sure to talk to someone who gets things done.”A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes: "Unlike your father, who drove his business to the point of annihilation, you mustn't follow in his footsteps....Just like now, Mr. Ning and his companions are walking in the front, while Ning Shu only has to follow behind.

Even if others saw him as a junior member, they wouldn't take him seriously.

After all, the Ning family was inconspicuous at this banquet, and Ning Shu, as a illegitimate child, might not even be heard of by others.

Have someone deliver the gift.

Mr. Ning saw that the business magnates were all gathered in front of the head of the Jin family, and he was moved. He confidently walked over and said, "Let's go greet Head Jin first. By the way, where is Qingqing"

Níng jiāo lǎo èr shuō: "Qīng qīng zhè huì shì yīng gēn Jìn chéng zài yī qǐ ba, bā, bù yòng guǎn tā." Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Upon hearing this, Old Master Ning didn't pay much attention.

After all, he had told her before to get along well with Jin Cheng.

Then several people were about to step forward.

But he was stopped by the head of the Jìn household's assistant: "Several, Mr. Jìn is not very convenient now."

Because Ning Shu was trailing behind the group, the assistant couldn't see him. He just didn't understand why President Jin had invited someone from the Ning family. Although the Ning family was wealthy, they were far from being on par with the Jin family.

But after all, this was arranged by Mr. Jin, and as his assistant, Mr. Jin naturally has his own considerations. Perhaps there is still a lot of development potential in the Ning family in the future.

Mr. Ning, being stopped, was naturally displeased.

After all, they were invited by the head of the Jin family, and this assistant doesn't seem to have any discernment.

Then, after a moment's pause, he said, "We received an invitation from the head of the Jin family, so we came to attend the banquet."

The assistant thought it was funny.

It's just someone under Mr. Jin's command who handled it. Mr. Jin wouldn't do these things himself. Besides, many people who received the invitation went, what does a mere Ning family amount to

So he politely but without revealing anything said, "Mr. Jin still has some people to entertain, please wait a moment everyone."

Mr. Ning tapped his cane, though a little dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything about it.

As soon as the assistant turned away, he glared at Ning Shu, venting all his anger on this unlikeable grandson: "What are you doing standing here Your cousin knows how to bring connections for the Ning family at a banquet. How many classmates do you know from university And how many of them could help the Ning family"

Ning's original intention wasn't to follow them, so she turned and left.

While Ning Qing looked at Jin Baiyan for a long time.

Her ears turned red involuntarily, and her heart beat faster for no apparent reason.

"Ah Cheng, your uncle is really handsome..."

Although Jin Cheng was a bit displeased, this man was after all Jin Baiyan. He was his uncle, and if he told others about it, they would give him some face because of his uncle.

Although he wasn't particularly close to his uncle.

But after all, they are related by blood.

"Then he said, 'My uncle turned thirty-four just after his birthday. You wouldn't be able to tell, would you'"

Ning Qing nodded, her eyes unable to leave him: "Indeed."

Jin Baiyan's mature temperament, and that noble handsomeness. There is no second one like him present. His tall and slender figure proportions look particularly charming.

Ning Qing looked for a while, and suddenly felt that Jin Cheng wasn't so handsome anymore.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Why can't the nephew inherit his uncle's excellent genes, even though they both share the surname Jin

To be honest, Jin Cheng is actually quite good-looking, and on top of that, he comes from a wealthy family. So there are more people who come knocking on his door, and when he was in school, quite a few girls confessed their feelings to him.

This was just Ning Qing's first time meeting the head of the Jin family, and after making a comparison in her heart, she inevitably felt a sense of disappointment.

He was even thinking, the head of the Jin family is so handsome at this age.

If I were younger, I would be even more charming.

"Hearing Ning Qing ask like that, Jin Cheng naturally had a hint of pride in his voice: "Of course. My uncle was very popular when he was young. There were always girls lining up to date him. He won countless trophies during his school days... Let alone back then, even now there are countless men and women who want to be with him."

Ning Qing saw Jin Baiyan turn around, revealing a pair of long legs.

The left wrist was visible, very pale.

That's the physique and charisma of a mature man.

He hurriedly took Jin Cheng's hand and said, "Acheng, you've been here for so long, don't you even greet your uncle"

Then Jin Cheng took Ning Qing to see his uncle.

After all, no matter how distant.

Jin Baiyan wouldn't miss seeing this nephew.

"Happy birthday, uncle."

Jin Cheng handed the prepared gift upwards. The assistant took it and said, "Thank you, Young Master Jin, for the gift. I'll keep it for Mr. Jin first."

Of course, he was unhappy about it in his heart, but this assistant had been with his uncle for so long, even if he was unhappy, he couldn't say anything.

So he began to brag about how long he had spent choosing this gift.

Jin Cheng really went all out this time. After all, he was representing his family elders' way of showing favor, and he bought such a precious thing at great expense.

But Jin Baiyan didn't seem interested in looking. He just asked him two questions lightly.

I wanted to get rid of him.

Ning Qing quickly passed over the prepared items, her tone cheerful: "Uncle Jin, I'm Acheng's friend. This is a gift for you."

Jin Baiyan glanced at him, his gaze lingering on his eyebrows and eyes for a moment.

Ning Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, spreading from her eyebrows like wisps of smoke.

The head of the Jin family merely glanced at it, hummed in acknowledgement, then passed it to his assistant without another word.

Ning Qing was still somewhat unwilling, not wanting to miss such a good opportunity.

After all, he's Jin Baiyan.

"Uncle Jin, thank you for sending the invitation to my family."

Ning Qing curved her eyes and smiled happily, saying, "I didn't expect that after Ah Cheng just mentioned it to you, you would send us an invitation from the Ning family. Uncle Jin is even more handsome and outstanding than the rumors..."

Jin Baiyan paused, his tone ambiguous: “Are you also from the Ning family”

Ning Qing didn't realize the meaning of the sentence yet and quickly said, “My name is Ning Qing, I am the grandson of the Ning family.”

Jin Baiyan turned his head to Jin Cheng with a light tone, "When did you ever bring this up to me"

Jin Cheng's face flushed with embarrassment.

He had to pull Ning Qing over and hurriedly said, "No, it was Qingqing who spoke wrongly. If Uncle is busy, we won't disturb you first."

Until we were far away.

Ning Qing only then realized something was amiss: "... Ah Cheng, wasn't it you who told Master Jin"

Jin Cheng could only say, “No, Uncle really never has time to see me. He wouldn't even meet with me a few times a year.”

Ning Qing's face paled slightly; he had boasted to his grandfather.

....

After Ning Shu left, he went to get some food first. Before leaving, his family had been urging him about all sorts of things and hadn't given him time to eat. Now his stomach was a little empty.

He ate some to fill his stomach.

Then I started thinking about Jin Baiyan.

Ning Shu slightly pursed her lips. There were many people at this banquet. Jin Baiyan might not notice him, and even if he saw him, he wouldn't necessarily talk to him like last time.

He stood there, despite his good looks.

But since no one knew him, naturally no one came over to talk to him.

Then Ning Shu sat there alone for a while.

The banquet was quite large, he couldn't find the head of the Jin family anywhere. But if he didn't do something now, it would be difficult to get another chance next time.

After all, Jin Baiyan is not someone you can just meet if you want to.

But if you want to see the other person, what would be a reasonable excuse

Ning Shu thought to herself, could she possibly tell Jin Baiyan that she was going back on her word about last time The head of the Jin family wouldn't even want to see him, let alone look down on him.

He took a deep breath and looked into the distance. In the back, there was a house. It was said to be just one piece of land owned by the head of the Jin family. Perhaps it wouldn't even be visited a few times a year.

But Ning Shu quickly had a slight thought in her mind, she lowered her eyes.

Then the voices of his female companions reached his ears.

And the waiters weaved through the crowd with bottles of red wine.

And just at that moment, the waiter, dodging someone who had bumped into him, leaned slightly to the side.

Ning Shu was taken aback, her body moving faster than her thoughts. The next moment, because she was relatively close, she pushed the lady aside.

The lady reacted, about to get angry.

However, he saw the unsteady body of the waiter, who crashed entirely into Ning Shu. His ceremonial robes were stained with red wine.

stained a large patch.

She was taken aback for a moment, then quickly called for a servant. While turning to Ning Shu, she said thanks: "If it weren't for you, I would have been embarrassed..."

Ning Shu shook her head and said, "You're welcome."

Actually, when he shielded the red wine for someone else, he thought a lot about how he could actually use this opportunity to get into that house.

Whether or not I meet Jin Baiyan, it's still an opportunity.

Thinking about this, Ning Shu felt that she wasn't entirely pure in her intentions to help others. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lip sheepishly out of a touch of guilt.

The maid led him into the house.

Then he said, "Please come over here."

Ning Shu followed her footsteps and entered a guest room.

The servant said, "Please go in first, sir. I'll go find you some clean clothes."

Ning Shu said, "Good."

He stood in the room, where through the window he could see the scene of the party outside.

Ning Shu couldn't help but stare intently in that direction. He remembered, when he first came up, he saw the head of the Jin family standing right there. But now, there was no sign of him.

He blinked and then looked away.

Then, she quietly waited in the room for the maid to return.

Not long after, steady footsteps sounded from outside.

Ning Shu thought it was the maid from before who had returned, so she opened the door and said, "Thank you, I appreciate it..."ok for Ning Shu."Ning Shu told him the truth, but her tone was somewhat tactful."Oiga didn't succeed either, did he"Ning Shu remained silent.He originally thought that Xie Ci wasn't very popular, in f...
