However, Lu Huaiyu was indeed a rare talent, so the old man had eventually turned a blind eye to his behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Lu Huaiyu said that his family was strict with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Lu was thousands of kilometers away. How could he keep an eye on Lu Huaiyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Lu Huaiyu had said that he would not drink, no one dared to persuade him otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they had not come over to drink today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party quickly smiled and responded, changing the topic of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li sat down on the sofa next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu looked around, feeling bored, so he went over to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Li, I’ll be going to the Capital soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu pulled over a chair and sat down next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li thought about it for a moment. “Is LY’s training going to start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu smiled and his face lit up with excitement at the mention of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yup!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the contract, Ji Shu had officially joined LY.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daily training and preparation for the competition would gradually increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was incredibly excited. “It’s a pity that you can’t come along, Sister Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the only thing that Ji Shu felt regretful about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li glanced at him. “It’s only so that you would have someone to fix your car whenever and wherever you want, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu’s thoughts were exposed, so he immediately retorted. “I wouldn’t do that, Sister Li! Do I look like that kind of person to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded seriously. “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was speechless, but he still wanted to show his loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Li, I swear! I really didn’t think of that. Okay, maybe just a little… Like really, really only just for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out two fingers and made a tiny gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just afraid that no one will be there to guide me if I go over by myself…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li took a sip of juice. “LY is very professional in this area. You don’t need to worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was very talented and full of enthusiasm. It was only a matter of time before he made his mark in the industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was destined to be on the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu shrugged his shoulders and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not deny this, but he was not sure whether those people would be better than Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Li, it’s just too bad that you’re not going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li did not say anything because Ji Shu did not know about Gu Siyang’s offer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ji Shu was unaware of the fact that Ning Li had agreed to consider joining LY after the college entrance exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to tell him at this stage. It would not be too late to cross that bridge when it came to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu crossed his leg, looked inside the banquet hall, and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, Sister Li, Second Master Lu must be crazy about you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s heart stuttered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu raised his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s been in Yunzhou for so long. Yet, this is the first time he’s hosting a party and it’s all for you. I don’t think a biological brother would do this, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a biological brother, even Ning Li’s own biological mother was across the street at the Jinsheng Hotel celebrating with Ye Ci instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu could not help but laugh and tease her. “What is he thinking anyway? Does he actually treat you like his own child?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li put her glass down on the table, which made a slight thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu saw it and recalled what had happened the last time they were at the bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, right, did anything happen last time when you went back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li was expressionless. “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu rubbed his chin and nodded. “I knew it. Although it’s not good to be in a bar, you didn’t even drink. Second Master Lu’s quite strict. Look at my parents! They don’t control me, but I still turned out well, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked at him and said, “It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they can’t control you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu was a wild child. The more they controlled him, the more rebellious he got.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why his parents were not strict with him. Otherwise, no one would know what else he would be up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu coughed. “Sister Li, you can’t say that. You can’t expect everyone to be as obedient as you. I just think that Second Master Lu is really something... I guess the average person wouldn’t dare challenge him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu had such an indescribable aura that even just standing there inexplicably made others feel apprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Sigh… Now that I think of it, it makes sense why Sister Li listens to him!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li suddenly got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu froze for a moment. “Sister Li, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s expression was distant. “It’s a bit stuffy here, so I’m going to walk around for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu wanted to tag along, but when he saw Ning Li’s expression, he swallowed those words back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s cold outside, so don’t wander around too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li gave a faint “mm” and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Hyatt was located near the river. There was a huge terrace across the banquet hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, one could see the river winding through the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were plenty of buildings on both sides of the river with bright and colorful lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool breeze whipped at her face, making her feel more alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li tightened the suit jacket around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu’s words kept echoing in her ears, which made her heart feel indescribably suffocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she knew that Lu Huaiyu had deliberately held this party for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was grateful, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li reached into the jacket pocket and fumbled around for the chocolate candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a few of the creases in her heart had been smoothed out, this gold foil-wrapped candy seemed to cause more ripples to appear in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked around and saw an untouched glass of champagne on a small table nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over and picked up the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The champagne was sweet with a very slight hint of alcohol. It tasted quite nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly finished the glass and felt the heat warm up her throat and cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li stood there for a while before taking off the jacket. She had initially intended on putting it down, but after thinking about it, she held it in her arms instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wind blew, she felt that she could smell the wine quite strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated and lowered her head slightly. The tip of her nose touched the jacket and she gently sniffed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the scent of crisp cedar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lu Huaiyu’s scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ning?” A familiar voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.756Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9b8c30d8b8aa40f757d087ebef4de664ed69f4b5b555963036b62cedae75495","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-199","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-197",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
