Chapter 541: Go to City B with Gu Man

Hearing what Gu Ning had just said, Tang Haifeng was finally relieved and burst into tears.

“Girl Gu, thank you so much for your understanding. We owe you and your mother a lot, and we do hope that you can give us a chance to make it up to you so that you can accept us, especially your father, as your family,” Tang Haifeng said with sincerity.

Gu Man was the only woman Tang Yunfan loved and Gu Ning was his only child too, so Tang Haifeng sincerely hoped that they could accept the Tang family and join them. Although they didn’t know much about Gu Ning or Gu Man yet, they valued family above anything else.

It wasn’t a common thing among the super-rich families, because Gu Ning was very likely to be the heir of the Tanghuang Group and take away the property from other members in the Tang family.

Of course, Gu Ning had no intention to do that, because she preferred to build up her own business empire by herself.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I don’t have any grudge against the Tang family. My mother and Uncle Tang need some time to get familiar with one another again, but the most important and urgent thing we have to deal with now is to wake him up,” Gu Ning said. Before they accepted each other as family, she still called Tang Yunfan Uncle Tang.

“Oh, you’re right!” Tang Haifeng realized that it was too early to discuss that now, because Tang Yunfan hadn’t woken up yet. Moreover, Gu Man also had the right to make the decision on her own, and they couldn’t force her to do what they wanted.

Tang Haifeng inhaled deeply to calm himself down, then opened his mouth. “Mingkai said that Yunfan’s obsession is your mother and you. If you can talk to him he might wake up.”

Hearing that, Gu Ning’s eyes lit up at once. She thought that it was highly possible to be true. Otherwise, why was Tang Yunfan still unconscious, even though his body was in good condition?

Gu Ning had already witnessed the reality of magical power, zombies, and Yin, so it wasn’t difficult for her to believe that obsession could also be true. Even though it might not be because of obsession, Gu Ning would give it a try as long as it was possible.

“If so, I’m more than willing to do that, but I have to discuss it with my mother first,” Gu Ning said. She had to respect Gu Man’s opinions.

“Sure-sure,” Tang Haifeng said excitedly. Although Gu Ning hadn’t agreed yet, he knew that she was willing to help them.

“Girl Gu, if you’ve made your decision, call me and I’ll send a private jet to pick you up,” Tang Haifeng said.

“No problem.”

Gu Ning and Gu Man could actually fly there on their own, which could save a lot of time too, but Gu Ning still accepted Tang Haifeng’s proposal, because they had their dignity.

The Tang family had to show their kindness and be respectful of Gu Ning’s as well as Gu Man’s importance so that Gu Ning and Gu Man would accept them as family.

Gu Ning also hoped that Gu Man and Tang Yunfan could be happy together in the future, but she wouldn’t allow anyone in the Tang Family to disrespect Gu Man.

Gu Ning didn’t care about the wealth and influence of the Tang Family. Even if Tang Yunfan was an ordinary man or even a beggar, she would still be supportive as long as he treated Gu Man well.

After hanging up, Gu Ning went back to the private room.

“Ningning, you’ve been out on the phone for so long. Was it really important?” Gu Man asked with concern.

Gu Ning didn’t hide it but told her directly, “Grandpa Tang just called me.”

Hearing that, Gu Man’s body stiffened a little. She subconsciously thought that it had to be something about Tang Yunfan. “What happened to him?” She asked in a hurry.

“Grandpa Tang said that a friend of his told him that Uncle Tang is still unconscious because he’s trapped by his obsession, and his obsession is you and me. If we can talk to him he might wake up, so Grandpa Tang called me and asked me whether we’re willing to do so,” Gu Ning said. “Grandpa Tang also said that he hopes that we can join the Tang family as their family. What do you think?”

“Well…” Gu Man didn’t know what to do now. She was, of course, willing to help Tang Yunfan, but she wasn’t mentally prepared yet to be a member of the Tang family right now. Besides, upon thinking about it she would panic.

“Mom, don’t worry. Just follow your heart and make a choice,” Gu Ning said.

In Gu Ning’s eyes, the Tang family was barely comparable to Gu Man, just like Tang Yunfan was irreplaceable for the Tang family. If she had to make a choice between them, Gu Ning wouldn’t hesitate to choose Gu Man over the Tang family and the Tang family would choose Tang Yunfan over Gu Ning and Gu Man too.

“Man, Ningning is right. Don’t think too much and just follow your heart,” Gu Qing said. She also hoped that Gu Man could live a happy life in the future, but it wasn’t an easy choice.

If Gu Man had no feelings for Tang Yunfan or failed to love him again, she could give it up.

Gu Man remained silent for a while then said, “I can help him, but I need time to see how it goes between him and me.”

“Sure, then I’ll call Grandpa Tang now, and he’ll arrange a private jet to pick us up,” Gu Ning said. Tang Yunfan was in an urgent situation now, and they had nothing important to deal with in City F, so they decided to go to City B first.

“Aunt, do you mind going back alone?” Gu Ning asked Gu Qing.

“Of course not. Don’t worry about me. I can get your uncle to pick me up at the airport,” Gu Qing said. She was very considerate.

In the Tang family’s house, everyone asked Tang Haifeng for the result once he hung up the call with Gu Ning and walked back to the living hall.

Tang Haifeng told them about what Gu Ning had said to him on the phone, and they all relaxed knowing that Gu Ning and her mother didn’t hate Tang Yunfan. That was all they hoped for. In addition, they also understood that Gu Ning had to discuss with her mother first whether they should come and help to wake Tang Yunfan up.

Since Gu Ning and Gu Man needed time to accept them as their family, they were willing to wait as well.

As long as Gu Man didn’t hate Tang Yunfan, it was highly possible that she would get together with him again for the sake of their child, Gu Ning.

Right at this moment, Tang Haifeng’s phone rang, and the caller was Gu Ning.

Chapter 542: Like a Child

Seeing the caller’s name, Tang Haifeng was excited as well as worried because he didn’t know whether Gu Ning and her mother would agree or disagree. Although he thought that it was more likely to be an affirmative answer, he was still nervous.

“Girl Gu, are you willing to come?”

Gu Ning said, “Yes, my mother also agreed.”

“R-really?” Tang Haifeng was cheered up at once. “When will you come? I’ll arrange a private jet right away.”

“Anytime,” Gu Ning said.

“Great! I’ll send the private jet to pick you up right now,” Tang Haifeng said in a hurry. He couldn’t wait a second longer to meet Gu Ning and Gu Man now. “Oh, will you stay in the Tang family’s house, or your own house?” He asked that question out of respect.

“We’ll stay in my house,” Gu Ning said. They would feel a little uneasy if they stayed in the Tang family’s house at the moment.

“No problem,” Tang Haifeng said.

Gu Ning then told Tang Haifeng their detailed location in City G before hanging up, and Tang Haifeng immediately arranged a private jet to pick them up.

After that, he told Tang Yunrong to prepare some clothes for Gu Ning and Gu Man because they directly came from City G and probably didn’t bring a change of clothes with them. Moreover, they could often stay in City B, so it was necessary to prepare clothing for them.

However, they had only met Gu Ning, and had no idea about Gu Man’s stature. Luckily, Quan Mingkai knew it.

Hearing that Gu Man resembled Gu Ning in body type, but was a little shorter than her, Tang Yunrong went to prepare without delay.

As a lady from a super-rich family, Tang Yunrong had very good taste of clothing.

Ever since Gu Ning had made the decision to fly to City B, Leng Shaoting seemed a little upset, because he was afraid that he couldn’t spend much time alone with Gu Ning if Gu Ning flew to City B with Gu Man.

However, when he heard that Gu Ning wouldn’t stay in the Tang family’s house, but in her own house, his face lit up at once.

Seeing Leng Shaoting’s reactions, Gu Ning was amused and felt that he really was like a child who would be happy immediately if she gave him a candy.

In fact, Gu Ning really was a sweet candy in Leng Shaoting’s eyes and he was reluctant to let it go.

Gu Qing would fly to City F at 2:50 pm, and it was still around three hours away from the departure time. The private jet sent by Tang Haifeng would arrive at City G in three hours too.

When Gu Qing, Gu Man and Gu Ning left for the airport together, Leng Shaoting drove them there.

Gu Qing and Gu Man felt a little embarrassed. “Shaoting, will it be a waste of your time?” Gu Man asked.

“Not at all. My vacation isn’t over yet and I’m free after all,” Leng Shaoting said.

Hearing that, Gu Man relaxed.

When they arrived at the airport, they sent Gu Qing to the lounge first, then the rest of them went to a VIP lounge waiting for the private jet.

“Ningning, shouldn’t we take the boarding cards first?” Gu Man was confused when Gu Ning guided her, walking straight to the VIP lounge, because she didn’t know that Tang Haifeng sent a private jet to pick them up.

“It’s a private jet, so we can go aboard when it lands,” Gu Ning said.

“What?” Gu Man was surprised. To her astonishment, the Tang family sent a private jet to pick them up! Thinking of the helicopter that had come to pick Tang Yunfan up last time, Gu Man felt more nervous now because she sensed that the Tang family wasn’t a common rich family.

“Ningning, what does the Tang family do?” Gu Man asked in the end.

Gu Ning understood why Gu Man was nervous, and she didn’t want Gu Man to abase herself in front of the Tang family, so she comforted Gu Man. “The Tang family is a very influential family, but mom, your daughter isn’t weak either. You can be 100% confident to face them and don’t feel stressed. The Tang family values family most. Don’t worry.”

Gu Man relaxed a little after Gu Ning’s comfort, but she still had no idea that the Tang family was actually the richest family in City B. Gu Ning hadn’t told her yet because she didn’t want Gu Man to be too stressed out.

Seeing Leng Shaoting staying by their side the entire time, Gu Man said to him, “Shaoting, you don’t need to accompany us all the time. If you need to deal with something, please feel free to leave.”

“It’s fine. I have nothing else to deal with and I can stay here with you,” Leng Shaoting said.

Since he said so, Gu Man didn’t insist.

Half an hour later, the private jet arrived. The airport staff drove Gu Man, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting over. When they arrived at the front of the private jet, there was someone already waiting for them.

Leng Shaoting didn’t leave until they were all aboard. He then went to take the plane ticket that he had just booked and called Ai Weichen.

Ai Weichen said that he would send someone to take his car back.

The flight Leng Shaoting was going to take would take off after 50 minutes, which was the earliest airplane he could book.

Three hours later, the Tang family’s private jet landed at the airport of City B. Once they got off the plane, they took an exclusive car to the Tang family’s house.

On the way, Gu Man was very nervous, so Gu Ning held her hands the entire time to comfort her.

“Ningning, should we bring some gifts?” Gu Man asked. For now, Gu Man was still a guest for the Tang family, so she thought that it would be polite if she brought some gifts to visit them.

“It’s fine, Mom” Gu Ning said. “We’re not guests.” At least, they soon wouldn’t be guests any longer.

Although Gu Man still felt that it was a little impolite, she listened to Gu Ning as usual.

The moment the car entered the large house of the Tang family, Gu Man was totally stunned by the beautiful spacious yard and the grand main building. Jesus! The Tang family’s house is so large!

Members of the Tang family were already waiting for them at the gate with great anticipation.

Seeing that Gu Man was getting increasingly nervous. Gu Ning held her hands tightly and said, “Mom, relax.”

Nevertheless, Gu Man still couldn’t help feeling very nervous.

“Ningning, do I look good in my clothes?” Gu Man asked.

“Yes, you do,” Gu Ning said with a smile.

When the car stopped at the main building, a servant came to open the car door for them without delay. Gu Ning and Gu Man then got out of the car, walking to the members of the Tang family who were waiting for them.

Gu Man looked at them, but didn’t know what to say.

Is she Gu Ning’s mother? They were also surprised when Gu Man showed up.

Chapter 543: Gu Man Finally Meets the Tang Family

Gu Man looked so much younger than her real age, and she looked like Gu Ning’s elder sister when they walked together.

“Girl Gu, hi!” Tang Haifeng welcomed them with excitement.

“Hi, grandpa and everyone, so sorry to keep you waiting,” Gu Ning said, then greeted them one by one. “This is my mother, Gu Man.”

“Nice to meet you!” They greeted Gu Man.

“Nice to meet you too,” Gu Man greeted them at once, but she felt very uneasy.

Afterwards, Gu Ning introduced the members of the Tang family to Gu Man.

“I’m so sorry for what you’ve experienced during the past years.” Tang Haifeng almost cried, apologizing to Gu Man with sincerity.

Gu Man was the younger generation when compared with Tang Haifeng, so Tang Haifeng felt like she was just like one of his children.

“Master Tang, please don’t say that.” Gu Man panicked a little when Tang Haifeng apologized to her with tears in his eyes. “I don’t feel aggrieved at all.”

Indeed, Gu Man didn’t feel aggrieved at all. She had been willing to give birth to Gu Ning because she loved Ning, who was Gu Ning’s father. She wouldn’t take Tang Yunfan as Ning and love him now exactly like she had loved Ning, because they were different in her eyes, so she needed time to get along with Tang Yunfan.

“I understand,” Tang Haifeng sighed and he seemed very sad. At that moment, Tang Yunhang interrupted them. “Alright, let’s get inside now. It’s very cold outside.”

“Oh, right. It is very cold outside. Let’s go inside!” Tang Haifeng immediately invited Gu Ning and Gu Man to walk into the house.

“Do you feel tired now after the flight? You can have a rest first before we go to see Yunfan together,” Tang Haifeng said. He was very considerate. Gu Ning and Gu Man followed his lead, and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing that Gu Man was very nervous, Jiang Lihua and Tang Yunrong chatted with her to help her relax. And after a while, Gu Man gradually relaxed.

Before long, Gu Ning received Leng Shaoting’s message, he had arrived at City B too. Gu Ning didn’t have time to meet him now, so he would take care of himself.

After sitting for half an hour in the living hall, Gu Ning and Gu Man followed Tang Haifeng to Tang Yunfan’s room. The others didn’t follow them, in case Gu Man would be nervous, and the room would be cramped if there were too many people.

Once they were in Tang Yunfan’s room, both Tang Haifeng and Gu Man seemed very sad.

“Please don’t be too stressed. Just do you what can you, and it’ll be enough,” Tang Haifeng said to Gu Man.

“I will,” Gu Man replied but still felt a little stressed.

Tang Haifeng then left the room, in case Gu Man would feel uneasy if he was there.

“Ningning, what should I say?” Gu Man asked Gu Ning.

Gu Ning thought for a while then said, “You can talk to him about something that happened after you met each other and what you’ve been through when he suddenly disappeared. Let him know that you’ve lived a hard life, so that he’ll feel guilty and wake up.”

Even though it was painful for Gu Man to uncover her mental scars, if Tang Yunfan could wake up or regain his memory, it would be worth doing it. In addition, it was Gu Man’s choice to come here, and she was ready for it.

Gu Ning then walked downstairs, and left Gu Man alone in the room.

In the living hall, Tang Haifeng, Tang Yunhang and Cao Ruihua were there together, while Tang Yunrong, Jiang Lihua along with a domestic servant were busing preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Both Tang Yunrong and Jiang Lihua were from super-rich families, and they had never done housework before, but they had learned to do some ever since they had gotten married.

“Girl Gu, I used to wish that you could be a member of our family because you resemble Yunfan a lot. Unexpectedly, you are!” Tang Haifeng said when Gu Ning walked to them. He still felt that it was very unreal, because he was so afraid that it was just a dream.

Gu Ning could sense Tang Haifeng’s sincerity, and she smiled. “In fact, I had the same thought when you mentioned Uncle Tang back in City Teng, so I investigated. I was sure back then that Uncle Tang could be my biological father, but Uncle Tang had lost his memory about my mother, so I didn’t tell anyone about it. Instead, I decided to wait for a good time to bring it up. However, when I came to the Tang family’s house for the first time, Uncle Tang was affected and investigated later. I bet you all already know the things that happened after. Please forgive me for secretly investigating Uncle Tang and because I didn’t tell you the truth at the very beginning.”

When everyone heard that Gu Ning had already found out when they had been in City Teng, they were all shocked.

Cao Ruihua and Tang Yunhang had suspected that Gu Ning approached the Tang family on purpose before, but it was quite a surprise for them that Gu Ning actually was one of their family members.

“Of course we won’t blame you! Although I do feel that it was a shame that you didn’t tell us at the very beginning, I understand your decision,” Tang Haifeng said. It also proved that Gu Ning did not maintain a close relationship with them for money.

Gu Ning knew Tang Haifeng wouldn’t blame her, but she wouldn’t feel relieved until he said it in person.

“Oh, we’re prepared some clothes for you and your mother in the car in case you didn’t bring a change of clothes with you, and you can take them back to your house tonight. If you don’t like them, you can go shopping at Fengshang Shopping Mall when you’re free,” Tang Haifeng said

Gu Ning was surprised that Tang Haifeng was so considerate and she accepted it. “Thanks, grandpa.”

“Ha-ha, we’re a family after all,” Tang Haifeng said. Although Gu Ning and Tang Yunfan hadn’t accepted each other as family yet, Tang Haifeng had already accepted Gu Ning as his biological granddaughter.

Gu Ning smiled, and her silence showed her willingness to join the Tang family as their new family member.

Chapter 544: Old Memories

“Oh, where is Jiakai?” Gu Ning asked. She hadn’t seen Tang Jiakai ever since she had entered the Tang family’s house.

“He’s been in his school recently and he’s busy this weekend so he didn’t come back. We haven’t told him about what happened to Yunfan yet,” Tang Haifeng said.

In Tang Yunfan’s room, Gu Man sat by the bedside, holding his hand, talking to him.

“Ning, I know you lost your memory about us, so let me tell you now.”

His name wasn’t Tang Yunfan 18 years ago, so Gu Man called him Ning.

“Do you know why I named our daughter Gu Ning? It’s because your name was Ning.”

“Eighteen years, oh, no, 19 years ago to be specific, I met you. You had been injured all over your body. I took you to the hospital, but you told me that you had forgotten everything when you woke up and you wouldn’t let me go. To be honest, my heart skipped a beat when I saw you for the first time because you were so handsome and charming. However, you lost your memory when we met each other and I don’t know whether you were married or not, so I intentionally kept a distance from you. Well, I still fell in love with you in the end.”

“I remember everything that happened between us. Once when a man sexually insulted me in my workplace, you stood up for me and beat him down on the ground. You were injured too.”

“Once when…”

“Once when…”

Gu Man told many details of her old memories.

“You were very outstanding in work too and you became a supervisor after having worked in a company for only half a year, and you were gradually promoted to be the manager of the planning department. However, you were caught in a car accident, which was the beginning of our 18-years separation.”

“In the beginning, I wanted to kill myself, but I found out that I was already pregnant so I persuaded myself to live my life for the sake of our baby…”

When it was almost 7 pm, Gu Ning went upstairs to tell Gu Man to come have dinner with them. Gu Man had already spent two hours in Tang Yunfan’s room.

It wasn’t necessary to talk to Tang Yunfan for a whole day, and Gu Man could do it for around two hours in the morning and in the afternoon. It was tiring to talk for nearly four hours a day, and Gu Man needed rest as well.

When Gu Man walked out, she looked haggard with red swollen eyes.

“Ningning, I don’t think that I’m in a good condition to meet them,” Gu Man said.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” Gu Ning held Gu Man’s hands, and secretly put her power into Gu Man’s body to help Gu Man recover and cheer Gu Man up. However, Gu Ning didn’t help Gu Man recover completely back to normal. If Gu Man looked normal as usual after seeing Tang Yunfan in danger the others might think that she was cold blooded. Therefore, Gu Man still appeared with her slightly haggard face.

Nobody thought that she wasn’t beautiful anymore but had deep sympathy for her. All the members in the Tang family felt guilty, but they didn’t know what to say because they all hoped that Tang Yunfan would wake up as soon as possible.

During dinner, Tang Yunrong and Jiang Lihua kept putting all kinds of dishes into Gu Man’s bowl and told her to eat as much as she could. Gu Man actually had a poor appetite after crying and talking for two hours in Tang Yunfan’s room. Even so, she did her best to eat as much as she could in order to not worry Tang Yunrong and Jiang Lihua.

When Leng Shaoting arrived at City B, he sat in a restaurant waiting for Gu Ning.

Leng Shaoting’s outstanding appearance attracted a lot of attention from women around him, but many of them didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with him because he seemed very cold. However, one woman was an exception.

Because there was heating in the restaurant, many people took off their coats after they came in. And the woman who came to Leng Shaoting’s table was wearing a tight-fitting, low-cut red sweater with a hip hugging skirt that outlined her alluring figure. Accompanied by her delicate features and makeup look, she was able to win most men’s hearts. However, Leng Shaoting only loved Gu Ning, so he disliked any woman who struck up a conversation with him.

“Hey, may I sit here?” the woman asked in a sexy tone but it was quite disgusting in Leng Shaoting’s ears.

“No,” he said plainly, and the smile immediately froze on the woman’s face. It was the very first time that a man had rejected her in public! Even so, the woman didn’t want to give up because the man was so handsome. “Hey, don’t be so…”

“Leave me alone.” Before the woman could finish, Leng Shaoting opened his mouth again and gave her a cold glance. The woman was scared, and felt utterly embarrassed, so she left in a hurry.

Such things had happened many times.

When Gu Ning and Gu Man finished dinner, they went back to Huafu Hills; they would come again at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.

Tang Yunhang drove them back to Huafu Hills in person, and Gu Ning could drive her car to the Tang family’s house tomorrow. The car entered Huafu Hills, and stopped in front of a beautiful house.

When Gu Man saw the house she was totally shocked. To her astonishment, the Tang family was so generous.

Gu Ning had told Gu Man that the Tang family had given her a house before they went to visit them, but Gu Man didn’t know that the house was so luxurious and was located in City B. The housing price was extremely high in City B, and this house had to be worth over dozens of millions of yuan.

After they got out of the car, Tang Yunhang took out two 20-inch suitcases from its trunk. Gu Ning’s clothes were in one of them, and Gu Man’s were in another.

“What are these?’ Gu Man was confused.

“Grandpa Tang told my two aunts to prepare some clothes for us, in case we didn’t bring a change of clothes with us from City G,” Gu Ning explained.

“Well…” Gu Man was surprised that the Tang family was so considerate. “Please pass on my thanks to Master Tang,” Gu Man said to Tang Yunhang.

Actually they could buy new clothes by themselves, but they accepted Master Tang’s kindness since he already did it for them.

“Of course,” Tang Yunhang said.

The Tang family treated Gu Man very well, not only because her relationship with Tang Yunfan, but also because she came to City B for the purpose of helping them wake Tang Yunfan up.

Chapter 545: You Mother Looks So Young!

Tang Yunhang helped Gu Ning and Gu Man to carry the suitcases into the house before he left. After that, Gu Ning tidied a room up for Gu Man, which was a little distance from hers with a study and a guest room in the middle.

Gu Ning did it on purpose, because Leng Shaoting was going to visit her in the night. Gu Man’s bedroom was only a little smaller than the master bedroom, and it was also equipped with a walk-in closet.

When Gu Ning was tidying the room up for Gu Man, she sent a message to Leng Shaoting with the location of her house.

Gu Ning: I dare you to come.

At this moment, Leng Shaoting was still in the hotel, staring at the screen of his phone, thinking about why Gu Ning hadn’t contacted him yet. He wasn’t dreaming that he could meet Gu Ning tonight, but at least he could talk with her for a while on the phone! When he saw Gu Ning’s message all of a sudden, Leng Shaoting almost jumped up from the sofa.

Leng Shaoting: Of course I dare.

Gu Ning: I always feel we’re having an affair.

Leng Shaoting: We can tell your mother if you want.

Gu Ning: Forget it. If my mom finds it out, she’ll blame you for seducing her daughter and chase you away from our house, ha-ha.

Leng Shaoting: Ha-ha.

Gu Ning: Wait for a while, and come here a little later, because my mom is still awake.

Leng Shaoting: No problem.

As long as he could see Gu Ning, he didn’t care how late it was.

Outside of the duplex, Cao Wenxin had just driven her bright red Lamborghini back in great anger. When she saw that the lights were on in Gu Ning’s house, Cao Wenxin was surprised, and couldn’t believe her eyes. Gu Ning came to City B? Why didn’t she tell me!

Cao Wenxin stopped her car at once, then walked to Gu Ning’s house with an angry expression. She decided to punish Gu Ning. She went to the door, and rang the doorbell.

“Ningning, who could it be?” Gu Man was confused, because it was very late now.

“Oh, it must be my aunt’s daughter, Cao Wenxin. She lives in the next house, and I think that she must have found out that I’m here when she saw that our lights are on,” Gu Ning said.

She heard the sound of the car just then, and only Cao Wenxin and she lived here, so she bet it had to be Cao Wenxin.

“Oh!” Gu Man followed Gu Ning walking downstairs. Since Cao Wenxin was Tang Yunrong’s daughter, she had to meet her.

Once the door was opened, Cao Wenxin raised her voice in anger. “Gu Ning! Why didn’t you tell me that you came to City B? If I didn’t come back tonight, I wouldn’t have found out…” Before she finished her sentence, she noticed Gu Man in the living room and closed her mouth at once feeling a little embarrassed.

“This is?” Cao Wenxin asked.

“My mother,” Gu Ning said.

“Really? Your mother looks so young!” Cao Wenxin was astonished, because Gu Man looked like a woman around 30.

Women loved hearing compliments so Gu Man was very happy to hear that.

“Well, it’s very nice to meet you!” Cao Wenxin immediately greeted Gu Man politely. Cao Wenxin’s attitude changed very fast, which amused Gu Ning and Gu Man.

“Nice to meet you too!” Gu Man said then invited Cao Wenxin to come in. “Come on in, please!”

Cao Wenxin walked in and asked Gu Man in a hurry, “Would you please tell me how you take care of your skin?”

Although Cao Wenxin behaved like a boy normally, she was a young woman who loved beauty after all.

Gu Man was almost 40, but looked like a woman around 30, and Cao Wenxin also wanted to look much younger than her real age.

“Um, I don’t know actually, because Ningning has helped me a lot.” Gu Man smiled. She only knew that Gu Ning gave her and Gu Qing some nutritious food and told them to eat it regularly.

“Gu Ning, why didn’t you tell me about that! Aren’t we good sisters?” Cao Wenxin criticized Gu Ning

“Well, I’m thinking about sending you some skin-care products which will be on the market soon, and you’ll be the first person to have them. Satisfied?” Gu Ning said.

Cao Wenxin laughed. “Very well! I was just kidding. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Gu Ning rolled her eyes at Cao Wenxin, laughing too.

“Well, let me pour some water for you two,” Gu Man said, walking to the kitchen, but was stopped by Gu Ning. “Mom, don’t bother. She lives just next door, and she can go home to have some water if she’s thirsty.”

“Ningning, how can you be so impolite!” Gu Man was a little displeased.

“Please don’t bother. I did have a lot of water just a while ago so I’m not thirsty now,” Cao Wenxin said.

Since Cao Wenxin said so, Gu Man didn’t insist. She also didn’t want to disturb the two girls chatting, so she went upstairs to organize her clothes.

Once Gu Man was gone, Cao Wenxin questioned Gu Ning, “When did you come here? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Today, but I was very busy during the day, and I just came home so I didn’t have time to tell you yet,” Gu Ning gave Cao Wenxin a perfunctory answer because she knew that Cao Wenxin wasn’t aware of her relationship with the Tang family.

“Fine!” Cao Wenxin understood Gu Ning was always busy, so she accepted Gu Ning’s explanation. “When will you go back to City F then?”

“No idea,” Gu Ning said. Speaking of that, Gu Ning suddenly realized that she hadn’t called her head teacher for a leave yet.

“What? Don’t you need to attend classes?” Cao Wenxin was surprised. She knew that Gu Ning was a busy businesswoman but Gu Ning was still a student too. Most importantly, Gu Ning was going to attend the National College Entrance Exam in a few months!

“I can’t, because I have something important to deal with here. I think I’ll call my principal tomorrow and discuss with him about whether I can be absent till the National College Entrance Exam,” Gu Ning said.

Chapter 546: Do You Feel Nothing for Him?

“What? You’re not going to attend your classes, and you’ll directly attend the entrance examination to college? Are you sure that you can pass it?” Cao Wenxin rounded her eyes in shock. She didn’t expect that Gu Ning would be so bold. “Will your principal agree? Will you be expelled?”

“Don’t worry. As long as I can pass the exam and get a good score nobody will stop me.” Gu Ning was confident that her principal would agree because she was the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry after all. Skilled people were not only those who were good at studying, but also those who could do business well. Therefore, it was impossible that her principal would expel her, who became a billionaire at such a young age.

“Fine, you win.” Seeing Gu Ning being so confident, Cao Wenxin chose to believe her. After all, Gu Ning was very outstanding.

All of a sudden, Cao Wenxin seemed upset, so Gu Ning asked her, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s all because of Xin Bei! When I first met him, I mistook him as a terrible man because I thought that Yu Wenjing was his girlfriend, and I even helped Yu Wenjing. However, I met Yu Wenjing in a shopping mall today and she swore at me when she saw me! She’s so insane, and said that I have a secret romantic relationship with Xin Bei. How is it possible? Xin Bei and I hate each other so much, and we’ll never be close to one another,” Cao Wenxin told Gu Ning everything, like she couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised. “Well, is it true? Are you secretly dating Xin Bei?”

“Of course not! How is it possible!” Cao Wenxin denied it at once. “Her friend just saw me hanging out with Xin Bei at the Lantern Festival so she believes that I’m dating Xin Bei, but we hung out together with our families. We didn’t hang out alone.” Cao Wenxin felt aggrieved

Gu Ning, on the other hand, was greatly surprised. “How come you hung out with Xin Bei at the Lantern Festival?” Gu Ning asked.

Cao Wenxin said, “Didn’t Xin Bei tell us that he was going to visit his uncle when we met him at the airport last time? Can you believe that his uncle is my uncle too! When we spent the Lantern Festival together, my aunt and my mom even wanted to set us up!”

Gu Ning thought for a while. In the beginning, she believed that Cao Wenxin and Xu Jinchen would be a great couple, but it seemed that Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei were more suitable for each other. Although they disliked each other now, it was possible that they had a love-hate relationship. In addition, Tang Yunrong approved of Xin Bei.

“Do you feel nothing for him? Gu Ning asked.

Hearing that, Cao Wenxin panicked a little, then denied at once. “Yes, I feel nothing.”

Gu Ning smiled, but didn’t say another word because she knew that Cao Wenxin was lying. She decided to do something when it was needed to help them.

When it was almost 9 pm, Cao Wenxin went back to her house.

Gu Ning then called her principal. “Hi, I’m so sorry to bother you, sir. This is Gu Ning.”

“Gu Ning?” The principal was surprised to hear from Gu Ning. “May I help?”

“Well, the thing is I’m very busy recently in City B and I’ll be absent from classes a lot, so can I not go to school until the entrance examination to college comes? Please don’t worry. I promise that I will keep studying on my own, and pass the exam with a great test score,” Gu Ning said. Gu Ning was confident that she could easily pass all kinds of exams.

“Sure, no problem!” the principal said with alacrity. “I’ll talk to your headteacher tomorrow, and we’ll inform you three days before the entrance examination to college.” It went more smoothly than Gu Ning had thought.

“Thank you so much!” Gu Ning said.

“My pleasure. Gu Ning, you’re the pride of our school, and other principals from other school are all jealous of me after they heard about your successful business!” the principal said with happiness.

Gu Ning suddenly thought of something, then said, “Sir, if you don’t mind, I’d love to donate five million yuan for redecoration or reconstruction of our school.”

Although the No.3 High School was just a common high school and many buildings were aging, the principal had applied for money to reconstruct and redecorate them. However, his application had been rejected. Since Gu Ning was rich now, she was willing to do something for her alma mater.

“R-really?” The principal was shocked, and couldn’t believe his ears.

“Of course. I’ll send someone to settle it with you tomorrow,” Gu Ning said with a smile.

“Will your parents agree?” the principal asked worriedly. He knew that Gu Ning had made a lot of money, but she was just a student after all.

“My parents are supportive,” Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, the principal relaxed.

“That’ll be great!” The principal was very excited and grateful. “Thank you so much, Gu Ning!”

“My pleasure,” Gu Ning said.

After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, the principal wiped his tears away. His wife, Bai Nianlan, noticed and asked with confusion, “What happened?”

The principal sighed, “Didn’t I tell you that my application for some money to reconstruct and redecorate the aged buildings in the school has been rejected?”

Chapter 547: Do You Need Me to Put a Rope Down?

“So?” Bai Nianlan was still confused and didn’t understand why her husband seemed so excited.

“Well, a student just donated five million yuan to our school for the reconstruction and redecoration,” the principal said, and he had mixed emotions now.

“What? A student? A rich second-generation heir?” Bai Nianlan thought that the student had to be from a rich family.

“Not really, she’s the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry,” the principal said.

Thinking of Gu Ning’s identity, the principal couldn’t help but admire her for her outstanding ability.

“What? It was her?” Bai Nianlan was surprised. She had heard from her husband that the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry was studying in his school, and she also admired Gu Ning. Ever since Bai Nianlan had heard what Gu Ning had achieved at such a young age, she always wished that her children could be as successful as Gu Ning.

Right at that moment, Bai Nianlan’s son came back home after playing basketball with his friends, and he had sweat a lot and had an unpleasant smell, which annoyed Bai Nianlan. Bai Nianlan then began to criticize her son, while her son had no idea why his mother suddenly became so mad at him.

After a while, he finally figured out that his mother thought that he wasn’t outstanding enough after hearing the story of an excellent student in his father’s school. However, he felt aggrieved too. In fact, he wasn’t bad compared with his peers and was also a good student in his school. Even so, he didn’t dare to argue with his mother, but listened to his mother’s endless criticism with patience.

In City B, Gu Man was asleep around 11 pm, so Gu Ning sent a message to Leng Shaoting at once.

The hotel where Leng Shaoting stayed wasn’t far, so he soon arrived at Gu Ning’s house after reading her message. He called Gu Ning when he arrived and went to the side of Gu Ning’s bedroom following Gu Ning’s directions.

When they saw each other, there was a burning desire in their eyes.

“Do you need me to put a rope down there?” Gu Ning joked. She knew that it was easy for Leng Shaoting to climb up three stories.

“No need,” Leng Shaoting said then hung up. Quickly, he had easily climbed up to the third floor with just his hands. When he stood in front of Gu Ning, he clasped her in his arms like he hadn’t seen her in ages.

“Ningning, I missed you,” Leng Shaoting said although they had only been apart for half a day.

“My mom’s bedroom isn’t far away so we need to be quiet,” Gu Ning warned.

“Sure, I’ll hug you while we sleep, and we won’t do anything,” Leng Shaoting said. He knew that Gu Man slept in a nearby bedroom, so he didn’t dare to make noise but he was already satisfied that he was able to hug Gu Ning and fall asleep together tonight. Although they didn’t have sex, they did kiss and touch each other in bed.

The next day, when light first appeared, Leng Shaoting woke up. In case Gu Man would find out, and it was also inconvenient to leave during the day, Leng Shaoting left Gu Ning’s bedroom.

Cao Wenxin called Gu Ning in the early morning, and she wanted to visit Gu Ning. Cao Wenxin felt bored now and would love to have some fun with Gu Ning.

“Um, I’ll call you back later,” Gu Ning said. Cao Wenxin didn’t know what had happened to Tang Yunfan yet, so Gu Ning wasn’t sure whether she could tell Cao Wenxin.

After hanging up the call with Cao Wenxin, Gu Ning called Tang Haifeng at once.

Tang Haifeng didn’t keep it a secret from Cao Wenxin on purpose, but he didn’t want to worry the younger generation. Since Cao Wenxin wanted to spend the day with Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin would find out sooner or later, Tang Haifeng agreed. Therefore, Gu Ning called Cao Wenxin back and told her that they would go to the Tang Family’s house later.

Hearing that, Cao Wenxin got up at once.

It was already 7:30 am but Cao Wenxin was still lying in bed. Although she had a habit of running in the morning, she would sometimes be lazy, especially when the weather was cold. And although it was already spring, it was still cold outside.

Cao Wenxin came to Gu Ning’s house around 8 am, and the breakfast was ready on the table.

Seeing Gu Man, Cao Wenxin greeted her politely.

“Do you want to drive your car, or drive with me?” Gu Ning asked Cao Wenxin during breakfast.

“I’ll drive with you,” Cao Wenxin said. She was determined to spend the whole day with Gu Ning

After breakfast, the three of them left the house. However, when Gu Man saw Gu Ning’s car, she was astonished, because she recognized that the car was a Lamborghini, which was very luxurious.

“Ningning, how must is your car?” Gu Man took a long breath in before she asked.

“Aunt Tang sent it to me, and it costs over ten million yuan,” Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Gu Man was shocked. “They-they’re too generous!”

Gu Ning received the luxurious car as a gift when the Tang Family didn’t know that she actually was Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter, so it was enough to prove that the Tang Family was really generous.

“The gifts Ningning sent us are also very valuable. A luxurious car is merely nothing,” Cao Wenxin said.

Hearing that, Gu Man relaxed a little.

After that, they got in the car, driving away from the duplex.

When Gu Ning and the others left the house, it was 8:30 am, so there wasn’t much traffic on the roads.

Not far behind Gu Ning’s car was another luxurious car, and the people sitting in it started to discuss Gu Ning’s white Lamborghini.

Chapter 548: Cao Wenxin Learns the Truth

“Isn’t that the latest model of Lamborghini? I heard that there are only 40 of them around the world! I wanted to buy one, but it wasn’t available,” a man said in a jealous tone. The man was Pan Zirui.

There were another two men in the luxurious car. One was Guan Bin, while the other was a stranger.

“Let’s catch it up to see who the driver is!” Guan Bin proposed with curiosity. The driver must either be rich or powerful.

“No problem!

Pan Zirui was curious too, so he sped up at once. However, when he saw who the driver of the white Lamborghini was, he slammed on the brakes in shock and couldn’t believe his eyes. The driver was Gu Ning!

Pan Zirui suddenly stopped his car, and almost caused a rear-end collision.

“Hey, do you know how to drive or not!” A driver who drove behind them swore in anger.

Luckily, nobody was injured, so the driver drove his car away after swearing.

Gu Ning and the others were also slightly scared.

“It was so dangerous!” Gu Man said.

“Exactly! It almost caused a rear-end collision,” Cao Wenxin said.

Although Gu Ning didn’t know who that luxurious car belonged to, she saw Pan Zirui in the driver’s seat from the rear-view mirror, and she believed that Pan Zirui must have been shocked to see her driving this white Lamborghini.

Guan Bin was also scared in Pan Zirui’s car. “Zirui, why did you suddenly slam on the brakes? Don’t you know that it was very dangerous?”

“The driver is my boss!” Pan Zirui said with excitement.

“Boss, what boss?” Pan Zirui’s friend was curious.

Guan Bin, on the other hand, said with great surprise, “What? The driver is Miss Gu?” Guan Bin sat in the rear seats so he didn’t see the driver of the white Lamborghini clearly.

“Miss Gu? Zirui’s boss is a woman?” Pan Zirui’s friend was astonished and couldn’t believe his ears, because they all knew that Pan Zirui despised women a lot.

“Miss Gu is different, and we all admire her. When Zhao Kanglin revenged himself on us and almost beat us to death, it was Miss Gu who came to rescue us. You weren’t there so you didn’t know how cool Miss Gu was when she alone, beat four men down within seconds. In addition, Miss Gu is Tang Jiakai’s younger sister. I think that they have to be relatives,” Guan Bin was getting increasingly excited. In the beginning, he despised Gu Ning, but he started to respect her after the horse racing. When Gu Ning came to rescue them, he already admired her.

“Really?” Pan Zirui’s friend was greatly surprised, because he had never heard that any woman could be so awesome.

“Of course!” Pan Zirui said.

“Is Tang Jiakai from the top Tang family of City B?” Pan Zirui’s friend asked and a touch of viciousness flashed by his eyes.

“Yes! Exactly because of Miss Gu, I even shared a meal with Tang Jiakai at the same table!” Guan Bin said and felt honored. There was an abyss between him and Tang Jiakai, so he wasn’t jealous of Tang Jiakai, but just wanted to please Tang Jiakai.

“Zirui, since Miss Gu is your boss, why don’t we have a gathering tonight?” Pan Zirui’s friend said.

“Let me call her later, and see whether she’s free tonight.” Pan Zirui also wanted to meet Gu Ning.

When Gu Ning and the others arrived at the Tang Family’s house, Cao Wenxin finally learned that Tang Yunfan had been in a car accident and had been unconscious for nearly five days. At the same time, she also found out that Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter, which was the reason why they closely resembled each other.

The news surprised Cao Wenxin, and she also felt excited. If Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter, then Gu Ning would be her biological cousin too! Fate was really unbelievable. However, she was worried about Tang Yunfan’s condition too.

When Gu Man went upstairs to talk to Tang Yunfan, Gu Ning received Pan Zirui’s call.

“Boss, why didn’t you tell me that you came to City B?” Pan Zirui complained.

“I came here to deal with something serious,” Gu Ning said.

“When will you be free? Can we have a gathering tonight?” Pan Zirui asked.

“I’m afraid that I can’t. I’ll call you when I’m free,” Gu Ning said.

“Fine,” Pan Zirui said.

Once Pan Zirui hung up the call, his friend asked him whether Gu Ning was free tonight.

“She doesn’t have time tonight, but she’ll call me when she’s free,” Pan Zirui said.

Pan Zirui’s friend, on the other hand, felt greatly disappointed but he couldn’t do anything about it.

Leng Shaoting wasn’t a boss who did nothing. Although he had hired skilled managers to run Shengshi Group for him and he seldom interfered in the business or checked the finances, he still needed to keep abreast of the development of his business group.

The headquarters of Shengshi Group was located in the capital and it had many branches in every big city.

Shengshi Group wasn’t established by Leng Shaoting, but was actually his grandpa’s property. When Leng Shaoting’s mother passed away, Leng Shaoting became the sole beneficiary of his grandpa’s legacy.

When Leng Shaoting took over Shengshi Group, it wasn’t on the list of the top 20 enterprises. However, within five years, Shengshi Group rose and developed at a fast rate under Leng Shaoting’s leadership, and surpassed one enterprise after another until it became a legend.

The rapid rise of a company naturally would attract peers’ attention, and many of them had schemed against Shengshi Group in business, trying to defeat it.

In the beginning, it had been very hard for Leng Shaoting to handle the challenges, but his business opponents started to give up when Leng Shaoting and Shengshi Group became extremely successful over a short period of time.

Shengshi Group and Tanghuang Group were two well-known dominant enterprises, and they often cooperated with each other. Neither Leng Shaoting, nor Tang Yunfan would bother to scheme against their business opponents, so they were able to build their business very well.

Chapter 549: CEO’s Office

However, if anyone dared scheme against them behind their backs, they wouldn’t hesitate to take action.

Interestingly, Tang Yunfan didn’t know that the real boss of Shengshi Group was Leng Shaoting, and vice versa. And from now on, given their relationships with Gu Ning, Shengshi Group and Tanghuang Group would cooperate with one another in a more harmonious way. They would compromise for the sake of Gu Ning and wouldn’t hurt each other’s benefits.

Shengshi Group was located in a place near the downtown. It was a 32-story tall building, which covered over a thousand square-meters.

He Qiming was the president of Shengshi Group’s City B branch. He was around 40-years-old, and was a diligent man who was also part of the legacy left by Leng Shaoting’s grandfather.

The majority of the experienced managers Leng Shaoting had hired to work for him were all loyal people. The fact that Shengshi Group could be so successful today partially relied on them.

Once Leng Shaoting entered the hall of Shengshi Group, he attracted a lot of attention from people around him, especially the young girls at the reception desk.

“Wow, Mr. Leng came here today! He’s as handsome as always!”

“Indeed! It’s so rare to see him here.”

The young girls who worked at the reception desk all knew Leng Shaoting, because he had been here before, and He Qiming also told them not to stop Leng Shaoting whenever he came here. Of course, He Qiming didn’t tell them Leng Shaoting’s real identity, so they thought that Leng Shaoting must be his friend.

However, when Leng Shaoting walked forward to get in the elevator, a group of people had just walked out of one, and the person leading them was a beautiful, young, professional woman. When she saw Leng Shaoting, she was stunned by him at first glance. She didn’t strike up a conversation with Leng Shaoting in public, but remembered his face and made up her mind to have a meeting with him.

Leng Shaoting ignored them, directly walking to the CEO exclusive elevator. When the woman saw Leng Shaoting walking into that elevator, her eyes lit up.

“Go find out who he is.” The woman gave an order to her secretary when Leng Shaoting walked into the CEO exclusive elevator.

“Yes, madam,” her secretary said.

After a while, Leng Shaoting arrived at the CEO’s office on the 32nd floor.

Before Leng Shaoting came here, he told He Qiming not to welcome him in order to protect his real identity. The minute Leng Shaoting walked inside, He Qiming greeted him with great respect. “Welcome, Lord Leng.”

“Hi,” Leng Shaoting said lightly then sat on the sofa. He Qiming’s secretary immediately poured a cup of tea for Leng Shaoting before she walked out.

He Qiming then reported to Leng Shaoting on the recent development of the company, but Leng Shaoting didn’t need to deal with the business himself. In fact, Leng Shaoting wasn’t good at doing business, but he was excellent at choosing the right people to do the right thing

When the company needed a final decision when facing a difficulty, Leng Shaoting would. of course, be the final decision-maker.

Gu Ning was still absent from her school next week.

Zhang Qiuhua didn’t know why because Gu Ning hadn’t told her that she would be absent for so long

During the recess, the principal told Zhang Qiuhua that Gu Ning wouldn’t attend the following classes, which shocked Zhang Qiuhua. “What? She won’t attend the rest of the classes, and will only come on the days of the National College Entrance Examination? You agreed?”

“Yes!” the principal said. He didn’t think that it was a bad idea.

“The entrance examination to college is just around the corner!” Zhang Qiuhua felt helpless.

“She promised to keep studying on her own, and that she’ll pass the exam with a good score. Don’t worry,” the principal said.

Even so, Zhang Qiuhua still thought that the idea was crazy. However, the principal had agreed, and she couldn’t change his decision.

Yu Mixi and the others also knew that Gu Ning was busy and wouldn’t attend the rest of the classes, so they didn’t call her in order to not disturb her. Once in a while, Gu Ning would chat with them in their WeChat group.

In the Tang family’s house, Gu Man spoke to Tang Yunfan in the room as usual, while Gu Ning stayed in the living hall.

Today was Monday, so Tang Yunhang and the others went to work while Tang Haifeng, Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning stayed at home.

Before long, Quan Mingkai came and followed Tang Haifeng walking to the study to discuss business with him.

“Master Tang, Tang Deming frequently visits Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan these days. I think that he wants to win their approval,” Quan Mingkai said.

Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan were the two directors who had abstained in the vote for a new chairman of Tanghuang Group.

“How has Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan reacted to that?” Tang Haifeng asked.

“I don’t see any differences from their usual behaviors, but nobody knows what they’re doing privately,” Quan Mingkai said.

Even though there was no apparent change in their relationship with Tang Deming, nobody knew what they were doing in private. Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan had done a lot for the company, and had never hurt the benefits of the company, but Tang Haifeng still had to be careful.

“Master Tang, I have the feeling that there is someone supporting Tang Deming from behind the scene, but I don’t know who the person is yet. From Tang Deming’s call records, I don’t find any suspects, however, it’s also possible that they use secret phone numbers to contact each other,” Quan Mingkai said.

Although the Tanghuang Group was very powerful, they still couldn’t find out everything they wanted to know.

“Keeping a close eye on them,” Tang Haifeng said.

“Yes, sir,” Quan Mingkai said.

After that, they talked about something else for a while before walking out of the study.

“Miss Gu, your store can be completed today, and it’ll be fully cleaned tomorrow. Please let me know when you finish your work. Lord Tang has told me to cooperate with you in propaganda and endorsement,” Quan Mingkai said to Gu Ning.

Chapter 550: The Spokesperson of Jade Beauty Jewelry

“Thanks, Mr. Quan. I’ll call you once I finish my work here,” Gu Ning said. She did need the support of Tanghuang Group concerning publicity.

“You don’t need to call me Mr. Quan. We’re not strangers after all, so you can directly call me Uncle Quan,” Quan Mingkai said. Although he had just met Gu Ning a few times, Gu Ning was already a member of the Tang Family anyway.

“Uncle Quan,” Gu Ning called him. “Please don’t me Miss Gu anymore, and you can directly call my full name.”

“Sure, Gu Ning,” Quan Mingkai said. Quan Mingkai still had something else to deal with, so he left later.

All of a sudden, Gu Ning had a very busy schedule in the following days.

The jewelry store in City B was about to open within a week, and the opening ceremony would be held in the Huangdeng Hotel, which was super easy for her to settle. However, she had to go back to City G in person before that. They needed to deliver a large amount of jade jewelry, and it wouldn’t be safe enough if Zhou Zhenghong did that job all on his own. In addition, she had to set up a processing plant in City B so that she wouldn’t need to deliver jade jewelry from City G in the future.

After the meal, she also needed to check the gowns for the opening ceremony. Although she trusted Yu Zi, she had to check them in person too.

As for the models, she could hire some from the entertainment company under the name of Tanghuang Group. For now, Gu Ning hadn’t made the final decision as to the spokesperson of Jade Beauty Jewelry, because it was very important and the spokesperson would endorse her brand for at least a whole year. Therefore, Gu Ning’s first choice was Su Tongnuo because Su Tongnuo worked for her and she knew that Su Tongnuo was a professional actress with a good reputation.

Maybe Su Tongnuo wasn’t very famous in the eyes of the public, and she didn’t have a strong influence, but Gu Ning wasn’t worried at all. Since Su Tongnuo worked for her, she would make her popular. Moreover, Su Tongnuo was also a potential A-list actress, so Gu Ning was confident that she would be a great choice.

As long as the advertisement was released, Su Tongnuo could soon be a household name with the help of K.

Other than that, Gu Ning also needed to go fetch Chu Peihan and the others in City D as well, because their parts in the film were almost over.

The drugs and skincare products were also done in the factory of Colaine Pharmaceutical Company, and they would be tested in a few days. After the test, they could come onto the market. However, Ning Changkai’s business enemies would stop him from passing the test without a doubt, so Gu Ning had to go to the capital in a few days.

Chen Cangyi’s legs were fully recovered too, and he was able to work now so Gu Ning had to make some arrangements for him.

“Ningning, who will you choose to be the spokesperson of your jewelry brand?” Cao Wenxin asked with curiosity.

“Su Tongnuo,” Gu Ning said.

“What?” Cao Wenxin was surprised. “Don’t you think that her influence isn’t strong enough? Why don’t you use an A-list celebrity?”

Although Su Tongnuo was a friend of Cao Wenxin’s friend, it was undeniable that Su Tongnuo wasn’t famous enough to be the spokesperson of a well-known luxurious jewelry brand.

Hearing their talk, Tang Haifeng added, “I think Wenxin is right. There are a few actors working for an entertainment company which is controlled by our family. I think you can choose the spokesperson from them.”

Gu Ning wore a grateful smile. “Thank you for your advice grandpa, but I still want to give this chance to the actress who works for my entertainment company.”

If she wasn’t going to do that, the actresses who worked for her would never have a chance to be popular.

“What? The actress works for you? You’re involved in the entertainment industry?” Tang Haifeng was astonished.

“Yes,” Gu Ning said, but didn’t explain the reason.

Tang Haifeng wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. In fact, what could he say now? Gu Ning became a billionaire at such a young age all on her own, and had proved that she was able to run her business very well. Therefore, Tang Haifeng didn’t have the right to stop Gu Ning from building her business empire.

It was just a beginning as well, because Gu Ning had just started up her business, and she wasn’t a major competitor in the industries that she was involved in yet. Once she became a strong competitor, and began to grab resources from her peers, she would be in a fierce war in business.

“Girl Gu, if you need anything, feel free to tell me, alright?” Tang Haifeng said. He was more than willing to support his lovely granddaughter.

“Sure, grandpa,” Gu Ning said.

In politics, you might achieve something all on your own but it didn’t work like that in business. No matter how smart or skillful you were, you still needed to closely cooperate with others. Without a powerful network, it was impossible to be successful in business.

Gu Man talked to Tang Yunfan for another two hours, but Tang Yunfan still had no reaction, which worried everyone.

After lunch, Gu Ning had to leave the Tang Family’s house, but she was worried that Gu Man would feel uneasy staying alone here. However, Gu Man told her that everyone in the Tang Family were easy-going, and Gu Man was accustomed to the new environment.

Gu Ning went out to deal with some business as well as some personal affairs, so she couldn’t bring Cao Wenxin with her. Although Cao Wenxin complained about it, she didn’t insist.

Once Gu Ning drove away from the Tang Family’s house, she called Yu Zi. She planned to check on the gowns first.

Yu Zi was in her shop, so Gu Ning would go to her shop to meet her after she met Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting was sharing the meal with He Qiming in the hotel, so Gu Ning directly went to the hotel to pick him up.

Although there were many luxurious cars stopped outside of the hotel, Gu Ning’s limited edition Lamborghini was still very noticeable. Once she stopped it outside of the hotel, it attracted a lot of attention from people around it.

“Wow, isn’t that the latest model of Lamborghini? There are only 40 of them around the world!”

“Indeed! It looks so cool!”
