When he was with the Ning family, Wen Huifang thought that Ou Minglang was a smart, quick-witted boy with a good background and a very upright heart.
He's good-looking and has a bright future in mainland China.
Wen Huifang smiled at Director Ou: "Looking at them, I'm reminded of when I married my husband, I was even younger than this."
She felt that Ningning was a good match, since Ningning grew up in mainland China and might not be able to adapt to life in Hong Kong.
If Ningning likes the child, she would be happy to see it happen.
Director Ou was taken aback when he immediately sensed Wen Huifang's attitude. Did Madam Wen really like that boy Minglang so much?
However, he had met Ning Yuan once and thought she was a clever and quick-witted girl with a strong will and was a good girl.
Before he could even marvel at how his little piglet had already rooted for cabbages, he saw a tall figure walk up to Ning Yuan and Ou Minglang.
Then, the man forcefully stepped between Ning Yuan and Ou Minglang, and even put his arm around Ning Yuan's slender shoulders, before speaking to Ou Minglang in a very serious tone—
It's an overbearing stance that's proclaiming sovereignty.
Director Ou: "..."
Well, with this guy involved, our own piglets definitely won't get to eat cabbages.
After all, the delicate and docile domestic pigs of the Wenda compound are no match for the ferocious tusked wild boars from the Wuda compound.
Director Ou thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.
Wen Huifang frowned slightly, but her face remained calm and gentle with a smile: "What kind of background does that Mr. Rong have? He's a young hero, and he's good-looking too. I imagine he holds a high position."
Compared to Ou Minglang, whom she knew very well, she knew very little about Mr. Rong, only that he had some skills.
If her daughter likes it, and his overall conditions aren't worse than Ou Minglang's, and he can provide a stable life for the child, she'll also...
Director Ou vaguely replied, "Oh, he's just a retired soldier from Beijing, a temporary worker. He'll be fired after this job is done."
Wen Huifang's smile froze on her face...
A temporary worker after being discharged from the military? And about to be fired?
Although Wen Huifang knew she had no right to interfere in the life of a daughter she had never raised.
But she was a mother, and her beloved daughter had returned, causing her uncontrollable worry—
If they get together, wouldn't the man surnamed Rong have to rely on his daughter for support?
No, according to the information, it was Ningning who was raising this handsome older brother when they were working in the countryside.
Wen Huifang's temples began to throb.
Oh no, my daughter's obsessed with looks! She's so young and already planning to keep a gigolo. What am I going to do? I have to find out the truth!
She held back for a moment, and waited until she had finished exchanging pleasantries with Director Ou before making an excuse to go find her eldest son, Ning Bingyu.
...
On the other hand, when Rong Zhaonan put his hand on her shoulder, she knew he was jealous.
She said to Ou Minglang, "If the business license issue isn't resolved by next week, I'll come back to you for help."
She handles things on her own that she can manage.
She wasn't so aloof as to not use connections, but that was only when there was absolutely no other way.
After all, favors are something you only use once, so you have to use them wisely. Otherwise, how can you say that favors are hard to repay?
Ou Minglang nodded, his gaze falling on Rong Zhaonan's hand resting on Ning Yuan's small shoulder. He wondered, "Is this guy not planning to keep his marriage a secret?"
However, this is a matter between the couple, and he shouldn't ask.
Ou Minglang coughed lightly: "Well, I'm going to find my dad."
Ning Yuan had already hinted that she wanted to end the conversation, and he understood that perfectly.
Ning Yuan smiled at him and said, "Mm."
Then, she led Rong Zhaonan to the terrace: "Come on, I'll take you to see the flowers."
She and Ou Minglang never avoided each other in the past because she always felt that Rong Zhaonan had nothing to do with her—they were just business partners with a marriage certificate.
He was a chosen one, but he was destined to leave sooner or later.
She didn't care whether he was jealous or not. Besides, she and Ou Minglang were just classmates, and it wasn't up to a business partner to restrict her relationships with others.
Later, he insisted on having an affair with her, and he had to define her life.
They had a falling out and were on the verge of divorce, so she was even less likely to cut off contact with Ou Minglang for his sake.
But now that they are husband and wife, she has to consider his feelings and can't treat Ou Minglang the same way as before.
Seeing how obedient she was, Rong Zhaonan smiled happily and went with her to the edge of the terrace.
Under the moonlight, various morning glories bloomed one by one, their petals slightly damp from the night mist.
Rong Zhaonan looked at the flowers: "I remember you really liked morning glories back in the village."
Ning Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "You still remember?"
Back then, the cowshed was dilapidated, and she would always pick up a lot of wildflowers to put into the broken earthenware pots and wine bottles she found outside.
In summer and autumn, the most abundant flowers are morning glories in various colors.
Besides using it for flower arranging, she also uses it to weave wreaths with foxtail grass.
When it rains, she takes the flowers outside and lets them get soaked in the rain before bringing them back.
"From now on, we'll plant morning glories on our balcony too." Rong Zhaonan picked two and tucked them behind her ear.
The purple and rose-colored morning glories, though not particularly precious, had large blossoms that framed Ning Yuan's delicate, round face, creating a festive and refreshing look that made her appear even more like some kind of fluffy, adorable creature.
The intimate interaction between the two in the corner caught the attention of Ning Bingyu and Cha Meiling, and both of them had somewhat strange expressions.
"The tea party is about to end. Sixth Sister, go back first. I need to talk to Anan about something," Ning Bingyu instructed Cha Meiling softly.
Cha Meiling nodded, looked in Rong Zhaonan's direction, and said calmly, "Okay."
This tea party wasn't a formal one; it was just a simple small get-together.
The Ning family, represented primarily by Ning Bingyu and his second wife Wen Huifang, initially expressed their apologies and desire for continued cooperation to the "guests" from the mainland.
So it was over in less than an hour.
Seeing Ning Bingyu head in the direction Rong Zhaonan and Ning Yuan had left, Cha Meiling began to arrange for everyone from the Ning family to go back to their rooms to rest.
After arranging the people, she returned to her room.
But after changing into an inconspicuous outfit, she immediately took Anderson out again.
After all, there was no better opportunity to get to know the "guest" representatives than now, when Ning Bingyu was not around.
As Director Ou was about to get into his car, he suddenly heard a voice calling him from behind: "Director Ou!"
As soon as Ou Minglang turned his head, he saw Cha Meiling standing in the grove of trees not far away, watching his father and him.
Director Ou's accompanying secretary and bodyguards immediately placed their hands on the gun pouches under their clothes at their waists, watching Cha Meiling warily.
Cha Meiling looked at Director Ou with a humble and apologetic attitude and said, "Excuse me, I just have something I'd like to discuss with Director Ou. Is that convenient?"
Director Ou looked Cha Meiling up and down, remembering that she was Ning Bingyu's wife who was to marry him at the end of the year.
Could it be that the Ning family has something to discuss privately? But why send Cha Meiling? She hasn't officially married into the family yet.
He nodded slightly, a little puzzled: "Okay, let's talk about it in the conference room then."
...
Meanwhile, Ning Bingyu and Rong Zhaonan also arranged to meet separately.
Ning Bingyu looked at Rong Zhaonan in disbelief: "What did you say?! You're saying your woman is my little sister?!"
