Chapter 305: In a Good Mood, Giving Away a House
CHAPTER 305: CHAPTER 305: IN A GOOD MOOD, GIVING AWAY A HOUSE
Wu Taotao was gnawing on chicken feet when suddenly, the chicken feet in her hands didn’t taste good anymore.
She looked at Ye Ningwan: "Is it true what they said? Leng Ziqing is getting married?"
Ye Ningwan silently sighed in her heart.
On the way there, she had already drafted numerous backup plans in her mind, thinking about how to hide this from her.
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t even used one, and it was exposed so quickly.
But come to think of it, the marriage between Leng Ziqing and Zhang Meimei, such a powerful family alliance, is bound to be the talk of Jiangcheng’s social circles.
So trying to hide it was nearly impossible.
"Yeah, I only found out when I saw the invitation today."
"Forget it, it doesn’t have anything to do with me anyway." Wu Taotao continued gnawing on the chicken feet.
But they didn’t taste as joyful as before.
Ye Ningwan and Ye Shao exchanged a glance.
Ye Shao stood up: "I’m going to the restroom."
Ye Ningwan nodded, and as soon as he left, she said to Wu Taotao: "Don’t be too upset, about you and Leng Ziqing... I guess it’s just not meant to be! Actually, look around at the people around you, isn’t our Ye Shao quite good? If you think he’s poor, it’s okay. Once he graduates from college, I’ll let him strive hard and ask Zhan Hanjue to give him a chance to start a business, he’ll be no less than Leng Ziqing."
"He’s not worse than him now either. I’m not upset, Ningning, don’t overthink. It’s just a bit emotional, and besides, how old is Ye Shao, still a kid. Don’t make me look at him, it’ll scare the kid."
"Whether he’s a kid or not, you know it in your heart. Don’t pretend you don’t understand his feelings for you." Ye Ningwan pursed her lips.
Wu Taotao remained silent.
She of course knew about Ye Shao’s feelings.
Otherwise, why would he accompany her in the countryside for so long for no reason?
But she really couldn’t accept Ye Shao.
At least not now.
She hasn’t recovered from the hurt of the last relationship, so how could she accept someone else.
What’s more, she’s scared.
Back then, she liked Leng Ziqing without hesitation, thinking that Leng Ziqing would feel the same way.
But Leng Ziqing’s betrayal made her afraid of love.
Ye Shao is still young, who can guarantee it’s not just a novelty for him.
"Anyway, he’s a kid in my eyes, don’t say anymore." Wu Taotao murmured softly.
Seeing her so resistant, Ye Ningwan didn’t say anything more.
Soon, Ye Shao returned and asked them, "Are you done eating?"
Ye Ningwan nodded: "Yes, we are, I’ll go pay the bill."
"No need, I’ve already paid." Ye Shao said.
Ye Ningwan and Wu Taotao looked at him in surprise.
This kid is too considerate. He paid the bill so quickly.
Evidently, he went out just now not to the restroom, but to pay the bill.
"Promising child." Ye Ningwan gave him a thumbs-up.
She didn’t even stand on ceremony with him.
He’s her own younger brother, to be polite would be too formal.
The three of them prepared to leave, unexpectedly Zhan Hanjue came over.
Zhan Hanjue originally called Ye Ningwan, but she didn’t hear.
He then called the driver and found out they were dining here.
So he drove over, coincidentally meeting them after their meal.
"Brother-in-law."
Ye Shao greeted Zhan Hanjue.
Although he didn’t like him much, since his sister chose him, he still greeted him politely.
That "brother-in-law" made Zhan Hanjue feel quite cheerful.
Upon hearing that Wu Taotao and Ye Shao had nowhere to stay, intending to stay at a hotel first before finding a place to rent, he generously offered them a vacant apartment.
"Consider it a present for meeting you, I’ll have Wu bring the keys over in a bit."
"What kind of meeting gift, it’s not the first time we’ve met." Wu Taotao muttered.
The landlord had already taken back the house she previously rented.
So she had nowhere to stay at the moment.
She planned to stay at a hotel for a couple of days while slowly finding a suitable place.
Ye Shao could go back with Ye Ningwan, but she felt shy about staying at the Zhan Family’s.
If Ye Ningwan had married an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have hesitated.
But not the Zhan Family, it would seem like she’s associating with influential people, making the Zhan Family look down on Ye Ningwan.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Hanjue generously offered the apartment.
She naturally refused.
But Ye Ningwan said: "If it’s given, just take it. You have nowhere to stay, consider it a temporary residence."
Wu soon came over and handed over the keys.
Ye Shao accepted them without hesitation and left with Wu Taotao.
Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan also went home.
In the middle of the night, the Feng Family called Ye Ningwan, saying Mr. Feng’s surgery was successful and thanking her.
"Next time, check the time before thanking."
Zhan Hanjue hung up the phone very angrily.
The next day, Ye Ningwan still went to the hospital to check on Mr. Feng’s condition.
Fortunately, Zhang Meimei’s family wasn’t there.
Feng Jiuzun’s parents were also there, upon seeing Ye Ningwan in person, they finally understood why their son was so infatuated.
But she’s already married, so being infatuated is useless.
Finding out that Ye Ningwan saved their father, they all expressed their gratitude.
Owing to Zhan Hanjue’s sensitive identity, he didn’t come over, avoiding Feng Qianru’s father.
Ye Ningwan smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I’m a doctor too, curing and saving people is my duty. If you insist on thanking me, why not let Feng Jiuzun return my belongings to me."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng Er immediately called Feng Jiuzun over: "What did you take from her? Hurry and give it back. You’re an adult, and you take things from others, do you think you’re an elementary school student?"
"I didn’t take anything, I got that through my own abilities." Feng Jiuzun shouted.
Ye Ningwan showed a sorrowful expression: "But that’s mine, a relic left by my late mentor."
"How could you even covet someone’s mentor’s relic, shameless." Feng Jiuzun’s mother scolded angrily, feeling utterly disgraced by him.
Feng Jiuzun: "..."
"Miss Ye, here is your item, and I truly apologize. Our Feng Family’s disrespectful child has upset you." Feng Huai came over and handed a brocade box to Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan opened it and saw that it was indeed half a jade pendant.
Overjoyed, she quickly thanked Feng Huai: "Thank you, Mr. Feng."
Feng Jiuzun widened his eyes: "Uncle, how could you secretly take my thing?"
"What’s yours? It’s hers, besides, anything at the Feng Family’s I have the right to inspect, how could it be called secretly taken?" Feng Huai said confidently.
Feng Jiuzun’s eyes turned red with anger.
He turned and ran away.
But no one cared about him, a grown man, what could he do?
Even if he runs away from home, there’s nothing to worry about.
Ye Ningwan also took out some of the prescription and medicines she had prepared for Mr. Feng.
"These are all conditioning medicines. If you don’t trust me, you can have a doctor look at them. I hope they can help Mr. Feng’s recovery, if effective, attending the wedding shouldn’t be an issue."
"Thank you, thank you." Feng Huai and others were full of gratitude.
Ye Ningwan left, passing by the hospital’s garden, she saw Feng Jiuzun sitting alone on a bench sulking.
She initially wanted to go over and say something, but after thinking about it, she let it be.
To avoid misunderstanding him, she pretended not to see him and left directly.
