The housekeeper came to deliver snacks.
The people inside seemed calm, and the unfamiliar woman was still smiling at her.
She shook her head. Had she misheard?
"Madam, this is the menu for tonight. Please see if there's anything else you'd like to order and have it brought up."
Jing Weiyang took the menu and glanced at it. Several of her favorite dishes were on it. She nodded and said, "That's fine."
The housekeeper nodded and left.
Jing Weiyang turned around and saw the Ning family mother and daughter staring blankly at their aunt's departing figure. Her eyes flickered, and a wicked thought arose in her mind:
"Would you two like to stay for a meal?"
Mrs. Ning wanted to refuse; it was already inappropriate for them to come without prior notice, and inviting them to stay for dinner seemed a bit much...
Unexpectedly, Ning Luoyao spoke first, before her mother could: "Is Brother Yu here?"
Jing Weiyang's smile deepened: "Of course he's not here. After all, we had a fight recently, and he hasn't been back for a long time."
quarrel?
Ning Luoyao and Mrs. Ning exchanged a glance, both shocked. Why was Jing Weiyang telling them this?
Jing Weiyang, of course, wouldn't explain to them. After leaving behind this misleading remark, she also got up.
"I'm a little tired and I'm going upstairs to rest. If you want to have dinner with me, you can rest here for a while."
Jing Weiyang then went upstairs, leaving the Ning mother and daughter looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Do you think what she said is true or false?" Mrs. Ning frowned in thought.
Ning Luoyao didn't speak, but her expression clearly showed that she was also thinking.
Just then, the housekeeper returned, carrying a beautiful glass teapot, to refill their water.
Mrs. Ning's eyes lit up. "Jing... your wife, my Xiao Yang, how's your relationship with Mr. Shen lately?"
The housekeeper paused for a moment, looking at the two with a hint of wariness: "Madam and husband have a very good relationship, why are you asking?"
Mrs. Ning frowned. So that brat was playing tricks on them again?
Ning Luoyao spoke gently, "Auntie, please don't misunderstand. My sister... has some misunderstandings with the family and hasn't contacted us for a long time. We're all very worried about her. She just said that she had a conflict with Brother Yu, and we wanted to know if there's anything we can do to help."
Ning Luoyao's appearance already bore a resemblance to Jing Weiyang, and coupled with her genuinely worried eyes, the housekeeper clearly believed her, but didn't reveal too much:
"You don't need to worry about that. The husband and wife have a very good relationship, and the husband dotes on his wife. It's just that the husband seems to be very busy with work these days and hasn't been home much. I believe he will be back in a few days."
"Yes, really?" Ning Luoyao had expected to hear news of the two arguing, but upon hearing this instead, she could barely keep her smile going.
"Alright, you can go now, we're leaving too."
Mrs. Ning was also not very happy. She waved for the housekeeper to leave and then walked out with Ning Luoyao.
The aunt frowned. Were these two really the lady's family? They didn't give off a good impression at all.
The door closed, and Ning Luoyao's face darkened completely. "Mom, this woman is nothing like what you described."
Cowardly and timid?
Haha, are you guys really talking about the same person?
"What's different?" Mrs. Ning didn't understand what her daughter was saying for a moment, but that didn't stop her from complaining:
"It's all your fault for being so foolish! Why did you have to run away from the marriage? You let that brat get away with so much! If you had been the one who married into the Shen family, your mother would have been living a life of luxury. Instead, I'm still suffering from that brat's temper!"
"Or is it that she was actually faking it from the beginning to gain your trust?"
Ning Luoyao suddenly grabbed Mrs. Ning's arm, her eyes reddening, and her crazed gaze startled Mrs. Ning, who hurriedly said:
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
"Mom, don't worry," just as Mrs. Ning was worrying, Ning Luoyao seemed to have figured something out, looked up at her, and her gaze was unwavering:
"I will definitely get back what is rightfully mine!"
Mrs. Ning was initially pleased: "Great, I'll definitely support you with this idea," but then she frowned:
"It's not that simple! Didn't you hear that brat say she and Shen Yu have a great relationship? What if..."
"There's no 'what if'!" Ning Luoyao abruptly interrupted her: "Brother Yu will definitely be mine!"
