45: Chapter 45 Talking with Each Other 45: Chapter 45 Talking with Each Other “Cousin…

brother!” Yun Hanrui squeezed these words through her clenched teeth!

How embarrassing!

Utterly embarrassing!

And in front of her best girlfriend, no less.

Yun Hanrui deeply regretted at this moment why she brought this unreliable guy to such a high-class place!

“Ling Feng?

Your cousin?

Why haven’t I heard you mention him before?” Chen Ningxue asked, frowning at Ling Feng.

For some reason, she always felt that this guy called Ling Feng looked somewhat familiar.

Yun Hanrui glanced at Ling Feng with disdain and then said irritably, “Look at him, just like that, talking about him makes my blood boil!

Isn’t it embarrassing?”

Chen Ningxue giggled, “I think the cousin is quite straightforward and cute!”

Speaking, Chen Ningxue extended her hand, “Hello, my name is Chen Ningxue, I’m Xiao Rui’s very best friend!”

Ling Feng looked at his cream-covered hands and said awkwardly, “Sorry, Miss Chen, I don’t think I’m quite fit to shake your hand right now.”

“What’s all that about?

You’re Xiao Rui’s cousin, so you’re my cousin too!” Chen Ningxue said insistently as she took Ling Feng’s hand, “I’ll be counting on you to look after me from now on.”

Ling Feng smiled, “I’ll go wash my face first, we’ll talk later!”

With that, he headed toward the restroom.

Chen Ningxue’s gaze was already filled with a hint of suspicion, there was a chance she might recognize him, so it was wise to make himself scarce for now.

Chen Ningxue withdrew her hand, although Ling Feng deliberately tensed his hand, she still harbored a sliver of doubt.

This guy really gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen him before and had a deep interaction.

Seeing Chen Ningxue somewhat distracted, Yun Hanrui said teasingly, “Tsk tsk, what’s with our beautiful Xiaoxue?

Could it be that she’s been conquered by my cousin?

Why the absent-minded look?”

Chen Ningxue snapped back, undaunted, “Yeah, it’s rare to find such pure and straightforward guys nowadays, naturally, I can’t miss out on this.

If I become your sister-in-law in the future, I’ll be able to bully you with perfect legitimacy.”

“Talk as if it’s true, as if I believe you!” Yun Hanrui pouted, “If you became my sister-in-law, I wouldn’t mind, but the key is, do you dare?”

Chen Ningxue’s face fell, “I dare not…

sigh, if I’d known that being a star meant I couldn’t even date, I would never have become one!”

“I think it’s because nobody can catch your eye!” Yun Hanrui laughed, “The Chen Ningxue I know isn’t someone to obediently follow the rules of the entertainment industry.

But even if you’re brave in love and daring in hate, your family…”

At this, Chen Ningxue’s face also showed a trace of heaviness.

She loved singing but was born into a military family!

Her grandfather, the soldier, despised the frivolity of the entertainment industry the most!

Unfortunately, his most beloved granddaughter decided to pursue a career as a singer with all her heart.

After falling out with her family, Chen Ningxue went to Guangzhou to drift alone, and after several years of ups and downs, her musical talent finally burst forth, and she became the hottest singing sensation in Huaxia!

Because of some issues, the relationship between Chen Ningxue and her family had eased, and Elder Master Chen no longer continued to block Chen Ningxue’s path to singing.

However, as a daughter of a distinguished family, there was always one hurdle she couldn’t overcome, and that was marriage!

If Chen Ningxue hadn’t chosen the path of singing, she might have been able to choose someone she liked, but since she had chosen to sing and to be in the public eye, she was destined to lose the right to make her own choices in marriage.

In her career, she had already refused to give in; if she were still stubborn in her views on marriage as well, there would truly be no room for reconciliation with the Chen Family.

Although she was the Little Princess adored by everyone in the Chen Family, as a person from the upper echelons, she always had to abide by some unwritten rules!

Even the Family Head of the Chen Family could not openly defy them!

“Let’s not talk about this anymore!” Chen Ningxue said, “I heard that at this year’s Double Twelve Gala, Liu Tianyun will invite the famous American singer Steffen Keller.

If that’s true, it would be amazing; I’m her die-hard fan!”

“Shh, be careful someone hears you and says you’re idolizing foreign things too much!” Yun Hanrui teased her with a smile.

“I don’t care about that anymore!” Chen Ningxue said earnestly, “I admire her because she was the first singer to compose and write lyrics on the battlefield!

Her song ‘Hypocritical Peace’ expressed the anger and longing in people’s hearts beneath the war!

Even after she suffered persecution from extremist groups, had her eyes gouged out, and her legs broken, she continued to fight unyieldingly against the war!

In my heart, she is a warrior who never gives up!”

“Alright, I get it!” Yun Hanrui said with a wry smile, “Every time you mention her, you go on and on.

But I don’t think it’s very likely that she’ll come.

After all, such a gala is at odds with her principles.

No matter how capable Liu Tianyun is, he probably can’t persuade her.”

…

As the two girls chatted and laughed vivaciously, they formed a beautiful scene among the middle-aged and elderly people on the second floor.

Above on the third floor, two men were enjoying their drinks, their gazes locked on Yun Hanrui and Chen Ningxue.

“What beauties!” the man in the red suit said, his eyes roving over Yun Hanrui’s face, “Birds of a feather flock together, huh?

Do beautiful girls also attract each other like this?”

The man in the white suit spoke disdainfully, “Since when did the Crown Prince start liking country bumpkin girls?”

“Country bumpkin girls?” the man in the red suit said coldly, “Fang Tong, stop thinking of yourself as some kind of noble son.

A hundred years ago, our ancestors were probably not even a match for them!

And…

if my information is correct, the ‘country bumpkin girl’ you mentioned now has an influence in the world that far exceeds the Fang Family!”

“Impossible!” Fang Tong said coldly, “Isn’t it just a private enterprise?

Companies like that disappear by the dozen every day in Huaxia!

How popular was Triangle Milk Powder back in the day?

Isn’t it bankrupt now because of a scandal?”

The man in the red suit said, “That’s because people inside Triangle Milk Powder started making moves!

The authorities needed to make an example of someone!

But Chaoyang Biotech is different; they truly possess advanced technology that not even the nation can control!

For such a corporation that benefits the country, if you dare play tricks on them today, you’ll be dragged out of bed by the special task force tomorrow.

Do you believe me?”

“Don’t scare me with your talk!” Fang Tong said with a cold laugh, “If they were really that important, would the state sit back and watch?”

The man in the red suit chuckled and swirling his wine glass replied, “Why don’t you give it a try then?”

Fang Tong suddenly laughed, “Try?

Why should I try?

This matter has nothing to do with me; why should I wade into these muddy waters?”

“Really?

But I’ve heard that Old Master Chen has been in touch with the Lin Family and seems to have agreed to the marriage between Chen Ningxue and Lin Song.”

With a loud thud, Fang Tong’s wine glass slammed heavily onto the table, and he said with a predatory glare, “Don’t provoke me, or I won’t let you off, even if you are the Crown Prince!”
