Chapter 361 Mary Sue's Sister-in-law (16)
Ning Shichu originally thought that as long as she didn't go to the Ning family by herself, the affairs of Ning Zhiyi and Chang Jiaer would have nothing to do with her. But she never expected that even if she didn't take the initiative to appear in front of those two people, those two people might appear in front of her.
It was the birthday of an elder of the Ye family, and Ning Shichu and Xi Ciming attended the party together. Because the elders of the Ye family were of high status, their descendants were promising, and they had many connections in the business and political circles, many political and business celebrities were invited to attend the birthday party.
The Ning family and the Xi family are both famous big families, so it was natural for them not to be invited.
After Ning Shichu and Xi Ciming arrived, they congratulated the birthday man and were about to go their separate ways when they suddenly heard some noise coming from a corner of the main hall.
The noise was quite loud, attracting many people to look over there, to see which family was so ignorant that they dared to cause trouble at Mr. Ye’s birthday party. This was so bold!
Ning Shichu had a bad feeling, so he looked over there and saw Chang Jiaer, who was wearing a white tassel halter dress and had a pretty face.
Ning Shichu: I hate why my eyesight is so good!
Chang Jiaer was being surrounded and mocked by several rich young ladies. Ning Shichu knew without thinking that they were mocking her, a country bumpkin who came from nowhere and had used some despicable means to hook up with Ning Zhiyi and sneak into the party. They also warned Chang Jiaer to know her own limitations and not to pester Ning Zhiyi.
Chang Jiaer must have been "strong and lovable", "brave and unyielding" in refutation of the words of the rich young ladies, arguing that she and Ning Zhiyi were true love and that others had no right to interfere in their relationship... and other such acts of resistance and bravery to protect love.
As the quarrel went on, the hot-tempered young lady would pour champagne on Chang Jiaer, making her look embarrassed. Then, at this time, Ning Shichu's younger brother would appear in time to "protect his wife" and scold the young lady who poured the wine for her vicious nature. He would insist that she apologize to Chang Jiaer. Then, the young lady would question him with a sad face, asking him why he would embarrass her for a lowly woman...
Ning Shichu knew what would happen next without much thought. She silently pulled Xi Ciming away from the scene and left the fun to her brother. She would not get involved.
Xi Ciming was inexplicably dragged away by his wife, and asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Who is antagonizing you?"
Ning Shichu nodded: "Yes, they and I have different auras, so it's not good for us to get together."
After hearing this, Xi Ciming wanted to take a closer look to find out who were the people who were against his wife so that he could avoid them in the future. Unexpectedly, when he looked, he saw Ning Zhiyi holding a girl's hand and yelling at her with a ferocious look on his face, and there was another indignant girl behind him.
"Isn't that your brother? What is he doing?" Xi Ciming asked in astonishment. He didn't have any deep impression of his brother-in-law Ning Zhiyi, but based on the few times he had met him, he thought he was a steady and smart man. But now he saw that he was so impulsive and irritable, and had no gentlemanly manners at all, roaring at a girl. This was not a sign of good upbringing.
Ning Shichu looked at it with great interest as if he was watching it from below, and replied: "Oh, he is fighting for love."
"What?" Xi Ciming thought he had misheard. He usually remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis, but now he had a dazed look on his face.
Ning Shichu looked at him lovingly, knowing that a straight man like him wouldn't understand his younger brother's impulsive behavior for love, so he explained: "I mean, my brother is seeking justice for the one he loves. Those young ladies bullied the one he likes, so shouldn't he stand up for his girlfriend?"
Xi Ciming finally understood, but still said in disbelief: "Your brother looked quite steady before, why does he look so irrational now? This is Mr. Ye's birthday party, it would not be good if something went wrong."
No matter how domineering and steady the male protagonist is, when he encounters things related to the female protagonist, he will not be able to be rational, but will rely entirely on emotions. If he is rational in everything, he will not be the male protagonist. However, Xi Ciming, who is too rational, does not understand this kind of thing.
Ning Shichu sighed, feeling as if "everyone in the world is drunk but I am sober alone".
"Should we go over and persuade him?" Xi Ciming asked. After all, Ning Zhiyi was his brother-in-law. If he made a scene at Mr. Ye's banquet, it would affect other people's views of him and the Ning family.
"No need, you can't persuade him. If you go over to persuade him, he will think that you are helping those rich girls to settle the matter peacefully and to make his girlfriend suffer. He might even blame you." Ning Shichu shook his head and refused.
Xi Ciming seemed to be shocked by Ning Shichu's words. It took him a long time to regain his expressionless face and said, "You don't seem to be worried about him?"
Ning Shichu was very frank: "I'm really not worried. He is an adult. He must know the consequences of any action. Why should I be a bad guy?"
Xi Ciming looked at her with some surprise. Although he was a workaholic and spent two-thirds of his day in the company, he knew that Ning Shichu used to attach great importance to his parents and younger brother. However, now, Ning Shichu seemed indifferent to his brother's affairs, which was a bit strange.
Ning Shichu let Xi Ciming look at her thoughtfully, not afraid at all. What could he see? Could he really see that his wife had a new soul?
As expected, Xi Ciming only looked at her inquiringly for a while, then he put aside his doubts and said, "Since you said you don't care, then don't care. By the way, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here too, right? Where are they now? Shall we go say hello?"
Ning Shichu nodded: "Okay."
But they didn't need to look for her, because as soon as she finished speaking, Ning's mother appeared and saw Ning Zhiyi arguing with those young ladies.
Ning's mother hurried forward to mediate: "Zhiyi, what are you doing? This is Mr. Ye's birthday party. Is there something you can't leave before talking about it?"
Ning Zhiyi was furious, his eyes were red, and he said, "No! They are arrogant and domineering, bullying Jiaer. I just asked them to apologize to Jiaer, but they refused. They also want me to keep quiet. Impossible!"
Mother Ning choked, looking at Ning Zhiyi with a horrified face, she could hardly believe that this was her gentle and refined son. She was anxious and worried, and seeing that she could not convince him, she immediately turned her attention to Chang Jiaer, and said to Chang Jiaer with an apologetic look on her face:
"Miss Chang, I know I have wronged you, but these ladies are all of extraordinary status. If Zhiyi offends them, he will be in a lot of trouble. You are so kind and considerate, you will definitely understand Zhiyi's difficulties and will not bear to see him get into trouble because of you, right?"
