Chapter 39 -38: Dining with the Qi Family Members (Two Chapters Combined)

About ten minutes later, Jiang Ning appeared at the entrance of Shixin Hotel.

The three Qi family members had been sitting on the hotel lobby’s sofa waiting for Jiang Ning ever since they heard she agreed to meet. When Jiang Ning’s figure appeared at the entrance, the receptionist hadn’t yet reacted, but the three Qi family members, who had watched that surveillance video several times, recognized Jiang Ning at first glance.

Ji Shuang quickly stood up and briskly walked over to Jiang Ning, her well-maintained face carrying a friendly smile.

The reactive receptionist followed close behind Ji Shuang, taking the initiative in introducing to Jiang Ning, “Miss Jiang, this is Young Master Qi’s mother.”

Then pointing at the slightly slower Huo Jingshan and Qi Chen, she said, “This is Young Master Qi’s father and older brother.”

Jiang Ning puzzled, “Young Master Qi?”

As her eyes followed the introduction of the hotel staff and landed on Huo Jingshan and Qi Chen, Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback.

“It’s my younger son, Qi Xingzhou. He was the one who encountered the elevator incident with you that night,” Ji Shuang spoke up, looking at Jiang Ning, who was fair-looking and dressed refreshingly. The more she looked, the more she liked her, feeling a particular affinity.

“We owe you a great deal for that night. My son Xingzhou has claustrophobia, and if it hadn’t been for your help, we don’t know what might have happened that day.”

The gratitude on Ji Shuang’s face was so rich it was difficult to ignore. Jiang Ning didn’t quite understand Ji Shuang’s eagerness and modestly said, “Auntie, I really didn’t do much.”

She was telling the truth; in the elevator that day, she hadn’t been of much help to Qi Xingzhou. At best, she had taken a small night lamp from her backpack and given it to him.

And it was a very cheap small night lamp.

Ji Shuang smiled and shook her head. Jiang Ning didn’t know about Qi Xingzhou’s condition, so she felt it was not much. But the hotel lobby was bustling with people and not a good place to talk. Ji Shuang affectionately took Jiang Ning by the hand, “It’s almost noon now, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Could we treat you to a meal?”

Jiang Ning had agreed to come to the hotel on her phone because she felt that the other party was sincere since they were already waiting for her in the hotel.

She also happened to be driving around outside with nothing to do, so she had agreed to come and meet.

In Jiang Ning’s initial thoughts, the meeting was supposed to be a simple one with a few words exchanged before departure.

Now… to have a meal together?

It seemed not too bad.

Jiang Ning smiled and accepted, “I haven’t eaten yet and am a bit hungry, thank you, Auntie.”

Ji Shuang was delighted and immediately led Jiang Ning up to the VIP Pavilion’s private room on the second floor.

The first and second floors of Shixin Hotel were dining areas for guests, often booked for weddings, full moon ceremonies, celebration parties, etc., with the hotel’s accommodations located from the third floor upwards.

The waiter considerately followed the group and, after they were seated, handed out the menu.

Ji Shuang sat next to Jiang Ning, pushed the menu towards her, and asked if there was anything specific she wanted to eat.

The Wealthy Madam had no airs about her and was very approachable. Jiang Ning lowered her head and looked through the menu with her, boldly choosing two dishes that she liked.

Ji Shuang also inquired whether Jiang Ning had any allergies or dislikes, and upon receiving Jiang Ning’s response, Ji Shuang skillfully ticked off eight or nine dishes on the menu, including two desserts and a fruit platter.

The waiter took the menu and left, and sitting in his seat, Huo Jingshan suddenly spoke with a firm voice, “Miss Jiang, do you recognize us?”

Truly worthy of being a business tycoon!

Such sharp intuition!

All she did was glance at the father and son just now!

Jiang Ning lifted her head, smiled, and nodded in acknowledgment, “I’ve seen you from a distance at a social event before.”

“Oh? What kind of social event?” Ji Shuang asked curiously, “Jiang Jiang looks so young, you must still be in university, aren’t you? Was it a social event you attended with an elder from your family?”

Ji Shuang, like a person who easily makes herself at home, called her Jiang Jiang directly after hearing the staff address Jiang Ning as Miss Jiang.

Jiang Ning, “Yes, something like that. I just graduated this year and do not have a stable job at the moment.”

The social event was last year.

Back then, the father of a company’s CEO was celebrating his birthday. Huo Song had gone to great lengths to secure an invitation.

Originally, Huo Song did not want to take Jiang Ning with him. In his eyes, although Jiang Ning was his biological daughter, she had grown up in the countryside and was unfamiliar with high society etiquette, unlike Huo Miao who was well-versed in everything.

But Huo Miao loved bringing Jiang Ning to such grand events because she always felt a sense of superiority being contrasted against Jiang Ning.
