Ning Lian could not show her displeasure on her face. She could only smile and walk towards Ning Xiang.

"Big Sister, you guys are so late. I thought you weren't coming."

Ning Xiang smiled faintly. "How can that be? I still have to thank my sister for the necklace. My sister-in-law's labrador likes it very much."

The eldest sister-in-law chuckled. "Uh huh. My dog wanted to thank you. I asked someone to walk the dog near your place, but they didn't manage to catch you around."

Ning Lian's expression cracked and twisted for a moment.

Of course, she saw it. When she did, she wanted to kill the dog, but there was no need.

She looked at Ning Xiang and sneered in her heart. It didn't matter. It wasn't worth it to be angry with someone whose reputation was going to be ruined tonight.

Ning Lian quickly adjusted her expression and said with a fake smile, "I'm glad my big sister likes the necklace. There are lots of fine food at the banquet. Big Sister, you should eat more since you usually don't get to eat them."

What she meant was that Ning Xiang had never seen the world. It was not easy for her to attend such a banquet. Just the food was enough to broaden her horizons.

Ning Xiang nodded. "Thank you for your concern. You should eat more too. Otherwise, you might not have the appetite later."

Ning Xiang ignored her and went to find Liu Bai.

Ning Lian looked behind her. The men from elite families surrounding her previously had all moved closer to Ning Xiang.

Ning Zhuo saw that his sister did not look well and walked over worriedly. "Lianlian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ning Lian paused for a moment. She pressed her abdomen and said reluctantly, "Maybe I haven't recovered completely yet. My stomach hurts a little but I'm fine."

The piece of pork ribs that Ning Lian had eaten was not a problem in itself, so it was not necessary for her to go to the hospital to pump her stomach.

After the affair, Ning Lian ate something bad and made herself sick, but she blamed it on Ning Xiang.

She was no longer sick and only pretended from time to time.

Ning Zhuo did not have a brain and would believe whatever she said.

Seeing Ning Lian so haggard and uncomfortable while Ning Xiang was happy, Ning Zhuo couldn't sit still.

He brought Ning Lian over and forcefully interrupted the conversation. He sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to have the cheek to show your face here. Lianlian has fallen ill because of you. Not only did you not apologize, but you can even laugh?"

The scene suddenly became quiet. Ning Xiang looked at Ning Lian's pale face and smiled. "You make me feel sorry for you. You don't have the ability, so you use others to help you out."

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but raise his voice. "Ning Xiang, you better not go overboard!"

This attracted more people's attention. When Ning Shi saw Ning Xiang, he frowned and walked over.

"Overboard?" A deep voice sounded. Fu Ze pulled Ning Xiang into his arms and looked at Ning Zhuo. "You're an idiot who can't sense that you've been used. What right do you have to point fingers at my wife?"

Ning Shi laughed and said, "President Fu, it's normal for juniors to fight. Besides, my son wouldn't make things difficult for Ning Xiang for no reason. I understand that you're protecting your wife, but you have to be fair, right?"

Ning Zheng held a glass of wine and said sarcastically, "Besides, Ning Xiang isn't worthy of your protection. I believe you know that the land in the east of the city is a hot mess for whoever gets involved. If it weren't for Ning Xiang, the Fu family wouldn't be losing so much money."

Everyone's gaze turned to Fu Ze again, but Fu Ze was unexpectedly calm.

"It's just money. My family can afford it. As long as my wife is happy, anything goes." Fu Ze paused and looked at Ning Zheng disdainfully. "Besides, the official news hasn't been released yet. How can you be so sure that I will lose money?"

Ning Shi smiled. "I admire your confidence, but everyone in town knows about this and my friend has always been very reliable. Although the official news hasn't been released, I'm sure it's going to happen."

As they conversed, the noise in the hall gradually grew louder, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Ning Shi was not surprised. It was 7:30 pm now, and the official news had just been released. He said confidently, "The news has been released. If you don't believe me, why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Fu Ze did not take his phone. Instead, Ning Shi's assistant rushed over.

"President Ning, look at this!"

The headlines read that the government supported the renovation and construction in the east of the city. A lot of funding and exemptions would be pumped into the land, so the profit of investing in this place was at least 30 times.

Ning Shi froze.

Ning Xiang took a sip of wine and asked Ning Shi with a knowing smile, "Is your friend called Zheng Yuan?"
