Her black hair was draped behind her head like silk, and she was wearing a short top with lantern sleeves that showed her shoulders. A large string of sparkling necklaces hung around her slender and smooth neck. She was wearing a bright red short skirt and fish-mouth high-heeled shoes of the same color as the skirt. Her long, straight legs were covered with black stockings.

In Shen Mingzhu's opinion, this outfit is a bit tacky, but for this era, it is quite fashionable and you will definitely get 100% attention when walking on the street.

"Why are you here?"

Ning Yuan became unhappy as soon as he saw the young girl.

"Aunt Jing asked me to come."

Zhuang Xueqi answered with some pride, her fox-like eyes swirling around Shen Mingzhu, her voice crisp and tender, "Who are you? What were you talking about just now? You were talking so excitedly."

Zhuang Xueqi's hostility was too obvious, which made Shen Mingzhu speculate about her identity.

"Hello, my last name is Shen, and I'm here today to ask Mr. Ning to choose the style of wedding candy."

Zhuang Xueqi glanced at the candy gift box on the coffee table, casually put her handbag on the sofa, and sat down next to Ning Yuan with her skirt brushed.

Ning Yuan moved to the side with disgust.

Zhuang Xueqi leaned over and sneered, "We've already slept together, why are you pretending to be unfamiliar with each other?"

Ning Yuan looked constipated, "As a woman, can you be more reserved?"

Zhuang Xueqi glared, "No!"

Shen Mingzhu's gossipy eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

Perhaps because he didn't want Shen Mingzhu to laugh at him, Ning Yuan ignored Zhuang Xueqi and pointed to the candy on the paper box and said, "This is it. I'll ask the butler to give you the number of guests later."

Zhuang Xueqi interrupted, "No, I don't like this."

Now that she knew the other party's identity, Shen Mingzhu adhered to the concept that customers are God and enthusiastically promoted: "I personally recommend this Yunjin handbag. After eating the wedding candy, the handbag can be used as a coin purse."

"You're just a piece of crap." Zhuang Xueqi folded her hands and rolled her eyes.

Shen Mingzhu introduced the remaining one, "This gift box adopts a heart-shaped design, which means eternal love, and it has a pearlescent paint surface. It will show a pearly luster under the light, which is very high-end."

"It's still very rustic. Is there nothing better?"

After saying that, he turned around and dissed Ning Yuan, "I don't know what kind of taste you have. You can even appreciate something this tacky."

Ning Yuan retorted, "You are quite self-aware. You know that you are so unsophisticated."

"you……"

As a woman, Shen Mingzhu could naturally sense the source of Zhuang Xueqi's hostility towards her, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Ning, and this beautiful young lady, I'm really sorry, I have to go back to take care of the children. How about this, leave the things here first, and you two can discuss it carefully. I'll think about other styles of design when I go back."

Zhuang Xueqi looked at her, seeming a little surprised, "You have a child?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "To be honest, my son is already in the third grade this year, and my daughter is only two months old. Young Master Ning came to celebrate her birth a few days ago."

Shen Mingzhu could clearly feel that after learning that she had a son and a daughter, Zhuang Xueqi's hostility and targeting instantly disappeared.

"I suddenly think this brocade handbag is pretty good. Although the design is a bit tacky, it's quite pleasing to the eye after a few more glances. Let's take this one."

"Okay, may I ask your name, beautiful lady?"

"My last name is Zhuang."

"Ms. Zhuang, as for the style, it must be a Yunjin handbag. You can take a look at the types of wedding candies, especially this kind of chocolate with a wine center. It is different from the ordinary red wine center. I specially used Maotai, and I guarantee that it is the first of its kind in China."

Sure enough, upon hearing that the chocolate with liquor filling was made with Moutai liquor, Zhuang Xueqi also tried one with interest.

Finally, Zhuang Xueqi not only decided on the style of the wedding candy gift box, but also ordered ten kilograms of chocolate with wine filling from Shen Mingzhu to prepare for the party.

Shen Mingzhu came here by taxi and originally planned to walk down the mountain and take the bus back, but Ning Yuan suggested arranging for a driver to take her back, and she did not refuse, after all, it was quite tiring to walk down the mountain.

But the driver went down the mountain to get something, so we have to wait for about ten minutes.

During the chat, Zhuang Xueqi curiously inquired about Shen Mingzhu's age. After all, Shen Mingzhu looked not much different from her, and her son was already in the third grade.

She was very curious about Shen Mingzhu's beauty secrets.

After learning that Shen Mingzhu was a stepmother, Zhuang Xueqi did not show the slightest disgust or contempt.

Although Yan Jing is already in her early forties, she looks very young and has a strong aura. It is a sense of nobility that comes from the bottom of her heart, not the kind of arrogance that only appears on the surface.

His eyes swept across Shen Mingzhu, indifferently and disdainfully.

The voice had a jade-like coolness, "Sit down."

The spoiled Zhuang Xueqi was as obedient as a puppet in front of Yan Jing, "Aunt Jing, this is the wedding candy gift box we chose, what do you think?"

Yan Jing took it, looked at it, and nodded, "Not bad."

Ning Yuan was not willing to be outdone. He took out a chocolate with liquor filling from the wedding candy box and handed it over. "Mom, try this. It's a Moutai chocolate with liquor filling."

Yan Jing glanced at him and said, "I don't eat sweets."

Ning Yuan choked, "My friend is here, please give me some face and have a taste."

Yan Jing glanced at Shen Mingzhu and took the chocolate.

"How about it?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"good."

Yan Jing took just one bite and put it down, with no expression of joy or anger on her face.

Although the other party never said a single unpleasant word from beginning to end, nor gave any bad looks or glances, there was a kind of aura emanating from him that made people feel depressed and uneasy.

Maybe it was the so-called aura of a superior? Fortunately, the driver came back soon.

Shen Mingzhu politely stood up and said goodbye.

Yan Jing politely told the housekeeper to send her out, then retracted her gaze and turned to let Zhuang Xueqi play by herself for a while while she took her son upstairs to talk.

"Mom, can you please stop asking Zhuang Xueqi to come over all the time? I'm fed up with her!"

As soon as he got upstairs, Ning Yuan couldn't help but complain to Yan Jing.

"No matter how annoying it is, you have to bear it. The Ning family and the Zhuang family have jointly invested a billion infrastructure project in Country Y. If you ruin it, your father will definitely expose your skin."

Yan Jing spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if she was talking about today's weather, but Ning Yuan felt his scalp tighten.

"So when will this project be completed?"

"About ten years."

“…”

After ten years, wouldn't he be in his thirties? ! "Think about it from another angle. Isn't it a good deal for a loser like you to lie down for ten years and get hundreds of millions of pounds in return?"

Ning Yuan: “…”

Yan Jing asked him to come up not for such trivial matters.

She warned her son with a smile, "I don't care how you play, but if you dare to reach out to other people's families, I promise to break your third leg."

"How dare I? If I dare to have any thoughts about her, my uncle will kill me without you having to do anything."

"Xiao Yi knows her?"

Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Ning Yuan quickly laughed it off and said, "I've met him a few times. My aunt also knows him. We went to her daughter's full moon banquet together a few days ago. Her daughter is very cute."

Yan Jing seemed to be thinking about something. "The friend who opened a snack shop that your aunt mentioned before is her."

Affirmative tone.

Ning Yuan nodded, and fearing that he would say something wrong again, he quickly slipped back to his room under the pretext of changing clothes.

Yan Jing didn't think too deeply about it. She just thought that Yan Yi knew Shen Mingzhu because of Yan Su, and she had a better impression of Shen Mingzhu in her heart.

She was a little curious about how a woman could be recognized by her sister, brother, and her own son at the same time.
