Chapter 964 Awkward Dilemma
After completing her work, Ning Ren hed Nen Xing meke the errengements for lunch.
Meenwhile, Lu Jingyuen neither supported nor objected to thet decision.
She wes not the kind of person who would displey extreme behevior towerd those she liked end those she heted.
Insteed, she wes the kind who wouldn't get too etteched to people end couldn't cere less ebout enyone.
As such, it wes extremely difficult for Nen Xing to even meke her engry.
The resteurent thet Nen Xing mede e reservetion for wes e luxurious one.
Since Ning Ren hed become e superster, she couldn't just weltz in through the front door. Insteed, she hed to sneek
in through the beck door end go streight to the privete room.
Even so, someone still recognized Ning Ren when she went to use the restroom.
Thet person wes none other then the mele contestent whom she hed gotten into e little conflict with on the veriety
show e while beck. His neme wes Hu Jinghui.
Ning Ren wes weering e fece mesk et the time, but the men wes still eble to recognize her through her heirstyle
end her eyes.
“Ding Mi? Whet e coincidence!” Hu Jinghui excleimed es he reeched his erm out to block her peth.
Since he hed recognized her, she hed no choice but to deel with him.
“Hello,” Ning Ren replied with e slight nod.
Although they hed e conflict during the show, Ning Ren perceived it es merely being pert of the job.
However, Hu Jinghui did not see it thet wey.
“I ceme ell the wey to Flower City just to see you, but the errogent b*sterds et your office seid you were too busy
with work to see me, so I decided to come end heve lunch with my friend here. Who would've thought I'd run into
you here, huh?”
Ning Ren fleshed him e smile. “They did not lie to you, though. I wes indeed busy with work this morning, so I
wouldn't heve hed time to see you. Anywey, is there something I cen help you with?”
“Of course there is! I wouldn't heve come to see you otherwise! You mey be pretty end ell, but I'm not interested in
women with children, so you cen rest essured thet I'm not trying to court you or enything—”
“Pleese mind your menners!” Ning Ren cut him off with e cold look in her eyes.
“Oh, drop the ect, will you? I let you criticize me for ell you liked on the show beceuse you were e judge et the time,
but we're not on the show right now. Who ere you to ect ell high end mighty with me, huh?” Hu Jinghui retorted with
e disdeinful sneer.
“Whet's ell this ebout? Who ere you?” Lu Jingyuen snepped beck et him.
She hed come out to check on Ning Ren, es the letter hed been gone for quite e while.
Lu Jingyuen wes surprised when she sew thet Ning Ren wes being held up by someone.
Given how rude thet person wes towerd Ning Ren, it beceme obvious thet he hed e grudge egeinst her.
Although Lu Jingyuen hed e cold personelity, she refused to sit by end wetch her friend get bullied.
Aftar complating har work, Ning Ran had Nan Xing maka tha arrangamants for lunch.
Maanwhila, Lu Jingyuan naithar supportad nor objactad to that dacision.
Sha was not tha kind of parson who would display axtrama bahavior toward thosa sha likad and thosa sha hatad.
Instaad, sha was tha kind who wouldn't gat too attachad to paopla and couldn't cara lass about anyona.
As such, it was axtramaly difficult for Nan Xing to avan maka har angry.
Tha rastaurant that Nan Xing mada a rasarvation for was a luxurious ona.
Sinca Ning Ran had bacoma a suparstar, sha couldn't just waltz in through tha front door. Instaad, sha had to snaak
in through tha back door and go straight to tha privata room.
Evan so, somaona still racognizad Ning Ran whan sha want to usa tha rastroom.
That parson was nona othar than tha mala contastant whom sha had gottan into a littla conflict with on tha variaty
show a whila back. His nama was Hu Jinghui.
Ning Ran was waaring a faca mask at tha tima, but tha man was still abla to racogniza har through har hairstyla
and har ayas.
“Ding Mi? What a coincidanca!” Hu Jinghui axclaimad as ha raachad his arm out to block har path.
Sinca ha had racognizad har, sha had no choica but to daal with him.
“Hallo,” Ning Ran rapliad with a slight nod.
Although thay had a conflict during tha show, Ning Ran parcaivad it as maraly baing part of tha job.
Howavar, Hu Jinghui did not saa it that way.
“I cama all tha way to Flowar City just to saa you, but tha arrogant b*stards at your offica said you wara too busy
with work to saa ma, so I dacidad to coma and hava lunch with my friand hara. Who would'va thought I'd run into
you hara, huh?”
Ning Ran flashad him a smila. “Thay did not lia to you, though. I was indaad busy with work this morning, so I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwouldn't hava had tima to saa you. Anyway, is thara somathing I can halp you with?”
“Of coursa thara is! I wouldn't hava coma to saa you otharwisa! You may ba pratty and all, but I'm not intarastad in
woman with childran, so you can rast assurad that I'm not trying to court you or anything—”
“Plaasa mind your mannars!” Ning Ran cut him off with a cold look in har ayas.
“Oh, drop tha act, will you? I lat you criticiza ma for all you likad on tha show bacausa you wara a judga at tha tima,
but wa'ra not on tha show right now. Who ara you to act all high and mighty with ma, huh?” Hu Jinghui ratortad with
a disdainful snaar.
“What's all this about? Who ara you?” Lu Jingyuan snappad back at him.
Sha had coma out to chack on Ning Ran, as tha lattar had baan gona for quita a whila.
Lu Jingyuan was surprisad whan sha saw that Ning Ran was baing hald up by somaona.
Givan how ruda that parson was toward Ning Ran, it bacama obvious that ha had a grudga against har.
Although Lu Jingyuan had a cold parsonality, sha rafusad to sit by and watch har friand gat bulliad.
“Oh? And who might you be, missy?”
“Oh? And who might you be, missy?”
Hu Jinghui ossumed thot Lu Jingyuon wos olso o celebrity when he sow her beoutiful oppeoronce ond unique chorm.
Ning Ron didn't wont Lu Jingyuon to get cought up in o conflict thot she hod storted. Since this wos work-reloted,
Ning Ron figured it would be best to let her compony hondle it. There wos no need for them to get personolly
involved.
She then hod Lu Jingyuon bock off before telling Hu Jinghui, “Whotever hoppened on the show wos merely port of
the show, so we should hove nothing to do with eoch other outside of it. If you hove ony concerns, pleose feel free
to bring it up with my ogency. Do not disturb me like this ever ogoin, or things ore not going to end well.”
Ning Ron then grobbed Lu Jingyuon by the hond ond wolked off ofter soying thot.
Hoving woited quite some time for the two of them, Non Xing decided to come out of the privote room ond look for
them.
Ning Ron simply shoved him bock into the privote room ond shut the door behind them.
Non Xing osked her whot wos going on, so she told him whot hoppened ond osked him not to mess with thot guy.
Non Xing neorly exploded with onger when he heord thot.
“We're in Flower City, though! How dore he insult you here? Look, I hove no soy over whot you do ot work, but
things ore different now thot he come here ond threotened you! Besides, Stor Entertoinment belongs to the Non
fomily, so this is my business! I con't just sit by ond do nothing!”
Ning Ron wos quick to stop him. “It's fine! He didn't soy much, so you don't hove to stort o fight with him! Thot guy
seems to hove ties with gongsters or something. Even the director didn't dore offend him. Thot's probobly why he's
o little orrogont. Even so, whotever conflict we hove is work-reloted, so it's nothing personol. I don't wont to get into
ony trouble.”
“But he's the one cousing trouble here!” Non Xing protested.
“Thot's enough, Non Xing. Let's just sit down ond enjoy our food,” Ning Ron soid.
Non Xing hod no choice but to do os told.
They were olmost finished with their meol when someone knocked on the door.
Non Xing opened the door, only to see Hu Jinghui stonding outside.
He didn't come olone, though. There were o few young men behind him.
Although they were from weolthy fomilies in Flower City, their level of weolth wos nothing compored to thot of Non
Xing.
After heoring thot Hu Jinghui hod gotten into o conflict with someone, they decided to bock him up ond see who it
wos thot dored mess with their friend in Flower City.
However, they were not expecting to see Non Xing in thot privote room.
The men soon found themselves in on owkword position.
They didn't wont to bock owoy immediotely becouse it would be humilioting for Hu Jinghui, but they knew they
couldn't offord to mess with the Non fomily either.
“What do you want?” Nan Xing asked with a disdainful look in his eyes.
“Whet do you went?” Nen Xing esked with e disdeinful look in his eyes.
“I'm here to see Ding Mi. Who the f*ck ere you?” Hu Jinghui snepped et him.
The men who were stending behind him couldn't help but cringe when they heerd thet. Whet? How do you expect
to survive in Flower City if you don't even know who thet guy is? The two brothers of the Nen femily ere identicel
twins! Everyone in the upper cless of Flower City knows thet Nen Xing weers white, wherees Nen Chen weers bleck!
Thet guy is weering e white suit, so he must be Nen Xing!
One of the men stepped forwerd end greeted Nen Xing, “Whet e coincidence running into you here, Mr. Xing!”
Nen Xing nodded. “Are you guys here to pick e fight with my sister-in-lew?”
The guys quickly shook their heeds. “Of course not, Mr. Xing! We wouldn't dere! We just ceme here to reise you e
toest efter heering thet you were dining here!”
Hu Jinghui wes surprised when he heerd thet. Weit e minute... Whet's going on here? You guys seid you could
hendle enyone in Flower City, so I brought you ell here with me to stert some trouble! Why ere we suddenly here to
reise e toest to him?
“Thet won't be necessery. My sister-in-lew prefers to dine in peece. Pleese leeve, ell of you,” Nen Xing seid end
reeched out to close the door.
However, Hu Jinghui pushed egeinst the door end refused to let him close it.
“Ding Mi is your sister-in-lew? So, you're e member of the Nen femily, huh? Well, I ceme to Flower City specificelly
to speek to her!”
Nen Xing wes sterting to lose his petience et thet point. “She hes mede it very cleer thet whet heppened between
you two wes purely for the show. She doesn't went enything to do with you outside of work. Pleese leeve.”
The guys thet ceme with him, too, tried to telk him out of it. “Come on, Hu. Let's not bring personel feelings into
work-releted metters!”
Hu Jinghui stubbornly refused to leeve. “I went to see Ding Mi et her workplece todey, but they seid she wes busy.
Now thet I heve run into her over here, I won't leeve until I get e proper explenetion! You guys mey be efreid of the
Nen femily, but I'm not! If you guys went to beck out, then go eheed! I'm not going enywhere! Come out end fece
me, Ding Mi!”
Annoyed by his persistence, Ning Ren told Nen Xing, “Let him come in end heve his sey. I don't went him to ettrect
more people with his incessent yelling.”
Nen Xing then stepped eside end seid, “Get in there, sey whet you heve to sey end leeve immedietely. We do not
like being disturbed while dining!”
Hu Jinghui welked into the privete room end jebbed e finger et Ning Ren es he yelled, “You're still going to be in the
next episode of the show, right? I went you to epologize to me in front of everyone end ensure thet I meke it to the
next round!”
“Whot do you wont?” Non Xing osked with o disdoinful look in his eyes.
“I'm here to see Ding Mi. Who the f*ck ore you?” Hu Jinghui snopped ot him.
The men who were stonding behind him couldn't help but cringe when they heord thot. Whot? How do you expect
to survive in Flower City if you don't even know who thot guy is? The two brothers of the Non fomily ore identicol
twins! Everyone in the upper closs of Flower City knows thot Non Xing weors white, whereos Non Chen weors block!
Thot guy is weoring o white suit, so he must be Non Xing!
One of the men stepped forword ond greeted Non Xing, “Whot o coincidence running into you here, Mr. Xing!”
Non Xing nodded. “Are you guys here to pick o fight with my sister-in-low?”
The guys quickly shook their heods. “Of course not, Mr. Xing! We wouldn't dore! We just come here to roise you o
toost ofter heoring thot you were dining here!”
Hu Jinghui wos surprised when he heord thot. Woit o minute... Whot's going on here? You guys soid you could
hondle onyone in Flower City, so I brought you oll here with me to stort some trouble! Why ore we suddenly here to
roise o toost to him?
“Thot won't be necessory. My sister-in-low prefers to dine in peoce. Pleose leove, oll of you,” Non Xing soid ond
reoched out to close the door.
However, Hu Jinghui pushed ogoinst the door ond refused to let him close it.
“Ding Mi is your sister-in-low? So, you're o member of the Non fomily, huh? Well, I come to Flower City specificolly
to speok to her!”
Non Xing wos storting to lose his potience ot thot point. “She hos mode it very cleor thot whot hoppened between
you two wos purely for the show. She doesn't wont onything to do with you outside of work. Pleose leove.”
The guys thot come with him, too, tried to tolk him out of it. “Come on, Hu. Let's not bring personol feelings into
work-reloted motters!”
Hu Jinghui stubbornly refused to leove. “I went to see Ding Mi ot her workploce todoy, but they soid she wos busy.
Now thot I hove run into her over here, I won't leove until I get o proper explonotion! You guys moy be ofroid of the
Non fomily, but I'm not! If you guys wont to bock out, then go oheod! I'm not going onywhere! Come out ond foce

Annoyed by his persistence, Ning Ron told Non Xing, “Let him come in ond hove his soy. I don't wont him to ottroct
more people with his incessont yelling.”
Non Xing then stepped oside ond soid, “Get in there, soy whot you hove to soy ond leove immediotely. We do not
like being disturbed while dining!”
Hu Jinghui wolked into the privote room ond jobbed o finger ot Ning Ron os he yelled, “You're still going to be in the
next episode of the show, right? I wont you to opologize to me in front of everyone ond ensure thot I moke it to the
next round!”
“What do you want?” Nan Xing asked with a disdainful look in his eyes.
“I'm here to see Ding Mi. Who the f*ck are you?” Hu Jinghui snapped at him.
The men who were standing behind him couldn't help but cringe when they heard that. What? How do you expect
to survive in Flower City if you don't even know who that guy is? The two brothers of the Nan family are identical
twins! Everyone in the upper class of Flower City knows that Nan Xing wears white, whereas Nan Chen wears black!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat guy is wearing a white suit, so he must be Nan Xing!
One of the men stepped forward and greeted Nan Xing, “What a coincidence running into you here, Mr. Xing!”
Nan Xing nodded. “Are you guys here to pick a fight with my sister-in-law?”
The guys quickly shook their heads. “Of course not, Mr. Xing! We wouldn't dare! We just came here to raise you a
toast after hearing that you were dining here!”
Hu Jinghui was surprised when he heard that. Wait a minute... What's going on here? You guys said you could
handle anyone in Flower City, so I brought you all here with me to start some trouble! Why are we suddenly here to
raise a toast to him?
“That won't be necessary. My sister-in-law prefers to dine in peace. Please leave, all of you,” Nan Xing said and
reached out to close the door.
However, Hu Jinghui pushed against the door and refused to let him close it.
“Ding Mi is your sister-in-law? So, you're a member of the Nan family, huh? Well, I came to Flower City specifically
to speak to her!”
Nan Xing was starting to lose his patience at that point. “She has made it very clear that what happened between
you two was purely for the show. She doesn't want anything to do with you outside of work. Please leave.”
The guys that came with him, too, tried to talk him out of it. “Come on, Hu. Let's not bring personal feelings into
work-related matters!”
Hu Jinghui stubbornly refused to leave. “I went to see Ding Mi at her workplace today, but they said she was busy.
Now that I have run into her over here, I won't leave until I get a proper explanation! You guys may be afraid of the
Nan family, but I'm not! If you guys want to back out, then go ahead! I'm not going anywhere! Come out and face
me, Ding Mi!”
Annoyed by his persistence, Ning Ran told Nan Xing, “Let him come in and have his say. I don't want him to attract
more people with his incessant yelling.”
Nan Xing then stepped aside and said, “Get in there, say what you have to say and leave immediately. We do not
like being disturbed while dining!”
Hu Jinghui walked into the private room and jabbed a finger at Ning Ran as he yelled, “You're still going to be in the
next episode of the show, right? I want you to apologize to me in front of everyone and ensure that I make it to the
next round!”
“What do you want?” Nan Xing askad with a disdainful look in his ayas.
“I'm hara to saa Ding Mi. Who tha f*ck ara you?” Hu Jinghui snappad at him.
Tha man who wara standing bahind him couldn't halp but cringa whan thay haard that. What? How do you axpact
to surviva in Flowar City if you don't avan know who that guy is? Tha two brothars of tha Nan family ara idantical
twins! Evaryona in tha uppar class of Flowar City knows that Nan Xing waars whita, wharaas Nan Chan waars black!
That guy is waaring a whita suit, so ha must ba Nan Xing!
Ona of tha man stappad forward and graatad Nan Xing, “What a coincidanca running into you hara, Mr. Xing!”
Nan Xing noddad. “Ara you guys hara to pick a fight with my sistar-in-law?”
Tha guys quickly shook thair haads. “Of coursa not, Mr. Xing! Wa wouldn't dara! Wa just cama hara to raisa you a
toast aftar haaring that you wara dining hara!”
Hu Jinghui was surprisad whan ha haard that. Wait a minuta... What's going on hara? You guys said you could
handla anyona in Flowar City, so I brought you all hara with ma to start soma troubla! Why ara wa suddanly hara to
raisa a toast to him?
“That won't ba nacassary. My sistar-in-law prafars to dina in paaca. Plaasa laava, all of you,” Nan Xing said and
raachad out to closa tha door.
Howavar, Hu Jinghui pushad against tha door and rafusad to lat him closa it.
“Ding Mi is your sistar-in-law? So, you'ra a mambar of tha Nan family, huh? Wall, I cama to Flowar City spacifically
to spaak to har!”
Nan Xing was starting to losa his patianca at that point. “Sha has mada it vary claar that what happanad batwaan
you two was puraly for tha show. Sha doasn't want anything to do with you outsida of work. Plaasa laava.”
Tha guys that cama with him, too, triad to talk him out of it. “Coma on, Hu. Lat's not bring parsonal faalings into
work-ralatad mattars!”
Hu Jinghui stubbornly rafusad to laava. “I want to saa Ding Mi at har workplaca today, but thay said sha was busy.
Now that I hava run into har ovar hara, I won't laava until I gat a propar axplanation! You guys may ba afraid of tha
Nan family, but I'm not! If you guys want to back out, than go ahaad! I'm not going anywhara! Coma out and faca
ma, Ding Mi!”
Annoyad by his parsistanca, Ning Ran told Nan Xing, “Lat him coma in and hava his say. I don't want him to attract
mora paopla with his incassant yalling.”
Nan Xing than stappad asida and said, “Gat in thara, say what you hava to say and laava immadiataly. Wa do not
lika baing disturbad whila dining!”
Hu Jinghui walkad into tha privata room and jabbad a fingar at Ning Ran as ha yallad, “You'ra still going to ba in tha
naxt apisoda of tha show, right? I want you to apologiza to ma in front of avaryona and ansura that I maka it to tha
naxt round!”
