The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 397: Killing Three Birds with One Stone, Chen Yuan Traps Two Sisters (Part )
The design of the entrance of this hotel is quite unique. There are gurgling streams on both sides of the main entrance, wrapping the main entrance in an embrace-like manner. It can be seen that the designer wanted to create some poetic and picturesque feeling. Countless pebbles are piled up in the water several fingers high.

On the side, there was a little girl squatting in the corner, she was about three or four years old, with a chubby little face and her braids were quite cute.

After seeing off her colleagues, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief as she stood at the hotel entrance.

There are several talented people in the Audit Department. A few days ago, Jiang Ning learned some inside information from others. She immediately decided to win over Chen Yuan and show him favor, so that this general director would not be in name only and have others flatter him on the surface but actually have complaints in their hearts.

Jiang Ning turned her head and caught a glimpse of the little girl squatting at the hotel entrance. She looked at her with some surprise. The little girl, who was about three or four years old, was quietly piling pebbles there to block the flow of water. Soon, she had built two dams.

After drinking a little bit of wine, Jiang Ning felt a little dizzy. The designated driver she called had not arrived yet, so she could only wait here for a while.

Feeling a little bored, Jiang Ning squatted down and talked to the little girl.

"Little boy, are you here alone? Where is your mother?" she asked curiously.

Jiang Ning's voice was very gentle and didn't make people feel scared. Besides, such a beautiful sister took the initiative to talk to her. The little girl looked up at her for a few seconds.

"My mother is at work and I'm waiting for her to get off work." The little girl answered, blinking her big eyes like black grapes.

"You are so good," Jiang Ning stretched out her finger, as if she was infected by the innocence of the child, or seemed to be in a good mood after being drunk, "Can we shake hands? I am afraid I will have to wait here with you for a while, you can talk to me."

The screen of the mobile phone in Jiang Ning's hand showed that the designated driver would arrive in twenty minutes.

In fact, it was not cold outside. With the breeze blowing, she felt a little hot instead. Her delicate face turned red under the influence of alcohol.

There was something she seldom told others, and Jiang Yao, her biological sister, didn't know either. She actually loved children, and loved little girls more than little boys. Sometimes she would fantasize about how happy it would be if she gave birth to a beautiful baby, watched the baby grow up, dressed like a little princess, and played around with them whenever she had time.

Jiang Ning had seen a question before, "If you could go back many years and face your childhood self, what would you want to say to her?"

She thought about this question for a long time, and finally realized that there was nothing to say.

She was very pitiful when she was a child. She only tried hard to do everything to the best of her ability. She never enjoyed the moments of her childhood innocence or the happiness of being loved by adults.

It is absolutely true that people spend their entire lives paying back their childhood.

The squatting child obviously didn't understand why this beautiful older sister wanted to shake hands with her. She hesitated for a while and did not extend her hand. Instead, she lowered her head and fixed her eyes on Jiang Ning's feet.

Without blinking.

Of course, the child was not looking at the feet. What she was really interested in were the "blingbling" high heels.

Jiang Ning noticed her gaze, lowered her head, and turned her feet.

"You like it?"

"Uh-huh."

"You'll have it when you grow up. It's really beautiful, but I have to tell you, you won't be happy when you wear it."

"Happy? Why?" The childish voice was full of confusion.

"Because it hurts, and you have to practice for a long time before you can walk beautifully. I have a sister who rarely wears high heels. The reason she is unhappy is that no matter how beautiful something is, she will be unhappy if she doesn't wear it in front of the person she likes... But you can try to touch it."

Being so young, he naturally couldn’t understand what Jiang Ning was mumbling. Only the last sentence registered in his ears - you can touch it.

The little girl then stretched out her hand and touched the smooth, sparkling little diamonds on it.

Repeatedly and attentively touching back and forth.

Watching her actions, Jiang Ning was a little puzzled. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the pebbles that had just been piled up, and suddenly he realized.

"You don't like these little sparkling stones?" Jiang Ning laughed dumbly, "I thought... I thought you did. These are fake rhinestones."

Jiang Ning laughed as loudly as a silver bell, and she was really a little shocked by her own stupidity.

That's right, at this age, how can a child understand what is beautiful or not? On the contrary, these things that sparkle in the light are more attractive. It was thanks to her that she spoke so much and expressed her feelings at length. She was so embarrassed by herself that she lay on her arms and laughed the whole time.

"I've convinced myself."

Alcohol can indeed make people happy, especially when they are slightly tipsy. Jiang Ning just felt like her nerves were jumping for no reason. What about the two sisters liking the same person, what about being tied to Chen Yuan and doing a life-threatening job, what about the person she loved going to Tokyo and leaving her in Linzhou.

She left all these behind and didn't want to think about them anymore.

At this moment, the evening breeze is intoxicating, the lights are just coming on, and the city scenery is beautiful.

In life, just pick up the pebbles in your hand and pile them up one by one. Why worry about so many things? Everything can be dealt with after waking up tomorrow...

Jiang Ning raised her face, her hair falling slowly from her forehead. She tilted her face to look at the light coming from above, and lowered her head to chat a few more words with the child in front of her, but when she looked closely, the child's eyes had left here and were looking at her side.

Jiang Ning was stunned and looked over in the direction his gaze followed.

"What? You want to eat the candied haws in my hand? No... this is what my brother bought for me."

A gentle and familiar voice sounded in Jiang Ning's ears, causing her expression to freeze slightly. "I can't give it to you even if you swallow your saliva. I bought this one. If I give it to you, my sister won't have it, and she will be angry. Do you understand, little guy?"

Jiang Ning's expression suddenly became complicated. She restrained her smile, pursed her lips, and looked in another direction.

"When did you come back?"

Who else could the person squatting next to her be but Chen Yuan who had just returned from Kyoto?

Apart from him, no one else could make Jiang Ning have such a wonderful and complex expression change in just a few seconds.

"I just arrived. I told you about my itinerary before I came, but you ignored me."

"Really?" Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows. "I'm too busy to read it... After all, you went to Tokyo alone, and everything was left to me."

Chen Yuan naturally heard the unhappiness in her words.

In the past, Jiang Ning probably wouldn't be so blunt, but maybe she didn't want to hide it today, so these resentful words just came out of her mouth so casually.

Words are very sharp and can easily hurt people's hearts.

Chen Yuan certainly knew that she was dissatisfied and that he had done something wrong, but he couldn't let go of Jiang Yao. He knew from the beginning that he owed Yao Yao something. Being stuck in the middle forever was really helpless, but he was in no mood to sigh, because when he saw Jiang Ning just now, all those complaints were disintegrated.

At least, Ningning and Yaoyao were by his side and did not leave.

This is the best situation for him, what else can he ask for?

"Ha~" Chen Yuan yawned, tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, "Please don't blame me, I rushed back and didn't sleep for more than ten hours, just because I was worried that you were alone in Linzhou. Don't say harsh words to hurt my feelings now."

"You must have worked so hard," Jiang Ning squinted at him, raising her fair neck. Under the light, one could even see the veins on her neck. As the night went on, her skin became whiter and whiter, gleaming with an indescribable warm light. "According to your schedule, you should have arrived in Linzhou at noon. Even if there was a traffic jam on the way, you shouldn't have been back by nine in the evening."

"Didn't you say you didn't check my schedule?" Chen Yuan was surprised.

"I--"

"Ningning, now you have learned to lie. You have clearly seen it countless times, just waiting for me to come back and accompany you."

"Bah, who cares if you come back? I'm just afraid that people will know that you went out to have fun right after taking over this position. You have no sense of responsibility at all," Jiang Ning complained in a unique and cute way. "It's unlucky to have a boss like you."

"So having a boyfriend like me is bad luck?"

"Same!" Jiang Ning stood up suddenly. She saw a designated driver riding a small electric bike coming over not far away, so she waved, "This way."

The designated driver hurried over and asked which car it was, rubbing his hands while wearing a helmet.

"Go back, I'll cancel the order later," Chen Yuan said hurriedly, "You won't lose any money."

As he said that, Chen Yuan took out his mobile phone to scan the code to transfer money.

"Why did you cancel my designated driver? How can I go back? I can't drive after drinking." Jiang Ning gritted her teeth and really wanted to kick Chen Yuan.

“It’s not me.”

"What's the use of you? I don't think you've ever been useful."

"I'm sorry, brother. I had a quarrel with my partner. Please forgive me," Chen Yuan forced a bright smile and patted the boy on the shoulder. "I'll give you the money."

"I understand. I understand very much." Looking at the transferred money, the designated driver immediately became understanding, got on his car, and drove away in a flash.

Wait until he's gone.

Chen Yuan trotted over, walked up the stairs, and reached out to take Jiang Ning's bag. He had just been criticized for not playing the role of a boyfriend, so now he had to start playing that role.

He had come all the way back from Tokyo, just for this woman who was sulking but refused to admit it, and who was so adorable that he couldn't help but lower his eyes and whisper to her to coax her.

The more Chen Yuan looked at Jiang Ning, the more beautiful she seemed to him.

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Jiang Ning was almost laughing out of anger.

"Here are the candied haws. I bought them on the road."

"You really have time to spare."

Jiang Ning looked at the candied haws that were forced into her hands, hesitated for a moment, and then tore open the packaging.

Strawberries, oranges and hawthorns are wrapped in shiny sugar and sparkle with amber light.
