C254 Toward the Party
Over the past few days, he had repeatedly used the energy and resources of his Ning Family. Time and time again, when encountering troubles, he had to rely on the influence of his Ning Family to solve them.
Moreover, Zi Mo and Zi Ying, who were sent by the Ning Family to protect him, had saved his life many times in times of crisis and borrowed his manpower, financial resources, and material resources. In the end, they had even made faces at him.
"Right, I'll just force myself to go and take a look. It's just for Muxue!"
These complicated thoughts were all used by Ning Yi to convince himself. Subtly, even he did not realize that he did not hate Ning Family that much anymore.
After calming himself down, Ning Yi drove the car home. At home, Lee Lan and Lin Ann were both missing, leaving Lin Xiaowan sitting on the sofa watching TV in boredom. When she saw Ning Yi come back, she immediately walked up to him and greeted him.
"Hey, Brother-in-law, is there any way for you to enter tomorrow evening's party?"
"If you can't enter, my sister will definitely be bullied by that Yang Haonan, that old woman, and Lin Yu!"
Lin Xiaowan looked at Ning Yi and asked anxiously.
"Of course, it's just a small ball. I can come and go whenever I want!"
Ning Yi smiled confidently, signaling Lin Xiaowan to be at ease.
"Un, I knew it. Brother-in-law, you definitely have a solution!"
After experiencing all that, Lin Xiaowan trusted Ning Yi unconditionally and she was full of trust.
"Then, Brother-in-law, when the time comes, can you bring me along for the royal ball? I also want to go and see the world. How fun would that be!"
Lin Xiaowan looked at Ning Yi expectantly.
"Hmph, don't even think about it. The party starts at 8 PM and ends at midnight. You should just sleep at home. You still have to go to work the next day!"
Ning Yi refused without thinking.
At tomorrow's ball, there would inevitably be some confrontational scenes of fierce fighting. Lin Xiaowan was too unruly and unruly, so this time, it was not suitable for her to go.
Moreover, he didn't know what the hell Ning Family was going to do at the royal ball. If Lin Xiaowan found out that something was amiss due to too much of a commotion, it wouldn't be good.
"Humph!"
"That lousy job, colleagues are a bunch of bad guys. It's not good at all, I'll resign later!"
Lin Xiaowan wrinkled her nose in anger. However, it was too late to resign now. She could only obediently stay at home.
"Oh right, I almost forgot when you mentioned this. What are you going to do in the future?"
"If you still want to be a teacher, I'll ask a friend to help you find a school. If you don't want to work anymore, then stay at home. At least there's no danger."
Ning Yi asked Lin Xiaowan as he recalled the incident.
"Forget it, I think it's better if I quit my job and stay at home for a while!"
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go help my Sis take care of the company. Who knows what kind of colleagues I'll meet at the next school …"
Lin Xiaowan shook her head repeatedly as soon as she heard this. Her whole body was shivering as a trace of obvious fear flashed in her eyes.
Obviously, the ugly behavior of Qin Faang and the others, as well as this time's summer camp scare, had left some shadow in Lin Xiaowan's heart. Although she looked calm on the surface, there was still some fear in her heart.
"Ugh …"
He had heard this story countless times when he was young at the Ning Family. If Lin Xiaowan encountered a few other terrifying colleagues for the second time, then she really would have a "job phobia" for the rest of her life.
"Alright, Brother-in-law, let's not talk about this anymore. When the time comes, that old granny will definitely make things difficult for you again. Please don't be so angry!"2
Speaking of Old Lady Lin, Lin Xiaowan had even more of an opinion. She directly called her a "smelly old granny".
Sigh, Xiaowan, you can't say that. Although Old Lady Lin did do something wrong, you can't call her that either. You have to be polite for a few yards.
When Ning Yi heard the words "stinking old granny", he also felt satisfied. However, he still restrained his laughter and taught Lin Xiaowan a lesson.
"Tch!" Brother-in-law, you're so hypocritical! "
"Look at you, the corners of your mouth are raised so high that your teeth are about to bared, and you even say that you love your elders and your children!"
Lin Xiaowan pointed at Ning Yi and mercilessly exposed him.
"Cough, cough, cough. In short, you have to be a bit polite!"
Ning Yi smiled awkwardly and covered it up.
Lee Lan had gone somewhere in the afternoon. According to Lin Xiaowan, she seemed to have gone out to play mahjong. Ning Yi enjoyed a rare afternoon of leisure.
In the evening, Ning Yi went to pick up Lin Muxue from work. On the way, Ning Yi received a call from Lee Lan and then went to pick her up. When they got home, Lee Lan started chattering again:
"Look, it's already 8: 30 PM. Tomorrow at this time, the royal ball has begun!"
"Tell me, how can you enter? Also, tell me what kind of thing can prevent my daughter from being bullied!"
Whenever Lee Lan saw Ning Yi these few days, she would get angry. She blamed her incompetence on Ning Yi and seized the opportunity to scold him.
"Mom, don't worry. At 8 o'clock tomorrow night, I will definitely show up at the reception on time. Besides, it's not too early. There might be people resting in the neighborhood right now!"
Ning Yi answered simply. Then, he pointed at the clock on the wall, implying that it was not appropriate for Lee Lan to be making such a ruckus.
"It's their business whether they rest or not, what does it have to do with me!"
"I …"
Lee Lan wanted to continue shouting, but Lin Muxue and Lin Xiaowan pulled her into the room with one arm each. After another round of pleasantries, she was finally able to catch her breath.
Ning Yi was also speechless. Why should he talk so much, saying that Steward Ning would send the invitation directly to him by express delivery? If he sent the invitation directly, it would have already been delivered and could block Lee Lan's mouth, preventing her from being scolded so much that her ears would start to twitch.
However, he also believed in Steward Ning. He would definitely be able to deliver the invitation to him before the party tomorrow. Steward Ning was very efficient and reliable when doing things.
With a sigh, Ning Yi washed his face and went straight back to his room to sleep. As long as he stayed in the house, Lee Lan wouldn't scold him anymore. He didn't need to listen to her anymore. When the invitation arrived, everything would be settled.
