Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2107 - 2096: A Slap in the Face

Seeing the two leave like that, Zheng Tianhang was stunned, turned pale, and chased after them, blocking their way."Hello, Mr. Ning, I'm Zheng Tianhang from Kowloon Shipping, which is a private company owned by our family. I'm curious where Mr. Ning is working?"

As he spoke, Zheng Tianhang pondered on which prestigious families in Hong Kong Island have the surname Ning.

Tang Xiaoyue said with a grim face, "Zheng Tianhang, you're being very rude."

"Xiaoyue, don't misunderstand. Your friend is also my friend."

Zheng Tianhang had a flattering smile, but his eyes were arrogantly sizing up Ning Fan.

After counting all the notable families on Hong Kong Island, none had the surname Ning.

More importantly, Ning Fan's appearance showed no signs of being a successful person.

"Probably a gambling expert hired by the Tang family."

Thinking of this, Zheng Tianhang's gaze became even more disparaging.

What does it matter if he's a gambling technique expert? In the end, he is just a tool for these powerful families.

Those trying to make money through gambling, many have ended up at the bottom of the sea.

Once he figured out Mr. Ning's background, Zheng Tianhang chose to ignore him and continued speaking sycophantically,

"Xiaoyue, I found a place with good Kaiseki cuisine. How about we go for lunch...?"

Ever since Mary went missing, Ning Fan's mood had been poor.

Especially now, with a buzzing fly in front of him causing a constant noise, his mood worsened.

Ning Fan, sustaining the last bit of rationality, said, "Can we leave now."

"Yes... let's leave."

Seeing Ning Fan with a face as dark as water, Tang Xiaoyue hurriedly led the way.

"Stop! Who do you think you are, speaking to Xiaoyue in this manner?"

"Zheng Tianhang, you really are bothering my friend."

If it weren't for the good relations between the Zheng and Tang families for three generations, Tang Xiaoyue would have already called someone to drag him away.

"Xiaoyue, don't bother with someone lacking manners. Just a gambling technique expert, right? I've already offered a large sum..."

Just then, a clear crack sounded.

Looking at Zheng Tianhang, who had collapsed on the ground with a glaringly red five-fingered mark on his face, Tang Xiaoyue was stunned.

"Can we leave this time?"

"Oh!"

After the two left, Zheng Tianhang finally came to his senses and clutched his face, screaming like a pig being butchered.

Inside the elevator, Tang Xiaoyue softly said, "Mr. Ning, don't worry. I'll handle this matter."

"Worry?"

Ning Fan sneered, "Why should I worry?"

"Zheng Tianhang's background isn't insignificant. His family is one of Hong Kong Island's old-money families, involved in shipping since the 80s..."

Ning Fan waved his hand, "Enough, I've heard this kind of talk too often."

After some thought, Tang Xiaoyue still advised, "I know you're not ordinary, but the Zheng Family has connections with politicians from multiple countries. If unnecessary, it's better to reconcile."

"When the tea is gone, people will scatter. No matter how many connections there are while alive, it's pointless once you're gone."

Tang Xiaoyue was startled, "What do you mean by that?"

"Miss Tang, my mood is really bad right now."

Ning Fan seriously emphasized again, "Until Mary returns safely, it would be best if no one disturbs me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I'll do. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I understand."

The feeling of falling into an icy abyss arose again in Tang Xiaoyue's heart.

"Mr. Ning, my grandfather wishes to meet you."

"No meeting!"

The decisive and straightforward refusal was seemingly the first time Tang Xiaoyue had heard such a thing, and after a while, she said, "I've already prepared a room for you, sir. Please follow me."

Upon entering the room, Ning Fan directly asked, "Where are the documents?"

"Please wait a moment."

After about ten minutes, Tang Xiaoyue came in holding a file.

"All the information for the quarter-finals is here."

Listening to the complaints outside the door, Ning Fan kept his head down and said, "You may leave now. I'll call if needed."

Tang Xiaoyue opened her mouth several times wanting to say something, but eventually nodded and left the room.

"Sister, that guy was too rude. He even refused to see Grandpa."

"Xiaodie, don't talk nonsense."

Tang Xiaoyue looked at the tightly closed door with a complicated expression.

This time, the feeling Ning Fan gave her was completely different from when they met in the Gambling City.

Tang Xiaoyue, as the eldest daughter of the Tang family, belonged to a family powerful enough to make Hong Kong Island shake with a stomp.

Yet in front of Ning Fan, she didn't even have the courage to speak loudly and was led by the nose the whole time.

Such a situation was something she had never encountered before.

Even when facing Hong Kong Island's highest-ranking officials, she could handle the situation gracefully and composedly.

Seeing Tang Xiaodie full of resentment, Tang Xiaoyue said bitterly, "Indeed, we didn't handle things well, and Mr. Ning has every right to be upset."

"But... even so, we're trying our best to remedy the situation."

Despite saying this, Tang Xiaodie's voice grew lower, indicating her guilty conscience.

During her time on Hong Kong Island, she spent more time accompanying Mary, with the two becoming friends.

Moreover, she was partly responsible for Mary's disappearance this time.

Just then, chaotic footsteps and angry shouting came from the end of the hallway.

"Oh no! It's Zheng Tianhang."

Tang Xiaoyue's face changed, understanding immediately that Zheng Tianhang was likely bringing bodyguards for revenge.

Earlier, Tang Xiaodie, who had been feeling downcast, laughed gleefully, "He had it coming. I've been annoyed by that pretty boy for a long time."

"Even Xiaodie knows about him getting hit, so it's no surprise he won't swallow this insult."

Realizing this, Tang Xiaoyue quickly said, "You stay here and guard, I'll be right back."

Remembering Ning Fan's words, before leaving, Tang Xiaoyue instructed, "Don't leave under any circumstances."

"Treating someone like this! Guarding the door for him."

An increasingly unhappy Tang Xiaodie kicked toward the door.

Unexpectedly, the door opened just as she kicked, leaving her leg outstretched in a splitter pose.

When she was younger, such a move was not difficult for her.

But having stopped dancing for so many years, the sudden stretch brought pain that made Tang Xiaodie shed tears.

Seeing Tang Xiaodie on the floor doing a split, Ning Fan asked sternly, "Where's Tang Xiaoyue?"

Tang Xiaodie, teary-eyed, said, "Why are you just standing there? Help me up!"

"Get up on your own."

Watching Ning Fan return to the room without looking back, the furious Tang Xiaodie forgot about the pain.

"I curse you, this straight man, to be wife-less for life."

Tang Xiaodie continued to complain, "Older sister is really meddlesome, this kind of unpleasant guy should be taught a lesson."

Not long after, having calmed Zheng Tianhang, Tang Xiaoyue hurried over.

"Sister, I..."

Just when Tang Xiaodie was about to voice her grievance, she saw her elder sister glance at her briefly before leaving.

"Mr. Ning..."

Before Tang Xiaoyue could finish, Ning Fan interrupted, "When did Mary disappear? Where was she last seen?"
