Chapter 235 No one dares to mess with them!
Miss Ryan is here?
Madam Si was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ning and lowered her voice to explain to her, "Shengbao, Miss Ryan's full name is Cyria Ryan. She is also the youngest daughter of the Ryan family in P country. P country divides surnames into five ranks, with the Ryan family ranking first, followed by the royal family. Since Cyria Ryan is the youngest daughter, she has a very spoiled and somewhat eccentric personality, and no one in the noble circles of P country dares to offend her."
“Your grandfather received a favor from the old head of the Ryan family when he was young, but since your grandfather passed away, our family has not had much contact with the Ryan family. I don’t know why, but this time, Cyria Ryan suddenly came to attend our family’s banquet.”
Thinking of Xilia's reputation among the nobility, Madam Si looked at Jiang Ning and then instructed, "Shengbao, try not to be alone with Xilia later."
Seria has always been arrogant and domineering in Country P.
Jiang Ning had just been brought back, and Madam Si was worried that Jiang Ning would suffer a loss.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanan chuckled, "Mom, are you really worried that Celia Lane can still bully Sheng Bao?"
Who is Jiang Ning?
She's the Si family's granddaughter!
In Zhao Yanan's opinion, not to mention one Siliya, even ten Siliyas wouldn't be able to bully her niece.
The old lady Si's eyes were filled with deep thoughts. "You know Xilia's reputation. What wouldn't she do?"
Defenses can not do without.
Wang Ahui chimed in, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Our Shengbao isn't some pushover who can be easily manipulated."
At this point, Wang Ahui paused, "Moreover, Xilia shouldn't make things difficult for Shengbao for no reason."
Seria just has a bad temper, she's not some mad dog.
Why would it bite anyone it sees?
Although that's what she said, Madam Si was still a little worried. She took Jiang Ning's arm and said, "Shengbao, if Xiliya dares to make things difficult for you, you don't have to give her face."
"Okay, Grandma." Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
As they were talking, Celia Lane had already walked in through the main entrance.
Madam Si looked at Jiang Ning, "Shengbao, I'll go over there for a bit."
After all, Cyril was a member of the Ryan family, and out of respect for the late Master Si, they couldn't turn a blind eye to her.
Seria has a very beautiful face.
She has the typical Western aristocratic look, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and deep and beautiful facial features. She wears a champagne-colored dress, making her look elegant and graceful. The height of the girl from the south is around 1.6 to 1.65 meters.
As soon as the 1.75-meter-tall Celia appeared in the banquet hall, she instantly outshone everyone else, making everyone else just a plain background.
"Miss Ryan is so beautiful!"
"An angel, this is simply an angel straight out of Western mythology."
"Her eyes seem to speak!"
"..."
Almost everyone's attention was drawn to Cyria.
There were exclamations.
Seria walked in step by step in a pair of crystal high heels. Hearing the voices of the crowd, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes were full of light. Her appearance was outstanding even in P country.
In China, he would naturally be a formidable force.
Madam Si went up to greet her, "Miss Ryan, welcome to China."
Xilia nodded and said with a smile, "Madam Si, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity."
Although she was offering birthday wishes, she acted superior and aloof.
According to Siriya.
Her grandfather had once helped the Si family, so she was the Si family's great benefactor, and the Si family had to be grateful to her!
After saying that, Xilia continued, "Madam Si, I heard that you recently found your long-lost granddaughter, Miss Shi. Today's banquet is not only your birthday banquet, but also Miss Shi's family reunion banquet. I heard about Miss Shi's deeds when I was in P country and admired her very much. I wonder if I have the honor of meeting Miss Shi today?"
While Cyril's words seemed to express her goodwill towards Jiang Ning, in reality, every single one of them was directed at Jiang Ning.
As for why Cyria would target someone she had never met,
This story begins a week ago.
Let's rewind to a week ago.
Beijing.
Tang family.
After being kicked out of the Shi family manor by Madam Shi, Tang An has been living in a villa in the wealthy district.
When Tang An learned from Shi Nanyue that the Si family would be holding a family reunion banquet at Madam Si's birthday celebration, he was extremely jealous.
Why?
Why does Jiang Ning always get all the good things?
Jiang Ning's moment of glory in the capital was not enough.
Now we're going to see the sights of Hong Kong!
After finishing this, Shi Nanyue looked at Tang An beside her and said, "An'an, come with me to your grandma's place later."
Mentioning the old lady, Tang An's face was full of disgust. "Why go to her place?"
Ever since Old Madam Shi kicked her out of the Shi family manor, Tang An has never wanted to acknowledge her maternal grandmother again!
If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Tang An would never have known that people could be so biased.
They left their granddaughter at home to enjoy a life of luxury.
They don't treat their granddaughter like human beings!
Since Old Madam Shi doesn't treat her like a human being, then she naturally doesn't need to treat Old Madam Shi like a human being either.
“Your maternal grandmother is going to Hong Kong in a few days to attend the Si family’s banquet. We need to find a way to get her to bring you along,” Shi Nanyue said, narrowing her eyes. “When you get to your maternal grandmother’s place, remember to be a little sweet-talking.”
Shi Nanyue's original choice for son-in-law was Shen Jingnian.
But now, Tang An is lame.
She had to make other plans.
The Si family are the local tyrants of Hong Kong.
If Tang An were to marry into the Si family, she would still be able to trample Jiang Ning under her feet in the future.
Hearing this, Tang An's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Shi Nanyue, "But my grandmother's heart has already turned to the Pacific Ocean. Will she really take me with her to the Si family?"
“You are, after all, her own granddaughter, she will definitely take you with her.” Shi Nanyue narrowed her eyes. “By the way, An’an, didn’t I hear you mention before that Si Qiming of the Si family is interested in you?”
“Yes.” Tang An nodded.
Thinking of Si Qiming, Tang An's heart began to race uncontrollably.
Shi Nanyue continued, "Since that's the case, then it's even easier. An'an, you know your current situation. The Shen family would never marry a daughter-in-law with a foot defect, and Shen Jingnian isn't easy to approach. You should focus all your attention on Si Qiming! Si Qiming is the youngest grandson of the Si family. It's said that parents love their youngest children, and grandmothers love their grandsons just the same. I think he must be the most beloved grandson of Old Madam Si. If you successfully marry him, you can become the First Lady of Hong Kong!"
"At that time, even Jiang Ning will have to be mindful of your feelings."
Once the daughter marries Si Qiming, won't everything in the Si family be decided by her?
What will Jiang Ning be then?
She doesn't even qualify as a dog in a poop.
The thought of trampling Jiang Ning underfoot filled Tang An with a look of pure joy. "Okay, Mom, let's go to the Shi family to find Grandma right now. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that Si Qiming will be completely captivated by me and will marry no one but me!"
Tang Anke had complete confidence in Si Qiming.
Although Si Qiming never said he loved her, she could see the deep love in his eyes.
Most importantly, she and Si Qiming had many private moments together, but Si Qiming had yet to add her on WeChat.
Why is that?
It is clear!
Si Qiming was too embarrassed to say it. As everyone knows, men are too embarrassed to look up at girls they like, let alone look them in the eye.
Tang An had observed carefully that when she was with Si Qiming, Si Qiming never dared to look her in the eye.
I never dared to ask her to add me on WeChat.
Even when everyone was eating at the same table, Si Qiming didn't dare to get too close to her.
All these signs indicate that Si Qiming loves her!
I love her very much!
He loved her to the point of life and death.
Hearing her daughter's words, Shi Nanyue's face was full of pride.
So what if her daughter has a leg problem and is lame?
Even though she's a cripple, Tang An can still marry into the Si family!
Become the matriarch of the Si family!
Some heiresses from wealthy families, even if they are prettier than Tang An and have no physical defects, still cannot marry into the Si family no matter how hard they try.
Let alone marrying into the Si family, they probably wouldn't even have the ability to get the Si family to give them a second glance.
Half an hour later.
Shi Nanyue brought Tang An to the Shi family manor.
Madam Shi was wiping Shi Nanxing's face.
"Nanxing, you need to wake up quickly, wake up quickly and find Huashang with Shengbao."
Shi Nanxing lay on the bed, like a puppet, unresponsive.
Upon hearing Madam Shi's words, Shi Nanyue narrowed her eyes.
Wake up?
In the past, Shi Nanxing might have had a one in ten thousand chance of waking up, but now, after Jiang Ning's treatment, he probably doesn't even have a one in a hundred million chance.
Shi Nanyue suppressed her thoughts and led Tang An into the house. "Mom, I've brought An'an to see you."
Madam Shi wiped away her tears and turned to look at Shi Nanyue.
Tang An greeted her sweetly, "Hello, Grandma."
Madam Shi nodded. "An'an is here. Please have a seat."
Tang An took the towel from the old lady's hand and began to fawn over her, "Grandma, let me wipe Uncle's face."
Madam Shi smiled and said, "No need, I've already wiped it off for your uncle."
Tang An had no choice but to put the towel back.
It just so happens that she didn't really want to wipe the face of a person in a vegetative state.
Although Shi Nanxing was Tang An's maternal uncle, Tang An did not have much affection for this uncle who was in a vegetative state.
Shi Nanyue chatted with the old lady for a few minutes about everyday things, then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Mom, what day is your flight to Hong Kong?"
“At 9 a.m. on the 8th,” Madam Shi replied.
Shi Nanyue looked at Madam Shi and said, "Mom, your health has never been very good, and Shengbao is not by your side now. Let An'an accompany you to Hong Kong! That way I will feel more at ease. I also prepared a small gift for Madam Si, which An'an can take with her."
Shi Nanyue's excuse was quite perfect.
This not only demonstrated Tang An's filial piety but also achieved its purpose.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Next, all we have to do is wait for the old lady to nod in agreement.
Should Tang An go to Hong Kong with her?
Old Madam Shi frowned imperceptibly.
Even if Tang An had no relation to the Si family, based on the incident involving the back view last time, she couldn't bring Tang An to the Si family.
If Tang An is really brought along, then it won't be a birthday celebration!
Instead, they went to cause trouble for the Si family!
Although Madam Shi was old, she was not senile.
She knows what she should and shouldn't do.
Madam Shi smiled and looked at Shi Nanyue, "Xiaoyue, since Shengbao came back, my health has been getting better day by day. I can go to Hong Kong by myself on the 8th, without An'an accompanying me. In addition, I have already prepared Madam Si's birthday gift, so you don't need to bother preparing it. After all, the Si family is Shengbao's maternal grandmother's family, and has nothing to do with An'an. If you really prepare a gift for An'an to take there, others will think that you have ulterior motives."
