Chapter 7: No Good Banquet
When Man Nong heard what Nalan Junmi said, her face, which was already white due to powder, suddenly became even paler.
Because she can't get pregnant!
She came from a humble background, with no family background to rely on. She has achieved what she has today thanks to her health!
The torture she had endured was too much to bear. None of the rich and powerful treated her with respect, doing all sorts of filthy and disgusting things to her, calling her a rag and mistreating her...
It was not until she met Nalan Junmi that those people, fearing him, felt a moment of relief.
Although he sometimes treated her as just an object, he was generous with her material things. He also wouldn't let her sleep with him, probably because he disliked her for being unclean.
Such a sponsor makes people both like and feel helpless.
Therefore, she absolutely could not let him feel disgusted with her, otherwise she would have to go back to living that dark life!
Taking a deep breath, he resisted the urge to smash Wen Zhaozhao's face. "I'm in good health, no need to worry about me, Miss Wen!"
Without waiting for Wen Zhaozhao to reply, Fang Xingzhao warned sternly, "Miss Man, the food you ordered is getting cold."
"What?" Manong looked down at what she ordered. It was originally a platter of raw vegetables, so where did the heat come from?
Nalan Junmi tapped the table lightly with his slender fingertips.
Although he didn't say anything, Man Nong shuddered all over and immediately suppressed his emotions that had been a little out of control since Wen Zhaozhao came over.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
The main dish ordered by Cai Yuquan has arrived.
It was delivered personally by the restaurant manager, who apologized for the previous shrimp and gave them this most expensive dish for free as compensation.
A huge plate, with various ingredients arranged like a pyramid. At the bottom were some grains, potatoes, vegetables and fruits, above which were red and white meats, and at the top of the pyramid was a plate of crystal clear pink dumplings.
Wen Zhaozhao looked at the pink ball on top: "What is that?"
"It's edible mutant sturgeon roe. For people with special abilities, it can restore their physical strength. For ordinary people, eating it can beautify women's skin, while it can strengthen men's bodies." Cai Yuquan said with a smile.
"Then let me try this dumpling!" Wen Zhaozhao picked up the spoon and ate one. It tasted a little fishy, with a hint of spiritual energy.
"Miss Man, you can eat more." Wen Zhaozhao said to Man Nong. This dish is nourishing to her body.
Man Nong raised her head and smiled, trying not to force herself any longer. "I don't eat fish."
"What a pity." Wen Zhaozhao picked up the spoon and scooped a large spoonful for Fang Xingzhang. "Then you should eat more to replenish your body."
Fang Xingli immediately attracted everyone's attention...
Because of Wen Zhaozhao's appearance, everyone had their own thoughts during the meal.
At the end of the dinner, Nalan Junmi said to Fang Xingli, "The Sandbox Cup is about to start. The old man wants you to participate in the Sandbox Cup. If you can make it into the top ten, I can grant you a request."
Fang Xingli knew that this was the main purpose of today's meal. "My last name is Fang."
This means that he is not a member of the Nalan clan and will not participate in the Sandbox Cup.
Wen Zhaozhao was curious: "What is a sandbox cup?"
Cai Yuquan said, "The Sandbox Cup is a competition for superpowers from around the world. The Sandbox world, while called a sandbox, isn't actually a virtual environment, but rather a region inhabited by mutated creatures after a mutation.
The psychics participating in the Sandbox Cup will be judged solely by the psychic crystals they obtain.
Last time, the first place winner of the Sandbox Cup received a one trillion Blue Dollar bonus and a direct job at the United Nations Abnormal Control Bureau. It's said the prizes this time will be even greater, and the competition even more brutal."
Wen Zhaozhao's eyes sparkled when she heard this. "Then can I join in?"
Cai Yuquan looked at Wen Zhaozhao, "Why?"
"For the reward." Wen Zhaozhao said as a matter of course.
"Oh? Is it for the bonus, or to join the Alien Control Bureau?" Cai Yuquan asked.
"Bonus!" Wen Zhaozhao replied.
"No, that place is very dangerous, you can't go there." Fang Xingli stopped him.
Nalan Junmi extended his hand to Wen Zhaozhao, inviting her, "In that case, Miss Wen, would you like to team up with me? I also plan to take part in the trial this time, and all the rewards will belong to Miss Wen."
"Sure, sure." Wen Zhaozhao was about to shake hands again immediately.
Fang Xingli grabbed her hand and said, "No."
"Then it's settled." Nalan Junmi completely ignored Fang Xingli's existence. "Miss Wen, give me your phone number. I'll arrange the specific plan for participating in the competition."
"I agree to participate in the Sandbox Cup." Fang Xingqi stared at Nalan Junmi coldly.
Nalan Junmi smiled and said, "I just conveyed the old man's intention, but I didn't say I wouldn't go. I have already formed an alliance with Miss Wen, so it has nothing to do with whether you go or not."
"Ah?" Wen Zhaozhao saw that they were on edge, "Who are you two?"
Shen You whispered to Wen Zhaozhao, "Half-brothers."
Wen Zhaozhao understood, "The kind with which they have a bad relationship?"
Shen You nodded, "Yes."
Fang Xingli kicked Shen You and asked, "Are you full?"
"I'm full." Shen You said hurriedly.
Fang Xingzhang then said to Cai Yuquan, "Thank you for the dinner, Director. We'll be leaving now."
Cai Yuquan said: "Okay, come to the bureau to see me tomorrow."
"Yes, Director." Fang Xingli responded.
Wen Zhaozhao was forcibly dragged along by Fang Xingzhang, who said as they walked, "If you really want to participate in the competition, you should participate with me, not with him."
"Yes, you should go too. I'll get the bonus and you can go work at the United Nations." Wen Zhaozhao's calculations started clattering, and then he said to Nalan Junmi, "Then let's break up. Fang Fang and I will go together."
Nalan Junmi clasped her hands together, with a wicked smile that showed she was determined to win. "No, it's not possible. Once it's promised, it's set in stone."
What Fang Xingxi regretted most now was bringing Wen Zhaozhao to the dinner party.
…
Cai Yuquan looked at Wen Zhaozhao, Fang Xingxiang and Shen You, and after entering the elevator, he finished the wine in his glass.
"We'll be even from now on." The reason why he invited Fang Xingxi to dinner was because he owed Nalan Junmi a favor in the past.
So, even if he didn't want to get involved between the two brothers, he had no choice but to call Fang Xingxiang to repay the favor.
"Okay." Nalan Junmi replied, took a sip of wine, and then looked at Man Nong who remained silent on the side, "You can go now."
Man Nong looked slightly flustered. "Yes, Brother Nalan, if you need anything, you can always tell me."
"Hmm." Nalan Junmi twitched her bright-colored thin lips slightly.
Man Nong looked at his smile and suddenly felt weak all over. It was as if a huge hole appeared in her heart, and her soul was gradually falling into darkness...
When I stood up, my body swayed and I almost fell.
And Nalan Junmi was right next to her, with no intention of helping her.
Manong left in despair.
Nalan Junmi said to Cai Yuquan, "Do you want to go to the bar and have some more drinks?"
"You're treating?" Cai Yuquan was not surprised at all by Nalan Junmi's ruthlessness towards women.
This person has a dark heart. When you are useful to him, he will worship you like a god or be obsessed with you. But when you are no longer useful to him, he will discard you like a worn-out shoe, even worse than a rotten stone on the roadside.
Therefore, even if Fang Xingxi had the right to inherit the Nalan family, he did not think that he could win over Nalan Junmi.
"Please put this meal on my bill as well." Nalan Junmi said with a smile.
"Let's go." Cai Yuquan raised his hand and loosened the collar of his shirt, revealing a slender neck and a faintly visible sexy collarbone.
