Chapter 227: Pushing One’s Luck
Jiang Ning didn’t wait for Wei Jin’s reaction, trotting away and politely closing the door.
Wei Jin crumpled the note in his palm, tossing it indifferently into the trash can with a cold laugh: “Truly anyone tries to get close to me. Laixi, can’t you be of some use? Don’t let people like this in next time. The more you give her face, the more she takes advantage.”
Wei Jin sat on the sofa, crossing his long legs, reaching for the script. His face was very cold: “Go stand guard outside. Don’t let that person barge in again. Too lazy to deal with it.”
The male assistant Laixi nodded respectfully: “Yes, Teacher Wei. That woman is too vulgar and rude. It’s only because you saw her as pitiful and didn’t want to bother with her.”
Wei Jin lightly acknowledged: “Mm.”
Laixi went out.
After a few minutes.
Wei Jin finally got up and fished the note out from the trash can.
There was an address on it.
Mo Tong Road Ding Shi Guan Mei Xiang private room.
Time: this Saturday at 11 a.m.
Today was Thursday, so she set it for the day after tomorrow.
This restaurant mostly served authentic Sichuan cuisine.
Wei Jin pursed his lips tightly, tossing the note back into the trash can again.
……
Yuan Yuan waited obediently outside for Jiang Ning.
Not crying or fussing.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, she immediately ran up and grabbed her finger, tilting her head up with a sweet smile: “Auntie.”
Jiang Ning’s heart melted.
Human cubs were truly too cute.
Jiang Ning bent down to Yuan Yuan’s level, smiling as she asked: “How about I take you out to eat tonight?”
Since Xie Jingyan had sent the child support, it would be a real shame not to splurge on a meal with that 100,000.
Hearing about eating out, Yuan Yuan’s eyes lit up. She pursed her rosy little lips and leaned close to Jiang Ning, whispering: “Is it for small cake?”
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow, looking at her: “You want to eat cake?”
Yuan Yuan nodded her head: “Mm-hmm, because at home Daddy doesn’t let me eat too many sweet things.”
Jiang Ning smiled and agreed: “Okay, after I finish this afternoon’s work.”
At noon, Jiang Ning still ate lunch box.
She shared a small portion with Yuan Yuan.
Luckily, this little girl wasn’t picky about food; whatever Jiang Ning ate, she ate.
Her big eyes blinked curiously, taking in the surroundings.
Jiang Ning was shoveling food into her mouth when a pair of black long boots appeared in front of her.
Jiang Ning’s chewing stopped, her gaze traveling up the long legs, only seeing a pair of bright eyes.
Jiang Li…
Jiang Ning recognized her at a glance, even with the hat and mask, wearing a low-key black down jacket.
Jiang Ning asked: “Hello, who are you looking for? The director isn’t here.”
Jiang Li’s gaze deeply fixed on Jiang Ning’s face as she said: “I’m looking for you… Jiang Ning.”
Jiang Ning looked at her puzzled: “Ma’am, I’m not Jiang Ning. My name is Tan Qing.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning sincerely handed her work badge to Jiang Li to see.
Jiang Li was somewhat stunned…
Tan Qing?
How could that be.
This face in front of her was her sister Jiang Ning…
Yuan Yuan spoke up from the side in her childish voice: “My auntie is really called Tan Qing.”
Only then did Jiang Li notice Yuan Yuan, her eyes surprised. She pulled down her mask and called: “Yuan Yuan? Why are you here?”
Yuan Yuan’s eyes widened: “Great Aunt?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She looked at Yuan Yuan, then at Jiang Ning, and asked Yuan Yuan: “You call her auntie?”
Yuan Yuan nodded: “Yeah, Daddy told me to.”
Jiang Li pursed her lips, looking at Jiang Ning’s work badge, unwillingly asking: “You’re really not Jiang Ning?”
Jiang Ning shook her head: “No! I’m Tan Qing, from Wuzhen in Jiang City. You can check. Why does everyone who sees me call me Jiang Ning? She really looks just like me?”
Looks like…
More than just like.
This face resembled Jiang Ning by eighty percent.
But the temperament was completely different from her sister’s.
And this “Tan Qing”‘s eyes were exceptionally clear, clearly not lying.
Jiang Li felt like she was bewitched, lowering her head slightly: “Sorry, I mistook you.”
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, waving her hand quickly: “No problem, no problem. As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up. I wish you find the person you’re looking for soon.”
Jiang Li gave a bitter smile: “Can’t find her.”
Jiang Ning fell silent, not daring to respond.
Jiang Li took a deep breath: “She passed away.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She held back for a long time, squeezing out two words: “My condolences…”
Only then did Jiang Li squat down and ask Yuan Yuan: “Want to go play with Great Aunt? Great Aunt’s film crew is next door.”
Yuan Yuan shook her head while gnawing on a chicken leg, mumbling unclearly: “No want no want, I want to stay with Auntie.”
Jiang Li understood. Jiang Ning continued eating.
Jiang Li handed a business card to Jiang Ning: “Miss Tan Qing, just consider it making a friend. You can call this number if there’s anything.”
Jiang Ning didn’t refuse, accepting it: “Thank you.”
Jiang Li put her mask back on.
The female assistant behind her trotted up: “Sister Li, it’s your scene. Everyone’s waiting for you.”
Only then did Jiang Li leave with the female assistant. At the door, she turned back for another look at Jiang Ning.
Yuan Yuan said something to her.
She smiled gently and softly.
Jiang Li’s nose suddenly stung.
Silly Ning Ning.
How could sister not recognize her own sister?
But if she didn’t want to reunite, Jiang Li would wait until the day she was willing.
After coming out, Jiang Li thought for a moment and still sent a message to Jiang Yan.
[I saw Ning Ning.]
Jiang Yan replied almost instantly: [?]
Jiang Li: [She seems to have some unspeakable difficulty. Don’t go disturb her.]
……
At this time, Jiang Corporation building.
Jiang Yan’s phone screen lingered on Jiang Li’s chat for a long time.
His eyes were shocked.
He turned his head to look at a photograph on the desk.
No matter how carefully he preserved it, the photo was still somewhat yellowed.
His blurry memories gradually clarified.
Finally becoming the last scene of her gray memorial photo.
The person was dead… how could she come back…
But Jiang Yan’s heart was filled with hope that what Jiang Li said was true. Even if it was someone who looked extremely like Jiang Ning, he… could accept it.
He looked out at the high-rises beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, like a king overlooking his domain.
The reflection in the window showed a figure in a suit, impeccably straight, as if silently telling Jiang Yan.
The helpless boy who had nothing ten years ago, who couldn’t even find his own sister after the Jiang Family went bankrupt, had grown up.
His wings were full; he had enough strength to contend with the Huo Family. He feared no one.
If…
If he saw Jiang Ning again, he must tell her: Sister, I have the ability to protect you now.
Jiang Yan was still lost in thought when his phone buzzed, a name emerging on the screen.
Shen Jinhe: [Baby, I’m back in the country. Come out with sister today?]
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, his finger on the screen: [No.]
Shen Jinhe: [Don’t be so indifferent. One meal, my treat, okay?]
Jiang Yan expressionless: [No.]
Shen Jinhe: [..]
Shen Jinhe: [Kid, don’t refuse toast only to drink a forfeit. Forgot who promoted you a few years ago? Ungrateful wolf!]
Jiang Yan found her headache-inducing too.
He thought for a moment and replied: [Thank you.]
Shen Jinhe: […Fuck!]
