Chapter 81: Tell Them Everything

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When they saw the spacious rooms and the elegant decoration inside, everyone was stunned again. They even didn't dare to walk inside, but stopped at the door.

They had actually been to such a spacious and well-decorated house before.

It was Gu Qinxiang's house.

However, when they had gone to his place, they had felt very nervous and had no idea how to behave.

If they had had another choice, they wouldn't have gone to Gu Qinxiang's place.

Of course, Gu Qinxiang also disliked them.

"Please feel at home. Don't be nervous at all. Come on in! I'll tell you everything." Gu Ning put down all the stuff. She pulled Gu Man and Gu Qing while walking to the living room.

Gu Qing was still a little nervous, while Gu Man relaxed a lot, because she knew that her daughter had bought this house.

Although she didn't know why Gu Ning would buy such an expensive house, she chose to believe in her daughter.

Jiang Xu and Jiang Xinyue followed slowly.

"Please have a seat," Gu Ning said, but some of them still stood. It seemed like they were afraid to dirt the sofa.

"Have a seat please." Gu Man sat down calmly.

They all sat down afterwards, but felt uneasy.

"Aunt, uncle, do you still remember what I said last Sunday? If I become rich, I will definitely let you live a good life," Gu Ning asked.

Hearing that, both Gu Qing and Jiang Xu kept staring at Gu Ning. They didn't realize what had happened.

Apparently, they remembered Gu Ning's words, but what did Gu Ning's words have to do with what was happening now?

They couldn't believe that Gu Ning would become rich within such a short time.

Therefore, Gu Ning told them what she had told Gu Man. The family of Gu Qing were all amazed by the story.

She had rescued a man, gotten ten million yuan, and even planned to run a business?

"I've said it before. Once I'm rich, I will definitely let you all live a good life. Now it's time to fulfill my promise. I bought two houses of the same size actually. The other one is right across from this one."

"This one is for me and my mother. The opposite one is for your whole family. Since I didn't tell you in advance, I couldn't get all the required documents. Please bring your household register and marriage certificate here tomorrow. After we finish the procedure, you can move in directly. The house is well-decorated as well. All you need to buy are daily necessities," Gu Ning said.

A long, long while later.

"Am-am I in a dream?" Gu Qing asked. It was so hard to believe it. She immediately pinched Jiang Xu's thigh with great force. Jiang Xu shouted in pain.

Gu Qing asked him, "Does it hurt?"

"Try it yourself!" Jiang Xu said. He wouldn't have shouted if it didn't hurt.

Gu Qing glared at Jiang Xu. She absolutely wouldn't do that to herself.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha." Both Gu Ning and Gu Man couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's real! Ningning said that she wanted to wait to tell you till she bought the house. So we all kept it a secret," Gu Man explained.

"But, the houses here aren't cheap at all! It must cost a lot to buy one here!" Gu Qing said confused.

They were poor and hadn't finished their education, but it didn't mean they knew nothing.

Actually, Gu Man was also confused about that.

Gu Ning hurriedly explained, " Well. I'm going to open a jewelry business, so I went to City G this weekend to buy raw jade materials. However, the raw materials are all covered with stone layers. There are piles and piles of them. No one knows which one actually has jade inside. Thus it's generally a gamble. Whoever cuts jade out from the raw materials can sell it on site. It's super hard to get an emerald though. I don't know whether I was lucky or something. I bought five raw materials, and fortunately there were three high-level emeralds in them. I sold one which in the size of an apple, and earned more than twenty million yuan! I used that money to buy the houses. Besides, as for the other two emeralds, I'll leave one for Mu Ke's company, while the other one will be used to make jewelry for all of you."

Before they could recover from the last shock, they all were shocked once more by Gu Ning's words.

What? More than twenty million yuan?

This was the first time they had ever known it could be so easy to make money!

After a long time, they finally recovered.

"Ningning, you're so bold to play stone gambling!" Gu Man criticized Gu Ning gently. She was more worried about her daughter.

She had heard of stone gambling. It was a highly risky business.

One could either become super rich or poor overnight. It was too dangerous.

"Mom, don't worry. I know how to handle it." Gu Ning immediately comforted her mother.

"Well…" Gu Man didn't know what to say. She still chose to believe in her daughter.

Gu Ning had made a lot of money. The family of Gu Qing also felt happy for her, but she gave them such an expensive house, so they all felt a little awkward.

"Ningning, I know you're being kind, but the house is too expensive. We…" Gu Qing opened her mouth. She wanted to reject it.

"Aunt, I know clearly how much you've helped me and my mother ever since I was a little girl. Please accept it. We're a family after all. I can't see you all live a poor life any longer," Gu Ning interrupted Gu Qing.

"Indeed! Please accept it. We only have each other now. We're family," Gu Man added.

Everyone was upset suddenly.

True! They only had each other now.

The rest of the Gu Family disliked them and kept a distance away from them.

"Great, great," Gu Qing answered at the end. She burst into tear with happiness.

��Mom, can we live in such a nice house from now on?" Jiang Xinyue asked with anticipation in her eyes.

It was understandable that everyone wanted a better life.

Gu Qing and her husband felt a little guilty that they weren't able to provide a good life for their daughter.

Chapter 82: Support Jiang Xu to Run a Start-up

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Yes. We'll live in such a nice house after tomorrow," Gu Qing answered with love in her eyes.

Having the affirmative answer, Jiang Xinyue was so excited that she almost jumped up. "Wow! It's so great!"

Seeing Jiang Xinyue being happy, Jiang Xu and Gu Qing as her parents were also happy.

"Alright, it's almost eight pm. I'm starving. Mom, aunt, please cook dinner for us," Gu Ning said.

"Oh, it's almost eight. We need to cook now!" Gu Qing immediately left the sofa and pulled Gu Man, running to the kitchen.

Gu Ning wanted to discuss something with Jiang Xu, so she didn't go to help. She also stopped Jiang Xu who wanted to help.

"Uncle, can we have a talk?" Gu Ning asked.

"Sure," Jiang Xu answered, but he asked Jiang Xinyue to go help.

"Uncle, since we're not poor any longer, I naturally don't want you to continue doing labor work for so little money. Of course, I know you can't stay unemployed. I also don't want to see that. In the past, we could only live a hard life, but now, we can live a better and better life. So, I want to ask you. Do you want to start a thriving business and improve our lives in the future? Or you simply want to run a small business? As long as you don't have to be hungry or cold, no matter what you want, I can fully support you financially," Gu Ning said.

Jiang Xu wasn't clever, or cunning enough. He probably wasn't capable of running a business.

However, he worked hard and was diligent. He also liked learning. As long as he was determined, Gu Ning trusted that he could truly make something.

Jiang Xu was delighted to start a company, but he felt awkward about the money.

Gu Ning had already given them a house. He felt utterly embarrassed if he asked Gu Ning for money as well.

Gu Ning also knew what was on Jiang Xu's mind. She encouraged him, "Uncle, no one respects us, only because we're poor. You're the only man in our family. You must be strong and powerful to protect us!"

Gu Ning only said that to comfort Jiang Xu. She had no intention to reveal her other properties before she could do better than the Tang Family.

It needed more than money to surpass the Tang Family. Money didn't mean everything.

She also needed power and support from the authorities.

It was hard to force an official to leave his position with money, but it was much easier to ruin someone's company with power.

Therefore, a good network was very significant.

Thus Gu Ning planned to network actively in the future.

Jiang Xu was touched. What Gu Ning had said affected him a lot.

Exactly! Only because they were poor, no one respected them.

Especially Gu Man and Gu Qing, they had been despised and discriminated against by the rest of the Gu Family for a long time.

As long as Gu Man, Gu Qing or Jiang Xu himself were powerful, the Gu Family wouldn't dare to do that.

Jiang Xu was immediately full of passion, but he was still embarrassed about the money.

"Uncle, I know that you are worried about the money. If that's the case, I can help you with money and you can give my mother a 20% share of your company. My mother of course won't work in your company, or interfere in your business. You need to work hard yourself. Please don't underestimate the 20% shares either. If your business grows bigger, 20% shares will soon be equal to the money I give you. So just take it as I lend you the money, and do not feel any pressure," Gu Ning said.

Although Jiang Xu was almost convinced by Gu Ning, he was still a little worried. "What if the company isn't profitable?"

"It happens in business. Nothing good comes without risk! You don't need to worry about the money at all. I can totally afford it!" Gu Ning said sincerely. She was unbelievably confident.

Yes, she could afford it.

She didn't want Jiang Xu to do the same thing as her. Her goal was to build a business empire with billions or hundreds of billions in assets. As long as Jiang Xu could be successful in City F, several hundred million yuan would be enough.

Thus, Gu Ning planned to invest ten million yuan into Jiang Xu's business. She had several hundred million yuan in wealth. She could completely afford it.

Although Gu Ning wouldn't interfere in Jiang Xu's business, if he had any trouble, she would never step aside.

Gu Man and Gu Qing heard the talk between Gu Ning and Jiang Xu in the kitchen.

Gu Qing was already crying in happiness. "Ningning, she's such a great kid!"

"Yes, Ningning is doing this for our good. We can't disappoint her, right?" Gu Man said on purpose.

Gu Qing immediately understood what Gu Man's purpose was. She walked out, talking to Jiang Xu. "Xu, please accept it. We must be strong and powerful. No one is going to take advantage of us anymore!"

With Gu Qing's support, Jiang Xu was now fully convinced. He answered at once, "Great, I'll do it!"

Actually, he had always had the idea to run his own business, but lacked the money.

"Actually, I have a friend who invited me to do the business of construction materials together. I really wanted to join him at that time. However, because I didn't have the money, I gave up at the end. In three years, he already has millions of yuan in wealth. His wife and children all live a good life. Honestly, I'm very jealous of him," Jiang Xuman said with embarrassment.

Construction materials?

Hearing that, Gu Ning's eyes lit up. It was a good idea.

Gu Ning planned to be involved in real estate industry, and construction materials would be highly important to her business. It would be better if her uncle could help.

"I think it's a good idea. Uncle, I agree with you to do the business of construction materials. I'll invest ten million yuan," Gu Ning said.

"What? Ten million yuan?" Hearing that, Jiang Xu was astonished. He thought a million yuan would be enough. He didn't expect it would cost ten million yuan.

"Uncle, since we're getting involved. Why not start a bigger business? Don't be a chicken!" Gu Ning encouraged him.

"Great, Ningning, I won't let you all down!" Since Jiang Xu had made up his mind, he decided to do his best.

"Aunt, you can quit your job too. Whether you want to help uncle, or be a housewife, or open a small shop, you can choose. Besides, women need to take good care of themselves. We were poor before, but now we don't need to worry about money at all! I won't go to school tomorrow. After we finish the legal procedure of buying a house, we can go buy skincare products, clothes and jewelry, and then get our hair done," Gu Ning said."

Chapter 83: Gifts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In case Gu Qing would refuse, Gu Ning immediately added, "Aunt, you can't reject that. We're family. We need to support each other."

Since they were family, Gu Qing couldn't reject. She said, "Fine, I'll listen to you, but isn't it inappropriate that you don't go to school tomorrow?"

Gu Ning was already not good at studying. Gu Qing was afraid it would affect her studies if she asked for leave.

"It's just one day off, it'll be fine. Besides, we can only finish the procedure on a weekday," Gu Ning said.

"Fine," Gu Qing compromised.

As for Gu Man, she now believed that her Gu Ning was able to handle her life and studies.

"Oh, I also bought clothes in City G for you. Let me bring them out for you now." saying that, Gu Ning walked to the second room. She needed to take those gifts out of the telepathic eye space.

"Really?"

Gu Qing didn't know what to say. They were all moved by Gu Ning's kindness.

Gu Ning brought many bags from the room, placing them all on the sofa. Gu Qing immediately pulled Gu Man to go have a look.

"I bought a gift for everyone! This is for uncle." Gu Ning put a bag before Jiang Xu. Then she gave Gu Man and Gu Qing a bag separately. "These two are for both of you."

Gu Man and Gu Qing immediately took the bags.

"Xinyue, this is yours." Gu Ning gave the last bag to Jiang Xinyue. Jiang Xinyue took it, and thanked her, "Thank you, sister."

Gu Ning didn't take hers out.

"Wow, this is Lancôme! It must be expensive!" Gu Qing couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise.

She obviously knew Lancôme was a famous and expensive international brand.

"This-this is Armani!" Jiang Xu was also amazed. He always dreamed of having a good suit, but he didn't have enough money to buy one.

Now Gu Ning sent him a much more expensive suit.

"It's Gucci! It's so beautiful!" Gu Qing was surprised and excited. She kept holding it against her body and asked Gu Man, "What do you think?"

"It's beautiful." Gu Man smiled. She looked at the clothing in her hands. She also loved them.

Although they had none of the vanity, as women they also loved beautiful clothes.

"The dress is so pretty!" Jiang Xinyue raised her voice with excitement.

"There are phones!"

Finally, everyone discovered the phones at the bottom. They got excited once more.

"I have a new phone!" Jiang Xinyue almost screamed.

The rest all pulled out a new phone from the bottom of their bags, and unwrapped it.

"It's so lovely!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone held their new clothes and new phones in their hands. They could barely put them down.

"What's that smell?" Gu Ning smelt something then immediately ran to kitchen.

Gu Man and Gu Qing immediately followed her. They forgot to turn off the fire.

Luckily, it wasn't too late.

Gu Ning had an acute sense of smell, so she discovered it early.

When Gu Ning was finally free, she checked their "Family of Fighters" WeChat group. Everyone mentioned her in the chatting history. They all cared whether she was back or not, with their gifts of course.

Gu Ning shook her head lightly. She typed and sent: "I'm back at home, but I won't be at school tomorrow. I'll give the gifts to you all the day after tomorrow."

Hao Ran: "Boss, what happened? May I help?"

Mu Ke: "Yeah, what happened?"

Gu Ning: "Nothing, I need to deal with something with my mother and my aunt. Please keep it between us, and don't let the teacher know!"

Hao Ran: "You mother left the hospital? Why didn't you tell us earlier? We could have gone to pick you up and celebrate!"

Zhang Tianping: "Exactly!"

Gu Ning: "It's fine."

Chu Peihan: "How about our gifts?"

Everyone: "Yes! What did you buy for us?"

Gu Ning: "You'll know the day after tomorrow. Alright, I need to have my dinner now. Bye-bye."

Then, Gu Ning ignored them. It was the time for dinner.

Actually it was 9 pm already so they were having night snacks, but everyone enjoyed it so much.

After the dinner, it was almost 10 pm. Gu Qing's family soon left.

They had a lot to do, so Gu Man didn't ask them to stay tonight.

They left their clothes here though, since they would be moving in tomorrow.

While they were leaving, Gu Ning reminded them just to bring everything important with them tomorrow, and to leave the other stuff in the old house.

They could sell the furniture later.

Moreover, Gu Ning also told them not to tell the rest in the Gu Family. They wanted to live their own lives.

After Gu Qing's family was gone, Gu Ning and Gu Man went back to their own rooms.

Gu Man intended to let Gu Ning use the master room, but Gu Ning refused to do so.

Gu Ning wouldn't be staying here for too long. After half a year, she would be going to the capital city. By then, she would buy a new house under her name.

Gu Ning also had no intention to let Gu Man move in with her in the future. Her mother could come and visit her if her mother wanted to.

Once she was in the capital city, the situation would be complicated, so Gu Ning didn't want to involve Gu Man.

Gu Ning hadn't brought too much stuff from the old house the other day. They didn't have many valuable objects either, so she had dumped all the old broken stuff.

Gu Ning planned to live a brand new life.

Gu Man and Gu Ning talked for a long while before they went to bed.

It was almost 12 pm, Gu Ning checked the Wechat group again before she went asleep. Her friends were still talking, but she stayed quiet.

Both Gu Man and Gu Ning had a great night. Gu Qing and Jiang Xu however didn't sleep at all. They were too busy thinking about what had happened today.

"Xu, do you feel unbelieving about what happened tonight?" Gu Qing asked. She hadn't fully recovered from the shock.

It felt like they had been on a rocket, and had gone up high into the sky directly from the ground.

"I do, but it is real," Jiang Xu answered.

Chapter 84: Quit Jobs and Move into New Houses

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Ningning is totally different now. She just said that she would let us live a good life last week. And she fulfilled her promise this week! It's so surprising!" Gu Qing said.

"Exactly, Ningning has been being a completely different girl ever since she had the car accident. She has suddenly become mature, independent, outgoing and confident. She behaves nothing like an 18-year-old girl," Jiang Xu said. He was even was a little ashamed that he didn't have power like Gu Ning.

After a while, he added, "No matter what, it's a good thing that Ningning changed. She now knows how to fight back. The Gu Family has broken Ningning and her mother's heart. They have even kicked them out of the old house. Luckily, Ningning is powerful now, or they would live a harder life."

"Indeed! If they knew Ningning is rich now, they would be envious! They would probably try to have a good relationship with a rich Ningning. Those people are sick!" Gu Qing had seen through the rest of the people in the Gu Family.

"We must be low-key in front of them. Don't cause any trouble," Jiang Xu said.

They didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning.

The next day, Jiang Xinyue got up to go to school. Gu Qing and Jiang Xu were awake too. It was still early, but they couldn't sleep any more.

They were so thrilled to move into a new house.

Gu Qing told Jiang Xinyue to go straight to Fenghua Luxury Mansion when she left her school today.

Jiang Xinyue was also excited to move into the new house today.

Although they were going to move out today, they weren't in a hurry to get their deposit back, because the lease of their old house wouldn't be ending until the end of the month.

Gu Qing went to work as usual. She had already written her resignation letter last night. She planned to ask to resign when she got to work.

Gu Qing was just an ordinary worker, so it wouldn't make any difference if she resigned. Thus it was very easy for her to resign.

After her resignation, Gu Qing called Jiang Xu. They went to Fenghua Luxury Mansion separately.

They did not live far away from Fenghua Luxury Mansion. It only took more than half an hour to get there by bus, but if it was rush hour, it took around an hour even by car.

There wasn't a direct bus there and Jiang Xu was also pulling two big suitcases, so it wasn't convenient for them to take a bus. They ended up taking a taxi.

Gu Ning made it a daily routine to get up early. She got up around six o'clock this morning, and went to have run downstairs.

She had run for an hour with three breaks.

After she caught her breath, she called her head teacher to ask for a leave.

It was not easy to ask for a leave as a senior in a high school, except if it was a special situation.

Gu Ning then lied to her teacher, she said that she was on her period, and it hurt so much that she couldn't get up.

Her head teacher was a woman too and she understood how painful it could be. Thus she agreed.

Gu Ning felt a little guilty. But she had to ask for a leave today.

Gu Ning finished her run before she went back home to take a shower.

At that time, Gu Man woke up. She was still a little confused when she found herself in the brand new house.

Gu Man got up to prepare breakfast.

When it was almost 10 o'clock, Gu Man received a call from Gu Qing saying that they had arrived.

Gu Ning let her mother tell them to wait at the sale department. They would be right downstairs.

Ten minutes later, both Gu Ning and Gu Man went downstairs.

Gu Ning had called Wei Zhirui before, so he was already waiting at the sales hall.

The minute Gu Ning and her family walked in, Wei Zhirui welcomed them with great passion.

Gu Qing had already made her choice of the house, so she directly told Gu Qing and Jiang Xu to take out their documents so that they could finish the legal procedure.

After that, Gu Ning paid the money before they got the key.

Wei Zhirui also gave Gu Ning's key back to her. Gu Ning had given the key to him because she had asked him to get an hourly cleaner to clean her new house.

When Gu Qing and Jiang Xu received the keys and the property ownership certificate, their hands were trembling.

They had never believed that they would own a house one day, even though the house was a gift from Gu Ning.

They all went back home with the suitcases afterwards.

Wei Zhirui felt touched while he walked Gu Ning and her family out. She was such a great kid. She not only bought a house for herself, but she also bought a house for the family of her aunt. They must be very close!

They went back to the ninth floor, building No. 2, zone G, and stopped at No. 906, which was Gu Qing's family's new house.

They opened the door and walked inside.

Although they already knew what it was like inside, they were still amazed by what they saw before their own eyes.

Gu Qing's family walked all around with excitement, like children at Halloween.

"Let's have a meal here first before we go out!" Gu Ning said.

Then, they walked out of No. 906, and stepped into No. 901.

Gu Man and Gu Qing went to cook together, while Gu Ning and Jiang Xu were talking.

"Uncle, do you have any difficulties in starting the business of construction materials?" Gu Ning asked. She didn't want to interfere in Jiang Xu's business. She just cared about it.

"As for the materials, I plan to go to the construction materials market today and have a look. As for the manufacturers, with a ten million yuan fund, we naturally will only use the best. I'll look up on the Internet first later before I contact the manufacturers," Jiang Xu said.

"Very well! I'll transfer one million yuan to you then. You can go buy a car. We don't need to be too high-profile at the beginning so five hundred thousand yuan would be enough. You can buy it directly in your name. Also buy a computer for yourself. The rest can be used as the deposit to find a store," Gu Ning said.

After the meal, they went out.

Gu Ning had intended to let Gu Man and Gu Qing put on their new clothes, but they refuse because they hadn't gotten used to it yet.

Gu Ning didn't force them to. It took time, and she understood.

There were many banks outside of Fenghua Luxury Mansion, so Gu Ning transferred a million yuan into Jiang Xu's account. She then also transferred one million yuan into Gu Man's and Gu Qing's card separately.

Gu Qing tried to reject. She thought she had received too many things from Gu Ning.

It was a million yuan after all, which was too much in Gu Qing's eyes.

However, Gu Ning persuaded her to accept it. Gu Qing was now more than moved.

Jiang Xu couldn't start his business in a short time. Besides, it took time to run it properly. They didn't go to work during that time, and were without other sources of income, so they could only rely on their savings.

Both Gu Man and Gu Qing had never had such a huge amount of money in their accounts. They seized their cards in hands tightly, in case it would be lost.

Chapter 85: A Quarrel In the Shopping Center

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Xu went to deal with his business, while Gu Ning along with Gu Man and Gu Qing took a taxi heading to the Commercial Building in downtown.

Gu Ning proposed to buy clothes first, but was stopped by Gu Qing. "Ningning, you already bought us clothes yesterday. We don't need to waste more money on clothing."

"It's not enough! My mom and I have dumped all of our old clothes. We also need to buy new clothing. Relax, we're not going to buy the designer brands, but some common brands," Gu Ning comforted.

They didn't need too many luxurious clothes. Luxurious clothing was only for important or special occasions.

In daily life, they could wear ordinary clothes.

People wore designer brand just to show off. Many medium-level brands were also of great quality.

Gu Qing listened to Gu Ning at the end.

They went to a medium-level brand of clothes to shop for Gu Man and Gu Qing.

Even though the brand was just medium-level, it was still a luxury for Gu Man and Gu Qing because they had never been to places like that.

Therefore, they were intimidated when they stepped in.

Gu Man and Gu Qing weren't wearing good clothes, and seemed poor, plus both of them behaved in an unconfident way, so the saleswoman assumed that they couldn't afford anything. Thus she didn't even bother to greet them.

Gu Ning ignored the saleswoman. She guided Gu Qing and Gu Man, walking around casually. If they liked it, they could buy something. If they didn't like it, they would leave.

Gu Qing chose a piece of clothing. She turned the price tag, and was shocked. "Gee! It costs 1,800 yuan!" 1,800 yuan was her salary for half a month!

Although she knew the clothes Gu Ning had bought for them cost much more than that, she still though the price was too high when she saw it with her own eyes.

Meanwhile, a sarcastic female voice sounded, "If you can't afford a 1,800 yuan piece of clothing, then don't ever step in here. Look at what you're wearing. You only deserve cheap stuff."

Gu Qing felt utterly embarrassed. She lowered her head in shame.

Gu Ning was upset. She looked to the woman, which was surprisingly familiar. Gu Ning lifted the corner of her lips. She looked evil, and called, "Oh, isn't this Ms Jin?"

The woman heard Gu Ning's voice. Her face changed immediately. "Who are you? I-I don't know you!"

Gu Ning was now sure that the woman must have gone to get her jewelry identified, given that she was being so diffident. If her jewelry had been real, she would have been mad to see Gu Ning again.

"Don't you remember? It was last Sunday, in the jewelry store…" Gu Ning reminded her on purpose.

"Shut your mouth!" The woman panicked and interrupt Gu Ning.

"What's wrong?" At that time, a woman in her early forties dressed in an extravagant way walked over from the other side. Her eyes rounded when she saw Gu Ning and her family.

Both Gu Qing and Gu Man were surprised and felt uneasy to meet the woman.

Gu Ning squinted her eyes with coldness.

The woman was Lin Lijuan, Gu Xiaoxiao's mother.

"Gu Qing, Gu Man, what are you doing here?" Lin Lijuan asked in surprised.

It was beyond her imagination that Gu Qing and Gu Man would show up here. In her eyes, they always wore cheap stuff from the street stalls.

Gu Qing and Gu Man didn't want to talk to Lin Lijuan at first, but they were relatives after all. It wasn't appropriate if they ignored her question in the public.

Accordingly, Gu Qing said airily, "We're just here to have a look."

Gu Qing didn't want her to know that they were here to shop.

In front of Lin Lijuan, they preferred to pretend to be poor forever.

"Oh, I thought you picked up money on the roads, and you dare to walk in a place like that!" Hearing that, Lin Lijuan suddenly changed her tone. She didn't bother to hide her complete disdain.

"Lin, do you know them?" the woman asked.

"Yeah, yeah. I've told you about them before. They're my sisters-in-law." Lin Lijuan sneered.

It seemed Lin Lijuan had badmouthed Gu Qing and Gu Man often behind their backs.

The woman immediately looked at Gu Man and Gu Qing with intense dislike. But since Gu Ning was here too, she didn't dare to laugh at them.

"Gu Man, you were brave to move out from the old house, rather than apologize to us." Although Lin Lijuan was still mad at Gu Ning. Gu Man and Gu Ning had paid for their behavior. Thus she wasn't as annoyed as before, but now, seeing that Gu Qing was with Gu Man, Lin Lijuan believed that Gu Qing must have let Gu Man stay with her. She was immediately irritated. "Gu Qing, did you let Gu Man stay with you? Our mother has made it clear. If you dare to let Gu Man stay with you, we won't help you anymore."

It sounded like they had helped Gu Qing.

Gu Ning, who had been ignored, couldn't help laughing in an ironic way.

Lin Lijuan didn't notice Gu Ning until now, but when she looked to Gu Ning, she was amazed at her first glance.

Yes, she was amazed, because Gu Ning was totally different now.

Gu Ning was more beautiful than before, and she didn't abase herself before anyone any longer. She looked elegant to some extent.

"That makes it sound like the Gu Family has ever helped my aunt. As far as I know, my aunt had relied on herself ever since she got married." Gu Ning stared at Lin Lijuan. She didn't bother to hide her complete dislike either.

Lin Lijuan immediately wore an unpleasant face.

She was embarrassed by Gu Ning's words in public.

Then, Gu Qing followed up. "Lin Lijuan, let's be clear. We have never ever received your help! Besides, Gu Man doesn't stay with me now."

She had indeed never received help from Gu Qinxiang. She wouldn't let Lin Lijuan take advantage of her.

"You…" Lin Lijuan's face seemed more unpleasant. But she couldn't deny the truth.

Chapter 86: What Are You?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a long breath in, Lin Lijuan lied without hesitation, "Gu Qing, we're relatives. How could I step aside when you need help? The point is that you never talk to us about your troubles! And Gu Man, the old house belongs to the sons of our mother, but we've allowed you to live in there for so many years. We've done a lot for you both!"

"They paid you rent! Besides, it was you who kicked them out when they were in trouble!" Gu Qing retorted.

Lin Lijuan was immediately mad. "That was because Gu Ning hit my daughter and even refused to apologize! They deserved it!"

"She deserved it." Gu Ning met Lin Lijuan's glare without cowardice.

"You…" Lin Lijuan was annoyed as well as surprised that Gu Ning dared to talk to her in that way.

The people in the Gu Family, especially the younger generation all respected her the most, but Gu Ning was different. She even humiliated Gu Xiaoxiao in front of Lin Lijuan's face. "What do you think you are to hit my daughter?" Lin Lijuan said.

"What does she think she is to insult me?" Gu Ning asked back.

"So what? What do you think you are? You bastard!" Lin Lijuan swore at Gu Ning in public. She behaved like a crazy woman.

"Shut up!" Both Gu Qing and Gu Man snapped. They were totally aggravated.

"Lin Lijuan, Ningning is my daughter. I won't allow you to humiliate her!" Gu Man slammed.

Gu Man was gentle, or weak to some extent in her daily life, but once Gu Ning was involved, she would become a hedgehog and attack the enemy at once.

"She doesn't have a father. She is a bastard!" Lin Lijuan instead didn't feel guilty at all.

At that time, Lin Lijuan only felt that it suddenly went black. When she got her mind back, Gu Ning's face was already magnified in front of her eyes.

There was pure coldness in Gu Ning's eyes. Lin Lijuan immediately felt great pressure. She couldn't breathe or move at all.

Then, Gu Ning said coldly, "Don't think that just because you're older than me, I wouldn't dare to hit you. If I even hear the word bastard from your mouth once more, you'll pay for it."

Gu Ning's words were like magic sounds, which sank deeply into Lin Lijuan's mind. She didn't question her words at all, but felt very frightened.

"Mom, aunt, let's go." Gu Ning ignored Lin Lijuan. She left with Gu Man and Gu Qing.

She didn't want to argue with Lin Lijuan in public, especially when Gu Man and Gu Qing were here too.

Lin Lijuan might not want to maintain her dignity, but Gu Man and Gu Qing cherished theirs.

When Gu Ning and her families were gone, Lin Lijuan finally got her mind back because of a sound from the woman next to her. Although Lin Lijuan still felt afraid of Gu Ning, she was more mad at Gu Ning who had treated her in that way.

Why? How could Gu Ning do that?

Lin Lijuan then realized that everyone around gave her a strange glance because she had behaved like a crazy woman. She regretted it immediately and then rushed out.

Although Lin Lijuan was always pushy and mean to her family, she valued her appearance in others' eyes very much. However, today she hadn't restrained herself.

Gu Qing and Gu Man were both annoyed, but they already knew what kind of person Lin Lijuan was, so they kind of got used to it.

"Alright, don't be mad at someone who isn't important at all. Let's keep on shopping," Gu Ning comforted.

Gu Qing and Gu Man sighed heavily. Actually, they had worried most that Gu Ning would be hurt. However, because Gu Ning remained calm, and they also relaxed a little.

After a while, they all cheered up. Each one of them had many bags in hand.

They bought a lot, not only for themselves, but also for Jiang Xu and Jiang Xinyue. The price ranged from hundreds to thousands of yuan.

Each had bought four to five suits of clothes.

Women loved shopping. Although Gu Man and Gu Qing were not willing to spend a lot of money at first, they soon forgot about it while shopping in the mall.

After that, they went to buy sheet sets.

Gu Ning and her mother bought four sets. Each room needed three sets for replacement. There were three bedrooms in their new house. They naturally needed nine sets in all. However, there were already three sheet sets on the beds in their new house. They were all new too and only needed to be washed.

They had also bought two sheet sets yesterday, and only needed to buy another four sheet sets.

Even though the guest room was empty almost all the time, they wanted to make it look cosy as well.

Gu Qing's family bought six sheet sets for their three rooms as well.

Those sheet sets were too heavy to carry. Gu Ning also couldn't put them into the telepathic eye space, because it would expose herself.

Therefore, they could only get the shop owner to help them with delivery. Not now, but when they were about to leave.

There were all kinds of food on the underground floor of the Commercial Building. Cosmetics were on the first floor, and jewelry on the second floor, women's clothing was on the third floor, men's clothing on the fourth floor, furniture and domestic appliances on the fifth floor and children's clothes and stationery on were the sixth floor, while musical instruments and sports equipment were on the seventh floor.

Gu Ning went down to the second floor to buy jewelry for Gu Man and Gu Qing.

Although gold was a little boring, it was suitable for women at Gu Man and Gu Qing's age.

Jade would be more suitable of course, but their jade hadn't been done yet. Gu Ning had to wait for Qin Yifan to come back and take the jade to make jewelry. Thus she decided to buy gold for now.

They bought one set each.

A necklace, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a ring.

Gold wasn't expensive. One set just cost around forty to fifty thousand yuan.

They then went to get a VIP card in a high-end beauty salon near the Commercial Building. However, their time was limited today, so they didn't use it right away.

After they got the card, it was almost 5 pm. They also needed to go back home, because Jiang Xinyue was about to leave her school to go home too.

They directly took the delivery car with their sheet sets home.

The delivery car stopped at the outside of G zone, so Gu Ning and her family had to carry all the stuff back by themselves.

Luckily, Jiang Xinyue was back, and she could help.

At the end, Jiang Xinyue carried two sheet sets, Gu Qing and Gu Man each carried four sheet sets, while Gu Ning carried the rest of the bags.

When they were finally home, it was 6 pm already. It was time for their meal.

Gu Qing called Jiang Xu to ask him when he would get back. Jiang Xu was already on his way home, so Gu Qing asked him to go buy some food ingredients on his way.

Although it was a tiring day, they all had great fun.

Jiang Xinyue jumped around with her new clothes in hand. She had never had so many beautiful clothes before!

Chapter 87: Run 10 Circles Before Getting Your Gift

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before Jiang Xu got home, everyone was resting.

On the other side, Lin Lijuan had been aggravated by Gu Ning. She stopped shopping and went back home earlier.

Once she got home, Lin Lijuan kept swearing at Gu Ning and her mother.

"What happened?" Her mother-in-law asked. Although she heard Lin Lijuan swearing at Gu Ning and her mother, she didn't know what had happened.

Lin Lijuan then told the old lady everything.

"What? Gu Ning the bastard threatened you today? Isn't today Monday? Why wasn't she at school?" The old lady was also surprised.

Hearing that, Lin Lijuan finally realized today was Monday, but Gu Ning wasn't in her school. "Who knows. She probably dropped out!"

Saying that, Lin Lijuan even believed it was true, and slightly felt happy.

"If she really dropped out, she deserved it. She wouldn't apologize to Xiaoxiao, and even yelled at me." The old lady snorted with anger. She had no sympathy for her granddaughter at all.

"Oh, did Gu Qing behave against my warning and let Gu Man and Gu Qing stay with her?" the old lady asked.

"I don't know. She said no." Although Gu Qing had denied it, Lin Lijuan didn't believe her. The rent was so high outside. How could Gu Man and Gu Qing afford it?

"No, I must give them a call." The old lady seemed like she enjoyed humiliating Gu Man and Gu Ning so much. She immediately took out her phone and called Gu Man.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

Gu Man did it on purpose of course.

The old lady called her after they had had a fierce argument with Lin Lijuan. She must be calling to criticize them. Gu Man didn't want to answer the call at all.

…

Jiang Xu had walked around in the construction materials market. There was a good location to open a shop, but it was too small.

Jiang Xu did have a good choice, but the store was located outside of the construction materials market. It was noticeable and huge, around 300 square meters, and the annual rent was five hundred thousand yuan.

If his business was profitable, he could get the utilities fee back within several months, but if his business wasn't profitable, it would hard to settle a deal within a year.

After Gu Ning heard the news, she thought that they had to choose the huge store, and run a big business. Therefore, she supported Jiang Xu.

Although Jiang Xu thought it was a little risky, he was happy.

Gu Ning understood Jiang Xu was slightly worried. She comforted him to do his best, he didn't need to worry about the money.

Before Gu Ning went to sleep, she talked with her friends in their "Family of Fighters" WeChat group. She told them to keep training tomorrow.

Anyone who didn't show up before 6:20 am wouldn't get his or her gift.

Knowing that, each of them all promised they would show up on time tomorrow.

Except for Yu Mixi, the rest all didn't lack money, or gifts. However, they lacked meaningful gifts. It had nothing to do with the price.

As long as the gift was from Gu Ning, they would be happy even if it was only worth several yuan.

The next morning, Gu Ning got up at 5:30 am and left her home at 5:35 am.

Fenghua Luxury Mansion was seven to eight kilometers away from her school. It took her around 25 minutes to get there by running.

When she arrived at her school, it was 6 am. She went to buy breakfast, and coincidentally met Yu Mixi on her way.

That girl was pretty early today!

"Ningning, you're finally back!" Seeing Gu Ning, Yu Mixi was super excited. She ran to Gu Ning and held her arm tightly.

They seemed very close, but it was quite normal between close friends.

Although Gu Ning didn't like to have physical touch with others, she could accept it if the other person was her friend.

"What do you want for breakfast? It's on me!" Yu Mixi asked.

Yu Mixi was Gu Ning's close friend so she didn't reject her kindness. "A steamed bun and soy milk please!"

They didn't have much time left, so it was convenient to have a steamed bun and soy milk.

Both Gu Ning and Yu Mixi bought a steamed bun and soy milk. They went into their school together.

"Ningning, can you tell me what my gift is?" Yu Mixi was curious.

"Sorry, I can't. I'll show you all when everyone arrives," Gu Ning answered.

"Fine." Yu Mixi was a little disappointed.

There were a few students running in the morning.

They met Mu Ke halfway.

They were all in school uniforms. Thus Mu Ke actually didn't recognize them from their back at first, but he soon recognized their voices.

"Hey boss, Mixi."

He ran to them immediately.

"Boss, where is my gift?" Mu Ke asked for his gift at once too.

"Ningning said she would only show us when everyone arrives," Yu Mixi said before Gu Ning could.

Mu Ke then had the same feeling of disappointment as Yu Mixi.

When they arrived at the football field, it was 6:10 am. Chu Peihan came minutes later. She asked for her gift too, but got the same answer as well.

A few minutes later, Hao Ran and his friends arrived. They ran here, and were all out of breath.

"Boss, where is my gift?" Hao Ran asked with excitement.

"Run 10 circles first. The last one, except for Mixi, will only get his or her gift after the morning class," Gu Ning said, then she started to run.

Ten circles amounted to four thousand meters.

No!

Hearing that, the boys all shouted in sadness. It was such a torture to them! The last one could only get his or her gift after the morning class. No one wanted to be the last one.

No one dared to argue with Gu Ning, unless they wanted to get punched, so they had to follow her at the end.

It seemed impossible for Hao Ran and his bros to beat Chu Peihan and Mu Ke, so they decided to compete with each other.

They now became competitors for Gu Ning's gifts.

Indeed, from the beginning, Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping were left behind.

However, they just hadn't caught their breath yet, it didn't mean they were weak. They actually weren't far behind Gu Ning.

Gu Ning ran three times longer than the others, but with her power, she was now much stronger than before.

She felt a little tired, but not much.

She had run seven to eight kilometers from Fenghua Luxury Mansion to her school, but she was simply slightly out of breath. She didn't feel utterly exhausted anymore.

Other than Gu Ning, Chu Peihan was the strongest among them.

Although Gu Ning didn't know Chu Peihan's background very well, she believed she must has received long-term professional training.

Chapter 88: Boss, You Are Awesome!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Peihan was one minute later than Gu Ning after they both had finished 10 circles.

It took an ordinary man three minutes and thirty seconds to four minutes to run a kilometer. The longer you ran, the more tired you would feel.

Gu Ning spent 13 minutes on four kilometers, while Chu Peihan spent 14 minutes.

After running, Chu Peihan was exhausted, but she could still balance her body.

Mu Ke was also one minute later than Chu Peihan.

He almost collapsed on the ground.

Yu Mixi who had run five circles came after Mu Ke. She was worn-out too, but after several days of running as training, Yu Mixi was stronger now.

The last group was Hao Ran, Qin Zixun, and then Zhang Tianping. It took him almost 20 minutes to finish the 10 circles.

"HA-ha, I'm not the last one." Hao Ran laughed excitedly. As if, if he had been the last one he would have been killed.

"No big deal. I just need to wait until the morning class is over," Zhang Tianping said airily.

"Relax, I won't do it. I merely wanted you all to be active," Gu Ning said.

"What? Boss, you're so devious!" everyone said with one accord, but their voices sounded weak.

Gu Ning didn't care. She sat down on the lawn with her backpack, while the others all surrounded her.

"Honestly, I didn't know what to buy. I basically chose them randomly. These are for you four boys."

Saying that, Gu Ning took out four paper boxes throwing them directly at the boys.

"Wow, Boss! It's an international brand!" Hao Ran raised his voice when he saw the logo on the boxes.

"Exactly, boss, have you picked up money on the road?" Mu Ke asked.

Both Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping looking at Gu Ning with curiosity and amazement.

They all knew well about Gu Ning's background now. It was barely affordable for her to buy a well-known domestic brand.

But, she even bought them stuff from an international brand as gifts.

"What brand?" Chu Peihan immediately grabbed the box from Mu Ke. She glanced at it, and was shocked, "Gee! It's Armani!"

She also stared at Gu Ning with surprise.

Gu Ning didn't answer their questions, but took out a bag, giving it to Chu Peihan.

When everyone saw the logo on the bag, they all rounded their eyes once more. It was Lancôme.

Chu Peihan threw the paper box back to Mu Ke at once. She even lost her interest in seeing what was inside.

"Boss, did you really pick up money on the roads? How generous are you!" Chu Peihan took her gift and asked in shock.

Gu Ning still didn't answer her question, but took out Yu Mixi's gift and gave it to her.

"Wow! It's a wallet."

Meanwhile, Hao Ran had opened his box.

"Gee! It's a perfume. Boss, I love you! How could you know I love perfume so much!" Chu Peihan was thrilled. She immediately hugged Gu Ning tightly.

Gu Ning actually didn't know how much Chu Peihan loved perfume. She could just smell the fragrance every time she met Chu Peihan.

"Oh, my gift is a phone!" Yu Mixi opened her package. She was excited and surprised to see a phone inside.

Although she already had a phone, it was old and second-hand. She even felt embarrassed to pull it out.

"Ningning, it must be very expensive." Yu Mixi liked it very much, but it was too expensive in her eyes.

"Indeed, boss. It may sound a little harsh, but we all know your background. How could you afford such expensive gifts?" Chu Peihan asked directly. They couldn't ignore the fact.

The rest all stared at Gu Ning. They didn't say another word, but their faces showed their puzzlement.

Gu Ning felt warmth in her heart at being cared for by all of her friends. Although she couldn't tell them too much, she decided to tell them something.

Therefore, Gu Ning told them she had saved a man's life, and she got a King's Green which was worth ten million yuan as a reward.

However, she didn't tell them what she had done in City G.

"What? The King's Green? Ten million yuan?"

Knowing that, everyone was struck dumb. It was so amazingly unbelievable!

Except for Mu Ke and Qin Zixun, no one else knew much about jade, but they had all heard of the King's Green, which was the top type and super expensive.

That was why it was worth ten million yuan for a piece the size of a quail's egg.

Yu Mixi excluded, most of them were from rich families, especially Zhang Tianping who had millions of yuan in assets on his own. However, none of them had ever had ten million yuan in hand.

Even Mu Ke's jewelry store only had several million yuan in assets.

Accordingly, ten million yuan was a huge amount of money in their eyes.

Besides, the jewelry in Mu Ke's jewelry store was all made of low-level jade. One ring only cost hundreds of yuan.

The King's Green was merely a legend to them.

Qin Zixun's family had run a jewelry business many generations ago. He had seen many medium-level jade, but he had only heard of the King's Green from books and the Internet.

After a long while, everyone finally got their minds back. It was so shocking.

"Boss, you're so awesome!" Hao Ran complimented. He now admired Gu Ning completely.

The rest all agreed.

Yu Mixi was envious, but not jealous. She knew she couldn't do it.

"But boss, why didn't you let us have a look before selling it?" Mu Ke complained.

"Exactly! It would be more exciting to see the King's Green than a super star!" Qin Zixun said.

"No, no. I still prefer to see a super star, especially my idol, Xu Zhefan." Chu Peihan immediately became shy and was full of love. Everyone immediately got goosebumps.

"Alright, I don't want anyone else to know about it, or I might get robbed someday," Gu Ning said.

"Sure, boss. We definitely won't tell others."

Chapter 89: Go to Yicui Jade-store

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"We'll never tell others." Everyone promised.

"Great! We need to go back to our classrooms now." Gu Ning stood up.

The group then went back to the teaching building.

Gu Xiaoxiao had heard about what had happened at the shopping mall yesterday from her mother. She didn't believe that Gu Ning had dropped out of the school, but she wanted to check for herself. Therefore, Gu Xiaoxiao kept looking at the stairs from the passage the minute she got to her school. She wanted to see whether Gu Ning would show up.

"Gu Ning is increasingly arrogant now! Not only has she hit you, she has also argued with your grandmother! Now she has even threatened you mother! I think she is going to despise your whole family!" Chen Ziyao said. She mainly wanted to add fuel to the flames.

Chen Ziyao was way smarter than Gu Xiaoxiao. Ever since Hao Ran and his bros regarded Gu Ning as their boss, she had been afraid of Gu Ning, but she hated Gu Ning as always.

Chen Ziyao had never been slapped by anyone, her parents included. She couldn't accept the fact that Gu Ning had hit her, but out of fright, Chen Ziyao didn't dare to annoy Gu Ning herself. Therefore, she tried to use Gu Xiaoxiao's hands to deal with Gu Ning.

If Gu Xiaoxiao had known about Chen Ziyao's scheme, she would have immediately broken off her relations with Chen Ziyao.

Unfortunately, she didn't know. Instead, she was immediately irritated and retorted, "Impossible! She is a poor bastard. What does she think she is to despise us!"

Although saying that, Gu Xiaoxiao did feel threatened by Gu Ning. Gu Ning had changed a lot these days. She suddenly became so excellent at fighting, and even made good friends with those rich kids.

Thinking of that, Gu Xiaoxiao felt more annoyed and upset. A vicious look appeared on her face. "I will ruin her!" Gu Xiaoxiao said.

Chen Ziyao of course was happy to hear that. That was exactly what she wanted.

Even though she doubted whether Gu Xiaoxiao could succeed or not, it had nothing to do with her after all.

"Look, Gu Ning is coming." At the same time, Chen Ziyao saw that Gu Ning and others were downstairs.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked over. There were many people around Gu Ning, which made her even more jealous. "It's so disappointing."

She was now eager to ruin Gu Ning.

When Gu Ning walked into her classroom, she almost knocked into Shao Feifei.

In the past, Shao Feifei would have sworn at her already, but now, she just glared at Gu Ning without saying a word.

Shao Feifei had the same feelings as Chen Ziyao. She hated Gu Ning as usual, but didn't dare to do anything.

They all schemed to do something to get revenge on Gu Ning.

The head teacher came to the classroom during the morning class. She informed the students there would be a monthly test this Friday.

When the morning class was almost over, Gu Ning received a message from Qin Yifan. He was at the airport now, and would arrive at City F after two hours. He told her to come to Yicui Jade-store with her jade if she was free this afternoon.

Qin Yifan couldn't wait to see the jade. He knew the jade had to be special, but Qin Yifan would never have expected that it was a top-level jade, even as rare as the King's Green.

Gu Ning also wanted to make the jewelry as soon as possible, so she agreed to go see Qin Yifan this afternoon.

The break was long, and Chu Peihan ran to the fourth classroom to play with Gu Ning and Yu Mixi.

Once Chu Peihan appeared, everyone in the classroom felt frightened. They were all scared to be beaten by Chu Peihan.

Mu Ke, Hao Ran and his bros all wanted to go to Gu Ning as well, but since they were boys, they were afraid it might cause unnecessary gossip for Gu Ning. Therefore they gave up at the end.

Gu Ning immediately left her school when the morning classes were over.

There was a black Hummer stopped by the road outside their school. It attracted lots of attention.

The car was so cool. It was a Hummer. It must be super expensive.

It cost at least several million yuan.

Gu Ning was also attracted by that cool Hummer, but she just gave it two glances, then immediately left in a taxi.

Gu Ning didn't see the person in the Hummer, but he saw her.

Leng Shaoting was in the driver seat.

Leng Shaoting showed up for a reason. He just flew here from City G. He wasn't sure Gu Ning would come out this afternoon, but he still came to her school. Coincidentally, he met her.

Seeing Gu Ning head off in a taxi, Leng Shaoting drove his car and immediately followed her.

Gu Ning didn't notice someone was following her. She got out at the Commercial Building, then directly went into the supermarket. She walked towards Yicui Jade-store afterwards.

In Yicui Jade-store, Qin Yifan had been waited for a long time. The minute he had landed at 10 am, he came to his shop.

Although he knew Gu Ning wouldn't show up until 12:30 pm, he couldn't wait to get here.

Normally, Qin Yifan wouldn't stay in the store for longer than an hour for inspections, but this time, he had been here for over two hours. All the staff felt nervous and confused.

When it was almost 12:20 pm, he kept looking at the entrance of the store.

Therefore, once Gu Ning appeared in his sight, he immediately ran over with excitement. "Gu Ning, finally you're here! Come on, show me the jade!" Qin Yifan urged.

"Relax! Let's get inside first." Gu Ning rolled her eyes. It wasn't appropriate to take out such a priceless object in public.

Qin Yifan wore an embarrassed smile. He immediately welcomed Gu Ning inside.

The minute Gu Ning stepped in, all the staff in Yicui Jade-store recognized her. She had been here with the King's Green last time, which was too shocking to forget.

Seeing their boss so excited, everyone thought the girl must have some valuable jade to sell again this time.

Thinking of that, the crowd couldn't stay calm any longer. They all fixed their eyes on Gu Ning, but Qin Yifan guided Gu Ning walking to his office. They couldn't see it for themselves, and were all disappointed.

Once the two were in the office, Qin Yifan invited Gu Ning to have a seat. He then urged, "Now, can you show me the jade?"

Gu Ning smiled resignedly. She took off her backpack and opened it. The jade was wrapped carefully. She handed it to Qin Yifan.

Chapter 90: Let Him Search Her Body

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Yifan almost grabbed the package from Gu Ning and opened it at once.

When he saw the jade inside, he was shocked dumb. He looked at Gu Ning. It was so unbelievable! "This-this is Fulushou jade!"

And it was huge.

It was universally acknowledged that Fulushou jade was as rare as the King's Green. It was too rare to buy one even if you were super rich.

"Yes. I plan to use it to make four bracelets, four pairs of earrings, four pendants, and a wide ring. The wide ring is merely the size of your thumb. And the rest can be made into a few pendants or pairs of earrings," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Qin Yifan took a heavy breath in. "Do you want us to design their patterns?" he asked.

"Yes. As for the jade pendants, one should be engraved with a snake, one engraved with a cow, one engraved with a rabbit, and one engraved with a dragon." These are the Chinese zodiac signs of Gu Man, Gu Qing, Gu Ning, and Jiang Xinyue.

"In the same order, please carve "Man", "Qing", "Ning" and "Yue" on the backs separately. And please do the same thing on the inside of the four bracelets. I've already written them down on the paper. As for the earrings, there is no specific request. Just don't be too common, please. For the wide ring, please carve "Xu" inside. As for the rest of the jade, make whatever jewelry you can make."

"Sure," Qin Yifan answered. He felt like saying something.

Gu Ning noticed, and she thought Qin Yifan wanted help, so she asked him, "Just tell me if want to say something!"

Qin Yifan still felt a little embarrassed to open his mouth, but after a while, he asked, "Do you plan to send the jewelry made from the rest of the jade to others?"

"No, I'm going to sell them," Gu Ning said.

Knowing that, Qin Yifan was immediately happy. He immediately asked with anticipation, "Could you please sell the rest of the jade to me?"

Qin Yifan wanted to use the Fulushou jade to make earrings and pendants for his mother.

Gu Ning didn't know what to say at first. She had intended to put the Fulushou jewelry in her shop to attract customers, but since Qin Yifan had asked her, she wasn't willing to turn him down. With her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning would be able to discover more valuable jade as long as she went to Province Y.

Therefore, Gu Ning agreed, "No problem."

Qin Yifan was thrilled to have Gu Ning's affirmative answer.

Except for the part that Gu Ning needed to make jewelry, there was enough left over to make another two jade pendants and two pairs of earrings. Qin Yifan planned to make a pendant and a pair of earrings for both his mother and his elder sister.

Qin Yifan also didn't charge Gu Ning for the carving. No matter if he was being thankful, or he simply didn't want to charge Gu Ning, the fee was excluded.

Gu Ning insisted on paying the fee in vain, so she agreed at the end.

Qin Yifan was always active when Gu Ning was involved. He promised that the jewelry would be done after three days.

Three days were more than enough time.

Gu Ning still had classes this afternoon, so she didn't stay there much longer.

Qin Yifan proposed to send her back, but Gu Ning refused. She didn't want her schoolmates to gossip.

Qin Yifan understood, so he gave up.

Gu Ning had come here in a hurry and hadn't eaten yet. She planned to eat at the underground first floor before going back.

It was almost 1:30 pm, and Gu Ning still had enough time to eat.

Gu Ning ordered her meal and it was soon prepared. While she enjoyed eating, a dark shadow sat down across from her.

Gu Ning raised her head. She was shocked when she saw the man.

It was him! Why was he here?

"What?"

Gu Ning was so surprised that she sprayed rice all over the man's body. Leng Shaoting was immediately displeased.

Gu Ning felt embarrassed. She immediately apologized, "Sorry, my fault. I didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me."

She handed tissues to Leng Shaoting without delay.

Leng Shaoting frowned a little. He took the tissues and wiped the rice off of his clothes.

Luckily, he easily cleaned it up after a few wipes.

"Well, um, why are you here?" Gu Ning asked.

Although she asked the question, she already knew the answer.

Indeed…

"The gun," the man said coldly and didn't say anything else.

Gu Ning's face changed slightly. That man was indeed smart. He knew that she had hidden a gun with her, and he had chased her all the way, but so what? She had already hidden the gun in the telepathic eye space. It was impossible for him to find it.

Accordingly, Gu Ning soon calmed herself down. She pretended to be innocent, "What gun?"

Knowing Gu Ning wouldn't admit it, Leng Shaoting wasn't mad, but remained patient. "The man who has been knocked unconscious by you in private room 503. His gun is missing. You must have taken it away."

"Why must it only be me because the gun is missing?" Gu Ning retorted, although she did take the gun.

"If it's not you, then it must be the guy who was with you," Leng Shaoting said.

Leng Shaoting still believed it must have been Gu Ning who took the gun.

Gu Ning was speechless.

She wanted to say that the hotel manager may have taken it, but she couldn't do it. She didn't want to blame others for what she had done.

"I didn't take it. I need to attend my classes, and I have no time to be talking to you. Bye." Gu Ning didn't know what to say, so she could only run away. She put on her backpack, walking ahead.

Leng Shaoting didn't stop her, which surprised Gu Ning. Did he give up?

Gu Ning was wrong. The man didn't stop her, but followed her.

At the beginning, Gu Ning believed that they might be going the same way, but no matter where she went, he would walk behind her. He was apparently following her.

"Why are you following me?" Gu Ning asked resignedly. Did she have to give the gun back to him?

"I'll follow you until you give the gun back to me," Leng Shaoting said.

Gu Ning was speechless again, but she was really reluctant to give the gun back to him.

Although she knew she couldn't easily get away with it, she wanted to give it a try.

"Since you believe the gun is with me, you can search for it!" Gu Ning stepped forward, like she was prepared for him to search her body.

Leng Shaoting unconsciously stepped back. He frowned a little with a look of dislike in his eyes.

"I said I didn't take the gun, and you won't believe it. Now I let you search for it, but you don't want to do it. So, please stop following me, or I'll call the police," Gu Ning threatened him, then turned around walking away.

This time, Leng Shaoting didn't follow her up. He stood there still watching Gu Ning disappear from his sight.

However, it didn't mean he already gave up just like that. He simply didn't want to cause a scene.

Seeing that Leng Shaoting stopped following her, Gu Ning was relieved.
