That's hilarious!
Hearing He Suosuo's words, Lin Wanyi also laughed out loud, "A janitor's granddaughter has the nerve to act high and mighty in front of me, how disgusting."
He Suosuo linked arms with Lin Wanyi, saying, "Jiang Ning has always been the kind of person who is extremely vain. She always tries to outdo me in front of others. Wanyi, don't take her seriously."
Lin Wanyi's eyes were full of disdain. "Of course I won't stoop to the level of someone like that!"
joke.
Arguing with a cleaner's granddaughter over trivial matters will only lower her status.

Jiang Ning only remembered to unpack the gift that Chen Jingnian had sent the night before after she got home.
She didn't know much about luxury goods and usually bought her bags on a whim, but she was still a little surprised to see that Shen Jingnian had given her ten bags at once, and she could tell from the packaging that these bags were not cheap.
There was a special cabinet for bags in the walk-in closet of the third-floor bedroom, so Jiang Ning took all her bags upstairs to the cabinet in the walk-in closet.
After putting her bag away, Jiang Ning noticed a lipstick set at the bottom.
There are more than 60 in total.
The color scheme is very comprehensive, ranging from dark to light.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
"They're here, they're here."
Jiang Ning ran downstairs to open the door.
"Ta-da!"
The door just opened.
A bouquet of flowers came into view.
Then Yue Qianlan's cute little head peeked out from beside the bouquet, "Happy birthday, Ningning~"
"Thank you, March."
Jiang Ning did not immediately accept the flowers, but instead reached out and hugged Yue Qianlan.
Yue Qianlan smiled and hugged Jiang Ning, "Ningning, why are you still so polite? I've already said we're family."
A few seconds later, Jiang Ning released Yue Qianlan, took the flowers, and took out the special cat slippers she had prepared for Yue Qianlan from the cabinet. "What would you like to drink? I'll go pour you some."
"I want to drink lemon cola." Yue Qianlan also put on her cat slippers very naturally.
“Okay.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “We happen to have lemons at home.”
Jiang Ning placed the flowers on the table, then went to the kitchen to make lemon cola. She sliced lemons, put them in a container, added ice cubes, and then vigorously blended them into lemon juice before adding cola.
A refreshing, thirst-quenching drink rich in Vitamin C is ready.
Taking a bite of this on a hot summer day is incredibly refreshing.
Jiang Ning was beating up lemons, while Yue Qianlan skillfully found a vase in the cabinet of the villa and arranged the flowers in it.
Just as Yue Qianlan finished arranging the flowers, Jiang Ning finished preparing the drinks.
"March, here you go."
Yue Qianlan took the drink, then, as if remembering something, took out a jewelry box from her bag. "Ningning, this is your birthday present."
Jiang Ning's face lit up with surprise, "Is it for me?"
“Of course,” Yue Qianlan continued, “Ningning, open it and take a look.”
Under Yue Qianlan's expectant gaze, Jiang Ning opened the jewelry box.
On the black velvet lay a jade bracelet, icy and translucent, with excellent texture and clarity. It was the kind of bracelet where the landscape could be seen without needing special lighting; it was simple yet elegant.
Jiang Ning had some knowledge of jade and gemstones, so she naturally knew that this jade bracelet was quite valuable!
"March......"
Yue Qianlan seemed to know what Jiang Ning was going to say and spoke first, "Ningning, this is an old mine jadeite that my dad specially asked a friend to buy. It is said that jade can nourish people and ward off evil spirits. You must not refuse this. If you refuse my birthday gift, then I don't want the birthday gift you give me either."
Ever since Jiang Ning gave her a unique gold lock for her birthday, Yue Qianlan has been wearing it.
It has never been taken off.
Hearing her say that, Jiang Ning smiled and held out her hand, "Okay, then help me put it on."
"That's more like it," Yue Qianlan said with a smile.
Jiang Ning has very fair skin and slender, white fingers, long and delicate like scallion segments. Her neatly trimmed nails have a healthy pink hue, a kind of beauty that is both pleasing to the eye and very natural.
Yue Qianlan held her hand and gently slipped the jade bracelet onto her wrist.
The icy jadeite bracelet from the mountainside, worn on her hand, exuded a cool yet noble beauty, as if it had suddenly come alive and possessed vitality. Usually, it is the bracelet that complements the person, but with Jiang Ning, it was the person who complemented the bracelet.
Yue Qianlan exclaimed, "Beautiful, beautiful! Ningning, you could easily be a hand model!"
Jiang Ning raised her hand and gently shook the bracelet. "It really is beautiful, March, you have excellent taste. I love this gift!"
"I'm glad you like it." Seeing how much Jiang Ning liked the gift she gave her, Yue Qianlan was genuinely happy.
Jiang Ning continued, "By the way, March, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll have the housekeeper come over and cook."
Jiang Ning can do a little bit of everything, except cooking.
In her previous life, she lived in an orphanage. Although the orphanage would cultivate the children's ability to live independently and teach them to cook, she had no chance to be exposed to those things because she was selected for a gifted class when she was 12 years old.
Later on, she spent all her time in the lab and office, and had even less opportunity to go into the kitchen.
After moving, Jiang Ning didn't want her grandfather to work so hard cooking every day, so she hired a housekeeper to come and cook lunch and dinner every day.
"Don't let Auntie come over, let's have hot pot for lunch! Let's eat at home. I brought some really delicious hot pot broth, my mom brought it back from Chongqing, it's spicy and numbing!"
“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “It’s still early, shall we go to the supermarket together to buy groceries?”
"Okay, okay!" Yue Qianlan's favorite thing to do is go shopping with her best friends.
10:30.
The two returned home laden with ingredients.
There are already several packages piled up at the door.
Jiang Ning picked them up and looked at them. Some were sent by Yun Haotian, and others by Wang Shengli, Chen Yin, and others.
They were all birthday gifts for her.
At eleven o'clock, Grandpa Jiang returned, carrying a cake. "Ningning, happy birthday. Grandpa is going out for dinner with his colleagues tonight, so we'll celebrate your birthday at noon today."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Jiang Ning said, taking the birthday cake from Grandpa Jiang's hands. "March is also coming."
"Hello, Grandpa Jiang." Yue Qianlan walked out from inside and greeted Grandpa Jiang politely.
"Thank you for coming to celebrate Ningning's birthday in March."
This was probably the most wonderful and meaningful birthday Jiang Ning had ever had.
She has family and friends by her side.
Because guests were coming over that evening, Yue Qianlan went home at 5:30. After Yue Qianlan left, Jiang Ning also prepared to head to the restaurant to meet up with Shen Jingnian.
She has already sent the restaurant's address and phone number to Shen Jingnian.
It is a high-end Cantonese restaurant.
The environment is excellent.
When Jiang Ning arrived, Shen Jingnian was already sitting by the window waiting for her. Seeing her come over, Shen Jingnian waved to her, "Ningning, over here."
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised to see Shen Jingnian.
She arrived fifteen minutes early, thinking she was going to wait for Shen Jingnian, but to her surprise, it was Shen Jingnian who was waiting for her!
"I'm sorry I'm late."
“I misremembered the time,” Shen Jingnian said calmly.
After they sat down, Jiang Ning handed him the menu. "What would you like to eat? Order whatever you like."
Shen Jingnian parted his thin lips slightly: "I'm not picky about food. Ladies first. I'll eat whatever you order."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Jiang Ning picked up the menu.
Buzz--
Just then, Shen Jingnian's phone rang.
He picked up his phone; it was a WeChat message from Yun Haotian.
Uncle, where are you? I'm coming to find you!
Shen Jingnian picked up his phone and typed two words with one hand: "Meeting."
