No, absolutely not. She couldn't let her life be ruined by that idiot from the Peng family.
Han Ningxin saw Zhao's mother off with a solemn expression.
Her father asked her mother and maternal grandmother to persuade the Ning family, but to no avail. It seems they'll need to think of another way to get Ning Hongzao to marry that fool from the Peng family in her place.
Han Ningxin's birthday is coming soon.
Unlike Ning Hongzao, who was born in the dead of winter, Han Ningxin was born in the summer.
It's almost the end of July, nearly August.
The weather is a bit hot.
However, the Han family had already asked someone to buy several of the latest electric fans, which were placed in the yard and provided a refreshing breeze.
To celebrate her birthday, Han Weiguo decided to set up two tables at the restaurant so that Han Ningxin could invite her friends to get together.
Han Ningxin declined. The restaurant was too crowded for her plans, so she decided to hold a birthday party at home instead.
Anyway, just leave the house empty that day.
Han Weiguo thought about it and agreed. It's better to stay at home; at least it'll be more low-key.
Han Ningxin sent an invitation to Ning Hongzao.
She originally thought Ning Hongzao's trip to Beijing was just a quick visit before she went back, but who knew that her family had actually bought a house in Beijing.
This is what she heard from her maternal grandmother. It's a courtyard house, and most importantly, this courtyard house will be her dowry in the future.
Why doesn't she have such a generous brother?
That's truly enviable.
Ning Hongzao's family now owns a house in Beijing, so there's no need for them to rush back.
She hired someone to observe them.
They seemed to have no particular purpose, spending their days sightseeing and visiting almost all the tourist attractions in Beijing.
Hearing that Ning Hongze was generous, he bought Ning Hongzao a lot of novel things.
She didn't have any of those things.
Even though she was the daughter of a senior colonel, she didn't have that much spare money to spend. Most importantly, her parents clearly favored her younger brother more.
If there were a courtyard house, it would definitely be given to her younger brother; she would never be willing to give it up as part of her dowry.
For a moment, Han Ningxin's feelings were somewhat complicated.
She didn't know whether she should sympathize with Ning Hongzao, who had been abandoned by her mother, or envy her for having such a good father and brother.
When Ning Hongzao received the invitation, she tossed it aside without saying a word.
It's obvious this is a trap; there's no good in it, so why go?
Han Ningxin didn't even consider that her relationship with her had never been good, not to mention that the Peng family's affairs were involved. Anyone with a brain would never go.
Ning Hong agreed with Ning Hongzao's approach, saying that a wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall. Knowing there is a conspiracy, it is not shameful to run away if you do not have the absolute strength to fight back.
Especially since Ning Hongzao is a girl.
If Han Ningxin had the same thoughts as that aunt Wang Li from back then, she would probably make a move at this banquet. The best way would be to make it a fait accompli.
These days, while widows are encouraged to remarry and divorced women are treated with considerable leniency, it doesn't mean that premarital relationships can be freely engaged in.
If Hongzao's innocence is ruined, given the Peng family's power, they will surely force her to marry their foolish son, under the guise of taking responsibility.
The best course of action is to not go.
"Red Date, let me take you to buy some more clothes. Girls should dress up nicely."
"Brother, I saw an outfit I liked in a store the other day, can you buy it for me?"
She wouldn't stand on ceremony with her brother.
Ning Hongzao smiled and took Ning Hongze's arm.
"Okay, let's go buy it right away."
Han Ningxin's birthday party was a great success, and all her friends came. Unfortunately, Ning Hongzao didn't show up at all.
Looking at Peng's silly son sitting to the side, gnawing on his nails, Han Ning felt somewhat defeated.
The trap has already been dug, but the person in question just won't show up.
This idiot is just so annoying to look at.
"Ningxin, I heard that your family is going to arrange a marriage between your families and the Peng family. Are you going to marry him?"
Zhao Yun blinked and said innocently.
"Don't talk nonsense. It was Aunt Peng who asked me to look after Peng Er."
If she were to marry into the Peng family, she should naturally marry Peng Da. What would marrying Peng Er be? Of course, she also knew that Peng Da probably wouldn't even look at her.
but??????
Han Ningxin's thoughts wandered between Zhao Yun and Peng Er.
Since Ning Hongzao didn't come, wouldn't it be enough to just find Peng Er a wife? There are so many girls here...
Han Ningxin suddenly had an idea.
As for herself.
She could also find a partner here first, so that her father wouldn't sell her in the future.
Anyway, the families of the people in front of her were all of similar social standing to hers; marrying any of them would be better than marrying Peng Er.
Because of the invitation, Ning Hong made a special trip to inquire about the details of the birthday party.
A lot happened at the birthday party, so things got a bit out of hand.
Han Ningxin slept with Luo Yu from the Luo family, and was caught red-handed by Han Weiguo.
Luo Yu was completely stunned. He didn't even know what had happened. He just looked at Han Ningxin, who was naked beside him, with a blank and helpless expression on his face.
How did he end up sleeping with Han Ningxin?
This was naturally Han Ningxin's scheme.
She originally intended to marry Zhao Xi, but then she thought that Zhao Xi had a younger sister named Zhao Yun, and that she wouldn't have a good life if she married into that family. She thought it would be better to marry Luo Yu instead.
