"sister in law!"
In the evening, Ye Ning just walked out of the art troupe and was stopped by enthusiastic shouts from behind.
Even without looking back, she knew who the other person was.
A few seconds later, Zhu Jiabei jumped up to her.
The little girl was assigned to Zhang Guozhu's side. Now she is smiling and it seems that she has adapted well.
"Sister-in-law, are you free tonight?"
Zhu Jiabei is only 3 years younger than Ye Ning, but she looks like an innocent child.
Ye Ning didn't know why she asked, "Is something wrong?"
Zhu Jiabei suddenly showed a shy expression and invited: "I want to treat my sister-in-law to dinner."
"If sister-in-law doesn't have time today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or any other day will do."
He looked nervous as if he was afraid that Ye Ning would refuse.
Ye Ning looked at her and hesitated for two seconds, then nodded in agreement.
"Let's go. Where to eat?"
When Zhu Jiabei saw that she had agreed, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
"I heard from my colleagues that there is a particularly delicious stir-fry restaurant not far from our group. Can we go there?"
"Okay." Ye Ning is not picky about food.
Zhu Jiabei was extremely happy. Although she was not particularly familiar with this place, she still happily walked in front to lead the way for Ye Ning.
Ten minutes later the two of them were sitting in the restaurant.
Zhu Jiabei wanted to ask Ye Ning to order, but Ye Ning said that she could just order what she likes.
Zhu Jiabei looked at the prices on the menu and calculated the living expenses in her pocket, and then ordered four dishes and one soup to the best of her ability.
Seeing her studying the menu carefully, Ye Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Are you getting used to the past few days since you came to the group?"
While waiting for the food to be served, Ye Ning chatted casually with Zhu Jiabei.
"Well, it's better than I expected. Everyone takes good care of me and takes the initiative to be friends with me." Zhu Jiabei is always smiling.
Ye Ning did not doubt him, "That's good. Director Zhang may seem a bit strict, but he is a very nice person. If you study hard in the drama department, there is still a lot of room for improvement."
"Thank you sister-in-law for caring about me. I will definitely work hard."
Zhu Jiabei completely regarded Ye Ning as her relative and elder and obeyed her words.
"Where's your residence? Are you still used to it?"
When Ye Ning asked this, Zhu Jiabei opened up her chatterbox and talked non-stop.
There was chattering in Ye Ning's ears, but he didn't find it annoying.
While waiting for the food to be served, Zhu Jiabei was eating and talking.
Originally, Ye Ning felt that it might be a bit awkward to have dinner with her because she was not familiar with her, but now she knew that this idea was too redundant, and there was no possibility of being left alone with Zhu Jiabei's outgoing personality.
"At that time, I promised my brother that I would come here when I grow up, so that my brother and I could see each other often. But then my brother died..."
As he spoke, Zhu Jiabei mentioned the sacrificed Zhu Shan, and the atmosphere became depressing.
Ye Ning just wanted to say some words of comfort, but Zhu Jiabei smiled again the next second.
"It's okay. Even if my brother is gone, I will fulfill our agreement, and I have done it now. In the future, whenever I miss my brother, I can visit him."
Ye Ning looked at Zhu Jiabei's smile, but there was a slight sourness in her heart, and she also had a new understanding of the child.
Such a good girl is indeed worthy of Gu Feng and Jia Hao's care.
"Well, your brother would definitely be very happy if he knew."
"Really? I think so too. Sometimes when I see Brother Gu and Brother Jia, it's like seeing my brothers, and I feel very happy." Zhu Jiabei said whatever she thought in her heart, and had no respect for Ye Ning at all. Cover up and defend.
"But now besides my brothers, I also have a sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I like and admire you very much."
Zhu Jiabei suddenly confessed her love to Ye Ning, and looked at Ye Ning with stars in her eyes.
Ye Ning was really amused by her, "I like you too."
It's really hard not to like a child with such a personality.
The indifferent look on Meng Jiaorui's face when she said she liked her came to mind again.
Zhu Jiabei became even more excited after receiving Ye Ning's affirmation, and even ate two more bowls of rice.
I don't know if it was due to her influence, but Ye Ning's appetite was much better than usual.
Just as their meal was coming to an end, a man in a suit walked up to their table with an expressionless face.
"Miss Ye."
The other party stood upright and addressed Ye Ning respectfully.
After Ye Ning saw the person coming, all the expressions on Ye Ning's face slowly froze.
The person who came was Mu Wenhao's bodyguard.
Zhu Jiabei looked at the man who was nearly two meters tall, and then looked at Ye Ning in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, is this your friend?"
Ye Ning did not answer, but immediately looked behind the bodyguard to see if there was Mu Wenhao?
Soon her eyes fell on the ostentatious black car parked on the side of the road outside, and her heart sank.
"Jia Bei, I have something to do and I have to leave first. Don't be in a hurry and eat slowly."
Before Zhu Jiabei could answer, Ye Ning had already stood up and walked out under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards.
Zhu Jiabei had no idea what was going on. When she came to her senses, she quickly went to the front desk to pay.
The boss told her that the account had been settled.
She quickly chased after him, wanting to make sure Ye Ning was safe.
At this time, Ye Ning had already arrived in front of the car on the roadside. The window of the car was lowered, and Mu Wenhao's face appeared in her sight.
"boarding."
Ye Ning tensed her cheeks and stood motionless.
Today is her day off and she does not need to perform on stage.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhu Jiabei ran out impatiently at the door of the restaurant.
Mu Wenhao's dark gaze fell directly on her.
After Ye Ning noticed the direction of his gaze, he opened the car door without hesitation and got in.
Seeing her move, Mu Wenhao closed the car window with a half-smile.
The car started quickly, and Zhu Jiabei jumped into the air. She could only watch the car getting further and further away, completely disappearing from sight.
"The girl just now looked familiar to me. She seemed to be the person in that photo, right?"
Mu Wenhao showed interest in Zhu Jiabei.
Ye Ning's expression was extremely cold, "Don't have any ideas about her, she is just an insignificant person."
It is a reminder and a warning.
Mu Wenhao laughed softly, "Ye Ning, did you know? You have a particularly big weakness, that is, you care too much about your friends and relatives."
Ye Ning didn't show mercy to him at all, "I really can't be like you who refuses to recognize all your relatives and will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal."
