Chapter 285: Chapter 198: Three Won Under One Roof – Part 2
Chen Cheng also noticed Wen Shulin’s reaction.
He picked up a piece of spare rib and placed it in Wen Shulin’s bowl, “Xiao Er specifically added this dish for you, didn’t you say last ti that you liked it?”
Xiao ier nodded repeatedly, “Right, Sister Lin! I also followed your suggestion and asked the kitchen to reduce the amount of coffee powder, and replaced it with freshly ground coffee.”
Wen Shulin smiled faintly, “Good, I’ll give it another try.”
Coffee spare ribs is an upgraded version of sweet and sour spare ribs.
Originally deliciously sweet and sour, the spare ribs beca richer and more unique with the addition of coffee.
After taking a light taste, Wen Shulin’s previously sowhat stiff expression eased a bit, “It is indeed much tastier.”
She wiped the corner of her mouth and turned to look at ng Wanning.
“Miss ng, I just heard Mr. Chen say that you can also sing opera?”
Xiao ier spared no complints, “Xiao ng is amazing!”
ng Wanning: “I’m a Qingyi from the Cheng School, ntored by Cui Xiaoling.”
Wen Shulin’s brows lifted slightly when she heard this na.
Seeing her reaction, ng Wanning asked, “Miss Wen, do you know my master?”
Wen Shulin slowly put down her chopsticks and said calmly:
“I don’t know Mr. Cui, it’s just that Mr. Jin has ntioned her reputation. She is a very famous Qingyi in the Beijing Opera world, and both her singing and performance are exceptional.”
Seeing that Wen Shulin held Cui Xiaoling in high regard, ng Wanning said with a hint of pride:
“Yes, my master is a true artist. Her passion for Beijing Opera and her spirit of striving for perfection have deeply influenced .”
“Miss ng, surely your own singing must be outstanding?” asked Wen Shulin.
ng Wanning was modest, “I am still far from my master’s level, but I am continuously learning and hoping to pass on the essence of the Cheng School Qingyi.”
Wen Shulin found herself increasingly unable to see through this girl.
She seed to have a unique quality, unlike the other won related to Chen Cheng, who all had clear purposes at the beginning.
Whether it was a desire for money or the pursuit of fa and fortune, none of that could be seen in ng Wanning.
She was like a clear spring, transparent to the bottom, untouched by a speck of dust.
And it was precisely this kind of self-contented existence that made Wen Shulin deeply unsettled, yet she couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
“By the way, after we finish eating, Mr. Chen, co with to CGG,” Wen Shulin said, looking down and fiddling with the food in her bowl.
“You’re eting the commissioner today?”
Wen Shulin shook her head, “Aren’t you looking for Nai Xue’s information? I can’t give it to you, but you can go see it.”
Chen Cheng nodded, “Okay.”
Xiao ier held up her tea cup, “Sister Lin, thank you so much.”
Wen Shulin resud her smile, also raising her cup, “Don’t ntion it.”
She looked at Xiao ier with sincere eyes, “Your affairs are my affairs.”
Xiao ier’s heart ward, and she said gratefully, “Sister Lin, you’re so good to .”
Wen Shulin smiled and said nothing more.
ng Wanning observed the way Xiao and Wen interacted, also unable to understand how Chen Cheng had managed to charm these two beautiful sisters.
“Find a chance to ask,” she thought to herself.
The al ended in such a delicate atmosphere.
Before leaving, Wen Shulin specifically walked up to ng Wanning and said with a smile:
“Miss ng, I’m very glad to et you today, and I hope to have the opportunity to hear you sing opera in the future.”
ng Wanning smiled faintly, “Then soday I’ll give the tickets to Sister, and she can pass them on to you.”
“That’s thoughtful of you.”
Chen Cheng: “Xiao Er, I’m going to CGG first.”
“Okay.” Xiao ier nodded, “You go ahead.”
After Wen Shulin and Chen Cheng left, ng Wanning asked Xiao ier, “Sister.”
“What’s the matter?”
“What is Miss Wen’s CGG about? She seems like a female boss.”
When Xiao ier heard this, she rembered that ng Wanning hadn’t been inford about Wen Shulin’s identity yet.
“Sister Lin, oh, she is amazing, a director at CGG.”
Xiao ier truly admired Wen Shulin, “CGG is that tallest building on Financial Street. Xiao Cheng says it’s a mainstay of dostic investnt.”
ng Wanning’s face showed sudden realization, but inside her, a storm was brewing.
“I had no idea Miss Wen was so young and already a director.”
“Isn’t it? And Sister Lin is especially righteous; she gave a card for her beauty salon not long ago and now is offering strategies for the opening of a branch.”
“Opening a branch?” ng Wanning asked curiously, “Is Wanbao Hall going to open a branch?”
Xiao ier briefly explained, and ng Wanning’s eyes widened.
“Mr. Chen, he’s got quite the ambition, doesn’t he?”
Xiao ier’s face was full of smiles, “He’s always capable of doing the unexpected.”
…
…
In the car, Chen Cheng saw Wen Shulin fall silent and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Wen Shulin pulled her thoughts back and turned to look at him with complex eyes.
“How far have you and she progressed?”
Chen Cheng’s smile faded a bit, “Progressed what?”
“Holding hands, dating, marriage, or…”
Wen Shulin turned her head to look at the scenery retreating outside the window, “I can feel that she likes you.”
Chen Cheng: “What’s gotten into you? You never used to be like this.”
Wen Shulin turned slightly, fixing her gaze on Chen Cheng’s eyes, “She is different from all your other won.”
“How is she different?”
“Your past dalliances, they all knew you because of money, i Xiang included.” Wen Shulin finally opened up,
“ng Wanning, the way she looks at you, it’s very pure. She likes you from the bottom of her heart.”
Chen Cheng reflected for a mont, and it seed that Wen Shulin wasn’t wrong.
From Xia Yubing, Tong Jialu onwards, they got involved out of desperation due to the missing forty million.
