He Su smiled as she looked Ning Yuan up and down. Was it because she resembled Ye Qiu?
Ning Yuan returned her gaze with neither arrogance nor servility, and said calmly, "Thank you, Aunt He Su. You still retain your charm."
No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she can use such methods to force Rong Zhaonan to break with his father and almost drive him to his death, you know she is a ruthless viper.
He Su narrowed her gentle and beautiful eyes, her charm still undiminished.
These words sound like praise, but they're actually a sarcastic jab at her for being old and still restless.
Tsk, she takes back what she just said.
This girl from a small city in Southwest China is nothing like Ye Qiu, who always pretends to be generous and gentle. She is a sharp and scheming little hedgehog.
She looked at Rong Zhaonan and said with a smile, "Zhaonan's tastes have changed quite a bit. Ningning is still my favorite."
Although it was said in a gentle, teasing tone, it made Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan feel uncomfortable instantly.
Ning Yuan could clearly sense that Rong Zhaonan's mood worsened when he saw He Su, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
Indeed, that one sentence was both a satire of himself and a satire of Rong Zhaonan.
"My partner only needs to suit my taste; he doesn't need to suit anyone else's taste," Rong Zhaonan said coldly.
Rong Wenwu frowned: "What kind of attitude is this?"
Rong Zhaonan said expressionlessly, "Is this the first day you've heard of this attitude?"
In front of Ning Yuan, Rong Wenwu was instantly humiliated, his face flushed red, and he was filled with fury: "You bastard..."
“Uncle Rong, this is your first time here, and I didn’t know what to bring you. I heard from Anan that you like a drink, so I brought some Hong Kong whisky,” Ning Yuan suddenly said.
Then, she picked up the gift box that Rong Zhaonan was carrying and handed it to Rong Wenwu with great enthusiasm.
Rong Wenwu looked at the little girl in front of him who was smiling brightly.
She has a round face, big, dark, bright eyes, a small upturned nose and a small mouth. When she smiles at people, her eyes curve into bright little crescents.
Brilliant and sincere.
Perhaps it's true that you can't hit a smiling face, but for some reason he couldn't vent his anger, and the feeling of a heart attack seemed to dissipate a little in that smile.
Rong Wenwu coughed lightly: "Hmm... You've worked hard, young lady."
This little girl isn't afraid of him?
When he's angry, not only does Secretary Qiu not dare to respond, but even his former subordinates who have become leaders don't dare to utter a sound.
Secretary Qiu stepped forward with a smile and accepted the gift, saying, "Comrade Ning Yuan has come all this way; you must be tired."
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "It's not hard work. I've heard Anan say that the fish with sauce at home is especially delicious. It's fish that Uncle catches himself in the reservoir. You can't get it anywhere else. That's why I came all the way here to ask for some!"
Rong Wenwu felt a mix of emotions when he heard Ning Yuan mention Rong Zhaonan's words.
With a stern face and his hands behind his back, he walked towards the door: "Well, that reservoir isn't a place anyone can go fishing in. The biggest one I've ever caught weighed twelve pounds. Come on, let's go downstairs!"
Ning Yuan held Rong Zhaonan's hand and dragged him along, following Rong Wenwu. She asked curiously, "You also like fishing. What do you use to bait your hook?"
When Rong Wenwu saw Ning Yuan ask such a professional question about baiting, a hint of surprise flashed across his originally serious face: "Little girl, you also fish? What do you use to bait your hook?"
Ning Yuan sighed: "When I was sent to the countryside, it wasn't easy to even get enough to eat. I would usually dig up a lot of earthworms and mix them with broken rice husks and grass to make a nest."
Upon hearing that there wasn't enough to eat, Rong Wenwu subconsciously glanced at his eldest son standing next to Ning Yuan.
However, Rong Zhaonan remained cold and ignored him.
Rong Wenwu's anger, which had been somewhat waning, was now showing signs of resurfacing, but he held back because of Ning Yuan.
He simply couldn't be bothered to look at Rong Zhaonan's deadpan face and asked Ning Yuan, "Besides using earthworms as single bait, can you also use them to create a feeding area?"
Ning Yuan nodded: "That's exactly the smell of earthworms that's needed to lure the fish..."
Fishermen are actually easier to approach than antique collectors.
Secretary Qiu watched as his former boss and Ning Yuan actually started talking, and even had a rather interesting conversation.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes behind his glasses. In the past two years, the old leader's aura had become increasingly cold and hard. Not to mention the young men and women in the compound, they were not very daring to talk to him. Even those in high positions were a little afraid of him.
This girl named Ning Yuan... is naturally popular with elders. She is pretty, clever, and likable. She speaks frankly and directly, without any affectation.
No wonder Sister Qian treated her so well. If he remembered correctly, this girl had only met Sister Qian yesterday.
"Quite a capable and cunning young lady... isn't she?" He Su followed behind and suddenly asked Secretary Qiu with a smile.
It can instantly divert Lao Rong's anger, and it can also subtly bring up Rong Zhaonan's concern for his father.
Secretary Qiu smiled but did not reply.
He Su didn't expect Secretary Qiu to respond, but just smiled coldly: "At such a young age, she has the ability to deceive people. No wonder Zhao Nan also fell for her tricks."
Rong Zhaonan did find a capable helper, no wonder he insisted on marrying her and went to great lengths to protect and hide her.
He Su narrowed her alluring eyes, staring at Rong Zhaonan's tall and broad back, and gave a light sneer.
Such a handsome boy, yet he's such a disobedient child, so naughty, and he even drags outsiders into her schemes. He's really annoying...
Did he think that by bringing along a cunning and powerful ugly girl, he could protect himself?
It's ridiculous. The ugly girl can protect you, but she's also your weakness.
When the ugly girl dies, or when she breaks up with you, I'm curious, what will you become?
He Su followed behind, a half-smile playing on her lips, her expression unreadable.
