Chapter 1151: Chapter 1129: A Woman Who Doesn’t Know How to Spend Money Isn’t a Good Woman!

Old Commander Gan couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with Young Master Nie?"

Gan Ying shook her head and seemed to make a decision, "No. Dad, since I’ve reconciled with him this time, no matter the people or obstacles, I won’t miss this chance again... Dad, could you promise me one thing?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Tell me."

"Since the engagement party was canceled last time, our Gan Family and Ning Family haven’t formally reconciled. Why not arrange for the two families to have dinner together one day?"

Old Commander Gan understood that his daughter wanted more opportunities to interact with Young Master Nie. For his daughter’s happiness, swallowing his pride to mend things with the Ning Family was nothing; he nodded, "Alright, I’ll have your brother arrange it."

****

A few days later, the Gan Family’s invitation was sent to the Ning Family.

During dinner, Ning Xiaochuan specially mentioned this matter to the family, the gathering was scheduled two days later, in the banquet hall of the Hebrew Hotel in Beijing where aristocrats gathered.

The Gan Family invited Ning Xiaochuan, his wife, Nie Yixiao, and the Ning Duoduo family of four to attend.

Nie Yixiao listened and didn’t say anything, silently agreeing.

Qiao Yongyong paused her chopsticks for a moment upon hearing this; this was a reconciliation banquet for the Ning and Gan families, and the Ning Family would certainly participate. But at that time, Brother Yixiao would have the chance to meet Gan Ying again.

Ning Duoduo noticed Qiao Yongyong’s slightly melancholic expression and smiled proudly, "Great! I haven’t attended a banquet in a long time. I’ll go upstairs to pick an outfit later."

"This child, look how happy you are. Eat first, you can take your time to pick later. If there’s nothing suitable, we can go shopping tomorrow." Wu Huiyun said lovingly and gently to her darling daughter.

Ning Duoduo nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, come shop with me then."

Qiao Yongyong raised her eyebrow, isn’t this intentional? Ning Duoduo knew well that she and Brother Yixiao were merely secretly married, unknown to the world outside the Ning Family. In the guests invited by the Gan Family from the Ning Family, how could she be included?

Wu Huiyun immediately commented, "Your sister-in-law isn’t going."

The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became awkward. Ning Xiaochuan coughed and looked at Qiao Yongyong, "Yongyong..."

Although Yixiao married Yongyong, due to Yongyong’s current family background, Ning Xiaochuan felt guilty that they couldn’t publicly acknowledge this daughter-in-law yet.

Qiao Yongyong interrupted with a smile, "Coincidentally, I have an interview assignment that requires me to stay at school for a few days. Even if I wanted to go, I couldn’t. You all have fun."

......

After dinner, Ning Duoduo went upstairs to the wardrobe to choose an outfit.

Qiao Yongyong stayed with Ning Xiaochuan watching some TV in the living room, then silently followed behind Nie Yixiao upstairs, shutting the door as soon as they entered, "Are you really going to the Gan Family’s dinner?"

Since the incident at the horse farm that day, Nie Yixiao had been coming home late every day; upon returning, he’d go straight into the study, reverting to his cold and aloof state, as if avoiding the awkwardness from that day at the horse farm.

He answered simply, "Yes."

"Can’t you not go? Just find an excuse to cancel, can’t you?"

Despite knowing that, in such a setting, he, as the young master of the Ning Family, was bound to attend; still, she felt it unreasonable asking, but—she just didn’t want to see him meet and interact with Gan Ying again, especially in her absence.

"What do you think?" He lazily undid the buttons at his collar with his long fingers, humorously questioning.

She bit her lips, "At the horse farm that day, you promised that you wouldn’t be alone with Gan Ying again."

"This isn’t being alone."

"I don’t care, I don’t want you to see her again." That Gan Ying obviously hadn’t given up on her husband, and given the chance, she’d try to seize him. She felt uneasy saying this, her eyes almost reddening.

He noticed her nose beginning to turn pink and her long lashes glistening, so he frowned and turned away to avoid seeing her pitiful look.

Has she already forgotten how she once deceived him?

Forgotten how this Little Demoness, full of devious schemes, loves placing people under her control?

How can he allow her current state to soften his heart again?

Not—allowed—to.

"Stop making a fuss." He walked to the wardrobe intending to change clothes.

Her eyes dimmed for a moment, gathering a few books and a change of lingerie and underwear, she grabbed her handbag.

He saw her as if she was about to leave, and frowned, "Where are you going?"

"Didn’t I mention during dinner? I have an interview assignment and need to stay at school for a few days. I’m heading to school." She picked up her bag, not looking back.

His face turned stern, "It’s already ten at night."

"So what? Afraid it’s unsafe for me to head to school alone at night? Don’t worry, at worst I’ll get harassed, molested, raped~ if I want to! If I like it!" The Little Demoness tossed her hair and darted downstairs!

His face darkened as her words sunk in, clenching his fists, the composure on his face utterly vanished.

At that moment, Aunt Xia came in, "Young Master, Young Mistress has headed to school. I offered the driver to take her, but she refused, saying she’d take a taxi by herself. It’s quite late now and the university campus isn’t in the city, it’s quite far. Isn’t it unsafe for a girl? Do you want to see her off?"

This girl was really being stubborn!

He furrowed his cold brows, see her off? What about his dignity then?

A few seconds later, standing tall, he got up and went downstairs.

Five minutes later, near the Ning Family residence, Qiao Yongyong flagged down a taxi on the roadside, "Beijing University."

The taxi drove along the road.

Meanwhile.

About ten meters behind the taxi, a military Land Rover followed closely, driven by the Ning Family guard.

In the back seat, Nie Yixiao’s gaze was fixed on the taxi ahead.

The two cars sped along the night streets, one after the other.

Until the taxi stopped at the entrance of Beijing University, the petite figure got out safely and entered the school. Only then did the guard look back, "Young Master, Young Mistress has safely entered the university."

His gaze softened a bit.

Soon after, the military Land Rover sped away into the night.

——————————

Qiao Yongyong came to spend the night at school, and seeing something was off, Le Wen, understanding there must have been an upset with Young Master Nie, took the chance the next morning, since she didn’t have classes, to pull her out for some shopping outside the school to lift her spirits.

They spent the whole morning at the largest and busiest department store in Beijing, with quite the haul.

Qiao Yongyong didn’t bother saving his money anymore, swiping the card he gave her recklessly.

Seeing her mood improve post-shopping, Le Wen encouraged, "A woman can’t shortchange herself, money’s a bastard, it’s meant to be spent and earned again. A woman who doesn’t know how to spend isn’t a good woman!"

"Exactly, and especially if it’s bastard money! If not spent, it’s wasted! Why save it for him!" Qiao Yongyong became more spirited, dragging Le Wen through the luxury stores, refusing to buy anything cheap.
