I can support you.

Chapter 368: You are punished to accompany me to the party

After they sat down, Xue Pianpian looked puzzled:

"Who is this Mr. Chu? He's so arrogant! He actually dares to blatantly snatch people away!"

Qin Jiajun patiently explained:

"Shouldn't Xue Dong, one of the four great families in Kyoto, know about this?"

Xue Pianpian nodded.

"I've heard of some."

Qin Jiajun continued:

"This is Chu Jiangyuan, the younger brother of Chu Jiangkuo, the current head of the Chu family. The four major families are intertwined, and the Chu family has become increasingly prominent in recent years thanks to Chu Tianfeng.

But he didn't dare to really make a big deal out of it, he was just bluffing just now."

Xue Pianpian picked up the teacup and took a sip, suppressing the annoyance in her heart:

"Luckily, we have President Qin, otherwise today would be a tough end."

"There is no need to be polite between us."

Qin Jiajun smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Try the signature dishes here. They are said to be very authentic, such as 'braised fish maw' and 'squirrel mandarin fish'. They are perfect for calming the nerves."

As we were talking, the waiters had already served the dishes one after another. The table was filled with exquisite dishes and the aroma filled the air.

Qin Jiajun said in a gentle voice:

"Mr. Xue, Ms. Ning, the chef of this restaurant is very good at cooking. You should try it."

Xue Pianpian picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, her eyes instantly lit up:

"Wow, it's delicious! Sister, try it!"

Ning Youran looked at her excited expression, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The warmth of dinner was still lingering on her fingertips. As Xue Pianpian got into the car and fastened her seat belt, her cell phone vibrated happily.

The three words "Shen Haoteng" jumping on the screen made her squint her eyes, and she picked up the phone with a swipe of her finger.

"Sister, what time does the flight arrive in Kyoto tomorrow? I'll go to the airport to wait for you."

Shen Haoteng's voice was full of excitement.

The snow chuckled.

"Haha, sorry, brother, I'm already in Kyoto. I had something urgent to deal with here, so I came here early. I wanted to contact you after I was done, but before I could say anything, you called me."

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone, and then Shen Haoteng muttered with a hint of grievance:

"Sister, how could you do this? You didn't even tell me you were here. Do you not like your brother anymore?"

The slight resentment in his tone could not be hidden, but he only mentioned it briefly and did not take it to heart.

Xue Pianpian smiled again,

"Haha, I really have something to do. You're so handsome and cute, how could I not like you?"

Shen Haoteng sighed sadly and said:

"Okay, since you're the best looking, I'll forgive you. But as a punishment, you have to accompany me to a party."

Xue Pianpian agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go with you. What kind of party is it? Would it be convenient for me to bring my sister along?"

Shen Haoteng was surprised.

"Your sister? Don't you only have an older brother and a younger brother? How come there's another sister? Is your sister also very beautiful?"

"Of course. How could my idol not be beautiful? She's much prettier than me."

Xue Pianpian looked at Ning Youran proudly and continued,

"It can be said that with my sister's looks, she is definitely ranked among the top three in the country."

Shen Haoteng was even more surprised.

"No way? More beautiful than you? And in the top three in the country? How beautiful must she be? Sister, take a picture and send it to me."

Xue Pianpian deliberately kept the secret.

"No, you'll know when you see it tomorrow."

"Okay! My sister has the final say."

Shen Haoteng smiled good-naturedly and said,

"Sister, you don't have a car here, right? I'll send one over for you."

Xue Pianpian quickly refused:

"No, no, Mr. Qin has sent me a car, and I've already sent a message to Feng Ning. Hao Ting's driver will be here early tomorrow morning."

The car drove smoothly into the villa area, and when we arrived, the wall clock just pointed to half past eight.

Xue Pianpian did not rush back to the villa where she lived, but first accompanied Ning Youran to Villa No. 8 in the community - this was the villa she chose from among the three villas.

Pushing open the carved iron gate, the moonlight shines on the landscape pines in the courtyard, and the warm light inside the house shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting the simple and elegant decoration outline.

Ning Youran walked and looked along the way, her eyes full of surprise:

"Xue, you have such good taste!"

She reached out and touched the warm solid wood floor in the living room, then looked up at the high ceiling design.

"This apartment is open from north to south, with amazing natural light. Even the light luxury style of the decoration is very much in line with my aesthetic taste."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and took a panoramic video, which she quickly sent to her husband Zhao Zexu with the caption:

"Look at the villa that Xue gave us, we love it!"

After Ning Youran had seen enough, the two returned to Xue Pianpian's villa.

As soon as she entered the door, Xue Pianpian greeted Ning Youran:

"Sister, you should rest early. I'm going to the space to make medicine for Mr. Qin."

After saying that, she slipped into the space. Arriving on the second floor, Xue Pianpian skillfully took out the main herbs that Old Man Qin needed from the medicine cabinet, soaked them in water, and simmered them slowly. The aroma of the herbs soon filled the space.

In the master bedroom outside the space, Ning Youran was leaning against the head of the bed, browsing her mobile phone, and from time to time, the corners of her mouth curled up because of the content on the screen.

At 8:30 in the morning of the next day, the sky was bright and the light was fully spread, softly shining on the courtyard of the villa with green tiles and white walls.

Liu Jian, the exclusive driver of Haoting Group, was already wearing a neat black uniform and standing respectfully beside the iconic black Rolls-Royce Phantom, his leather shoes polished to a shine. When he saw the movement at the villa gate, he immediately nodded slightly.

As Xue Pianpian stepped out of the porch, her eyes were attracted by the figure next to the car - Ye Fengning was there too.

She was wearing a well-tailored beige business suit, with her long hair neatly tied behind her head. Her usually cold eyes and brows were now filled with a gentle smile. Seeing Xue Pianpian coming, she immediately stepped forward.

"Good morning, Chairman."

Ye Fengning's voice was crisp and just the right amount of respect. As she spoke, she naturally walked around to the back of the car, gently grasped the door handle with both hands, and slowly opened the spacious rear door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Her movements were smooth and appropriate.

Xue Pianpian paused, her gaze resting on Ye Fengning for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips in a serious manner, and said in a feigned anger:

"What? Have you forgotten everything I told you? Do we still need to use this trick between us? If you continue to be so distant, I really won't want you as my sister anymore."

Ye Fengning obviously didn't expect Xue Pianpian to say that. She was slightly startled at first, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked. Her composure faded a little in an instant, and then she put on an aggrieved look, and said in a coquettish tone:

"How could I forget? But since you last returned to City Z, we hardly had a proper conversation except for the work report at the company.

I was secretly wondering if my boss was tired of me and didn't want me as his sister anymore, so how could I dare to have any more intimate conversation with you?

"You girl."

Xue Pianpian helplessly held her forehead and lightly tapped Ye Fengning's arm with her fingertips.

"So you're blaming me for ignoring you? With all the things that have been going on lately, I've been really busy. There's nothing I can do about it.

Besides, even if I didn't take the initiative to look for you, you wouldn't take the initiative to look for me? Do I have to chase after you and talk to you every day?"

"I dare not, I absolutely dare not blame my sister!"

Ye Fengning immediately put away her aggrieved look, a sly look flashed in her eyes, she raised the corner of her mouth playfully, and made a "begging for mercy" gesture to Xue Pianpian.

"I was wrong! Sister! From now on, I will chase you every day. Wherever you go, I will follow you. I promise to find topics to talk to you every day. I will never give you the chance to ignore me!"

Seeing Ye Fengning's clever look of correcting her mistakes, Xue Pianpian's "anger" had long since vanished. She smiled with a smile on her face, her eyes full of doting:

"That's more like it. Let's go, Ningning, accompany your sister to the Qin residence for a medical consultation. We'll have a big dinner with our idol sister at noon. She has a performance tomorrow, and I didn't want to wake her up."

Around ten-thirty in the morning, sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices of Mr. Qin's bedroom, casting mottled shadows on the floor.

Xue Pianpian pulled out the last silver needle accurately with light and smooth movements.

Old Master Qin's originally tense brows were completely relaxed, and his breathing was much calmer than when he came. He was resting with his eyes closed, and there was obvious satisfaction on his face.

Xue Pianpian packed up the needles, turned around and took out the medicine and stream water she had prepared last night from the medicine box, and instructed:

"Boss Qin, take the decoction once a day, morning and evening, warm. Take three spoonfuls of living stream water daily, mix it with warm water and drink. Remember not to take it with strong tea. The old man needs to rest and recuperate. His diet should be light, avoiding raw, cold and greasy foods."

Qin Jiajun wrote down everything and nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.
