On the day of the blind date, the heir of a wealthy family pulled me to get the certificate.

It is said that Youyou Villa is a Jiangnan garden, very beautiful and more beautiful than any other scenic spot in Dongguan.

Li Nuo really wanted to visit Youyou Villa, and also to test whether Ning Tianlei had any special feelings for her.

Youyou Villa is the old house of the Zhan family, so it is naturally not open to the public. If outsiders can go in and visit once, they can brag about it for a while.

If Ning Tianlei agrees to take her to visit Youyou Villa, it means that he trusts her very much and that she holds an important position in his heart, which means that he loves her.

Although Ning Tianlei seems like a gentle person, he is actually wary of everyone. He has built an invisible wall between people and won't let anyone cross that wall easily.

Li Nuo understood him and knew that he was wary of everyone and would not trust anyone easily because of family changes.

I have known him for so many years, and there are many girls who admire him and pursue him, but no one has ever been able to enter his heart.

Both his parents are criminals and are in prison.

The person who sent his parents to jail was his most beloved elder sister.

He and his eldest sister are half-siblings with the same mother.

But his parents killed his eldest sister's father.

In short, his family relationships are a bit complicated.

When his eldest sister sent his parents to jail, he knew that his eldest sister was not wrong, but they were his biological parents, and it was difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

It was only after Li Nuo came to work in Wancheng that he learned about Ning Tianlei's family background. The Ning family's affairs were no secret, and one could find out clearly with just a little inquiry.

She knew that when his parents got into trouble, Ning Tianlei was unable to face his elder sister for a while and hid himself away.

His second sister was also imprisoned because of his eldest sister. After she was released, she still had a bad relationship with her eldest sister. Now, his second sister has long been missing and her whereabouts are unknown.

I heard that except for his aunt, his family has close contacts with other relatives. It was his aunt who saved his eldest sister. The second young lady of the Zhan family remembered the great kindness of his aunt and repaid her with gratitude after she came to power.

The families of his eldest aunt and second aunt had long lost contact, and he didn't even know where they moved to. He only knew that he was forced to leave Wancheng by his eldest sister.

After learning about this, Li Nuo privately lamented to her bestie how difficult it was for Ning Tianlei. In such a complicated family, he was still able to maintain his kind side. He had a positive outlook on life.

After his elder sister sacrificed her own family for the sake of justice, he was able to face it calmly, and his relationship with his elder sister was not affected.

For a man like this, even though his family background was very poor, Li Nuo couldn't control her heart and fell in love with Ning Tianlei.

However, she didn't dare let her parents know that she liked Ning Tianlei.

She thought that if she and Ning Tianlei could be together and face her parents together, her parents would be very open-minded and should be able to accept Ning Tianlei. No matter how big a mistake Ning Tianlei's parents made, it was his parents' fault and he was innocent.

That is, if she and Ning Tianlei became fathers, her children would not be able to take the civil service exam in the future. For parents of civil servants, this might be difficult to accept.

If you don't want to take the exam, then don't take it. Li Nuo herself didn't take it, and her children probably won't follow that path. After all, Ning Tianlei has his own company and business, and there is a 99% chance that their children will take over and go into business.

"I'm not sure what Ning Tianlei's feelings are for you, but I think the fact that he's willing to ask his eldest sister means he took your words to heart. You must be special to him."

Li Nuo’s best friend replied like this.

"But, his eldest sister refused, and he didn't fight for me. This shows that I don't mean much to him."

Li Nuo lacks self-confidence.

It is true that Ning Tianlei's feelings are hidden very deeply and cannot be easily seen through.

"His elder sister has her reasons for refusing. After all, that is the old house of the Zhan family. The Zhan family values privacy. His elder sister is not the mistress of the house, so she can't just agree to it casually. Besides, his elder sister doesn't know you, so how could she let you visit her in-laws' house casually?"

"You weren't there, so how do you know he didn't fight for you? Did he say anything else after he told you?"

"He said he was sorry for not being able to take me to Youyou Villa and wanted to treat me to a meal."

"If you put it that way, Li Nuo, I think there's still some hope. Don't give up. You've admired him for so many years. Would you be willing to give up now?"

"Think about it, who has been around him over the years? You're the only woman, even if you're old classmates or good friends. He and I are old classmates, too. Why hasn't he been friendly to me?"

"Maybe he has feelings for you too, and maybe, like you, he's having trouble expressing them."

After hearing what her best friend said, Li Nuo regained hope.

Looking back on her friendship with Ning Tianlei over the years, Ning Tianlei seemed special to her.

"Then I'll try again. I won't give up easily. I've loved him for so many years, how can I give up easily? At least I have to confess to him and let him know that I loved him."

"Go for it. If you can't achieve it, then give up. At least you won't have any regrets."

"If I can't pursue Ning Tianlei, I will resign and leave Wancheng, go back to my hometown, and follow my parents' arrangements to go on a blind date with the son of someone in their unit."

Li Nuo has not graduated from college yet. Her parents agree with her and ask her to go back to her hometown to find a job after graduation. Her hometown is a second-tier city, which is not bad.

It is not difficult to find a job, but the income may not be comparable to that in first-tier cities.

Her parents still hope that she will take the civil service exam, so that she can live a stable life like them, and then retire with ease.

Li Nuo persuaded her parents that she was young and wanted to try her luck in a big city. She said that if she couldn't make a name for herself, she could return to her hometown to work and be closer to home.

Her parents were convinced by her and allowed her to come to Wancheng alone and work in Wancheng.

After working hard for so many years, she became a middle-level manager in the company with a good monthly income. Her boss values her very much. If she works hard for a few more years, she can get promoted and get a raise, and climb higher.

She did it all for Ning Tianlei.

Unable to pursue the man she loved, she gave up not only him but also her current career.

"Li Nuo, it's not easy for you to get to where you are today. Even if you and Ning Tianlei don't have a result, you can't give up your career. Shang Group is the second largest group in Wancheng. It is very powerful and has a lot of room for advancement."

"How many people dream of climbing to your position? Your monthly income is equivalent to what an ordinary worker earns in a year."

"Guangzhou is so big. If you break up with Ning Tianlei, you won't run into each other all the time. If you don't run into each other, it won't be awkward. Why make such a big sacrifice?"

My best friend said, "It's normal to be heartbroken. It's not like you can't live without him."
