One sentence instantly brought the atmosphere to its most awkward point.
Ye Dong froze, looking at Ning Yuan with red eyes.
No one present expected Ning Yuan to speak so directly!
Ning Yuan slowly tapped the table: "Let me give you a suggestion. You can tell your brother Zhao Nan directly that I am not good enough for him, and that you can take care of him for the rest of your life."
"..." The crowd looked at each other, some were shocked, some understood, but they were all shrewd people and no one spoke up at this moment.
Ning Yuan looked at Ye Dong's smiling eyes and gave a cool smile: "Little sister, be more direct. We're both women, you really don't need to come looking for trouble with me!"
Do you like playing the straightforward, stubborn, and innocent girl type?
What she learned from her incredibly talented roommate Ding Lan over the past year was—
I didn't want to play along with their tricks, so I just overturned the stage!
Such blunt words left those around him speechless for a moment. Lu Congjun opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Ye Dong finally realized what was happening, her face instantly turning red. She stood up abruptly: "What are you saying... I... I never had such feelings for my brother! How could you insult me, insult my sister..."
"Alright, alright, I know you don't." Ning Yuan mimicked Ye Dong's tone from earlier, her face showing both helplessness and indulgence.
As for what to say after overturning the stage of the stubborn little white flower.
Of course it is—
Ning Yuan smiled gently and asked, "I wronged you. I'm sorry. I was just joking. Dongdong is a magnanimous child, so he shouldn't be angry, right?"
Ye Dong froze, and under the strange gazes of those around her, tears instantly streamed down her face.
She burst into tears: "How...how could you bully me like this?"
Lu Congjun was instantly at his wit's end and hurriedly got up to coax Ye Dong: "Alright, alright, Dongdong, your sister-in-law just said it was a joke."
Oh my god! The girl Rong Zhaonan has his eye on is no pushover!
But Ye Dong is the only precious daughter of the Ye family. If she is bullied by him, her parents will make trouble for her!
Ye Dong was so aggrieved that she cried uncontrollably, gasping for breath: "She went too far! It's one thing for her to insult me, but why did she have to insult my sister!"
The older sisters could only get up and surround Ye Dong to comfort her, after all, she was the youngest girl in the compound.
Ning Yuan, however, sat calmly and drank her tea.
Ye Dong's displeasure makes her happy.
As they were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Rong Zhaonan stood in the doorway, frowning slightly at the scene before him: "What's going on?"
As soon as Rong Zhaonan entered, he saw Ye Dong crying, but his first look was at Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan calmly said, "It's nothing. Ye Dong just played a joke on me, and I just played a joke on her back."
Ye Dong raised her voice instantly, took a few steps to Rong Zhaonan's side, looked up at him with teary eyes: "Brother Zhaonan! She insulted my sister!"
Rong Zhaonan said unhappily, "Dongdong, don't talk nonsense."
Ning Yuan is not that kind of person.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Ye Dong couldn't help but shed tears: "Brother, if you don't believe me, ask other people! She said that you and my sister had that kind of relationship, and that I wanted to replace my sister and that I was interested in you. Isn't that an insult to my sister!"
Zhao Nan doesn't like people mentioning his sister, and he especially doesn't like people mentioning their relationship!
This woman is so arrogant, saying such things in front of everyone.
Ning Yuan put down her cup and smiled slightly: "I didn't insult your sister. I was just joking with you. If this joke made you unhappy, I apologize."
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment. This girl from the south, who seemed so charming and tactful just now, was actually a tough nut to crack and didn't give anyone any face at all.
Ning Yuan stood up, put down her teacup, and smiled at the people around her: "Thank you all for welcoming me and Zhao Nan today. The food was very good. If you come to Shanghai or Ning Nan another day, I will definitely treat you. I'm full, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Aheng watched Ning Yuan unleash her ultimate move without daring to utter a sound, but upon hearing that Ning Yuan was about to leave, Aheng immediately wiped his mouth, got up, and followed her out.
Rong Zhaonan reached out and grabbed her arm, frowning, "Wait, Ning Yuan..."
He just went out to get a message, how did he come back like this?
Ning Yuan smiled casually: "It's nothing, just a joke. Dongdong is young and might be shy. I'll try to avoid appearing in front of her in the future. You, as her older brother, will accompany her after she finishes eating and then take her home."
If she stayed any longer, everyone would be disappointed, so it was better for her to leave first. She had prepared a way out and saved face for him.
After saying that, she skillfully flipped her wrist away from his grasp: "Aheng and I still have places to visit. If anything comes up, let's talk about it when we get home."
Ah Heng quickly followed Ning Yuan out the door. As he passed Rong Zhaonan, he winked at him and then ran off in a flash.
Rong Zhaonan frowned as he looked at Ye Dong, who was crying, and asked Lu Congjun, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Congjun stared blankly in the direction Ning Yuan had disappeared, then looked at Rong Zhaonan and blurted out a sentence without thinking—
"Holy crap, where did you find such a talent? Are you really not considering joining our company or that company that deals specifically with foreigners? She could come and do an internship first!"
Holy crap! Holy crap! That's exactly what their leader did with those foreigners last time. Every word he uttered at the negotiating table was a polite slap in the face, leaving people stunned!
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
He shouldn't have bothered asking that kid!
Others: "..."
Ye Dong stomped her feet in anger, tears streaming down her face: "Brother Junzi, are you crazy? You're helping outsiders bully me!"
Rong Zhaonan glanced at Ye Dong and said indifferently, "Dongdong, you shouldn't be here. Let Junzi take you back. Don't meddle in adults' affairs in the future!"
After saying that, he looked at Lu Congjun and the others: "I'll come find you guys for drinks again tonight, you can choose the place."
After saying that, Rong Zhaonan went straight out to find Ning Yuan.
Lu Congjun touched his nose, somewhat speechless: "Fine, I'll spoil you this once!"
He said he had something to do at work this afternoon, so it looks like I'll have to ask for leave!
But since it's been so rare for Young Master Rong to return to the capital, he'll spoil his younger brother this once.
Ye Dongcai didn't want to ride in Lu Congjun's car, so he stomped his foot and chased after him, calling out, "Brother Zhaonan."
Lu Congjun couldn't stop her at first, and could only quickly follow her out: "Dongdong!"
...
"Xiao Ning, don't be upset. Ye Dong went too far. From now on, you can confront him every time you see him. I'll go call the car over. Wait for me." As soon as A Heng stepped out the door, he said bluntly.
Ning Yuan shook her head: "Forget it, didn't Xiao Zhang and the others take the car? I'll just walk and take the bus back. I'm not that delicate."
Ah Heng scratched his head and said dryly, "Well, I guess they're just wandering around nearby. Maybe they'll see us when they turn around."
After saying that, she quickly went downstairs and ran outside, saying, "Wait for me!"
She's really bad at lying! She'd better quickly call those two bodyguards eating next door back and say it was a chance encounter!
Ning Yuan stood in the courtyard, looked up at the camphor tree in front of her, and sighed.
Although she embarrassed Ye Dong without any politeness, it was still a good dinner party that was ruined, and no one was in a good mood!
"Ning Yuan, I'll take you back." Rong Zhaonan came down to the second floor and saw the familiar petite figure standing there.
Ning Yuan watched him chase after her, remained silent for a moment, and then shook her head: "Aheng has already gone to get the car. I told you, if she causes trouble again, I won't show any mercy. But Brother Lu and the others mean well, so you should go upstairs and have dinner with them first."
Lu Congjun and the others did nothing wrong; they were just kindly hosting a welcome party for her and Rong Zhaonan.
They both left, and the game was over.
Rong Zhaonan's handsome face remained indifferent as he took the keys and walked out, saying, "I'll take you home first, and then we'll meet up for drinks tonight."
Seeing him walk straight toward her, Ning Yuan's annoyed mood improved slightly.
