Chapter 99: The Spoiled Little Troublemaker (12)
However, the girl standing in front of him at this moment obviously failed to understand the deeper intentions behind him.
This stunningly beautiful girl was now complaining and mumbling with a feeling of grievance, "Who would want to be friends with you? What's so great about you? Does the whole world have to revolve around you?"
As he said this, the jealousy in his eyes could not be hidden.
Jealousy makes people feel cute, Jiang Zhiran thought.
Seeing that Qingwu kept her head down and didn't look at him, Jiang Zhiran did something he had never done before in his life.
He slowly half-knelt down, and his originally tall and straight figure of 185cm was instantly shortened a lot.
At this moment, facing Qingwu sitting on the swing, he seemed much shorter than her and could only look up to meet her gaze.
Just like that, he stared at Qingwu's pretty little face, which was still tender and about to bloom but already beautiful enough to captivate the whole country, taking in all her shyness and charm.
Recalling what the girl had just said, Jiang Zhiran asked softly, "You just said that your father forgot your birthday. Is today also your birthday?"
Qing Wu was stunned, seeing the boy looking up at her with such bright eyes, as if there was a ball of blazing flame burning in his eyes, bright and dazzling.
At this moment, Qing Wu was a little distracted and responded subconsciously: "No, it was yesterday, yesterday..."
"But yesterday...yesterday, Dad completely forgot about my birthday! I didn't have a delicious cake, nor did I get the gift I'd been dreaming of. Not only that, but I had to come over and make friends with you like a beautifully wrapped gift!"
As she spoke, the grievances in Qingwu's heart surged like a tide, piling up more and more, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Jiang Zhiran, who was standing aside, felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard these words.
There have always been rumors in the outside world about how much the head of the Ning family dotes on his precious daughter, pampering her to the point of lawlessness, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Even such an important day as his own daughter's birthday, the head of the Ning family could completely forget it.
But this also allowed him to get to know Qing Wu, and Jiang Zhiran felt happy again.
Jiang Zhiran took a deep breath and said gently, "Your father didn't celebrate your birthday, so how about I celebrate your birthday? I'll celebrate your birthdays from now on. You'll receive as many birthday gifts as I receive. Okay?"
Qing Wu was stunned again when she heard this. She looked at Jiang Zhiran's sincere eyes suspiciously.
Her eyes slowly slid down Jiang Zhiran's face, and she looked him up and down carefully. This scrutinizing look made Jiang Zhiran's body stiffen in an instant, and he didn't even dare to move.
Subconsciously, Jiang Zhiran wanted to show his best and most perfect side to Qingwu without reservation.
Faced with Jiang Zhiran's behavior, Qingwu couldn't help but feel puzzled, with a puzzled light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"What can your gift be? It's all what you like. I don't want it."
Qingwu's face was full of complaints.
Jiang Zhiran suddenly realized, "Then I'll give you something else that you like."
Seeing Jiang Zhiran's sincere attitude, Qingwu's unhappiness was finally slightly relieved.
She nodded slightly, showing some satisfaction. She nodded proudly and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Zhiran smiled at this moment and replied softly, "Because I want to be friends with you. It's not you who wants to be friends with me, it's me, Jiang Zhiran, who wants to be friends with you. Can you tell me your name?"
Jiang Zhiran wanted to hear Qingwu tell him in person.
Because of the man's good attitude, Qing Wu's previous dissatisfaction with him dissipated a little. She raised her head and said proudly, "That depends on your performance."
Jiang Zhiran chuckled, "So, little princess, what's your name?"
Little Princess...
It seemed that only her mother when she was young had called her like this in her memory, which made Qingwu feel a little nostalgic.
In fact, Qingwu has always been lacking in love. This is due to the premature death of her mother in her childhood, which left her with no close relatives by her side.
"Qingwu, my name is Qingwu."
"Awu, I'm Jiang Zhiran, your...friend."
At Jiang Zhiran's coming-of-age ceremony that day, an extremely strange scene occurred: none of the wealthy children of the same age as Jiang Zhiran could have even the slightest intimate contact with him.
Only the most unruly and headstrong youngest daughter of the Ning family won the favor of Jiang Zhiran and became his friend.
In the Ning family, news came from somewhere that someone seemed to have accidentally offended Jiang Zhiran at Prince Jiang’s grand coming-of-age ceremony. It seemed to be Miss Ning?
He even pushed Jiang Zhiran and gave him a cold look.
The head of the Ning family was suddenly shocked.
He knew his daughter's willful and capricious nature very well. It was fine if she was spoiled at home, but how could she do this to Young Master Jiang? What would happen to his Ning family's business in the future?
He couldn't help but feel resentful towards his daughter. He had originally thought that his daughter's appearance might be able to attract the attention of Jiang Zhiran, a young man who was still in his teens. How could she have offended Jiang Zhiran?
He only has this one daughter, so naturally he would love her dearly.
However, he is a person who puts interests above everything else.
If this daughter offends the Jiang family because of her own fault, then he can only give up and have another one. Anyway, if the father-in-law hears that she has offended the Jiang family, he will probably not dare to say anything.
At this moment, the lover who had been accompanying him twisted her body, came forward to fawn on him in a delicate voice, and whispered in his ear, "Master, this young lady is really... This spoiled temper really needs to be changed."
"It's fine if you just scold us normally, but how can you boss Young Master Jiang around like that? If you make a scene like this, you're offending the Jiang family, and the Ning family's reputation is at stake. Now it's like the entire Ning family is offending the Jiang family."
After hearing these words, the head of the Ning family fell into deep thought, the anger in his heart burning more and more fiercely, mixed with a trace of fear that was difficult to conceal.
He took great pains to ask people around for information, and finally got a confirmed rumor: there was indeed a girl who was directly kicked out of the coming-of-age ceremony by Young Master Jiang.
At this moment, the head of the Ning family was extremely anxious and restless, racking his brains to think of how to get rid of the crisis brought about by this crime.
In a panic, he even thought of an extreme measure - if things really got out of control, he would have to publicly announce that he would sever the father-daughter relationship with his daughter in order to calm Young Master Jiang's rage.
In the face of family interests, family affection seems to become insignificant.
He happened to have been surnamed Ning for long enough, so it was time to return to his original surname, and the Ning Group should also be renamed.
The lover who had always been by his side was secretly delighted. When he was about to open his mouth to agree with the head of the Ning family's idea, the deafening roar of a sports car suddenly rang out, breaking the originally tense and solemn atmosphere.
