Chapter 349: Comparison is the thief of joy!
Cyril has never liked people who climb the social ladder and belittle the weak.
She disliked neither the Zheng family nor Zheng Xiangrou.
What kind of good people are those families that would betray their own country?
and so.
When the Zheng family sent the invitation, she didn't take it seriously, planning to send her butler with a simple gift.
But if Jiang Ning wants to go...
She has to go with him!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Siriya."
"We're all friends, no need to talk about trouble!" Saying this, Xiliya looked at Yue Qianlan, "March, do you want to come and have some fun?"
Yue Qianlan was busy eating strawberry daifuku when she heard this. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no! You have important business to attend to at Zheng Family Castle. What would I do if I went with you?"
Will it cause trouble?
Yue Qianlan continued, "I'll just lie in the hotel playing games and wait for you guys to come back."
She's recently become obsessed with an escape room game, and she works extremely well with her teammates, playing it for three or four hours every day.
“Alright then.” Xiliya nodded, looked at Jiang Ning, and continued, “By the way, Shengbao, I have something private I want to ask you.”
"What is it?" Jiang Ning asked.
Cyril didn't mince words; she went straight to the point and asked, "What do you think of my third brother?"
"Huh?" Seemingly not expecting Cyril to ask such a question, Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting.
after all.
Including the time she went to the doctor, she and Brock had only met twice and exchanged no more than ten words.
Cyril's sudden question really caught Jiang Ning off guard.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qianlan immediately sensed the gossip and looked at Xilia, jokingly asking, "Xilia! Has your third brother fallen for Ningning?"
Xilia nodded. "That's right, my third brother fell in love with Shengbao at first sight."
Yue Qianlan covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Ning, "Ningning, Ningning! You've really been having a lot of luck with women lately."
love at first sight!
Will came first, then Brock.
What else could this be but good luck in love?
Moreover, both of them are exceptional individuals.
"Romantic luck?" Cyril was intrigued. "What's going on? Is someone else pursuing Sheng Bao?"
Yue Qianlan smiled and said, "Yes."
"Who is it? Who is pursuing Sheng Bao?" Xiliya asked immediately.
She is so curious.
Yue Qianlan stroked her chin and squinted, saying, "Speaking of which, you might actually know this person!"
know?
She knows so many people.
For a moment, it was really hard to guess what was going on with Cyril.
"Who is it?" Cyril was even more curious. "March, stop keeping us in suspense!"
Yue Qianlan continued, "It's Will."
“Will?” A look of surprise flashed in Cyria’s eyes as she asked incredulously, “Is it Will Windsor?”
There may be other men named Will in Country P.
But the Windsor family only has one Will.
There is only one Lord Will in P country.
Yue Qianlan nodded, "That's right, that's him."
Hearing this, Cyril felt a chill run down her spine.
Although Brock's appearance is no less than Will's.
but......
Ultimately, the Ryan family was just a noble family that relied on the royal family.
The House of Windsor, however, is true royalty!
Direct line of the royal family.
It seems.
There's not much hope for Brock.
Cyril turned to look at Jiang Ning, "Shengbao, have you agreed to Will's request?"
"No," Jiang Ning shook her head slightly.
Yue Qianlan continued, "Not only did she not agree, but Ningning rejected him very decisively! But that Will seems to be persisting. In just a few days, he has already prepared two confession ceremonies for Ningning."
"And they were all quite romantic and grand."
Even Yue Qianlan was stunned by such a confession ceremony, which was the first time she had ever seen one.
Plus, she's a sucker for good looks, so she figured if she were Jiang Ning, she might have agreed.
Later, after Jiang Ning's analysis, Yue Qianlan realized that Will was a scumbag.
Didn't agree?
And the refusal was very decisive?
Upon hearing this answer, Celia was also taken aback.
She was somewhat incredulous.
Without him.
All because Will is the most gentlemanly lord in P country.
He's also handsome.
Although she was a bit of a womanizer, Celia believed that a great beauty like Jiang Ning could definitely win Will over.
did not expect.
Jiang Ning actually refused!
To know.
Will is Zheng Xiangrou's Prince Charming.
If Zheng Xiangrou finds out about this, wouldn't she be furious?
Jiang Ning was probably the first person in Country P to reject Will.
It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
"Shengbao, you really are amazing!" Xilia gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up. "You even rejected Will. You're a role model for us all."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
After composing herself, Xiliya asked, "Shengbao, does that mean my third brother doesn't have a chance either?"
Jiang Ning even rejected Will, so what chance does Brock have...?
Brock's biggest advantage over Will is that he has only ever had one girlfriend.
Moreover, it was a Platonic relationship.
“Yes.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “But it’s okay, Xiliya. Your third brother is such an outstanding person, he will definitely not lack girlfriends in the future.”
"Hahahaha!" Siriya laughed and said, "I'll accept this 'good guy' card on behalf of my third brother."
After saying that, Celia looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Shengbao, my third brother is actually a very good person. Although he doesn't have as much power as the Windsor family, he's much more reliable than Will. Will has had at least eighty, if not a hundred, girlfriends, while my brother has only had one. If you ever want to date, you can always tell me!"
It's no exaggeration to say that Will has had eighty girlfriends.
Eighty of them are still in the public eye.
Who knows how many other women he's been secretly dating?
Upon hearing this, Yue Qianlan exclaimed incredulously, "Holy crap! Eighty?! Ningning was right after all!"
Having so many girlfriends but not getting married shows that he's a hedonist who never wants to take responsibility for women.
The reason he was so eager to pursue Jiang Ning was not because he actually liked her.
It was just lust at first sight.
"What did Shengbao say?" Xilia asked curiously.
Yue Qianlan looked at Xilia and continued, "Shengbao said that Will doesn't really like her at all; it's just his male desire to conquer that's driving him."
Cyril gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up, "Shengbao, as expected of you, you saw through Will's true nature right away."
Jiang Ning smiled faintly.
Cyril then asked, "Shengbao, let's not talk about Will for now, let's talk about my third brother! Does my third brother have even the slightest chance? Just give him one chance!"
In fact, Celia could tell that Brock really liked Jiang Ning.
It was love at first sight.
It's possible that he was lustful at first sight.
But physical attraction is also a kind of attraction!
Cyril knew Brock's character; he was extremely loyal, especially in love!
If Jiang Ning agrees to be with him, it would be a wonderful story.
“No.” Jiang Ning refused decisively. “Siriya, I believe your third brother will definitely meet a better girl.”
"Alright then." Although Cyril felt a little regretful, matters of the heart cannot be forced.
Ding-dong--
Ding-dong--
The two had barely finished speaking.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Yue Qianlan was closest to the door, so she immediately stood up to open it.
"Who?"
The door opened.
He is the hotel's butler.
"Butler, is there anything I can help you with?" Yue Qianlan asked.
The butler stood at the door and respectfully asked, "Hello, Miss Yue. Is Miss Shi here?"
Yue Qianlan turned her head to look into the room and called out, "Ningning, the housekeeper is looking for you."
"You're here." Jiang Ning walked to the door and looked at the butler. "What can I do for you?"
At that moment, Cyril also walked over out of curiosity.
The butler took a large bouquet of bright red roses from his assistant. "Miss Shi, these flowers were ordered for you by Lord Will."
Each rose has its outermost petals inlaid with concentric circles of small diamonds.
Under the light, the diamond refracts a rainbow of colors, making it especially beautiful.
But Jiang Ning didn't even glance at it, and continued, "Take it back, I can't accept these flowers."
don't want?
A troubled look flashed across the butler's eyes. "Lord Will specifically instructed me to deliver it to you personally."
“Then throw it in the trash can. In any case, I can’t accept these flowers.” At this point, Jiang Ning added, “Please tell Mr. Will that he shouldn’t waste his time on meaningless things anymore.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning closed the door.
The bewildered butler was left standing outside.
He thought Jiang Ning would happily accept the expensive bouquet of roses and give him a generous tip.
did not expect......
Jiang Ning actually refused to accept it.
There are actually girls in this world who can resist a prince charming like Will.
Inside the room, Xilia looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Shengbao, how many times has this happened?"
"This is the first time I've had flowers delivered," Jiang Ning said.
Cyria narrowed her eyes. "Based on my understanding of Will, he will definitely not let this go. He will definitely continue to send you flowers."
Jiang Ning said nonchalantly, "Let him be. Anyway, I'll be going back to China after I've taken care of things here."
She has said everything she needed to say.
Will can't possibly chase them all the way to China.
Cyril nodded. "That's true."
In the evening, the three of them went out for dinner together.
It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that Celia returned to Lane Castle.
As soon as she got home, she saw Brock sitting in the main hall waiting for her.
"Third Brother, you're still awake?"
Brock shook his head. "What exactly did Miss Shi say?"
Cyril was taken aback. "Didn't I already tell you that in the text message?"
Brock had indeed received his sister's text message long ago and learned of Jiang Ning's feelings, but he still held onto a last glimmer of hope, feeling that he should ask his sister for clarification after they met.
What if things take a turn for the better?
Brock continued, "Celia, do I really have absolutely no chance with Miss Shi?"
Xilia shook her head. "Brother, Shengbao really doesn't have any feelings for you. You shouldn't waste your time on her."
Brock was still somewhat unwilling, "But we haven't even tried to get to know each other, how does she know she doesn't have any feelings for me? I can win her over with my actions."
This was the first time Brock had ever been so attracted to a woman.
He didn't want to give up.
"Do you know that Will is also one of Sheng Bao's suitors?" Celia then asked.
Brock was taken aback at first, then his eyes filled with disappointment. "So, she chose Will?"
