Chapter 222
"Grandma's okay, grandpa is really relying on Uncle Qiu."
Ning Jiang nodded: "How did Uncle Qiu enter Luo Garden."
Luo Hanshang looked at her calmly: "Why are you suddenly so interested in Uncle Qiu's business?"
Ning Jiang shrugged. "Isn't this just chatting?"
Luo Hanshang thought for a while and said, "Uncle Qiu grew up in an orphanage and was supported by my grandpa. His academic performance was always good. Seeing that he was a good student, my grandpa sent him abroad for further study."
When he first came back, he was working for the company, and his performance was very outstanding. Back then, when he teamed up with my dad, it did quite a bit of damage to Luo Zhengcheng's side. After that, the company gradually got back on track, Uncle Qiu took the initiative to bid farewell to my father, and focused on becoming my grandfather's personal assistant within the Luo Garden. "
Ning Jiang raised her eyebrows. "So that's how it is. No wonder grandfather likes him so much. It's likely that he also acts very cautiously."
"I guess so. When I was born, Uncle Qiu had already lived in the Luo Garden. I saw my father being scolded by my grandfather before, but I've never heard my grandfather scold Uncle Qiu even half a sentence."
Ning Jiang's thoughts slightly changed.
At the begi
ing, because of Luo Hanshang's words, she had a good impression of Uncle Qiu.
Even five years ago, when Uncle Qiu kneeled down and begged her to leave Luo Hanshang, she had always been mentally searching for a way out for Uncle Qiu.
She thought it was just a qualified father, a choice she'd made for her daughter.
It was only this time, when Uncle Qiu had openly offended her in front of her, that Ning Jiang suddenly realized that perhaps, she was too naive.
Based on Uncle Qiu's style of handling affairs and how tactful he was, he definitely knew how important rules were to Luo Garden.
He often said that Luo Garden was a place to follow the rules.
But now, because she abided by the rules of Luo Garden, he threw some burdens that shouldn't be carried on her shoulders onto her head.
She had a feeling that Uncle Qiu was going to fall out with her. It was definitely not that simple.
Ning Jiang sighed as she thought about it.
Luo Hanshang's hand poked between her eyebrows: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so worried?"
Ning Jiang came back to her senses and chuckled at him. "What can I think of? I just suddenly thought of something bright and beautiful."
"You want me to talk about Uncle Qiu, but you want to talk about Ye Mingmei?"
Ning Jiang pouted. "I've already said it before. It's just idle chatter. Aren't you going to find Grandfather? Didn't he come looking for you?"
"Go, change your clothes and go." He looked at her, shook his head, and went back into the cloakroom.
He had found her and made her into his best friend. This Ye Mingmei had struck gold.
After Luo Hanshang left, Ning Jiang called Ye Mingmei.
He called twice in a row, but Lili didn't answer.
She worriedly sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a moment before sending her a WeChat message.
"Why aren't you answering the phone? It should be fine, right? Do you need my help?"
After ten minutes, Ye Mingmei finally replied with a few words.
"Don't worry, I'm in the middle of a conversation with that scumbag, so I have the upper hand."
Seeing Ye Mingmei's reply, Ning Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
She put the phone to the side and thought for a while. Then, she fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, it was already four in the afternoon.
Luo Hanshang wasn't in the room.
She went downstairs and there was no one in the study.
Seeing that she was looking in the direction of the study, the aunt walked over and said, "Young Madam, Young Master has left."
"He came back?"
"Yes, at three o'clock, Young Master came back and went upstairs. Ten minutes later, he went downstairs and left."
"Did he say where he was going?"
"No, but when Young Master left, he was wearing casual clothes he usually wears at home."
"Alright." Ning Jiang nodded.
He rarely went out in those clothes.
She lazily made her way to the courtyard.
The four o'clock sun just happened to be not as hot. She sat on the reclining chair for a while, feeling extremely bored, then decided to go to the front yard to find Rolo.
At this time, Rolo should have finished his studies.
She had just come out of the Hanyi House, and walked to the fake mountain next to the Blue Wave Lake, when she heard a familiar voice call out from behind her, "Ning Jiang."
This sound... She was too big to pretend she couldn't hear it.
Ning Jiang stopped and turned around to look at the man walking over.
Luo Nanyi's greatest change from five years ago was that her attire had changed. It was probably because her eyes were no longer focused like before, pretending to be sloppy.
She asked, "Why did you come from there?"
"I guess it was just a coincidence."
Ning Jiang frowned. "Can't you just speak properly?"
Luo Nanyi raised her eyebrows. "Aren't I speaking nicely? God allowed me to meet you, what kind of fate is this, you know, on the side of Luo Garden, I don't come often. "
Ning Jiang shook her head and turned to leave.
Luo Nanyi stepped forward to block her way, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I went to visit Qinxin, but just returned. I didn't expect to bump into you, but I don't come here often. It's true that my fate isn't shallow."
"Because I often stroll here, those who meet me here can be considered fated."
"You really don't want to say anything nice. You're truly good at arguing. I'm not bickering with you. Let me ask you, why are you always avoiding me recently?"
Luo Nanyi's personality was just like before, she wouldn't beat around the bush.
Ning Jiang said calmly, "I did not."
"Don't you feel guilty when you're lying? When you saw me at the construction site, you just left, did you say that? "
Ning Jiang did not say anything.
Luo Nanyi said, "See, you must be feeling guilty yourself."
"What do I have to feel guilty about?"
Luo Nanyi said coldly, "That's right, you don't feel guilty. You did it on purpose. Ning Jiang, you were avoiding me. You can't be afraid that I would pursue you in public, right?"
Ning Jiang looked at him calmly. "Luo Nanyi, didn't you watch the news?" I hope you won't say anything more like that in the future. "
"What, you've become my second sister-in-law again, now you can keep your distance from me in broad daylight again?"
Luo Nanyi's face didn't look too good when the news was brought up.
Ning Jiang looked at him, "This is a fact. You and me, we should keep our distance."
Luo Nanyi frowned, "What bullsh * t facts. I only know that you don't love me, Second Uncle. You want to divorce him, but he didn't sign the divorce agreement. What's a marriage like yours?"
Ning Jiang was momentarily at a loss for words.
Yes, what was such a marriage?
She wasn't sure herself.
Luo Nanyi stretched out her hand to hold onto her wrist, "If you tell me to keep my distance from you, then I would think you are already single. So what if you have been in love with me for the past five years? Do you think it's that easy to keep your distance from a person? "
Love...
Ning Jiang clenched her fist silently.
Behind a fake mountain rock not far away, a resentful gaze stared at the two people in front of them, unable to move its gaze away for a long time.
