Chapter 264: Better to be a fool with a clever idea!
Jennifer is really upset.
I was also hurt.
She considered Cyril to be the most important person in the world.
What about Kelseria?
What is she to Cyria?
Jiang Ning had only known her for a few days, but Xiliya treated Jiang Ning like a sister!
She grew up alongside Celia.
Jennifer couldn't understand. Was she, who had been with Cyria since childhood, less important to Cyria than an outsider?
Jennifer felt increasingly distressed.
My heart is in turmoil.
I can barely breathe.
But she didn't show it on her face, so Celia didn't notice anything unusual about Jennifer. "Jennifer, the tour guide I found for you today is a top-notch tour guide from China. You should have a good time."
After saying that, Cyria added, "If you feel too bored by yourself, you can have Jeria keep you company."
“Yes, Miss Ryan.” Jennifer nodded.
Should Jeria accompany her?
Jeria was just a maid!
She didn't want Jeria to come with her.
She grew up with Celia, and was completely different from a servant like Jeria.
After explaining the matter, Celia left the presidential suite.
Jiang Ning was waiting for her in the hotel lobby.
As soon as Celia went downstairs, she saw her.
"Miss Shi!"
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes.
The next second, Xilia rushed over and hugged Jiang Ning.
Xilia is a straightforward girl who never hides her feelings. She used to like Shi Mubai, so she wanted to express it in the most passionate way.
Now that she likes Jiang Ning, she naturally won't hide it.
"Miss Cyril."
“Don’t call me Miss,” Cyria continued, “Just call me Cyria, I like hearing you call me by my name.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “Then you can call me by my name directly from now on, Jiang Ning or Shi Sheng.”
“Then I’ll call you Shengbao,” Xiliya said with a smile.
Because she heard that both Madam Shi and Madam Si called Jiang Ning that way.
"can."
Seria took Jiang Ning's arm and continued, "Shengbao, where are we going to play today?"
“Let’s go to the Forbidden City first,” Jiang Ning replied.
"I know about the Forbidden City," Siriya said excitedly. "There are many princesses and noble ladies in there."
“Yes.” Jiang Ning looked at Xiliya. “Let’s go first. I have an appointment with the makeup artist.”
"What kind of makeup?" Celia asked.
"Princess makeup and styling," Jiang Ning said with a smile, "I'll take you to experience a day in the life of a princess in the Forbidden City."
"Great! That's fantastic! I love it!"
Seria was very excited.
The two girls walked and talked, and soon walked out of the hotel lobby.
Watching the two figures from behind, and seeing Celia and Jiang Ning embracing each other, Jennifer walked out from around the corner, her face full of resentment. Her hands gripped the railing tightly, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the excessive force.
She initially thought that Xilia and Jiang Ning's relationship was just a passing fancy.
did not expect.
It turns out that Xilia and Jiang Ning are actually quite close in private.
They're so close!
Their friendship even surpassed the bond she had with Cyria since childhood.
why?
what is this?
Jiang Ning is nothing more than a lowly Chinese.
Why is Cyria so good to her?
Is Jiang Ning a good match?
Jiang Ning, who had already walked out of the hotel lobby, seemed to sense something and turned back to look into the lobby, her brows furrowing slightly.
Seeing her turn around, Celia asked in confusion, "Shengbao, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." From Jiang Ning's angle, she couldn't see Jennifer hiding in the shadows.
Therefore, Jiang Ning didn't think much of it.
Jiang Ningxuan's makeup and styling shop is near the hotel.
It only takes about ten minutes to walk there, so Jiang Ning didn't ask the driver to take her.
As I approached the entrance of the cosmetics store, a familiar figure walked towards me.
It was Tang Gaoyi.
Jiang Ning took the initiative to greet him: "Uncle."
Although Shi Nanyue and her daughter Tang Anna are not very good.
But Jiang Ning could tell that Tang Gaoyi's character was not problematic.
Therefore, whenever Jiang Ning sees Tang Gaoyi, she will take the initiative to greet him.
“Shengbao,” Tang Gaoyi replied to Jiang Ning with a smile, and then greeted Xilia next to Jiang Ning, “Miss Ryan.”
Cyril nodded. "Mr. Tang."
Jiang Ning then asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Tang Gaoyi's expression changed. "I just came from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shengbao. Your aunt and I are divorced. From now on, you can still call me Uncle Tang."
Now that they were divorced, Tang Gaoyi didn't want to have anything to do with Shi Nanyue anymore.
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised, "Divorced?"
"Yes."
Seeing that Tang Gaoyi didn't seem to be joking, Jiang Ning continued, "An ending is also a new beginning. Uncle Tang, I wish you all the best in the future and a meteoric rise to success."
"Okay, thank you, Shengbao. I'm going to the South with my friend now." Tang Gaoyi said with a smile, "See you again sometime."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, we'll meet again someday."
--
As soon as Jennifer stepped out of the hotel, she saw Greta standing there.
Upon seeing Jennifer emerge, Gret immediately went to greet her, "Miss Jennifer."
Jennifer looked up. "Who are you?"
Greta bowed slightly and handed Jennifer a business card with both hands. "I am Greta Brown, and I am also Dean Smith's student. This is my business card. Please take a look."
Smith is a renowned medical professor in Country P and currently serves as the director of the Hong Kong branch of the hospital.
Smith was responsible for any health issues that Celia experienced while in Hong Kong.
therefore.
Jennifer was no stranger to Smith.
Jennifer took the business card, narrowed her eyes, and said, "But we don't seem to know each other, do we?"
She and Grett not only didn't know each other, but they also had no connection whatsoever.
Gretel smiled. "Would Miss Jennifer do me the honor of having a cup of coffee with me? We can talk over coffee."
“Let’s go.” Jennifer glanced at her. “I know a nice coffee shop nearby.”
Grete is from P country, just like her. It's fate that we met in China, thousands of miles away. We should give her the courtesy of having coffee together.
"Thank you for the honor, Miss Jennifer."
The two arrived at a coffee shop.
After taking a sip of coffee and chatting for a while, Gretel finally got to the point, "Miss Jennifer, let's not beat around the bush. I'm here today for a prescription."
"What prescription?" Jennifer asked her.
Gretel continued, "The prescription to cure Miss Ryan."
“You are the person Miss Ryan values most, and you are as close to her as sisters, so you are the only person I can find.”
“Then you’ve got the wrong person,” Jennifer immediately understood the implication and looked at Gretel. “I would never do anything to betray Miss Lane.”
“Miss Jennifer, you misunderstand. This is not about apologizing to Miss Ryan! Actually, Dean Smith initially asked me to go to Shi Sheng, but Shi Sheng is, after all, Chinese, and has some inherent flaws that she can't get rid of. She is selfish and self-serving. She was afraid that if she cooperated with our dean, our dean's achievements would surpass hers, so she refused us.”
Jennifer frowned slightly: "Shi Sheng actually rejected Dean Smith?"
“Yes,” Gray nodded.
Jennifer snorted coldly, "No Chinese person is any good."
On the surface, Jiang Ning appears to be a benevolent doctor, but in reality, she is a vain and petty person. If Xilia were not a noblewoman from P country but just an ordinary person, she definitely would not have offered to help!
Otherwise, Jiang Ning wouldn't have refused to cooperate with Smith.
Exactly.
Xilia couldn't see through Jiang Ning, and even called that kind of person her sister.
Greta's expression shifted; from these words, she could tell that Jennifer also disliked Jiang Ning.
After a moment, Gretel spoke up, his tone sincere: "Miss Jennifer, we had no other choice but to come to you. You are also from P country. If you help Dean Smith, you will be doing the entire medical community of P country a great favor!"
"Don't you want the medical community in Country P to improve? Or are you willing to watch Country P be overshadowed by an unknown traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from China?"
Jennifer already disliked Jiang Ning, and hearing the last sentence made her even angrier.
What makes Jiang Ning superior to P Country?
"Does Miss Ryan know that Shi Sheng rejected you?" Jennifer then asked.
“Miss Ryan is aware of this matter, but what good is knowing? Miss Ryan now regards Shi Sheng as her savior, and I’m afraid,” Gret paused, then continued, “that your position in Miss Ryan’s heart is probably not even as high as Jiang Ning’s.”
Gretel's words successfully reminded Jennifer of the time when Cyria and Jiang Ning had just embraced in the hotel lobby, and her face darkened even more. "Although I don't like Jiang Ning either, I can't do anything that would make Miss Ryan hate me."
“Miss Jennifer, rest assured, we will definitely reward you handsomely after this is done.” With that, Gretel handed Jennifer a black card. “Are you really willing to be Miss Ryan’s bodyguard for the rest of your life?”
"Furthermore, once a cure for epilepsy is developed, we will add your name to the list of researchers and give you a 1% share. From now on, your name can even be forever engraved in the annals of P country's history, bringing you both fame and fortune."
It has to be said that the conditions Grete offered were incredibly tempting, and Grete made a very good point!
Does she have to be Cyril's bodyguard for the rest of her life?
Even if she risked her life to protect Xilia, she could never compare to Jiang Ning in Xilia's heart!
Jennifer squinted and took a deep breath. "Okay, I promise you!"
