"Xiaobing, I swear, everything I said is true." Han Ning raised his hand and vowed.
Xia Yanbing was a bit dazed. So, the hero in her heart was truly Han Ning.
"Ah, so it was Little Han. I said, who else would protect my Xiaobing without any reason?" Dong Jinsu said happily.
Xia Yujiang said, "Xiaobing, Little Han is genuinely devoted to you. Using Liu Zhanyuan and Dong Zhiping’s kindness , I’m moved."
"Xiaobing, aren’t you going to thank Little Han quickly?" Dong Jinsu placed a wineglass in Xia Yanbing’s hand.
Xia Yanbing felt a bit disappointed. The hero in her heart didn’t have to be as handsome as in her dreams, bathed in radiant light, but he definitely wasn’t someone like Han Ning.
However, she also understood the weight of Liu Zhanyuan and Dong Zhiping’s favor. It could be used to hold onto the Han Family or save a life in a critical moment. She didn’t expect Han Ning to use it just to help her. She didn’t like Han Ning, but moving forward, she could regard him as a friend.
Xia Yanbing lifted her wineglass, "Han Ning, thank you!"
"Xiaobing, there’s no need to say that to me. For you, I’m willing to do anything." Han Ning lifted his glass and said affectionately.
"Little Han just looks likable, unlike some useless people. If they encountered such a situation, that useless person probably couldn’t even kneel and beg for mercy." Dong Jinsu was extremely harsh and vicious towards Qin Yi.
Xia Yanbing frowned slightly, just about to drink the wine in her glass when suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Who could it be at this late hour?" Xia Yujiang muttered, asking the servant to open the door.
Qin Yi didn’t wish to see Han Ning’s act anymore. It was sickening; he and Qin Wan’er returned to their room.
"Brother, don’t be angry. That Han Ning helped sister-in-law; she was helpless." Qin Wan’er whispered.
"I’m not angry. I’m just thinking about what we’ll eat tonight. The meal downstairs doesn’t include us, so how do we fill our bellies?" Qin Yi laughed. How could he be angry at someone like Han Ning? He wouldn’t stoop that low.
Qin Wan’er sighed with relief, glad her brother wasn’t angry, and said with a smile, "Brother, I have instant noodles in my room. Do you want some?"
"Sure, instant noodles are nice too."
"I’ll go get it." Qin Wan’er went to her room to fetch the noodles.
Downstairs, the Xia Family’s servant opened the door to see a couple standing outside. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman had an elegant demeanor, clearly not ordinary people.
"May I ask who you’re looking for?" the servant inquired.
"Is this the Xia Family?" the man asked.
Xia Yujiang called from the dining room, "Who is it? Invite them in."
The man and woman walked in.
Besides Dong Jinsu, the other three people at the table were stunned.
Xia Yujiang stood up abruptly, exclaiming in shock, "President Dong?"
This man and woman were none other than Dong Zhiping and Yan Yutong.
"And you are?" Dong Zhiping didn’t recognize Xia Yujiang.
"I’m Xia Yujiang, we met at a party once." Xia Yujiang smiled fawningly, surprised that Dong Zhiping would come to his house.
Dong Zhiping smiled. He had met too many people and had no impression of Xia Yujiang.
"Mr. Xia, sorry for intruding unannounced." Dong Zhiping looked at Xia Yanbing and said.
Xia Yanbing snapped out of it, "President Dong, you’re too kind, please have a seat!"
"Who is this?" Dong Jinsu asked softly.
Xia Yujiang replied, "Dong Family’s Dong Zhiping."
Dong Jinsu was full of shock, and then a big smile appeared as she instructed the servant, "Quickly, serve tea to President Dong."
Dong Zhiping and Yan Yutong sat down.
Han Ning’s face turned pale. He had just pretended to be the one who helped Xia Yanbing. He didn’t expect Dong Zhiping to appear suddenly. If he got exposed, it would be a disaster for him.
"President Dong, long time no see!" Han Ning hurried over to greet.
Dong Zhiping looked surprised, "And you are?"
"My dad is Han Gang." Han Ning quickly responded.
Dong Zhiping squinted slightly. He had some impression of Han Gang, having met a few times. But seeing Qin Yi and his sister absent at the table and another outsider instead was intriguing.
"President Dong, please have some tea!" Dong Jinsu smiled akin to a madam in a brothel, personally serving tea to Dong Zhiping.
"President Dong, this is my mom." Xia Yanbing introduced.
"Unexpectedly, I share the same surname with President Dong. It’s an honor. Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago." Dong Jinsu’s smile was immensely ingratiating.
Dong Zhiping smiled faintly. He had heard about how Xia Yujiang’s family treated Qin Yi before.
"Hello, everyone. I am Yan Yutong, Zhiping’s wife." Yan Yutong introduced herself gracefully.
Dong Jinsu did not notice Dong Zhiping’s indifference towards her. She smiled and said, "President Dong, have you eaten? Join us for a meal?"
"No, thank you. We’ve already eaten." Dong Zhiping replied indifferently.
Xia Yanbing curiously asked, "President Dong, is there something you need here?"
"I’m here to see my sister." Dong Zhiping smiled.
Xia Yanbing was surprised, "Who is President Dong’s sister?"
"Qin Wan’er." Dong Zhiping looked around and asked, "Where is Wan’er?"
Xia Yujiang and the others were all stunned. They thought Dong Zhiping came for Xia Yanbing, but it turned out he was here for Qin Wan’er. And since when did Qin Wan’er become Dong Zhiping’s sister?
"Isn’t Wan’er here?" Dong Zhiping asked.
Xia Yanbing quickly said, "She is, Wan’er is in her room."
"Is that Wan’er over there?" As Xia Yanbing finished speaking, Yan Yutong turned and spoke with a smile, looking towards the staircase.
Dong Zhiping turned around and indeed saw Qin Wan’er. The little girl was holding two boxes of instant noodles, sneaking up the stairs.
Dong Zhiping burst out laughing and called, "Wan’er?"
Qin Wan’er’s body stiffened. She had already seen Dong Zhiping, but noticing him talking with the Xia Family, she planned to sneak upstairs and tell her brother, waiting to return his clothes when leaving. Unexpectedly, she was caught.
Qin Wan’er approached with the noodles, timidly calling, "Brother Dong."
"Is this Wan’er?" Yan Yutong spoke warmly, smiling as she looked at Qin Wan’er, "Such a beautiful girl indeed."
Qin Wan’er looked at Yan Yutong and suddenly widened her eyes, "Are you Teacher Yan Yutong?"
"Do you know me?" Yan Yutong was a bit surprised.
Qin Wan’er quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I’ve seen your performance. You were so beautiful when playing the piano. Many of my classmates are your fans; I am too."
Yan Yutong was known for her beauty and piano skills, being quite famous.
Yan Yutong walked over, gently taking Qin Wan’er’s hand, saying softly, "I didn’t expect to have such a lovely young fan. Come, sit with us."
Qin Wan’er’s mind was spinning dizzily, never expecting to meet her idol in person and even hold her hand.
"What’s this?" Yan Yutong looked curiously at the two packets of instant noodles in Qin Wan’er’s hand.
Qin Wan’er lowered her head, embarrassed, and hid the noodles behind her.
"Haven’t you eaten yet?" Yan Yutong asked softly.
Qin Wan’er nodded gently.
Yan Yutong asked curiously, "I saw quite a few dishes on the table just now. Why are you eating instant noodles?"
