Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 438: Meeting his girlfriend's brother, the drunken Ninth Master Shen~

Jiang Ning scrolled through the messages and pictures Shen Jingnian had sent, a smile playing on her lips. "If someone who didn't know better saw this, they'd think you were going on a blind date tonight."

Isn't this more important than blind dates?

As Jiang Ning was replying to messages, Ma Zhaodi called out from the kitchen, "Ningning, Xia Ying and I are going to cook snail rice noodles. Do you want some? If you do, we'll cook a lot."

I have to say, moving into this luxurious three-person dorm has been incredibly convenient!

They can eat whatever they want, and they no longer have to worry about the dorm supervisor coming to check their rooms!

"Eat!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately grabbed her phone and ran to the kitchen. "I'm going to add some more dried vegetables! Oh, and I'll help you two out."

"Go ahead and soak." Xia Ying pushed Jiang Ning out. "Xiao Si and I are fine in the kitchen. You should go and be all lovey-dovey with your boyfriend. The kitchen isn't for you."

Ma Zhaodi nodded. "Xia Ying is right. Ningning, you should go out now. We don't need your help here."

Jiang Ning was kicked out of the kitchen by the two men.

Half an hour later, Xia Ying came out carrying a bowl of cooked snail rice noodles. "Ningning, time to eat!"

"I'm coming."

Jiang Ning put down her phone and walked towards the restaurant.

Ma Zhaodi placed a plate of chicken feet on the table. "This is a specialty of our hometown, spicy chicken feet. It was made last night and left in the refrigerator overnight. It should be flavorful by now. You two can try it and see if you like it."

Jiang Ning immediately picked up a chicken foot and exclaimed in amazement, "So spicy and delicious! Xiao Si, you're a real gem!"

Xia Ying also picked up a chicken foot and tasted it. "It's really delicious! Even better than what I buy outside! Xiao Si, you're truly a treasure."

Seeing that her two roommates enjoyed the chicken feet she made so much, Ma Zhaodi felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Once upon a time.

She thought that rich heiresses were all otherworldly, eating at high-end restaurants that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, and even their mouthwash was flown in by air, because that's how it was portrayed on TV.

It is said that art originates from reality, so she thought that the rich girls in the real world would only be more exaggerated than those portrayed on TV.

She only realized this after getting to know Jiang Ning.

True heiresses exude refinement from the inside out. Although they stand at the highest level, they never divide people into different classes. They can enter and leave high-end restaurants with ease, and can also sit elegantly on the roadside eating at unknown roadside stalls.

Since he had no classes in the afternoon, Shen Jingnian drove to Peking University at 1 p.m.

Jiang Ning got into the passenger seat. "Where are we going now?"

They had arranged to meet Si Xubei at 5 p.m., and they only needed to arrive at the restaurant at 4:30 p.m.

It's still early.

Shen Jingnian said, "There's a wetland park nearby with beautiful scenery. Shall we go for a stroll there?"

He checked and found that the scenery in the wetland park is quite beautiful in September, making it a great place for couples to take a walk.

"Okay." Jiang Ning fastened her seatbelt.

--

Half past four in the afternoon.

Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning arrived at the restaurant on time.

The private room on the third floor.

There's a full-length window with a great view.

After sitting down, Shen Jingnian first checked his phone, then looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Boss, how should I greet your fourth brother when I see him later? Also, what should I call him?"

Shen Jingnian, who is usually very resourceful in dealing with any situation, was a little nervous this time.

“Okay, just call me Fourth Brother, don’t be nervous,” Jiang Ning pulled out a tissue and wiped his forehead. “Look at you, you’re all sweaty.”

This is just meeting one of my older brothers.

Jiang Ning didn't even dare to think about it.

If Shen Jingnian met with eight uncles and thirteen brothers all at once, how nervous would he be!

"Okay, then remember to speak up for me later," Shen Jingnian said.

Jiang Ning chuckled softly, "Aren't you usually quite eloquent? What's wrong with you today?"

“Today is different,” Shen Jingnian glanced towards the doorway. “That person is your fourth brother. What if he doesn’t approve of us being together if I don’t behave well?”

"Don't worry," Jiang Ning straightened his slightly disheveled tie, "My fourth brother is very easy to talk to, and besides, he's in a relationship right now, so he should be able to understand you."

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Shen Jingnian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

thump--

There was a knock on the door outside.

“It must be my fourth brother and March.” Jiang Ning went to open the door.

Shen Jingnian immediately followed.

As soon as the door opened, Si Xubei arrived with Yue Qianlan.

Yue Qianlan smiled and said, "Ningning, why are you here so early?"

“It’s not that early, we just arrived a little while ago,” Jiang Ning said, linking her arm with Shen Jingnian’s. “March, Fourth Brother, let me formally introduce you to my boyfriend, Shen Jingnian.”

"I don't need an introduction, I've known Mr. Shen for a long time," Yue Qianlan said with a smile.

Jiang Ning nodded, then looked at Shen Jingnian, "This is my fourth brother. You can call him Fourth Brother, just like me."

"Fourth Brother, I am Shen Jingnian." Shen Jingnian extended his hand to Si Xubei. "Just call me Xiao Shen."

Jiang Ning is the youngest in her family.

The two are not engaged yet. According to the order of seniority, even if it is Ninth Master Shen, he can only be called Little Shen by his fourth brother-in-law.

Si Xubei extended his hand to shake hands with Shen Jingnian, "Si Xubei, I have long admired the name of Ninth Master Shen."

Shen Jingnian was a bit older than Si Xubei. When Si Xubei graduated with his master's degree, he had already heard about Shen Jingnian's legendary status. After all, Shen Jingnian was a prominent figure in both the military and business. At that time, even Si Xubei's master's supervisor was a fan of Shen Jingnian.

"I dare not accept such praise; it's just an empty title," Shen Jingnian said.

"Fourth Brother, March, let's sit down!" Jiang Ning continued, "We've already ordered the food."

Jiang Ning has already figured out Yue Qianlan and Si Xubei's tastes.

Therefore, I ordered the food in advance.

Shen Jingnian said, "Then I'll go tell the waiter that the food is ready to be served."

"Go ahead." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Shen Jingnian turned and walked out of the private room.

Snap--

The door is closed.

Jiang Ning looked at Si Xubei, "Fourth brother, what do you think of my taste?"

“My sister has excellent taste,” Si Xubei said with a smile. “Shen Jingnian’s character and appearance are both top-notch. Now, it depends on how well the two of you get along.”

With their thirteen older brothers protecting her, Si Xubei wasn't worried at all about Shen Jingnian bullying her.

If Shen Jingnian dares to lay a finger on Jiang Ning, he's finished.

Shen Jingnian returned shortly afterward.

Si Xubei asked the waiter to bring over a few bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor). "Mr. Shen, are you able to drink?"

"I can drink a little," Shen Jingnian replied.

Si Xubei smiled and said, "This is a rare opportunity, shall we have a drink?"

"Okay." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly. "I'll definitely drink with Fourth Brother until we're completely satisfied!"

Si Xubei looked at Shen Jingnian: "That's great! It's been a long time since I've had a proper drinking session with anyone. Let's drink until we drop today!"

A person's drinking habits reflect their character.

Meeting his sister's boyfriend for the first time, Si Xubei naturally wanted to test Shen Jingnian's true character.

"You won't come home until you're drunk."

Jiang Ning tugged at Shen Jingnian's sleeve and whispered a reminder: "My fourth brother has a very high alcohol tolerance, so be careful. If you really can't drink anymore, don't force yourself."

The Si family's older brothers are all shrewd and calculating.

Jiang Ning could naturally see why Si Xubei had asked Shen Jingnian to drink alcohol on their first meeting.

"I know."

Jiang Ning then asked, "By the way, were you acting crazy while drunk?"

She had never seen Shen Jingnian drunk.

"Don't worry, I have a very good drinking habit. Even if I get drunk, I just sleep quietly."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Shen Jingnian and Si Xubei started drinking.

As the two drank back and forth, they unknowingly finished three jin of wine.

Over the years, Shen Jingnian has held a high position, and no one has dared to force him to drink for a long time. After drinking nearly a pound and a half of baijiu, Shen Jingnian felt as if he were walking on cotton.

Dizzy.

Face flushed.

Looking at Si Xubei again, he still had that calm and composed demeanor.

He has a very high alcohol tolerance, earning him the nickname "the liquor jar." His record is drinking 3 jin (1.5 catties) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) in one go. One and a half jin of liquor is not enough to make him drunk.

"Fourth Brother, I toast you." Although Shen Jingnian was already somewhat delirious, he still did not forget etiquette. He held the glass with both hands, stood up, and toasted Si Xubei.

Jiang Ning took his wine glass away. "Look how drunk you are! You're not allowed to drink anymore. That's enough for today."

“It’s alright, boss. Today is a rare opportunity,” Shen Jingnian said to Jiang Ning. “Just let me have another drink with Fourth Brother.”

“No,” Jiang Ning shook her head.

"It's alright, just one glass." As he spoke, Shen Jingnian tentatively reached for the wine glass that Jiang Ning had placed on the table.

"Sit down!" Jiang Ning said sternly.

Seeing that Jiang Ning's voice had changed and her expression was off, Shen Jingnian immediately sat up straight and said, "I won't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore, please don't be angry, boss!"

At the end, he let out a burp.

"You're not allowed to drink either." Yue Qianlan reached out and patted Si Xubei.

Si Xubei leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not drunk."

“You’re not drunk,” Yue Qianlan continued, “Look how drunk Ningning’s boyfriend is!”

Her face turned red.

It's almost bleeding.

"Don't worry, future fourth sister-in-law, I'm not drunk," Shen Jingnian said, pouring himself a cup of tea. "I'm just a little flushed."

"Have some yogurt, it'll help you sober up." Jiang Ning handed the yogurt to Shen Jingnian.

"Yes, sir." Shen Jingnian put down his tea and took the yogurt.

Finished a bottle of yogurt.

Shen Jingnian placed the empty bottle on the table, and just when everyone thought everything was normal, he suddenly stood up and said, "Let me sing a song for everyone!!!"

"Please give a round of applause--"

"I'm just a tiny little bird, no matter how hard I try, I can't fly high~~~"

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep; the green grass smells even sweeter because of me~~~"

"Over there, beyond the mountains and the sea, lives a group of Smurfs~~~"

"..."

Shen Jingnian started with zero frames and began rapping, leaving everyone in the room completely bewildered.

Jiang Ning: ? ? ?

Yue Qianlan: ? ? ? ?

Si Xubei:? ? ? ? ?
