Yang Mansion. ​​

"Grandpa." Ning shouted before pouncing into her grandpa's embrace.

Grandpa Yang excitedly hugged his dearest granddaughter at first but pushed her away immediately. "You still have the cheek to call me your grandpa? Huh, you are an unfilial granddaughter. How could you sneak out in the middle of the night? And where were you for so many months? Do you have any idea how much I missed you and-"

Cutting him off, Ning caught her ears and pouted her lips. "I am sorry grandpa and I promise that I will never run away like that. I'll never leave you alone."

Grandpa Yang helplessly shook his head and sighed. "Now come and give your grandpa a hug."

"Grandpa I want you to meet someone but not now, after two months may be." Ning excitedly hugged her grandpa. She couldn't wait to introduce Yichan to grandpa Yang but she had to wait.

"Who are you talking about?" Grandpa Yang asked.

"You are going to love him." Ning excitedly exclaimed.

Grandpa Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Him?"

Ning vigorously nodded her head, "Yes and I'll tell you his name later."

Grandpa Yang frowned and asked, "What? A boy? Where did you meet him? Ning you-"

Cutting her grandpa off, Ning shook her head and said, "Not now grandpa I'll tell you about it later." before rushing towards her room.

…..

Two months later.

Ning was about to leave the mansion when her parents dashed into the mansion and started creating a ruckus.

"You unfilial child, where the hell did you go for six long months and why didn't you visit your parents after you came back? This is how you treat your parents?" Father Yang shouted his lungs out. He was already frustrated after receiving the news about his father passing on his position to the daughter he wasn't fond of and to top that up Grandpa Yang also transferred his late wife's share under Nings name. He also gave away 5% of his and 8% of father Yang's share to Ning.

"I was busy handling the company affairs recently so I had no time." Ning flatley answered. She wasn't really fond of both her parents and didn't want to waste her time on them. In fact, Ning was in a very nice mood because Yichan would be returning back anytime soon and she couldn't wait to hear from him.

"You-"

Grabbing her husband's arm, Mother Yang gestured to him not to say anything.

Putting on a fake and pretentious smile, Mother Yang tried to be as polite as she could. "My child mom and dad were just worried about you. You are our daughter so we should know where you are and what you are doing."

"What do you both want?" Ning asked.

"My friend aunt Pi, you know her right? Anyway she is throwing a party today and she wants all of us to attend it together so you have to accompany us." Mother Yang smiled and tried to convince Ning.

"I can't, I have to go somewhere." Ning rejected their 'KIND' proposal without even giving it a thought.

"It's just for a few hours and after that we will never bug you for anything. If you don't accompany us today then people will start judging our family and you don't want that right?" Mother Yang asked.

Ning thought for a while and reluctantly agreed. "Only for an hour."

Mother Yang smiled and nodded her head. "I knew my daughter would never let us down. We'll come and fetch you later."

After Ning nodded her head and left, Father Yang placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and asked, "Is an hour enough?"

"Call Mangsha and tell her to prepare everything before time. We cannot miss this opportunity. Are you sure father won't be coming back today?" Mother Yang asked.

"No he won't." Father Yang assured his wife.

...

Evening.

Dressed in an all white evening gown paired with a pair of dazzling glittery stiletto when Ning came downstairs, everyone including mother and father Yang widened their eyes in shock. She was looking beautiful and stunning.

When Mangsha saw Ning all dolled up, she narrowed her eyes. She hated how Ning always looked more beautiful than her.

"Let's leave, I just have an hour in hand." Ning said before walking out of the mansion.

…..

Wolpop hotel

Inside the banquet hall.

Sitting in a corner holding an empty glass of wine, Ning was bored after greeting hundreds of people who were trying to lick her ass off. She had never been so fond of social gatherings and hated socialising with useless people.

Just then a waiter approached her with another glass of wine.

Placing the empty glass on the tray, Ning picked up another one which the waiter had brought over.

After making sure that Ning was drinking from it, the waiter left.

Giving Mangsha, who was standing not too far away a thumbs up sign, the waiter continued serving other people.
