Chapter 76: Two Distinguished Guests

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Ning Family was still under the control of Mr. Ning. Although Mr. Ning loved Ning Ruian, he did not want her to get involved in business disputes. Therefore, he paid more attention to nurturing Ning Ruian’s elder brother, Ning Hong, in the family business.

Ning Hong loved his sister very much. Therefore, as long as it was what his sister wanted, he would give it to her at any cost.

Everyone thought that Ning Hong was the future heir, and Ning Ruian was just a useless young lady. However, she actually had great ambitions, but she had been lying low.

All of this was known only to Song Nuanyi, who had been reborn. Wu Chaotian did not know this, so he was still actively trying to work with Ning Hong. Unfortunately, Ning Hong did not care about the planning and scheming of the Wu Family, so he never paid any attention to him.

Wu Chaotian was only surprised for a moment before he quickly composed himself. As if he already knew that the two of them were coming, he calmly went up to greet them.

“I’ve heard from Nuanyi that you’ve invited two distinguished guests. So it’s the two of you. Please, come in!”

Hearing Wu Chaotian’s lie and flattery, Song Nuanyi felt a wave of contempt in her heart. As expected of the most cunning person in the Wu Family. This kind of nonsense came out of his mouth without a hint of guilt.

Smith responded to him warmly, but Ning Hong was expressionless and only nodded politely.

Smith saw Song Nuanyi behind Wu Chaotian and excitedly went up to hug her. He complained with a hint of a joke in his tone, “Oh, my dear, why are you here? My people walked around the airport a few times. If you hadn’t sent me a message, I would have scolded them for not doing their job well.”

Song Nuanyi pretended to feel wronged and joked, “Please don’t. If you scold them, they might scold me in their hearts.”

Then, she laughed out loud.

Smith laughed and said, “How can that be? They wouldn’t dare.”

Ning Hong, who was behind her, did not say anything. Song Nuanyi took the initiative to go up and greet him. Only then did Ning Hong respond.

His attitude toward Song Nuanyi was completely different from his attitude toward Wu Chaotian. A discerning person could tell at a glance that Ning Hong was more biased toward Song Nuanyi.

What was going on?

Wu Chaotian did not remember any dealings between the Song Family and the Ning Family. Moreover, the Song Family did not set up a branch office in Alberto City. How did they know each other?

A series of questions swirled in his mind, but now was not the time to dwell on these questions.

Wu Chaotian instructed the butler to prepare tea and snacks for the guests, while he enthusiastically chatted with the two uninvited guests.

Song Nuanyi knew what he was thinking, and took the initiative to steer the topic away. Fortunately, Smith and she were on good terms, and he was willing to communicate with her first.

Smith asked about the incident at the airport. She glanced at Wu Chaotian and intentionally helped him hide the truth of being tricked into coming. Instead, she said that she had something urgent to discuss with Wu Chaotian, which was why she could not go to Smith’s banquet first.

Wu Chaotian interjected, “Yes, I wanted to discuss the project with Miss Song, but I didn’t expect Miss Song to invite you.”

Ning Hong, who was beside her, snorted coldly.

Song Nuanyi sent him a message saying that Wu Chaotian had used Smith’s identity to trick her into the Wu Family, hoping that he would come and pick her up.

Ning Hong believed her because she had done his sister a favor.

Before coming to the Capital, Song Nuanyi had sent people to keep an eye on Ning Ruian.

She remembered that in her previous life, Ning Ruian had been drugged and raped. At that time, she could not find the person behind it, and only after many years did she find out that it was actually Xue Na and Wu Chaotian.

Xue Na was hell-bent on destroying all the people who might be connected to Wu Chenjing through marriage, so she did everything she could.

In this life, she had sent people to save Ning Ruian in time, and she had become good friends with Ning Ruian. As for her sister’s benefactor, Ning Hong was naturally biased.

As for Smith, she mentioned in her text message that she wanted to discuss a collaboration with the Wu Family and hoped that Mr. Smith could also participate.

Smith planned to invest in a family doctor artificial intelligence robot. This project was only known to them internally.

From her previous life, she knew that a team of doctors that they worked with betrayed them and stole the core technology, causing the project to fail.

It was a good project, and once it succeeded, they would have an immeasurable impact on a global scale.
