"Thank you for your kindness, but I’ll be fine staying at a hotel."
The old lady continued, "You must not know where the hotel is since you’re new here! I know of a very nice hotel just up ahead. It’s very close to where I live. e on! I’ll take you there!"
Ni Yang followed behind the old lady, who chattered endlessly along the way.
It was clear that she had really been holding back!
After arriving at the hotel, Ni Yang planned to have a good sleep to recharge for the cooperation talk with Mrs. Lillian the next day.
Eleven o’clock the next morning.
Ni Yang arrived at the cafe they had agreed on beforehand.
By the time she got there, Li Dai, Henry, and Lillian were already there.
"Mr. Henry, Mrs. Lillian, Mr. Li," Ni Yang greeted politely, as if she had already forgotten the unpleasantness with Li Dai from the day before.
"Miss Ni," Li Dai handed a neatly organized file to Ni Yang, "this is the contract, take a look."
Ni Yang took the contract and skimmed through it rapidly.
"I’ve finished reading the contract," Ni Yang said, putting the contract down a few minutes later.
"That quick?" Lillian looked at Ni Yang with some surprise.
Li Dai was also surprised.
Having read it so quickly, had Ni Yang really understood it?
Perhaps she was pretending to understand without really doing so.
He couldn’t deny that Ni Yang was a talented woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to speak such fluent F Country language.
But no matter how talented Ni Yang was, it was impossible for her to read an entire contract in such a short time.
Ni Yang smiled slightly, "I’ve marked the parts that have issues, please take a look."
"Oh my goodness, you’re really fast!" While speaking, Lillian picked up the contract.
After flipping through a few pages, her expression gradually turned to shock.
Because the places Ni Yang had marked all had issues, and the suggestions she made were very reasonable.
"Karl, look here..." Lillian handed the contract to Li Dai.
Li Dai was also somewhat surprised after seeing the contract.
He hadn’t expected Ni Yang to find so many issues in such a brief time.
All of them critical.
Initially, he thought Ni Yang was just putting on an act.
With this thought, Li Dai looked up at Ni Yang.
Thinking.
He had indeed underestimated Ni Yang.
The more capable Ni Yang was, the more Li Dai felt that Mo Qishen wasn’t worthy of her.
Being with someone like Mo Qishen would only hold Ni Yang back.
He was so much better than Mo Qishen.
Only by being with him could Ni Yang bee even more outstanding.
As the saying goes, you are influenced by those you associate with.
Maybe Ni Yang had bee so conservative and old-fashioned because of Mo Qishen’s influence.
Li Dai’s gaze changed.
After discussing the cooperation, Mr. Henry and Mrs. Lillian invited Ni Yang to visit a famous country villa in F Country, and Ni Yang agreed with a nod.
Li Dai was among the panions going along.
Li Dai studied law at university and was also the legal consultant hired by Mrs. Lillian. He had a fairly good relationship with Mr. Henry and the others in private.
The villas in F Country mostly feature ancient architecture, with many leisure activities available.
Golf, tennis, bowling, snooker, as well as equestrian events, and other aristocratic sports.
Ni Yang was very good at golf; she appeared nonchalant, but she could hit a hole-in-one every time.
So cool!
Today, she wasn’t wearing a cheongsam. She was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, her waterfall-like hair bed into a bun, looking smart and refreshing.
Radiating youth!
However, Ni Yang wasn’t very interested in golf and after hitting a few balls, she found a shaded spot to sit down and rest.
Li Dai came over to chat with Ni Yang.
"Miss Ni, you’ve been here in F Country for so many days, haven’t you seen your boyfriend yet?"
Ni Yang smiled lightly, "It seems that Mr. Li is very concerned about my boyfriend."
Ever since the day she arrived, Li Dai had asked about it no less than ten times.
Li Dai continued, "I’m just curious, what kind of man has captured Miss Ni’s heart."
"Of course, a very outstanding man," answered Ni Yang.
Li Dai laughed, a mocking curve on his lips, "Hearing Miss Ni say this, I’m getting even more curious."
Just then, Ni Yang suddenly stood up and looked ahead.
There, a tall figure was approaching.
Backlit by the light, his features were not clear.
"What is Miss Ni looking at?" asked Li Dai.
