Chapter 72 Miss Ning Yao, where does she live?
Chapter 72 Miss Ning Yao, where does she live?
The Wen family's old residence, a family banquet.
The old house is located at the junction of the suburbs and the city center, in a good location that makes it convenient to go anywhere and is usually not noisy.
The luxurious Wen family old garden villa consists of two three-story buildings, facing south, with their orientation and layout meticulously arranged according to feng shui principles.
The main house and the back house are paved with white stone bricks, about a hundred meters apart. The whole courtyard is spacious and comfortable, and the garden is ridiculously large. Even if a car drives in, it can drive around it several times without any worries.
The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the branches swayed in the breeze under the sunlight, creating a particularly tranquil and pleasant scene.
After Ning Yao and Wen Tingye got out of the car, they walked together and glanced at the building materials and interior furnishings, feeling a pang of regret.
Excluding the cost of the land, the hard furnishings of this villa alone would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Add in the soft furnishings, and it's no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth its weight in gold.
Although the banquet was prepared for her, Ning Yao couldn't take advantage of her kindness to Old Madam Wen and not even prepare a gift for their first meeting.
Too expensive would seem obsequious, while too casual would seem disrespectful; Ning Yao truly put a lot of thought into the gift.
Looking down at the two gifts she had specially prepared, Ning Yao was genuinely worried that the Wen family elders wouldn't approve of them. But it didn't matter if they didn't, as long as she had fulfilled her duty of courtesy. She didn't expect to please the Wen family elders or become their daughter-in-law.
Ai Xiubao followed Ning Yao, while Wen Tingye led the group of one adult and two children, walking along the white stone path towards the inner courtyard.
The Wen family's old residence, the villa's main hall.
Madam Wen and Madam Wen the Second were sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with Lian Jiaorui. It was unclear what the three of them were talking about.
Grandpa Wen was playing chess with Second Master Wen on the side. Neither of them spoke. Grandpa Wen held the chess piece and thought for a while before finally making his move.
Wen Tingye and Ning Yao entered the hall with the child. Upon seeing Lian Jiaorui also present, Wen Tingye immediately frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure.
Ning Yao was also somewhat surprised when she saw Lian Jiaorui. Despite the car accident, she was still able to get along with Madam Wen as if nothing had happened, and Madam Wen even seemed quite happy.
"Tingye, come sit here."
Upon seeing her son arrive, Old Madam Wen hurriedly waved to Wen Tingye. The seat she had arranged for Wen Tingye was right next to Lian Jiaorui, clearly indicating her intention to arrange a marriage between Wen Tingye and Lian Jiaorui.
Ning Yao didn't care who Old Madam Wen preferred to be the young mistress of the Wen family; her only worry was the children.
If Wen Tingye insists on marrying Lian Jiaorui, she will immediately do everything in her power to bring the two children out of the Wen family and never let them suffer any more bullying from Lian Jiaorui.
Just then, Ning Yao's hand was taken by Wen Tingye, who pulled her to sit on an empty sofa, instead of sitting with Lian Jiaorui as Madam Wen had wished.
Madam Wen's face suddenly turned ugly, and she gave Ning Yao a cold glance, the warning meaning self-evident.
"So it was you, little girl, who saved my wife. Do you still remember this old man?" Old Master Wen looked Ning Yao up and down, recognizing her as the young girl who had saved him at the coastal parking lot. He stopped playing chess and greeted Ning Yao with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao looked towards Old Master Wen, her expression slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that the old man she had saved was actually Wen Tingye's father. Wen Tingye wasn't very old, but Old Master Wen looked to be around sixty years old, while Old Madam Wen was well-maintained and looked to be only forty or fifty. Ning Yao really hadn't expected that Wen Tingye would be the son of the old man in the parking lot.
Apart from Old Master Wen, no one in the entire mansion knew what had happened in the parking lot until Old Master Wen slowly recounted the whole story of how Ning Yao saved him, and then everyone suddenly realized what had happened.
How come Ning Yao gets all the good things? She actually saved two elders of the Wen family and became their great benefactor.
Lian Jiaorui felt resentful and angry, but she forced herself not to show it on her face.
Madam Wen, with her graceful demeanor, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, wearing a well-fitting cheongsam and a friendly expression.
She quite liked Ning Yao's personality and thought she was a capable person, so she immediately praised her, saying, "So Miss Ning saved my elder brother and sister-in-law. It seems that this thank-you banquet should be even more grand."
Madam Wen grew anxious. She glanced at Old Master Wen, her tone filled with reproach.
"Such a serious incident happened, why didn't you tell me?"
"You said you were much better and didn't want the doctor to come with you, but I think you were just lying to me."
"Let's not talk about that. It's rare for Miss Ning to come to our home, so we must treat her well."
Grandpa Wen indicated that these private matters could be discussed later. Grandma Wen was a smart woman, so she naturally complied with her husband's wishes and kept quiet, saying no more.
She looked at Ning Yao, her heart filled with complex emotions.
If it were before, she might have been able to dislike Ning Yao as a matter of course, but now that Ning Yao had saved her husband.
If it weren't for this incident, her daughter-in-law would definitely be Lian Jiaorui, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Lian family, instead of Ning Yao, this wild woman of unknown origin, even though Ning Yao saved her.
Master Wen was a man of few words, focusing intently on studying the chess game, while Madam Wen showed particular interest in Ning Yao.
The fact that she was able to save Old Master Wen shows that she has excellent medical skills, and that she was able to save Old Madam Wen shows that she is kind-hearted and agile.
Such a good girl, if Old Madam Wen is not happy about her marrying Wen Tingye, she would like to try and matchmake her son with her.
"Miss Ning, are you a local of the capital city?" Madam Wen asked Ning Yao with a smile.
"No, I grew up abroad and only returned to China about two months ago."
"What does Miss Ning do for a living? Who else is in your family? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I'm just an ordinary company employee, a project manager in the business department."
Having anticipated that the other party would ask some personal questions, Ning Yao remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.
She cleverly glossed over some questions that were inconvenient to answer, thinking that Madam Wen wouldn't ask them again.
"If it's convenient after dinner, Miss Ning, you can come to my family's club for a visit. My family's spa is the best in the entire capital city."
After dinner, are we going to visit Madam Wen's second wife's clubhouse?
Is Madam Wen being too enthusiastic towards her? What is she trying to do?
Ning Yao was unwilling to go, but she couldn't very well refute Madam Wen in front of everyone. She was caught in a dilemma and turned her gaze to Wen Tingye, looking as if she were asking for help.
Wen Tingye's face had long since turned ashen; how could he not understand what Madam Wen meant?
He's probably trying to find a good-for-nothing cousin a wife so he can marry a virtuous and capable woman and keep him in check.
Ha, how dare anyone else even think about taking advantage of Wen Tingye's woman?
"Second Aunt, Miss Ning is someone I brought with me," Wen Tingye said coldly, his intention to intimidate clearly evident.
