Chapter 3416
3416 Men Never Kneel Down
After having a meal together, Ning Muqing and Leng Xiaoyao and the other girls became friends and added each other on WeChat.
They had just met, so their friendship was still in the early stages and not yet close.
It would take time to know if a friend was good or not.
...After the meal, Ning Muqing’s brother came to pick her up. Mu Beihan’s chauffeur also came to pick her up while Leng Xiaoyao drove An Chenmeng and Xiong Manxin back home, since her car was parked in a nearby parking lot.
As they walked out of the restaurant, they saw Ning Guanjie waiting for Ning Muqing outside.
Ning Guanjie was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, tall, handsome, and refined.
When Ning Guanjie saw Leng Xiaoyao and her friends, he was surprised and impressed by how beautiful they were.
Even the one who was a little overweight wasn’t unattractive and would definitely be a beauty if she lost weight.
Ning Guanjie wasn’t someone who judged people by their appearance. If someone was good-looking, he would be impressed, but he wouldn’t have any immoral thoughts. If someone wasn’t good-looking, he wouldn’t feel any disgust.
Ning Muqing immediately introduced Leng Xiaoyao and her friends to Ning Guanjie. “This is Leng Xiaoyao. This is Mu Beihan. This is An Chenmeng. This is Xiong Manxin, and this is Song Xinyue. Today they helped me and helped me find out what kind of person Wang Pengyu is.”
“Thank you so much for your help today. If you have time in the future, please let me treat you to a meal. I hope you can give me the honor.” Ning Guanjie sincerely thanked them and invited them, even though Ning Muqing had already treated them.
Leng Xiaoyao declined. “No need, Mr. Ning. We’ve already been treated by Muqing today.”
“She has treated you, but as Muqing’s brother, I also want to thank you in person. Let’s just consider it as making friends!” Ning Guanjie said sincerely.
If so, Leng Xiaoyao no longer refused. “Well then, we accept your invitation. We have already exchanged contact information with Muqing. Let’s meet again when we have time.”
“Okay.” Ning Guanjie said, “Where are you going? Shall I arrange a car to take you?”
His car couldn’t accommodate so many people, so he would have to make other arrangements for Leng Xiaoyao.
“No need, I drove here myself. Beihan’s family will pick her up, and I’ll just take the others back to school.” Leng Xiaoyao declined.
In that case, Ning Guanjie and his sister left.
After sending Mu Beihan into her car, Leng Xiaoyao and the others slowly walked towards the parking lot.
…
In the car.
Ning Guanjie said, “The name Leng Xiaoyao sounds familiar to me, but I can’t remember where I heard it.”
Ning Muqing teased him. “Brother, are you interested in her?”
“Of course not, don’t talk nonsense. Am I the kind of person who judges people by their appearance?” Ning Guanjie immediately scolded her. If other people heard that, they might think that he was a playboy.
He had a good impression of Leng Xiaoyao and felt that she was extraordinary. However, that wasn’t enough for him to be interested in her. He wasn’t superficial.
“Fine!” Ning Muqing knew what kind of person her brother was and continued joking with him. “Leng Xiaoyao is a new student at the Capital University.”
“The Capital University and a freshman…” Ning Guanjie whispered the words to himself, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Seeing how serious he looked, Ning Muqing believed that he might have really heard Leng Xiaoyao’s name before. She was also curious about what Leng Xiaoyao had done to make her brother remember her name.
After thinking for a while, Ning Guanjie finally remembered. “I remember it now. Leng Xiaoyao is the chairman of Xiaoyao Technology and the developer of the game, Who’s the Ruler.”
Ning Guanjie suddenly slapped himself on the head in regret. “Damn! I didn’t remember it until now. If I had remembered earlier, I would have talked to her more.”
Ning Muqing wasn’t a gamer, but she knew about Xiaoyao Technology and Who’s the Ruler, because they were very popular online. However, she hadn’t paid attention to who the boss of Xiaoyao Technology was.
“Are you sure?” Ning Muqing was shocked. She couldn’t believe that she had met such a formidable person.
“I’m sure. You can check online if you don’t believe me. There should be photos of Leng Xiaoyao,” said Ning Guanjie.
Ning Muqing didn’t distrust Ning Guanjie, but she wanted to confirm it herself, so she immediately took out her phone to search.
After a while, she found it. The photo was indeed Leng Xiaoyao, who was the chairman of Xiaoyao Technology and the developer of Who’s the Ruler.
“Oh my God! This is too amazing!” Ning Muqing was already a bit admiring of Leng Xiaoyao’s skills today, and at this moment she admired her even more.
Seeing that Ning Muqing was distracted by Leng Xiaoyao, Ning Guanjie temporarily didn’t mention Wang Pengyu in front of her, so as not to make her sad again.
…
Leng Xiaoyao, however, ran into something else again.
Several people were walking back to the parking lot. An Chenmeng was playing with her phone when suddenly someone ran past her and snatched her phone.
An Chenmeng didn’t expect this to happen and was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she saw Leng Xiaoyao chasing after the thief.
“I can’t believe this thief dared to rob me. How audacious!” An Chenmeng cursed and ran after him.
Xiong Manxin and Song Xinyue were afraid of getting lost, so they immediately followed after.
Leng Xiaoyao soon caught up with the thief and kicked him to the ground, retrieving the phone.
It turned out that the thief was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in rags and with a dirty face. He was obviously a beggar.
However, his handsome features couldn’t be hidden.
This face made Leng Xiaoyao feel inexplicably familiar, but she was sure that she had never seen it before.
Could it be from her previous incarnation?
Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t remember for the time being, but because of this inexplicable familiarity, she wasn’t that angry with the boy’s behavior.
“Boss, how should we deal with this thief? Should we call the police?” An Chenmeng caught up and angrily looked at the thief, before asking Leng Xiaoyao.
“Please, don’t call the police. I won’t do it again. I won’t do it again…” The boy immediately knelt down and begged them when he heard this.
Seeing the boy kneel down, Leng Xiaoyao was somewhat angry. She went up and pulled him up. “Men never kneel down. Stand up!”
