Chapter 196: Bring Her

Ning Li’s eyelashes fluttered gently.

In the next second, something was shoved into her palm.

She froze slightly.

Lu Huaiyu had already let go of her hand.

“I wanted to give this to you when you arrived, but you never came, so I had to come over.”

Ning Li opened her palm and saw a golden foil-wrapped spherical hazelnut praline chocolate candy.

She suppressed the slight ripples in her heart and said, “Thanks, Second Brother.”

Lu Huaiyu had never mentioned anything about hosting a party before this, so even she was stunned.

“Let’s go, Uncle Cheng and the others are waiting.”

Lu Huaiyu tightened his jacket around her as he said that.

Ning Li was already slim, so with his jacket draped over her, she looked even smaller.

It was almost winter in Yunzhou, so it was especially cold at night. It was fine to wear very light clothing in the hotel because of the heating, but it was cold when they walked outside.

Ning Li nodded and followed him out of the Jinsheng Hotel.

…

The Grand Hyatt was a bigger and more luxurious hotel that was just across the street from Jinsheng. It was also a landmark building in the whole of Yunzhou.

Just as Lu Huaiyu brought Ning Li to the entrance, someone immediately came forward to greet them. “Second Master, Ms. Ning.”

Lu Huaiyu nodded gently and looked at Ning Li again. “Are you cold?”

Ning Li shook her head.

The temperature outside was indeed low, but the two hotels were only separated by one street. It had not been a long walk, so she felt fine.

“Little Ning Li, you’re finally here!”

Cheng Xiyue walked towards them and smiled as he teased. “I was wondering what was taking Second Master Lu so long to pick you up. I thought that maybe he had abducted you.”

Lu Huaiyu gave him a sidelong glance. “Nonsense. The Ye family were having a party. Since I was there, it was only right for me to congratulate them.”

Cheng Xiyue rubbed his chin as he thought, ‘Tsk tsk… What is he even saying? If not for him, half of the Ye family’s guest list wouldn’t be here. He was even hosting the banquet right across from Jinsheng as a blatant slap to their faces. Congratulate them, my *ss…’

He was surprised that Ye Ming had not gotten a heart attack from the anger.

It was bad enough to offend Lu Huaiyu, but today, Cheng Xiyue had found out that offending Ning Li was even worse.

With the mind games Lu Huaiyu liked to play, he knew just how to torment the Ye family.

The entire Yunzhou would know about both parties today.

By then, the Ye family would become the laughing stock of the city.

Ning Li said, “Brother Xiyue, I’m sorry to have kept you guys waiting.”

Cheng Xiyue laughed and said, “I’m just kidding. You’re the star of the day, so everyone can’t wait to see you! Let’s go and show them what it’s like to be number one in the provincial physics competition!”

…

At the VIP banquet hall on the ninth floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

As Ning Li entered with Lu Huaiyu and Cheng Xiyue, she saw many familiar faces.
