Chapter 195 Shen Qingyan: Comrade, please have some self-respect!!!

Or is it just because we live on the same floor and often run into each other, so we greet each other politely?

Ning Yiman really couldn't figure out the relationship between these people.

I don't even know if the siblings heard me talking about Qiao Changdong when they were downstairs.

If these people just happen to live across the street from the Yan family and have no connection whatsoever, then she doesn't need to care.

But if this group of people are really related to the Yan family mother and son, then her previous conflict with someone downstairs will be exposed sooner or later.

That would inevitably leave a bad impression on the other party.

Ning Yiman quickly went through all these things in her mind and finally made the best plan for herself.

She watched as Grandma Qiao and the Jiang siblings approached.

She clapped her hands with a smile and said, "Oh dear, it seems this misunderstanding has really blown up a lot today."

"But there's a saying, 'No fight, no friendship,' right?"

"It seems we can't skip this meal. You comrades and other companions, let's invite them all together. Let me treat you to a simple meal to express my apologies, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight because of the guilt."

Ning Yiman's thinking was rather simple.

She wanted to make a good impression on the people in front of her before meeting the man from before.

However, while she was inviting everyone, her eyes were fixed on Shen Qingyan, who was holding Qiao Qiao.

She unconsciously brushed a stray hair behind her ear, and her smile was even more gentle and sweet than when she was with other people.

That meaning is clear to everyone.

Mo Wenpei and Qiao Xiaoyun were both women, and they immediately understood that the woman in front of them had ulterior motives.

No wonder they started bothering me for no reason; they were waiting here all along.

The two exchanged a glance, neither responding, watching Shen Qingyan holding Qiao Qiao as if they were watching a spectacle.

Shen Qingyan, who was being watched by everyone, was completely oblivious to the subtle gazes of the three women. His heart and eyes were only on the daughter in his arms. He shook his head and said to Ning Yiman, who was looking at him expectantly, "No need."

He nodded to Grandma Qiao and picked up Qiao Qiao to go downstairs.

They didn't even glance at Jiang Shengnan and Jiang Min, who suddenly appeared beside Grandma Qiao.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Ning Yiman was surprised that Shen Qingyan was so apathetic and was about to leave without saying a word. She subconsciously reached out her hand to him, trying to stop him from leaving.

Ning Yiman really just reached out her hand subconsciously.

She knew that the social atmosphere in China was not as open as it was abroad, and under normal circumstances, she would not actually touch a strange man.

This was because they were really anxious and afraid the person would leave, so they reached out to grab them.

But to her surprise, Shen Qingyan's gaze suddenly sharpened when he saw her outstretched hand.

His face, which had been normal just moments before, suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were icy and devoid of any warmth.

The sudden change in the aura startled her, and her face turned pale instantly.

The outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

But what embarrassed her even more were the five words Shen Qingyan said next.

"Comrade, please have some self-respect."

Please have some self-respect!

Ning Yiman's face turned from white to red.

I was so ashamed and indignant that I wanted to die.

She was screaming inwardly, how could this man be so clueless about romance!

So what if she ran into him?!

He's a man, she's a woman, so how could he possibly be at a disadvantage?!

She should have some self-respect!

In fact, Ning Yiman didn't know that it was fortunate that she met Shen Qingyan in a hotel. If it had happened anywhere else, just the fact that she suddenly reached out and dared to touch him would have been enough to get her into serious trouble.

After Shen Qingyan finished speaking, he carried Qiao Qiao downstairs first, with Qiao Xiaoyun and the others following behind.

Only Jiang Shengnan, who was holding Jiang Min's hand, glanced back halfway through the journey before silently looking away.

Ning Yiman was furious.

But there was nothing that could be done.

But I'm not willing to give up like this.

I'd be even more embarrassed to shamelessly follow them and run into a wall.

He could only follow behind them at a leisurely pace, secretly planning to find an opportunity to get closer to them during the meal.

However, she didn't expect that once she got downstairs, she would have even less chance to get close to them.

As soon as they got downstairs, they were led into a private room in the restaurant by someone who was clearly a hotel staff member.

Wu Yunkai was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs. When he saw them come down, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

After exchanging a few polite words, he stuffed a bag of snacks into Qiao Qiao's hand, who was being held by Shen Qingyan, before leading her to the restaurant's private room.

As they walked, he said, "The chef has recently been working on a new dish, but he's not sure what to make of it yet. He was thinking of inviting a few of you to try it and see if there's anything he could improve on the taste."

Ning Yiman followed behind them.

Looking at this person, whose attire was clearly different from that of ordinary staff members, and their respectful attitude towards the group, he frowned.

She felt she might have guessed right.

These people might really be poor relatives of the Yan family.

Otherwise, the hotel staff wouldn't be so respectful, and they wouldn't personally come to greet you for your meal.

After the group entered the private room, they closed the door.

Ning Yiman found a table near the private room and sat down.

When she called the waiter over to take our order, she asked directly, "Were those people who just came into the private room together from the beginning of their stay at the hotel?"

The waiter was a young man in his early twenties.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at the private room Ning Yiman pointed to, then looked back and replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know either."

The truth is, it's clear, but it can't be said.

Everyone knows that the hotel is getting a new owner after tonight.

That private room was full of the hotel owner's relatives.

They weren't trying to curry favor, but at least they couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Especially that man holding their hotel owner's daughter, tsk tsk, that's someone whose identity is best left unsaid.

The sight of ten military vehicles arriving at the hotel that day, with more than thirty soldiers getting out, was arguably the biggest spectacle they had ever witnessed in their lives.

Everyone knows now that their new boss has a very powerful background!

Of course, putting all that aside.

Their soon-to-be-appointed boss's daughter, in just a few days, has become the darling of everyone in the hotel.

Such an adorable little baby, beautiful and cute, with a sweet voice, everyone in the hotel loved her.

Nobody wants to do anything that might put her in danger.

Ning Yiman's expression changed upon hearing the young man's words.

Her voice rose involuntarily, filled with displeasure: "What, this is also private? I can't even talk about it?!"

She had no idea that such a run-down place, such a run-down hotel, had so many rules and regulations, making it seem so high-class and luxurious.
