Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1154 - 1132: Hubby~~ I was bullied to death
Gan Ying was worried he was still angry and tentatively asked, "So, you’ll be attending the Gan Ning family dinner tomorrow, right?"
"Yes."
Gan Ying breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, "Alright, see you tomorrow night then."
After speaking, Gan Ying and Ning Duoduo left together.
Gong Sen saw that things were settled and knew Nie would have things to discuss privately with Yongyong. He signaled to Le Wen and led his cousin to leave first.
Once everyone had left, Nie Yixiao looked at Qiao Yongyong with a cold gaze, grabbed her by the hand, and led her to the store entrance.
His tall stature was imposing, and annoyed breaths came over her; Qiao Yongyong shivered slightly, feeling somewhat guilty, so she quickly tried to divert his attention using her foolproof coquetry tactics, "Honey~~ Thank goodness you’re here, otherwise I would have been bullied to death."
He sneered, "Don’t make me clean up this mess for you again." With that, he walked towards the elevator.
Seeing him going, she remembered his agreement with Gan Ying earlier and suddenly called out, "Wait, are you still attending Gan Family’s dinner tomorrow night?"
"Yes."
Her initially joyful mood dropped drastically, "I’m already moving to campus, yet you’re still attending the dinner."
He chuckled, "Even if you move to the moon, I would still attend."
She rushed over to grab his hand, "You know Gan Ying likes you, and their invitation is definitely not just a simple dinner. They’re trying to set you up with Gan Ying again! Can’t you not go for my sake?"
His brows darkened, and he shook off her hand.
Her heart sank, and she bit her lip, "If you dare to go, I’ll continue living in the school dormitory. If Dad asks, don’t come looking for me!"
He shrugged, "Don’t worry, I’ll tell him you’re interning and it’s more convenient to live at school."
"You—! Fine, you said it. I’ll just stay at school then! Don’t come looking for me." Qiao Yongyong knew such threats were useless against him; perhaps he even longed for her to move out every day. Still, she couldn’t help but speak such powerless threats, her cheeks flushing angrily. She turned to leave, but after a few steps, she returned to grab all the clothes the shop assistants had packaged and took them with her.
So many expensive clothes, why leave them behind?
If left behind, he might give them to Gan Ying!
His hands in his trouser pockets, he watched Qiao Yongyong’s enraged figure retreat into the elevator, knowing she was genuinely angry.
Nevertheless, no matter how angry this girl got, he was determined to attend tomorrow night’s dinner.
With this thought, his gaze turned cold.
****
The next day, evening.
Hebrew Hotel, banquet hall.
The Ning and Gan families met as scheduled.
On the Ning Family side, Ning Xiaochuan and his wife, Nie Yixiao, and his siblings Ning Duoduo attended.
From the Gan Family, there were old commander Gan, Gan Ying, Gan Jinhong, and his wife Shu Mei.
Gan Ying dressed beautifully tonight in a purple gown that highlighted her sophisticated and knowledgeable aura.
Ning Duoduo was in her usual style, a white dress with long, straight hair, looking like an innocent good girl.
The Gan Family’s matriarch, Gan Jinhong’s wife Shu Mei, radiated gentle elegance, wearing a royal blue dress, and accompanied the old commander, appearing to be a quintessential good wife and mother—usually favored by elders, and Shu Mei was no exception, evidently in good favor with old commander Gan.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the table warmed up considerably.
Ning Xiaochuan and old commander Gan had been friends for decades, although they hadn’t interacted for some time because of their children’s issues. This reunion allowed them to sip wine and reminisce about their younger days, softening any recent strains.
Seeing Dad and Director Ning enjoying their conversation, Gan Ying gently kicked Gan Jinhong under the table.
Gan Jinhong understood his sister’s intent; she had approached him before dinner to suggest bringing up her matter with Nie Yixiao when the mood was good.
Gan Ying had already discussed this with Ning Duoduo, planning for Gan Jinhong to seize the moment and propose reconciling Gan Ying and Nie Yixiao’s marital alliance, with Ning Duoduo adding fuel to the fire. This could make it happen.
This was Gan Ying’s primary motive for asking old commander Gan to host this dinner—not merely to dine with the Ning Family.
Gan Jinhong cleared his throat and chuckled, "Seeing Uncle Ning and Dad chatting so happily, one might think you two are old friends, but those who don’t know might assume you’re in-laws!"
The implication of this statement was so clear that only a fool wouldn’t understand it.
Old commander Gan was pleased with his son’s remark as he also sought an opportunity to discuss marriage with the Ning Family.
Ning Xiaochuan realized the Gan Family wanted to establish marital ties with the Ning Family again, strained a smile but felt somewhat awkward.
Gan Jinhong pursued further, addressing Ning Xiaochuan, "Uncle Ning, truth be told, everyone knows Xiaoying and Yixiao are an ideal match by family background, appearance, and education. Their marriage would benefit both the Ning and Gan Families. Besides, my sister Xiaoying and Nie Yixiao have been quite close lately. Xiaoying even stayed at Tanghu Villa for a few days. Isn’t that right, Yixiao?"
Nie Yixiao remained silent, his cold and handsome face showing no expression, as if detached from the matter, though a trace of unnoticed icy amusement flickered in his eyes.
Old commander Gan noticed Ning Xiaochuan was still quiet and felt slightly dissatisfied but still took the initiative to speak, "Old Ning, I heard from Jinhong that Nie now has a girl by his side, seemingly close. Regardless of whether the engagement was canceled due to this girl, since it’s in the past, we won’t mention it. Everyone knows young men before marriage may have some romantic entanglements outside, which is normal. Xiaoying and I don’t mind, and I can tell Xiaoying and Nie still have mutual affection. How about..."
Ning Duoduo was also ready to support Gan Ying at any moment; she didn’t care if her dad reprimanded her later, as long as that Qiao girl was ousted from the Ning Family. Being scolded was worth it!
Even if Qiao Yongyong and brother were married, so what? Divorce is always an option.
A divorce certificate takes less than five minutes!
Before old commander Gan finished speaking, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and the large LED screen flashed.
The banquet hall’s LED screen is usually used for weddings, birthday parties, celebrations, or meetings. Today, the Gan Family simply reserved the hall for a meal with the Ning Family, with no plans to use the screen.
At this moment, both families were startled, stopped talking, and turned their gazes to the screen.
