"So, you're just low-class and a troublemaker?" Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow.
“You…” Ning Manfei was speechless after being silenced by Ning Yuan’s words, her carefully maintained face turning bright red.
Just then, a light footstep sound came from upstairs, and Ning Bingchao came down.
He had clearly overheard their conversation and couldn't help but laugh: "Second sister, how about it? Your little sister isn't so easy to bully, is she?"
"Ning Bingchao, stop being sarcastic!" Ning Manfei glared at Ning Bingchao, then glared at Ning Yuan.
She snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards her room: "I don't have time to waste with you guys!"
Ning Bingchao watched Ning Manfei's hurried departure, shook his head with a smile, and turned to Ning Yuan, saying, "Don't mind her, she's always like that."
She simply smiled faintly and said, "I know, Third Brother."
Angela looked at Ning Bingchao: "Third Young Master, we're going to get busy."
Ning Yuan suddenly looked at her, her tone calm yet tinged with coldness: "Angela, Ning Manfei is my second sister, from the main family. And what about you?"
Her gaze swept indifferently over the servants behind Angela.
"What qualifications, what status, to be here fawning over the powerful and belittling the weak?" Ning Yuan's voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling aura.
The servants looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
Angela raised her head, looked directly at Ning Yuan, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Seventh Miss, I was just doing my duty to remind you not to enter the Fourth Young Master's room. I didn't mean to flatter or belittle you. You're being too sensitive."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "When working in the old house, the only thing that matters is whether you have fulfilled your duties. This principle applies even when you are in front of the Second Madam and the Old Master."
Ning Yuan sneered: "Don't play word games with me. I'll say it right now, I'm not someone who'll just take things lying down."
She said with a half-smile, "You can look down on me, but don't show it. If anyone dares to give me attitude again, I won't be polite. After all, I am the daughter of the master. If they want to fire a couple of people, they will still give me face. Don't you think so?"
She was the master's daughter, and the servants took advantage of her, either because someone instructed them behind the scenes or because the servants thought that people from the mainland were poor and inferior.
If she doesn't have this much attitude, won't she be at the mercy of others?
Angela looked at Ning Yuan's face, her eyes flickering: "Seventh Miss..."
Ning Bingchao, who was watching the show with great interest, spoke up at this moment: "How dare you speak to Miss Seven? Mom invited you here to take care of people, not for you to put on airs!"
Angela's expression changed, but she could only lower her head and reply, "Young Master is right, I misspoke."
Ning Bingchao waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
Then, he put on a nonchalant smile and said to Ning Yuan, "Little sister, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick from it. Come on, your third brother will take you to have breakfast."
As he spoke, he affectionately put his arm around Ning Yuan's shoulder and half-heartedly led her downstairs.
Ning Yuan did not reject Ning Bingchao's overtures; she still had to give face to the third brother.
Inside the restaurant, the servants had already laid out a sumptuous breakfast. The Hong Kong-style dim sum was exquisite and small, the Western-style bread and toast smelled delicious, and there were also various fresh fruits and freshly squeezed juices.
"Where's Mommy?" Ning Yuan looked around and, not seeing the Second Madam, asked casually.
"Mommy went to the Morning Light Socialite Club early this morning." Ning Bingchao gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Ning Yuan.
He sat down opposite her after she had already sat down. "I need to check on the Christmas auction today; I probably won't be back until noon."
As he spoke, he poured her coffee: "What would you like to eat? Third Brother will get you some."
"Thank you, Third Brother, I can do it myself." Ning Yuan picked up her chopsticks and ate her breakfast slowly and deliberately.
Ning Bingchao put down his coffee cup and said to Ning Yuan with great interest, "Little sister, after we finish eating, your third brother will take you shopping. Just tell me what you want to buy, and your third brother will pay for it."
Ning Yuan wasn't interested: "I don't want to buy anything."
Ning Bingchao said with a smile, "Little sister, don't refuse me, this is Mommy's order."
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
After breakfast, Ning Bingchao took Ning Yuan out.
Hong Kong's streets are bustling and crowded, with skyscrapers standing side by side.
Ning Bingchao drove his flashy red convertible sports car, taking Ning Yuan through the streets, introducing her to various landmarks and famous shops along the way.
Including the local customs and traditions of Hong Kong, as well as the stories behind various luxury brands, it's as if he really is a considerate and caring older brother.
Ning Yuan listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words, but didn't show much interest.
The car stopped in front of a magnificent building. Ning Bingchao got out first and then gentlemanly opened the car door for Ning Yuan.
"How about it? Don't you think Hong Kong is much more prosperous than the mainland? This is the most luxurious shopping mall; you can buy whatever you want here."
Ning Bingchao said, making a "please" gesture.
"Yes, it's quite bustling." Ning Yuan nodded, looking at the bustling streets and buildings, and began to calculate how much the building was worth.
Hong Kong government properties are still at a low point right now, so if you can buy one... you can make a fortune by taking advantage of information asymmetry!
Ning Bingchao had no idea what his sister was planning, and enthusiastically led her into a luxury store.
...
"Brother Chao, you're here! These are all our store's latest styles..."
"Brother Chao, the lady accompanying you today looks stunning. Those high heels suit her perfectly..."
"Brother Chao, this bag..."
...
As soon as she entered the store, the sales assistants immediately surrounded her with enthusiasm upon seeing her as a big customer. The wide variety of goods on display dazzled Ning Yuan.
Ning Bingchao waved his hand and said, "This is my younger sister. Bring out all the latest clothes, shoes, and bags from the store and let her try them on. Send everything that suits her to Repulse Bay!"
"Okay, Brother Chao, please wait a moment." The sales assistants immediately became even more enthusiastic, each one of them wishing they could worship Ning Yuan.
"No need, Third Brother, I don't need these." Ning Yuan frowned. She had no interest in these luxury items and didn't want to spend Ning Bingchao's money.
"Of course you need it! You're the daughter of the Ning family, you should wear these!"
As Ning Bingchao spoke, he waved his hand without further ado, instructing the sales assistant to take Ning Yuan to try on clothes, and began to act out the role of a domineering CEO.
Anyway, young girls all fall for this kind of thing, the amazing transformation act.
