Is Little Rain a great beauty?
Li Shaoyang glanced back twice.
Sure enough, in the sea of people, she was the first one I saw, shining brightly like a light bulb, blocking Ning Hongze and Jiang Cha.
Did she see it?
Did I just see him on a blind date?
So how did she feel?
Li Shaoyang was thinking to himself, but when he looked up, he met Ning Hongyu's gaze. Ning Hongyu raised an eyebrow at him, and the next moment, a teasing look appeared on her face.
Li Shaoyang's heart sank immediately.
This guy doesn't seem to feel anything at all.
Li Shaoyang gritted his teeth and walked in their direction.
Li's mother was left looking at him thoughtfully, and then at Ning Hongyu.
Oh dear, could it be that her silly son has feelings for Hongyu?
But before, when she asked him, didn't he always say he didn't like it?
Didn't you say you've always treated Ning Hongyu like a younger sister?
"Hey, you just saw that?" Li Shaoyang asked, standing right in front of Ning Hongyu. "How did you feel about it?"
"What do you mean? Are you picking out a future sister-in-law for me? If so, of course I'm happy. My brother already has a sister-in-law. If you also have a wife, then I'll have another sister-in-law."
Ning Hongyu said with a smile.
"Really? Are you that happy?"
Looking at her radiant smile, Li Shaoyang felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest, a feeling of suffocation that was extremely uncomfortable.
Did she not feel anything at all?
"So which one do you think looks the best?"
"Hmm, the sixth one." Ning Hongyu lowered her head and thought for a moment. "That lady is nice. She's beautiful, has a great figure, and exudes a kind of charm that makes people feel comfortable."
“Coincidentally, I also think the sixth one is pleasing to the eye,” Ning Hong said. “But that’s your own business. The most important thing is that you like it. However, I don’t think the first one is a good choice.”
“Me too, her eyes were always darting around, and I saw her getting entangled with other men.”
Ning Hongyu whispered in Li Shaoyang's ear.
She shouldn't have said such things, after all, it's their private matter. But emotions trumped reason, and since she and Li Shaoyang had a good relationship, she naturally had to stand on Li Shaoyang's side.
"You worry about me too?"
"Of course I'm worried."
Hearing her answer, Li Shaoyang felt a little less frustrated. "Since you're so worried about me, why don't you just marry me? That way, you won't have to worry about me being hurt by others."
"How can you do that? I'm your sister."
Ning Hongyu's eyes widened. "My brother told me that you were worried he would marry me off to you, so he told me I absolutely could not fall for you."
Li Shaoyang: "—"
That being said, is he able to take back what he said?
What's said can't be taken back.
Since that's the case, he can only be a little thick-skinned; if he can't take it back, he can always go back on his word.
If you're thick-skinned enough, there's always a way.
The family was having a great time at the restaurant, but they never expected to run into someone they didn't want to see as soon as they got back to their doorstep.
"Why are you here?"
Ning Hong looked at his aunt and uncle with a cold face and indifferent expression.
Why have these two families come knocking on our door again?
"Oh, so you're not welcoming us?"
Aunt Wang Ping sneered, "Is this how you treat your own aunt?"
"But we also need to see what kind of person my aunt is. I can't expect her to be a jerk just because she's a jerk, can I?"
Ning Hong clapped her hands and said, "Let this trash go with the wind."
"Ning Hongze, you—"
"Just say what's on your mind, don't act like we're on very good terms."
"What can I say? You're a rich man now, so naturally you look down on us poor relatives," Wang Ping said sarcastically.
"Now that you understand our thoughts, you should hurry back and not make things difficult for yourself."
“Ning Hongze, how can you talk to your aunt like that? She is your mother’s own sister.”
Ning Shunchang, the eldest uncle of the Ning family, also spoke up.
"And what about you? What are you doing here? You're also my father's brother!"
"Since you still acknowledge me as your uncle, I—"
“Wait, who said I acknowledged you?” Ning Hong raised her hand, interrupting Ning Shunchang. “I never said that.”
"Are you trying to cut ties with all of us relatives?"
Ning Shunchang and Wang Ping exchanged a glance, and anger rose on both of their faces.
"You're right, I really do want to sever ties with you." Relatives like them only leech off us and sell us out.
“You unfilial son, you don’t recognize your ancestors, I can sue you.”
"Go ahead, I also want to know what kind of crime it is to refuse to support my uncle and aunt?"
In all his life, he had only ever heard that those who didn't support their parents and children were guilty.
"Why are you so stubborn, child? I only said a few words to you back then, and you still hold a grudge like this?"
Seeing that someone was coming, Wang Ping immediately played the emotional card, "I know you resent me for not helping you back then, but our family is poor too."
"Yes, it's because our family is too poor that we can't help you. Even if we were richer, we wouldn't treat you like this."
"That's really just—spreading the argument," Ning Hong retorted sarcastically. "Stop with the nonsense, what exactly are you here for?"
“Well, Hongze, you see, your cousin is getting married soon, but the bride’s family is asking for a lot of dowry. We can’t afford it, so we have to ask you for help.”
Seeing that Ning Hong remained unmoved, Wang Ping then set her sights on Ning's mother.
"Little sister, you wouldn't want to see your older sister suffering like this, would you?"
"I don't care." Ning's mother turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to her.
She could never forget that her son was lying in the hospital bed, and she almost knelt down to them, but they still refused to lend her a single penny, insisting that her husband sell the land at a bargain price.
“You were willing to stand by and watch me die back then, so I’m willing to sever all ties with you today. Besides, we don’t have any money.”
"You—" Wang Ping was furious, "How can you run a restaurant like this and not have any money?"
They heard it from others.
It was witnessed by the villagers themselves.
The most useless cripple and sickly man in their village actually opened a restaurant in the city, and most importantly, the business was booming. I heard they made a lot of money every day.
Both of them were dressed differently than usual, and if it weren't for the limp, they wouldn't have been recognized.
Wang Ping was dismissive at the time. Pretty? How pretty could her sister be?
But now, seeing her sister looking so radiant, she realized that the man hadn't lied to her.
Her sister is really different now—
