Holding the big boss doll, the soft beauty is going crazy

Chapter 65: Beijing Royal Academy
Luo Zhouheng's cold voice rang in his mind, startling Ning Ruochu, who had not expected to receive a reply.

"Puppet?" Ning Ruchu subconsciously thought, "A killing machine cultivated by an underground organization?"

Luo Zhouheng said "hmm" lightly, without revealing anything more.

Ning Ruchu didn't ask any more questions.

She was not interested in other people's past, as long as she could make sure that Yeyue was on her side.

……

As one of the top wealthy families in Beijing, the Jiang family's influence is self-evident.

Even on rainy days, the place is still crowded with people.

Countless nobles, young masters and young ladies came and went.

Among these people, Ning Ruchu saw a familiar figure.

"Mrs. Luo, I didn't expect you to come." Sheng Qianwei walked forward familiarly.

Ning Ruochu was impatient but still maintained a gentle smile.

"If the Jiang family invites me, of course I will come."

"You haven't participated in many social activities before. I'll take you there to meet some people."

Sheng Qianwei's tone was friendly, and Ning Ruchu couldn't refuse, so she had to follow her.

This banquet was hosted by the Jiang family. Jiang Lingxue was pulled by Mrs. Jiang to stand at the door to receive guests and make friends with distinguished people from the upper class.

When Jiang Lingxue saw Ning Ruchu appear, a hint of contempt inadvertently appeared in her eyes, but she suppressed it and maintained her usual goddess smile.

Ning Ruochu knew that she didn't like him, so he wanted to leave after simply saying hello, but Mrs. Jiang refused.

"The Luo family has been through so much trouble in the past few days, it's surprising that Mrs. Luo can still find the time to attend our dinner."

With just one sentence, Ning Ruchu was put on the edge of danger.

This indirectly shows that as the helmsman of the Luo Group, she doesn't care about the company's prospects at all.

Ling Chuan had anticipated this situation and asked Zhou Yun to accompany Ning Ruchu to the dinner.

She stepped forward slightly, with the attitude of a spokesperson: "Madam has just taken office, so of course I have to attend the dinner invited by my partners."

The cooperation between the Luo and Jiang families has been going on for some time and is still ongoing.

Mrs. Jiang's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly. She didn't know what to say, so she replied against her will, "Mrs. Luo is really hardworking."

When they entered the banquet hall, everyone noticed Ning Ruchu's arrival and started whispering to each other with their heads down.

Most people were hesitant about the Luo family's situation and avoided it intentionally or unintentionally.

There were also people who wanted to use Ning Ruchu to climb up the Luo family's ladder and approached to start a conversation.

Fortunately, Zhou Yun had strong business skills and was able to handle them all.

"Sister Ning!"

A sudden noise broke out in the busy hall.

Everyone looked over and saw Dong Zhaoyan leading Dong Qingran over, and they were a little surprised.

Dong Zhaoyan has always been known as a strong woman, and apart from work she is rarely seen in other occasions.

Why did you suddenly come to the Jiang family’s dinner today?

For a time, there was a lot of discussion.

Dong Qingran walked over quickly, took Ning Ruchu's hand and greeted her.

Thinking of the scene when she was kicked out by her, Sheng Qianwei showed a little timidity on her face, but it was difficult to leave, so she could only greet her with a thick face: "Miss Dong."

Dong Qingran turned her head, with a confused look in her eyes, as if she had just realized that there was someone next to her.

After taking a closer look, he found that the other person was Sheng Qianwei, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Why are you here?"

Sheng Qianwei looked a little embarrassed, "I was invited by the Jiang family."

"Oh." Dong Qingran didn't care and pulled Ning Ruchu to the other side.

She whispered, "Sister Ning, you have to be careful of that woman. The last time you came to my house, she came over not long after you left. She first gave me gifts to please me, and then mocked you with veiled words..."

"Qingran!"

Before Dong Qingran could finish her words, Dong Zhaoyan called her over. She said goodbye to Ning Ruchu with an apologetic look on her face.

"I asked you to come here so that you can make friends with the famous families in the capital. Don't always focus your mind on one person." Dong Zhaoyan instructed.

"I know." Dong Qingran was a little impatient.

In the past, she was interested in this kind of banquet because it allowed her to make friends with more young men.

But after getting engaged, her whole heart was on Davis Loffield.

Moreover, she didn't need to worry about family affairs, and except for gatherings with friends, she rarely attended such occasions.

Zhou Yun leaned close to Ning Ruochu's ear and reminded her, "Madam, President Dong is rarely seen on weekdays. This is a good opportunity to discuss things with her."

Having said that, based on Ning Ruchu's past image...

She acted timidly and pinched the corner of Zhou Yun's clothes for help.

"what should I do?"

"You have a good relationship with Miss Dong, so let's start with her." Zhou Yun also found it difficult, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.

At the same time, she was also very confused: "Boss Dong usually doesn't attend such entertainment occasions, and Dong's and Jiang's families haven't had any cooperation recently, so why would she come here?"

Ning Ruchu looked over and saw that Dong Zhaoyan never refused anyone who came to talk to him, and would even take the opportunity to introduce him to Dong Qingran.

Zhou Yun guessed: "It seems that President Dong intends to let Miss Dong expand her social circle in Beijing. Is this necessary?"

She still didn't understand.

Dong Qingran is the daughter of the Hill family and will stay in the Hill family in the future.

Moreover, among the famous families present today, very few can reach that level.

"It's really surprising to see Mrs. Luo here."

A joking voice came from behind. Ning Ruchu turned around as if she had noticed something and saw Xie Cixing walking towards her with a smile on his face.

Judging from the direction he came from, he had just come in.

Ning Ruochu was surprised and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Will Mr. Xie also come to this kind of dinner?"

Knowing that his words were wrong, he covered his mouth in pretending to regret after he finished speaking.

Xie Cixing blinked his sparkling peach blossom eyes, looked at her reaction, and laughed softly.

"I passed by and saw a dinner party was being held here, so I came to eat for free."

With the name of Mr. Xie, you can come in just by saying your name.

Ning Ruochu's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't quite believe what she heard.

Mr. Xie, the young master of a warlord family, who is considered the most powerful person in the capital, comes here to eat for free?

Xie Cixing picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into the mouth of Jian Taoyue who had been following him.

Ning Ruchu understood. She raised her eyebrows and the puzzled look in her eyes was gradually replaced by teasing.

She teased, "The people around Master Xie are treated really well."

Xie Cixing nodded seriously, "I think so too."

Ning Ruchu shifted his gaze slightly and glanced at Jian Taoyue beside him.

She was deeply impressed by the surveillance video of the underground fighting arena.

It’s a pity that she and Xie Cixing are not familiar with each other and cannot find out more details.

Fortunately, she had her cotton doll with her.

"Do you have any impression of the woman next to Mr. Xie?"

"No." Luo Zhouheng was puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Ning Ruochu answered vaguely: "I'm interested in her."

She did not specify who that "ta" was.

But before that, Luo Zhouheng saw clearly how Xie Cixing teased his wife and thought he was referring to Xie Cixing.

This made him very depressed. Sometimes, he really hated himself for being a dead soul and being trapped in this world, unable to escape.

This was the first time since his parents passed away that Luo Zhouheng hated himself for being so weak.

……

On the other side, after Jiang Lingxue finished receiving the guests, she saw Sheng Qianwei who was alone.

She frowned and went forward: "Qianwei, aren't you accompanying Ning Ruchu?"

Sheng Qianwei smiled bitterly: "Miss Dong came over and took Madam Luo away. It seems that she still has something against me."

Jiang Lingxue frowned even more tightly, "People in Amelia are used to being casual, they don't have any manners at all."

She turned around and advised Sheng Qianwei: "Also, why do you want to be kind to Ning Ruochu and call her Madam Luo? Don't forget that she is the one who interfered between you and Luo Zhouheng."

Sheng Qianwei lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering, "But no matter what, she is still Zhou Heng's wife. Moreover, this marriage was not voluntary on both sides, and she is also a victim."

"She?" Jiang Lingxue was so angry that she laughed. "If Luo Zhouheng hadn't been there, she would have been kicked out long ago based on her status in the Ning family. How could she still live a life of luxury?"

Sheng Qianwei didn't say anything, but a hint of success flashed across her eyes.

She blinked, pretending to adjust her expression and manner, and said cheerfully: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The dinner is still going on."

This indifferent look made Jiang Lingxue even more depressed.

Because of Ning Ruchu, she was put on the An family's blacklist.

Not only was it embarrassing, but she was also ostracized by the Artists Association.

Even her mentor Wei Zhu advised her not to go to the association in the near future and to avoid contact with them as much as possible.

The more Jiang Lingxue thought about it, the angrier she became, and her words were filled with obvious cruelty.

"You are just too kind. People like Ning Ruchu who destroy relationships should be punished."

Sheng Qianwei felt something was wrong and grabbed her arm worriedly, trying to dissuade her: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Lingxue didn't elaborate, but just said, "Just watch carefully."

When Luo Zhouheng was around, he protected Ning Ruchu so well that they didn't have any chance at all.

Even after the person left, she did not understand Luo Zhouheng's good intentions and accepted all the dinner invitations.

This is a rare opportunity, so Jiang Lingxue must punish him severely.

Sheng Qianwei seemed worried and wanted to catch up with Jiang Lingxue's departing figure, but she just called out a few times before giving up.

The corners of his lips curled up in a smug smile.

……

"Mrs. Luo." Jiang Lingxue came over with two glasses of champagne in her hands. "I'm really sorry about what happened at the gallery last time. I'll toast to you."

Xie Cixing, who was not far away, saw this scene and silently pulled Jian Taoyue away.

Jian Taoyue was enjoying her meal and was very dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"

"Stay away, for fear that those two women pulling hair will affect us."

Xie Cixing knew that among all the young ladies from famous families in the capital, except for the newcomer Dong Qingran, no one could stand Ning Ruchu.

Jiang Lingxue's actions clearly had ill intentions.

"Pulling hair flowers?" Jian Taoyue was a little confused.

Xie Cixing didn't want to explain, and said vaguely: "Just wait and watch the fun."

Upon hearing the excitement, Jian Taoyue's eyes suddenly lit up, but her mouth did not stop moving.

Ning Ruochu calmly took the champagne she handed over and smiled gently: "Ms. Jiang, you are too polite."

"Mrs. Luo is so generous." Jiang Lingxue was polite but she was actually feeling contempt in her heart.

It's really simple.

She raised her champagne glass and drank it quietly, glancing towards Ning Ruchu intentionally or unintentionally.

Ning Ruchu quickly realized something was wrong because of his excellent sense of smell developed from the brutal training he had undergone since childhood.

She just smiled faintly and drank it elegantly and calmly.

After drinking half a cup, his expression did not change. Instead, Jiang Lingxue's face froze for a moment. She looked at the half-empty cup in Ning Ruchu's hand in disbelief.

That glass of champagne was specially prepared by her. The main ingredient was ginger juice, which was extremely spicy. How could Ning Ruchu drink it like that?

Jiang Lingxue was holding back her breath, but Ning Ruochu was still concerned about her: "Miss Jiang, you don't look well, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lingxue was about to go crazy, but she had to endure it in public and made up an excuse to leave: "I still have to entertain the guests, Madam Luo, please do as you please."

Zhou Yun was close by and noticed something was wrong with her. After Jiang Lingxue left, she immediately asked, "Madam, is there any problem?"

"A little trick to play a prank on people." Ning Ruchu brought the champagne to Zhou Yun and motioned her to smell it.

The spicy smell rushed into Zhou Yun's nose, causing her to cough unconsciously.

She was indignant: "This Miss Jiang is really going too far."

"It's just a joke between children. I won't bother with her."

Ning Ruochu is not much older than Jiang Lingxue, but judging from this low-level trick, the latter is indeed childish.

"Miss Jiang is very hostile to you, ma'am, let's find a chance to leave." Zhou Yun suggested.

She was afraid that Ning Ruchu could not stand being fooled by these young ladies.

Ning Ruchu was indeed too lazy to deal with these little tricks, but what Zhou Yun said was right.

Dong Zhaoyan is coming to the dinner, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Boss Dong is here, we should go say hello."

Zhou Yun frowned, feeling a little resistant.

She heard from Ling Chuan that Dong Zhaoyan was not satisfied with Ning Ruchu.

If you say something wrong, it will be even harder to win her favor.

But the opportunity was rare and she didn't want to miss it.

……

On the side, Jian Taoyue, with her mouth full of snacks, asked incoherently: "Everyone has left, when will the fun start?"

Xie Cixing: “It’s over.”

"It's over?" Jian Taoyue blinked, confused. "When did it start?"

"It started when you were busy eating." Xie Cixing pinched her face and said lovingly, "Little fool."

Jian Taoyue was even more confused.

She's been eating all the time.

Xie Cixing murmured regretfully: "I thought something interesting would happen."

……

On the way over, Zhou Yun reminded: "Madam, I will discuss everything later, you just need to fulfill your due courtesy."

"I understand." Ning Ruochu replied weakly.

"Boss Dong." Zhou Yun stepped forward and nodded, then introduced Dong Zhaoyan, "This is Madam Luo, you have already met her."

Seeing the person coming, Dong Zhaoyan's usually cold face became even more serious.

"I'm still wondering when Mrs. Luo will come to see me."

She told Ling Chuan very clearly that if she didn't see Ning Ruchu's potential, she would never cooperate.

They thought they would see her soon, but they focused their attention on Dong Qingran.

Dong Zhaoyan looked at him with disdain.

Her attempt to gain promotion through connections made her increasingly dissatisfied with Ning Ruchu.

The previous head of the Luo family never relied on nepotism.

Dong Zhaoyan's words were always sharp, and he stumped Zhou Yun with just one short sentence.

She understood the implication, but could not refute it.

Ning Ruochu saw her embarrassment and stepped forward decisively: "Boss Dong, I'm sorry about this, but I don't think I'm qualified to see you."
