Ning Qing blinked her beautiful eyes at him, hinting that she wanted to drink the water in his hand.

Lu Shaomings lips curved in an indulgent manner. He hadnt paid attention to what had happened when he was looking at the menu. After 30 years of life, he was accustomed to such a scene, but after thinking for a moment, he knew that she was jealous.

He took the cup away from his lips and extended his strong arm to her lips, feeding her water.

Ning Qings little face was very red. She had only wanted the water in his hand and hadnt asked him to feed her.

Ning Qing looked down and took two small sips from his big hand.

Lu Shaoming took back the water she had not finished, brought it to his lips, and drank the rest of the water.

Ning Qings delicate little face quickly bloomed into a shy but happy expression. She looked up, only to see the girls at that table hang their heads down in great disappointment, and there was also someone who tsk-ed at Ning Qing in displeasure.

Ning Qing raised her small chin and gave them an extremely cold and arrogant hmph.

After that episode, they gleefully ate their hotpot.

Lu Shaoming looked up towards the small pot in front of Ning Qing. The pot was red and bright with a layer of spicy oil. She ate very daintily, taking small bites. One of the fish balls was very hot. She took a small bite and scalded her mouth. She quickly fanned her mouth and cooled off the fish ball with her small hand, then gobbled it down with a very good appetite.

She had only eaten half of it, but a layer of sweat had already covered the fair and smooth tip of her nose. Her cherry mouth was red, with a watery luster.

Lu Shaomings Adams apple bobbed. He picked up his water cup and took a gulp before he said, Eat less spicy food. Its easy to get too hot at this time of year.

Ning Qing raised her little head. The small hot pot in front of the man was very light in flavor. He apparently could not eat chili peppers. She took a piece of mutton with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. How tasteless would it be to have hot pot without spicy food? Try it and see if its good?

Lu Shaoming frowned at the chopsticks in front of him, but opened his mouth and ate.

Is it delicious? Ning Qing asked, biting her chopsticks.

Lu Shaoming swallowed the mutton. The mans Adams apple bobbed. The girl opposite was nibbling the chopsticks with her fine white teeth. The girls actions were very cute.

He nodded his head, his gaze dim. Yes, its alright.

After dinner, Lu Shaoming took out a card and handed it to the boss. Paying by card.

The boss stood up apologetically and said, Im sorry, sir. We dont have a card reading device here. We only accept cash.

Ning Qing was standing beside Lu Shaoming, his suit jacket hanging from her slender arm. The man was probably not used to carrying cash he went out. She looked down at her wallet.

At this time, a girl appeared out of nowhere and squeezed her aside forcefully with her buttocks. Ning Qing stepped back and the girl smoothly stood beside Lu Shaoming. Cutie, dont you have any money on you? 220. Ill pay for it for you. Take it as I bought you a meal.

The girl took 220 bucks out and slapped it on the bosss counter.

Lu Shaomings eyes were cold. He looked at the girl. His thin lips shook. He wanted to speak, but a small and beautiful figure him. Ning Qing was so angry that she took 300 dollars out from her wallet and threw it onto the girls face. No need for you to buy us a meal, we dont lack money. This 300 is for you. Keep the change!

After saying this, Ning Qing pulled Shaomings hand and dragged him away.

Uggh! She was furious. Where did he get so many rotten admirers?

She still had to make repeated attempts to block them.

When they stepped out of the hot pot shop, Lu Shaoming held the girls little hand and stopped walking.

Whats wrong? Ning Qing asked.

Lu Shaoming smiled gently, and as he took one step forward, and Ning Qing took two steps back. It was only when she felt a cold sensation on her back that she realized that her back was against the roadside pole.

With a pa sound, he placed his left hand on the pole and wrapped her in his arms.

Shaoming, you, what are you doing? Ning Qing pushed at him with her little hands. The roadside was full of people. Even the girl who had just squeezed her away with her hips was standing by the door and looking at him.

This situation was too embarrassing.

He pulled his big hand out from his trousers pocket and caressed her tender neck, eyes full of adoration for her. Fool, next time you encounter a woman who likes your husband, you dont have to put in so much effort, just this, kiss He bent down and kissed her with his thin lips. Then tell them who owns me

Ning Qings knees went weak in an instant. Her two little hands clutched at his shirt tightly, and her heart was pounding.

How could he just kiss her like that?

Kabedon had been trending recently, but he didnt seem like the type to watch idol dramas. Nonetheless, he was more charming than anyone else when doing it.

He was speaking as he kissed her. His low, rich voice made her lips vibrate. The words were graceful Who owns me? So aggressive, so wanton. Ning Qings scalp was tingling.

Ive wanted to kiss you for a long time Ive wanted to eat you up when I was watching you eat, so enticing Lu Shaoming pined for her sweetness and kissed her deeply.

It was early in the morning when they returned to the Tea Pavilion Villa. Lu Shaoming left directly for the office. Ning Qing waved him off and entered the door of the villa.

Qingqing, you are back! Yue Wanqing went forward and welcomed her. She saw that half of Ning Qings face was red and swollen and was shocked. Qingqing, whats wrong with your face?

Oh, Mom, I accidentally bumped into apole when I was walking yesterday, so my face is swollen. Its all right. Itll get better with a couple days rest.

Yue Wanqing reproached, Why cant you walk more carefully? Does it hurt? Mom will apply some medical oils for you.

Yue Wanqing went to the living room to get the first aid kit. Just then, Grandma ran down the stairs joyfully and twirled around Ning Qing as she said, Why cant you walk more carefully? Does it hurt?

Ning Qing was amused by her grandmother. Grandma, what are you doing? Why are copying how Mom talks?

Yue Wanqing smiled and answered, Your grandmother is like a child. Shes been copying how we talk these past few days, shes quite good at it too.

Copying how people talk?

Ning Qings eyes lit up, and she really looked alive.

Grandma. Ning Qing quickly brought Grandma to the sofa and said with joy, Grandma, Qingqing shall play a game with you. Whatever Qingqing says, you copy. In two days, Qingqing will have you perform and act.

Perform and act? Thats great, thats great! Grandma loves to perform and act the best. Grandma danced about as she replied.

Yue Wanqing asked doubtfully, Qingqing, what do you want to teach Grandma?

Ning Qing laid comfortably in the sofa as she laughed mysteriously. Mom, you will know then. I will not go to set for a couple days. I shall save my energy and anticipate a tough battle in two days.

Two days later, it was Xu Junxi and Ning Yaos wedding of the century.

The wedding was held in a top luxury hotel. Ning Zhenguo and Li Meiling looked energized on this day. They stood by the door to welcome the guests.

Ning Qing appeared wearing a white dress with straps and a light blue crocheted shawl. All 28 media outlet representatives flocked towards her when she appeared. Miss Ning, are you here for the wedding? Will you give your ex-fiance and your half-sister Ning Yao your blessings?

Ning Qing smiled gracefully and did not reply.

At this time, both the Xu couple and Ning couple had rushed over. Ning Zhenguo was afraid that Ning Qing would cause trouble and said hurriedly, Qingqing has naturally come to bless the couple. Qingqing, isnt that right?

Ning Qing looked at the nervous Ning Zhenguo. The wedding will happen whether I give my blessings or not, so my blessings do not matter But how can you not invite Grandma to Yaoyaos wedding? This is her granddaughters wedding after all.

Grandma? Ning Zhenguo was stunned.

Li Meilings face changed. She forced herself to stay calm and said, Qingqing, Grandmas mind hasnt been sound since she fell down the stairs. Shes not in good health. Shes not fit to attend the wedding.

Oh, why not? Grandma had been treated by a British brain specialist after I took her in. She has already regained her sanity. Look, Grandmas here.

Ning Qing stepped aside, Yue Wanqing was helping Grandma walk in through the wedding banquets doors.

Grandma wore a rusty red coat today. Her silver hair was pinned back with black pins. Grandma straightened her back when she walked, and her energized spirit brought out some air of dignity around her.

Ning Zhenguo almost doubted that he had lost his sight. His mother was walking towards him as she had three years ago.

In fact, his mother had always been the decision maker of the Ning family and Ning corporation. Ning Zhenguo was naturally weak in character, so he had listened to his mothers counsel all his life. He was happy with his arranged life.

So he was very filial, and he was very dependent on his mother.

Mom! Ning Zhenguo was elated. He quickly stepped forward and went to Grandma. He reached out to hold her arm and said excitedly, Mom, have you really recovered?

Grandma sniffed at Ning Zhenguo coldly and shook off his hand fiercely. Unfilial son!

Ning Zhenguo was stunned.

Li Meilings eyes flashed again and again. She hadnt expected that Ning Qing would bring her grandmother to the wedding today.

In fact, she was full of confidence and had no fear when Ning Qing took Grandma home with her. She was sure that Ning Qing could not find anything useful, and Grandma would not recover.

But just in case, she had brought the wedding forward by so many days; she had to make sure that everything went smoothly.

But what does Ning Qing want to do with her grandmother here now?

Had Grandma really recovered, or was Ning Qing lying to her?

Ning Qings killer move had caught her by surprise.

Li Meiling stepped forward and said with a laugh, Mom, you are finally in good health. Zhenguo and I have been looking forward to this day. She went to help Grandma.

Slap! Grandma immediately raised her hand and slapped Li Meiling. She said, Who is your mother? My only daughter-in-law is Wanqing. Get away from me, you Judas who destroys other peoples families!

Wow The wedding banquet burst into chaos instantly. The media were taking pictures furiously, and the nobles invited to the wedding banquet turned pale, one after another.

This slap sobered Li Meiling up. She had finally understood. Ning Qing had brought her grandmother to ruin everything today!

She looked up. Mom, you were pushed down the stairs by elder sister three years ago, and then you lost your mind for three years. I know youve misunderstood me. Today is Yaoyaos wedding. Let us finish the wedding. Ill even kneel for you when all is done.

Yes, yes, Grandma. Today is my sons wedding with your granddaughter. If theres anything, lets wait till we go home and have a chat. Someone come over and invite Grandma to have tea in the banquet hall. Mother Xu came to smooth things out.

Two bodyguards came over.

Ning Qing knew that these two women would not let Grandma have a chance to speak. She went beside Grandma and protected her. When the bodyguards reached for her, she cried out in panic, What do you want to do? My Grandma is 65 years old this year. Is this your way of hospitality? Ah, Grandma!

Ning Qing pulled Grandmas sleeve backward and preemptively made the illusion of being pushed down.

The two bodyguards were innocent. They hadnt even touched the corners of their shirts yet.

Stop it! Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Ning, Old Madam Ning is already very old. Not only are you insulting the nobles by pushing her around so rudely, but its also unfilial! a respectable old man in the banquet hall stood up and shouted.

The entertainment media were also on Grandmas side.

Mother Xu dared not make a move, and Li Meiling clenched her fists tightly. She had a very bad feeling. Ning Qing was getting more and more difficult to deal with. She could no longer anticipate her moves.

Then Ning Qing winked at Grandma. Grandma got what she meant. She pointed to Ning Zhenguos nose and scolded, You unfilial son, you have been enticed by this b*tch and have destroyed a perfect family. What do you mean by this now? Asking two bodyguards to shut me up?

Grandma pulled her sleeves up as she spoke, Look, this is the mark that Ning Yao had left when she had purposely pinched me the other day while pulling me in the room. You let that bastard Ning Yao bully your mother! Now your mother is going to expose the truth of the staircase incident three years ago at this wedding banquet and reveal the true face of Li Meiling. Do you allow it or not?

This Ning Zhenguo looked at the blue and purple marks on his mothers arms and his face sank. He gave Li Meiling a cold look.

And today his mother had said B*tch and bastard, which made things sound very ugly. His mothers momentum was so aggressive and he had never seen this side of his mother.

Ning Zhenguo was stunned. He was a little confused about the situation.

Ning Qing showed her grandmothers arm to the flash of the media indignantly. Auntie Li, Auntie Xu, you guys kept telling Grandma to wait until the end of Ning Yaos wedding, but look at what Ning Yao has done to Grandma. Grandma was not sound in mind at that time. How could she do this to her? Does she have any humanity at all?

The reporters kept taking pictures as the sound of criticism poured in from all sides.

Mrs. Ning, did your daughter really pinch her grandmother? A 65-year-old mentally unsound old woman. What was Miss Ning Yao mindset when she was doing something so cruel?

Mrs. Xu, Miss Ning Yao pinches her grandmother like this, as her mother-in-law, do you know about this? Are you still satisfied with this daughter-in-law?

Mother Xu and Li Meiling were speechless.

Alright Grandma, now in front of everyone, you can tell us who pushed you down the stairs three years ago and why had they done it? Ning Qing said.

Grandma pointed to Li Meiling and said, Three years ago, she was the one who had drugged me. It was she who made me stand on the stairway and feel dizzy. It was she who caused me to fall down the stairs. It was she who ordered Xiao Cui, the servant, to frame my good daughter-in-law, Wanqing!

Grandmas words caused an uproar.

Old Madam Ning, what had happened three years ago? Li Meiling had also criticized your daughter-in-law Yue Wanqing at her media conference half a month ago, saying that if Yue Wanqing hadnt pushed you down the stairs three years ago, your son would not have gotten a divorce, and that she would not have asked for a title even after putting in 18 years of silent effort.
