Hearing this, Yun Fanghai's eyes lit up. It was a good idea. To avoid wronging his own daughter, he could only wrong someone else.
Anyway, it was something her own mother had agreed to, so he couldn't be blamed.
Thus, Ning Yitao was neatly arranged without anyone caring about her thoughts.
Ning Hong also gradually came into the limelight after that time when she used her daughter to gain attention. Yun Fanghai started taking her out more often.
As soon as they entered the main gate, a luxurious duplex attic came into view. Ning Yitao looked around and praised, "The location here is good. It's conducive to gathering wealth."
But as soon as she walked into the Yun family's living room, Ning Yitao frowned tightly. Yun Fanghai had put all the valuable things on display. The placement of the antiques violated the most basic rules of feng shui.
The family had randomly chiseled walls and opened windows, which disrupted the flow of qi and invited evil spirits. Their family fortune was bound to decline sooner or later.
The servant carried Ning Yitao's suitcase and placed it at the door. Seeing this, Yun Ruichu took advantage of the fact that Ning Yitao hadn't come in yet and deliberately picked up her suitcase and threw it into the servant's room.
Standing at the door, she looked haughtily at Ning Yitao who was coming late and said, "You should go to the servant's room on your own initiative. It's really a favor that you're not sleeping on the street. You should be grateful that you have a place to live."
Ning Yitao looked at her coldly and said, "Do you believe that I can make you sleep on the street today?"
Yun Ruichu felt a chill run down her spine when she met Ning Yitao's eyes. It was as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. She stood there stunned and didn't dare to say a word.
Ning Yitao ignored her and walked straight into the room.
When Yun Ruichu came to her senses, she wanted to start shouting again, but she didn't want to experience that feeling again. She hesitated at the door for a long time, stamped her foot angrily, and left.
In fact, this servant's room was the best place in the house in terms of feng shui. It was also isolated from the chaotic energy caused by the random placement of antiques outside. Ning Yitao was very satisfied.
At dinner time, Ning Hong deliberately didn't call her to eat. She wanted to punish her for deliberately contradicting her today. However, Ning Yitao didn't notice her little tricks.
She had just fasted a few days ago, so whether she ate or not didn't matter to her. While practicing in her room, she just wanted to attend the banquet the day after tomorrow as soon as possible and find Duan Qinghuai.
In the past two days, Ning Yitao watched this family sit at the dinner table in harmony every day. Ning Hong, perhaps out of a conscience, asked the servant to bring a plate of food to her room every day.
Scene 1
Yun Ruichu summoned up her courage and provoked again and again, "People like you don't deserve to sit at the table. You can only eat leftovers in your room."
This time, Ning Yitao didn't say a word, but the plate in front of her suddenly flew up and poured directly on Yun Ruichu from head to toe.
Ning Yitao gave her a look as if to say "Are you being too much?" and said, "Aren't you the young mistress? Why are you so hungry that you even grab food from someone like me?"
Scene 2
Ning Yitao was observing the flower spirits in the flower bed.
Yun Ruichu jumped out and said, "Humph, you can only take a good look now. These are high - quality flower varieties that you can never afford in your lifetime."
Ning Yitao was already used to it. Without even turning her head, she simply raised her hand. Zhaocai immediately understood her intention.
The next moment, it grew bigger and landed on Yun Ruichu.
Yun Ruichu screamed and ran out to complain again.
-------
Ning Yitao suddenly found it quite fun to tease Yun Ruichu every day in the Yun family. This kind of scene happened no less than five times a day. Ning Hong and Yun Ruichu were like clowns, running around all day.
Yun Ruichu kept coming to cause trouble. She never learned her lesson even after being punished every time.
Ning Hong, in order to play the role of a step - mother well, also ran after Yun Ruichu again and again. It was really interesting.
Although Ning Yitao found it amusing, she always felt a bit sad deep in her heart. This was the emotion of the original owner.
It was true that although she was the biological daughter, her mother always helped outsiders to scheme against her, just to achieve her own interests. It was really laughable.
If she hadn't already discussed with Ning Hong and they had drawn up an agreement to sever the mother - daughter relationship, she would have run away long ago and wouldn't have stayed here.
She promised Ning Hong that as long as she attended the dinner party obediently, got engaged in public, and got married, the condition was to sever the mother - daughter relationship.
Ning Hong naturally agreed readily. She had long wanted to get rid of Ning Yitao. It was a win - win situation for her. After getting along with Ning Yitao for the past two days, she knew that Ning Yitao had the ability to run away halfway, but she didn't expect that it was also a good deal for Ning Yitao.
She only promised to get married, but as for who the bride would be after getting married? If someone was replaced on the way, there was nothing she could do.
Now she just had to wait for the banquet, and then she could get the agreement.
After all, it was an engagement with the Duan family. Even if they didn't like Ning Yitao, they still had to dress her up symbolically so as not to offend the Duan family and their own family's face.
Ning Yitao looked at the evening dress sent into her room and thought that humans were really strange. They had to do things they didn't like. It was really not free at all.
At noon the next day, Ning Yitao was pulled up and put into the car. She was still sleepy from her afternoon nap when the makeup artists forced her into a chair.
The two makeup artists worked on her face from both sides.
"Sure enough, youth is a great advantage. The collagen on her face is completely different from those injected with needles. This girl has such good skin."
"Her facial features are also very delicate. Just a few strokes of makeup can make her look outstanding."
"No wonder the Neee brand favors her and gave her the only custom - made evening dress."
The two makeup artists were very satisfied with the result and praised her non - stop.
When the makeup artists reminded the meditating Ning Yitao to change clothes, she opened her eyes and was startled by the person in the mirror.
For some reason, the person in the mirror looked more and more like her former self. Ning Yitao was once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, but she didn't care. Strength was the most important thing.
Now, with Ning Yitao's spiritual energy in the original owner's body, the two of them looked more and more alike.
The original owner's frizzy hair was now black and shiny. Her facial features had become more delicate and petite. She didn't know if this was a good thing or not.
As soon as Ning Yitao put on the evening dress prepared by the brand and walked out of the dressing room, she was stunning. She immediately caught the attention of everyone in the dressing room.
She was wearing a long golden dress. The long train of the dress dragged on the ground, shining brightly. Her long black curly hair like seaweed fell on her chest, revealing a large expanse of shiny silver - white skin on her back. The elegant strapless neckline made her waist look so slender that it seemed it could be easily held in one hand.
Although Ning Yitao's eyes were cold and aloof, there was always a hint of charm in them. She really brought the soul of this dress to life.
Even a photographer specifically asked Ning Yitao if he could take a few photos of her, saying that he had finally found his muse. Remembering the kindness of Neee, Ning Yitao agreed.
This evening dress was not prepared by the Yun family. The Yun family just threw an out - of - date dress into her room and didn't even provide a makeup artist for her.
The Neee brand saw her live broadcast and knew that she would attend the dinner party. They specially gave her the only one - of - a - kind new evening dress and even invited a star makeup artist to serve her. This could be regarded as the company's welcome gift to Ning Yitao.
They also gave her a set of expensive diamond accessories, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The brand had arranged everything for her and customized them specifically for her.
