to your father for help..."That's what was said, but Ning Shu knew that even if his father intervened, he probably wouldn't be able to go back on this marriage.So the key still lies with Lu Rong, thi...But the next second, the words stuck in his throat.
Ning Shu looked at the man standing outside the door and swallowed the rest of her words.
And Jin Baiyan seemed to have discovered a stranger in his private place, his eyes cold and unruffled. He stopped, gazing over.
Because he was taller than Ning Shu, the man lowered his head slightly, his tone calm and measured: "Shouldn't guests at a banquet be inside"
The man's handsome face was too superior.
Ning Shu even noticed that his attire today seemed to have a touch more elegance, softening the overwhelming pressure he usually exuded. When the head of the Jin family said this, it didn't sound like an accusation.
...but makes it even more embarrassing.
And just then, the maid returned, rushing back with a look of anxiety and explaining, "...Mr. Jin, I brought this guest to your room because this guest accidentally got splashed with red wine,... so I wanted to bring them here to change their clothes."
Ning Shu was grateful in her heart for her timely arrival.
Jin Baiyan looked at her empty hands.
The maid could only say, "But there are no clothes in the house suitable for this guest."
Ning Shu hadn't expected that her luck seemed to be rather bad.
The head of the Jin family was right in front of him, but his attitude was completely different from the previous two times. It was as if the other party had forgotten him, treating him like a stranger.
Even his eyes don't seem the same as last time.
Ning Shu slightly pursed her lips, since that was the case. He couldn't afford to be helpless, he had to adapt, so he had to speak up and say: "... Mr. Jin, could I borrow your bathroom for a bit"
“I won’t dirty this place.”
Jin Baiyan's gaze fell on his face, showing not too much emotion.
He merely pinched the beads on his wrist and then said, "In your opinion, is the master of this place quite stingy"
Ning Shu didn't speak, he just felt that the head of the Jin family from last time didn't seem so difficult to get along with.
Although they did misunderstand each other at the time.
So he had to whisper, " ...I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention. You misunderstood."
"This is how many times I've been misunderstood"
The head of the Jin family spoke calmly and collectedly, his voice echoing from above.
Ning Shu looked over in surprise.
Jin Baiyan lowered his head and looked at him: "Kid, answer me. Two words."
He didn't think much of it, just taking it as a small mark on the clothes.
Ning Shu went out, the maid took the dirty clothes from his hands and said, "Guest, when the dirty clothes are washed, please leave your address so we can send them to you."
He pursed his lips and hummed in response, then looked around before pausing for a moment to say, "Is Mr. Jin here"
The maid shook her head.
Ning Shu remained silent.
The maid, however, was looking at him.
Ning Shu has a good figure. When he first came to this world, his complexion wasn't very good, and his skin was a bit too pale. But now it's gotten a lot better, and his complexion has improved as well.
That way handsome and good-looking.
Especially when she wears this little suit, she's incredibly handsome and beautiful.
The maid whispered in praise, "The guest looks very nice in this outfit..."
Ning Shu was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to praise him. He couldn't help but sincerely say thank you, his ears turning slightly warm.
The maid waved her hand and said it was no trouble.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, she felt that this set of clothes had been worn by someone else. But the size didn't seem like it belonged to the head of the Jin family. Could it be… Jin Cheng's
He thought for a moment, and then said, "You know, this suit I'm wearing is..."
... just the sentence wasn't finished.
A voice came over, "You can leave now."
Ning Shu looked back and saw the head of the Jin family.
The man stood there.
Ning Shu almost had an illusion, in the moment the other person looked at him, he felt that the person's gaze seemed to linger around him for a circle.
The head of the Jin family stood there, looking at Ning Shu and saying, "What task have you accomplished this time What brings you to my place"
Ning Shu slightly pursed her lips. The first two times were coincidences, this time although it was also a coincidence. But there was some of his personal feelings in it, so he couldn't help but explain: "No, Mr. Jin, I came here with my family to attend your birthday."
..”
Jin Baiyan seemed to have thought for a while, and this time he said slowly, "What's your name"
Ning Shuxin's heart sank. The other party didn't even seem to remember his name. It was obvious that the head of the Jin family no longer had much interest in him. He licked his lips.
A little dry.
but still said his name.
Jin Boyan said, "Are you brought here by the Ning family"
Ning Shu nodded.
Jin Baiyan didn't seem very interested. He simply shifted his gaze back to Ning Shu and then dismissed her with a curt, "You may leave."
The latter, as if just realizing something, looked up and glanced at the man.
The other person was also looking at him, their eyes deep and profound.
Ning Shu was thinking, if he left this time. Next time, would it be very difficult to meet Jin Baiyan again After all, this kind of opportunity isn't always there. This time was lucky, what about next time
It's probably not a good time.
So what should he do, and what should he say
After a moment of deep thought.
And the head of the Jin family was sitting there, he seemed a bit bored with the outside occasion. But he ignored the extra person here, as if treating him as non-existent.
Ning Shu walked over and opened her mouth to say, "Mr. Jin, could you please leave me your business card"
When he said this, his eyes drooped slightly, as if he had already anticipated what the other person might say, and immediately became tense.
As expected.
The head of the Jin family spoke, "Could it be that you've thrown away the business card I gave you last time"
Ning Shu: “...”
He could only explain: "It wasn't thrown away, I just... lost it..."
Ning Shu felt his words sounded like an excuse, so he could only say in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it was gone when I came out of the hotel."
He pursed his lips and found a plausible excuse, saying, "I'll return this outfit to you next time."
Jin Baiyan replied, "Why didn't you stay at that hotel"
Ning Shu looked at him and frankly said, "I was fired."
The head of the Jin family had an unreadable expression on his face. He simply rose to his feet and walked over, not offering a business card but extending a hand from his pocket, pulling out a pen.
Ning Shu was taken aback for a moment, but she still subconsciously reached out her hand.
Jin Baiyan extended his hand adorned with a Buddha bead bracelet. His hand was incredibly clean, slender, and remarkably pale.
That was a very beautiful hand.
Ning Shu's gaze lingered on it for a moment, then heard the slightly low voice of the head of the Jin family from above: "Open your hand."
He spread his fingers.
Then, the head of the Jin family wrote a string of numbers on his palm. Seemingly feeling his hand unsteady, the head of the Jin family glanced at him and then extended his other hand.
Then gently stabilize him.
Ning Shu only felt that the temperature of this head of the JIn family was different from others, and it could linger on her for a long time.
By the time he came to his senses, the other person had already written down a string of numbers.
"Phone."
Jin Baiyan looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "This time, if it's lost, it's gone, little one."
Ning Shu softly hummed in response and carefully withdrew her hand.
He didn't hold it tightly, but he also didn't dare to place it carelessly. After all, it was just a written item. If he wasn't careful, it could be rubbed off. Even if one digit was rubbed off, it would be unclear.
Then those numbers were a waste of time.
Thus Ning Shu had no choice but to glance at it a few times, trying his best to memorize the string of numbers and keep them in mind.
That way, even if it gets worn off, he won't forget it.
The head of the Jin family straightened slightly after writing down the string of numbers, then pulled away from the other person, saying in a measured tone, “I’ll have someone take you to the Ning family.”
Ning Shu quickly shook her head and said, "No need."
Jin Baiyan did not insist.
After Ning Shu left, she felt a little dampness in her palm. She subconsciously raised her hand to take a look.
The words above are not as clear anymore, even a little blurry.
But it's okay.
Ning Shu has already memorized it.en't recovered. 。Wen Yan wasn't simply lacking in vigilance. It was more that I knew, even if I fell for their trap, I would only end up encountering these people. 。Then the two of them would spend t...
