Chapter 209: Making a Bet!
In Xu Ruoying's view, all of this was just Jiang Ning trying to attract attention.
What's wrong with crossing the mountain peak?
It's just a snake!
If a snake were truly that powerful, then the rulers of the earth wouldn't be humans, but snakes!
Unexpected.
This group of highly educated people still believed Jiang Ning, the village girl, and not only threw away the snake eggs, but also ate the unregulated pills that the village girl brought them.
That's absolutely ridiculous!
In fact, Jiang Ning's purpose was very simple.
She wanted to be everyone's benefactor.
Jiang Ningxian deliberately created panic, filling everyone with fear of the snake eggs. She intentionally intimidated everyone, causing them to return all the snake eggs. Then, she pretended to know everything, took out cleansing pills, and made everyone eat them. Finally, she told everyone that the reason they were still alive and hadn't been chased by Guo Shanfeng for revenge was all because she had made them eat cleansing pills!
She could see through this little trick at a glance.
But these people are blinded by their own involvement!
and so.
She was determined to bring the snake egg home and prove Jiang Ning wrong with her actions!
He personally broke Jiang Ning's plan.
Seeing Xu Ruoying say this, Zhou Yingzhi immediately stepped forward and said, "Ruoying, don't be impulsive, quickly return the snake eggs! What if this snake really comes to your house looking for you?"
King cobras are no ordinary snakes; if you get bitten, it can be very troublesome!
Listen to people's advice to eat a full meal.
Zhou Yingzhi is a very cautious person.
If a small action can prevent a big problem, then naturally we shouldn't magnify the issue because of our disappointment.
Xu Ruoying turned to Zhou Yingzhi and said, "Yingzhi, you are a master's graduate from a top-tier university. Do you really believe this kind of thing? What kind of snake is smart enough to chase a person and climb several mountains?"
Xu Ruoying used to think that Zhou Yingzhi was a smart person.
But now...
Zhou Yingzhi is utterly stupid!
If she weren't stupid, why would she believe Jiang Ning's words so readily?
"It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not!" Zhou Yingzhi frowned slightly, picked up a odor-neutralizing pill, and walked to Xu Ruoying's side. "Ruoying, stop arguing. It's better to avoid trouble. Just take this odor-neutralizing pill!"
Xu Ruoying took the odor-neutralizing pills handed to her by Zhou Yingzhi.
Seeing Xu Ruoying accept the odor-clearing pills, Zhou Yingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, assuming that Xu Ruoying had taken her words to heart.
Available in the next second.
Zhou Yingzhi was stunned.
Because Xu Ruoying threw the odor-neutralizing pills on the ground and crushed them hard with her heel.
As Xu Ruoying crushed the pills, she said, "I want to see if this mountain-crossing beast will actually chase me to my house if I don't take this cleansing pill or return the snake egg today!"
Zhou Yingzhi quickly stopped Xu Ruoying's actions, "Ruoying, you're too impulsive! Quickly apologize to Shengbao and ask him to give you another odor-clearing pill."
Xu Ruoying is so ungrateful; if she wants Jiang Ning to give her more purifying pills, she will definitely have to apologize.
Jiang Ning spoke up at this moment, "Yingzhi, respect other people's fate and put aside your desire to help others. Since Miss Xu has already made the best choice in her heart, let's respect her decision."
Xu Ruoying brought this upon herself; who can stop her now?
Sometimes, obstructing other people's destiny can actually drag you into negative karma.
Zhou Yingzhi originally wanted to say something more, but after hearing Jiang Ning's words, she silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Jiang Ning is absolutely right.
Respect the fate of others and let go of helping others.
Xu Ruoying chose this path herself, so whatever happens, she has to bear it herself.
Xu Ruoying turned to look at Jiang Ning, arms crossed, with an air of superiority. "According to what Miss Shi said, if I don't return the snake egg today and don't take this cleansing pill, then Guo Shanfeng will really chase me for over 100 kilometers to my house to take revenge?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “At the speed of crossing the mountain peak, we will find the Xu family’s location within three days at the latest.”
"Three days? Very well! Let's make a bet then?" Xu Ruoying's eyes were full of provocation.
It just so happens.
Jiang Ning was not one to back down from trouble. She glanced at Xu Ruoying and asked, "Miss Xu, what kind of bet do you want to make with me?"
"Let's bet on whether the mountain peak will come looking for revenge within three days! If it doesn't, how about we arrange a party and have Miss Shi perform a Striptease for us?"
Striptease.
Striptease.
It is clear.
Xu Ruoying's ultimate goal was to embarrass Jiang Ning.
If Shen Jingnian found out that his girlfriend was performing a striptease in front of so many people, would he still continue dating her?
Certainly not!
Furthermore.
Jiang Ning is, after all, the rightful heir of the Shi family. If this matter gets out, it will also affect the reputation of the Shi family.
Simply kill two birds with one stone.
Upon hearing Xu Ruoying's words, everyone at the table showed expressions of shock.
No one expected that Xu Ruoying would hate Jiang Ning so much!
It's obvious that Jiang Ning wouldn't agree to something like this so easily.
That's a striptease!
It concerns the Shi family's status within the capital's social circles.
But next second.
Everyone was even more surprised, because Jiang Ning then said, "Okay, I agree to your proposal. But what if I win?"
"If you win, you name your terms!" Xu Ruoying wasn't afraid at all.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Xu owns one percent of the shares in the Xu Group. If Miss Xu loses, how about donating all one percent of the shares to schools and children in impoverished areas?"
The reason why Xu Ruoying is so domineering in the industry is because of this one percent equity.
This one percent stake is equivalent to the Xu family's status in Beijing!
“Of course I have no problem with that,” Xu Ruoying narrowed her eyes, “but words are not enough, let’s get a written agreement!”
Only a written agreement has legal effect!
At that point, even if Jiang Ning wanted to deny it, she wouldn't be able to.
After saying that, Xu Ruoying took out the paper and pen she always carried with her from her bag and quickly wrote down two documents.
After writing it down, Xu Ruoying handed the note to Jiang Ning, "Miss Shi, would you dare to sign it?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Jiang Ning signed his name on the paper without any hesitation.
Xu Ruoying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Ning sign the note.
it is good.
very good!
Soon you will be able to enjoy Jiang Ning's 'exquisite dance moves'.
After signing their names, Jiang Ning and the others put away their slips of paper.
Seeing that Xu Ruoying had signed an agreement with Jiang Ning, Xu Ruoying's friend Wang Miaomiao asked with some concern, "Ruoying, are you really going to gamble with her?"
"Of course we'll gamble!" Xu Ruoying nodded, completely ignoring Jiang Ning's warning.
Wang Miaomiao swallowed hard, then asked, "What if they really come looking for you after crossing the mountain peak?"
It's terrifying to even think about.
Moreover, Xu Ruoying has gambled her entire fortune.
If Xu Ruoying really loses the bet, even if she isn't bitten to death by the mountain peak, she will be beaten to death by her parents.
Even if they aren't beaten to death, they'll be kicked out of the house!
Upon hearing this, Xu Ruoying rolled her eyes. "Look how scared you all are! It's just a snake. No matter how powerful it is, it can't be more powerful than us humans! This is all just that little village girl spreading fear. Just wait and see if she performs a Striptease on us!"
Three days.
You'll see Jiang Ning's Striptease in just three days.
Xu Ruoying became more and more excited as she thought about it, as if she could already see Jiang Ning dancing Striptease.
Wang Miaomiao felt that Xu Ruoying's words made some sense, so she said no more.
Zhou Yingzhi took Zhuang Jingmo's hand and lowered her voice, "Third Brother, who do you think will win, Sheng Bao or Xu Ruoying?"
"do not know."
Zhuang Jingmo shook his head.
Logically speaking, a snake doesn't really have that kind of ability, but there's a reason why the king cobra is called "Over the Mountain Peak." It's because there was a story of a king cobra chasing people over several mountain peaks, which is why it got its name.
Zhuang Jingmo continued, "Shi Sheng is just like her name; she's profound and somewhat unfathomable."
Zhou Yingzhi's eyes widened.
It's also strange.
She had never heard Zhuang Jingmo speak so highly of a girl before.
"Third Brother, tell me, are you already attracted to Sheng Bao?" Zhou Yingzhi's eyes were full of excitement.
Zhuang Jingmo glanced at Zhou Yingzhi and said, "I'm not that shallow."
Zhou Yingzhi narrowed her eyes. "One day you'll realize that liking Sheng Bao isn't something shameful!"
Zhuang Jingmo remained silent.
Because of the incident at the mountain peak, the group lost interest in having a picnic on the mountain. After packing up, they began to descend the mountain.
After returning home.
Xu Ruoying took the snake egg out and placed it on the bedside table in her bedroom.
A maid came in to clean and saw the snake eggs on the bedside table. She turned pale with fright. "Miss, these are eggs from a giant snake! Why did you bring them back?"
"You also know about the mountain peak?" Xu Ruoying turned to look at the maid.
The maid nodded. "Of course I know! The 'Over-the-Mountain Snake' is notoriously venomous in our hometown, and it's incredibly irritable and vengeful. Anyone who offends it will be chased for blocks to get revenge! Miss, why did you bring back the Over-the-Mountain Snake's eggs? You'd better throw them away!"
If Guo Shanfeng remembers Xu Ruoying's scent, he'll chase her for hundreds of kilometers to catch her.
"Aunt Zhang, where are you from?" Xu Ruoying asked Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang then added, "Qing City."
Qing City?
Upon hearing this answer, Xu Ruoying's eyes showed even more disdain.
Indeed, it is true that bad people come from poor and remote areas.
If she remembered correctly, Jiang Ning also grew up in Qing City, which explained why they said the same things!
Xu Ruoying was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Ma anymore. "Alright, you can go now!"
Aunt Zhang frowned slightly. "Miss, when are you planning to throw away the snake eggs?"
"My affairs are none of your business, you servant." Xu Ruoying's face turned cold.
Zhang Ma was speechless for a moment and could only turn around and leave.
Xu Ruoying is the master, and she is the servant. Since Xu Ruoying has already said that, what else can she say?
at the same time.
Zhou family.
As soon as Zhou Yingzhi got home, she started removing her makeup and taking care of her skin.
Her skin wasn't in good condition, and wearing makeup for extended periods would only worsen her acne.
After removing her makeup, Zhou Yingzhi looked at her face full of pimples in the mirror and sighed heavily.
A woman should look good to those who please her.
Over the years, she has tried many methods and visited many hospitals to get rid of the acne on her face, but none of them have been effective.
Just then, Zhou Yingzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, picked up the acne cream that Jiang Ning had given her today, and as soon as she unscrewed the cap, she smelled a faint herbal fragrance.
The entire paste is transparent.
Zhou Yingzhi scooped out a little and carefully applied it to the pimple. As soon as it was applied to her skin, she felt a cool and refreshing sensation, which was quite comfortable.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou came in, she saw her daughter applying ointment. "Yingzhi, you went to the hospital again?"
“I didn’t go.” Zhou Yingzhi looked at her mother.
"Where did you get this new ointment if you didn't go to the hospital?" Mrs. Zhou asked curiously.
Zhou Yingzhi smiled and said, "You mean this? This was given to me by Shengbao. She said it's a homemade acne cream that works quite well, so I came to try it."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Made by Shi Sheng herself? Will this work? You can't just use ointments like this. What if it ruins your face?"
My daughter has seen many dermatologists, but nothing has helped with her acne!
Jiang Ning is far inferior to dermatologists.
