Hua Qingqing told you."
Everyone in the village knew that Hua Qingqing liked Han Qingshan, but Han Qingshan had always been indifferent to her.
When Hua Qingqing went to find Han Qingshan, Han Qingshan happened to be painting, and he was painting Ning Hongzao's profile.
Hua Qingqing knew Ning Hongzao very well and recognized her at a glance. She was furious and felt deceived. Although Han Qingshan was so cold to her, she always felt that Han Qingshan was interested in her. Otherwise, why would he only talk to her among so many girls?
It turns out it was all because of Ning Hongzao.
Back in the village, she and Ning Hongzao were good friends, which is why Han Qingshan treated her differently. Hua Qingqing was furious and told him everything she had heard before.
He also told Han Qingshan to stop daydreaming.
Hearing that Zhao Qing wanted to plot against Ning Hongzao, he became anxious and followed her there.
“I’m worried that you’ll be too soft-hearted and let Hongzao acknowledge her biological mother. If that happens, Hongzao will be in danger.”
Although marrying into the Peng family would bring a life of wealth and glory, the man in the Peng family is a fool.
"That Zhao Qing is too heartless." Ning Anping was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he heard the news. "She said she didn't want the red dates back then, and I went through all the trouble of raising them. Now she comes to pick the peaches without even asking if I agree."
"Dad, don't be angry. We won't let them succeed."
“That’s right, Dad. I don’t want to acknowledge Mom back. I don’t want a mother like that,” Ning Hongzao said through gritted teeth.
She was extremely upset.
Although she had no intention of acknowledging Zhao Qing, she still harbored a sliver of hope. However, reality proved far too harsh, deeply wounding her heart.
"This is simply outrageous!" Grandma Ning was furious. How wicked must Zhao Qing be to ruin her jujubes like this? "No way, Hongze, go and find out where the Han family is. Tomorrow, this old man will sit at their doorstep."
"Grandma, your health isn't good. Don't ruin your health for unrelated people."
"I'm just so angry!" Grandma Ning pounded her chest.
"Don't worry, Hongzao will only marry someone she loves. If the Han family agrees to the Peng family's request, then let someone with the surname Han marry into the family. Otherwise, let someone with the surname Zhao marry into the family. Hongzao's surname is Ning, what does it have to do with them?"
