Chapter 1051 The Person Is Leng Shaoting

"Gu Ning, Gu Ning, no wonder I felt this name sounded familiar! You're the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry, Xiangyun Antique-store, Colaine, Kouzi, and Fenghua Entertainment!" Leng Shaoxun said with great surprise.

Jiang Ruining was also amazed after knowing Gu Ning's companies.

They weren't aware of the news about Gu Ning on the Internet yet, or they would have been more shocked.

"Yes, I own all of them. General Peng, maybe you don't know much about them, but you can ask Secretary Luo whether I'm good at running businesses," Gu Ning said with confidence.

Peng Yunlong turned to look at Luo Zhanhua at once, and Luo Zhanhua said to Gu Ning, "You're a genius in business!"

"A genius in business?" Peng Yunlong took a long breath in. It was a very high compliment, especially from Luo Zhanhua.

Afterwards, Luo Zhanhua told Peng Yunlong some details about those companies, and Peng Yunlong was stunned. Gu Ning was indeed a genius in business!

"Did you establish all of them on your own?" Peng Yunlong found it hard to believe.

Gu Ning didn't feel displeased facing Peng Yunlong's doubt, because she knew that she was too young to be so successful.

"Yes," Gu Ning said with certainty. "Although I simply made some investments and established them with my powerful connections too, I'm confident that they're very profitable."

It wasn't shameful that she had gained help from others to build her companies.

Peng Yunlong was stunned, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Gu Ning's phone rang again, and Leng Shaoting told her that he was in the teahouse now.

Gu Ning then told Leng Shaoting the number of the private room they were in.

"Who is the person?" Peng Yunlong asked with curiosity.

"My boyfriend," Gu Ning said with a happy smile.

"Why do you need your boyfriend's permission to make the decision?" Peng Yunlong asked again.

Peng Yunlong was reluctant to give up, and tried to persuade Gu Ning to join the army again.

"Um, we're going to get married in the future, so his opinion matters to me," Gu Ning said.

Peng Yunlong was surprised once more.

Before long, someone knocked on the door, and Peng Yunlong said, "Come on in."

Hearing his voice, Leng Shaoting was surprised because he recognized the voice.

Why is Ningning with him?

If he hadn't clearly remembered the number of the private room Gu Ning was in, he would have doubted whether he knocked on the wrong door.

With a light sound, the door was pushed open and Leng Shaoting appeared in their sight.

"Shaoting?"

Leng Shaoxun stood up in shock, so did Jiang Ruining. They were astonished to find that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning's boyfriend.

Peng Yunlong and Luo Zhanhua were also greatly surprised, but soon realized that Gu Ning's boyfriend was Leng Shaoting.

In that case, Gu Ning was going to marry Leng Shaoting in the future.

It was a piece of shocking news.

The second Leng Shaoting saw Peng Yunlong, he saluted and greeted him with respect. "Nice to see you, General Peng!"

After that, he turned to greet Luo Zhanhua. "Nice to see you, Secretary Luo."

"Come on and have a seat!" Peng Yunlong said. Although Peng Yunlong held a higher position than Leng Shaoting in the army, he was very easy-going.

In fact, Leng Shaoting was better than him as to their ability. Because Leng Shaoting was too young, he just made it to major general, otherwise he could have become the youngest lieutenant general in the history according to his achievements!

Most importantly, Leng Shaoting had made all of his achievements on his own, instead of relying on his family background.

Leng Shaoting then went to sit by Gu Ning.

Seeing that, Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining rounded their eyes in shock.

Jesus, Gu Ning is Shaoting's girlfriend!

Leng Shaoxun was more shocked than anyone else in the room, because Master Leng always complimented Leng Shaoting's girlfriend in front of them.

Now he finally realized why his grandfather liked Gu Ning so much.

"Gu Ning, you're going to be my cousin-in-law!" Leng Shaoxun said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting gave him a glance, and Leng Shaoxun felt a little scared, but he didn't think that he said anything wrong. He was like a rat in front of a cat now.

"Why are you here too?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"I invited Gu Ning to share tea here, then ran into Uncle Peng and Uncle Luo," Leng Shaoxun replied.

"When did you meet each other?" Leng Shaoting asked again.

"Just a while ago, Ruining and I were waiting for Cousin Zhaolin under a building, but a heavy iron box suddenly fell, and Gu Ning pushed our car away beforehand, so we were able to survive. In order to thank her, we came here to enjoy tea together," Leng Shaoxun said.

Thinking of the accident, Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining were still frightened.

Chapter 1052 I Don"t Agree

Leng Shaoting nodded, but said nothing further, because he knew Gu Ning's ability very well.

Peng Yunlong, however, was surprised by Gu Ning's brave behavior. A car weighed a lot, and it wasn't easy to push it away after all.

"Shaoting, there is something General Peng wants to talk with you about," Gu Ning said all of a sudden.

Leng Shaoting looked at Peng Yunlong with a serious face at once. "General Peng, what can I do for you?"

Although Peng Yunlong was aware that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning's boyfriend now, he was still unwilling to give it up, so he said, "Well, the thing is that I think Gu Ning is a rarely found girl, and I hope she can join the army to serve our country. What do you think?"

Peng Yunlong didn't tell Leng Shaoting that Gu Ning had actually turned him down. He hoped that Leng Shaoting might agree and that Gu Ning might listen to Leng Shaoting.

However, Leng Shaoting remembered his parents' death the moment he heard that, and he didn't want Gu Ning to join the army, especially the special forces. He was reluctant to see Gu Ning be in great danger.

If Gu Ning was willing to do it herself, he wouldn't stop her even if he disagreed. If Gu Ning was unwilling to do it, he would support her staying away from danger.

"General Peng talked that with me, and I rejected it, but General Peng insisted, so I used you as an excuse," Gu Ning said before Leng Shaoting asked her.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting felt relieved. "General Peng, I'm sorry. I don't agree."

"Fine, I won't mention it again." Peng Yunlong was disappointed. He couldn't force Leng Shaoting to do what he wanted.

"By the way, your girlfriend is really outstanding," Peng Yunlong added.

Leng Shaoting smiled and said, "Thank you, General Peng."

It wasn't easy for others to see Leng Shaoting smiling.

After a while, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning excused themselves, and Leng Shaoxun along with Jiang Ruining also left the teahouse.

"Shaoting, where are you going next?" Leng Shaoxun asked once they were outside.

"To deal with something," Leng Shaoting said.

Leng Shaoxun didn't tell him details, so Leng Shaoxun stopped asking about it. "Will you go home today?"

"I'll see," Leng Shaoting said.

"Fine." Leng Shaoxun closed his mouth.

After that, Leng Shaoting walked away with Gu Ning.

"Give me the car key," Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning when they were in the parking lot.

Gu Ning took out the car key and gave it to him. Leng Shaoting opened the car door of the front passenger's seat for Gu Ning, and he didn't go to sit in the driver's seat until Gu Ning was seated well.

Seeing that, Leng Shaoxun and Jiang Ruining had to admit that Leng Shaoting had changed a lot ever since he was in love.

…

"Are you busy this afternoon?" Leng Shaoting started the car and asked Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood that Master Leng wanted to meet her in the Leng family's house.

She smiled. "Nope."

"My grandpa wants to see you," Leng Shaoting said.

"Sure," Gu Ning said.

"Why don't we go visit him this afternoon?" Leng Shaoting asked again. In fact, he was looking forward to bringing Gu Ning back home to have a formal meeting with his grandfather.

"No problem." Gu Ning nodded.

She understood that Leng Shaoting ached to let her meet his grandfather, but she had told him to wait until she studied in the university.

Leng Shaoting beamed with happiness. "Let's go to my house now, and we can go there a while later."

He just came back, and wanted to take a shower before they went to the Leng family's house.

"Sure," Gu Ning said.

"Oh, Shaoxun just said that you saved his life. Thanks," Leng Shaoting said.

"You don't need to say that to me!" Gu Ning was amused.

"I should because of what a great thing you've done," Leng Shaoting said.

Gu Ning beamed and dropped the topic.

…

Once Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were gone, Leng Shaoxun called Master Leng, and told him what he had been through today.

Master Leng laughed and liked Gu Ning more.

"Oh, when we were at the Tangyun Teahouse just then, Gu Ning had a fighting competition against General Peng. No one won, and General Peng tried to persuade Gu Ning to join the army…"

"What?" Master Leng interrupted him.

Even though Gu Ning was unusually outstanding, Master Leng was unwilling to send her to join the army.

Chapter 1053 Master Leng"s Gift for the First Formal Meeting

"Relax, grandpa, Gu Ning didn't agree, nor did Shaoting, so General Peng gave up," Leng Shaoxun said.

Hearing that, Master Leng was relieved.

Since Peng Yunlong already gave the idea up, he wouldn't bother to talk to him in person about it.

…

Once Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were in the house, Leng Shaoting pressed her against the wall and kissed her with great passion.

He hadn't seen Gu Ning for days, and missed her so much.

"Ningning, I missed you." Leng Shaoting's husky voice sounded by Gu Ning's ears.

"Shaoting, I missed you too," Gu Ning said.

At this moment, the video of the fighting competition between Gu Ning and Peng Yunlong was uploaded to the Internet, and went viral.

Although the person who uploaded the video didn't know them, some people recognized their faces.

The girl was the famous Goddess Gu, while the man was General Peng.

Peng Yunlong sometimes showed up on TV, so his face wasn't strange to many people.

Everyone was shocked that Gu Ning was able to make friends with Peng Yunlong, who was the general officer in the general military region of the capital.

It was obvious that they weren't strangers.

At the end of the video, Peng Yunlong talked with Gu Ning in a relaxed manner, and people realized that they hadn't really fought against each other, but just did it for fun.

Therefore, everyone thought that Gu Ning might be a friend of Peng Yunlong's.

"Goddess Gu is so unbelievable! She can even make friends with General Peng."

"She didn't lose the fighting competition with General Peng either!"

…

It was almost 5 pm after Leng Shaoting took a shower and put on new clothes, and they left for the Leng family's house.

Gu Ning wanted to prepare some gifts for the Leng family members before they went to visit them, since it was their first formal meeting.

Leng Shaoting had told her that he only cared about his grandfather, but Gu Ning should still obey the etiquette as Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. If she didn't bring gifts, the members of the Leng family might have a bad impression of her.

Leng Shaoting agreed with it in the end.

Actually, he had also prepared some good tea and drinks as gifts.

Gu Ning planned to buy something more herself, but Leng Shaoting said tea and drinks were enough, so Gu Ning gave the idea up.

Gu Ning had met Master Leng before, so she wasn't nervous this time.

…

When they arrived at the Leng family's house, it was 5:30 pm, and the kitchen was busy preparing dinner at the same time. Leng Yuanzhen, Leng Yuanqian and his wife were still at work now, so the dinner wouldn't begin very soon.

Only Master Leng and Leng Shaoxun were in the Leng family's house now.

Master Leng kept chatting with Gu Ning once she showed up, and ignored Leng Shaoting.

"Girl Gu, you don't need to bring so many gifts!" Master Leng said, because he already accepted Gu Ning as a member of his family. In addition, Gu Ning had sent him many priceless gifts before.

He didn't want her to spend too much money on gifts.

"Well, it's our first formal meeting, and I should bring some gifts, or the others might think that I'm impolite," Gu Ning said.

Master Leng laughed. "Alright, but don't do it again the next time."

"I won't," Gu Ning said.

After that, Master Leng took out a small and delicate box and handed it to Gu Ning. "Girl Gu, this is a little gift to you. It's not as valuable as those gifts you've sent me. Please don't be disappointed."

"Of course I'm not! I love it, and thank you so much, grandpa," Gu Ning said.

She took the box with a broad smile on her face. It was Master Leng's gift to her at their first formal meeting, so there was no reason for her not to accept it.

Moreover, she had sent Master Leng many gifts before, and there was nothing wrong for her to accept a gift from him now.

Master Leng also beamed when Gu Ning said that she loved his gift.

He was happy to see Gu Ning accept it.

Gu Ning opened the small box, and there was a white jade bracelet inside. Although it looked ancient, it was covered in dense magical power.

"This is a family heirloom from the older generation of the Leng family, and it belonged to Shaoting's grandmother. Although it's not very expensive, it's meaningful, so I'm giving it to you today, and I wish you and Shaoting a happy ending," Master Leng said. This jade bracelet reminded him of his deceased wife.

"Grandpa, I promise I'll take good care of it, and live a happy life with Shaoting," Gu Ning said.

"Great, great." Hearing that, Master Leng almost cried.

…

Leng Shaoxi came home from her school at 6 pm. She greeted Master Leng and Leng Shaoting when she saw them.

However, when Leng Shaoxi's sight fell on Gu Ning, her eyes lit up at once. "A-Are you Goddess Gu?"

Leng Shaoxi recognized Gu Ning, because she was Gu Ning's fan too.

Leng Shaoxun was confused, and asked, "Goddess Gu? Do you mean Gu Ning?"

He hadn't read much news about Gu Ning on the Internet, so he didn't understand what Leng Shaoxi was talking about.

Chapter 1054 Mind Your Manners!

Gu Ning was very stunning, so it was totally understandable that people called her Goddess Gu, but Leng Shaoxun was very curious why Leng Shaoxi called Gu Ning the same way.

Leng Shaoxi, however, ignored Leng Shaoxun's question, because she was too excited now. She loved surfing on the Internet, so had learned a lot about Gu Ning.

Gu Ning stood up and smiled at her. "Are you Shaoxun's younger sister, Shaoxi?"

There were only two granddaughters in the Leng family. One was Leng Shaojia that she had met before, while the other one must be Leng Shaoxi.

"Yeah, I am!" Leng Shaoxi ran towards Gu Ning at once. "Goddess Gu, what are you doing here?"

"Gu Ning is Shaoting's girlfriend," Leng Shaoxun said.

"Seriously?" Leng Shaoxi was shocked. "OMG, you're my cousin-in-law! I'm so thrilled now!"

Seeing her reaction, Gu Ning was amused and had a good impression of her.

Although Leng Shaoting wasn't close to Leng Yuanzhen's family, he didn't hate them either, so Gu Ning wouldn't stay aloof from them.

However, as for the other members in the Leng family, Gu Ning thought that she better keep a distance from them.

"Shaoxi, how did you manage to know Gu Ning?" Leng Shaoxun asked with curiosity.

"On the Internet! She's the most popular girl recently. Why don't you search her name yourself?" Leng Shaoxi said with impatience.

Leng Shaoxun took out his phone at once.

After reading the news about Gu Ning, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Gu Ning was far more outstanding than he thought.

"Gu Ning, I'm short of words now," Leng Shaoxun said.

Gu Ning smiled, but said nothing.

At this moment, Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin came home. They were surprised when they saw Gu Ning.

"Hi, let me introduce you, this is Shaoting's girlfriend, Gu Ning," Master Leng said. "This is your Uncle Yuanzhen and your Aunt Yin."

Since Master Leng already accepted Gu Ning as his grand daughter-in-law, he hoped that she could get familiar with all the members of the Leng family as soon as possible.

Gu Ning stood up without delay, and greeted them politely. "It's very nice to meet you, Uncle Yuanzhen and Aunt Yin."

Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin were amazed by Gu Ning's beauty when they saw her face.

"Nice to meet you," they said.

A few minutes later, Leng Yuanqian and Jiang Shuyuan were also home.

Before they asked anything, Master Leng opened his mouth again, but sounded colder this time. "This is Shaoting's girlfriend, Gu Ning."

Afterwards, he turned to Gu Ning. "This is your Uncle Yuanqian and Aunt Shuyuan."

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Yuanqian and Aunt Shuyuan," Gu Ning greeted them politely too.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Gu," Leng Yuanqian said, but Jiang Shuyuan remained silent with obvious disdain on her face.

Seeing that, Master Leng was annoyed at once, and gave Jiang Shuyuan a cold glance.

Jiang Shuyuan panicked a little, but still refused to greet Gu Ning.

"Where is Shaojia? Will she dine with us? If not, we'll dine first," Master Leng said.

Leng Shaojia had graduated for a long time, but she was still jobless and played around all day long. And although the Leng family was affluent, nobody liked a good-for-nothing.

In fact, Leng Shaojia put all her attention into clothing design now, which was her major, but she hadn't achieved anything yet.

Jiang Shuyuan was dissatisfied with Master Leng's attitude towards Leng Shaojia, but didn't dare complain.

"Dad, Shaojia will be home in five minutes," Jiang Shuyuan said after hanging up the call with Leng Shaojia.

"Fine, we can wait for her for five minutes. If she doesn't show up within five minutes, we'll enjoy the dinner before her," Master Leng said, then apologized to Gu Ning. "Girl Gu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's fine, grandpa," Gu Ning said with a smile.

Jiang Shuyuan felt displeased that Master Leng was so kind and gentle to Gu Ning.

Leng Shaojia was Master Leng's granddaughter, but Master Leng had never been so gentle to her.

About four minutes later, Leng Shaojia showed up, but she clenched her teeth in anger the second she saw Gu Ning. "Why are you here?"

Her rude attitude annoyed both Leng Shaoting and Master Leng. It was obvious that they had a conflict.

"Gu Ning is Shaoting's girlfriend, and she's here to share dinner with us," Leng Shaoxun said and defended Gu Ning.

"She's Leng Shaoting's girlfriend?" Leng Shaojia was surprised, then looked at Gu Ning with stronger hatred.

"Shaojia, what happened?" Jiang Shuyuan asked, and she sided with Leng Shaojia without doubt.

"She grabbed our seats away at a restaurant last time!" Leng Shaojia played the blame game.

"What? She's so rude!" Jiang Shuyuan raised her voice on purpose.

"Shut up and mind your manners!" Master Leng snapped at them.

Chapter 1055 I"m Sorry

"It's the truth!" Jiang Shuyuan argued back, but in a low voice.

Although she wasn't loud, everyone still heard it clearly, and Master Leng was displeased again. Leng Yuanqian also snapped at her, "Mind your language!"

Jiang Shuyuan felt aggrieved, but didn't dare say another word.

"Miss Leng, you should be responsible for what you just said. There are surveillance cameras in the restaurant and we can easily find out who stole whose seats." Gu Ning wasn't mad, but she refused to submit to unreasonable blame.

"You…" Leng Shaojia was struck dumb for a second, and panicked.

Seeing her reaction, Master Leng, Leng Shaoting, Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi were all mad. Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin also frowned.

Leng Yuanqian was annoyed too, because Leng Shaojia's behavior embarrassed him in front of Master Leng.

Even though Leng Shaojia couldn't prove that she was innocent, she was unwilling to give up picking on Gu Ning. "Well, since you're Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, why did you stay out late with Jiang Ruiqin that night? Do you regard Jiang Ruiqin as a B-plan? How can…"

"Enough!" Master Leng couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Leng Shaojia.

He understood that Gu Ning had many friends, and it was very normal for people to have heterosexual friends after all. In addition, Gu Ning was a businesswoman, and she needed to socialize with different people, especially those who could help her.

Jiang Ruiqin was a member of a powerful family, so it was a good thing that Gu Ning could make friends with him.

"Miss Leng, don't you have male friends? Do you always become entangled with your male friends in a romantic relationship?" Gu Ning asked and mocked Leng Shaojia.

"Bullshit! I'm not that shameless!" Leng Shaojia raised her voice in anger.

"Then how come you're sure that I'm shameless?" Gu Ning stared straight at Leng Shaojia.

"You…" Leng Shaojia didn't know what to say, because she simply disliked Gu Ning.

At the same time, she also felt great pressure from Gu Ning and got angry because of the humiliation.

"Not everyone behaves like you, Leng Shaojia!" Leng Shaoxun interrupted them, and defended Gu Ning.

"It's none of your business!" Leng Shaojia vented her anger at Leng Shaoxun.

"You know I'm telling the truth," Leng Shaoxun said. He was aware that Leng Shaojia wasn't an obedient quiet girl.

"You…" Leng Shaojia glared at Leng Shaoxun.

"Leng Shaojia, if you dare say anything terrible about Ningning again, I promise that you can't bear the result," Leng Shaoting said in a cold tone and threatened Leng Shaojia.

He couldn't stand to see Leng Shaojia humiliating Gu Ning right in front of him.

Facing Leng Shaoting's threat, Leng Shaojia shut her mouth. She hated Leng Shaoting and always acted against him, but she had to admit that she was scared of him too.

"Leng Shaojia, did you forget my warning? Do you want to ruin our family? If you're unhappy to be here, don't come back again," Master Leng said.

"I…" Leng Shaojia rounded her eyes in shock. She didn't expect that her grandfather would side with Gu Ning. However, before she could say something, Leng Yuanqian gave an order. "Shaojia, apologize to Miss Gu, now."

Leng Yuanqian cared a lot about his face and pride, so he ordered Leng Shaojia to apologize since it was her fault.

Jiang Shuyuan wanted to help Leng Shaojia, but she could do nothing about it now.

"I…" Leng Shaojia was reluctant to do that.

"Apologize!" Leng Yuanqian ordered again.

Master Leng and the others all stared at Leng Shaojia. It seemed that they wouldn't let her go unless she apologized.

Even Gu Ning looked coldly at Leng Shaojia. If Leng Shaojia didn't apologize, she would use violence to teach her a lesson.

No matter how unwilling Leng Shaojia was right now, she had to yield. "I'm sorry."

Her voice was very low. Although Gu Ning heard it, she purposely said, "Miss Leng, what did you say? Could you please speak louder?"

"You…" Leng Shaojia felt utterly humiliated.

Jiang Shuyuan opened her mouth at this moment. "We all heard it. Are you doing that on purpose?"

"Sorry, I don't have good hearing," Gu Ning said, which obviously was a lie.

"You…" Jiang Shuyuan was mad, but Leng Yuanqian glared at her, so she had to shut her mouth.

Leng Shaoting supported Gu Ning, so did Master Leng, because they both thought that Leng Shaojia wasn't loud enough.

Even if Leng Shaojia's apology was insincere, it must be loud.

"I'm sorry." Leng Shaojia raised her voice, then turned around walking upstairs. She was too mad to have dinner now.

Nobody stopped her, and it wasn't a bad thing that she was absent for dinner.

Jiang Shuyuan looked at Gu Ning with her eyes full of hatred, but she couldn't say, or do anything.

She finally realized why Master Leng had told them that Gu Ning wasn't weak at all.

Leng Shaojia learned her lesson today.

Chapter 1056 Ms. Jiang

After that, they began to enjoy dinner together.

Although they sat randomly around the table, Master Leng was the only one who could sit on the master's seat.

Master Leng pulled Gu Ning over and told her to sit by his right side, while Leng Shaoting sat by Gu Ning's right side.

Because of what had just happened, Jiang Shuyuan lost her appetite, so did Leng Yuanqian, but the others were in a good mood.

Master Leng even kept refilling Gu Ning's bowl during dinner. Luckily, Gu Ning could eat all of it.

In Master Leng's eyes, Gu Ning was already a member of his family, and he had a very good impression of her.

…

Leng Shaojia repeatedly threw her pillow against the bed to vent her anger in her room.

"Damn you, Gu Ning! You'll be abandoned by Leng Shaoting one day in the future. You'll be raped to death!" Leng Shaojia viciously cursed Gu Ning.

Jiang Shuyuan was also annoyed by Gu Ning, so she still tried to pick on her. "Miss Gu, may I know where you are from?" Even though she sounded polite, she failed to hide her malicious aim. "City F," Gu Ning said. She wasn't afraid of her at all.

"City F? Isn't it a third-tier city? What does your family do, Miss Gu?" Jiang Shuyuan asked again with disdain.

"Can't you be quiet for a while?" Master Leng snapped at her in annoyance.

"Grandpa Leng, it's fine. Since Ms. Jiang wants to know more about me, I'm willing to share some information with her," Gu Ning said to comfort Master Leng. She didn't call Jiang Shuyuan Aunt Shuyuan, but Ms. Jiang, which showed that she was unwilling to be close to her.

Master Leng didn't say anything further, because he knew that Gu Ning was able to handle it well.

"My mother owns a beauty salon." Gu Ning answered Jiang Shuyuan's question.

"How about your father?" Jiang Shuyuan asked at once.

"Well, my father is involved in many industries," Gu Ning said, but didn't tell her the details.

"Oh, sounds great. What's the name of your father's company?" Jiang Shuyuan asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you many details," Gu Ning said. She didn't want to use the Tang family's influence to help herself now, because Jiang Shuyuan was no match for her.

However, Jiang Shuyuan believed that Gu Ning's family business must be too small to show off.

"Fine, I probably have never heard of it before, because I only know the most famous, large companies," Jiang Shuyuan said.

"There is no need for you to know details about Gu Ning's family business, because Gu Ning's business empire alone is enough to shock you," Leng Shaoxun said. He couldn't stand Jiang Shuyuan's face that was filled with obvious disdain anymore.

"Miss Gu's business empire?"

Hearing that, Jiang Shuyuan and the others were greatly surprised. They couldn't believe that Gu Ning was able to run a business empire at such an early age!

"Didn't you just buy a set of jewelry from Jade Beauty Jewelry? Gu Ning owns it. You're using skincare products from Kouzi right? Gu Ning owns that too, and there are many other famous companies owned by her," Leng Shaoxun said with pride.

It sounded as if he was the boss of those companies.

"What? She owns Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi?"

Jiang Shuyuan was shocked.

In fact, both Jiang Shuyuan and Yu Yin were fans of Jade Beauty Jewelry. They loved Kouzi too, but didn't pay much attention to the founder of those two brands.

To their astonishment, Gu Ning was the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.

"Right, I'm the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi," Gu Ning said with a calm face. "I'm also surprised to know that Ms. JIang likes my companies' products. Since you're Shaoting's aunt, you can have 20% off the next time."

Gu Ning said that simply to make fun of Jiang Shuyuan.

Since Jiang Shuyuan hated her so much, Jiang Shuyuan might stop buying from Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.

It was nothing in Gu Ning's eyes. Even if Jiang Shuyuan accepted the discount, Gu Ning didn't mind it at all.

"It's not necessary. I don't think Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi are good brands at all, and I won't buy them again," Jiang Shuyuan said with dislike. She was unwilling to buy the products produced by Gu Ning's companies.

Nevertheless, it was a painful decision.

Jiang Shuyuan regretted it the moment she said that aloud, because she really liked Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, especially Kouzi.

Kouzi had greatly improved her skin, and she was actually reluctant to stop using it. However, she had already said it aloud, so it was impossible for her to take back her words now.

"Cool," Gu Ning said and shrugged.

After that, she asked Yu Yin, "Aunt Yin, what brand of skincare products do you use?"

"I use Kouzi too, and I think it's very effective!" Yu Yin said, and she was a loyal fan of Kouzi.

Chapter 1057 Fulushou Jade Pendan

"Glad to know that. Actually, there are many fans of Kouzi, but unfortunately Ms. Jiang dislikes it. Maybe she has abnormal skin," Gu Ning said and mocked Jiang Shuyuan.Hearing that, Jiang Shuyuan was mad. However, before she could say anything, Gu Ning interrupted her and kept talking with Yu Yin. "Aunt Yin, do you like Jade Beauty Jewelry?"

"Of course, it's the most popular jewelry brand now!" Yu Yin said with a smile.

In the capital, many noble ladies were fans of Jade Beauty Jewelry, and they felt honored to own the luxurious jade jewelry from it.

Compared with Jade Beauty Jewelry, other jewelry looked less attractive. Moreover, Jade Beauty Jewelry was getting increasingly famous.

"I'm relieved to hear that, because I've prepared a gift for you, Aunt Yin," Gu Ning said, then took out her backpack.

Actually, Gu Ning had no intention to send Yu Yin a gift right now, but she decided to do it in order to annoy Jiang Shuyuan. She wasn't weak, and would fight back once she was attacked.

Yu Yin was surprised when she heard that. Gu Ning just asked her whether she liked Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, so the gift was highly likely to be the products of Jade Beauty Jewelry or Kouzi.

Except for Master Leng and Leng Shaoting, the others around the table were also surprised, and Jiang Shuyuan felt jealous of Yu Yin.

At the same time, she also believed that Gu Ning did it on purpose to embarrass her. She felt utterly regretful now. She shouldn't have said that she disliked Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, or she could have gotten a gift too!

Before long, Gu Ning took out a jewelry case and a case of skincare products.

They were indeed products from Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.

"Here is a jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry, and a set of Kouzi skincare products. Aunt Yin, I hope you like them," Gu Ning said and handed them to Yu Yin.

Yu Yin's face lit up when she saw the two cases, but she wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to accept them right now. "Well, I…"

"They aren't very expensive. Please accept them, Aunt Yin," Gu Ning said, and put them into Yu Yin's arms.

"Since it's a gift from Girl Gu, you can accept them. Girl Gu does it out of kindness after all," Master Leng said.

He understood that Gu Ning did it to annoy Jiang Shuyuan, but didn't think it was inappropriate. Instead, he supported Gu Ning in doing it.

It was Jiang Shuyuan's fault anyway.

"Well, thank you so much." Yu Yin accepted them happily. She could absolutely afford them, but felt happier when they were free.

Jiang Shuyuan's face was distorted in anger, because Gu Ning only gave Yu Yin a gift and ignored her. She also wanted a gift.

Without a doubt, the jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry must be expensive.

Leng Yuanqian felt a little embarrassed too because Jiang Shuyuan was his wife, and her behavior affected him. However, it was Jiang Shuyuan's fault after all, so he couldn't blame Gu Ning.

Anyway, he had a terrible impression of Gu Ning, but Gu Ning didn't care about it at all.

After that, they continued to enjoy dinner, because it wasn't appropriate for Yu Yin to open the jewelry case now.

When they finished the dinner, they went to share tea in the living room and chatted with each other. Yu Yin didn't open the jewelry case until now.

Jiang Shuyuan wanted to go upstairs once she finished dinner because she was unwilling to stay with Gu Ning for a while longer, but she ached to see what was in the jewelry case.

Yu Yin was surprised again the second she saw the jade pendant. "Jesus, it's a Fulushou jade pendant!"

A Fulushou jade pendant cost at least three million yuan.

Except for Master Leng and Leng Shaoting, the others were all astonished by Gu Ning's generosity.

Master Leng wasn't surprised because Gu Ning had sent him several more expensive gifts. The King's Green jade alone was worth over a hundred million yuan.

Leng Shaoting wasn't surprised because he knew that Gu Ning was always generous.

Jiang Shuyuan, however, couldn't be more jealous now.

"Aunt Yin, you can have 20% off when you spend money in Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi again in the future. If you go there with your friends, your friends can have the same discount as you," Gu Ning said.

Although she gave Yu Yin the gift in order to irritate Jiang Shuyuan, she was willing to be kind to Yu Yin. Gu Ning had a good impression of Yu Yin, because Yu Yin held no grudge against her or Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting only cared about Master Leng in the Leng family, but Gu Ning understood that he also ached for familial love. If Leng Shaoting could have some family members who really cared about him, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Chapter 1058 Yu Yin Approves of Gu Ning

"Miss Gu, do you think that we can't afford internationally famous luxurious jewelry brands? This brand isn't international at all. I don't think it's a good gift." Jiang Shuyuan was just trying to stir things up because she was jealous.

Yu Yin, however, didn't care about her opinions at all.

"Thanks, I think it's a good gift, and I like it very much," Yu Yin said to Gu Ning.

Although Gu Ning had the gift of gab, she wouldn't argue with those who didn't have hatred towards her. She would only treat kind people better once she felt kindness.

Therefore, Yu Yin had a better impression of Gu Ning now.

Even though Yu Yin clearly knew that Gu Ning purposely did it to irritate Jiang Shuyuan, she still sensed Gu Ning's kindness. Anyway, she disliked Jiang Shuyuan too.

"Don't you have a sense of shame? It's cheap and worthless," Jiang Shuyuan mocked Yu Yin.

"Shuyuan, it's over the top. Gu Ning is just being kind, and her kindness is priceless. No matter how rich the Leng family is, we shouldn't spend money with wild abandon," Yu Yin said.

"You…" Jiang Shuyuan was mad.

"Enough." Leng Yuanqian interrupted her. "Couldn't you be quiet for a while?"

"I…" Jiang Shuyuan wanted to say something again, but didn't dare to utter a word when she saw Leng Yuanqian's cold expression.

She felt utterly embarrassed, then left without delay. Leng Yuanqian also made an excuse to go to his study.

The others in the room didn't care about it, and continued to chat with each other.

Leng Shaoxun said, "Dad, mom, do you know how awesome Gu Ning is? She owns other companies except for Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi."

He directly took out his phone and searched Gu Ning's name on the Internet before he showed the results to Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin.

"Goddess Gu is my idol!" Leng Shaoxi said, and didn't bother to hide her admiration towards Gu Ning.

"Ha-ha, I have a very outstanding granddaughter-in-law!" Master Leng also showed off.

"Grandpa Leng, there is still a lot I can do," Gu Ning said and felt amused.

"It's the truth that you're already very outstanding and successful!" Master Leng said.

After reading the news about Gu Ning, Leng Yuanqian and Yu Yin were both amazed.

To their astonishment, Gu Ning was able to achieve so many things at such an early age. It was totally beyond their imagination.

In their eyes, Gu Ning was a talented genius.

Actually, it wasn't a fair game if they compared Gu Ning with her peers, because she was reborn and had the help of her Jade Eyes.

…

Jiang Shuyuan went to Leng Shaojia's room later.

Both of them were irritated by Gu Ning, so they kept swearing at her.

"It turns out that she's the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, but I just promised not to use the products produced by her companies right in front of their faces! I'm regretful now," Jade Beauty Jewelry said.

"What? She's the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi?" Leng Shaojia was shocked.

She also hated to use the products produced by Gu Ning's companies, but she was unwilling to stop using Kouzi.

"Oh, Gu Ning also gave Yu Yin a Fulushou jade pendant of Jade Beauty Jewelry and a set of Kouzi skincare products, but she ignored me!" Jade Beauty Jewelry said.

"How could she do that! Mom, we can't tolerate this," Leng Shaojia said in anger.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shuyuan also ached to teach Gu Ning a lesson.

"I have no idea now, but I can ask my friend," Leng Shaojia said.

"Great, be careful not to be found out by your grandfather," Jiang Shuyuan said.

"I understand," Leng Shaojia said.

…

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the Leng family's house together a while later.

"Shaoting, will Grandpa Leng have a bad impression of me because of what I did just then?" Gu Ning was a little worried.

She knew that Master Leng thought highly of her, but she hadn't married into the Leng family yet after all, while Leng Shaojia was Master Leng's biological granddaughter.

She visited the members of the Leng family for the first time today, but had an unpleasant argument right in front of Master Leng's face.

"Relax, my grandpa warned them to be kind to you beforehand. If they dare to pick on you, you can fight back as you like. They deserve it," Leng Shaoting said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was relieved.

Actually, Leng Shaoting's attitude mattered most.

Leng Shaoting would side with her whatever she did.

Chapter 1059 I Can"t Help You

The public jade bid would begin the day after tomorrow in Burma, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had to leave for City Teng tomorrow, because Gu Ning needed to check the condition of her companies there.They booked plane tickets to City Teng once they were back in the house.Because of the public jade bid in Burma, there weren't many seats available on planes to City Teng from the capital, so the flight that Gu Ning chose would take off at 9:05 am tomorrow.

Afterwards, Leng Shaoting directly pressed Gu Ning against the bed.

…

Leng Shaojia, at the same time, gathered together with her friends in a bar to talk about how to teach Gu Ning a lesson.

Except for Leng Shaojia and Shi Yanyan, there were two other young and handsome men in the room, but they looked slovenly.

Leng Shaojia asked, "Zhao Kai, do you have any good ideas? I want to teach a little bi*ch a lesson."

"Who dares to annoy you? How serious do you want to make it?" Zhao Kai asked.

"Don't disable, nor kill her. Anything else will be fine," Leng Shaojia said with a malicious face.

"Easy, we can find some men to rape her and take a video of it," Zhao Kai said.

"Good idea." Leng Shaojia wore a satisfied smile. "Can you help me with it?"

"No problem," Zhao Kai said. He had many fair-weather friends who were good at it.

"Give me some information of the little bi*ch, so we can stalk her," Zhao Kai said.

"Her name's Gu Ning, 19 years old. Oh, wait a second, let me see whether I can find her photo," Leng Shaojia said, then searched for Gu Ning's photos on the Internet.

Leng Shaojia wasn't aware of Gu Ning's great fame now, and she only knew Gu Ning was the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.

Therefore, she typed Gu Ning's name along with Jade Beauty Jewelry to search for Gu Ning's photos. However, she found out more shocking news about Gu Ning, and kept reading it.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Yanyan asked Leng Shaojia because Leng Shaojia looked shocked.

"H-How is it possible?" Leng Shaojia couldn't believe her eyes.

"What?" Zhao Kai and another man asked her too.

Leng Shaojia didn't answer their questions, so Shi Yanyan approached to look at the screen of her phone.

There was information about Gu Ning on the screen of Leng Shaojia's phone, and Shi Yanyan was also astonished after reading it.

She remembered Gu Ning that they ran into in that restaurant last time, but she didn't expect that Gu Ning was so successful.

Zhao Kai got curious and checked Gu Ning's information as well. "Jesus, Shaojia, are you going to tell me to teach this girl a lesson? She isn't weak at all!" Zhao Kai exclaimed with shock.

Zhao Kai had seen some news about Goddess Gu, but he didn't know Goddess Gu was Gu Ning. He had never met Gu Ning before after all.

However, he was reluctant to mess with Gu Ning once he found out that Gu Ning was the famous Goddess Gu.

The Zhao family was also a super-rich family in the capital, but it didn't mean that he dared to annoy anybody. He clearly knew that he shouldn't mess with important or influential figures.

"Well, I don't think we can catch her, let alone rape her," another man said.

With a loud sound, Leng Shaojia hit her phone against the table and said in anger, "How is it possible!"

"Shaojia, why do you hate Gu Ning so much?" Zhao Kai asked.

"We had an argument in a restaurant before, and I just found out she's Leng Shaoting's girlfriend! She embarrassed my mother and I this afternoon at dinner," Leng Shaojia said. "I can't accept it, and I must teach her a lesson!"

Hearing that, the others took a long breath in.

They often hung out with Leng Shaojia, so they heard much about Leng Shaoting. They all knew Leng Shaoting's importance in the Leng family, and none of them dared or were willing to annoy him.

Since they knew that Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend now, it was impossible that they would hurt her. It was Leng Shaojia's grudge against Gu Ning, and they preferred to stay away from it.

"Shaojia, I can't help you this time," Zhao Kai said.

Although Leng Shaojia was displeased, she didn't insist, and drowned her sorrows. Nevertheless, she had no intention to give up.

If Zhao Kai couldn't help her, she would turn to others for help. She didn't believe that there was no one who had the ability to punish Gu Ning.

…

The next morning, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting set off early to avoid the traffic.

Before they boarded, Gu Ning called Zheng Peng, and told him the specific time that she would arrive at City Teng so that he could pick her up on time.

Gu Ning and the others wouldn't reach the airport of City Teng until 1:50 pm.

…

In the lounge, Gu Ning left to use the ladies' room, and a beautiful girl seized this chance to strike up a conversation with Leng Shaoting.

However, Leng Shaoting put on a cold face the entire time, and the beautiful girl had to leave in the end.

"Oh, you're so charming and popular! I just left for two minutes," Gu Ning joked, walking towards him.

Leng Shaoting, however, looked serious. "If I weren't charming, I wouldn't have the famous Goddess Gu be my girlfriend."

"Ha-ha." Gu Ning was amused.

Chapter 1060 Compete for Jade Raw Materials

Leng Shaoting was much more outgoing than before."It's the truth," Leng Shaoting said.

Once Gu Ning sat back by Leng Shaoting's side, other females withdrew their gazes. Leng Shaoting already had a girlfriend, so it was inappropriate for them to keep staring at him.

Nobody wanted to be embarrassed in public.

…

When it was the departure time, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting boarded.

And at 1:50 pm, the plane landed at the airport of City Teng.

Gu Ning turned on her phone, and found a missed call and a message from Zi Beiying.

Zi Beiying told her to call her back when she read this message.

Gu Ning called Zheng Peng first, then called Zi Beiying back.

Zi Beiying picked the call up at once.

"Hey, where are you now?" Zi Beiying asked.

"I'm in City Teng," Gu Ning said.

"Are you going to attend the public jade bid in Burma?" Zi Beiying sounded excited.

"Yeah," Gu Ning said, then understood why Zi Beiying called her.

"Wonderful, I'm leaving for Burma too! I knew that you'll be there since you're involved in the jewelry business. I'll be in Burma tomorrow. Can we meet?" Zi Beiying asked.

"Sure, but I'm not sure that I can keep your company all the time. I have something else to deal with," Gu Ning said.

"It's fine. I'm just going there for fun, so you can take me on a tour," Zi Beiying said.

"No problem," Gu Ning said. She hung up the call, and told Leng Shaoting about it, and Leng Shaoting agreed with it.

When they walked in the parking lot, they saw Zheng Peng standing by a car in the distance. He waved at Gu Ning once she showed up in his sight.

"Hi, boss, Mr. Leng," Zheng Peng said to them politely.

"Hi, been a while!" Gu Ning smiled at him.

They got in the car afterwards, and Zheng Peng asked Gu Ning, "Boss, where should we go first?"

"To the stone-gambling street please," Gu Ning said.

"Sure," Zheng Peng said and started the car.

"Uncle Zheng, how's the company going?" Gu Ning asked.

"Everything is going well, and the company is growing fast," Zheng Peng said with excitement.

"Glad to know that. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to let me know. Don't be overburdened," Gu Ning said.

"I will, boss," Zheng Peng said.

Although Zheng Peng was willing to deal with all the problems alone, he should definitely discuss it with Gu Ning when it was necessary.

"Boss, when will you go to Burma?" Zheng Peng asked.

"Tomorrow morning I guess," Gu Ning said.

City Teng was very close to Burma, so they could be Burma in an hour or two. The public jade bid would be held for three days. During the first two days, jade raw materials would be put out to tender, and people would begin to bid on the third day.

Zheng Peng took out an invitation letter at this moment and handed it to Gu Ning. "Boss, this is the invitation letter of the public jade bid."

There were three ways to join in the public jade bid. First, by being invited by the government of Burma; Second, by being invited by jewelry associations of Burma; Third, by being invited by jewelry trade companies of Burma.

Colorful Jade Provider was one of the three biggest jade providers in City Teng, so it was directly invited by the government of Burma.

Gu Ning took the invitation letter, and put it into her backpack.

…

When they arrived at the stone-gambling street, it was full of activity with a lot more visitors than usual.

Zheng Peng said, "Because of tomorrow's public jade bid in Burma, many people came to City Teng first."

City Teng was the place of production for jade raw materials, so it was normally the first stop of jade raw material buyers.

Once Gu Ning entered the stone-gambling street, she used her Jade Eyes to scan around to see whether she could find quality jade.

Although she already had enough jade now, it was hard to find quality jade, and she wouldn't miss any chance to find a piece.

After walking by several stands, Gu Ning found a raw material with high-level jade inside. She told Zheng Peng and Leng Shaoting to wait for her for a while, then walked over herself.

She bought two raw materials without asking for their prices, which surprised other people.

"Does she know stone gambling at all? She didn't carefully observe it."

"I think she must be very rich."

"Even if she doesn't lack money, a piece of jade raw material isn't cheap!"

…

Some people got jealous the moment they saw rich people, and they held great hatred towards rich people too.

Gu Ning, however, didn't care about their opinions.

Zheng Peng and Leng Shaoting understood that there must be jade in those two raw materials since Gu Ning bought them without asking for their prices.

"Hey, miss, do you want to cut it out?" the stand owner asked.

"No, thanks," Gu Ning said, then left.

"Let me take them." Leng Shaoting carried the two jade raw materials for Gu Ning.

Gu Ning then kept using her Jade Eyes, and went to buy jade raw materials by herself again.

She didn't let Zheng Peng follow her, because most stand owners on this street were familiar with him. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Ning told him to stay behind.

Gu Ning did the same thing this time. She didn't have a careful observation before she paid for it.

However, as soon as her hand fell on the jade raw material, another hand fell on it too. In other people's eyes, their hands were laid on the raw material at the same time.

Neither of them was willing to withdraw their hands.

The person who also laid a hand on the raw material was a woman around 30. She was a pretty successful businesswoman in a formal suit and looked a little arrogant.

"I'm sorry, I touched this raw material before you, so I have the right to buy it first," Gu Ning said.
