Mengmeng quickly grabbed Jiang Ning's drawing and began to copy it, mimicking him.
Jiang Ning stood to the side, observing. Indeed, Mengmeng had excellent drawing talent and a keen eye for detail, which were essential qualities for a painter.
Jiang Ning occasionally offered careful guidance, but Mengmeng did most of the drawing.
Meanwhile, Hong Yueyin quietly approached. Jiang Ning was aware of this, but remained silent.
When Hong Yueyin saw the drawing of herself as an old witch, her face turned dark.
She ground her teeth in anger, but didn't want to disturb Mengmeng, who was concentrating on her drawing.
Jiang Ning felt a chill run down his back, as if a pair of menacing eyes were fixed on him.
Jiang Ning shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant.
Mengmeng didn't know Hong Yueyin was behind her. She was drawing diligently when she suddenly asked, "Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng can't draw Hong Auntie's old witch face!"
Mengmeng's words made Jiang Ning's back grow even colder. "Um, Mengmeng, that's not Hong Auntie.
That, that's the old witch. It's just that she happens to be wearing the same qipao as Hong Auntie.
You need to draw the old witch's mouth even bigger, wider, and her eyes even more exaggerated and round.
How could your Hong Auntie, who's so beautiful, be an old witch!"
Jiang Ning quickly explained, fearing Hong Yueyin would attack from behind and scratch his head.
"Uncle Jiang, didn't we agree to draw Hong Auntie as an old witch?" Mengmeng turned her head, puzzled.
But when she saw Hong Yueyin, whose face had already turned black, her body also shivered.
"Oh no, the old witch is here! Uncle Jiang, protect your little princess!"
Mengmeng said, throwing down her pen and paper.
She immediately threw herself into Jiang Ning's arms.
Jiang Ning quickly picked up Mengmeng and ran into the living room.
"Alright, you two little rascals, let's see if the old witch will cast a spell today and turn Mengmeng into a kitten, and turn your Uncle Jiang into a puppy. Abracadabra, transform!"
At this moment, Hong Yueyin deliberately pretended to be an old witch about to cast a spell.
This made Mengmeng, who was clinging to Jiang Ning's neck, giggle.
"Uncle Jiang, you're the little princess's knight, you have to protect your little princess, the old witch is casting a spell! Mengmeng doesn't want to turn into a cat!"
Mengmeng pretended to be scared.
"Alright, with this humble servant, the great general here, the old witch won't be able to do anything to you."
Jiang Ning said, patting his chest.
The three of them played and chased each other around the living room.
The scene really resembled a warm family of three.
Actually, Hong Yueyin also felt at this moment, if Mengmeng was her daughter, and Jiang Ning was her lover, how beautiful would this picture be!
She also enjoyed this rare playfulness to her heart's content.
Perhaps after this time, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity again.
So she let herself go, chasing after Jiang Ning, who was holding Mengmeng.
Not long after.
"Beep beep."
At this moment, Jiang Ning's phone rang. Jiang Ning stopped and reached into his pocket for his phone.
Hong Yueyin happened to rush over at this moment, grabbing Jiang Ning's arm with one hand and Mengmeng with the other.
"Got you!" Hong Yueyin said happily.
But she froze for a moment because her hand had just happened to grab Jiang Ning's arm, which was holding Mengmeng.
The muscles on that arm were full of power, which made Hong Yueyin lose herself for a moment, and her face flushed red.
"Uncle Jiang, get out of the way! Hong the witch has caught Princess Mengmeng!"
Mengmeng cried out in alarm as well.
Jiang Ning felt Hong Yueyin's soft, delicate hand on him, and sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
"Um, uh, I need to take a call."
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Ning quickly put Mengmeng down. "Mengmeng, keep drawing. Uncle Jiang needs to take a call."
Then, Jiang Ning ran in a panic out of the villa, coming to the courtyard outside the villa.
Seeing the phone call, he said, "Hello, President Tang."
"Hello, Master Jiang, where are you now?" Tang Hecai asked excitedly.
"I'm in Cangnan. What's up, President Tang, are you coming over?" Jiang Ning asked in surprise.
Tang Hecai: "Master Jiang, of course I know you're in Cangnan. I'm asking for your specific location. Do you have time now? Let's meet."
"President Tang, you're already in Cangnan?"
"Yes, Master Jiang, I flew over here on a private jet yesterday."
"Oh, so fast. I'm currently in the Yunding Villa Community."
Jiang Ning felt it was necessary to meet with Tang Hecai. After all, during yesterday's live stream, the Tang Corporation was the top donator, giving a reward of ten million.
"Master Jiang, I'm also in the Yunding Villa Community, and I've already bought two villas in this community, in buildings A17 and A18. I'm in A18 now. Are you free to come over to my place, or should I come find you?"
Jiang Ning was having a headache. This President Tang was so decisive. Buying these two villas clearly targeted him.
"Alright, is the villa someone else's, or should I go over there?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and decided it was better for him to go.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Tang Hecai didn't expect Master Jiang to be so agreeable.
He was also very nervous at this moment, after all, this was the old master's assignment for him.
If he didn't do it well, he might have to give up the position of head of the family to his younger brother.
Although the three brothers had a good relationship on the surface, that was because the old master was around. If the old master wasn't around, it was hard to say whether the brothers could continue to get along for the sake of the family property.
Jiang Ning hung up the phone and returned to the villa.
"Mengmeng, you continue drawing. Miss Hong, I have something to take care of. Could you help me look after Mengmeng?" Jiang Ning said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After all, he was supposed to be at work right now; this was a typical case of ditching work.
"For how long?"
Hong Yueyin asked with a slight blush. She was still shy from touching Jiang Ning's arm just now.
"About an hour, and I'll be in the community as well."
Jiang Ning scratched his head.
"Alright, no problem. Go ahead and take care of what you need to."
Hong Yueyin smiled and nodded.
"Thank you."
Jiang Ning said gratefully.
Then he turned and left.
Looking at Jiang Ning's departing figure, Hong Yueyin stared blankly, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
When Jiang Ning arrived in front of A18 Villa, there were two rows of bodyguards wearing sunglasses and suits standing at the villa's entrance.
Each one was tall and had broad shoulders, full of spirit, and watching the surroundings vigilantly, clearly not ordinary bodyguards.
Standing at the front of the team was a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exhibiting the bearing of someone in a high position, giving off a feeling of pressure.
When Tang Hecai saw Jiang Ning approaching, his face immediately lit up with a smile. He hurried forward, "Hello, you must be Master Jiang?"
"Hello, are you President Tang?"
Jiang Ning also walked forward, feeling a bit nervous.
He wasn't afraid of the bodyguards that had come before; in a real fight, he was confident he could take them down.
But facing Tang Hecai, he was indeed suppressed by the other party's aura of authority.
It wasn't the same aura as that of the bodyguards, but the difference between an ordinary person and someone who had long been in the position of president.
This kind of aura would make people feel nervous and distant.
If it came to a fight, Jiang Ning was confident he could knock Tang Hecai down with one punch.
But when it came to negotiations, he was definitely much more nervous.
