    Chapter 964 Awkward Dilemma


    Afterpleting 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 be 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 toe 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 hevee 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 hede 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.


    Aftarting har work, Ning Ran had Nan Xing maka tha arrangamants for lunch.


    Maanwh, Lu Jingyuan naithar supportad nor objactad to that dacision.


    Sha was not tha kind of parson who would disy axtrama bahavior toward thosa sha likad and thosa


    sha hatad.


    Instaad, sha was tha kind who wouldn''t gat too attachad to pao and couldn''t carass 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 ba 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 m contastant whom sha had gottan into a lit conflict with on


    tha variaty show a wh back. His nama was Hu Jinghui.


    Ning Ran was waaring a faca mask at tha tima, but tha man was still a to racogniza har through har


    hairst and har ayas.


    “Ding Mi? What a coincidanca!” Hu Jinghui aximad 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 toa and hava lunch with my friand hara. Who would''va


    thought I''d run into you hara, huh?”


    Ning Ran shad him a sm. “Thay did not lia to you, though. I was indaad busy with work this


    morning, so I wouldn''t hava had tima to saa you. Anyway, is thara somathing I can halp you with?”


    “Of coursa thara is! I wouldn''t havaa 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


    —”


    “asa mind your mannars!” Ning Ran cut him off with a cold look in har ayas.


    “Oh, drop tha act, will you? It 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 hada out to chack on Ning Ran, as thattar had baan gona for quita a wh.


    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 herpony 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 toe 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 hee 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''te olone, though. There were o few young men behind him.


    Although they were from weolthy fomilies in Flower City, their level of weolth wos nothingpored 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 explion! 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 hime 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 juste 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, Ie 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

    The guys thote with him, too, tried to tolk him out of it. “Come on, Hu. Let''s not bring personol

    Annoyed by his persistence, Ning Ron told Non Xing, “Let hime 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

    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 ss of Flower City knows that Nan Xing wears


    white, whereas Nan Chen wears ck! That 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-inw?”


    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-inw 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-inw? 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-rted matters!”


    Hu Jinghui stubbornly refused to leave. “I went to see Ding Mi at her workce 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 exnation! 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 hime 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 ss of Flowar City knows that Nan Xing waars


    whita, wharaas Nan Chan waars ck! 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-inw?”


    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

    “That won''t ba nacassary. My sistar-inw prafars to dina in paaca. asaava, all of you,” Nan Xing

    Howavar, Hu Jinghui pushad against tha door and rafusad tot him closa it.


    “Ding Mi is your sistar-inw? So, you''ra a mambar of tha Nan family, huh? Wall, I cama to Flowar City

    Annoyad by his parsistanca, Ning Ran told Nan Xing, “Lat hima in and hava his say. I don''t want
