After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 74 - : With a New Love, Will She Still Care About You?

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: With a New Love, Will She Still Care About You?

Had it been someone else, they would have been trembling in fear by now.

But Little Doudou, with her hands clasped across her chest, felt the rose pendant hanging there, the corners of her mouth slightly upward in an unafraid and even eager expression.

In the end, it was Li Lingyang who could no longer hold back and broke the silence first, “Why did you come to find them?”

Doudou had not intended to pay attention to Li Lingyang, but she saw he looked particularly angry, with veins bulging on his forehead. Doctor Uncle had said that being angry often is bad for one’s health, so she unfolded her little hands and gestured back and forth a few times.

“You want to say thanks, and I have already thanked them for you! That’s not a reason for you to run out here privately. Besides, maybe Ning Yichu doesn’t welcome you at all. Looking for her will only add to her troubles!”

The moment Doudou heard Li Lingyang trying to sow discord, she couldn’t sit still, her chubby-cheeked face more serious than his, offering a strong protest.

...

“Auntie, Ningning, they all like me very much!”

“Heh, of course they like you when there’s no man around. Once there’s a new love, let’s see if she still pays attention to you!”

Thinking about the sickening sight of Ning Yichu and Mo Baiyou getting cozy together the previous evening, Li Lingyang felt a surge of disgust, his voice growing even colder, “Doudou, Daddy won’t harm you. Rather than having to see some disgusting images in the future, it’s better to cut ties with them now!”

“Hmph!” Doudou snorted softly through her nose, turned her head towards the window, and left Li Lingyang with the back of her head.

Li Lingyang clenched his hands around the steering wheel and said nothing more.

In any case, he would not let Doudou have any more contact with that mother and daughter.

As she got out of the car, Doudou pushed hard against the door, snatched up Beile’s dog leash, and then her little legs carried her away so quickly that she vanished in an instant.

Li Lingyang didn’t bother with her, instead telling the servant, “Wash the car.”

He actually did not like pets, especially the furry ones!

But to distract Doudou, he had still taken Beile from Mu Bailang, and now this stupid dog had run off with Doudou to find Ning Yichu—damn it, that psychologist said pets were helpful, what a crock!

…

Li Lingyang was in a bad mood, and Ning Yichu was in an even worse one!

It was always like this, making an unreasonable fuss, as if she was the one who did something wrong?

“This crappy dad is playing the victim again. Mommy, don’t be angry anymore. Your health has just recovered, getting hurt over him again isn’t worth it…” Ningning quickly came to coax Ning Yichu.

Ning Yichu took a deep, long breath to calm herself and then picked up Ningning, “Mommy’s not angry, just feeling a little unwell. Are you going to eat dinner, my dear?”

Ningning also rubbed her belly, “I’m full too.”

“Okay then, help Mommy clear the dishes, and I’ll go wash them.”

“I’ll wash them!” Ningning stopped her like a little adult, “Ningning is already four years old and can help Mommy with a lot of things.”

“You want to wash?” Ning Yichu chuckled, “You’re not even as tall as the sink yet. Alright, Mommy knows you want to help but you really can’t; go watch TV instead.”

“Mommy, you underestimate me!” Ningning dropped her defiant remark and scampered off to the bathroom where she took out the little bench that she and Chen Bao often used for brushing their teeth, placed it in front of the sink, and stood upon it.

Suddenly, the little girl stood taller than the sink, rolling up her sleeves as if she were truly a laboring person.

Ning Yichu couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her daughter’s determination and stopped trying to insist, willingly helped her organize the dishes, wiping the more difficult parts with a dishcloth first, leaving the easier items for her to wash.

Two days later, Ning Yichu returned to work at Beiji, and Ningning was taken to the nearby mall by Aunt Wang for some fun.

As soon as she arrived at the group, the assistant Xiao Ai from the Jade Sculpture Studio rushed to greet her, “Sister Ning, you’re back at the company? How are you feeling now?”

“I’m much better, thank you for asking,” Ning Yichu replied as she handed her a series of telephone numbers, “This is Mrs. Zheng’s number; she has an appointment with me at ten o’clock. Could you help me postpone some less important meetings?”

Xiao Ai took the business card and kept it carefully, “Sister Ning, you’re too dedicated. Continuing to contact clients even while on sick leave!”

“Give me a break…”

Beiji Jade Carving Studio was more like a place for receiving clients, with the professional production housed in a workshop on the second floor of the building.

Similarly equipped with soundproofing facilities, it ensured there would be no disturbance to other employees.

As she was waiting for Mrs. Zheng, Ning Yichu did not go to the workshop immediately but attended to some backlogged manuscripts instead.

To excel in jade carving, the first step is always to be able to draw; with a solid foundation and a clear vision, one can then craft freely with the machinery.

The two assistants hired by Mo Baiyou were mentored by professional Jade Sculptors, and they had a very good foundation.

Yet in some areas, they were slightly rigid. Ning Yichu made some minor modifications to the design drafts the assistants had submitted, and before she knew it, ten o’clock had arrived.

Promptly at ten, someone knocked on the office door; Xiao Ai brought in a middle-aged couple, the man wore a less-than-pleased expression, seemingly reluctant, while the woman was full of curiosity, glancing around.

Seeing that the couple’s age did not quite match what she had expected, Ning Yichu politely rose to introduce herself, “Mr. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng? Hello.”

“So, you’re the Jade Sculptor Aunt Li has been raving about?” Mrs. Zheng, about fifty, scrutinized Ning Yichu’s minimalist attire with an unmistakable air of superiority, “I wouldn’t have considered such a young Jade Sculptor if my mother hadn’t strongly recommended you. You understand, right?”

She truly looked down on such young Jade Sculptors.

All her previous jade pieces had been carved by highly respected and experienced elders.

Ning Yichu smiled and noticed the Qinglian jade pendant Mrs. Zheng was wearing around her neck, speaking softly, “The craftsmanship of your pendant is extraordinary; it’s from the Suzhou school’s work, isn’t it?”

Currently, there are five main jade carving styles in our country, with the Suzhou school specializing in small pieces, known for their smooth lines and an ethereal, spirited quality.

The Qinglian flower was vivid, intricate and naturally exquisite, very eye-catching.

“You do have some insight. Yes, this was indeed commissioned from a master of the Suzhou school,” Mrs. Zheng said, caressing the pendant, her mood visibly improving.

Ning Yichu made small talk for a bit, instructed Xiao Ai to serve tea, and spoke evenly, “Beiji is a large luxury brand, and jade carving is just one of its divisions. Please trust us–if you have any specific requirements for a jade carving, feel free to make them known.”

“Forget it, those two pieces of jadeite were mined by my mother anyway; if they’re ruined, we’ll just write it off as a failure,” Mrs. Zheng said with a sip of her tea. The tea was indeed high quality, which made her lazily open up a bit.

Ning Yichu didn’t take it to heart and asked them to bring out the pieces of jadeite for inspection.

The two pieces of jadeite, one large, one small; the larger was about the size of two adult fists, while the smaller was only a quarter of the large one.

However, the quality of the large piece was average at best, with several cracks and a color that was green with white undertones. It was generally not suitable to be made into bracelets but rather as display pieces. Creating and decorating based on the natural patterns and colors of the raw material would avoid waste.

The smaller piece, with its round, lustrous, translucent green jade, would be quite beautiful when made into accessories or jewelry, such as pendants.

“I heard that Myanmar recently introduced several new products; these two pieces must be from the Number 7 mine, right?”
