Chapter 174: Chapter 174: I Was Born Beautiful
Ye Ningwan was surprised when she knew Xie Mingyu had invited Zhan Hanjue.
She found Old Sir Xie.
"Xie Mingyu is making trouble, aren’t you going to do something about it?"
"How is he making trouble? This party is prepared for him, and he can invite whoever he wants." Old Sir Xie said with a smile.
"But aren’t you afraid that if Zhan Hanjue comes, there might be a dispute? His health can’t handle such turbulence."
"Isn’t that why you’re here? Zhan Hanjue won’t cause a problem. Even if he does, with you here, Yu’er will be fine." Old Sir Xie continued smiling.
Ye Ningwan thought, you really have faith in me.
"Actually, I’ve noticed this for some time now." Old Sir Xie continued, "You don’t fancy Yu’er. After all he’s done, you don’t even spare him a glance."
Obviously, Old Sir Xie knew everything Xie Mingyu did.
Naturally, Xie Mingyu was so high-profile. Even when sending flowers daily, he made sure everyone knew.
Old Sir Xie dotes on him so much, constantly keeping an eye on him, how could he not know?
"Yes, I don’t like him. To me, he’s just my patient. The decision I made at six or seven can’t be taken seriously." Ye Ningwan found an excuse for her younger self.
But that’s the truth.
Back then she was just a child, how could her decision be serious?
"Don’t you feel even a bit grateful for the Xie Family’s help? Without them, your face wouldn’t have healed." Old Sir Xie reminded her.
Ye Ningwan said, "So I saved Xie Mingyu’s life to repay it. The one who owed a life to Old Sir Xie was my master, and it was my master who promised to save Xie Mingyu. But my master passed away early, and it was me who tirelessly saved Xie Mingyu all these years. I think, no matter how great the Xie Family’s favor was, it should be repaid by now."
"Right right, you’re absolutely right." Old Sir Xie nodded repeatedly.
He always knew Ye Ningwan was sharp-tongued, and he shouldn’t have brought up favors and debts.
Between our two families, it’s hard to tell who owes whom more.
"Actually, the reason I’m throwing this party is firstly, to show everyone that Yu’er isn’t destined for a short life, that he’s all better now. Secondly, your brother just took his college entrance exams, so it’s to celebrate for him too. The third and most important reason is, I’ll invite a lot of prestigious young ladies, so Yu’er can meet them. With Zhan Hanjue coming and being close to you, perhaps upon meeting other girls, he might give up on you."
Ye Ningwan’s eyes lit up, "Are you arranging a matchmaking for Xie Mingyu?"
Old Sir Xie smiled wryly, "You know, Yu’er is like my lifeline, I treasure him more than anything. But you don’t like him. What can I do? I can’t keep watching my precious grandson get hurt, I naturally hope he can find someone else to love."
"Old Sir Xie is truly wise," Ye Ningwan gave a thumbs up.
Old Sir Xie sighed, "Actually, I just don’t want Yu’er to be aggrieved. He likes you, goes out of his way to please you, yet you don’t give him any kindness. I naturally hope the girl can make Yu’er happy, and not the other way around."
Ye Ningwan: "..."
"So, we need to find Mr. Xie a girl who likes him."
"On that party day, don’t dress too strikingly, overshadowing the other girls." Old Sir Xie said.
Ye Ningwan immediately swore, "I’ll dress very low-key."
However, with Xie Mingyu around, staying low-key wasn’t going to be easy.
The next day, Wangyue had already prepared a dress for her and hired a team of makeup artists to do her makeup.
Ye Ningwan refused, of course.
Xie Mingyu showed up, sulking, "Why refuse? Whatever I give you, you refuse. You won’t even agree to wear makeup?"
"I believe I’m naturally beautiful, I don’t need makeup," Ye Ningwan said.
Xie Mingyu looked at her, and his face turned red in an instant.
Indeed, Ye Ningwan had skin like creamy jade, red lips, and white teeth, and looked naturally beautiful, needing no makeup.
"Fine, if you don’t like it, don’t wear it. But you need to wear the dress, only this one."
Ye Ningwan had already seen the dress.
It was indeed a very beautiful dress.
But why this one in particular?
"May I ask, why do I have to wear this one?"
"You don’t have to wear it, then just don’t attend. Zhan Hanjue will be there too, if you don’t go, you won’t see him." Xie Mingyu coldly snorted a threat.
Having said that, he got up and left.
Ye Ningwan shook her head, what a temperamental brat.
It’s just a dress, fine, I’ll wear it!
It was a long dress, looking magnificent and elegant.
At the time, I’ll just make a few adjustments to turn it into a short one, then it shouldn’t be so eye-catching.
With this thought, Ye Ningwan felt much better inside.
After Xie Mingyu left, Ye Shao came out from the room, complaining, "Sis, I’ve finished my exams, isn’t it time to leave? Why stay here and take his attitude?"
"The results haven’t come out yet. What if we still need the Xie Family? Coming back then would be shameless." Ye Ningwan said.
Ye Shao immediately replied, "Sis, don’t worry, my scores will definitely be enough. I’ve estimated, it’s definitely no problem. Don’t stay here suffering this humiliation. Look at his attitude, as if everyone should butter him up."
"Okay, okay, once the party’s over, we’ll leave." Ye Ningwan said.
Ye Shao’s face lit up with joy.
But then he quickly added, "But you can’t go back to Zhan Hanjue, he’s not a good man either."
Ye Ningwan was speechless, "Are you planning on your sister staying single forever?"
"That’s not what I mean, I mean, Sis deserves a better man. And neither of them is worthy."
Is this a sister complex?
Ye Ningwan was speechless.
However, she didn’t argue with him about it.
He’s just a kid, what’s the point in arguing with him about this?
"By the way, why doesn’t Wu Taotao respond to my messages?" Ye Shao suddenly asked.
Ye Ningwan was surprised, "Really? I just spoke with her on the phone yesterday, she’s doing fine."
"She replied yesterday too, but today she didn’t. Sis, can you call her?" Ye Shao asked.
Ye Ningwan mumbled, "Can’t you call her yourself?"
"Just make the call already." Ye Shao urged.
Ye Ningwan had no choice, she must’ve owed him in a past life.
She reluctantly took out her phone to call Wu Taotao.
But no one answered.
Ye Ningwan frowned.
Recently, Wu Taotao and Leng Ziqing got along well.
Leng Ziqing left the Leng Family, and Lady Leng didn’t come after him for the time being.
So he settled comfortably with Wu Taotao, continuing school and life.
But of course, Wu Wei wasn’t going to let his sister live with a guy under his watch.
This time Leng Ziqing was staying with Wu Taotao, he shared a room with Wu Wei.
Initially, Wu Taotao was worried this young master wouldn’t adapt.
However, Leng Ziqing didn’t complain and even learned how to make fried rice.
Every day during calls with Wu Taotao, she would gloat about their relationship.
What happened today?
Unexpectedly, the call couldn’t get through.
