In order to treat his children to a meal, Nan Xing booked an entire children restaurant in Flower City.
As he booked the entire restaurant, the activity corner that was usually full of life became cold and quiet without a single soul around.
Ning Ran impatiently said, “The appealing factor of this children’s restaurant is the fun and company the children can get in the activity corner. What’s the point if no one else can enter this place because you booked the whole place?”
Nan Xing was speechless, “I didn’t consider that much. I just thought that it would be nice to have a peaceful area to ourselves as we reunite as a family.”
The dishes came up one after another, and it seemed endless.
“Did you order all the dishes available in this restaurant?” Ning Ran questioned.
“Yes, I made a reservation. I wasn’t sure what the kids would like to eat, so I just got the restaurant to serve their best sellers. The kids can just eat whatever they like. Saves the hassle of having the select dishes.” Nan Xing replied.
“Wasteful.” Dabao said as he threw Nan Xing a cold stare.
“Did you hear that? Even children know that it is a waste! I know that you are rich, but do you have to be so wasteful? You’re setting a wrong example for the kids!” Ning Ran frowned and exclaimed.
“Fine, it’s my fault. I thought that given my ability, I would be able to win this child’s heart over but now it seems challenging. He hasn’t stopped criticizing me all this while. Everything I do seems wrong to him!” Nan Xing said, looking glum.
Ning Ran felt amused.
Dabao was not acceptive of Nan Xing. He looked down on Nan Xing’s cocky attitude.
No matter how hard Nan Xing tried to please Dabao, he seemed to be unreceptive at all.
The worse it gets, the more eager Nan Xing wanted to get Dabao’s approval. He tried even harder than before.
But the harder Nan Xing tried, the more pompous it seemed and Dabao disliked him even more.
During the meal, Dabao did not eat much. After he was done eating, he crossed his arms and watched his sister eating greedily.
Erbao was in a great mood and was binge eating.
“Ning Sihan, stop eating so much. You’re going to overeat soon!” Ning Ran reminded her.
Erbao immediately placed her cutlery down, set up straight and answered, “I have a small appetite. I am still graceful.”
Nan Xing couldn’t hold back his laughter. He really liked this daughter a lot.
At this time, Ning Ran’s phone rang.
It was a message from Luo Fei which said: I know where is the disk drive that your mother is searching for.
Ning Ran shivered. Why would Luo Fei know that her mother was searching for a lost drive when she was still around?
Meanwhile, Luo Fei sent her yet another message: If you want the disk drive, meet me at the Blue Club.
……
It was 11pm at night in the Blue Club.
Luo Fei was in a bad mood today. Before Ning Ran arrived, she had already drank quite a lot.
Upon seeing Ning Ran, she got even angrier. Her mood plummeted.
“How did you know that my mother was looking for a hard drive when she was alive?” Ning Ran directly questioned her.
Luo Fei let out a cold laugh, “I know a lot of things. I know whatever you know but you do not know whatever I know.”
“That hard drive was left behind by my mother for me. Return it to me.”
“Do you think I will return it to you so easily?”
“What do you want then?”
“Ning Ran, you’re so despicable. You can’t get Nan Chen for yourself so now you’re trying to seduce Nan Xing? Receiving flowers and diamonds, who are you trying to show it to?” Every word that came out of Luo Fei’s mouth was full of hatred.
Ning Ran laughed, “I am trying to show it to you. Are you jealous?”
“Cheap!” Luo Fei exclaimed angrily.
“No. You have to agree first. Else, I will not give it to you.”
“I know that you do not trust me but neither do I. How can you prove to me that you really have my mother’s belongings?”
Luo Fei fished out her phone and showed Ning Ran a picture of a disk drive.
Ning Ran did not see the disk drive before so she would not know whether it was real or not.
But given her current situation, all she could do was to choose to compromise in order to get the disk drive back.
She had to first get what her mother left behind. She could not care much about what might happen in the future.
“I will have to make arrangements. You should know where I stand in the Nan family. It isn’t as easy for me to leave as I wish.”
“Rest assured. I will help you to execute the necessary plans. As long as you promise to leave, I will give you the disk drive.”
“What do you plan to do? Where are you making me go?”
“The Nan family is too powerful. I will have to send you and your vile spawns to a place where no one can ever find you.” Luo Fei sneered
“What kind of place is that?”
Ning Ran knew how vicious Luo Fei could get. But she had no idea where Luo Fei would send her to.
“When the time comes, you will naturally find out. But no matter what it is, no one from the Nan family will ever look for you again. You can live peacefully with your evil spawns for the rest of your life. I am not taking your lives away. It is already good enough. You have a tragic fate. Being able to survive is already a lucky thing for you. You’re not destined to marry into the Nan family to enjoy such pleasures of life. Only I do!”
The thought of Ning Ran disappearing from Flower City forever made her extremely jovial.
Ning Ran did not rebut. She only smiled at her.
She thought to herself. If I do not have such a fate, you wouldn’t have either.
Five years ago I did whatever you told me to. Now five years later, you’re still trying to manipulate me? Not in your life!
