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

Chapter 195 Xu Ruoying was dumbfounded!

Private venue?

Xu Ruoying's face turned cold as she looked at the staff member blocking her way.

It's crazy!

They even dared to stop her.

Didn't you know that she was the main character who booked the entire venue?

Without her, this place wouldn't be booked out today.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who I am!" Xu Ruoying said angrily.

She's just a waitress, how dare she stop her!

The staff member was startled, and just as she was wondering what to do, the restaurant manager walked in from inside, smiling, and said, "Ms. Xu!"

Xu Ruoying is a VIP at the Lakeside Restaurant, and she is always personally received by the manager whenever she comes.

Therefore, all the restaurant's leaders knew Xu Ruoying.

Xu Ruoying looked at the restaurant manager, frowning, "What's wrong with this employee? How dare he stop me! I think you should fire this kind of person as soon as possible to avoid damaging the image of your Western restaurant."

In the catering industry, service is always paramount. Therefore, upon hearing this, the restaurant manager did not refute Xu Ruoying's words but nodded repeatedly, "You're right. We will strengthen training and pay attention to the personal qualities of our employees in the future!"

Xu Ruoying snorted coldly, "I'm in a good mood today, and I'm too lazy to bother with you people."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and continued walking into the store.

The restaurant manager immediately stopped Xu Ruoying, "Ms. Xu, please wait!"

"What is it now?" Xu Ruoying asked impatiently.

The restaurant manager continued, "I'm so sorry, Miss Xu, our restaurant has been booked out by Mr. Shen today and we're not open to the public. Please come back another day."

The implication is quite clear.

Xu Ruoying can't enter the restaurant now!

Xu Ruoying found it amusing and asked in return, "Do you know who Master Shen booked the entire venue for today?"

The restaurant manager shook his head. "That's Mr. Shen's privacy."

Even though Xu Ruoying was the restaurant's VIP, he couldn't reveal that.

Xu Ruoying wanted to say something more, but Jiang Ning walked over from the side.

To avoid any mistakes, the restaurant manager had seen Jiang Ning's photo beforehand. At this moment, he immediately went up to her and said very warmly, "Are you Ms. Jiang?"

“It’s me.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

She was dressed very simply today.

Wearing a light pink sweatshirt and white wide-leg pants, with no makeup, pink is a color that is very picky about skin tone and age. If you are not good-looking, you will be made to look dull and lackluster by that picky light pink.

But when worn by Jiang Ning, it looked indescribably beautiful and pure, making her look more like a young lady of high society than those rich heiresses dressed in haute couture!

A towering figure to be admired!

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's reply, the restaurant manager became even more respectful and bowed slightly. "Miss Jiang, please come this way. Master Jiu has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Ok."

Jiang Ning followed in the footsteps of the restaurant manager.

Xu Ruoying's face turned pale instantly. She wondered if she was hallucinating and grabbed the restaurant manager's sleeve, "What are you saying?"

"Who did you just say Brother Jingnian was waiting for?"

The restaurant manager turned to look at Xu Ruoying, "Ninth Master is waiting for this Miss Jiang."

impossible!

It is absolutely impossible.

How could Shen Jingnian possibly be waiting for Jiang Ning!

How should Jiang Ning be paired?

Jiang Ning is just a country girl from the countryside.

impossible.

She has known Shen Jingnian for thirty years.

They grew up together.

Who is Jiang Ning?

How can Jiang Ning compare to her?!

Xu Ruoying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "You've got it wrong! The person Jingnian is waiting for is me."

Faced with Xu Ruoying's questioning, the restaurant manager simply stopped and turned to look at Xu Ruoying, "Miss Xu, if you have any questions, you can go and ask Master Shen yourself. I am just doing what Master Shen instructed."

After speaking, the restaurant manager looked at Jiang Ning, his attitude as respectful as before, "Ms. Jiang, please!"

Jiang Ning followed the restaurant manager and continued walking forward.

Watching Jiang Ning and the restaurant manager leave, Xu Ruoying clenched her fists tightly. What on earth was going on?

--

Shen Jingnian's reserved spot was on the second floor.

He sat by the window in a lakeside seat, where he could see the beautiful scenery with just a slight turn of his head. He wore a high-end custom-made suit, and his dangerous yet deep phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed. His posture was very casual, and his long, powerful legs were simply crossed together, yet they exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

"Ninth Master, Miss Jiang has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian immediately stood up from his chair and looked at the person who had come in, "Ningning."

Upon seeing this, the restaurant manager was completely stunned.

It took me a long time to react.

You should know that the other party is none other than the famous Ninth Master Shen.

He has been working at the restaurant for five years.

Over the past five years, Shen Jingnian has often dined by the lake. He has only ever seen women like Xu Ruoying who tried every means to pursue him, and he has never seen Shen Jingnian so nervous about any woman.

That's right.

I'm just nervous.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the restaurant manager wouldn't have believed that he could actually see nervousness on Shen Jingnian's face.

This is so amazing!

I originally thought that Master Shen had ordered 10,001 roses for another purpose.

Now it seems.

It must be a confession!

Thinking of this, the restaurant manager was very excited!

It’s really a long time to see you.

Even the aloof and powerful Master Shen would take the initiative to confess his feelings!

Jiang Ning walked over and asked curiously, "Did you book this whole place today?"

“Yes.” Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.

"Why?" Jiang Ning continued, "Is today some very important day? Is it your birthday?"

"It's not my birthday, I'm just in a good mood."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were a birthday, that would be too awkward.

She did not prepare any gifts.

Shen Jingnian raised his hand and poured Jiang Ning a cup of tea, which was Jiang Ning's favorite Purple Mountain Cloud Mist.

Then she asked, "Ningning, can we serve the food now?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "Okay."

After leaving the Shi Group, she went straight to the lakeside restaurant, as she was quite hungry at the moment.

Shen Jingnian turned to the restaurant manager and said, "Serve the food."

"Yes, Ninth Master."

Shen Jingnian ordered all the dishes recommended by the chef today.

soon.

The first appetizer was served.

It's a raw Emontese beef butter celery tart.

The second appetizer was a caviar mousse cheese tart.

These are all things Jiang Ning likes.

The two chatted as they ate, and Jiang Ning asked curiously, "I heard that the rooftop garden at this restaurant has a very nice view. Shall we go up and take a look after we finish eating?"

The lakeside restaurant is usually too crowded, so there's not much of an experience in the rooftop garden.

Today is a good opportunity.

Shen Jingnian touched the bridge of his nose and parted his thin lips slightly: "The Sky Garden is currently under renovation, so we may not be able to go up there."

"Oh, I see," Jiang Ning said with some regret. "Then let's come back next time."

Shen Jingnian took a sip of red wine, feeling very nervous about his confession later.

I was not only uneasy, but also afraid.

He was afraid that Jiang Ning would refuse.

I'm even more afraid that Jiang Ning will be beaten to the punch by the second male lead, just like the female lead in the TV series.

Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes and noticed Shen Jingnian's unusual expression. "Why is your face red?"

Shen Jingnian raised his hand to wipe his face. "Really?"

“Absolutely.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Shen Jingnian continued, "I have a slight allergy to alcohol, and it tends to affect my face more easily than normal."

"I see." Hearing this answer, Jiang Ning didn't think much of it.

the other side.

Xu Ruoying waited downstairs for a long time, but the restaurant manager did not come down to apologize.

They didn't even see Jiang Ning being rudely driven out of there.

How is this going?

Could it be that the person Shen Jingnian is going to confess to is really Jiang Ning?

No.

impossible.

She and Shen Jingnian had a 15-year relationship, so how could Shen Jingnian fall in love with someone else?

Xu Ruoying's forehead was covered in layers of cold sweat.

She couldn't accept this fact!

hold on.

She'll wait a little longer.

Shen Jingnian is a reliable person. Confessing his feelings is not a big deal for him. Perhaps Shen Jingnian wanted to practice with Jiang Ning in advance and rehearse.

After all, she was the person Shen Jingnian had secretly loved for many years.

Shen Jingnian didn't want to make such a mistake on his first confession.

Correct.

That's certainly the case.

Xu Ruoying couldn't think of any other reasonable answer besides this explanation.

After all, she and Shen Jingnian had a 15-year relationship, and Shen Jingnian would never abandon her and choose someone else.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruoying breathed a sigh of relief.

So what if Jiang Ning is beautiful?

Even being beautiful can't save you from becoming a tool!

She probably wouldn't even qualify as a mistress in Shen Jingnian's eyes.

Beep beep beep--

Xu Ruoying's phone rang, and she answered it, "Hello, Xiao Mei."

Zhang Xiaomei asked excitedly, "How did it go? How did it go? Did you accept Ninth Master's confession?"
