Chapter 93: The Beauty's Rescue
Luo had already learned about Ah Kui's situation from Ning's aunt, and now she calmly stepped forward, gently blocking Ah Kui in front of Ning's mother, subtly separating them. She slightly tilted her head, smiled, and asked Ning's mother: "Hui Xin, is this your friend?"
Ah Gui saw Su Luo intimately place her hand on Ning's mother's elbow, the two people standing together, not only in age but also in appearance, very matching. In his heart, he suspected that this person might be Ning Hui Xin's ex-husband, but still unwillingly asked Su Luo: "What is your relationship with Ah Xin?"
"This is my mom, this is my dad! What's wrong? Ning Qingming originally stood with her grandmother and took a step forward, standing to Su Luo's right side, holding Su Luo's arm and mischievously looking at Ah Gui: "Was it you who sent a text message to my mom? Causing my dad to be jealous?"
"Xiao Min, you must be polite when speaking to others!" Su Luo smiled faintly, with a benevolent fatherly air.
Ning's mother saw Ning Qing and Su Luo acting like father and daughter, knew that this matter could be left to them to handle, and couldn't help but smile secretly.
A Gui took one look at Ning Qing and saw how much she resembled her mother, it was clear that they were mother and daughter. Now that they were speaking like this, A Gui's thoughts became even more resolute, and her face flushed red as she asked: "Ah Xin, didn't you say you got divorced?"
"I've just remarried!" Ning Qingming pretended to answer truthfully, seeing Ah Gui's face turn red, standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do, secretly sneaking a laugh.
"Let's go, we still have to eat dinner!" Ning's grandmother, seeing that Ah Kui had been taken care of, was overjoyed and pulled Ning Qingmian forward, wanting to let Ning's mother and Su Luo cultivate their feelings slowly in the back.
"Haha, Mom will take care of him and he won't bother you again. Thanks to Uncle Su for his cooperation earlier!" Ning Qing said with a tone as if she was talking about her own family.
Given her mother's experience and age, the opportunity to meet a suitable and sincere partner is actually not many, so Ning Qingmin was also delighted for her mother when she saw Su Luo, and like her grandmother, she couldn't wait for her mother to agree to Su Luo as soon as possible.
There are men by your side and no men by your side. In the end, there is still a difference in how mom feels about Su Luo, after all, people reach middle age. When it comes to emotions, they can't let go like young people do. They always think too much. Worries weigh heavily on their minds.
The group of people didn't end up going to Su Luo's home. As Ning's mom thought it wasn't necessary to visit the house yet, she insisted on eating out instead. So Su Luo took everyone to Seafood City.
"I heard that this seafood city only has three private rooms with beautiful women, I'm afraid they are already fully booked. Let's just take a random private room and eat instead." Ning Qingming saw Su Luo ask the waiter for a private room with beautiful women, so he advised her.
Su Luo smiled and said: "Since you're here, you have to see it for yourself. First, ask if there's still one that hasn't recovered!"
"Sir, I'm really sorry. You need to make a reservation in advance to enter the VIP room. And you also need to have a local noble card to get in." The waiter smiled and explained after hearing Su Luo's request to go to the VIP room. "We just opened not long ago, so it's possible that you don't know our rules. Really sorry!"
The waiter said so. Su Luo looked at Ning's mother and others with embarrassment, "It seems that we can't pick beautiful women to catch fish. We can only order fish according to the menu."
"Just grab a table and eat, no need to make it so complicated." Ning's mom saw Su Luo looking embarrassed and smiled: "Can't even get the beauty discount, but at least we'll save money for next time!"
Su Luo heard that Ning's mother hadn't eaten yet, so she made a reservation for the next time. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles as she said to the waiter: "Then arrange an ordinary private room for us!"
"Xiao Ning! Are you guys coming to eat?" Someone on the other side greeted Qingming.
Ning Qingmin hadn't even turned around, but hearing Du Hu's voice made his heart skip a beat. Since the last time he got injured and went home, Du Hu had called once to ask about him, but Ning was asleep at the time, so it was his mom who answered the phone instead. She just said that Ning was fine now, and after that, they hadn't been in touch again. It seemed like Du Hu had forgotten about him too. Now, hearing his voice suddenly made Ning feel a little afraid to turn around and look at him, fearing that he might accidentally reveal his longing.
No matter what, I have to greet him. Ning Qingming lightly turned around, facing Du Huo's line of sight, seeing him smiling faintly, handsome to the point where one can't move their eyes away, his gaze seemed to take care of everyone, yet also seemed to only stay on himself, making people suffocate.
Du Huajia saw Ning Qing looking at herself, and a ripple rose in the depths of her eyes, but it was calm again in an instant. She smiled and greeted Ning's mother and grandmother.
"Do you want to go into the VIP room?" Du Hujia, who had just heard Su Luo's words, turned his head and said to Su Luo: "I'm treating clients to dinner, I've booked two VIP rooms, and one is empty, so go ahead and use it, don't waste it."
As soon as Su Luo saw Du Huo Guan was Ning Qing's friend, he hastily extended his hand to shake hands and greeted him.
Ning Qingmin controlled herself and didn't look at Du Huajia's face, instead looking at the hand that was clasped with Su Luo's. The fingers were long and powerful, with rounded fingernails that shone with a healthy glow, but the back of his hand was very thick. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of how this hand had measured her foot size that day.
God
Du was speaking at home when the waiter had already recognized him and hurriedly called out the minister. The minister accompanied by a smile said: "Director Du, it turned out to be your friend, sorry for the delay!"
"It's okay, you let someone lead him up." Du Huajia smiled and said: "I still have to go out to the entrance to pick up a foreign client, he won't recognize the way."
The waiter was busy leading Ning's mom upstairs, Ning Qing saw Du Huo's eyes seemingly intentionally and unintentionally looking at his feet, hesitated for a moment, stayed behind Ning's mom and didn't follow up, saying to Du Huo: "My foot is fine now, last time you called me I was sleeping, later thought of calling back but afraid you were busy, so didn't call."
"Ah, it's nothing!" Du Huajia glanced at Ning Qingmian's feet and saw that she was wearing high-heeled shoes. He nodded and said, "Your feet are just right, best to wear flat shoes." As he spoke, he walked out while covering his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times.
Ning Qingmin was about to go upstairs when he heard Du Hu's cough and turned his head back, calling out, "Director Du..."
"Hmm!" Du Huo Jia stopped in his tracks and interrupted Qing Mian's words, saying: "Is the name Huo Jia hard to hear?"
"Hmm!" Ning Qing said with a smile, "It doesn't sound bad!" In her heart, she added another sentence, not only didn't it sound bad, but also very familiar!
"My name isn't hard to pronounce, so why do you insist on calling me Director Du?" Du Huajia raised an eyebrow. "You're not even my employee, what's with the 'Director Du' all day? Is it that hard to call me Huajia?"
Calling home seems too intimate, right? Ning Qing's face turned slightly red, and she was a little angry with herself for being so thin-skinned, her face would flush at the slightest thing, it didn't seem like a modern person at all.
"By the way, what were you just going to say to me?" Du Jia saw Ning Qing's face turn red and looked at her with a smile.
"It's hot, you should get someone to brew some iced tea for you. I just heard you coughing, probably too much heat. Also, don't eat too much seafood." Ning Qingming quickly finished speaking, and then felt that she was being too concerned about the other person, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.
"These past few days have been busy, I haven't returned to the mansion and haven't even had a chance to drink some cooling tea!" Du Hu's family looked at Ning Qingmian with a hint of a smile, "Do you know how to brew cooling tea?"
"Really! I'll cook it for you to drink!" Ning Qingming blurted out, and as soon as the words left her mouth, she couldn't take them back. She harshly reflected on herself - why did she speak without thinking? Clearly, she wanted to keep a distance from him, yet she said something like that.
"See you tomorrow night at Liang Cha!" Du Hu's face was full of smiles, and before Ning Qing could say anything else, he had already taken a few steps out the door.
"It's not necessarily that you have to brew your own iced tea, you can also drink it outside." Ning Qingming finished speaking and didn't see Du Huajia's shadow anymore. She stood there stupidly for a while, unable to figure out her thoughts, as if she was hesitant about whether to welcome or reject Du Huajia.
"Xiao Min, why aren't you coming up?" Ning's mom called out at the staircase entrance, and Ning Qingmin hastily followed her up.
Inside the beautiful woman's fishing net room, everyone started ordering seafood and laughed that Haixian City's tactic of using beauties to lure fish was too novel.
That's why it's called "Beauty Catch", because inside the private room, there is a large transparent cabinet like an aquarium, where seafood swims freely. Customers who want to order stand in front of the transparent cabinet and point at a certain fish saying: "I want that one." Then, the waiter quickly notes down the number of the fish and asks a beauty wearing a swimsuit to dive in and catch the fish. During this process, the beauty intentionally makes some thrilling moves as if fighting with the fish, finally catching it and holding it up out of the water.
The beauty swims happily in the transparent cabinet, where swimming is not a problem. Swimming here, catching fish and getting paid, sometimes encountering big bosses, and even tips, it's simply too cool. With this coolness, the smile shines brighter, making her even more beautiful, so the mermaid's big battle becomes even more thrilling.
Ning Qing saw the beautiful woman catching fish with a hundred different techniques, and knew that this meal would definitely cost over several thousand yuan. He just didn't know how much Su Luo Yue's salary was, and if one meal would take up his entire month's pay, he wondered if it would hurt him. Turning back, he saw him chatting and laughing with his mother, completely unbothered by the expense, and couldn't help but smile. Since they had come here, they should be able to afford it anyway.
"Huishen, this is delicious, you try some!" Su Luo handed the dish to Ning's mother with a very natural attitude.
Ning's grandma poked Ning Qingmian under the table, eating her food calmly and secretly enjoying herself.
Ning Qingmin looked at Su Luo's man, not bad, but when he saw him exchanging affectionate glances with his mother, he suddenly felt a little lost. If his mother became a family with him, she would definitely move out and live with him together. He didn't want to let her go, what to do? But there was no reason to monopolize his mother and not let her be happy! Originally, he was excited to match them up, but now that it had come to this point, he felt reluctant. His mother was living a good life with him, why did she have to marry her off?
As she thought about it, Ning Qingmin suddenly realized that she was being a bit selfish. Wasn't her mother stopping her from interacting with the Du family, and now she herself wanted to monopolize her, not letting her be with Su Luo?
