Chapter 1120: Chapter 1098: Going to Live at Tanghu Villa

Qiao Yongyong understands the purpose behind her brother’s actions.

Her brother knows she’s infatuated with this man and wants to do whatever it takes to fulfill her wishes.

She doesn’t know what means her brother used to make Ning Xiaochuan cancel Brother Yixiao’s engagement to Miss Gan and insists on Brother Yixiao marrying her, but she can be sure that her brother must have exerted a lot of effort.

Her brother worked so hard to fulfill her wish, how could she let him down?

No, she wants to stay.

Even if Brother Yixiao is angry and despises her, she must stay.

...

Beyond the bathroom door, Nie Yixiao hears the sound of rushing water inside, his expression darkening further. Truly thick-skinned, he turns and strides to slam the door shut, heading to the study.

Half an hour later, Qiao Yongyong comes out of the bathroom and finds the room empty.

The sound of knocking echoes, and a maid enters: "Miss Qiao, have you finished your shower? Mr. Ning invites you to come down for dinner." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She picks out a set of clothes from the wardrobe, changes, and goes downstairs.

The Ning family truly isn’t just any influential household in Beijing. Compared to the high-profile luxury of billionaire circles, the Ning family’s understated elegance reveals more grandeur and sophistication.

Mahogany furniture, handmade Ming and Qing dynasty pieces, well-trained, respectful and polite servants...

Outside the corridor, the government-equipped professional guard team maintains the entry and exit security for the entire Ning family.

All of it showcases the Ning family’s status in Beijing.

At the dining table, three people are already seated.

When Qiao Yongyong was searching for Brother Yixiao’s family, she saw pictures of Ning Xiaochuan from the detective and had a general understanding of the Ning family’s circumstances.

The solemn middle-aged man in his fifties must be Brother Yixiao’s father, Ning Xiaochuan, the director of the Beijing State Security Bureau and a general.

Sitting beside Ning Xiaochuan is an elegant middle-aged lady, presumably Ning Xiaochuan’s later wife, Wu Huiyun.

The girl in the white dress, around the same age as her with a pure and cute face, must be Ning Xiaochuan and Wu Huiyun’s daughter, Brother Yixiao’s half-sister.

"Miss Qiao, come sit with us." Ning Xiaochuan took the initiative when he saw her come downstairs.

Wu Huiyun and Ning Duoduo looked at Qiao Yongyong, although they seemed friendly enough, there was a sense of aloofness.

Qiao Yongyong walked over and politely bowed: "Hello, Director Ning. Hello, Mrs. Ning, Miss Ning."

Ning Xiaochuan was a bit surprised; the girl in front of him didn’t seem like the mafia lady he had imagined. If he didn’t know the girl grew up in the Longding Society, he’d think she was just a little girl from an ordinary family.

Qiao Yongyong felt Ning Xiaochuan’s gaze was somewhat complex as if there was a ripple in his eyes. She couldn’t describe the feeling, like seeing a long-lost—an acquaintance?

It must be her imagination, right? She had never met Ning Xiaochuan before.

Moreover, just thinking that her brother might have threatened him to accept her staying in the Ning family made her more reluctant to look at the middle-aged man in front of her.

Ning Xiaochuan scrutinized Qiao Yongyong for a long time before withdrawing his gaze and calmly said: "Since you are staying with the Ning family, there’s no need for such formalities. Call me Uncle Ning and Huiyun Aunt. As for Duoduo, you are about the same age, it’s fine to call each other by names."

"Alright. Uncle Ning. You can also call me Yongyong directly." Qiao Yongyong said openly and warmly, she had always been good at making people happy from a young age. Brothers and uncles from the society liked her, and now it was no pressure to charm Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Duoduo let out a scoff; this Qiao Yongyong isn’t stupid. Does she want to curry favor with dad?

"Where’s the young master? Why isn’t he coming down?" Ning Xiaochuan asked.

"I just went to call him from the study. He should be coming down soon." Aunt Xia replied hastily.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the stairwell, Nie Yixiao came down while adjusting his suit.

"Yixiao, you’re down, come, sit down and have dinner with us." Ning Xiaochuan gestured for Qiao Yongyong to sit beside his son, so they’d be closer.

Nie Yixiao put on his suit, but his steps did not stop: "I’m not eating. I’ll stay at Tanghu Villa for the next few days."

Ning Xiaochuan was taken aback: "Why stay there?"

"Several old customers came to Beijing, I’m hosting them. I arranged for them to stay at Tanghu Villa. It’ll be more convenient if I stay there too."

Ning Xiaochuan knew he was least interested in socializing, usually leaving client meetings to subordinates. Clearly, he’s deliberately avoiding Qiao Yongyong.

But since he took work as an excuse, Ning Xiaochuan couldn’t say much: "Then come home early."

Nie Yixiao said nothing and walked toward the entrance.

Ning Duoduo’s lips curled in a sneer; brother is obviously avoiding Qiao Yongyong. What’s the use of letting her stay? Brother treats her like a fly.

With that thought, she put down her chopsticks and stood up: "Brother, I’ll go with you!"

Wu Huiyun looked at her daughter and frowned: "Duoduo, why are you going with him?"

Ning Duoduo pouted: "The school assigned a ton of homework, and I need to write more than ten papers. It’s quiet at Tanghu Villa, I want to stay there to do my homework. Brother~ there are so many rooms at Tanghu Villa, can’t you accommodate me?"

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together under chin and made a pitiful little-dog wagging-tail look.

Ning Duoduo studies journalism, often writing various news articles as homework.

Nie Yixiao frowned slightly but eventually said: "Hurry up."

Ning Duoduo let out a cheerful shout, skipped the meal, and went upstairs to grab her laptop with her homework to join Nie Yixiao.

Ning Xiaochuan was fine with Ning Duoduo following Nie Yixiao, instructing: "Yixiao, take good care of your sister for the next few days."

"Dad~ I don’t need brother to look after me. I’ll take care of him!" Ning Duoduo clung to Nie Yixiao’s arm, making a playful face at her father.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at his daughter with boundless affection.

Nie Yixiao’s body stiffened momentarily, instinctively wanting to pull out his arm, but met Qiao Yongyong’s gaze, and calmed down, allowing Ning Duoduo to hold onto him, bade a farewell, and left.

Ning Duoduo intimately wrapped around her brother, glanced back at Qiao Yongyong.

Qiao Yongyong clearly saw the prideful defiance in Ning Duoduo’s big eyes!

She understood that Ning Duoduo did it on purpose.

Ning Duoduo really disliked her, even had strong hostility towards her.

After the two left Ning Mansion, the dining area fell silent.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Qiao Yongyong: "Sorry. Yixiao will come back once he’s finished with work."

Qiao Yongyong smiled sweetly and said considerately: "Nothing to be sorry about. Business is important. Uncle Ning, let’s eat, I’m really a bit hungry."

Wu Huiyun chuckled lightly with a hint of sarcasm: "Miss Qiao’s heart is quite broad."

Seeing that Qiao Yongyong wasn’t upset, Ning Xiaochuan felt relieved: "Alright, let’s not talk about it. Let’s eat, let’s eat."

After the meal, Ning Xiaochuan instructed Aunt Xia: "Yongyong just arrived and isn’t familiar with the house, take her around to have a look."
