章節 4: Breaking off the Engagement
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Ruxing's lips curled up when she heard this. If only he had done this earlier, then there wouldn't be so many problems. However, it wasn't time to return yet. There were still some things she needed to do, goals she needed to achieve. She had already been away for so long, so it shouldn't matter if she made him wait a little longer.
"Very good. Then tell him that I still need a year. When the time comes, I'll give him a surprise."
With that, Ning Ruxing hung up the phone. Many years ago, Ning Ruxing's parents suddenly disappeared so her brother took over the family business. Because he was too busy, he had never been married. And since Ning Ruxing and Lin Qiang were engaged before Ning Ruxing's parents disappeared, her brother decided to fulfill the arrangement made by their parents.
However, Ning Ruxing discovered that Lin Qiang was not only a playboy but also a villain. He was very arrogant and despotic. Thus, Ning Ruxing wanted to break off the engagement with the Lin family, but her brother felt that Ning Ruxing was unruly and willful. Moreover, to her brother, Lin Qiang seemed to be a refined and polite aristocrat, excellent in all aspects.
A few years ago, her brother had hoped that Ning Rxing could study abroad with Lin Qiang, but Ning Ruxing had secretly applied to study at a university in the capital instead, making her brother very angry. In addition, Ning Ruxing had gone to the Lin family alone before Lin Qiang went abroad, determined to break off the engagement with them.
When her brother found out about this, he was very angry and drove Ning Ruxing out of the house. He even said that if Ning Ruxing dared to go to the capital, she would never return to the Ning family! He cut off all of Ning Ruxing's finances, and so, Ning Ruxing dragged her small leather suitcase and resolutely came to the capital alone. Since then, Ning Ruxing had been preparing for her comeback.
Ning Ruxing knew that her brother had carried the family's legacy alone from a young age, which wasn't easy in this ruthless society. The reason he wanted Ning Ruxing to marry Lin Qiang was that the Lin family's strong financial resources could help the Ning family. Therefore, Ning Ruxing wanted to build a company as strong as the Lin family by herself. Then, she could help her brother and the Lin family would be of no use. Now, she had the right time and place, all she lacked was people!
Sen Ran was one of the top companies in the industry in the capital city and the country. Jin Yebei had excellent management skills which Ning Ruxing could learn a lot from. This was why she had to interview for the position of Chairman's Assistant at Sen Ran. After she finished her studies, she would start her own company!
When Ning Ruxing returned to the dormitory, her roommates were already up. Since they were in their third year of university, their class schedules were very relaxed. One was doing facial care, one was looking at study materials, and one was putting on makeup, getting ready to go out for a date. When they saw Ning Ruxing return, they put down what they were doing and looked at her eagerly.
"How did the interview go?"
Ning Ruxing was also very envious when she saw the three of them like this. After all, which girl didn't want to be a little fairy? But for the sake of her brother and the Ning family, Ning Ruxing had to persevere. Otherwise, her fate might still end up marrying someone like Lin Qiang. Ning Ruxing indifferently said, "It's alright."
The three of them were concerned about Ning Ruxing's interview mainly because she had gone to Sen Ran. They were very curious about whether the chairman of Sen Ran was as handsome as the rumors said. Or were the photos on the internet fake? Nana, who was on the opposite bed, put down the phone in her hand and asked Ning Ruxing excitedly, "Did you see Jin Yebei?"
"Is he really that handsome? Are the pictures online photoshopped?"
A few years ago, Jin Yebei suddenly became popular on the internet as some photos and videos of him were circulated. He was so handsome that all women fell in love with him. However, very few people had ever seen Jin Yebei's real appearance. That was why a few roommates were so excited. Ning Ruxing thought about what Jin Yebei looked like and smiled.
"The picture isn't photoshopped. The real person is better!"
Nana became even more excited when she heard that. She even let out a shriek like a groundhog. She had been worried that the pictures on the internet were photoshopped. Now that she had gotten her answer, how could she not be excited? Nana looked at Ning Ruxing excitedly and said with some regret.
"If I knew this would happen, I would have gone with you to the interview."
"I can't believe you met Jin Yebei!"
