Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Meet Ning Zhilan On the Road

Ning Yongrui frowned as he heard that matter. "Pay others to get the quota?" He asked.

"Yes. He told me earlier that my son would be seeing his son on the exploration. So, he must get the quota from someone else." Ning Donghai said.

"Do you know who gave him the quota?" Ning Yongrui asked.

"No. He did not tell me about that. But I think it must be Han Weiyuan." Ning Donghai was sure about that.

Ning Yongrui went silent. Han Family’s quota was limited. The Han Family itself has a lot of money. There was no way that the Han Family would sell the quota to Ning Zhaofeng.

"No... It is not him. There is another person." Ning Yongrui said.

"What? Not him? Then, who?" Ning Donghai asked back.

Ning Yongrui was silent again. He did not know.

...

Bai Xifeng was getting ready to go out. When she came out of the courtyard, she encountered Ning Shoukai who was going to see her.

"Xifeng..." Ning Shoukai greeted Bai Xifeng.

"Oh... Morning." Bai Xifeng replied.

"Are you going to go to Shanghai Pavillion?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"Yeah." Bai Xifeng nodded.

She wanted to collect her money. If it was not for the money, she would not want to get out of bed yet. She wondered how much she going to collect from the auction yesterday.

"Then, let me accompany you." Ning Shoukai offered himself.

"You don’t have anything to do?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Nope." Ning Shoukai shook his head.

"If that is the case, sure." Bai Xifeng nodded.

They walked out of the mansion. The carriage was ready when the time they came out. They rode the carriage and went to the Shanghai Pavillion. Right before they arrived at the Shanghai Pavillion, Bai Xifeng told the coachman to stop at the stall. The stall that sold the steamed bun. The aroma of the steamed bun made her feel hungry again even after she already had her breakfast not long ago.

The coachman stopped the carriage. She jumped out and went to the stall.

"Laoye, please give 6 of them." Bai Xifeng said.

"Which one do you want? Chicken or beef?" The owner asked.

"3 chickens and 3 beef." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Okay... Coming up." The owner said.

The owner began to prepare for the order. Bai Xifeng was watching the owner when suddenly she felt someone was behind her. She turned away and looked at the person. That person was smiling sweetly at her. It was Ning Zhilan and several young ladies.

"Young Master Bai... Fancy to meet you here." Ning Zhilan said.

Bai Xifeng was stunned. To be honest, she did not forget this woman at all. She tried to remember it. Her memory had filters. If she did not remember this young woman, that meant she was not that important, to begin with.

One of the young ladies chuckled. "Zhilan... It seems this young master does not remember you at all."

Bai Xifeng smiled awkwardly. However, the name ’Zhilan’ seemed to click her memory.

"Young Master Bai, I am Ning Zhilan from the Ning Family. We have already been introduced at the Ning Family dinner that night. How can you forget that?" Ning Zhilan made a hurtful expression on her face.

’Oh... That...’ Bai Xifeng finally remembered her. She was the daughter of Ning Shoukai’s Second Uncle, Ning Donghai and Ning Huizhong’s sister. "I am sorry. I forget."

"Xifeng..." Ning Shoukai said.

He got out of the carriage since it had been a long time since they stopped and Bai Xifeng had not ridden back the carriage. He was stunned when he saw Bai Xifeng surrounded by several young women. He could see that one of them was Ning Zhilan. He assumed that must be Ning Zhilan’s friends.

"Fourth Young Master Ning..." One of the young women greeted Ning Shoukai.

"Please, don’t call Fourth Young Master Ning. Just Young Master Ning is enough. I am not a part of that Ning Family anymore and my mother only gave birth to me. No one else." Ning Shoukai corrected the term.

"Oh... I see... I am sorry for the misunderstanding." The young woman apologized.

"It is okay." Ning Shoukai nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Ning Zhilan glanced at Ning Shoukai.

There was not much interaction between both of them. They were alone in the past. Because her mother liked badmouthing Ruan Chu and Ning Shoukai, she felt hatred toward Ning Shoukai.

"None of your business." Ning Shoukai replied to Ning Zhilan. He then turned to Bai Xifeng. "Do you get the steamed buns?"

Ning Zhilan glared at Ning Shoukai who answered her question like that.

"Not yet." Bai Xifeng turned back to the stall.

It seemed the owner just finished packing her steamed bun. "Here you are. Total is 60 taels."

Ignoring the ladies, Bai Xifeng quickly grabbed the steamed buns and paid for them.

"Let’s go." Bai Xifeng said."

"Wait a minute. Where are you planning to go?" Ning Zhilan stopped both Bai Xifeng and Ning Shoukai.

"What do you want?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"None of your business. I am asking Young Master Bai." Ning Zhilan replied and turned to Bai Xifeng waiting for the answer.

"Shanghai Pavillion." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Oh... We also want to go there." Ning Zhilan smiled.

The young woman behind her looked at Ning Zhilan in confusion. They never said that they wanted to go to Shanghai Pavillion.
