So the Ning family accepted Director Ou's invitation to the evening tea party.
The location was on a terrace of the Jinjiang Hotel, with a pergola erected there.
The moonlight was beautiful, and there were roses and morning glories in pink, white, purple, and blue planted on the terrace.
Ning Yuan likes morning glories. She stands on the edge of the terrace, touching one flower and looking at another.
"These lowly flower seeds, only people from the mainland would plant them in a place that's specifically for entertaining distinguished guests and foreign dignitaries. What kind of taste is that? But they do suit you quite well!" Ning Manfei walked over and sneered.
While touching the flowers, Ning Yuan suddenly remarked, "No wonder Uncle Ning didn't pass the family business on to his own branch of the family."
These days, people can't even get enough to eat, so people aren't that particular about the varieties of flowers. Restaurants just plant these flowers to create a visually appealing scene.
Ning Manfei paused, her sharp, sinister gaze sweeping over them: "What did you just say? Say it again?"
Ning Yuan couldn't tolerate her this time and said coldly, "Look at you. Compared to Miss Cha, you have no manners whatsoever of a young lady from a noble family. You're just like an old hen, clucking all day long. What can you do besides cursing, being mean, and causing trouble?"
She can also use such shallow and provocative methods.
Ning Manfei was furious that her newly adopted cousin dared to criticize her like that, pointing at her and saying, "You country bumpkin, how dare you boss my dad around? Who do you think you are..."
Ning Yuan interrupted her again without any politeness: "I'm not telling your father what to do, I'm telling you what to do! After all, if the eldest branch of the Ning family is full of people like you, your father would be self-destructing by handing over the family business to you!"
Ignoring Ning Manfei's livid expression, she rolled her eyes at her.
"And what do you care who I am? Anyway, I'm not your mother. Having a daughter like you is the worst luck imaginable!"
Ning Manfei is such an annoying person. She's just being sarcastic and mean, as if anyone can be.
Ning Yuan launched into a tirade, then turned and left in a huff, leaving Ning Manfei no chance to scold her.
She didn't care that Ning Manfei was the most favored daughter of the first wife, nor did she care whether the relationship between the first and second wives would deteriorate because of her.
Ning Yuan was too lazy to engage in such low-level sarcastic banter with Ning Manfei, so she simply went all out and cursed her out, hoping to stop this so-called second cousin from causing her any more trouble.
Ning Manfei stared at her back, but did not fly into a rage and start a fight as Ning Yuan had imagined.
Her eyes were cool and devoid of anger; she simply tapped the railing with a half-smile: "Tsk, those surnamed Ning are all troublemakers."
Then, she composed herself, her expression hardened, and followed as if nothing had happened.
Ning Yuan sensed footsteps approaching from behind. Her brow furrowed coldly. This person was going to keep going on and on!
She simply changed direction and went to find Cha Meiling.
When Cha Meiling saw her coming, she was surprised, but she still maintained a gentle and beautiful smile: "What's wrong, little sister?"
Ning Yuan frowned and asked bluntly, "How many people like Ning Manfei are there in the Ning family?"
If it's always like this, she doesn't even want to listen to their proposal to hold a family reunion banquet in Hong Kong.
Her ideal state is to be the most unfamiliar family member to the Ning family, whether she wants to express her love or apologize to her.
—A transfer of funds is a way to express gratitude for patronage, and everyone is happy!
Cha Meiling glanced at Ning Manfei's cold face and knew that Ning Yuan had been harassed again.
However, this girl is not the type to suffer a loss; just look at Ning Manfei and you'll know she got the short end of the stick.
Cha Meiling smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. Sister Manfei is like this... not often."
Seeing Ning Yuan and Cha Meiling talking together, Ning Manfei snorted and went to sit down on the other bench.
Ning Yuan looked at the two men behind Ning Bingyu and Wen Huifang and raised an eyebrow: "Isn't Vivian coming?"
Cha Meiling shook her head: "She has other jobs. Last time she came, she was just temporarily filling in for Assistant Ye and Assistant Tony."
Ning Yuan knew immediately that Vivian had indeed been replaced, and she smiled lightly with a cheerful expression.
"It's a shame that Vivian, who is so snobbish and makes people uncomfortable, can be replaced, but Ning Manfei is a true member of the Ning family."
Cha Meiling didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled.
Fortunately, Ning Yuan only intended to use Cha Meiling to avoid Ning Manfei's anger.
She didn't want to grab Ning Manfei's hair and whip her in front of others, especially in front of her birth mother and so many distinguished guests.
Just as Ning Yuan finished speaking, she saw Ou Minglang and Director Ou and their group come in from outside, and she immediately went to greet them.
Cha Meiling stared intently at her retreating figure.
When exactly will Ning Yuan's godmother ask her to hand over that jade chili pepper?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make a move.
...
Ou Minglang also attended this tea party, dressed as a clerk and accompanied by other staff members, standing beside Director Ou.
Upon seeing Ning Yuan, he deliberately lagged behind by two steps, winked at her, and indicated that he had something to ask her.
Ning Yuan went over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
