Chapter 14: The Engagement Banquet with Bo Jin Yu
and to swat it away.Bao Jin's eyes were filled with anger. He grabbed her by the neck and pressed her hard onto the sofa."Five years, Shen Ningran. Your mouth is still as sharp as ever. Impressive, re...Shen Ningran glanced at the time, "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, let's go have dinner, I'll treat."
"You said so! I've made a reservation at Jin Xuan Ge, I won't be polite, come on."
……
Study.
"Knock, knock," Guan Xin Yue knocked twice on the door, then pushed it open.
"Ah Jin," she said with the gentlest of smiles, her figure swaying gracefully as she walked to Bo Jin Yu's side.
"Hmm." Bo Jin Yu was a little headache now, smelling the perfume on Guan Xin Yue's body, couldn't help but frown.
Guan Xinyue leaned against Bo Jin Yu's side as always, and said, "A Jin, I'll have dinner with Jiao Xue at Jinhua Pavilion later, can you pick me up"
Bo Jinyu glanced at his watch and didn't refuse, "Hmm."
Guan Xin Yue's smile widened, and a few calculating glints flashed in her eyes that were difficult to notice. "Thank you, Ah Jin."
……
The Golden Pavilion is a renowned high-end restaurant in the capital city, specializing in Cantonese cuisine. The interior décor is antique and elegant, creating a romantic ambiance, making it popular among high-society individuals.
So the location here is also extremely difficult to determine, and Chiang Li also booked it several days in advance.
Jiang Li pulled Shen Ningran to their pre-reserved spot and flipped through the menu. "This restaurant is really hard to book, I finally managed to get a reservation. I'm going to have a good meal today!"
Shen Ningran smiled, "You can order whatever you want, I'll treat."
Jiang Li wasn't polite to Shen Ningran, she ordered everything she wanted.
The dishes arrived quickly, but Shen Ningran was still thinking about the child and had no appetite.
On the contrary, Jiang Li seemed to be truly hungry and ate with relish.
At this time, Shen Ningran's phone rang. Shen Ningran answered the call.
Ye Ci's magnetically low voice came, "Solved"
Don't worry, it's all settled.
"So the person you reported to the police and got arrested was Bo Jinyu"
"Hmm."
Shen Ningran thought Ye Ci was really a magical person.
She could easily know what was happening here even though she was far away in country y.
"I shouldn't have let you go in the first place."
Shen Ningran smiled faintly, "It's bound to happen sooner or later. You can't protect me forever, and I can't keep causing you trouble."
"Who said I'm giving you trouble I'll rip his tongue out."
"I!"
Good night, "…"
A pause in the conversation.
After a long silence, the man's low voice let out a dismissive scoff. "Honestly, I can't be bothered with you."
"Miss Shen, what a coincidence, we meet again."
A familiar voice suddenly rang out beside him.
Shen Ning's eyes flickered, she glanced sideways, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Guan Xin Yue was smiling as she looked directly at her.
Thirty minutes ago she was arguing with me, now that there are people around she acts like we're best friends. She should really be an actress, it's a shame she's not.
She was also accompanied by a woman—Shen Jiaxue.
Her half-sister.
These two people are a perfect match, they were best friends before, and now that they appear together, Shen Ningran is not surprised at all.
"Isn't that a coincidence I don't think so." Shen Ningran smiled coldly.
Wouldn't she have come over on purpose
"Sister" Shen Jiaxue called out to Shen Ningran in a coquettish voice, "Xinyue said you were back, and at first I didn't believe it. I never thought I would see you today."
Putting on a show, even during a meal, one encounters dirt.
Chiang Li stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed it vigorously, not even glancing at them.
The two of them seemed to have not heard Jiang Li's words. Shen Jiao Xue stepped forward, looking at Shen Ning Ran with worry on her face, and continued, "Sister, where have you been all these years Grandma and dad are very worried about you."
Shen Ningran frowned, a wave of disgust washing over her.
Shen Jiao Xue sized Shen Ning Ran up and down, looking at her clothes which didn't seem to be from any particular brand, then glanced at the food on the table.
Shen Jiao Xue seemed to have gained a sense of superiority, raising her lips and saying, "Sister, these years haven't been good for you, have they Jin Xuan Ge restaurant is very expensive. Can you even afford it with your current abilities"
Shen Jiao Xue looked at Shen Ning Ran with disdain and contempt in her eyes.
On the side, Guan Xinyue couldn't help but smirk sarcastically.
Shen Ningran's face turned cold. She said into the phone, "There are two disgusting things that have appeared. I'll hang up first."
"Hmm." Ye Ci listened to the entire conversation. After hanging up, her voice turned colder, "Jin Xange!"
Shen Ningran said faintly, "Why should I care about your concerns"
Shen Jiao Xue looked at Shen Ning Ran's cold face with a wronged expression, "I just wanted to show concern for my elder sister. Sister, how about this When you leave later, just call me, and I'll pay for everyone's meal at this table together. Let's treat it as our sisters having a meal. After so many years apart, consider it my treat."
Chen Jiao Xue wore an expression of disdain on her face. "I pity you," she said, as if she were bestowing a great favor upon him.
"We're all here to eat, so are you determined to ruin everyone's appetite" Shen Ningran was getting annoyed.
Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and frowned, "Ms. Shen, Jiao Xue is your sister, she meant well by buying for you both. You don't have to speak to her like that."
Then you teach me how to speak Like the two of you, being so pretentious Well, I'm sorry, I can't learn that.
Shen Ningran's voice had no good air, clearly unwilling to play along with these two shameless women.
Guan Xinyue and Shen Jiaoxue's faces turned cold.
Shen Jiao Xue let out a cold snort. "Sister, so many years have passed, and you're still the same as before. I truly don't know what gives you the audacity and pride when you have nothing."
Shen Ningran smiled when she heard this, "You guys gave it to me, as someone with nothing, are you really envious and jealous of me It's also my ability, shouldn't I be proud of myself"
"Who envies and hates you What do you have that we should envy and hate Sister Xin Yue is about to become Mrs. Bo, Shen Ningran, you are just an abandoned woman. The envious and hateful person is you."
When Guan Xin Yue mentioned this matter, the smile on her face was unstoppable with pride.
Yes, she is about to get engaged to Bo Jin Yu.
She is only one step away from becoming Mrs. Bo.
The one who should be envious and hateful is Shen Ningran.
Thinking of this, Guan Xinyue crossed her arms and looked at Shen Ningran with even more disdain. She took out an invitation card from her bag and placed it on the table.
"Miss Shen, I forgot to give you this before. This is the engagement invitation from Ah Jin and me. Welcome to our engagement party."me Miss Shen. I was also wrong back then, and I understand that she is angry with me."Guan Xin Yue sniffled and continued, her voice choked with emotion, "But Miss Shen, that child was my lifelong pai...
