Chapter 226: 092: Changing Views on Ni Yan, Elder Mrs. Mo’s Birthday Banquet_5
Song Beicheng watched as Ni Yang turned her back to him, peering at her with a newfound seriousness in his eyes.
Perhaps, from the beginning to the end, he entirely misjudged Ni Yang.
She truly didn’t care about money.
She genuinely didn’t wish to associate with the rich and powerful.
Yet, despite being only a teenager, she possessed a maturity that many adults lacked, as if weathered by countless storms.
Song Beicheng touched his chin, and a glimmer of intrigue flashed in his eyes.
With swift movements, he finished his noodles and left the place.
For three days, Song Beicheng visited the noodle restaurant every morning. To get his noodles, he even had his assistant queue for him for a considerable amount of time.
In those three days, they didn’t exchange a single word, or even a glance.
Only then did Song Beicheng realize that the girl genuinely had no interest in him.
“Ni Yang.” Song Beicheng couldn’t resist calling out to Ni Yang’s back.
“What is it?” Ni Yang stopped in her tracks, directing her gaze towards Song Beicheng.
Song Beicheng chuckled, “I thought for sure you wouldn’t pay me any attention.”
Ni Yang raised an eyebrow in amusement and retorted, “Why would Boss Song think that?”
Song Beicheng continued, “Well, 1 just upset you a few days ago. So, I was hesitant to initiate a conversation with you, fearing you might still be angry.”
This man sure was amusing.
When he stopped with his capitalist arrogance, he proved to an intriguing personality.
Before Ni Yang could respond, Song Beicheng carried on, “Perhaps due to our different upbringing, money has always been of primordial importance to me. In my eyes, money equals omnipotence. It gives me high-quality living standards, private drivers, assistants, servants, bodyguards…”
“But 1 overlooked ‘respect.’ No amount of money can buy ‘respect.’ Therefore, Ni Yang, I apologize for my previous inappropriate actions. It was wrong of me to measure a person’s worth with money. That was an insult to your dignity.”
Song Beicheng was smart and adaptable.
lie wouldn’t impose his errors on Ni Yang.
If he was at fault, he was at fault.
And so, he owed Ni Yang an apology.
Ni Yang didn’t expect Song Beicheng to say such words.
She thought Song Beicheng was a thorough capitalist, but his realization of his faults was quite profound.
Ni Yang faintly smiled, “So, in your eyes, I’m a petty person?”
Song Beicheng also laughed, “Of course not.”
With those words, Song Beicheng continued: “They say laughter eliminates all hatred, so Ni Yang, can we turn over a new leaf and forget the past incidents?”
Without any hesitation, Ni Yang reached out her hand towards Song Beicheng, “I am Ni Yang, nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too.” Song Beicheng courteously shook Ni Yang’s hand, “By the way, don’t call me Boss Song anymore; just call me Song Beicheng. After all, the point of a name is for people to use it.”
“Okay.” Ni Yang nodded faintly.
Song Beicheng continued, “Now that we are friends, may 1 ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
After a moment of thought, Song Beicheng said, “But you must promise me not to get mad after I ask this question.”
“Rest assured,” Ni Yang smiled, “I am quite reasonable.”
The implication was that as long as Song Beicheng’s question was within bounds, she would not take offense.
With some hesitation, Song Beicheng asked, “Ni Yang, do you really not like money?”
This question had been bothering Song Beicheng for quite some time.
Does anyone in this world truly not care for money?
Although he was aware that Ni Yang would certainly frown at his question, Song Beicheng was simply too curious about her answer.
Unexpectedly, Ni Yang not only did not get angry but also broke into a hearty chuckle.
“Like money? Of course, 1 do. If 1 didn’t, why on earth would I open this noodle restaurant? Just like you said, money provides a superior lifestyle. Everything I am doing is for a better tomorrow.”
There are no people in this world who do not like money.
Money is essential for survival.
Without money, even the most basic needs can’t be met, let alone prospering in life.
Ni Yang liked money, but she wasn’t a gold digger.
There was no point hiding what she genuinely liked.
“Then why did you reject…”
Ni Yang continued for him, “You mean, why did I reject your exorbitant invitation?”
