At this time, the waiter brought up the afternoon tea.
Huo Jieyan interrupted Yan Ning's thoughts, "Xiao Ning, the chef who makes dim sum in this restaurant is a former student who studied abroad.
The dim sum has a Western flavor and is quite delicious. You should try it.”
Yan Ning came back to his senses, smiled slightly and nodded, then picked up the fork and ate the dessert on the plate.
Not far away, four or five tables away, sat a radiant old man and a middle-aged man in a black suit.
These two people are Mr. Ning and Ning Shaoming.
Old Master Ning’s position was just right so he could see Yan Ning’s profile.
He stared at Yan Ning for a long time, a trace of longing in his eyes, and he murmured to himself in a low voice:
"Yes, they look exactly alike. She must be Yuwan's child, that's why she looks exactly like her grandmother."
Ning Shaoming retracted his gaze from Yan Ning and looked at Old Man Ning, "Dad, do we still need to wait for the results of the investigation? I just don't know how long Yan Ning will stay in Hong Kong.
I'm worried that Yan Ning will have to return to the mainland before the investigation results are passed on."
Old Master Ning retracted his gaze and said, "Wait, it won't take a few days. Let's have someone pay attention to her news in Hong Kong first.
We must produce evidence to give an explanation to the mother and daughter. I also want to know what happened over the years."
As he spoke, Mr. Ning stood up and walked towards the door, turning the Bodhi Buddhist beads in his hand.
Ning Shaoming stood up and followed.
Yan Ning took a sip of coffee. When she noticed that the two gazes on her had disappeared, she pretended to casually turn her head and look in a certain direction.
But I only saw the backs of a middle-aged man and an old man leaving.
The middle-aged man looked like Director Ning.
Judging from the social distance between the old man in front of him, he should be a very familiar elder with whom he has a good relationship.
Considering that Mrs. Ning just said that she and Old Madam Ning looked exactly like each other, it is not difficult to guess that the old man was Old Man Ning.
Yan Ning retracted his gaze, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then glanced at Sister Huo Yan opposite him calmly.
From the angle where Mrs. Ning was standing, she could clearly see in the direction of Director Ning.
But when she saw Chairman Ning and Old Man Ning, she didn't say hello, as if she knew they were coming.
So the Ning family was doubting my identity, and took advantage of Madam Ning's invitation to have afternoon tea to secretly observe and confirm that I looked exactly like Madam Ning?
This made Yan Ning even more curious about the truth of the matter.
It’s a pity that she hasn’t read the entire novel, so she doesn’t know how the plot develops later.
It was around 4:30 and we were almost done with afternoon tea.
Huo Jieyan looked at Yan Ning and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning, after spending this afternoon together, I really like you more and more.
I'm inviting you to my house in a couple of days, you must come!
I'll show you a photo of my mother-in-law when she was young, and you'll believe how fateful this is."
Yan Ning smiled slightly, "I am indeed very curious. Then I will wait for Aunt Huo's invitation."
Huo Jieyan: "Okay, I'll call your hotel and tell you when the time is confirmed."
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries and left the restaurant together.
Yan Ning and Cheng Jingyi got in the car and drove away.
Cheng Jingyi leaned back in the back seat and said, "Yan Ning, do you feel that Mrs. Ning's words and actions are strange today?"
Yan Ning leaned lazily on the backrest, "A little bit, maybe he was too surprised by my appearance!"
Cheng Jingyi continued, "I've only met Madam Ning once, but now that I think about it, you two do look a bit alike.
So what Mrs. Ning said about you and Old Madam Ning when they were young might be true."
Cheng Jingyi was a little confused. Are there really two unrelated people in the world who look exactly the same?
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Maybe it's fate. My parents are both born and raised in the mainland and have never been to Hong Kong.
If I hadn't come to Hong Kong for something and hadn't met Mrs. Ning by chance,
We may never know that there is someone in the world who is so similar to us."
"That's not necessarily true! Perhaps you two are related by blood."
Cheng Jingyi thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "You should know that the Peng family came from the mainland before,
I heard from my mother-in-law that the Ning family also moved here from the mainland since Grandpa Ning's generation.
Maybe there is some elder in your family who is related to the Ning family.
Otherwise, how could two people who are not related by blood look exactly the same? "
"Maybe!" Yan Ning looked out the window.
There is a blood relationship for sure, otherwise the Ning family wouldn't come to see me today.
I don’t know whether this relationship is good or bad for me.
But please don't let it be like in TV dramas and novels, where after recognizing her, they use her as a pawn to marry off to a business partner.
Now we can only take it one step at a time and wait for the Ning family to come to us.
The vehicle soon stopped in front of the hotel.
Yan Ning said goodbye to Cheng Jingyi, got out of the car and went into the hotel.
