Chapter 71: You Will Pay for It

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Sorry, I have something to deal with. You can go with your friends," Qin Yifan said. It was simply his way of refusal.

"Every time I invite you to watch a movie, you're always busy." Although Li Zhenzhen knew it would end up like that, she felt hurt when she heard the answer.

She had abased herself before him to the best of her ability. Why would he keep being so cold?

Li Zhenzhen was a beautiful, sexy and well-educated woman from a rich family. She had everything a man could expect from a woman. And she had countless admirers, but Qin Yifan was clearly not one of them.

She wasn't going to be his younger sister, or girlfriend. She wanted to be his wife.

"Yifan…" Li Zhenzhen wanted to say more, but her phone rang.

Li Zhenzhen's phone was placed on the edge of the dining table. The caller was Liu. Li Zhenzhen felt nervous for a second, then she was delighted.

"Um, I need to take this call." Li Zhenzhen took her phone immediately standing up and left her seat. She didn't want Qin Yifan to hear a word.

Li Zhenzhen ran straight outside. She answered the phone. Out of excitement, she asked first before the other side could open the mouth, "Hey, Liu, did you finish it? I'll transfer the rest of the fifty thousand yuan to your account later."

"Oh, Miss Li, my dignity is only worth a hundred thousand yuan in your eyes?" Gu Ning sneered.

"You…" Hearing Gu Ning's voice, Li Zhenzhen trembled in shock. She almost threw her phone away. Why? How could it be possible?

What had happened? Why did they take the money but fail to do what she had asked?

"Miss Li, I'll bear in mind what happened today. And you will pay for it. Be careful!" Gu Ning warned her plainly.

"You dare to threaten me?" Although Li Zhenzhen felt afraid, she was irritated by Gu Ning's words. Her face changed, she looked vicious now.

"Yes, I did threaten you," Gu Ning admitted without hesitation. Li Zhenzhen was in a rage now, but also felt regretful.

After a while, Gu Ning added, "Miss Li, since you're capable of doing that, you have to bear the consequences."

Then Gu Ning hung up the phone before Li Zhenzhen could say a word.

Li Zhenzhen was so mad that she almost smashed her phone. She actually didn't know Gu Ning's background, but since Gu Ning had Liu's phone to call her, Gu Ning must not be an ordinary person.

Thus Li Zhenzhen felt uneasy about Gu Ning's threat.

Now, Li Zhenzhen was truly not in the mood to watch a movie. She forced herself to finish the meal with Qin Yifan, then asked him to drive her home.

She was worried something terrible would happen to her on her way home.

Li Zhenzhen stopped asking Qin Yifan to keep her company, which made him happy.

But if he had known the reason, he would probably not have been so calm.

On the other side, Gu Ning hung up the phone, then directly threw it back to the man. She turned around and left.

Gu Ning didn't know whether they would try to get revenge on her. All she could do was protect herself.

Gu Ning walked to the car. She pulled the unconscious man away from the driver seat, then dumped him on the ground. She sat inside herself.

Gu Ning started the car, and left.

After Gu Ning was gone, at the opposite side of the ally, a black Maserati stopped there. The car window moved slowly down.

There were two men sitting inside, watching the way Gu Ning left.

On the driver seat, a young man who was around 25 was in a casual suit. His face was full of amazement and excitement. "Wow, I didn't expect this young girl could be so strong and powerful! I feel like having a fight with her!"

"You'll lose for sure." a cold voice sounded from the passenger seat. The young man immediately felt upset.

The man who sat on the passenger seat was several years older. He was almost 30 with beautiful features. He had an air of power.

Hearing that, the young man was displeased. He complained, "Boss, don't upset your own friend, alright?"

"Can you defeat them all within a minute?" the man inquired.

"Um…" The young man felt shamed. Apparently, he couldn't.

Although he could beat them down within a few minutes, he couldn't do it the way the girl had done it.

"Xuanfeng, find out who these guys' head is. How dare them take a buyer's money secretly without my permission!" the man said coldly. He was obviously annoyed.

The man was actually the chairman of the Qing Gang, Situ Ye.

Although Qing Gang was a gang, it had principles and rules. It was unacceptable to take a buyer's money secretly and charge the fee of protection, which was amoral.

Of course, even though there were rules, some people would break them as they liked.

Even in the country, there were many corrupt officials.

As long as they hadn't been discovered, they would continue to do amoral things.

"Yes, boss!" Chu Xuanfeng answered.

Gu Ning stopped aside after a short distance, not because she was lost, but she needed to find her real driver.

She now was half worried and half doubtful towards the driver.

What if the driver was one of the gangsters? What if the driver was in trouble himself?

Gu Ning pulled over the car, taking out her phone. She called the driver at once.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

Right when Gu Ning was about to call the police, a noise sounded from the trunk. An idea suddenly dawned on Gu Ning. She immediately clicked a button, then stepped out of the car, walking to the trunk.

There he was! The real driver who had been supposed to take her, was now tightly tied up struggling with his mouth stuck full of a rag in the trunk.

Seeing Gu Ning, his eyes lit up at once. He knew Gu Ning must be here to rescue him. He mumbled in excitement to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was also relieved to see the driver was safe. She immediately untied him.

The rag in his mouth was removed. The driver was free. He apologized at once, "Miss Gu, I am so sorry. I have no idea why they did this to me. Thank you so much for rescuing me!"

Chapter 72: Shopping in the Shopping Center

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Thinking of that, the driver was still trembling with terror.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault actually. They were targeting me," Gu Ning said, then she told him everything that had just happened.

"What?" The driver was shocked, but he didn't blame Gu Ning since she was also a victim.

Because a lot had just happened, when Gu Ning finally arrived at the hotel, it was already 8 pm. Gu Ning was starving so she immediately called room service.

She had planned to buy clothes in the downtown this afternoon, but she didn't have time now.

Although the shopping center was still open now, Gu Ning wasn't only going to buy clothes for herself. She would buy some for Gu Man and the family of Gu Qing too. Thus an hour wasn't enough for her to shop.

Gu Ning didn't have another change of clothing. She had to wash her clothes tonight, and hopefully it would dry tomorrow.

She had her school uniform in her backpack, but she didn't want to wear it. It would be too obvious in the crowd.

Her dinner hadn't arrived yet. Gu Ning called Gu Man to chat with her for a short time.

Then she talked with Chu Peihan and others in their WeChat group for a while.

…

The evening wind was cool and mild. It danced with people walking by. Sometimes, it was a bit chilly.

In the downtown of City G, there was the biggest entertainment place, King's Club.

In the noisy club, colorful lights shone. Men and women crazily shook their waists on the dance floor and the air was full of desire and luxury.

But in a private room which was set apart from the main hall, there was only light music and gentle talks.

In this huge private room, there were only five men without a single bar girl.

Apparently, something special was going on here.

"F*ck, we were just f*cking lucky this time. We even met the legendary Red Flame team captain, Red Wolf, who has killed seven of our people. All the troops were almost wiped out. Fortunately, we ran fast. Otherwise, we were f*cked," a young man groaned and slammed the cigarette butt into the ground, seemingly venting the anger in his heart.

"I've heard that Red Wolf is very powerful. I didn't care, but I've witnessed this time. He's really very powerful. He could fight with more than a dozen people, and killed seven. He only got shot twice," a bulky muscular man with a naked upper body said.

Although he hated his opponent to death, he admired him too.

"Luckily he got shot, and wasn't able to track us. Or we would be found," a relatively short man with a vicious look said.

"But we can't be too careless. After all, the other team is the captain of the important national team. Maybe he will send someone to follow us! So we'll be evacuated as soon as we successfully trade tomorrow."

"But why do they have to choose the Commercial Building in the city center! There are so many people there. Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

"F*ck! They're simply afraid that we get the money, but don't give them the goods. So the most secure place is where there are many people around. If we really don't give them the goods, they will immediately cause a riot and bring the police. In that case, we can't leave either."

"This isn't the first time. Couldn't they trust us?"

"The object is worth a hundred million yuan this time. It is reasonable to be careful."

In another private room, there was a laptop on the table. The screen showed the picture of the above men's room.

A man sat before the laptop with earphones on. He had heard everything they had discussed.

This man was Leng Shaoting.

He had fine delicate features, but wore a cold expression. His eyes were as deep as the ocean with an air of power. He seemed like a king.

Behind Leng Shaoting, there stood two men. Both of them stared at the screen too, but didn't hear what they had said.

"Boss, what's their next movement?" seeing Leng Shaoting take off his earphones, a man asked.

"They're going to trade at the business building in the downtown. Keep an eye on their location," Leng Shaoting said calmly with a serious look on face.

Leng Shaoting didn't kill them right now. He intended to use them as bait.

Their head wasn't here, and the object was in the head's hands. If he killed them now, their head would be alarmed.

They actually had no idea where their head was. If they had known, they would have come to him and killed him right away.

…

The next day, Gu Ning didn't get up till 8am.

Gu Ning was actually awake earlier, but she had nothing to do. The shopping center was open at eight am, so she didn't leave her warm bed till that time.

Besides, Gu Ning would fly back to City F at two pm this afternoon. She had a whole morning to shop in the shopping center. She didn't need to rush at all.

She also needed to sign the contract with Zhou Zhenghong in the shopping center today.

The appointed time was 11am, which was a good time for lunch.

Gu Ning went downstairs when she got up. She checked out afterwards.

The shopping center wasn't far away. It took around 20 minutes to walk there. Thus there was no need for Gu Ning to take a taxi. She walked there directly.

She had her breakfast halfway. When she finally arrived at the shopping center, it was almost 9am.

Today was a Sunday. There were already many people around in the shopping center at 9am.

Female clothes were on the second floor, so Gu Ning went straight to the second floor.

The shopping center was so big. It seemed it would never end. Gu Ning suddenly didn't know where to start.

She walked randomly to a direction scanning through the clothes on both sides. If she liked the style of a brand, she would walk inside.

After a while, Gu Ning found an international designer brand. It was extremely expensive.

But no matter how expensive it was, it was nothing to Gu Ning now.

"Nice to meet you, welcome!" A saleswoman immediately came to her when Gu Ning stepped in. "Miss, may I help?"

"May I have a look at the clothes which are suitable for a woman around 40?" Gu Ning asked.

"Sure, miss, please follow me." The saleswoman guided Gu Ning to an area.

Gu Ning had a look. Nothing she liked.

"Could you please tell me the body type of your relative?" the saleswoman inquired.

"She has the same body as me. If I can wear it, it will fit her too," Gu Ning answered.

Gu Ning was 167cm tall, and slim.

Then, the saleswoman chose a piece of clothing showing it to Gu Ning. "Miss, how about this one?"

"Well, it looks good." Gu Ning looked at it and like it at once. It would fit Gu Man. She was about to take it and have a closer look.

Chapter 73: The Drama in the Shopping Center

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

But before Gu Ning's hand touched the piece of clothing, another hand grabbed it first. "I like this one. I'm going to try it."

It was a woman who was at her early forties. She was in luxurious clothes, but it was only limited to her appearance. She didn't have the same good manners.

A woman with good manners would never grab a thing from another person's hand.

"Stop there," Gu Ning criticized. She was upset.

Gu Ning couldn't tolerate that the woman grabbed the piece of clothing from her hand.

But the woman walked away as if she hadn't heard Gu Ning's voice.

Seeing that, Gu Ning frowned as a look of annoyance crossed her face. She strode ahead and stood in the woman's way.

The woman almost knocked into Gu Ning.

She was a little scared by Gu Ning, and shouted, "What do you want to do, young girl? Do you want to hurt me? You should be responsible for that!"

The woman's shout attracted attention from others in the shop.

People immediately surrounded them to have a look.

"Sorry, I chose this piece of clothing before you," Gu Ning said calmly. If she didn't want it, she wouldn't mind, but since she wanted it, she would never let the woman get away with it.

"Gee, just because you choose it first doesn't mean you own it. It's in my hands now! Well, if I say I choose all the clothes here, does that then mean you won't be able to buy any of them?" the lady said with disdain.

"Wow, I didn't expect you're so rich. You even want them all! Hey, have you heard what she just said? This lady said she want all the clothes here. I think the commission you'll get today will be higher than a year of commission you may get," Gu Ning said to a saleswoman. She deliberately twisted the truth.

"Shut your mouth! I did not say that!" the woman yelled at Gu Ning in anger.

Though she was rich this international designer brand was super expensive, and a single piece of clothing cost dozens of thousands of yuan. All of the clothes here in the shop would be worth at least millions. The woman absolutely couldn't afford it.

The crowd all knew Gu Ning was twisting the truth. No one took her words seriously.

"Really? Because if I choose it, I'm going to buy it. And you?" Gu Ning said provocatively.

"You…" The woman was mad. She also understood Gu Ning was challenging her on purpose, but she was still irritated.

"Sorry, Madam. This young lady did choose this piece of clothing first. Would you please have a look at the other clothes?" the saleswoman apologized to the woman.

Hearing that, the crowd immediately understood what had happened. Everyone disliked the woman's behavior.

"Xiao Li, Mrs. Shao is our frequent customer with a VIP silver card. She has the priority to choose first," another saleswoman who was with Mrs. Shao interrupted. She even glared at the saleswoman who was with Gu Ning.

Apparently, this was nothing to do with the so-called priority to choose first. The saleswoman was just snobbish.

Xiao Li, however, ignored the warning. She argued, "Miss Wang, I disagree with you. The one who arrives first can choose first. Even a VIP customer can't grab the clothes from another customer."

"You…" Miss Wang was annoyed to be argued back.

This Miss Wang was always snobbish, and only served the rich people.

Mrs. Shao, meanwhile, was a frequent customer here. She apparently wanted to have a friendly relationship with Mrs. Shao.

This was a shop of an international designer brand. The cheapest item cost dozens of thousands of yuan. Besides, a saleswoman could have 2% commission on the sales.

Every time Mrs. Shao was here, she would spend at least eighty thousand yuan. The commission would be several thousand yuan!

The onlookers all agreed with Xiao Li. They also felt dissatisfied.

"Exactly, even a VIP customer can't grab the clothes from another customer. It's unfair!"

"It's not unfair. It's snobbish."

"Why don't you just sell the clothes only to the VIP customers? Anyone who wants to buy clothing here must have a VIP card first."

"True!"

Those customers who surrounded them all criticized Miss Wang, which made her feel embarrassed, but she didn't dare to retort.

Mrs. Shao, instead, felt irritated. "So what? I have enough money. I'll buy whatever I want. It's none of your business."

"You can buy whatever you want, but you can't grab things from others!" someone argued.

"Exactly! This lady doesn't have manners at all," someone said.

"You! Do you know who I am? How dare you to say that! I am the wife of the chairman of Zhoufu Jewelry!" Mrs. Shao was annoyed. She spoke loudly about her identity.

Hearing that, everyone shut their mouths at once.

They obviously all knew Zhoufu Jewelry, which had at least a hundred million yuan in assets! And they just had millions in assets. No one dared to compete with Zhoufu Jewelry.

Gu Ning was a little surprised. She didn't expect this woman was Shao Ping's wife.

Shao Ping and Zhou Zhenghong didn't get along with each other. Gu Ning therefore disliked Shao Ping's family as well.

Those onlookers were afraid of the Shao Family, but Gu Ning wasn't. She directly criticized, "Do you think you can do whatever you want as the wife of the chairman of Zhoufu Jewelry?"

"You.." Mrs. Shao didn't expect Gu Ning wasn't afraid of the Shao Family at all.

But Mrs. Shao was too proud. In City F, there were many more families who were richer than them.

At that moment, the store manager came over. "What happened?"

Before anyone else, Gu Ning opened her mouth with slight unkindness. "Nice to meet you, manager. Let me ask you a question first. Is it true that your VIP customer can directly grab the clothing from another normal customer as long as she wants to?"

"How is this possible? The one who arrives first chooses first. A VIP customer can only get a discount," the store manager immediately explained.

Before long, he soon realized what had happened. He then turned to Miss Wang, "Wang Yunyun, what happened?"

Since there was only one VIP customer, Mrs. Shao, in the shop, and the saleswoman who was with Mrs. Shao was Wang Yunyun, the manager naturally turned to her first.

Wang Yunyun had no idea the thing would end up like that. She hated Gu Ning so much, but did not dare to show it in front of the manager.

Besides, this was the first time such a thing had happened. She did not know how to explain.

Chapter 74: Lay off

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Let me explain please. Xiao Li recommended a piece of clothing to me, and I liked it. I wanted to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Shao grabbed it from me. I asked her to give it back to me but she refused. Meanwhile, Wang Yunyun said that Mrs. Shao was a VIP customer and had priority to choose first," Gu Ning said.

The manager changed his face immediately. He didn't doubt Gu Ning's explanation, and bashed Wang Yunyun, "Wang Yunyun, what's wrong with you? You've worked here for a long time. How could you know nothing about the rules?"

The manager knew Wang Yunyun was snobbish but she didn't normally cause any trouble. Thus the manager did nothing. However, the manager couldn't accept that she ruined the reputation of the shop this time.

"I-I…" Wang Yunyun suddenly didn't know what to say. She knew she had behaved in a wrong way, but everything she had done was merely for more commission.

"Enough, you're fired. You don't need to come to work tomorrow." The manager didn't want to waste time with Wang Yunyun. Since she had damaged the reputation of this shop, the manager had to lay her off.

"What?" Hearing that, Wang Yunyun was shocked. She honestly didn't know the result would be that bad.

Now, she sincerely felt scared. If she was fired, she couldn't find a better job. She almost begged, "Manager, please give me another chance! I promise this won't happen again."

"Wang Yunyun, it's written in the contract. Anyone who damages the reputation of this shop will be fired. I'm sorry. My hands are tied," the manager said.

The manager then ignored Wang Yunyun, turning to Mrs. Shao. He explained politely, "Mrs. Shao, we have our rules here. The one who arrives first chooses first. If you like this piece of clothing, I'm afraid you need to wait until this miss doesn't want it, so please return this piece of clothing to this miss. Thank you so much."

Mrs. Shao of course was unhappy to do that, not only because of the piece of clothing, but also because she had been humiliated.

However since the manager was here she didn't want to argue with him. She was going to buy more clothes from this shop in the future.

Although the brand had many stores in City G, this store was unique with many more designs.

"I don't want it at all. Who cares!" Mrs. Shao said with unhappiness. She directly threw the piece of clothing back at Gu Ning, then turned around and left.

She had been greatly humiliated before everyone and had no reason to stay here any longer.

Gu Ning took the piece of clothing right away. She really liked this one.

"I'll take this, and more. Please give me one of that in size L. All of them are for women around 40." Gu Ning handed the clothing to the saleswoman.

Hearing that, the crowd was all surprised.

This girl didn't look at the price tag at all. She must be very rich!

The more a customer bought the more commission a saleswoman could get. Xiao Li was obviously happy to see that. She immediately recommended more to Gu Ning, following Gu Ning's demands.

Finally, Gu Ning chose two sweaters, two pairs of pants and two long wool coats for Gu Man and Gu Qing.

She of course wouldn't forget her uncle Jiang Xu and her cousin Jiang Xinyue.

She bought a black Armani suit, a sweater and a pair of pants for Jiang Xu.

As for Jiang Xinyue, she was still at a young age and didn't need to wear clothing from a designer brand. Gu Ning herself didn't want to do that either, so she went to another shop of a normal brand, and bought some dresses for Jiang Xinyue and herself.

After buying the clothes, Gu Ning went to buy a series of skincare products for both Gu Man and Gu Qing.

Then the question came to Gu Ning. What should she buy for Chu Peihan and others?

Gifts were about good intentions, not the price. Moreover, except for Yu Mixi, the rest were all rich kids. It wasn't a wise choice to buy expensive gifts for them.

After a while, Gu Ning decided to buy Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi each a Lancôme perfume, which was worth more than a thousand yuan.

Yu Mixi lacked of a good phone, so Gu Ning bought a phone for her. To not burden her friend, Gu Ning didn't buy an expensive one, but only spent two thousand yuan on a new phone.

Since she was in a phone shop, Gu Ning bought new phones for Gu Man and the family of Gu Qing as well.

As for Hao Ran and the boys, she bought four Armani wallets for them, which cost around a thousand yuan each.

Gu Ning felt satisfied at the end. When her company opened, she planned to prepare some jewelry made of jade for them then.

When she received Zhou Zhenghong's call, Gu Ning had almost finished her shopping. Before she left, she went to the ladies' room putting all the gifts into her telepathic eye space. It would be a lot if she carried them by hand.

Their appointed place was a restaurant beside the Commercial Building. Gu Ning walked straight to the restaurant after she left the Commercial Building.

She stepped into the elevator. When the door was almost closed, a man suddenly dashed in and knocked into Gu Ning by accident.

"Oh, sorry, I'm in a hurry," the man apologized.

"It's nothing," Gu Ning said. But she felt something was strange, because when the man had hit her, she had felt there was a tough object around the man's waist. It felt like metal, and the shape was quite familiar to Gu Ning.

All of a sudden, an idea dawned on Gu Ning. Was it a gun?

Thinking of that, Gu Ning immediately used her Jade Eyes. It really was a gun!

At the same time, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to scan the other four men around her. She felt nervous at once. These five men all carried a gun with them around their waist.

A man with a gun normally was from the police or the army. Otherwise, they would be gangsters or criminals.

Gu Ning could sense the air of violence from these men. They seemed more like gangsters or criminals.

Gu Ning again used her Jade Eyes to look at the box held in a man's hand. There were bags of white powder inside.

Although Gu Ning had never tried the white power herself, she immediately realized what it was according to her rich experience.

She secretly inhaled deeply. These men must be here to trade.

It was none of her business so Gu Ning didn't plan to get involved.

The elevator stopped at the fifth floor. Gu Ning left the elevator. Coincidentally, the five men all left at the fifth floor too.

Gu Ning walked to the appointed private room. To her surprise, her private room was exactly next to the private room of those men.

"Boss, here you are. Please have a seat." The minute Gu Ning appeared, Zhou Zhenghong immediately greeted her. He pulled out the chair for her too.

"Boss, I didn't know what your favorites are so I didn't order yet. Now please order the food." Zhou Zhenghong handed the menu to Gu Ning, then rang the service bell.

Chapter 75: Too Sensitive

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When a waiter opened the door, Gu Ning glimpsed as a group of men walked by. She unexpectedly found she was familiar with the front man's figure.

However when she looked over, they were gone.

Gu Ning didn't know many men, and even less of them could leave an unforgettable impression on her. Thus she immediately knew who he was.

The man must be the one who had given her the King's Green. What a coincidence! He was here too.

Gu Ning didn't bother to think further about it. She moved her sight back to the menu. She ordered two dished then gave the menu back to Zhou Zhenghong. "Uncle Zhou, please help yourself and order something you like."

Zhou Zhenghong took the menu. He ordered two dishes as well then handed the menu to the waiter.

When the waiter left, Zhou Zhenghong immediately took out a file paper-bag, giving it to Gu Ning. "Boss, I've set up the contract. Please have a look. If there is anything you think is inappropriate, I can adjust it."

"Great." Gu Ning took it. She opened the paper-bag and started to read the document inside.

With her powerful Jade Eyes, it was super easy for Gu Ning to read through the contract quickly, but in front of Zhou Zhenghong, Gu Ning had to pretend. She deliberately spent more time on the papers to make it seem natural.

The contract only had two pages so although Gu Ning slowed down her reading pace on purpose, she still finished it in two minutes.

The labor contract between Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong said that Zhou Zhenghong was the executive director of the Jade Beauty Jewelry Company. He had absolute right of discourse. The registered capital of the Jade Beauty Jewelry Company was a hundred million yuan. In addition to the monthly salary, Zhou Zhenghong also owned 20% of the shares of the Jade Beauty Jewelry Company.

"Well, I think it's good," Gu Ning said. She signed her name in Party A, and then handed it to Zhou Zhenghong. Zhou Zhenghong also signed his name.

Gu Ning couldn't help using her Jade Eyes to see into the private room next door. She saw those men that she saw in the elevator and another group of men sat across a table. There were two black boxes on the table in front of the two groups.

They were in a luxurious restaurant with great insulation so she couldn't hear anything because they weren't speaking loudly.

She could only see what they were doing.

They opened the boxes. One of them was full of bags of white powder, while the other was filled with piles of bills and gold bars.

Apparently, they were in the middle of a deal.

Although Gu Ning knew they were doing something illegal, she knew she shouldn't get involved.

Moreover, there were at least 10 men with guns. Gu Ning wasn't powerful enough to fight against them.

Gu Ning brought her sight back, lifting the tea cup to drink a sip.

However, in the private room adjacent to the private room next door, there were three men. One of them was Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting was dressed in black clothes. He was tall and expressionless.

He was wearing earphones listening to the sound from the adjacent room and was monitoring the conversation.

Meanwhile, a young man walked over, talking to Leng Shaoting, "Captain, except for us and the enemies, there are also people in another private room on this floor. It's room No.3 which is right next to our enemies' room. I've already informed the manager to get them to leave."

"Great," Leng Shaoting answered lightly and said nothing else.

Because they didn't know their enemies' appointed place beforehand, they weren't well prepared in advance. They could only check the surrounding situation after the appointed place had been confirmed. Even the bug was secretly set by one of Leng Shaoting's men who had disguised himself as a waiter.

Knock, knock.

At that moment, the door of Gu Ning's private room was knocked on and was then pushed open.

Gu Ning though it was the waiter; but to her surprise, two men who were around 30 walked in. Both Gu Ning and Zhou Zhenghong frowned a little.

One of the men was full of regrets saying, "Nice to meet you, miss and sir. I'm the hotel manager. I'm so sorry to bother you for a special condition."

The man with the hotel manager walked in front of Gu Ning. He took out a document and handed it to Gu Ning. He said, "Nice to meet you both. This is my certificate as a military officer. Our military is currently carrying out a task on this floor. For your safety, I hope you can immediately move to a private room upstairs. Sorry about that."

Knowing that, Zhou Zhenghong was completely shocked while Gu Ning was merely a little surprised. It must have something to do with the people in the next room.

However could the man be from the military? Well, the man did look like a military man.

"Sure." Gu Ning didn't want to be involved either. She answered then left with Zhou Zhenghong, following the hotel manager and the military officer.

However just as they left the room, the two men standing outside room No.4 immediately looked over. The hotel manager suddenly panicked. His face turned pale at once because he clearly knew that the suspect was right in that private room.

Both Gu Ning and the officer knew that something bad might happen. The reaction of the hotel manager was likely to attract the attention of those men. The officer immediately took a step forward and blocked the hotel manager. He gave the manager a warning look.

However the two people who were outside had already seen the manager's face. They sensed something must be wrong right away. They called out, "Wait."

The hotel manager trembled, but because of the officer's warning look, he forced himself to calm down and immediately put on a formulaic smile. "Nice to meet you sir. What can I do for you?" He asked the person who called him.

The two men exchanged a knowing look, then walked towards them.

Both Gu Ning and the officer were alert. They knew things could go wrong. But they were afraid to raise suspicion, so they decided to temporarily stand still.

The two men walked over, then immediately took out guns aiming at them. "Get in!" they snapped quietly.

The hotel manager and Zhou Zhenghong's faces immediately turned pale. They were trembling from the terror.

Gu Ning and the military officer stayed calm instead; but again to not raise suspicion, they cooperated well and showed fear on their faces.

They were all forced back into the private room.

Room No.5 was where Leng Shaoting stayed. He had set cameras outside, so he was able to see what was going on.

"Captain, what should we do? They're so sensitive!" a man said worriedly.

"Be patient," Leng Shaoting said.

Leng Shaoting didn't miss the relatively smaller figure among them. He was a little upset and uneasy. It seemed that he was concerned about her safety.

In room No.3.

"You just saw us. Why did you look so scared?" a suspect asked the hotel manager. He recognized the hotel manager, so he was particularly sensitive.

Chapter 76: The Gunshots in the Restaurant

"Um, nothing," the hotel manager denied. He tried to stay calm, but failed. The two men definitely didn't believe him.

"Tell them we have a problem here," one of the men said to the other. The other man then turned to walk out.

Gu Ning looked at the man's gun. He hadn't cocked it yet. If Gu Ning went to grab his gun, there was no chance for the man to shoot. In other words, it was safe for Gu Ning to do so.

Gu Ning gave the military officer a knowing look. The latter immediately understood.

The military officer was amazed too. This young girl wasn't afraid at all! She even wanted to act first.

To be honest, the military officer didn't trust Gu Ning's ability. He was a little hesitant, but when he saw Gu Ning's undeniable look, he immediately felt more confident.

Therefore, he nodded slightly as affirmation.

The girl dared to grab the gun directly from a man, which showed she had both courage and ability.

Gu Ning then started to act. She came to the man like lightning and grabbed his hand, with a snap sound, the man's hand was broken.

Meanwhile, the military officer pulled his gun out, shooting at the other man.

Before the man could make a sound, Gu Ning immediately stuffed his mouth with tissues. She then raised her hand and slashed it toward his neck. The man immediately lost consciousness.

Because the officer's gun was equipped with a silencer, it did not make any sound. He accurately shot the other man in the head. The man then silently fell onto the ground.

It all happened too fast to be noticed. The two men still didn't realize what had happened before they were both killed.

Both the hotel manager and Zhou Zhenghong rounded their eyes in shock. They felt like they were in a dream.

The military officer instead was also surprised by Gu Ning. He didn't expect this young girl could be that powerful. She was even as good and swift as he was.

He had been in the army for at least 10 years as a senior special commander, and had been through at least 10 years of devil training. What kind of training had this girl been through? The military officer thought to himself.

Although he wondered, he didn't ask. It was none of his business after all.

Besides, he had a bigger fish to fry now.

"You all must leave now!" the military officer said.

"It's too late," Gu Ning said. She saw someone going out from the private room next door.

As soon as the man came out, he would find the bodies.

At that moment, Gu Ning ran out before she could say another word. The rest of the people in the room were all surprised. They had no idea what she was going to do.

Zhou Zhenghong wanted to have a look, because he was worried about Gu Ning'a safety. However he was stopped by the military officer. Instead, the military officer followed her.

Leng Shaoting, on the other side, noticed Gu Ning was coming out.

Seeing Gu Ning is out, they knew the people in private room No. 3 were fine now; but why was Gu Ning rushing out?

Amid all the confusion, Gu Ning dashed to the door of private room No.4. At the same time, the door was pushed open and a man walked out.

Before the man noticed Gu Ning coming, Gu Ning hit him with great force. The man lost consciousness at short notice and fell onto the ground. Gu Ning then grabbed his gun.

Watching that, Leng Shaoting and his people who were staring at the screen, as well as the military officer who followed Gu Ning out were all shocked.

They now understood why Gu Ning said that it was too late.

But how could she know that there was a man coming out?

Knowing that Gu Ning was safe, Leng Shaoting was relieved. Now it was time for them to act.

Three of them walked out immediately.

Gu Ning's gaze met Leng Shaoting's eyes coincidentally. Seeing his handsome cold face, Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat. But she knew it wasn't the appropriate time to appreciate the handsome man.

"Get back to the private room," Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning.

"I can protect myself," Gu Ning replied. She wouldn't go back.

Leng Shaoting frowned a little. He was apparently dissatisfied but he didn't say anything more. He was confident that as long as he was here, he could protect the young girl. Immediately after that, Leng Shaoting and his people ran into private room No.4. A round of gunshots followed.

Once the gunshots sounded, the whole building was lost in terror. People ran away, trying to hide. The building even shook a little.

Zhou Zhenghong and the hotel manager were scared and hid themselves directly under the table.

Zhou Zhenghong was very worried about Gu Ning, but he did not dare to go out. Moreover, he didn't go out because of Gu Ning's warning.

Before long, the gunshots stopped.

Meanwhile, the sirens also sounded downstairs, but the police were notified in advance and cleaned up the scene.

Although Gu Ning didn't walk into the room, she knew clearly what was happening inside because she used her Jade Eyes.

Leng Shaoting only had three men with him, while the other party had seven or eight men. But for the suspect, the appearance of Leng Shaoting and his men was so unexpected. Thus when the other party reacted, it was already too late and they were all killed

And Leng Shaoting as well his men, were all safe.

They were amazingly powerful.

Although the mission was completed, Leng Shaoting and his men didn't leave right away. They were waiting for the police so that they could hand over.

Gu Ning turned around to go into her private room. She told Zhou Zhenghong and the hotel manager it was alright now.

"Boss, are you alright?" Zhou Zhenghong heard Gu Ning's voice. He immediately moved out from beneath the table, along with the hotel manager.

Seeing that, Gu Ning felt like laughing, but she had no intention to make fun of them.

It had been a gun war, and it was totally understandable that people got scared.

"I'm fine," Gu Ning replied.

"Manager, I suppose you need to close the restaurant for a while because of what has just happened. We won't bother you here," Gu Ning said.

"Sure-sure. I'm so sorry about that, miss. Oh, thank you so much for rescuing me." The manager didn't forget that Gu Ning had saved his life.

"I was saving myself too," Gu Ning said. She wasn't being modest, she simply told the truth.

Then, Gu Ning together with Zhou Zhenghong, who hadn't recovered from the shock yet, went outside.

"Please wait."

Before they went far away, Leng Shaoting stopped them.

"Sir, what's up?" Gu Ning turned around. She looked at Leng Shaoting walking to her with her big beautiful eyes. Her voice sounded charming. All the men were softened.

Leng Shaoting's heart skipped a beat as well. This girl is so adorable!

But the feeling quickly went away.

Leng Shaoting came to Gu Ning, reaching out his hand. "Non-military or police personnel are not allowed to hold guns privately. Once found, it must be handled as illegal behavior."

Everyone was shocked.

What? This young girl had a gun?

Chapter 77: She Has Another Gun with Her

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

They had noticed that Gu Ning had grabbed the suspect's gun, but didn't hand it over.

However Gu Ning left a good impression on them given she had been of great help, so they didn't think further about it. They believed the young girl was simply curious about a gun.

Gu Ning was reluctant to do it at first, but then she resignedly took a gun out of her backpack throwing it back to Leng Shaoting. "Can't hide it from you, ha?" she complained.

Gu Ning didn't have chance to put the gun into the room of her telepathic eyes, so if he wanted to search her body for it, she couldn't hide it. Thus she had to give it to him.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go," Gu Ning called Zhou Zhenghong who was distracted.

Zhou Zhenghong immediately followed her.

When Gu Ning disappeared at the end of the passage, Leng Shaoting found the suspect who was lying on the ground in private room No. 3. He sensed something wasn't right. He walked over and searched the suspect's body.

Nothing.

Indeed, Gu Ning carried another gun with her, which belonged to that suspect.

If Gu Ning hadn't had another gun with her, she wouldn't have been willing to give the first gun to Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting was annoyed, but not upset. It seemed that he trusted her and believed that she wouldn't do anything harmful so he didn't chase her, but instead focused on what had just happened in the hotel.

After all, he knew she was a student from the No. 3 High School in City F. He could always find her later.

"Boss, you're so awesome!" When they left the hotel, Zhou Zhenghong finally recovered from the shock. He now admired Gu Ning more than ever.

Gu Ning was merely an 18-year-old girl!

"If I couldn't do anything, I wouldn't dare to walk around freely," Gu Ning said.

"Right," Zhou Zhenghong agreed with Gu Ning. He had always believed that Gu Ning wasn't just an ordinary girl with excellent accuracy on stone gambling. However today he had been amazed again.

"Oh, boss, what do you want to eat? We haven't eaten yet," Zhou Zhenghong asked.

Gu Ning though for a while, then said, "Let's go have hot pot!"

"Sure," Zhou Zhenghong answered. They went to a food center afterwards.

After the meal, it was already 12:30 pm. Gu Ning's flight would take off at 2 pm so she needed to leave for the airport.

Before she left, Gu Ning told Zhou Zhenghong to buy a car for convenience. He was allowed to choose a car which was worth within a million yuan.

After that, Gu Ning left.

On her way to the airport, Gu Ning thought it would be faster to buy a house if she knew someone who was powerful. Among the people Gu Ning knew in City F, only An Qian and Qin Yifan were reliable.

Gu Ning's first choice was Qin Yifan. She didn't know An Qian��s background and wasn't sure whether An Qian had the ability to help her.

Thus, Gu Ning called Qin Yifan.

At the same time, Qin Yifan was sitting in a café with Li Zhenyu.

Qin Yifan was a mature and stable man, but once it involved Gu Ning, Qin Yifan would suddenly be lively.

When Gu Ning's call came in, Qin Yifan was delighted with a smile at the corners of his lips. "Gu Ning, what's up?" He even sounded sweet.

Li Zhenyu witnessed all his reactions and felt uneasy.

Did Qin Yifan like Gu Ning that much?

Although he hated Gu Ning, he had to admit Gu Ning wasn't ordinary.

She had good appearance, and unbearable luck, as well as talent on stone gambling.

Moreover, Li Zhenzhen had come home in shock yesterday. He then knew Li Zhenzhen had hired a bunch of gangster to teach Gu Ning a lesson.

However unexpectedly, Gu Ning had been totally fine. She even had called and threatened Li Zhenzhen with Liu's phone.

At first Li Zhenyu thought Liu must have been bought by Gu Ning with money. Although he had connection with Liu, they weren't close. Besides, Liu was a gangster who would do anything for money. It was possible that he had betrayed Li Zhenzhen for money.

But he had checked it himself this morning. Liu and his men had been injured by Gu Ning, and all of them were in the hospital now.

Li Zhenyu had totally been shocked.

It was beyond his imagination that a teenage girl could be so powerful and difficult to deal with, but he was still confused about Gu Ning's background.

If she was from a common family, he wouldn't care about her at all, but if she was from a powerful rich family, he would have to have a second thought for the good of his family.

Li Zhenyu decided to investigate Gu Ning first.

Luckily, even though Gu Ning knew Li Zhenzhen was behind those gangsters, she had no proof, so Li Zhenyu didn't need to worry that Gu Ning would sue his sister.

"Well, I want to buy two well-decorated houses in Fenghua Luxury Mansion. Do you know anyone who can get it done as soon as possible?" Gu Ning asked.

Qin Yifan happily replied, "You've called the right person! I have a friend who is actually the sales manager of Fenghua Luxury Mansion. I'll call him later to help you pick the best location and give you the biggest discount."

Qin Yifan knew Gu Ning had over a hundred million yuan of wealth, so he didn't feel surprised when she said she was going to buy houses in Fenghua Luxury Mansion.

Besides, he felt honored that Gu Ning turned to him for help.

"Great, thank you so much." Gu Ning accepted Qin Yifan's kindness. She didn't care about a discount actually, but she wouldn't reject it either.

"You're welcome. I'll send his number to you once it's done," Qin Yifan said.

"Thanks," Gu Ning said. When she was about to hang up, another thing dawned on her. "Oh, I almost forget. I have an emerald with me now, and I want to make some jewelry for my family with it. I plan to give it to Yicui Jade-store to help me with that when you're back in City F."

"What? You've cut out more jade? What is its type?" Qin Yifan was so excited to hear about the jade that he almost jumped up from his seat.

No one could blame him. Gu Ning had already cut out two high-level jade yesterday, which was amazing. But she even cut out more later.

She wanted to make jewelry for her family with it, so it must be a high-level jade!

"You'll find out when you're back. Of course it isn't ordinary." Gu Ning deliberately kept it a secret.

But for Qin Yifan, this was simply a bucket of cold water splashing down on him, and his excitement was immediately ruined. Instead, he was super curious now. He complained, "How can you do that to me! It's torture! I can't wait to see what type it is. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

"You better mind your own on-going business first! Alright, I'm almost at the airport, bye-bye," Gu Ning said.

Chapter 78: Buy Houses

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Take care then." Qin Yifan knew that Gu Ning was going back today, so he wasn't surprised that she was in the airport now.

After Qin Yifan hung up, Li Zhenyu asked him with a meaningful look, "Your attitude towards the girl Gu Ning is different. Tell me the truth. Do you like her?"

Qin Yifan was struck dumb. He did appreciate Gu Ning, but he didn't know whether he liked Gu Ning himself.

He just felt happy and relaxed whenever he was with her.

"I have no idea." Qin Yifan gave a vague answer because he truly didn't know.

However, his vague answer showed that he might actually like her.

Although Li Zhenyu was disappointed to hear that, he said nothing.

He clearly knew that Qin Yifan treated Li Zhenzhen as his younger sister. He wasn't willing to marry her, but Li Zhenyu still had hope.

Qin Yifan's parents liked Li Zhenzhen. They all hoped for Qin Yifan to marry Li Zhenzhen, but they would also respect Qin Yifan's choice.

Therefore, the Li Family couldn't urge Qin Yifan to marry Li Zhenzhen for the good of their relationship.

Qin Yifan then immediately called his friend to help Gu Ning.

At the same time, what had happened in the restaurant was aired on TV. People all felt surprised.

However, the news reports didn't mention Gu Ning.

Although Gu Ning had helped a lot in the gun war, Leng Shaoting was afraid that she would be revenged by other gangsters, so he ordered them to not mention her name.

At 3:15 pm, the plane landed at the airport of City F. Gu Ning checked her phone and saw that she received a message from Qin Yifan.

Qin Yifan told her that he had settled everything. His friend's name and number were attached to the message. The man was called Wei Zhirui.

Gu Ning sent a message back to thank him.

When Gu Ning walked out of the airport, she called Gu Man. She told her mother she was back, but she planned to take a look at the houses before going back to the hospital.

Gu Ning took a taxi heading straight to Fenghua Luxury Mansion.

On her way, she called Wei Zhirui to politely tell him she was coming and her intention.

Wei Zhirui of course wouldn't reject such a profitable deal. Besides, Gu Ning was introduced by his good friend so Wei Zhirui naturally showed his passion.

"Nice to meet you. May I ask, are you Miss Gu?"

Once Gu Ning walked into the sales apartment, a man who was around 30 years old came to greet her.

Wei Zhirui already knew that Gu Ning was a beautiful 18-year-old girl; and there wasn't any other young girls around. He was almost 100% sure that he recognized the right person when Gu Ning stepped in.

Although he knew the buyer was a young girl, he was still greatly surprised when he met Gu Ning in person. The girl was so young, and even wanted to buy two houses!

However, since she was introduced by Qin Yifan, she must be super rich.

Anyway, Wei Zhirui would be polite as long as a customer walked in, no matter if he or she was rich or not. That was the basic qualification of a worker in the service industry.

"I am Gu Ning. You must be Mr. Wei!" Gu Ning answered.

"Yes, I'm Wei Zhirui. Nice to meet you, Miss Gu. Welcome to Fenghua Luxury Mansion," Wei Zhirui said to Gu Ning.

"Miss Gu, Yifan told me about your requests. However, I think it's better to introduce the environment of Fenghua Luxury Mansion to you first. Please follow me."

Wei Zhirui guided Gu Ning to the exhibition hall, and said, "Fenghua Luxury Mansion is the most high-end residential area in City F. The location is very good. It's close to the downtown, but it's quiet. There is a medium-sized shopping mall across the road from Fenghua Luxury Mansion. There are also food supermarkets, clothing, furniture and so forth inside. There are also many banks around so it's very convenient to live here."

"The facilities, preservation and property service of Fenghua Luxury Mansion are all of high quality. Fenghua Luxury Mansion is planned in the form of a district within a central district. Each district forms a community with between four and eight buildings with independent gates. The residents need a card to get in and an outsider needs to get the guidance or permission of a resident here. Only after the security guard is informed can the outsider come in. Of course, it is possible that someone could secretly follow a resident and get in, but if anyone directly affects you, you can immediately call the security room. The security guard will take him or her out as fast as possible. There are small squares, greenery, swimming pools, leisure bars, gyms and small food supermarkets inside as well."

"Miss Gu, if you want well-decorated houses, the choices of location and floor are limited, because we only have three floors with well-decorated houses in each building. The floors of each building are different. There are six households on each floor, two with four-bedrooms, two with three-bedrooms and two with two-bedrooms. If you want a three-bedroom house, there are two best choices available. One is in the E zone, and the other is in the G zone. Each zone is a community of four or five buildings. If you come in from the gate and walk at a general speed, it only takes 10 to 20 minutes to arrive. We do however have sightseeing cars around here. If you take the car, it only takes three minutes."

Wei Zhirui then pointed out the location for Gu Ning. The houses were in the front half of the district, and it was indeed a good position.

"There are five buildings in E zone, and three three-bedroom houses in building E3. However, they aren't on the same floor. Each house is 120 square meters big. There are also four buildings in G zone with three three-bedroom houses in building G2. Two of them are on the ninth floor and the size is relatively larger. It is 160 square meters big with an indoor garden, three rooms and one living room, one study, one kitchen and three bathrooms. There is a large balcony in the living room. Here is a model of the apartment. Please have a look."

Saying that, Wei Zhirui guided Gu Ning to the models area.

Before Gu Ning saw the size of the houses, she had already planned to buy one that was 160 square meters. Although she felt it was a little large for her and her mother alone, fortunately, there were two houses on the same floor; it'll be very lively if the family of Gu Qing also moved in.

Gu Ning was very satisfied with the houses that were 160 square meters, but before she decided she wanted to have a look at its decoration first.

Although Fenghua Luxury Mansion was a high-end district, and its decoration was also of high quality. It was better to have a look in person first.

They took the sightseeing car, and arrived within three minutes.

It could be faster if no one got on and off on the way.

They then took the elevator to the ninth floor. Wei Zhirui opened the door for Gu Ning.

Once they walked in, an indoor garden came into view. There was a shoe cabinet beside the door. A tea table and fish tanks were in the garden. There was however no fish in the fish tank because the house wasn't occupied.

Chapter 79: Buy Houses in Full Payment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the living room, there was a chandelier, sofa, coffee table, carpet, TV cabinet and a TV. The TV was 50 inches large.

In the dining room, there was a dining table and chairs.

In the kitchen, there was a refrigerator, oven, gas stove, range hood, pots and pans. All of them had been packed. They were all brand new. The only things missing were rice, oil, salt and vinegar.

There was also a balcony with a fully automatic washing machine in the kitchen.

In the study, there were bookcases, a desk, a small sofa with three seats and a small coffee table.

In the master bedroom, there was a bathroom, cloakroom, bed, wardrobe and a dressing table.

There were also a toilet, bed, wardrobe, a desk and a chair in the second bedroom.

In the third bedroom, there were a bed, wardrobe, a desk and a chair, but there wasn't a bathroom.

The house had been cleaned often, so it was clean and bright, without dust.

However, if they wanted to move in, it had to be cleaned once more.

"Miss Gu, rest assured. You are a friend of Yifan's so I would never lie to you. The decoration here is absolutely high-standard, and the quality is excellent too. All the furniture has certificates, invoices and warranty cards. You don't need to worry at all," Wei Zhirui said with confidence.

Actually, Gu Ning knew they were of good quality simply by looking at it and touching it.

They went to the second house later. It was the same. Gu Ning then decided to buy those two houses.

Although Wei Zhirui knew it was highly possible that Gu Ning would buy the houses, he was still thrilled to hear the affirmative answer.

Although Wei Zhirui and Qin Yifan were friends, he wasn't from a rich family. He earned everything by working hard. Once he sold a house, he could earn a commission. How could he not be happy?

Wei Zhirui became the sales manager of Fenghua Luxury Mansion, which was a big real estate company, at a young age. He was a very capable man.

"Miss Gu, do you want to pay by full payment or instalments?" Wei Zhirui asked.

"Full payment," Gu Ning answered.

Wei Zhirui was shocked again.

Full payment?

Two 160 square meter, big well-decorated houses in the front position cost around thirteen million yuan.

This girl must be super rich!

To be honest, although Fenghua Luxury Mansion was a high-end residential area and most of the people who lived here were rich, many of them had paid by instalments. There were two thousand households in Fenghua Luxury Mansion currently, but only dozens of them had paid by full payment.

Even those who had dozens of millions of yuan of wealth had paid by instalments.

The sales people could extract the commission from the interest, and the total commission was higher than that of a full payment.

But no one knew how long they could keep their job. Therefore, it was better to have a total commission at once.

"The owners of those two houses won't be the same person. I only brought a copy of one of their ID cards with me, so I'll buy one first, and pay the deposit for the other. I'll pay the full amount tomorrow," Gu Ning said

"No problem," Wei Zhirui answered. He then helped Gu Ning with the legal procedure.

Gu Ning had already prepared a copy of Gu Man's ID card. She only wrote Gu Man's name on the property ownership certificate.

Because the first house was paid by one-time payment, only the copy of an ID card was needed. The second one was a little troublesome. Since it was a house bought after marriage, it was necessary to have a household register, an ID card and a marriage certificate.

Gu Ning would not only write Gu Qing's name on the property ownership certificate because of their intimate relation. She also knew her uncle Jiang Xu was a good man, who treated Gu Qing and Jiang Xinyue very well.

Thus, Gu Ning didn't regard Jiang Xu as an outsider.

"Miss Gu, both of your well-decorated houses are 165 square meters big. The total price is 13.6 million yuan. After the biggest discount I can give you, it is 12.92 million yuan in total," Wei Zhirui said.

"Thanks a lot," Gu Ning thanked him with sincerity.

Gu Ning knew the man had done his best.

And she did appreciate what the man had done for her.

Besides, Wei Zhirui probably could only gain a hundred thousand yuan from that deal.

"The total amount of a house is 6.45 million yuan, and the deposit for the other one is a hundred thousand yuan. Thus Miss Gu, you need to pay 6.55 million yuan now," Wei Zhirui said.

When Wei Zhirui guided Gu Ning to the counter, the cashier was shocked.

What? Full payment? The buyer must be super rich!

Before long, Wei Zhirui finished all the legal documents. Gu Ning already had the key of the house which she and Gu Man would move into today.

Gu Man had actually already recovered and was ready to leave the hospital.

Before Gu Ning left, she left a key with Wei Zhirui. She asked him to help her find an hourly worker. She wanted the house to be cleaned once more before she moved in.

It could of course be handled easily by Wei Zhirui.

Once Gu Ning was gone, the news that Wei Zhirui had sold a house paid by full payment exploded in the entire sales hall. They all asked Wei Zhirui how he did it.

Wei Zhirui didn't keep it a secret. He told his colleagues the buyer was a friend of his friend.

He then told them the buyer planned to buy two houses by full payment today, but she didn't have all the documents with her, so she paid the deposit first. She would come back tomorrow.

Everyone was shocked again.

That girl must be super rich!

It was already 5:30 pm when Gu Ning left. She immediately called Gu Man to invite the family of Gu Qing. She intended to have lunch with all of them to celebrate.

Coincidentally, the family of Gu Qing was in the hospital with Gu Man today.

Therefore, Gu Ning decided to go directly to the hospital.

She planned to visit Gu Man first, then buy some daily necessities on the way back.

She took a taxi to the hospital.

Fenghua Luxury Mansion wasn't far away from the hospital. It only took a dozen minutes to arrive at the hospital if there was no traffic jam, but it was rush hour now so it took Gu Ning almost half an hour.

When she arrived at the hospital, she called An Qian. She told An Qian her mother was about to leave, and she also wanted to invite An Qian for a meal once she was free. Gu Ning also wanted to pay An Qian back for the admission fee.

An Qian refused to take Gu Ning's money. It wasn't much to her. Besides, Gu Ning had saved her life, which was much more priceless.

But she accepted having a meal with Gu Ning. She honestly wanted to make friends with Gu Ning.

Gu Ning didn't argue with An Qian on the phone. She was going to pay her back anyway.

Gu Ning finished the discharge procedure before she went upstairs.

Chapter 80: Gu Man Leaves the Hospital

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the patient room, Gu Ning greeted the family of Gu Qing one by one.

Gu Ning was happy to see that her mother had gained some weight and was more energetic than before.

Gu Man had told Gu Qing and Jiang Xu that Gu Ning had been out to find a house.

"Ningning, have you found a house?" Gu Qing asked Gu Ning when she came in. If Gu Ning failed to find a house, Gu Qing was determined to let them stay with her family so that they would have more time to find a place to live in later.

"I've founded it," Gu Ning answered.

"Really? That's good. Where is the house? Is it safe? How much does it cost a month?" Gu Qing asked.

Gu Ning felt contented receiving the kindness and care from Gu Qing. She smiled with warmth. "It's around the Youyi Road. It's safe and the price is acceptable."

Gu Ning didn't tell them details. It wasn't the appropriate time.

Knowing that Gu Ning was going to buy instead of rent a house, Gu Man was surprised.

Youyi Road was close to the downtown with more blocks than Fenghua Luxury Mansion. Gu Man didn't think of Fenghua Luxury Mansion of course, but the rest of the houses there weren't cheap either.

A house would cost at least two million yuan.

Didn't Ningning still plan to allot some money to investment?

Gu Man always believed that Gu Ning would buy a house in a remote area at the price of one million yuan at the most.

Gu Ning gave her mother a comforting glance. She didn't want to explain everything to them now.

Although Gu Man was surprised, she was also happy to see that Gu Ning could make decisions on her own.

Gu Ning then added, "I've already finished the discharge documents. Now let's pack up and go home! Let's go celebrate!"

"Oh, Gu Man can leave now? That's very good! We must celebrate!" Everyone was delighted to know that Gu Ning had found a house, and that Gu Man was ready to leave the hospital.

Gu Qing thought that Gu Ning and Gu Man were probably on a tight budget now, after they had paid the admission and the VIP patient room fee. Thus she invited them on her own initiative. "This meal is on me. No one is going to compete with me for that."

"No,no. This meal has to be on me. Now, you all need to be mentally prepared, because I have some very important news to tell you later," Gu Ning said seriously.

"What news?" Gu Qing and Jiang Xu were a little worried to see Gu Ning wearing a serious face.

However, although Gu Ning put on a serious face, nothing was actually wrong. Thus Gu Qing and Jiang Xu were slightly relaxed.

Only Gu Man knew what was going on, but if Gu Man had known that Gu Ning had bought two houses in the most expensive area in City F, she would have been completely shocked.

As for Jiang Xinyue, she was curious, but didn't think further.

"Let's go home now. I'll tell you all later," Gu Ning urged.

Since Gu Ning didn't want to tell them now, they all closed their mouths and started to pack up.

"Ningning, who sent those to you? They're too many, and must be expensive!" Gu Qing didn't discover those gifts that Gu Ning had received till now.

"Some are from my schoolmates, some are from a doctor who is my friend in this hospital," Gu Ning answered.

��Schoolmates? They must be super rich!" Gu Qing said with surprise.

Gu Ning didn't say anything else.

They went downstairs and Gu Ning called a taxi on the way out.

Before they even left the hospital, the car was already waiting for them outside.

When the car stopped across Fenghua Luxury Mansion, everyone was amazed by its luxurious buildings. They almost believed that it was where they were going to move in, but no one actually believed it. It was beyond their imagination that Gu Ning was able to buy or rent a house here.

However, there were only tall buildings, shopping malls or hotels around except for those luxurious residential houses.

Thinking of that, Gu Qing asked, "Ningning, are there any houses to rent here?"

Even Gu Man didn't understand why Gu Ning brought them here.

"We lack many daily necessities now so let's go to the supermarket first," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, everyone understood immediately.

Gu Qing said, "Oh, right! You just rented a new house. There must be nothing inside."

Then, the group of them walked into the supermarket.

They mainly bought cookers, ingredients and food, as well as some other daily necessities.

Gu Ning went to buy three sheet sets herself.

They couldn't buy everything they needed in such a short time, so they only bought everything they needed for today.

Gu Man had already quit her job. Gu Ning planned to give her a credit card with a million yuan limit later, so that she could buy anything she wanted.

When they went to pay, the rest all waited outside while Gu Ning settled the bill. No one else knew how much they had spent.

All of them then left the supermarket with large and small bags.

Since only Gu Ning knew the direction, everyone followed her, but when they got to the gate of Fenghua Luxury Mansion, everyone stopped and rounded theirs eyes in shock.

"Ningning, are you going to tell us your house is right in there?" Gu Qing couldn't believe her eyes.

"Ningning, the house price here is so expensive, you…" Even Gu Man couldn't stay quiet now. She was confused.

"Please let's not talk outside. Let's get in first! I promise I'll tell you everything when we're at home," Gu Ning said in an undeniable tone.

The rest were all nervous following Gu Ning to walk inside afterwards.

Even though they walked in, they still couldn't believe it was true.

They got into a sightseeing car, and all were amazed by the scene. They never would have believed that they would have a chance to step in Fenghua Luxury Mansion in their entire lifetime!

The car stopped at G zone. They all got out and walked inside.

On the way, the rest all had countless questions in mind, especially the family of Gu Qing. However, they knew Gu Ning wouldn't say anything till they were home.

They went to the ninth floor by elevator. Gu Ning pulled out the key and opened the door of her house. It was No. 901. Once the door opened, they all stepped inside.
