Miao Xin bit her lip in frustration. She had already found out that Jian Ning lived on the sixteenth floor of this building, but she really didn't know the exact room number. It seemed that she could only try each room one by one.
Just as he was about to help Jian Ning turn around, the door to room 1603 suddenly opened.
"What do you need?" The clear, cool voice was like pearls clashing together. It was excessively pleasant to hear.
Miao Xin stared blankly at the incredibly handsome face in front of her, speechless for a long time.
Xiao Lingfeng frowned. He recognized the drunkard, who was being supported by the girl and could barely stand, as his neighbor. He had encountered him in the neighborhood more than once.
"I'm sorry, I was taking a friend home, and she had too much to drink." Miao Xin realized what was happening and quickly apologized.
“It’s alright, 1602 is her home.” Xiao Lingfeng said, then slammed the door shut.
"Who is this person? They have such a handsome face, but it's all for nothing."
"I never expected you to be so lucky with men, you brat! This guy is a thousand times better than Li Mingxuan. No wonder you dumped him. I'd choose him too."
Miao Xin muttered something under her breath. She helped Jian Ning to the door of room 1602. She took out her access card, but it wouldn't open no matter how she swiped it. She then tried the password. Both attempts were incorrect.
What's going on? She was sweating profusely with anxiety, and the jade pendant was almost in her grasp. Why was the door working against her? She simply tossed Jian Ning aside and focused on unlocking the door.
They didn't even see Jian Ning leaning against the wall, a slight smile curving her lips.
"Ningning, what's wrong with you?"
Li Mengyao came out of the house carrying a bag of trash and was startled to see Jian Ning slumped on the ground. She dropped the trash bag and ran over quickly.
"Who are you?" Miao Xin didn't bother to open the door again, turned around, forced a smile and asked Li Mengyao.
"I'm Jian Ning's sister-in-law. You must be her classmate? Did you faint or did you drink too much?" Li Mengyao smelled a faint scent of alcohol on Jian Ning. She tried to help her stand up, but couldn't move her.
"She drank too much. I brought her back, but why can't you open the door, sister-in-law?" Miao Xin quickly came over to help Jian Ning up and asked with a smile.
"Oh, these doors are all password protected. I don't know what they are either."
There are several doors, and the passwords are all different, so you'd better not bother. Help me to my house." Li Mengyao said, helping Jian Ning walk towards 1601.
Miao Xin had no choice but to help, and she was so angry that her face turned red as she watched the duck that was about to be in her hand fly away.
There was no other way. I didn't hear that woman say that Jian Ning installed three or four security doors. Does she own a mine or have she lost her mind? No normal person would do something like that.
No, could it be that Jian Ning in the present is also a transmigrator from a book?
Knowing everything that would happen in the future, that's why they did something so incomprehensible.
Including that jade pendant, she must have already discovered the spatial dimension. Otherwise, she wouldn't have refused to give it to me no matter how much I asked! No wonder she suddenly changed so much.
Thinking of this, Miao Xin broke out in a cold sweat. She helped Jian Ning to the door of 1601, said goodbye to Li Mengyao, and then turned and ran downstairs, not even waiting for the elevator.
"Hey, this classmate is quite interesting. What's she rushing off to?" Li Mengyao glanced curiously in the direction Miao Xin had run off to. Turning back, she met Jian Ning's clear eyes, who was already standing up straight.
"Oh my, Ningning, you startled me! You're not drunk?"
"No, I wasn't drunk. That person just drugged me. I just wanted to see what she was up to," Jian Ning said softly, stepping into the house.
"I just saw her using her key card to open your door. Was she trying to steal something? Isn't she your friend?" Li Mengyao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No, I have no friends in this world, sister-in-law. From now on, I will only have you and my brother as my family."
As Jian Ning spoke, she went inside to the kitchen refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, and drank it all in one gulp. It was so hot, and she was extremely dehydrated.
"What kind of medicine did she give you? Will it have any effect on your health? Come on, let's go to the hospital for a checkup." Li Mengyao wasn't as calm as Jian Ning. She picked up her handbag and dragged her to the hospital.
"Sister-in-law, it's alright. I didn't drink that medicine. I was just pretending. I just wanted to see what she was up to. It's a pity you came out too early. She had to run away because you caught her."
Jian Ning felt that Miao Xin was somewhat lucky. If she had actually opened the door, entered the house, and stolen the jade pendant, she would have definitely called the police and had her arrested. What a pity.
"You really didn't drink it? You scared me, girl. Stay away from people like that in the future. If she doesn't achieve her goal, she'll definitely try to scheme against you again. She won't drug you for no reason."
"Okay, I understand. Sister-in-law, why isn't my brother home again?"
"His old friends asked him to open a cold drink shop together."
I think business is tough for brick-and-mortar stores these days. Who wants to go shopping in this heat? But your brother wouldn't listen, so he went out tonight to look at the shops together.
“My brother has money but doesn’t know what to do with it. When he comes back, I’ll talk to him and tell him to stay home for a few days. If he wants to open a shop, wait until after your wedding, when the weather is cooler, then think about doing business.”
"That's what I was thinking too, Ningning. Have you booked the hotel yet? Do you need to pay a deposit or something?" This is a big deal. When we print the invitations, we need to confirm the hotel first.
"My classmate said he would go home and ask, but he hasn't given me a reply yet. There are a lot of people getting married in October."
There are definitely a lot of reservations, but don't worry, we'll definitely be able to reserve a table. When my brother gets back in a bit, sister-in-law, could you have him go over there? I'm going back to my room now.
Jian Ning grabbed her bag and hurried home. She had actually drunk the beverage. Although she used her spiritual power to neutralize much of it, some residue remained.
She felt sleepy and could barely keep her eyelids open. The main problem was that her body was so weak; it was nothing like her former self.
She went back to her room and fell asleep immediately. When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day. She had no idea how much medicine Miao Xin had given her. She was really ruthless.
"With you by my side, I can fly freely!" The phone rang again. Jian Ning picked it up and saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from Jian Anping and Li Mengyao.
"elder brother,"
"You still know how to answer the phone? What are you doing? You haven't answered the phone since last night, and you won't open the door when I knock. If you don't answer, I'm going to break in."
As soon as I answered the phone, I was startled by Jian Anping's loud shout.
"Brother, keep your voice down. You're making such a racket and giving me a headache. I was asleep and didn't hear you. Do you have any food at home? I'll wash up and come over."
Jian Ning rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, stretched, and when she heard someone on the other end of the phone say that there was food, she quickly hung up and got up to wash up.
Li Mengyao cooked four dishes for lunch: sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried bok choy, braised mackerel, and a cold vegetable salad. To prepare for her wedding day, she now skips staple foods and only eats vegetables for lunch.
