Ning Qiangwei obviously did not expect that Mr. Ning would say this. She originally thought that Mr. Ning would firmly oppose it.
The reason why Ning Qiangwei asked Bian Qiang to come and play the role of her boyfriend was mainly because her family was keeping an eye on her marriage. She was thinking of a delaying tactic and picked someone from her comrades-in-arms. Based on her understanding of her family, he would definitely not agree with the marriage. Then she would have the opportunity to delay for a while by using the excuse of finding a new partner.
Seeing the awkward smile on Ning Qiangwei's face, Old Ning tapped her forehead with his finger and said unhappily, "You, you devil, Grandpa is already a 90-year-old man, what can't you see through? Can you just find a man to pretend to be your boyfriend and get away with it?"
Ning Qiangwei knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she stuck out her tongue and said with a wry smile, "Grandpa, aren't you sick? I thought if I made you happy, you would get better faster, so I came up with this idea."
Old Ning rolled his eyes at her and said, "Bad idea!"
Ning Qiangwei was afraid that Old Ning would be angry, so she smiled and said, "Grandpa, how about this, when you recover from your illness, I promise to bring a serious boyfriend to see you."
Old Ning's eyes showed a doting look, and he said, "You, you devil, I hope you won't lie to me again."
The two chatted with each other for a while, and then Ning Xiangcao and Ning Yulan walked into the ward. After listening to what Old Ning had said, Ning Yulan criticized him unhappily, "Qiangwei, you are becoming more and more unreasonable now. How could you deceive Grandpa?"
Elder Ning waved his hands and defended her, saying, "Don't scold Qiangwei. I am happy to be deceived by her."
Ning Yulan was speechless. Ning Xiangcao pulled her arm and said with a smile, "Sister, you know that the third sister is my greatest treasure. If he is willing to bear it, why are you in such a hurry?"
Old Ning nodded, looking like that, which made Ning Yulan both angry and amused. The three sisters rarely got together, so they chatted with Old Ning for a while. Seeing that he was a little tired and wanted to rest, they left the ward.
After leaving the house, Ning Qiangwei quickly apologized to Ning Yulan: "Sister, it's all my fault, please don't be angry, okay?"
Ning Xiangcao couldn't hide her smile, knowing that the third sister was not afraid of anything except the eldest sister. Ning Yulan sighed and said in a hateful tone, "I am so disappointed in you."
Seeing that Ning Yulan was unwilling to pay attention to her, Ning Qiangwei hurriedly followed, while Ning Xiangcao followed slowly behind. In the eyes of others, Ning Xiangcao was a woman with character, but if the three golden flowers were put together, she felt that she was the least noticeable.
The eldest sister is wise and gentle, the younger sister is lively and beautiful, and I am the only one stuck in the middle. I don’t have the extraordinary charm that makes people’s eyes shine.
Chapter 0573: Unable to Understand Mr. Ning’s Thoughts
At night, the three sisters did not return to the old house, but chose to come to the small apartment rented by Ning Xiangcao. The eldest sister Ning Yulan cooked a table of dishes herself. Ning Xiangcao took out two bottles of red wine that she had collected for many years. Ning Qiangwei changed out of her military uniform and put on her second sister's loose T-shirt. The three sisters ate, drank and chatted together, which was a rare occasion.
After chatting for a while, Ning Xiangcao winked at Ning Yulan. Ning Yulan understood, put down the red wine glass, clasped her hands together, and said to Ning Qiangwei earnestly: "Little sister, you are not young anymore. It's time for you to think about the major events in your future life."
Ning Qiangwei frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Sister, you are talking about this topic again. It's obvious that you don't want me to eat enough." After she finished speaking, she placed the chopsticks next to the plate as if in annoyance.
Ning Xiangcao tried to persuade her at this time: "Why do you talk to me like that? Isn't she considering me?"
Ning Qiangwei pursed her lips and said, "I think it's more about you, my second sister, than me. My brother-in-law has been dead for so long, you should persuade her, my eldest sister. You can't live in memories. You have to look forward, right?"
After saying this, Ning Xiangcao's expression changed slightly. She lowered her head, and a look of sadness appeared on her face.
Ning Yulan said unhappily: "Little sister, how can you talk like that?"
Ning Qiangwei knew that what she had just said was indeed a bit too much, so she quickly stood up, squatted next to Ning Xiangcao, and said flatteringly: "Second sister, I'm sorry, what I said just now was wrong. Can you forgive me for my mistakes, please?"
Ning Xiangcao shook her head and smiled: "It's okay. In fact, my elder sister has advised me before, but the pain of the soul needs enough time to heal and heal. I have also tried to get out of the shadow, but it is very difficult..."
Ning Qiangwei couldn't help but feel regretful when she heard Ning Xiangcao say that. Her brother-in-law's death was a big blow to Ning Xiangcao, and it was wrong for her to rub salt into her wounds. However, words once spoken are like water spilled, so Ning Qiangwei could only blame herself.
Ning Yulan said at this time: "Little sister, you have grown up. Logically, we should not be so talkative. Although you have a high rank in the army and have received many commendations, it does not mean that you are mature. In our eyes, you are still the little girl who has not grown up. Women are different from men. If you miss your best years, you will miss many things."
Ning Qiangwei wanted to talk back, but she looked at Ning Xiangcao, who was still sad about her slip of the tongue, and immediately held back and nodded, "Sister, I know what you mean, but isn't my situation special? I have to carry out missions from time to time, so how can I have time for a blind date?"
Ning Yulan took a sip and said, "You have time this time. I've already told Dad to ask the army to give you a month's vacation. During this time, you must go meet the person I arrange for you. You are not allowed to run away."
Ning Qiangwei looked up to the sky and sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Well, I knew that something would happen when I came back this time. So I brought a boyfriend back with me, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to escape this fate in the end."
Ning Xiangcao smiled unhappily and said, "How dare you say that. Luckily, Grandpa has always doted on you. Otherwise, if Big Sister knew that you deliberately lied to us, she would probably give you a good beating."
Ning Qiangwei was ultimately defeated by her two elder sisters’ persuasion and spread her hands helplessly, “Forget it, but we’ve agreed. It’s only a month. If it doesn’t work out, we can talk about it later.”
Ning Yulan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's set the deadline at one month."
Ning Qiangwei did not notice that Ning Yulan and Ning Xiangcao had a knowing look in their eyes during this period. In fact, the two of them had already thought of many strategies to make Ning Qiangwei agree to the blind date conference.
Before finishing the meal, Ning Yulan couldn't wait to take out a stack of information from her bag, and then placed it next to Ning Qiangwei's hand. After flipping through it casually, Ning Qiangwei's face suddenly fell, and she said in disbelief: "Sister, how many spare tires are prepared here?"
Ning Yulan frowned, waved her hand, and said, "How can there be any spare tires? Let me tell you, these are all carefully selected by your second sister and I. They are all very outstanding young people."
Ning Qiangwei patiently flipped through them and shook her head, saying, "Sister, it's impossible for me to meet so many people in one month. I think it's better to strive for perfection than to just rush through. How about screening out a group of them and then choosing some to meet with?"
Ning Xiangcao agreed with this view. She was also shocked when Ning Yulan handed over the list of names. Ning Xiangcao came to the rescue of her third sister and said, "Sister, Qiangwei didn't say that. Let's just select the best."
Ning Yulan sighed and said, "They are all excellent. I don't know how to choose."
Ning Qiangwei snatched the information, flipped through it and said, "They all have photos. I'll filter them and exclude all those that don't appeal to me..."
Before Ning Yulan could stop him, Ning Qiangwei flipped through the pages one by one, constantly looking for flaws in the man's appearance, such as his face wasn't square enough, his eyes weren't big enough, his nose was a little flat, his mouth was a little crooked, etc...
Finally, Ning Qiangwei figured out that there were not many people behind, leaving only three or four who slipped through the net, and said with a smile: "Sister, these are the ones I think look pretty comfortable, so let's meet them."
Ning Yulan flipped through the documents and nodded, saying, "Well, let's meet these people first." Then, she instructed Ning Xiangcao, "Please help call them tomorrow and ask them to come to Yunhai."
Ning Xiangcao smiled bitterly and said, "These people are all out of town, and they are all very busy. You have to make an appointment. You can't just meet them whenever you want."
Ning Yulan squeezed Ning Xiangcao's eyes and said with a smile, "Strike while the iron is hot."
