In the courtyard, there was a tall, handsome young man who was talking quite intimately with Mr. Ning.
Ning Ruirui saw this young man as soon as she entered the door, and she couldn't help showing an unexpected expression on her pretty face: "Hey, little pustule, why are you here?"
"Sister Ruirui, can you please stop calling me by nicknames?"
The young man looked unhappy and corrected him sternly: "I am not a pustule, I am now a man Ning Ruichen."
Ning Ruirui looked a little dull and asked casually: "What kind of dragon are you, what are you doing in Guicheng?"
"Sister Ruirui, we haven't seen each other for several years. You are too indifferent."
Ning Ruichen had a look of disappointment on his face, and said complainingly: "When I was a child, you loved me very much."
Xia Tian glanced at the young man and asked Ning Ruirui: "Little long-legged girl, who is this idiot?"
"My third uncle's youngest son."
Ning Ruirui replied.
"Hey, you must be my sister's boyfriend."
Ning Ruichen looked at Xia Tian meaningfully, and began to flatter her without emotion: "Sure enough, he is a talented person, and he looks like the best among people. Please give me your advice in the future."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "I'm not familiar with you, so I'm not interested in teaching you."
"The time we spend together is still long, and we will gradually become familiar with each other."
Ning Ruichen was a familiar person and immediately said with a smile: "After all, I am also your future brother-in-law. If you support me more, Sister Ruirui will be happy, right?"
Ning Ruirui frowned and asked, "What do you mean when you say we'll still be together for a long time?"
"That's what it means literally."
Ning Ruichen laughed and explained: "Sister Ruirui, you also know that my dream since childhood is to be an athlete like you and win glory for the country.
But Star Island Country is too small, the sports world is deeply involved, and the veteran players hold the right to speak. It’s too difficult for me to get ahead, so I might as well come back, there are more opportunities here.”
After saying that, he winked at Ning Ruirui and said, "Besides, with sister Ruirui, this sports legend like you, here, my activities in the country will definitely be smoother."
"You are overthinking. The competition in China is more intense. With your personality, you may be tortured and cried ten times a day."
Ning Ruirui really didn't think highly of her cousin. It was because the image of that little pustule in her childhood was too deep. Even if she was timid, she would still cry.
When Ning Ruichen heard this, her face fell, and she said to Mr. Ning: "Grandpa, listen, Sister Ruirui actually belittled me like this."
"Ruichen is a good boy, different from his bastard father."
Mr. Ning looked at Ning Ruirui with a smile and said softly: "Since he wants to come back to develop, if you can help him, please help him."
Ning Ruichen also said at the right time: "I know that my father has done many bad things, but I can't stop him, so I had already severed the father-son relationship with him before coming here."
"Okay."
Ning Ruirui was too lazy to listen to such nonsense anymore and said directly: "You can come back to develop, but you have to be obedient first and don't think about doing those messy things."
"I am a very decent person."
Ning Ruichen immediately patted her chest and promised very sincerely: "I didn't even go to nightclubs or bars."
At this time, Xia Tian exposed it with a look of disdain: "You just spent the night at the bar last night, right."
"Hey, how did you know...No, absolutely not."
Ning Ruichen let it slip, and it was too late to make up for it, so he had to admit it directly: "I did go to the bar yesterday because I met some old friends here. They insisted on dragging me there, but there was nothing I could do.
Refuse, after all, I have to live here in Guicheng from now on."
"You don't need to explain to me, I'm not interested in knowing either."
Ning Ruirui waved her hand, interrupting Ning Ruichen's explanation: "I will give you a chance, and then you can decide on your own."
"Sister Ruirui, you are so kind."
Ning Ruichen excitedly went to hug Ning Ruirui, but was stopped by Xia Tian's hand.
Xia Tian glared at him: "What do you want to do?
The little long-legged girl is my woman, don’t try to take advantage of her."
"Brother-in-law, you are too sensitive."
Ning Ruichen was speechless, "I am sister Ruirui's cousin. Do I have any dirty thoughts? I just want to hug sister Ruirui to express my gratitude."
"Just say thank you and don't need to hug me."
Xia Tian said seriously.
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but laugh a little, but she didn't blame Xia Tian for being sensitive. She just said lightly: "You don't need to thank me. We are a family after all. I just hope you won't be like my third uncle in the future."
"That's impossible. I won't be that kind of ungrateful villain."
Ning Ruichen nodded and assured.
"Where have you been living lately?"
Ning Ruirui said casually: "If you can't find a place to live, you can move here. There are plenty of rooms in the house."
Ning Ruichen waved his hand: "No need for this, I live here, I guess my brother-in-law can beat me up every day.
I’m staying at my friend’s place, and I’m going to attend a friend’s engagement party tonight.”
"Engagement party?"
Ning Ruirui subconsciously thought of the eldest young master of the Zhan family, so she asked: "Whose engagement party is it?"
"It belongs to a friend."
Ning Ruichen said casually.
Ning Ruirui rolled her eyes at him: "Let me ask, whose is it?"
"Oh, her name is Nie Xiaoli."
Ning Ruichen saw that Ning Ruirui's expression was a little serious, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "She is my classmate in college, but we were only classmates for a year, and then I went to Xingdao to study abroad."
"It's really her. The earth is really small enough."
Ning Ruirui murmured to herself: "It is indeed the Zhan family again."
"Sister Ruirui, do you know her?"
Ning Ruichen was also a little surprised.
Xia Tian interrupted at this time: "Of course I know her, she is still my planned future wife No. 2."
"Um?"
After hearing this, Ning Ruichen felt something was wrong, so she observed Ning Ruirui's face and found that she had no special reaction. She was shocked. Could it be that Sister Ruirui was being used as a mistress?
"It's not the kind of relationship you imagined."
Ning Ruirui knew from her cousin's eyes that the boy had misunderstood, but she didn't bother to explain further.
Xia Tian said directly: "The little long-legged girl is my future wife.
The stewardess wife is just the future wife No. 2, there is still a difference."
"Brother-in-law, you..." Ning Ruichen turned to look at Ning Ruirui, "Sister, didn't you hear what he said? He is obviously looking for a mistress."
Ning Ruirui said angrily: "Mind yourself, it's not your turn to worry about his affairs."
This tone sounded like he already knew it, but he didn't mean to care at all.
"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome. How did you do it?"
Ning Ruichen was stunned for several seconds and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xia Tian: "My sister has a bad temper. You can make her docile. If you find a mistress who is so confident, please teach me.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Ruirui hit him hard on the head.
"Ah, Sister Ruirui, why are you hitting me? I just want to get high orally."
Ning Ruichen looked puzzled.
Ning Ruirui was decisive: "That won't work either."
"You're being a bit unreasonable."
Ning Ruichen protested dissatisfied: "Brother-in-law has already done it, but you don't care. I just say something, so you beat me."
"Don't learn from him, he is not a good person."
Ning Ruirui glared at her cousin and warned her solemnly: "Don't learn any nonsense from others, otherwise I will destroy you even if your father wants to take care of you."
Ning Ruichen was speechless.
They are both men, but their treatment is so different.
It is said that women in love are all love brains. I originally thought that Sister Ruirui would not be like this, but I didn't expect that it would be more serious.
"Sister, will you go to the engagement party that night?"
Ning Ruichen suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Ning Ruirui was startled for a moment and said subconsciously: "I don't know either of them, so why should I go?"
“You don’t have to know someone to go.”
Ning Ruichen laughed and said casually: "I heard that the Zhan family invited all the famous people in Guicheng. Although most of our Ning family has moved to Xingdao, we still have some reputation.
If he doesn't invite you, wouldn't he look down on our Ning family too much?"
As he spoke, the conversation changed again: "Besides, from what I heard from Sister Ruirui, your tone just now is obviously a little unhappy with the Zhan family. How can you vent your anger if you don't attend this wedding banquet?"
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but look at her cousin with some surprise. Sure enough, he had grown up and learned to observe faces, and he was so keen.
"There are some minor frictions, but I won't cause trouble on someone else's happy day."
Ning Ruirui said lightly.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
At this time, there was a rapid and violent knock on the door, and then someone shouted: "Is anyone there? Open the door quickly!"
Ning Ruirui frowned slightly, it would be too rude to come here.
"I gonna go see."
Ning Ruichen immediately walked quickly to the door, opened the door, looked at the people coming, and found a young man in formal clothes standing in front of the door, with a silver-white BMW parked behind him.
Ning Ruichen said calmly: "Who are you looking for?"
"I am the assistant to Mr. Zhan of Dijing Group. My surname is Ye."
The young man spoke very politely, but his tone was quite stiff: "I am here to send an invitation to Miss Ning Ruirui and Mr. Xia Tian on behalf of Mr. Zhan, asking them to go to Guicheng Hotel at nine o'clock in the evening.
, attend my eldest young master’s engagement party.”
Ning Ruichen teased in a funny way: "Haha, your Zhan family is really interesting. You have a wedding banquet tonight, and are you just sending out invitations now?"
"This is a special invitation, written by our Mr. Zhan himself."
The young man bowed slightly and continued, "Are Miss Ning and Mr. Xia here?"
Ning Ruichen said: "Can't you just give it to me?"
"Sorry, I have to hand it over to Miss Ning and Mr. Xia in person."
The young man's expression remained unchanged and his voice was cold, but he was clearly arrogant, which made Ning Ruichen a little unhappy.
"I am Ning Ruirui, and he is Xia Tian."
Ning Ruirui brought Xia Tian to the door at this time.
"good."
The young man took two steps forward and handed the invitation over with both hands: "Please accept the invitation."
Just as Ning Ruirui was about to reach out to take it, a cold light suddenly shot out from the invitation and hit her face.
"ah!"
There was a scream, and a figure fell to the ground.
