Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 278: Slapping a Relative in the Face (3)

He thought Ning Ning would be satisfied this time.

Ning Ning said worriedly that her mother's health had been getting worse in the past two years, but her family only had an old nanny who had been with her for many years. She could only cook and she couldn't be counted on for anything else. Ning Ning was worried that no one would take care of her mother.

Wang Ren could only put on a smile and help Ning Ning buy two honest and obedient maids, and give the indentures to Ning's mother, asking them to take good care of her.

Then Ning Ning was worried that his house would leak, and that there was no carriage at home, so Ning's mother would be wronged when going in and out, and that Ning's mother's legs had been caught cold in the past, and there was no good doctor to treat her...

In short, Wang Ren almost moved half of his family business here.

Wang Lun was so angry that he complained privately, "This Ning Ning is too much of a demon. I wonder if he knows our purpose."

"No, no, if he knew, he would be able to cast a spell on himself!"

"But he wants too much. We have spent so much money and used so many favors to make him feel at ease!"

"You can't stand this little bit of humiliation? You have no idea how much humiliation your father has endured outside! Which of those officials is easy to deal with? Merchants like us, no matter how much money we make, they look down on us and order us around. The servants in their families are more respectable than us, so I made up my mind that you must pass the exam. As long as you pass the exam and become an official, all these expenses will be worth it. You should also spend more time with Ning Ning these days. The day of the imperial examination is getting closer and closer. Let him set off with you. You must keep an eye on him all the way and watch him enter the examination room before you feel at ease."

"Yes, Dad, I understand."

Although Wang Lun agreed verbally, he was a young man after all, and not that cunning. He also felt that Ning Ning had gone too far, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was not as warm to Ning Ning as in the original plot.

Coincidentally, on this day Ning Ning's mentor sent someone a message, asking him to come over because his master was coming and wanted his master to meet Ning Ning.

When Wang Lun heard this, he thought it was a good opportunity. Ning Ning's master was a famous scholar of the time with many students all over the world. He never thought that Ning Ning would get to meet him again.

So, he became attentive again and tried every means to hint Ning Ning to take him with her.

But no matter how he hinted, Ning Ning suddenly became like a piece of wood that didn't understand what he said and just refused to respond.

He really couldn't wait any longer, so he directly asked to go with Ning Ning, asking Ning Ning to introduce him to him, as he also wanted to meet this world-famous scholar.

Unfortunately, Ning Ning flatly rejected him, saying that it was his first time meeting the master, so what right did he have to take someone with him without saying hello!

Wang Lun shamelessly tried to go again, but Ning Ning sternly refused.

After a few words, he could no longer hold back his pride. "Cousin, you are too unkind. My family has spent so much money on you, given so many gifts, and given so many favors to you, but you are unwilling to do such a small thing. You should have a conscience. Take me to see. Can your master drive you out? You have no family affection like this. Even if you pass the exam, can you become a good official?"

Ning Ning ignored him and just looked at him coldly as if he was watching a farce, then went to visit his master.

After returning, I picked up all my things and went to find Wang Ren.

"I am just a junior, it's good enough that the master is willing to see me, what right do I have to bring people over without permission! But because I refused, Wang Lun said that I wasted so many things, that I have no conscience, and that I can't be a good official even if I pass the exam! But I clearly remember that you sent these to me, saying that you felt guilty towards my father and cared for a junior like me. It turns out that you have other intentions! In this case, I dare not accept these!"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Ren came up and gave Wang Lun a big fight!

Wang Lun had always been favored at home, but this was the first time he was beaten. He covered his face in confusion, "Dad, why did you beat me?!"

"I'm beating you for talking nonsense! Didn't I tell you that we went to your cousin to talk about our blood relationship? You should learn from him. Who told you to pester him and speak rudely to him? I really wasted my kindness. Go and apologize to your cousin!"

Wang Ren was almost going crazy. He had nightmares every day during this period, fearing that Ning Ning would not take the exam.

What you lost was just an opportunity to take the imperial examination, but what we lost was Wang Lun’s life!

In short, he wished he could take Ning Ning to the examination room himself, so he could never allow Wang Lun to ruin his "grand plan".

Wang Lun also understood and had to apologize to Ning Ning in a humble manner, saying that he just wanted to meet the great scholar so much, and even if he couldn't say anything, it would be a blessing for him to just listen to the old man's teachings.

That's why he was so anxious and spoke rudely to Ning Ning. He begged Ning Ning to be magnanimous and not to hold grudges against him.

Wang Ren and Ning Mei also spoke in good terms, repeatedly stating that they gave the gifts out of kindness and had absolutely no intention of asking for a reward. If Ning Ning did not accept them, he would be an outlaw.

Even so, their family had to beg Ning Ning to accept it, just like the third grandson did.

Therefore, Ning Ning accepted it "reluctantly".

After he left, Wang Ren lectured Wang Lun, "Why are you so impatient? After you pass the exam and enter the officialdom, can't you find an opportunity to visit the great scholar? Why do you have to rush? We have already done so much, we can't fail at the critical moment!"

"I just thought Ning Ning was taking advantage of me and acting like a good kid, which was really abominable, so I wanted to borrow his power to get a chance, but he refused to help me with even this little favor."

"He won't be evil for long. We should just watch him, a dying man, jumping around. Why bother with him?"

After hearing this, Wang Lun finally felt mentally balanced. He acted like a good cousin to Ning Ning again, helping him pack his luggage and not getting angry even when Ning Ning gave him the cold shoulder.

Even Ning's mother felt something was wrong. "A Ning, aren't your uncle's family a little too friendly? Even if they want to travel with you, they don't have to be so enthusiastic. Besides... besides, his family has always been a profit-seeking family. There is not much benefit in going to Beijing with you."

Ning's mother doesn't like to talk about other people behind their backs. If she wasn't really worried about Ning Ning, she wouldn't have said this.

If Ning Mei really had a brotherly and sisterly relationship with Ning's father, she would not have not visited him for several years. What this family did was really incomprehensible and made her worried.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what they want, and I have a way to deal with it. They can't do anything to me, so you don't have to worry. They are so eager, if we ignore them, it will seem that we are cold-hearted and don't care about the relationship between relatives. Just remember what I said. When I'm not at home, keep the title deed and the things in the house. Don't give them to anyone who wants them. Just wait for me to come back."

"Well, I'll listen to you."
