She was going to find Ning Bingyu.
There are some things she needs to discuss with someone.
However, the moment she opened the door, a tall figure appeared in front of her, startling her.
"Big brother?"
Ning Bingyu stood at the door, one hand in his pocket, the other raised as he was about to ring the doorbell.
Seeing her open the door, he raised an eyebrow: "Where are you going so late?"
Ning Yuan paused for a moment, then regained her composure: "I'm coming to find you."
Ning Bingyu raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised: "What a coincidence? I was just looking for you too."
Ning Yuan stepped aside, gesturing for him to come in: "What would you like to drink?"
Ning Bingyu walked in and closed the door behind him: "I don't want to drink anything."
Ning Yuan poured him a cup of tea and looked him up and down: "You look terrible, what's wrong?"
Ning Bingyu took the tea, gulped it down, and recounted what had happened in the study afterward with a cold and gloomy expression.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head as she listened: "No wonder my uncle wouldn't let me stay; there's such a big juicy story behind this."
Those who can directly participate in such core decisions are all figures with core power in the Ning family.
She was young and inexperienced; in her uncle Ning Zhengkun's eyes, she was probably just a promising junior.
Listening to gossip is fine, but when it comes to real business secrets, you're not qualified to listen in.
Ning Yuan looked at Ning Bingyu with a teasing expression: "But he probably didn't expect that you, the big-mouthed CEO, would turn around and tell me all of this."
Ning Bingyu rolled his eyes at her without any politeness: "If I'm not doing well, do you think Mommy and you younger generation won't be affected?"
That gloating, damned char siu girl!
Ning Yuan shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
She glanced at the shadows under Ning Bingyu's eyes and changed the subject: "Well, your older sister is trying to sideline you from the project. Your uncle is clearly trying to promote her, probably because he thinks you and I are too disobedient."
One or two of them refused to obediently follow his arrangements for marriage.
Ning Bingyu rubbed his temples in frustration and slammed the teacup down on the coffee table.
"I'm not a CEO position that anyone can just take over. I absolutely won't let my older sister mess around with the Tsim Sha Tsui Marine Tower project. I won't let my project benefit someone else!"
Ning Yuan frowned slightly: "You want to give up? I'm not happy about it. Don't forget, I also have a stake in that project!"
In her past life, she was just an ordinary person who only knew that the project was very successful from some news interviews.
But she really didn't know the inside story.
The only thing that can be said for sure is—
In their previous life, the Ning family certainly didn't let the Whampoa Garden project affect the construction of Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Ning Bingyu glanced at her sideways, his face still gloomy: "Have you found out anything about Annie's release from prison?"
He paused, a hint of coldness in his voice: "Annie has brought a lot of trouble every time she appears these past few years."
Last time it was Cha Shenlou, this time it's Chen Jingsong!
Ning Yuan's gaze fell on the jewelry box that hadn't been put away yet, and she sneered, "That's right, this woman is a troublemaker."
She reached out and picked up the jewelry box, waving it in front of Ning Bingyu: "These are all the things she gave me."
She opened the box, inside which several magnificent diamond jewelry pieces gleamed with a cold light under the lamp.
Ning Yuan said coolly, "When she gave them to me, each one was more expensive than the last. Anyone who didn't know better would think she liked me a lot."
To put it bluntly, Cha Mei-ling was using these nice things to show herself the difference between a Hong Kong socialite and this mainland bumpkin.
Ning Yuan tossed the necklace back into the jewelry box, making a crisp clinking sound.
Ning Bingyu looked at the jewelry in the box, a thoughtful look flashing in his peach blossom eyes.
Cha Meiling is indeed generous; any one of these items is quite valuable.
But her attitude towards Ning Yuan always carried an inexplicable strangeness.
Ning Yuan closed the jewelry box, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you. Don't be jealous, big brother. Your ex-fiancée has a new fiancé now."
Ning Bingyu subconsciously looked up, a strange glint in his eyes: "Who?"
“Zhou Yan.” Ning Yuan said with a mocking expression.
Ning Bingyu's gaze instantly turned inscrutable and icy.
He had long since lost all feelings for Cha Meiling.
However, he never expected that Cha Meiling's fiancé would be Zhou Yan.
Ning Bingyu raised an eyebrow: "No wonder you look so pale, like you've seen a ghost."
He had long since severed ties with Annie, but his younger sister still harbored feelings for Anan.
Suddenly, she realized that Zhou Yan, who looked exactly like Rong Zhaonan, was actually Cha Meiling's fiancé.
How could I not feel disgusted?
Ning Bingyu lightly pressed the glasses on his nose and said calmly, "Even if Zhou Yan's face looks exactly like Anan's, he is not Anan. Besides, now, anyone who gets involved with Annie is doomed."
Ning Yuan scoffed. Those two resentful siblings were truly...
She said indifferently, "What they do is none of my business. But if it involves my wallet, that's a different story."
As she spoke, she handed the telegram she was holding to Ning Bingyu, saying, "Take a look for yourself."
Ning Bingyu took the telegram, quickly glanced through it, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"So... she was released so early. That means Annie didn't go back to Hong Kong, but went to Singapore? What a coincidence, I learned from Singapore customs yesterday that she did indeed enter Singapore more than a year ago."
A shadow crossed Ning Yuan's eyes: "I've had my connections on the mainland investigate. Annie did not collude with Cha Shenlou, but she has admitted to drugging you."
She paused for a moment: "However, she redeemed herself by exposing a lot of the dirty deeds of Cha Shenlou, so she was released after serving less than a year."
Ning Bingyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Then, she went to Singapore to work as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer. It sounds reasonable, but I always feel that something is not right."
Anne's path to a comeback was too smooth, so smooth that it seemed like someone had deliberately arranged it that way.
Ning Yuan leaned back on the sofa listlessly: "Who knows what kind of bad scheme she and that Zhou Yan are plotting this time? I'll continue to use my connections in the mainland to investigate. I'll leave the Hong Kong government to you, brother. If all else fails..."
She looked at Ning Bingyu lazily and said, "You should go and apologize to your uncle and marry Miss Li. Maybe if he's happy, he'll hand over the Ning family business to you."
