She was so exhausted after wrapping up for the day that she went straight to sleep without even eating.
She woke up at exactly nine o'clock. When her sister-in-law asked what she wanted to eat, she remembered they hadn't finished cooking the glass noodles from the morning and said she wanted hot and sour glass noodle soup.
To her surprise, she had just started eating when Sang Yuan arrived.
'He got here pretty fast.'
Ni Bingyan quickly took a few bites of the crisp, tender bean sprouts and scrambled to her feet, wiping her mouth.
From across the large, steaming bowl, Wu Huijuan asked her, "Who is it?"
Ni Bingyan had nothing to hide and was very forthright. "You know how I contacted a neighbor about an investment this afternoon? He happens to be coming to Shanghai for an event, so he's swinging by to talk about it. I've saved up a bit of money, right? I told Dad I'd give it to him, but he insisted I keep it, so I thought I might as well invest it."
