Meanwhile, everyone began to guess who the woman was. Some said the woman must come from a family that had been running a jewellery business for generations, or she must be an expert.
Some believed she had just been lucky, while others assumed she must have Jade Eyes.
Although Jade Eyes was the real reason, no one would believe it. It was beyond their knowledge after all.
In the end, everyone called the woman "The Queen of Jade".
Many jewellery businessmen were searching for this queen of jade. They wanted to cooperate with her, but they could find nothing.
Isaiah" The queen of jade huh, I can't wait to tease her when she gets back."
(1 day later)
Isaiah was waiting in front of the elevator that lead to Gu Ning's apartment. He didn't go up as he was just waiting for Gu Ning.
He didn't wait long as she arrived two minutes later. He smiled and waved at her and she smiled back. They both hugged each other and Isaiah whispered in a teasing tone" Welcome back my queen, this servant awaits for your orders."
Gu Ning Blushed and punched him away. It was normally her who did the teasing so it felt weird being teased." Don't tell mum or anyone. It's supposed to be a secret for now."
Isaiah" My lips are sealed. I'll be heading out, I need to do a few jobs but Ill come later. Tell them I said hi."
Gu Ning" Will do." She said as she went back home while Isaiah did business.
(The next morning)
Isaiah had woken up early and was going to go on a run with Gu Ning. He ran to the luxury estate and met up with her.
They ran together while Gu Ning told him about the project she was doing.
She didn't meet Leng Shaoting, nor Xu Jinchen. Actually, Xu Jinchen and Leng Shaoting were running in the morning as well. They saw Gu Ning running with Isaiah, but didn't appear in her sight.
Xu jinchen" Hey, why do you have to stop me since you don't want to go over and say hi yourself?" Xu Jinchen planned to talk to Gu Ning and size up Isaiah but was stopped by Leng Shaoting.
"Are you really free?" Leng Shaoting asked. Then before Xu Jinchen could say a word, he opened his mouth again. "If you're free, run another 20 kilometres."
"What? I didn't say I…" Xu Jinchen argued. However, before he could finish, he received a cold look from Leng Shaoting. He immediately shut his mouth.
Why? How could Leng Shaoting be so cruel? He only wanted to talk to Gu Ning. Why should he be punished for that? In addition, he only did it to test Leng Shaoting. It seemed as if he could only gain his freedom by staying away from his boss.
Leng Shaoting looked at the disappearing backs of Gu Ning and Isaiah. He didn't know what he was feeling right now so he just took her out of his mind for now.
In the first class, the headteacher announced the results of this monthly test.
Gu Ning and Isaiah were tied for top one in the grade this time. Except for her Chinese article which had deducted only one point, her other tests all gained full scores. And except for his geography which deducted one point he got full marks for every test.
The whole classroom was very surprised. No one would believe it.
Many students were unhappy but didn't dare to say another word. The news was also announced in other classrooms. It arose many doubts too, especially Gu Xiaoxiao, Qin Zheng and their friends. They refused to believe it.
The three students who had always been the top three in their grade felt greatly displeased.
Usually, they were always the top three, but the top spot was grabbed by two other students. It was so hard for them to accept the truth.
Mu Ke, Chu Peihan and the others were also very surprised, but they chose to believe Gu Ning. In their eyes, Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl.
When the class was over, they discussed fiercely in their WeChat group.
Hao Ran[ Boss, you're so awesome! You're the top in our grade in this monthly test.]
Chu Peihan[ Though I feel surprised, I believe that it is true.]
Mu Ke[ Me too.]
Zhang Tianping[ Me too.]
Isaiah[ I feel like I'm being completely ignored.😑😑]
Yu Mixi[ Ningning has been helping me with my studies recently. So she obviously has better scores too. Oh and congratulations Isaiah.]
Isaiah[ Mixi has anyone ever told you how much of an angel you are.😭😇😭😇]
Hao Ran[ I don't have much interest in studying, or I'd turn to boss for help as well.]
Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping[ Me too!]
Chu Peihan[ It's already enough for me to go to school. I'll go crazy if I go to extra classes.]
During the break, Gu Xiaoxiao avoided Qin Zheng, calling her cousin. She said that she had been beaten by Gu Ning, and asked her cousin to teach Gu Ning a lesson for her.
Gu Xiaoxiao's cousin was Lin Yuehao, who was a son of Gu Xiaoxiao's uncle. He hated studying and fooled around all day, so he stopped studying the moment he had graduated from high school.
He was now 21, but all he knew and cared about was entertainment. However, because he fooled around all day, he knew some gangsters. Thus Gu Xiaoxiao wanted him to help her ruin Gu Ning.
Gu Xiaoxiao literally hated Gu Ning to the death and she was a malicious girl herself. It was Gu Xiaoxiao who had actively humiliated Gu Ning from the very beginning, while Gu Ning only fought back for her and her family, but Gu Xiaoxiao was too selfish and envious to realize that.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe that Gu Ning was able to deal with those gangsters. Lin Yuehao was, of course, willing to help his cousin.
Lin Yuehao was arrogant himself, so he didn't think that it was a big deal at all. He promised directly that he would handle it within two days.
