Chapter 74 Come to the door
Xie Jingyuan showed a hint of doubt when listening to Jiang Ning's strange tone.

Jiang Ning pulled him towards the car and translated what the crow had said before. Xie Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, "I really want to know who will win if this crow meets Dahua."

When Jiang Ning thought of that scene, she felt that it was too beautiful. "I'm afraid that even if Dahua and the sheriff were combined, they wouldn't be able to defeat this crow. Even if Tantan were added, they would still be slightly inferior."

Xie Jingyuan shook his finger: "That's not necessarily true. After all, Dahua won't listen to what Crow says."

Jiang Ning thought about it and realized that it was true, otherwise Dahua wouldn’t have called her “Dahua” for so long.

After chatting along the way, we soon arrived at the Wen family's ancestral home.

It is said to be the ancestral home, but in fact it has been renovated and is now a villa with a garden. Perhaps it was built to cater to the old man’s hobby, and it has a relatively heavy Chinese style.

There is an iron gate at the entrance, and there is a security post manned by a young man in uniform.

Jiang Ning looked at the gate and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Although Wen Yao and Minister Wen both get along well, my status today is different from before, so I am still worried that I won't get along well with the Wen family.

Xie Jingyuan seemed to sense her mood and did not rush her. He just held the gift and stood silently beside her, waiting for her to prepare herself mentally.

Just as Jiang Ning took a deep breath and was about to ring the doorbell, she saw through the gap in the iron railing that a wooden door in the distance opened and a woman walked out quickly.

As she walked, she nervously adjusted her sideburns.

It was Wen Xiaoman.

She had been unable to sit still since she received the call from Wen Yao saying that Jiang Ning was about to come over. Not only did she wander around the hall, almost making Fang Minlan carsick, but she would also go to see if Jiang Ning had returned at the slightest noise outside.

So much so that when Wen Yao came back before, he was treated to a rare honor by his aunt coming from afar to greet him. However, the moment Wen Xiaoman saw that he was alone, she left with visibly disappointed expression.

This time I finally saw the person I wanted to see, so I didn't care about anything else and immediately went out to greet him.

The moment he saw Jiang Ning, his eyes turned red before he could even say anything.

But after all, Xie Jingyuan was standing next to her, so she could only restrain herself and tentatively hold Jiang Ning's hand.

It was not until Jiang Ning not only did not break free but instead firmly held her back that she felt at ease and took him home.

Although Xie Jingyuan was extremely arrogant in front of Wen Yao, he was still very polite when facing Wen Xiaoman.

He accompanied the two of them to the door and handed the gift in his hand to the nanny, then said goodbye to Wen Xiaoman and Fang Minlan who came out to greet them.

Fang Minlan really liked Xie Jingyuan. She praised him all the time and even tried to keep him for dinner.

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly at Wen Yao who followed Fang Minlan out. Wen Yao understood the provocation in his expression, but didn't want to pay any attention to him and just rolled his eyes silently.

As he led Jiang Ning inside, he waved to Xie Jingyuan: "Alright, there's nothing for you to do now, go back quickly."

Fang Minlan reached out and gently patted Wen Yao's shoulder, saying angrily, "How can this child talk like that?" Xie Jingyuan raised a well-behaved smile, "It's okay, Aunt Lan, I'm used to it. Today is Ningning's first day back, you should have a lot to say, I won't bother you, I'll visit you another day."

Hearing Fang Minlan and Wen Xiaoman praising Xie Jingyuan, Wen Yao whispered to Jiang Ning, "He's always been good at pretending. Ningning, you better open your eyes."

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Before Xie Jingyuan left, he winked at Jiang Ning's wrist. The green dragon coiled on her wrist quietly poked its head out, nodded slightly, and then silently retracted.

After seeing Xie Jingyuan off, Fang Minlan took Jiang Ning to the main hall, saying with emotion, "Good kid, you must have suffered a lot these years. It's good that you're back. We will do our best to make it up to you in the future. I just hope you don't blame Xiaoman. She loves you more than anyone else, and wants to get you back more than anyone else."

Hearing Fang Minlan's words, Wen Xiaoman's eyes became hot. She shook her head, looked at Jiang Ning and smiled, "It was me who failed to protect you at the beginning. Now that you are willing to recognize me, I am already very satisfied."

Jiang Ning held Wen Xiaoman's hand, looked her in the eyes and said seriously, "Don't say that. This is not your fault. It was all caused by Meng Li. Why do you want to take the blame on yourself?"

Jiang Ning's words stunned Wen Xiaoman, and Fang Minlan also looked at Wen Yao in surprise, and Wen Yao responded with an expression that made her feel at ease.

"Actually, you don't have to think that I've suffered so much." Jiang Ning scratched her head. "When I was a child, I did miss my parents, but the director of the orphanage was always very kind to me. She told me that my parents were there to protect me... so I'm not lacking in love.

"Although I'm not as wealthy as the Wen family, I've never had to worry about survival. So now I know that my mother actually loves me very much and has never given up looking for me, and I'm very content.

"Before... it was just because it happened so suddenly that I didn't know how to deal with it."

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Wen Xiaoman couldn't help but hug her in her arms, but this time she shed tears of joy: "Ningning, Mom is really happy..."

Fang Minlan didn't expect Jiang Ning to have such a personality. With admiration in her eyes, she whispered to Wen Yao, "Fortunately, Ningning inherited the excellent genes of your Wen family. If she was like that scumbag Meng Li, well..."

Wen Yao deeply agreed with this.

Just when several people were immersed in the harmonious and warm atmosphere of family recognition, there was a sudden noise outside.

Fang Minlan frowned and was about to ask what happened when the nanny received a call from the security office and whispered, "Madam, Xiao Zhang at the door said that there was a woman outside, claiming to be a relative of the Meng family, and wanted to see Miss Xiaoman. Xiao Zhang wouldn't let her in, so she kept making a fuss."

Wen Xiaoman and Fang Minlan looked at each other, both a little surprised.

What are the relatives of the Meng family doing here?
Wen Xiaoman asked, "Besides Meng Li and his mother, the Meng family only has one daughter who married to the south. Could it be her?"

Jiang Ning was not familiar with the interpersonal relationships in the Meng family, but she was a little puzzled: "Why did she come here? She couldn't be begging for her brother, right?"

But even if I begged for mercy, I couldn't get it from Wen Xiaoman.

Although Xiao Zhang tried to stop the man from entering, it was not easy for him to do anything to an unarmed woman, so the situation became deadlocked.

Wen Yao said: "You stay at home, I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll come too." Jiang Ning was a little worried whether this person was really from the Meng family, or... someone was planning something in secret.
