Chapter 127 Adopting Instead of Buying
Chapter 127 Adopting Instead of Buying
On the way back in the car, Jiang Ning did not mention the matter to Li Yiming again.
In fact, she didn't want to make things so extreme, but the other party insisted on bringing it up this way, so she couldn't blame Jiang Ning for not giving them face.
She was also very puzzled as to why people couldn't just get along with each other more happily and why they had to be so twisted.
Li Yiming could see that something was wrong with his sister, so he took the initiative to ask her:
"What are you going to do about this? Is it going to go on like this?"
Jiang Ning looked up at him and said:
"Don't you still have me? If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
Li Yiming looked out the window at the scenery outside, frowned unconsciously, and said:
"Of course I don't care. It has come to this. What do I have to be afraid of? I am mainly worried about you. I don't want you to face so many things right from the start. I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."
"A fire pit? How can it be called a fire pit? How interesting."
Jiang Ning's tone was surprised. She didn't expect Li Yiming to think this way, because she never took these things seriously.
Li Yiming felt that Jiang Ning did not listen to him, and he was naturally unhappy, so he used the same attitude he used to teach his subordinates in the company to "reason" with Jiang Ning.
He said sternly with a tone that brooked no disobedience:
"I don't care what you think. Anyway, I will definitely not let you go out alone. What if you meet someone like this who will make a move on you right away? I got here in time today. What would you do if you were alone?"
Jiang Ning also began to worry whether Li Yiming was really serious, so he hurriedly defended himself and said:
"What can I do? Of course I have to run away! Don't worry, I have been running away for so many years, and no one can compare to me in terms of running away skills."
But Li Yiming still didn't change his mind, and the atmosphere in the car was already a bit confrontational.
"I said no and it means no. You are my only relative now. If I don't think about you, who else should I think about?"
Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics worked, Jiang Ning prepared to use his trump card.
She tried to squeeze out two tears, her voice was a little sobbing, she looked at Li Yiming pitifully, and said to him in the softest tone of her life:
"Well, I'm bored at home anyway, so I might as well go out and find something to do. After all, you sent so many people to follow me, so I'm sure they won't be in danger of death, don't worry. And this is the only dream I have now, can you bear to stop me?"
As she spoke, her hand climbed up Li Yiming's arm, and tears fell on his skin without warning.
Sure enough, this trick worked very well. Jiang Ning could clearly see a hint of hesitation and an imperceptible compromise in Li Yiming's eyes.
So Jiang Ning quickly made another effort:
"Please, brother, I have never asked you for anything in my life, just promise me this one thing, and I promise to follow your arrangements for everything else in the future."
Li Yiming had no intention of controlling Jiang Ning. He was just afraid that she would get hurt and wanted to protect her. Unexpectedly, he ended up making her cry. This was not a good outcome.
The air was silent for a while, and he fell into deep thought, wondering whether this was the right thing to do.
After a long while, Li Yiming finally spoke:
"Forget it, just do whatever you want. I'll support you with all my strength. It's my responsibility if I can't protect you. It has nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have implicated you."
He put his hand together with Jiang Ning's and spoke earnestly.
But Jiang Ning's subsequent transformation was what really surprised him.
She quickly wiped away her tears as if nothing had happened, as if everything that had just happened had never happened. Then she changed her expression and said to Li Yiming:
"Okay, thank you brother, I know you are the best to me."
Li Yiming finally realized what was going on. Everything Jiang Ning said was just a show, all for him.
"Okay, so you've been lying to me all along, right?"
Jiang Ning was very proud, as if he had won a battle, and said:
"I am willing to take the bait. You have to believe me. Besides, I have recorded everything you said just now. You have no chance to regret it now! Hahaha!"
Li Yiming was somewhat helpless, but he couldn't do anything to her, so he had to compromise:
"Forget it, forget it. I still can't convince you. Do whatever you want, but you have to promise me that you will protect your own personal safety. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my parents if I die."
Jiang Ning happily sat in the back seat of the car and hummed a song. These little incidents that happened today basically could not cause her any kind of harm.
She turned on her phone and found that her name was on the hot search list again.
There are so many topics about her, and it is very easy to create hype. All media want to get a piece of the pie, and they only care about the gimmicks, regardless of whether what they say is human language.
Jiang Ning just watched silently without explaining. She was going to wait until she had gathered enough evidence before taking down the whole gang. She had no interest in such petty fights.
"You are really patient."
Li Yiming also saw those rumors, but due to his many years of experience in coaching actors, he was no longer surprised.
But when it happened to his sister, he couldn't help but feel sad. But when he looked at Jiang Ning, he seemed like nothing had happened.
Jiang Ning smiled calmly, then said with relief:
"Alas, there's no need to take this kind of thing to heart. I can't reach through the screen to shut them up, so it's better not to do anything. The more you give them face, the more they'll push it."
Li Yiming: "I'm glad you're okay. This group of media outlets needs to be disciplined. They don't even take me seriously."
Jiang Ning continued to swipe her phone. She was actually quite curious about how these media outlets fabricated such stories. It was even quite interesting to read these when she was bored.
Following her name is Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan’s death has not yet been given a perfect explanation in front of the media. No matter how you explain it, there are loopholes, so it was unanimously announced to the outside world that it was an accident, and then it was handled coldly.
However, because Jiang Ning became popular again this time, this topic once again topped the hot search list.
No matter how many netizens criticize him, Jiang Ning will not be affected by their words at all.
She did not make any response. She couldn't really expose all the strange things that had happened before.
Jiang Ning had already thought about the consequences. Even if she really told them, no one would believe her. They might even take this opportunity to accuse her of using the death of a person to build momentum.
And after today's incident, Jiang Ning found that he had a lot more fans out of nowhere. How could this not be a blessing in disguise?
After returning home, Jiang Ning went back to his room as usual. Without the company of that thing, the room seemed a little empty.
She lay on the bed, thinking about things that happened a long time ago. At that time, there was Gu Yuan, Xiao Xiao, and everyone was still around. She didn't know how Xiao Xiao was doing now, and whether there was anyone who was still taking care of it...
Even though there are still many things that are not satisfactory in life, when I see these people who love me are around me, no matter how many grievances I have in my heart, I will let them go.
The big data on the mobile phone seemed to be able to see into Jiang Ning's heart, and it had been frequently pushing information about puppy adoption to her.
Looking at the furry and pitiful puppies one after another on the phone, Jiang Ning's heart softened.
After all, touching through the screen is not quite the same. Now that I have money and time, why can't I get a real one?
So Jiang Ning began to carefully screen the information, first picking out all the obvious dog dealers, and then the remaining ones were the puppies that were kept under the name of "adopt instead of buy".
But these are not purebred dogs, but very ordinary pastoral dogs. However, Jiang Ning still looked at them seriously. Each puppy was basically born not long ago and their teeth have not even grown yet.
After scrolling down two pages, she picked out a very cute little yellow dog.
The dog's body is yellow, but its four paws are white, as if it were wearing four small shoes. Its eyes are like little black beans, which is very cute.
"Contact information..."
By looking up the contact information written on the blogger's homepage, Jiang Ning actually succeeded in contacting him.
