Robbin: Merry Christmas to all!

When President Ning arrived at the hospital, Father Ning had already undergone a thorough examination of his whole body.

The doctor took the medical records and reported the general situation to President Ning. “Overall, the situation is pretty good, but there will be a long recovery period. Family members must be mentally prepared.”

In this regard, President Ning had already expected it in his heart. It was already fortunate that Ning Zhen could wake up. The Ning family had no shortage of money for rehabilitation training so Ning Zhen could naturally take his time.

He nodded. “Understood. Doctor, can I speak to him for a moment?”

“Yes, but the patient needs to rest so the chat mustn’t exceed more than half an hour.”

President Ning smiled gently. “It won’t take that long.”

After entering the ward, President Ning quickly locked eyes with Father Ning who was lying on the hospital bed. Compared to his previous state when he was in a coma, Father Ning’s complexion looks much better now. Although he still looks a little bleak, at least he didn’t look so lifeless.

President Ning took the lead in introducing himself, “Second Uncle, hello, I’m your nephew, Ning Xuchen. You can call me Xiao Chen or my ranking in the family. I am second in my line.”

Father Ning opened his mouth but could only utter a few incomprehensible syllables.

President Ning sat down beside him and patted his arm in comfort. “Second Uncle, it’s not convenient for you to talk at the moment so you can just listen to me.”

Ning Zhen looked quietly at this relative whom he had never met before.

But although that was the case, he had heard Ning Xuchen’s voice intermittently when he was still not fully conscious.

President Ning let out a long sigh. “Grandpa misses you very much. This year, our family returned to the country just to reunite with you. Unexpectedly, we found that you had a serious car accident seven years ago.”

Had they known, grandfather would have returned a few years ago.

After saying so, President Ning quickly changed the topic and smiled, “Good thing you’re awake now.”

Ning Zhen couldn’t speak, so President Ning started all the topics.

He continued, “Grandpa hasn’t been in good health for the past two years. I originally didn’t want to mention the fact that you were in a coma before, but thinking of Grandpa’s tough character, I still decided to tell him the truth.

He has now learned of the good news and will come to see you soon.”

Thinking how it was difficult for him to even get up that he had to let his old father come to visit, Ning Zhen felt guilty. But it had already happened so it’s useless to think too much.

President Ning went on, “Since we have found you, Grandpa’s idea is to hold a banquet to let everyone know of this good news.”

It was indeed a good thing to find their family members and reunite with everyone.

Father Ning raised his hand, motioning for President Ning to continue.

“Grandpa has mentioned it to Xiao Yu before, but she didn’t agree on the spot. What she wanted is for you to decide about these matters yourself. What do you think?”

Ning Xiaoyu has never had any contact with them. It could be seen that she didn’t really want to get in touch with them either. She’s probably afraid that they would be a trouble.

To his regret, during the most difficult moment of her life, they, Ning Xiaoyu’s relatives, had never showed up.

Now they finally appeared when it was getting better.

Putting himself in her shoes, President Ning probably wouldn’t be able to immediately accept this group of so-called relatives as well.

Father Ning tried his best to speak, “……O……okay.”

President Ning tentatively asked, “Then you and Xiao Yu will be the main characters of the banquet?”

Hearing these words, Father Ning slowly but firmly shook his head.

President Ning’s heart sank.

His second uncle wouldn’t still be thinking of his ex-wife and youngest daughter, would he?

One must know that the pair of mother and daughter have never visited him even once in the past seven years, and they even acted as if they wished that Ning Zhen would die quickly and stop dragging them down.

Moreover, the other person had been remarried to President Shen. No matter how they were doing behind the scenes, at least they were doing well on the surface.

If his second uncle was still thinking about them……

It seems there’s no other way than persuading him more.

Just when President Ning was thinking whether he should tell Father Ning about the extreme things that the mother and daughter had done in the past seven years, Father Ning tried his best to say, “Yu.”

President Ning’s brows furrowed slightly. “You mean Ning Xiaoyu?”

Father Ning nodded vigorously.

President Ning speculated, “What about Xiao Yu? You want to see her? It’s a pity that she’s still recording a show. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her right away.”

Father Ning shook his head.

President Ning continued speculating, “Then you want to talk to her now? A call should still be possible.”

Thinking of the heartfelt words of longing he had heard from his dazed consciousness, Father Ning fell into silence for a moment.

He owed his eldest daughter a great deal.

Remembering that Ning Xuchen was still there, he shook his head slowly again.

This man with gray temples had long since lost the spiritedness he had when he was younger.

President Ning saw in him the shadow of a man who had suffered from the hardships of life.

President Ning couldn’t bear to look at him for a while.

How could his second uncle, who was obviously born into a prestigious family, have led a life like this?

He was momentarily puzzled by Father Ning’s meaning when suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility. “You mean, the main character of the banquet will only be Xiao Yu? You want to remain on the background?” He wanted the main stage for Ning Xiaoyu?

This time, Father Ning finally nodded.

President Ning heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that during the seven years of his coma, Father Ning have figured something out.

How could a person forcefully keep a person who was hell-bent on leaving?

Sometimes, being too persistent wasn’t a good thing.

President Ning nodded and said, “I’ll arrange this matter as soon as possible. I will make sure to do it stylishly and beautifully. Xiao Yu won’t be missing anything, rest assured!”

Ning Zhen was assured of the ability of this nephew who he had met for the first time.

After all, this was the child of his older brother who had always done things vigorously and swiftly.

That’s pretty much the end of the conversation.

President Ning didn’t continue to disturb Father Ning’s rest and quickly bid farewell. Father Ning would still meet the old man later.

He had no idea what the father and son would say after being separated for decades.

However, this matter wasn’t something that President Ning, a grandson, should be involved in.

———

On the other side, Ning Xiaoyu still had no idea that Father Ning had woken up. She was lying comfortably on the grass.

The repellent powder given by the natives worked well. At least no mosquitos harassed her while she was lying down.

She completely emptied her mind and lazed around. It was then that Ning Yuwei’s team finally arrived.

Brother Wang was the eldest in the team, so he stepped forward to negotiate as the representative.

Holding a few pieces of chocolate given by Ning Yuwei in his hand, he gestured to his mouth, “Gruel. We want gruel.”

It might be because their group came in force and there were so many people, the natives showed obvious hostility to their appearance. And in no time, many people with bows and arrows rushed out from their dwellings.

Mu Jiajia frowned. “Brother Wang, something’s not right. Why do I feel like they don’t welcome us?”

Shen Yueyue, who heard this dialogue from a distance: “……”

How can they welcome a large group of people who seem to be looking for a fight? It’s good enough that they didn’t fight directly with you guys.

The primitive people let out low, intermittent growls, like the sound a dog makes when it sees an enemy.

It could be seen that they were warning this group of people to stay away, otherwise they would resort to force.

Ning Yuwei saw that the atmosphere on both sides was tense and that a fight was about to break out, so she hurriedly said, “Hungry, eat!”

Ning Xiaoyu used these two words to ask people for food before and they’re also using them, so it should be fine, right?

Shen Yueyue, who had been eating melons as she watched the nearby show, couldn’t help but snort out a laugh after hearing Ning Yuwei’s words.

While Ning Yuwei dislikes Ning Xiaoyu and her actions, at the same time she wants to imitate Ning Xiaoyu.

It’s so her.

Moreover, they appeared high and mighty as they hold out chocolates in their hands like they were giving charity to the natives. Were they really there to exchange for gruel? It’s not to pick a fight?

Fortunately, Shen Yueyue didn’t make much noise and no one else noticed her.

However, Ning Yuwei didn’t achieve a positive effect after saying these words.

The natives did not understand her meaning.

At the beginning, the chief saw Ning Xiaoyu had a salted fish face that would not cause trouble and there was a salty smell emanating from her body. Coupled with her rich and humorous body movements, it was only then that he understood her meaning.

Moreover, Ning Xiaoyu’s body movements were extremely grounded and simple to understand. It made her blend into the tribe easily, quickly shortening the distance between the two sides.

It was predictable that Ning Yuwei’s words wouldn’t have any effect.

The natives vigilantly and coldly surveyed the large group. At this time, in addition to low growls, some of them began to make gibberish sounds.

【What are they talking about? Does anyone know this language?】

【Who knows? Do you think everyone is like the salted fish king? With a talent for language?】

【There are so many of them and the natives look poor so they may not necessarily give out food.】

【Since they came to ask for food, can’t they act more friendly?】

While some viewers who weren’t fans of Ning Yuwei couldn’t help complaining, the atmosphere on both sides became more and more tense.

Seeing that the other side were gripping the bows and arrows tighter, the program team quickly raised their hands to show that they were non-aggressive.

They didn’t dare to leave at will, for fear that the natives would shoot arrows behind their backs.

Damn it, these primitive people were barbaric and backwards!

Why did they think that the other side would agree to trade with them before?

At this time, the director finally remembered that Ning Xiaoyu seemed to know a little of the other side’s language. He immediately asked around for her whereabouts, and under the guidance of the audience, he found the salted fish king lying around leisurely.

When the director saw Ning Xiaoyu, he was speechless for a while.

They were restless over there, but she’s resting here comfortably?

Was this the difference between people?

He coughed lightly. “Xiao Yu, we’re in a bit of a trouble right now, can you help us make peace?”

Ning Xiaoyu was interrupted from her sleep and was too lazy to speak for a while. She only said one word lazily, “What?”

Director: “As long as you can help ease the conflict between the two sides, I’ll give you an extra pay!”

Ever since Ning Xiaoyu had been bound to the love system, she hadn’t been short of money to spend. But since there was a day when the system was bounded, there would definitely be a day when it would be unbounded.

The love system would leave sooner or later.

But the money in her hands would never leave.

Thinking so, Ning Xiaoyu opened one eye and slowly asked, “How much?”

【Here it is, here it is, the salted fish king’s special skill of using only one eye!】

【I’m dying of laughter. Xiao Yu’s side is quiet and peaceful, which is in stark contrast to the tense situation over that side.】

【Salted Fish King: As long as I hide fast, trouble won’t be able to keep up with me.】

The director gritted his teeth and said directly, “I’ll give you the same pay as a young actress!”

There’s only one young actress in 《Hi, My Friend》.

It was Ning Yuwei. Ning Xiaoyu used to get the lowest pay which was incomparable to the former. Now, her pay would become the same as Ning Yuwei’s.

With still one eye open, Ning Xiaoyu said, “All right.”

The love system looked satisfied. 【Girl, you’ve finally improved.】

In the past, the host was too lazy to bother with that cheap sister of hers, salty to the point of outrageousness.

After saying so, Ning Xiaoyu remained lying on the ground. “Add one more condition.”

The director hurriedly asked, “What do you want to add?”

“You’ll be in charge for the dinner of the four of us.”

The director gritted his teeth. “Okay!”

Wasn’t it just dinner?! As long as there was no conflict with the natives and nothing happens to the guests, all was well!

After receiving the director’s promise, Ning Xiaoyu slowly got up from the ground.

She held up her hand and said, “Danayi, danayi!”
