Chapter 350: The truth is being revealed!
According to Block.
Jiang Ning definitely chose Will.
Will is not only rich, but also powerful and handsome.
Compared to Will, he is indeed far inferior.
It would be only natural for Jiang Ning to choose Will.
“No.” Cyril shook her head.
Brock was incredibly surprised to hear his sister's answer.
Few people can resist Will's advances!
He had never heard of it, at least not in Country P.
besides........
Does Jiang Ning's rejection of Brock mean he has even the slightest chance?
Thinking of this, Brock's eyes lit up again.
Although he and Jiang Ning didn't spend much time together, he still liked her.
It's the kind of liking that you can't control.
Cyril immediately saw through her brother's thoughts and extinguished all of Brock's fantasies with her words, "Third brother, don't overthink it. What I mean is, Sheng Bao doesn't even like Will, how could she possibly like you?"
That's a bit harsh to say.
But that's the truth.
Upon hearing this, the light in Brock's eyes quickly dimmed again.
Yes.
Cyril is right.
Jiang Ning doesn't even like Will, so why would she like him?
Seria patted Brock on the shoulder and comforted him, "Third Brother, think positively. There's a saying in China: 'There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?' Although you may not meet anyone better than Sheng Bao in the future, you will definitely meet someone more suitable for you."
Brock forced a smile. "Well, I guess so!"
But is it really possible?
Brock didn't know either.
at the same time.
Windsor Castle.
Upon learning that Jiang Ning had rejected his flowers, Will smiled and said, "Heh, interesting, this is getting more and more interesting."
Ham looked at Will and asked uncertainly, "Lord, shall we continue sending flowers to Miss Shi?"
After all, Jiang Ning had already told Will through her caregiver not to waste time on meaningless things.
"Give it to her! Of course we'll give it to her!" Will narrowed his eyes. "I refuse to believe that the 'playing hard to get' technique that Ninth Master taught me won't work on her!"
Shen Jingnian's art of feigning indifference was so convincing that Jiang Ning was no stranger to it.
Even when applied to a grown man like him, he couldn't resist.
Ham nodded.
After a moment, Ham added, "By the way, Lord, there is one more thing."
"Speak," Will said calmly.
Ham continued, "Monday is Miss Zheng's birthday, and the Zheng family castle sent over an invitation."
A look of disgust flashed in Will's eyes. "I'm not going."
He finds the Zheng family the most disgusting.
"Miss Shi will most likely accompany Miss Ryan to the Zheng family's banquet."
"Really?" Will immediately became interested.
“It’s true,” Ham added. “Miss Lane went to see Miss Shi and her friends this morning.”
The Windsor family had spies planted in every noble household.
In the presence of royalty, no noble household has any secrets.
This is not.
Cyril had just told the driver in the car that she would pick up Jiang Ning for the banquet next Monday, and then she immediately relayed the news to Will.
“Since Shi Sheng is going, I’ll naturally join in the fun too.” Will’s eyes flashed with interest. “Go and make preparations. We’ll attend the Zheng family’s banquet on Monday.”
"Yes, sir. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
“Go ahead,” Will waved his hand.
Ham turned and left.
Just as Ham was about to leave the room, Will seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to Ham, "Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else you need?" Ham stopped and turned to look at Will.
Will stroked his chin. "If I remember correctly, Shi Sheng's flight back to China was supposed to be this morning, right? What, she hasn't gone back yet?"
“That’s right,” Ham nodded. “Miss Shi canceled her ticket last night.”
Will narrowed his eyes. "She clearly decided to go back, but suddenly stayed. Ham, what do you think she's trying to do?"
Ham thought for a moment, then said, "I think Miss Shi stayed in P country because of your pursuit. She knows that you would never chase after her to China."
Ham couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
After all, Will is no ordinary person.
Jiang Ning, being pursued by such a distinguished person, would certainly not be willing to give up.
Clearly, Will was very satisfied with the answer. "You make a very good point, Ham. I never thought you could be so quick-witted! It seems that Shi Sheng is already somewhat tempted. If I keep trying, she will definitely accept my advances."
Then, we'll soon see Jiang Ning cry!
Will became more and more excited as he thought about it.
He could almost picture Jiang Ning kneeling on the ground, crying, clutching his sleeve and begging him not to leave.

Zheng Family Castle.
Mrs. Zheng had sandalwood incense burning in her bedroom to calm her nerves, and because she often had nightmares, she also had a Buddha statue in her bedroom.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Grandma Zheng had already fallen asleep and drifted off to sleep.
Twenty-one years ago.
Inside the Zheng family's old residence.
Zheng Xiangqian and his wife were having a meal in the restaurant.
Sudden.
Zheng Xiangqian put down his chopsticks and looked at Old Madam Zheng: "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead and say it," said Grandma Zheng, putting down her chopsticks.
Zheng Xiangqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I like Si Huashang."
Si Huashang?
Upon hearing the name, Old Mrs. Zheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it Miss Si?"
The eldest daughter of the Si family is famous throughout Hong Kong.
She was also the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong!
Zheng Xiangqian used to think that this was just an empty title, until he met Si Huashang by chance.
In that fleeting glance, Si Huashang left a deep impression on his heart.
He felt that he would marry no one but Si Huashang in this lifetime.
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed. "If you like her, then go for it! The Si family is practically the local tyrants of Hong Kong. All eight of her brothers are outstanding individuals. If you win Si Huashang's heart, half of the Si family will be yours!"
The Si family is powerful and influential; what mother-in-law wouldn't like a daughter-in-law like that?
If Zheng Xiangqian marries Si Huashang, the Zheng family's future will be much easier.
"What about Zhizhou?" Zheng Xiangqian glanced at the young woman watering the plants in the courtyard.
Xu Zhizhou was Zheng's adopted daughter-in-law.
He was raised in the Zheng family when he was ten years old and had a very good relationship with Zheng Xiangqian.
"What are you afraid of?" Old Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes, a deep disgust flashing in them. "You and she haven't even registered your marriage!"
If it weren't for Old Master Zheng's insistence on keeping Xu Zhizhou as Zheng Xiangqian's child bride, Old Madam Zheng would never have allowed such a person to enter the family.
Zheng Xiangqian's face was full of hesitation.
Although he and Xu Zhizhou were not yet married, they had already been living as husband and wife.
Zheng Xiangqian felt somewhat reluctant to abandon Xu Zhizhou now.
"She...she's pregnant." After a long pause, Zheng Xiangqian finally spoke.
Pregnant???
Grandma Zheng's expression changed almost instantly. "Pregnant? When did this happen?!"
“It’s been a month already.” Zheng Xiangqian’s expression was also somewhat grim.
Grandma Zheng frowned deeply.
That little bitch has some really good tricks up her sleeve!
Knowing that she looked down on him, she resorted to despicable means to get pregnant with the Zheng family's child.
shameless!
What a shameless little whore!
Old Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "So what if she's pregnant? Does her child, born to a lowly woman, deserve to be the eldest grandson of the Zheng family? Take her to the hospital right now for an abortion!"
Before Zheng Xiangqian could answer, Old Mrs. Zheng said again, "No, we can't take her to the hospital for an abortion. How about this, I'll arrange it and find a clinic."
Going to the hospital requires leaving a record.
The Si family is no ordinary family. If Zheng Xiangqian really wins Si Huashang's heart, the Si family will definitely investigate Zheng Xiangqian's affairs thoroughly.
If the Si family knew that Xu Zhizhou had been pregnant with Zheng Xiangqian and had an abortion, would they still allow Si Huashang to marry into the family?
and so!
Xu Zhizhou should not be taken to the hospital.
Zheng Xiangqian frowned slightly. "Mom, isn't it a bit unsafe to go to a small clinic?"
Old Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly, "What's there to be afraid of? That bitch is tough as nails! She won't die."
If she really died, it would save her a lot of trouble.
Grandma Zheng had long disliked Xu Zhizhou.
At this point, Old Madam Zheng looked at Zheng Xiangqian and continued, "Xiangqian, you just go after Miss Si, leave the family matters to me."
“Okay.” Zheng Xiangqian nodded, then said, “But Mom, don’t have too much faith in me. I heard that Miss Si already has a boyfriend.”
Grandma Zheng didn't care at all, and snorted, "Having a boyfriend doesn't mean you're married, what's there to be afraid of? Go ahead and pursue him! A good woman is afraid of being pursued! This is a new society now, everyone has the freedom to pursue love."
Grandma Zheng's words encouraged Zheng Xiangqian, and he instantly became full of confidence in pursuing Si Huashang.
So, a month later.
Xu Zhizhou aborted her first child.
During this time, Zheng Xiangqian failed to even meet Si Huashang, let alone pursue her. His love letters to her also went unanswered.
The following spring.
Xu Zhizhou was forced to abort her third child with Zheng Xiangqian at a small clinic.
This time, Xu Zhizhou was not as lucky as the first two times. She suddenly suffered a massive hemorrhage while undergoing surgery at a small clinic. The clinic owner advised the Zheng family to transfer to another hospital immediately, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
But Old Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed, "Then let her die!"
She was worried about how to deal with Xu Zhizhou.
It was also at this time that news of Si Huashang and Shi Nanxing's marriage arrived.
Upon hearing the news, Zheng Xiangqian went berserk, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "How could she get married? How could she marry someone else? I lost three children because of her! Three children! And yet she betrayed me!"
