Tang An did it on purpose; he asked that question intentionally.
This is called retreating to advance.
Because she knew that Shi Mubai definitely wouldn't want to bring Jiang Ning along to meet N.
By speaking out in advance, she could not only win Shi Mubai's favor.
It also demonstrates her magnanimity.
As expected.
Just as Tang An had expected, Shi Mubai frowned slightly as soon as she sent the message.
Should we take Jiang Ning with us?
Who is Jiang Ning?
She's arrogant and boastful, saying she can see N anytime.
Since Jiang Ning can see N at any time.
Why do you still need to beg him?
Isn't this contradictory?
He knew all along that Jiang Ning was definitely bragging!
Jiang Ning only has two identities that she can be proud of.
The first is the heir of the Shi family.
The second is the granddaughter of the Si family in Hong Kong.
Once Jiang Ning loses these two identities, she will be nothing!
We'll see.
Jiang Ning doesn't even acknowledge him as her cousin anymore, so naturally he can't indulge Jiang Ning!
Tang An was also kind.
If it were anyone else, given how Jiang Ning treated Tang An, they certainly wouldn't still think of Jiang Ning for all the good things!
But...
Jiang Ning, oblivious to her good fortune, has been scheming against Tang An and opposing him.
Shi Mubai immediately edited a message and sent it: 【I've severed ties with Shi Sheng. We're no longer siblings. If she wants to see N, let her figure it out herself! This isn't a wishing well.】
Upon seeing this WeChat message, Tang An's lips curled into a slight smile.
very good.
very good!
She knew Shi Mubai wouldn't let her down.
Although Tang An was very smug on the other end of the screen, the message he sent to Shi Mubai was quite sensible, feigning surprise: "Ah??? What? You broke up? Why? Brother Mubai, what happened between you and Sheng Bao?"
Just as Shi Mubai was about to reply to Tang An, Tang An's voice call came in.
Shi Mubai answered the phone, "Hello, An'an."
Tang An asked anxiously, "Brother Mu Bai, what's going on? Why did you break off your relationship with Sheng Bao? Are you joking with me?"
“I’m not kidding,” Shi Mubai’s voice came from the other end of the phone, very seriously, “An’an, I really have broken off all ties with Shi Sheng.”
Tang An sighed, "Brother Mu Bai, Sheng Bao is already very pitiful. She lost her parents when she was young and suffered a lot in the countryside. If she does anything wrong, please be more tolerant of her and don't be angry with her."
"She's had a tough time too."
Tang An's words, seemingly speaking in Jiang Ning's defense, were in fact a condemnation of Jiang Ning in every single one.
Under Tang An's deliberate guidance, Shi Mubai already disliked Jiang Ning, and upon hearing these words, he became even more furious.
"An'an, you think so highly of her, but do you know how she feels about you? I asked her to come and apologize to you, but she wouldn't. She doesn't even care about you as her older sister!"
Shi Mubai really hates Jiang Ning.
I hate it!
If Jiang Ning were half as sensible as Tang An, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
What angered Shi Mubai even more was that Jiang Ning didn't even give him, her cousin, any face!
"Let's forget about the apology," Tang An said, appearing reasonable. "Brother Mu Bai, I know you're standing up for me, but I've never taken it to heart. Sheng Bao and I are sisters. Since we're sisters, there's no need to be so clear about the distinction. Besides, when sisters get along, one of them always has to give in first."
At this point, Tang An continued, "Brother Mu Bai, Sheng Bao isn't actually the kind of person who holds grudges. Why don't you use this banquet as an opportunity to give her a way out, and you two can make up?"
“Shengbao likes N so much, she would be very happy if she knew you were willing to take her to meet N.”
Upon hearing Tang An's words, Shi Mubai almost laughed in anger.
Should he give Jiang Ning a way out?
Is Jiang Ning a good match?
ridiculous!
"An'an, stop talking. From now on, I only have you as my cousin. Shi Sheng and I have nothing to do with each other!" He would never forgive Jiang Ning.
Even if Jiang Ning comes to apologize to him, he will never acknowledge Jiang Ning as his sister again.
Tang An narrowed his eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashing in them.
good.
very good!
She grew up with Shi Mubai, so she knew his personality very well and naturally knew that Shi Mubai would not easily say something that left him no way out.
Since Shi Mubai has said that, it seems he has truly lost faith in Jiang Ning.
Tang An sighed again, and was about to say something when Shi Mubai interrupted her, "An'an, my mind is made up, so don't say anything more."
"Alright then," Tang An said, still with his gentle and kind demeanor. "I'm just a little worried. If it's just the two of us going to the banquet to see N, what if my grandma finds out? Will she be upset that I brought Sheng Bao to see N?"
By the end, Tang An's face was full of worry.
angry?
Even if Old Madam Shi found out about this, she had no right to blame Tang An.
After all, Tang An was far superior to Jiang Ning.
It's all Jiang Ning's fault for not being capable enough to meet N!
Shi Mubai looked at Tang An and snorted coldly, "An'an, even if Second Madam finds out about this, it has nothing to do with you. If Second Madam scolds you, then let her scold me instead!"
In the past, Shi Mubai thought that Old Madam Shi was the most fair and just matriarch of the Shi family.
But now.
Shi Mubai discovered that Old Madam Shi was not the kind of person he had imagined at all.
Jiang Ning is clearly inferior to Tang An in every way, but Old Madam Shi only has Jiang Ning in her heart, not Tang An.
No matter how well Tang An did, Old Madam Shi couldn't see him.
"Second Madam is just too biased!" Shi Mubai said, his face full of indignation.
“Brother Mubai, please don’t say that,” Tang An continued, “I never felt that my grandmother was biased. It’s her freedom to be nice to whomever she wants. I can’t be dissatisfied with her just because she’s not nice to me.”

After watching the movie, Jiang Ning went shopping with Shen Jingnian.
There is a large arcade on the sixth floor of the mall.
Although it wasn't Saturday or Sunday, the arcade was still packed with people, with a long queue at the service desk for topping up cards and exchanging game tokens.
Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning were among them.
