Chapter 52 - Attending the Banquet

The side branch of the Ning family had always been show-offs, unlike the main branch, that kept a low profile.

The side branch was not qualified to stay in the old manor, so they stayed in the most expensive villa area in the city, Mount Cloud.

The area of the villa was almost twice that of the old manor, and the decorations were extremely luxurious.

Anyone who had been here before would feel the decline of the Ning family’s old manor at the same time.

Today was supposed to be a family banquet, but there were still many close friends of the Ning family’s second son. They were all socialites and famous people.

Qin Yu got out of the car and obediently held Ning Chen’s arm. She said softly, “Brother, it’s so big here. It’s like a castle.”

Ning Chen smiled. “Do you like castles?”

Qin Yu shook her head. “I will get lost. Our home is still the best.”

Ning Chen smiled and held her hand.

The butler at the door quickly went up to greet him. “Eldest Young Master, you’re here.”

Ning Chen’s smile had disappeared at some point. He said calmly, “Ah Jiang, this is my wife.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ah Jiang quickly smiled apologetically. “So it’s Eldest Young Madam. I apologize for my lack of respect. Please come in. Please come in.”

Qin Yu did not expect that the competition had already begun from here.

Qin Yu gently reminded Ning Chen of the steps and the scenery on both sides. They looked very intimate and harmonious.

Ning Yu walked up and greeted, “Big Brother and Sister-in-law!” His gaze fell on Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was wearing an aqua blue dress today which was simple and elegant. Her beautiful short hair and light makeup made her stand out next to Ning Chen. She looked young and refined, very pleasing to the eye.

Thinking about how he had been set up for no reason yesterday, he couldn’t help but wonder, was this woman really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

Qin Yu smiled sweetly at him. “Second Young Master, where’s my sister? Is she okay?”

Ning Yu’s breathing stopped. “Does Sister-in-law not know about your own sister? You two sisters are very close. Didn’t you call to ask about her?”

Qin Yu stuck out her tongue. “I went out for dinner with Brother yesterday and had a good time. I only thought of her when I saw you today.”

Ning Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Where’s Second Uncle?” Ning Chen asked.

Ning Yu had no choice but to temporarily drop this topic. He said, “In the VIP room in the side hall, with a few city leaders.”

Ning Yu’s tone was filled with arrogance and smugness.

“Oh? Then I’ll go and say hello to Second Uncle, “Ning Chen said.

“I’ll accompany you, Big Brother, “Ning Yu said.

Qin Yu held Ning Chen’s arm and tagged along.

Ning Yu said, “Sister-in-law, my mother, some aunties, and a few ladies are all in the Flower Hall. Should I let you bring you there to have fun?”

Qin Yu got closer to Ning Chen and tilted her head as she said, “Don’t wanna! I want to be with Big Brother. I’m Big Brother’s eyes!”

Ning Yu looked at her in surprise. It was happening again!

Ning Chen said gently, “Let Xiao Yu follow me. I’m not at ease with her alone.”

Ning Yu looked at Ning Chen’s unfocused eyes and said calmly, “Big Brother and Sister-in-law really have a deep relationship!”

Ning Chen and Ning Yu looked at each other. However, his gaze was scattered and there was no threat. His voice was also very calm. “Yes, she doesn’t even mind that I’m blind. She even wants to be my eyes. This sincerity is enough to move me.”

He took a step forward. Qin Yu cast a glance at Ning Yu and proudly supported Ning Chen as they walked forward.

Ning Yu could not help but clench his fists and follow them.

Ning Jie was having a lively conversation with a few municipal government officials when Ning Yu pushed the door open and whispered a few words into his ear.

Ning Jie smiled and said, “Ning Chen is here? Quickly let him in! It just so happens that a few leaders are here. Let’s have a chat together.”

Ning Yu answered and went to open the door.

Someone already said, “President Ning, Ning Yu is a very good young man. He has a good appearance and I heard that he is also very capable. I think the Ning family has a lot of talented people, their future is limitless.”

Someone echoed, “Yeah, the Ning family is great at nurturing the future generation!”

Ning Chen and Qin Yu walked in slowly.

“Hey, Ning Chen, over here. I’m over here!” Ning Jie’s voice was very loud. His voice reminded everyone that Ning Chen was blind.

Qin Yu’s ears buzzed and her face turned pale. She had heard this voice before.

Her fingers that were supporting Ning Chen’s arm could not help but tighten.

Ning Chen tilted his head slightly.

“Hey, Ning Chen, is this the little wife that your grandfather wedded you to?” Ning Jie laughed loudly.

Ning Chen bowed. “Second Uncle.”

Qin Yu quickly followed suit and bowed. “Second Uncle.”

“Good, good, good. She’s quite pretty! Your grandfather has always favored you!” Ning Jie’s voice rang with glee.

Someone immediately echoed, “Oldies are all like this. The youngest son and eldest grandson have a special bond!”

Ning Jie nodded in agreement. “Mm, that makes a lot of sense. Our Ning Chen is the apple of my uncle’s eye!”

Ning Chen listened quietly and did not say anything.

Suddenly, someone asked, “Where is this young lady from? Why does she look familiar?”

This question was directed at Qin Yu!
