Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Tipsy Cat Goes Wild
"I’m not drunk... I’m just happy!"
He supported Ning Mengyao as she stumbled into the courtyard.
She continued to widen her smile and laughed heartily.
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Ning, being happy is no excuse to drink so much."
Lin Fan said with a wry smile.
Fortunately, she was not completely unconscious this time.
Apart from a little swaying, she managed to avoid any disgraceful behavior.
"I want to drink when I’m happy... none of your business!"
Ning Mengyao pouted, a picture of proud defiance.
There were reasons she had drunk so much.
She naturally had her thoughts.
Using alcohol as a shield could pave the way for good things.
"He’s your husband, is it wrong for him to care about you?"
Just then, the voice of Grandfather Ning Zhenyue suddenly rang out.
This sent a shiver through Ning Mengyao, who was still feeling slightly dizzy.
After all, deep down, she knew.
Although Grandpa was kind and gentle, he was also very strict.
"Grandpa... I was entertaining the bank president... I really didn’t drink much... and they promised, they will unfreeze the company’s accounts tomorrow morning, and they also want to extend new credit to us."
Ning Mengyao looked at her grandfather somewhat timidly.
She tried to offset her improper state by highlighting her achievement.
"It’s good news, but don’t forget, you might be the acting CEO of the company, but you are a married woman now. Which other wife drinks herself into a stupor like this and needs her husband to take care of her?"
Ning Zhenyue walked over with a stern face.
"Grandpa, don’t be angry, Meng Yao has been busy with the company’s affairs these past few days. Now that the issue has been resolved, she has let go of her burden and is just having a few drinks to relieve the pressure, it’s nothing serious."
Lin Fan naturally had to quickly explain on behalf of his wife.
"What burden has she let go?"
Ning Zhenyue retorted with a cold expression: "Others might not know, but do you think I don’t know what my granddaughter is capable of? During this crisis in the company, it was you who were helping behind the scenes. She was merely showing her face in public. What has she to be so exhausted about? Don’t forget, once a woman has a family, she has a support. When someone shields you from the storm, you ought to be grateful."
"Grandpa, I... I understand!"
After Grandpa’s lecture, Ning Mengyao found herself speechless.
Wasn’t she also trying to use alcohol to cover her face?
And incidentally handle things that were inconvenient to do while sober.
"What’s the use of just knowing? It’s been several months, and not a stir in your belly. I’m an old man, can I even look forward to anything anymore? If it doesn’t work out, then stop working. You’ve seen Lin Fan’s abilities. Hand over the company to him, and you just stay at home and focus on getting pregnant."
Ning Zhenyue’s words took Ning Mengyao by surprise.
Just as she was about to speak up, Lin Fan had already spoken for her.
"Grandpa, that’s not what I’m cut out for. Besides, Meng Yao is a born career woman, you can’t treat her as the women of old, who just married and had children. Otherwise, wouldn’t her talents be wasted..."
"Lin Fan, don’t be so modest."
Ning Zhenyue waved his hand and interrupted Lin Fan.
"I know my own granddaughter’s worth, and even though there’s no evidence, I also know that the recent happenings within the company can’t be disconnected from my good-for-nothing son and grandson. Although we got through it safely thanks to your connections this time, who can guarantee that next time these two fools won’t commit more crazed acts?"
"Grandpa, don’t worry, with just them, they won’t be able to stir up any real trouble."
Lin Fan replied with a nonchalant smile.
He really didn’t take those two fools seriously.
"What I fear is the tragedy of kin fighting against kin!"
Ning Bingcai sighed.
His face showed a look of despair as he shook his head.
Although Ning Changfeng and Ning Bingcai had utterly corrupted hearts,
they were still his own flesh and blood.
As a father, as a grandfather,
he truly couldn’t bear to witness the strife within his own family.
"Grandpa, I know what you’re worried about, but rest assured, as long as they don’t threaten Meng Yao’s safety, I absolutely won’t lay a hand on them, and I will ensure as much as possible that they can’t get close to her."
Lin Fan naturally could understand the old man’s concerns.
If it weren’t for these familial relations.
He would have secretly taken care of those two troublemakers long ago.
"Grandpa, don’t worry... I’ll also behave myself... I promise to not drink again... and I’ll try my best to... let you hold a great-grandchild soon."
Ning Mengyao, seeing her grandpa distressed, also hurriedly tried to comfort him.
Although this matter seemed to be quite far in the future.
But she needed to at least give him some mental comfort.
"All right, I’m old now, I really don’t want to deal with the cutthroat business world anymore. Now, I’m just looking forward to the day you can give me a great-grandson to hold. Even if I were to die that day, I’d be able to close my eyes in peace."
Ning Zhenyue let out a sigh.
After warning them a bit more, he then leaned on his cane.
And made his way back to the main house.
While the two turned around and entered the east wing room.
"I feel like Grandpa suddenly aged a lot, it seems like he’s aware of what’s been going on these past few days."
Back in the room, Ning Mengyao leaned against the bed.
Looking at Grandpa’s retreating figure just now, her heart really ached.
"No matter what, at least there’s a good outcome now. The company’s funding issue has been resolved, the acquisition plan was completed on schedule, and the medical aesthetics have become a profit point. The burden on your shoulders should be much lighter now, right?"
Lin Fan also sat on the bed.
Stretching comfortably.
These past few days had really been quite busy.
"Grandpa is right, this time we managed to get through the trouble thanks to you. Actually, before I went to sleep last night, I was thinking, maybe I’m really not cut out to be some powerful woman."
Looking at the lazy Lin Fan, Ning Mengyao murmured.
She had refused his company today.
Also wanting to prove her own capabilities.
But she didn’t expect to end up shooting herself in the foot.
If it weren’t for Lin Fan arriving in time.
Who knows what would have happened.
"Nobody is born strong, and nobody can think like a sixty-year-old at the age of twenty. Hardly anyone’s life sails smoothly without challenges. After encountering storms and learning from mistakes, that’s how you can grow better. Isn’t that supposed to be the meaning of life?"
Facing the 23-year-old Ning Mengyao.
Lin Fan didn’t think she was naive.
After all, these should be happy and carefree days.
Most girls her age would be happy working as office clerks.
Yet, she had to take on such a heavy burden.
Responsible for the entire company’s management and operations.
It was already quite difficult for her.
"I’ve suddenly realized that not only are you good at undressing people, but you’re also quite understanding. This bowl of chicken soup really sobers me up; I’ll drink to that."
Ning Mengyao couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Fan’s words really warmed her heart.
"When have I ever been skilled at undressing people?"
Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao helplessly.
"Of course, that day on the mountain... you reached in and it came undone, and you still say you don’t know how."
Ning Mengyao pursed her lips.
"That’s a special skill, learned originally for battlefield rescue. If you need to bandage a wound, of course, you have to undo what shouldn’t be there, but usually, we practiced on dummies. That day was my first real operation."
Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
But to Ning Mengyao’s ears, there was a different connotation.
"My goodness, you actually have training specifically for undoing women’s undergarments, what a perverse military unit!"
