Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Mysterious Irritability Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Mysterious Irritability Ning Xueling withdrew her gaze and turned to look at her two stepchildren, her eyes filled with irritation.
Today’s appearance here was all for her stepdaughter, Wei Hongyan, who knew where Wei Zixiong had managed to learn that her classmate Nie Wei had a relative who was related to the person Wei Hongyan wished to apprentice with, and had insisted on leveraging this connection.
Yesterday she had accompanied Nie Wei to pick up her daughter from the college entrance examination, and then treated mother and daughter to a al, and today she had arranged this Great Wall climb, all just to foster closer ties between the two families with the hope that Nie Wei could help facilitate a connection.
Yet she hadn’t expected to encounter Luo Haotian and his children here, and watching them laughing and talking together, a naless irritation rose within her.
Wei Hongyan approached Ning Xueling and said, “We’ve been playing around all day, when will you talk to her about Professor Nie?”
Ning Xueling was now so annoyed at the sight of her stepdaughter; the girl had no skills of her own and only wanted to take shortcuts, but those in the arts simply wouldn’t accept such underhanded thods.
With neither talent nor outstanding natural gifts, why should anyone take you as a disciple? Wasn’t that just making things difficult for others?
As they neared the bus stop, Ning Xueling finally asked, “Nie Wei, could you introduce us to your aunt, Professor Nie Yaxin?”
Nie Wei’s expression lost its previous affability and she asked, “Are you accompanying these past few days just to et my aunt?”
Ning Xueling spoke indifferently, “You know my situation. Hong Yan wants to study vocal music under Professor Nie, so I had no choice but to trouble you.”
Nie Wei said, “Introducing you is possible, but my aunt isn’t going to take soone as a disciple just because of my face, it all depends on whether you have the fate to be accepted.”
Ning Xueling said, “Understood, the opportunity to et Professor Nie is what matters, whether she takes her on or not will depend on her own abilities.”
After hearing this, Wei Hongyan fud internally, cursing, “What an idiot, what’s the use of just getting an opportunity to et her.”
But Ning Xueling didn’t care how she cursed her inwardly; after all, Wei Zixiong only said to let Nie Wei make the introduction, not that it had to be successful.
Ning Xueling didn’t hope for the endeavor to succeed; Wei Hongyan had never had much respect for her, never treated her with due deference, often being sarcastic toward her. If this really worked out, the girl would beco insufferably arrogant.
Nie Wei told them to wait for news and that she would call to inform them once she arranged a ti.
anwhile, Wei Zixiong was taking Zhao Jianing around a departnt store, buying her two sets of nice clothes in preparation for taking her to a dinner party that evening.
After the shopping, Wei Zixiong told her to go back and get dressed first, and he would co back to pick her up later.
Just as Zhao Jianing was about to enter the yard, a neighbor said, “Jianing, soone called for you earlier, said he was your dad and asked you to call him back as soon as you got in, he has sothing urgent to discuss with you.”
Zhao Jianing was now annoyed every ti there was a call for her, though she didn’t show it in front of the neighbor: “Okay, thank you, I’ll put these things down and call him back.”
Thinking of Qingshan Village, she thought of Zhao Changlin, that so-called uncle of hers who had recently almost driven her to distraction with multiple phone calls a day, asking for her help and playing the family card, nauseating her.
What did his son’s job loss have to do with her? Finally, Zhao Changlin had stopped calling, and now her own father was calling her with so urgent matter. What could possibly be so urgent? She still didn’t know what he wanted from her.
As Luo Qiao and the others got off the bus and walked ho, they saw quite a crowd sitting around Uncle Sun at the street corner, and soone greeted Luo Haotian, “Haotian, you’re back. Where have you all been?”
Luo Haotian laughed, “Uncle Yan, they went to climb the Great Wall. You seem to be enjoying your days now.”
“It’s okay, now your parents have finally made it through the hard tis. With so many grandchildren to dote on them in the future, life will be beautiful.”
“You’re absolutely right, Uncle Yan. They’ve truly had it rough over the years, now they just have enjoying the grandchildren to look forward to.”
“Your children are really good, each one good-looking and filial. Your parents’ best days are still ahead.”
“You’ve got it right, Uncle Yan. Well, you have a seat, we’ll be heading ho now.”
