Chapter 088 How to Explain
Xu Ying is the only legitimate daughter of the Xu family. She grew up in admiration and flattery. In addition, she is also very beautiful, so she has always been treated like a star.
But she looked down on the young men she knew around her, and even thought the men from the Xinzhou families were not that good. This time, when she saw Xu Zhiyi for the first time, she was shocked by his handsomeness.
Xu Zhiyi was so handsome that he could be called gorgeous, with a noble status and extraordinary bearing. Coupled with his pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, Xu Ying was completely captivated by him.
She also knew that it was not decent for her to rush to find Xu Zhiyi, but she couldn't help herself. However, she didn't expect that Xu Zhiyi, who could flirt with a country woman with a smile, would be so ruthless to her.
After returning to the garden pavilion, Xu Ying took a long time to recover.
Across from her, Li Qingqing was sitting there peeling a pomegranate for the young lady, being very cautious and not daring to ask any more questions.
Just now, when Xu Ying saw Mr. Xu San, she ignored everything and flew away like a bird. When she came back, she had turned into a frost-bitten eggplant.
Although Li Qingqing followed her cousin Xu Ying, she was just a concubine, so she naturally didn't dare to ask too many questions.
At this moment, Xu Ying suddenly asked her, "That woman just now was Hua Yingxue's Chen Ning, right?"
Li Qingqing was peeling a pomegranate for Xu Ying. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Yes, that's Hua Yingxue's boss, Chen Ning."
Huayingxue is now much more famous in the backyard of the boudoir than Mi Ji. Everyone knows that the person who made these fragrant and useful things is called Chen Ning.
Xu Ying snorted and laughed: "She is indeed a frivolous and shameless widow, who can be slept with by anyone!"
That wanton widow was indeed born with a good appearance. If she came to the door for free, any normal man would definitely take advantage of her... Although Xu Zhiyi's hobbies were a bit special, but based on his face, that hobby was not intolerable!
But that lowly widow got the upper hand.
Seeing the hatred in Xu Ying's eyes, Li Qingqing immediately said, "That's right. I heard that she is trying to curry favor with the old lady and wants to marry Huang's cousin as her second wife."
Xu Ying became even more angry when she heard this: "What a lowly, shabby thing."
On the one hand, she is willing to be the second wife of that old gangster named Huang, and on the other hand, she is here trying to please Mr. Xu Sanye without knowing the consequences.
Don’t you see who you are? Is Mr. Xu San the one that a lowly creature like her deserves to be involved with?
Li Qingqing agreed without hesitation: "Who says it's not?"
Chen Ning was tricked by Xu Zhiyi, and although she tricked him back on the spot, she was still speechless.
Just because he was being harassed, he dragged her to annoy others... In the eyes of those so-called superiors, other people's lives and reputations are worthless.
Cursing and lifting the carriage curtain, Shen Ning was suddenly stunned: "Anan?"
Seeing Xiao Nanchen standing at the door, she subconsciously asked, "Why don't you go in?"
Xiao Nanchen's eyes flickered, and he coughed lightly: "Yeah, I was just about to go in."
It had been a long time since he last said he was busy and he hadn't come back. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Nanchen felt strangely nervous.
Especially when he saw Shen Ning, he couldn't help but think of what happened in Hai City.
Over the past few days, while His Royal Highness Prince Ding was busy with official business, he spent almost all his time competing with himself.
He firmly believed that he was not a beast and it was impossible for him to have any feelings for Shen Ning...but he was also very clearly aware that he might really be a beast.
Self-deception cannot last long.
Well, he admitted that he wanted to see Shen Ning.
He also admitted that he might be... probably, really a beast.
After recognizing his own heart, His Royal Highness Prince Ding seemed to be relieved, but also seemed to be more uneasy. After all, Shen Ning was just a little woman, and no matter how absurd she was, it was understandable, but he was different.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding was also a little depressed.
He had restrained himself... He swore, he had really restrained himself.
But she loved him so much, and he... couldn't resist.
When he walked into the door, Xiao Nanchen felt numb and had given up on himself and resistance.
The first thing Shen Ning felt when she saw Xiao Nanchen was joy, but then she thought of Hai Shi's affairs and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Xiao Nanchen seemed to be quite normal.
With his hot temper, if he really cared about it, he might get angry with her again... Now he doesn't even mention it, I think he understands that she had no choice but to do it after being ambushed by someone.
If no one mentions it and pretends it never happened, it won’t be embarrassing.
This is probably a tacit understanding between adults...
Thinking of this, Shen Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression returned to normal. As he walked in with Xiao Nanchen, he thought that Shen Qingbai had not returned for several days, so he asked someone to go to the county school to pick up Shen Qingbai and come back for a meal together.
Coincidentally, Shen Qingbai had a day off today, and the person who went to the county school to pick him up had not left yet. He came back by himself and called out "sister" as soon as he entered the yard.
Shen Ning smiled and stood up to greet him: “Such a loud noise, why are you getting less and less stable as you grow older.”
The young man walked over quickly with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you, sister."
Siyue, who was taciturn, said quietly, "Young Master, it's been a long time since you've laughed like this."
Shen Ning was shocked for a moment: "Where did you learn this?"
Siyue's face was full of question marks. Shen Ning suppressed her laughter and waved her hand to let him go out: "Yuanyue has something good for you. Go ask Big Brother for it yourself."
April turned around and ran away.
Shen Qingbai's health improved day by day, and he hardly showed any signs of weakness as before, except for a slight bluish tinge under his eyes. Seeing Xiao Nanchen in the room, he was a little surprised: "Brother Anan is back too."
"Yeah, I just walked in too."
Xiao Nanchen stood up and walked a few steps closer. He looked Shen Qingbai up and down, raised his eyebrows and hit his shoulder: "Not bad, you've become stronger."
Shen Qingbai covered his shoulder and begged for mercy helplessly: "Brother Anan, I'm afraid I can't bear your punch, please take it easy and don't beat me up so hard that I vomit."
Shen Ning laughed: "Come on, you thought I didn't know you were secretly practicing martial arts with Siyue."
Shen Qingbai was a little embarrassed: "That can't be considered martial arts training, at most it's to strengthen my body."
Xiao Nanchen nodded: "It's a good thing to practice more... Is the workload too heavy? You're all bruised right now."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "I can't persuade him, he's almost immersed in the book."
Shen Qingbai was helpless: "I go to bed on time, but I work harder during the day. I don't know what's wrong with my eyes."
"My spleen and stomach are not feeling well."
Chen Ning said, "I asked July to prepare some food and soup that will nourish the spleen and stomach. The soup is roasted and can be mixed with boiling water. You can take it back to the county school."
Shen Qingbai smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Qingbai was in poor health, so Shen Ning would have people send him some good things every two days. Since there were other people in the same dormitory, she would deliberately send more. Now, Shen Ning was called "our sister" in the eyes of Shen Qingbai's roommates.
Even Duan Xuguang, who had ridiculed Shen Qingbai the first time they met, now called him "Qingbai, Brother Bai".
After all, the Duan family made a lot of money by relying on the ice-making recipe sold to them by Shen Ning. Duan Qizheng gave up other thoughts and now respects Shen Ning. Duan Xuguang also became much more honest after being warned. Later, when he saw that Shen Qingbai and Pei Yuanzhou were equally talented, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Qingbai smiled, revealing a rare bit of youthfulness: "My classmates all envy me for having a good sister."
Chen Ning waved her hand: "Stop talking nonsense there. Remember to rest early next time. Don't look back and hurt your eyes..."
After dinner, April drove Shen Qingbai back to the county school.
Now Siyue stays with Shen Qingbai as a servant, taking care of all matters concerning Shen Qingbai. Although this young man may seem inconspicuous, he is extremely prudent in his work, which relieves Shen Ning of a lot of worries.
After Shen Qingbai left, the maid brought a pot of tea to help digestion. Shen Ning poured a cup for Xiao Nanchen: "Drink some. We had too much meat and vegetables for dinner just now, and it's late. It won't be good for your health if you go to bed directly later."
Xiao Nanchen nodded, lowered his eyes and drank tea, as if he had something on his mind.
Shen Ning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. She asked tentatively, "Anan, are you okay?"
Xiao Nanchen immediately looked up: "No!"
He definitely has no guilty conscience!
Chen Ning inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so she deliberately joked: "Then why don't you say anything? You seem quite polite. I feel like laughing when you do this..."
Xiao Nanchen looked helpless, and Shen Ning finally smiled.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, coughed lightly, and suppressed her smile. She slowly sat up straight and straightened her face: "If you are okay, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Nanchen also restrained his expression: "What's the matter?"
Shen Ning said slowly: "From now on, don't call me sister-in-law."
With a loud bang, Xiao Nanchen's head exploded.
Did she know?
She found out that it was him who molested her in Haishi that night!
How should he deal with this now? How should he explain it? Will she listen?
