Chapter 285 The Scapegoat



"Didn't I already say that Uncle Ning wasn't behind you, yet you still ran forward without looking back?"

"I'm not doing this to protect the card. With this card, I'm not going to treat you to all sorts of luxury!"

"Take a break first, you're even out of breath when you speak."

"I'm exhausted, really." Ning Qianqian leaned against the wall, bending over and panting. It took her a while to recover.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Five minutes later, a red phantom streaked out of the underground parking garage of Ningde Group.

"Hey Ning Qianqian, is this how you usually drive? I've never seen you drive this fast when we were in school," Wang Xinghe said, watching Ning Qianqian weave through traffic as the cars in front of her grew larger and larger.

"There's a lot you don't know. I was just showing off my driving skills to my old classmate. Now I've finally won this round, haven't I?"

"You win, but you should still drive slower."

"What? Are you scared? Then say 'I lost,' and I'll surrender, okay?"

"No, I'm not scared, I'm scared of your driving skills."

"What?! You don't believe me?"

"A little, so you'd better slow down, or I'll call Uncle Ning and tell you how you 'tortured' me."

"It's no fun." Ning Qianqian slammed on the brakes. If Wang Xinghe hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, his forehead would have hit the front of the car.

"Speaking of which, you've become quite handsome in the past six months. Back in high school, I was always wearing my school uniform, so I never realized you were actually quite good-looking."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Maybe it's because you've always been wearing your school uniform, and I haven't gotten the point. Speaking of which, that girl from our school who studies dance, what's her name again? She has good taste. There was quite a stir when she was pursuing you."

"Shi Yue".

"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's Shi Yue. I didn't expect you to still remember your old flame. You still can't forget her?"

"Come on, I just happened to run into her when I went back to Ningjiang a couple of days ago. She's with Li Zheng now."

"Li Zheng? That show-off? I heard he's my classmate and also got into Jiangnan University."

"right."

"How about it? Regret it now? Isn't Shi Yue incredibly beautiful? With your current status, what are you afraid of? Just snatch her away!"

"I never said I liked her. When did I say I liked her?"

"You don't like that you still remember her, and you remember her so clearly."

"Nonsense."

"That's just being unreasonable! I didn't! You're right, who are you now? How could you possibly be interested in someone else's used goods, especially your nemesis's woman?"

"I have a girlfriend."

"You have a girlfriend? How is that possible? Who would even want you! You're such a quiet, studious guy, all you do is study. How come you have a girlfriend? Your driving skills aren't as good as mine, are you trying to catch up?"

Believe it or not.

"Tch! Keep pretending. Get out of the car, we're here!"

"Why are you taking me out for Western food?"

"Can't I eat what I want? I'm treating you to a meal, stop with the nonsense and come in with me!"

"Miss Ning, you've arrived. Is this your boyfriend?" The restaurant manager had been waiting at the door for some time.

"Do you think he's good enough for me? Clear the area right now!"

"Okay, Ms. Ning, we can clear the area for you in three minutes."

"Use my dad's card today, use whatever you want." Ning Qianqian handed the card to the manager.

"Okay, Miss Ning."

"Oh, right, arrange for a pianist too."

"Okay, Miss Ning."

"Is this how you usually spend your money?"

"What! You think I'm spending money recklessly? This is my dad's money. He's usually so stingy with me. It's not like I'm spending his money all of a sudden, so of course I have to retaliate by spending it!"

"Isn't this your family's money?"

"No, that's not true. It's his, and I'm mine. Even if I don't spend it, he'll spend it anyway, which is a waste. Besides, you're my dad's honored guest. If he asks me about it later, just say you spent it."

Wang Xinghe recently felt he should go to a temple to take a look, as he's experiencing some bad luck and is about to become a scapegoat, a professional scapegoat.

Wang Xinghe rolled his eyes at Ning Qianqian.

"What's wrong! Are you angry? You're a boy, don't be so petty."

"Ning Qianqian, I'm speechless, not angry."

"Speechless, aren't you angry? Alright, I'll order you some extra good food later to make up for it, and open a bottle of good wine too."

"Why would you drink alcohol at noon? You drove all the way here."

"So what if we drove here? If you've been drinking, just have your driver pick us up. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Miss Ning, we have already cleared the area."

"Let's go in, Wang Xinghe."

"Ms. Ning, this is our menu. Please see what you would like to order."

"Hey! Wang Xinghe, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

"As long as there are no dietary restrictions, it's fine." Ning Qianqian closed the menu.

"Manager, please bring me a set of your restaurant's ten most expensive dishes."

"Okay, Miss Ning, is there anything else you need?"

"What kind of red wine do you have in your Western restaurant? By the way, the more expensive the better!"

“Miss Ning, our Western restaurant just purchased Romanée-Conti from European vineyards yesterday.”

"OK! Let's open a bottle of Romanée-Conti!"

"Okay, Miss Ning."

"Go quickly, I'm hungry, make it fast."

"I'll arrange it right away."

"Uncle Ning, I don't know whether to be happy or cry about having a daughter like you."

"I'm his precious daughter, he'd be overjoyed, not crying!"

"Hey, seriously, Li Zheng mentioned in the group chat the other day that he's having a class reunion. What do you think?"

Li Zheng smiled slightly. He already knew about this matter, but he didn't expect Li Zheng to act so quickly and start preparations so soon.

"Not very good."

"I know you don't get along with your classmates, but isn't this class reunion a chance to slap those classmates who mocked you in the face? I'll be your straight man, and we'll give them a good beating. Just thinking about it makes me laugh, doesn't it?"

"I already said it's not good, it's even boring."

"Hey! Wang Xinghe, you don't want revenge now? How did they humiliate you back then?"

"It's been so long, I've long forgotten about it."

"What a pain! Our teacher always talks about you, but you're heartless!"

Speaking of his homeroom teacher, Wang Xinghe really felt a little sorry for him. The teacher had helped him so much during his nearly three years of high school, but when it came time for him to repay him in the college entrance examination, the teacher suddenly transferred schools.

"Class reunion, I'm going!"

"Wow, Wang Xinghe, your thought process is really unique! No wonder you're a top student, you're so quick to think. One second it's boring, the next second it's amazing!"
