Cha Meiling wanted to stay, but knew it wasn't the right thing to do.
She put on her jade chili pepper and smiled gently: "Then I'll wait for you and your brother outside."
After saying that, she turned and left gracefully, displaying the demeanor of a domineering older sister-in-law.
Cha Meiling stepped out of the private room, turned around and looked at the door for a moment, then suddenly asked Anderson, "How much money do you have on you?"
Credit cards and checks are not accepted in mainland China; only cash is accepted.
Anderson was taken aback, then quickly took out his wallet and pulled out more than 800 yuan.
"This is all I have."
The largest denomination of RMB now is the ten-yuan note, and a stack of over eight hundred yuan is already quite thick.
Several waiters not far away stared wide-eyed; these Hong Kong government officials were truly wealthy!
Cha Meiling took out her wallet. She only had a little over a hundred yuan on her, which was equivalent to two months' salary for an ordinary family.
Seeing Cha Meiling's actions, Vivian asked astutely, "Sixth Miss, are you taking out the money to give to that... that Miss Ning Yuan from the North?"
Cha Meiling nodded slowly: "My sister has a hard life. You've seen that her clothes are all worn out."
Ning Bingyu's private meeting with Ning Yuan was likely also intended to give her money.
Vivian couldn't help but frown and complain, "Her words and actions are so shabby and vulgar, she really doesn't seem like a member of the Ning family..."
Cha Meiling coldly interrupted her: "Vivian, I hope you will be careful with your words and not say things you shouldn't say. Learn from Anderson how to be a qualified senior secretary, otherwise I won't be able to protect you either."
Vivian froze, then lowered her head: "Yes, Miss Six."
She's become restless.
In her heart, every young master of the Ning family was an outstanding individual, and the sixth young lady was the most famous socialite in Hong Kong.
This so-called youngest daughter of the Ning family is not even as good as her own secretary. She's really lucky!
Inside the private room, Ning Yuan stared at Cha Meiling's departing figure for a while before turning back to look at Ning Bingyu.
"What does Young Master Ning want with me?"
Ning Bingyu looked at her, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. Why was this girl staring at Sixth Sister?
Although he thought it was unlikely, he felt that she knew Sixth Sister...
Ning Bingyu looked at her for a while before slowly saying, "Grandpa said that thrift is a virtue. You've worked hard all these years."
As he said this, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the large denominations from it, and placed it on the table.
She smiled and said, "What, you feel sorry for me and want to give me money?"
Ning Bingyu frowned, knowing that she was unruly and difficult, and that she was probably going to get angry.
He said, "I didn't mean to look down on you, it's just..."
"Thank you, that's great. I like being showered with money. Since you feel sorry for me, then shower me with even more."
Ning Yuan simply picked up a wad of cash and put it in her pocket.
Ning Bingyu choked.
Ning Yuan just now acted like she didn't care about your marriage and wouldn't accept charity, but now she's asking for money?
Ning Yuan knew exactly what he was thinking, her big eyes crinkling into crescents—
"What's wrong? If we weren't family, would Young Master Ning not take pity on me and give me some money?"
Ning Bingyu was speechless at this moment; you've said everything, good and bad!
His composure was such that he couldn't bring himself to say anything more hurtful to the girl who was most likely his sister.
He frowned, his gaze sweeping over the gauze on her face and the gauze wrapped around her throat.
In the end, he said calmly, "Mommy will be heartbroken to see you like this. Later, I will have Vivian send you some more money so you can get proper treatment and buy clothes."
Since she didn't act as aloof as she claimed, that's for the best.
People who love money are easier to please and cause less trouble than those who don't.
Listening to his words, Ning Yuan roughly knew what he was thinking.
Unfortunately, she loves money, but she's also very troublesome.
However, it's okay to make the money-spending boy happy now.
Ning Yuan was unusually well-behaved and didn't talk back: "Okay, thank you."
After the group left, Cha Meiling smiled and gently held Ning Yuan's hand, saying to Ning Bingyu, "I'd also like to say a few words to my little sister about women's matters."
After saying that, she looked at Rong Zhaonan with a slightly cold gaze: "What, is this officer also going to continue following us?"
Rong Zhaonan looked at her without saying a word.
Cha Meiling then pulled Ning Yuan a few steps to the side and began to speak in a low voice.
Watching Cha Meiling's retreating figure, a dark light flashed in Rong Zhaonan's cool and aloof eyes.
This was the second time he had seen this woman today.
But for some reason, he felt as if he knew this woman very well.
Rong Zhaonan seemed to be deep in thought. He returned to China after the age of thirteen. Could it be that he had met him abroad?
He has an excellent memory, almost photographic, and indeed has no memory of Cha Meiling.
Unless the other person looks very different when they were young.
This unfounded sense of familiarity was quickly interrupted by the voice behind him.
“It seems that Anan and my little sister have a very good relationship because she can recognize someone who is not related to her by blood as her cousin,” Ning Bingyu suddenly asked.
Even though they had just fallen out, he could still act as if nothing had happened and call Rong Zhaonan a brother with the same affection.
Rong Zhaonan turned to the side, watching Ning Bingyu's lips curve slightly—
"Didn't Young Master Ning also recognize Miss Cha, who is not related to him by blood, as his god-sister?"
Ning Bingyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Meiling and I are engaged, and we grew up together, so it's naturally different. Surely it's not like that between you two?"
This was an open and undisguised question.
Rong Zhaonan's eyes were dark and unreadable: "Ning Yuan and I are friends who have gone through thick and thin together. Our brother-sister relationship is no less than yours with Miss Cha."
This was an ambiguous statement, and Ning Bingyu frowned slightly: "I remember Anan has someone she likes? Do you know her, little sister?"
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly: "I know them, they're very close, it's like..."
He paused, then smiled and said, "I also want to thank Young Master Ning for sending me the Hong Kong government videos. They really broadened my horizons and taught me a lot of interesting things."
He spoke these words sincerely, yet made no attempt to conceal the malice in his eyes.
Ning Bingyu looked at his expression suspiciously, feeling that something was off.
The two men are testing each other with subtle hints.
The two women over there were just as formidable.
Ning Yuan looked at the thick wad of money being stuffed into her hand and asked knowingly, "This is...?"
“Your godmother will definitely feel sorry for you. Buy more things to help you take care of your health. Clothes and dresses... the style of the mainland is not suitable for Hong Kong. When you get to Hong Kong, your sister-in-law will help you get new ones.”
Cha Meiling is gentle, generous, and authentic.
Ning Yuan said softly, "Miss Cha is so magnanimous. She doesn't look down on us mainlanders, unlike some Hong Kong government officials who have their ancestral home in the mainland but still look down on their ancestors."
She started by saying that, and Cha Meiling smiled and followed up, "Yes, my ancestral home is Meizhou in Guangdong, so I am also from the mainland."
Ning Yuan paused, then lowered her long eyelashes.
Yes, that makes sense. In her previous life, Cha Meiling married Rong Zhaonan as a native of Meizhou, Guangdong.
Cha Meiling patted her hand and said gently, "Don't blame your brother for asking you to give him the token to take home first."
She sighed: "The first jade chili pepper is in Grandpa's hands. Grandpa is very old and he is just hoping for your return home for a family reunion."
It was a good thing for Ning Yuan that she didn't hand over the jade chili pepper.
Since the item was in her older brother's hands, it wouldn't be easy for her to get her hands on it.
Ning Yuan smiled, her eyes crinkling, seemingly carefree, but then suddenly asked—
"Oh, I see. I thought this jade chili pepper was hiding some secret treasure, which is why it was so coveted."
