Chapter 381 Additional Credit Card from Leng Shaoting

Jiang Zhongyu felt cornered because he didn't know why Leng Shaoting didn't tell Master Leng and wasn't sure whether it was appropriate for him to tell Master Leng about the accident.

"Jiang, just tell me!" Master Leng urged. Jiang Zhongyu thought for a while. He believed that maybe Leng Shaoting forgot to mention it to Master Leng, so he said, "Haoyang was kidnapped not long ago; you all knew about it, right?"

"Yes." They nodded.

Leng Shaoxun said, "It was Shaoting who rescued Haoyang!"

"Yes, but the girl who suddenly emerged from beneath the overpass and beat Qin Huiqun was precisely Shaoting's girlfriend!" Jiang Zhongyu said.

"What?" Hearing that, everyone was shocked. To their astonishment, the girl who beat Qin Huiqun was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend! It was so unbelievable!

"I didn't see her in person, but Zhenghua told me that the girl fainted after rescuing Haoyang. She was admitted to the hospital and Zhenghua saw Shaoting sitting at the girl's bedside holding her hand in the patient room," Jiang Zhongyu added.

Holding her hand? Everyone immediately believed that it had to be Leng Shaoting's girlfriend.

Leng Shaoxun instantly took out his phone and watched the video again. Although the girl's face wasn't clear, it was amazing to see her agile movements. In the beginning, everyone thought that Leng Shaoting's girlfriend was an ordinary girl. Unexpectedly, she was very incredible. Is she a female soldier?

Only Master Leng knew that Leng Shaoting's girlfriend was just a senior student in a high school. For the second time, Master Leng had the feeling that Leng Shaoting's girlfriend could be more outstanding than he had expected.

All in all, everyone was amazed by Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, who they hadn't even met yet. Even Leng Yuanqian's family made up their mind to investigate her.

Meanwhile, Leng Shaoting arrived at City F.

Gu Qing and Gu Qing didn't have many friends, so nobody came to visit them during the Spring Festival. Gao Yi and Qiao Ya joined them for dinner today as well.

When it was about time to eat, Gu Ning received Leng Shaoting's call. She made an excuse and left her home without hesitation. The moment that Gu Ning walked out of Zone G, she saw Leng Shaoting standing by the car.

Seeing Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting opened the car door for her. Gu Ning quickly walked towards him and got in the car.

"Happy New Year, this is for you." Leng Shaoting handed a red envelope to Gu Ning after he got in the car.

Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, but she soon realized what was going on. However, the red envelope was pretty thin. "No way, it's so thin. Is there just a single yuan inside?" Gu Ning asked. However, she was just joking.

"Of course not," Leng Shaoting said.

Gu Ning didn't use her Jade Eyes to see what was inside, because she wanted to open the gift in person.

She took it and could immediately tell what was inside from the feel of the envelope. It was a card. Is it a bank card? Gu Ning thought to herself. She was right. There was a credit card in the red envelope.

"Why?" Gu Ning was surprised. She just wanted a red envelope for fun, but he gave her an additional credit card.

"Buy anything you like," Leng Shaoting said.

Although Gu Ning didn't lack money, it showed a man's love for you if he was willing to spend money on you.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll max it out?" Gu Ning asked.

"It's fine. I have more cards." Leng Shaoting didn't care at all. It was good news if Gu Ning maxed his card out because it meant that he was useful in her heart. On the contrary, he was afraid that Gu Ning wouldn't use his card because he knew that Gu Ning didn't lack money.

"Ha-ha," Gu Ning snorted with laughter. "It seems that my boyfriend is super-rich!"

It was a gift from Leng Shaoting, so Gu Ning accepted the additional credit card. She knew what she should do and what she shouldn't, and she absolutely wouldn't use Leng Shaoting's card for no reason. She didn't lack money, and she wasn't used to spending a man's money either, but if it was a gift from her boyfriend, she would love to use it.

Leng Shaoting flushed a little and asked, "What do you want to have for dinner?"

"No idea, what's your opinion?" Gu Ning asked.

Leng Shaoting thought for a while, "Let's go to a nearby restaurant."

"Great!" Gu Ning replied. During the meal, Gu Ning received Chu Peihan's call. Chu Peihan invited her to see the fireworks show at Qingjiang Square at 10 pm. It wasn't allowed to set off fireworks in cities, so people could only do it in an empty space far from the downtown. Qingjiang Square was at the riverside, and people were used to setting off fireworks there during the Spring Festival. Gu Ning thought for a while and agreed.

Su Anya called soon after Gu Ning ended the call with Chu Peihan. She also invited Gu Ning to watch the fireworks show. Although Gu Ning and her friends weren't very close to Su Anya yet, they were willing to be friendly to her. Therefore, Gu Ning invited her to watch the show along with them.

After dinner, Gu Ning went there with Leng Shaoting.

The firework show began at 10 pm, but Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived at 8:30 pm.

Apart from the fireworks show, there were many fun activities in Qingjiang Square too, like Chinese lanterns, acrobatics performance and so forth.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to buy two flower lanterns. They wrote down their wishes and put the flower lanterns on the river. After that, they went to buy sky lanterns and set them free into the air.

A short time later, Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi arrived, followed by Mu Ke and An Yi. They all greeted Leng Shaoting when they saw him.

Su Anya arrived afterward, and there were two other pretty girls by her side. One was around 15 years old, while the other was around 20 years old.

"Gu Ning, it has been a while! Did you forget me already? If I hadn't called you today, you probably wouldn't have invited me to have fun with you guys!" Seeing Gu Ning, Su Anya ran over and hugged her.

They had only met Su Anya three times since they had known each other, but they all got along quite well.

Chapter 382 Sorry, We Are Single!

Gu Ning was Su Anya's life-saver, so she always admired and appreciated Gu Ning. If Gu Ning hadn't helped her in that dangerous situation, Su Anya would probably be dead now.

"Impossible! I'm just afraid that you're busy, and I planned to call you on your birthday!" Gu Ning smiled. Su Anya was from a super-rich family, so she wasn't as free as others.

"Well, if you don't call me, how could you know whether I'm busy or not?" Su Anya said.

"Alright, it's my fault. Let me pay for your night snacks!" Gu Ning said.

"Well, that doesn't sound bad." Su Anya was satisfied.

"Ha! You're so excited to see Gu Ning and hugged her, but you ignored the rest of us!" Chu Peihan complained.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Su Anya felt a little embarrassed and greeted them at once. "Happy New Year, everyone!"

"Happy New Year!" everyone said.

"Oh, please let me introduce you," Su Anya said to them. "This is my younger cousin, Su Anhao, and this is my older cousin, Jin Kexin." Su Anhao was the younger one, while Jin Kexin was the older girl. However, when Su Anya introduced Jin Kexin, she seemed displeased. Obviously, she disliked her older cousin.

Gu Ning also hated Jin Kexin's attitude towards Leng Shaoting, because she kept staring at Leng Shaoting like he was her prey. Even though Leng Shaoting didn't look at Jin Kexin at all, Gu Ning was still unhappy.

After that, Su Anya introduced her friends to her cousins, "These are all my good friends. Gu Ning, Chu Peihan, Yu Mixi, Mu Ke, An Yi, and this is…"

Su Anya didn't notice Leng Shaoting until now, and she was stunned. "Wow, he's so handsome. Gu Ning, is this your boyfriend?" Su Anya was just guessing, because the man stood right behind Gu Ning, and the two looked so beautiful together.

"Bingo! You're right," Chu Peihan said.

Hearing that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning's boyfriend, Jin Kexin was a little disappointed, but she didn't give up. Instead, she was excited.

"Ah!" Su Anya was surprised. "Nice to meet you, and happy New Year, brother-in-law!"

Leng Shaoting was happy to hear Su Anya call him, brother-in-law and replied politely, "Nice to meet you too, and happy New Year." When Chu Peihan and the others greeted Leng Shaoting earlier, he didn't say much at all.

Gu Ning noticed Leng Shaoting's different reaction and understood what was on his mind. She was amused. At this moment, Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping arrived.

"Hi, happy New Year!" they said with excitement.

"Alright, we're all together now. Let's have a look around before the fireworks show begins!" Chu Peihan proposed.

In the following hour, the group of them ambled around. After a long while, Yu Mixi and Gu Ning went to the ladies' room while the others waited outside.

Seeing that Gu Ning was absent, and the others were busy chatting, while Leng Shaoting stood by himself, Jin Kexin sized the chance to flirt with him.

"Hi, nice to meet you. My name's Jin Kexin," she said.

"Jin Kexin, what are you doing?" Su Anya criticized. She knew what her older cousin planned to do.

In the beginning, nobody thought that it was inappropriate when Jin Kexin went to talk with Leng Shaoting. So when Su Anya snapped at her, everyone was confused.

"I just thought that he's alone and bored, so I wanted to chat with him," Jin Kexin said and acted as if she was an innocent child.

They didn't talk with Leng Shaoting, because they knew that Leng Shaoting wasn't talkative and only loved to chat with Gu Ning. They had no intention to shut him out.

"Stop acting! I know what kind of person you are. If you dare to hurt my friend, I'll teach you a lesson!" Su Anya wouldn't believe anything that Jin Kexin had said and warned her plainly. It was her mother who had forced her to bring Jin Kexin out.

Hao Ran and the other boys were too young, so Jin Kexin wouldn't flirt with them. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning's boyfriend came here too. And the man was too sexy to be ignored.

Jin Kexin was pretty on the outside, but she was actually a dreadful flirt. She never missed a chance to flirt with handsome men and her next step was always to get laid.

Su Anya had no interest in Jin Kexin's personal affairs, nor did she tell her family, but if Jin Kexin dared to hurt her friends, she would get revenge on her without a doubt.

Hearing what Su Anya had said, everyone immediately understood that Jin Kexin wasn't as pretty on the inside as she was on the outside. Therefore, they were all on alert now. None of them would allow her to hurt their best friend.

Jin Kexin had to give up her plan under the pressure of them for now, but she would find another chance to try again.

Gu Ning and Yu Mixi walked out later. Gu Ning noticed that everyone looked at Jin Kexin unkindly. Although she didn't know what had happened, it was obvious that Jin Kexin had done something wrong and annoyed everyone.

Is it because of Leng Shaoting? Thinking of that, Gu Ning was mad, but she didn't say anything.

Leng Shaoting's sight was on Gu Ning the entire time, once she appeared. He clasped her hand at once.

"Sorry, we are single! And it hurts!" Hao Ran covered his chest all of a sudden like he was in great pain.

"Find yourself a girlfriend then!" Chu Peihan teased.

"I want to, but how?" Hao Ran complained.

"We have many single girls here. Isn't there anyone you like?" Qin Zixun asked

Chapter 383 Fireworks Show

Hao Ran sighed and agonized. "We're too familiar to date each other. I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to be good friends any longer if it doesn't work."

Although Hao Ran hadn't fallen in love with any of his good female friends, what he said was right. They were teenagers now, and nobody could promise that they wouldn't change. However, while Hao Ran was saying that, Mu Ke gave Yu Mixi a resigned glance. Obviously, he agreed with Hao Ran. Yu Mixi had no idea that Mu Ke had glanced at her, but Gu Ning noticed it and was surprised. Does Mu Ke admire Yu Mixi?

It was their personal affairs and Gu Ning wouldn't get involved, but as their good friend, she would love to help if she could, so she said, "You're right. However, when you truly like someone and want to build your future together with them, you won't hesitate or worry so much, because nobody can foresee what we'll be like."

Hearing what Gu Ning said, Mu Ke seemed to cheer up a little, but Gu Ning didn't know what he was thinking deep down in his heart. "Alright, it's almost 10 pm. Let's go back to the square!"

Afterward, the group of them walked to the square together.

Given what had just happened outside of the ladies' room, Hao Ran and the others deliberately kept Jin Kexin away from Leng Shaoting. Even though they knew that Jin Kexin couldn't steal Leng Shaoting away from Gu Ning, as Gu Ning's close friends, they still didn't want Jin Kexin to be near Leng Shaoting or Gu Ning.

Jin Kexin understood why they were doing it. She was so mad, but couldn't do anything about it.

When they arrived at the square, there were a lot more people there than before. The place where the fireworks were placed had been separated because people might be injured by the falling fireworks if they came too close.

There were many kinds of fireworks on the empty space, and the workers were ready to set them off once it was time. Once 10 pm struck, the workers started to set off the fireworks in sequence.

"Boom!"

Please go and support our new domain mangabyte.com

Following the loud explosive sound, "small missiles" flew into the air one by one, and a large group of fireworks like a handle with huge umbrellas exploded in the air. A cluster of dazzling lights were illuminating the night sky, like a clump of flowers in full bloom which was floating with golden powder. A series of fireworks burst high in the air. And finally, like countless meteors with long tails, those fireworks reluctantly slipped from the night sky.

"Wow, it's so amazing!" people kept praising the show.

The night sky was as bright as the day with the effects of fireworks, and the shapes along with the colors of the fireworks changed the entire time. Various images of animals and Chinese characters were shown in the air. The firework show lasted for half an hour, and then they went to have a night snack.

Jin Kexin had no chance to get closer to Leng Shaoting from the beginning to the end, which greatly upset her, but she could do nothing about it.

After the night snack, Leng Shaoting drove Gu Ning home. Chu Peihan and Hao Ran who had cars would drive the others back. Su Anya also drove here today, so she would go home on her own.

Leng Shaoting didn't leave for Xu Jinchen's apartment until he sent Gu Ning back to Zone G and she had disappeared from his sight. It was the Spring Festival, so it wasn't appropriate for Gu Ning to stay out for the night.

When she got home, Gu Ning received Yu Mixi's message. Yu Mixi asked Gu Ning what she should give Su Anya as a birthday gift. Gu Ning thought for a while. Su Anya was from a super-rich family, after all, so they couldn't give a gift that was too cheap, but Yu Mixi was still a student, so it wasn't necessary for her to give Su Anya a very expensive one either.

Therefore, Gu Ning advised Yu Mixi to buy a Chanel wallet. Yu Mixi had just won a lot of money at Dihao Clubhouse, so it wasn't difficult for her to buy a designer brand wallet.

As for the formal clothing, both Gu Ning and Yu MIxi would wear the same set they had worn to attend Master Qin's birthday party. They were students and there was no need for them to waste money on gowns.

The next day, Gu Ning used an excuse that she was going to visit her friends. However, she actually went to meet Leng Shaoting. And she didn't come back home until it was very late as usual.

When Gu Ning got back, Gu Man wasn't asleep yet, so Gu Ning tried to bring the topic up. "Mom, I'm leaving for university soon, and you'll be alone at home. Don't you want to date another man?"

Hearing that, Gu Man was struck dumb for a second, but she soon calmed down. "Ningning, don't worry about me. I'm used to being alone."

"Mom, are you still missing my biological father?" Gu Ning asked.

Gu Man's body stiffened for a second. It was obvious that she thought of her good old memories, but she didn't say a word. Gu Ning realized that Gu Man had to be thinking of Tang Yunfan. "Mom, have you ever thought that you couldn't find his body, so maybe he never really died?"

Hearing that, Gu Man's body stiffened again. "If he didn't die, why didn't he come back to me?"

Without a doubt, Gu Man had also thought about that possibility, but he had never appeared again, so she believed that he had to be dead because she refused to think that he was a selfish man.

"You told me before that he lost his memory when he met you. Maybe, he got his memory back after the car accident, but coincidentally lost the memory of when he was with you!" Gu Ning deduced from all the information she knew.

"Is it possible?" Gu Man regained hope, but couldn't believe that it was possible.

"If he's still alive, but just forgot what happened during the year when he was with you; if he's not married yet; if he still loves you; if-I mean if you still have chance to meet each other again, would you give it a try?" Gu Ning asked with caution.

Gu Man remained silent because she had no idea herself. She would be lying if she said that she didn't miss him, but she wasn't sure whether her love towards the man in the past would continue when they met each other again after 18 years.

Gu Ning wouldn't force Gu Man to give her the answer. She also believed that it was meaningless to worry about that right now. They would know the answer once they met each other once more!

During the night, Gu Man kept thinking about what Gu Ning had said to her and what she had been through during that year. It was a long night without any sleep.

Although Gu Man had been with "Ning" for only a year, what she had gotten during that year, namely love and care, was something her cruel family could not provide. Therefore, she had been deeply in love with the man, and unable to forget him.

Chapter 384 Rescue Yuan Jisong

Otherwise, in the highly conservative past, she wouldn't have had sex with Ning before marriage and even given birth to his child. During the past 18 years, she had never thought to marry another man. Although it had ruined her reputation because she was pregnant before marriage, there had been other men who had proposed to her, but she had turned them down. Thus, Gu Man indeed loved Tang Yunfan deeply.

Although she thought what Gu Ning had said wasn't likely to be possible, she couldn't help hoping it was true. She wasn't sure whether she would still have the same affection towards Tang Yunfan now like she had loved Ning in the past, but Tang Yunfan was the only man she had loved throughout her lifetime. He was her child's father, so she hoped that he could have a good life; even if he was already married and had his own family now. The next day when Gu Man got up, she had quite obvious dark circles.

Gu Ning felt sorry for her mother, but they had to face it sooner or later. After all, Gu Man still loved Tang Yunfan and Tang Yunfan was also missing her, which was the reason why he wasn't willing to get married. They had fallen deeply in love with each other and had a baby in the past. If Gu Man would choose a man to spend the rest of her life with, Gu Ning hoped that the man was Tang Yunfan.

Gu Ning massaged Gu Man and used her magical power to relieve Gu Man's fatigue. Gu Man was going to visit her friend, Wang Sufen, today. Wang Sufen was the one who had sent Gu Man to the hospital when Gu Man had fainted at work.

Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to follow Gu Man today, because they were both free, while Gu Ning went on a date with Leng Shaoting. The two didn't know what to do today, so they simply ambled on the road. Even so, they enjoyed being together.

"Ningning," Leng Shaoting called her.

"What?" Gu Ning replied.

"Ningning," Leng Shaoting called her again.

"What?" Gu Ning looked at Leng Shaoting with confusion.

"Nothing just wanted to call your name," Leng Shaoting said.

Gu Ning was amused and teased. "Does my name sounds very beautiful?"

"Of course it does," Leng Shaoting said with sincerity.

"Well, go on then!" Gu Ning said.

"Ningning!" Leng Shaoting called once more, and Gu Ning laughed.

The two walked to the government center and the view was quite pleasant. There was a large park with trees and stone trails. Many citizens would come here to have a walk.

At that moment, a government car stopped in the parking lot in front of an office building. Two men got out of it afterward. Gu Ning recognized one of them at first glance. The man was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in City F, Yuan Jisong. And he was followed by his secretary. However, when they had just gotten out of the car, a crazy man with a knife in his hand dashed out from nowhere and yelled, "Yuan Jisong, go to hell!"

Yuan Jisong was shocked still, so was his secretary and the people around them. However, right as the knife was about to touch Yuan Jisong's chest, a person ran over like lighting and kicked the crazy man away. With a sharp sound, the knife cut through Yuan Jisong's clothing over his chest. There was an open cut, but luckily the knife didn't hurt the skin.

Gu Ning was the person who kicked the crazy man away in time. And once the crazy man was kicked away, Leng Shaoting went ahead and caught him.

"Let me go! Let me go!" The crazy man struggled violently, but Leng Shaoting got complete control of him, and he could only yell like a maniac.

The crazy man's yell aroused Yuan Jisong and his secretary's consciousness. Yuan Jisong could barely stand straight; he could have been killed just then. The secretary was scared too, but he wasn't the killer's target, so he was soon able to move. "Are you alright, Mr. Yuan?"

"Ye-yes." Yuan Jisong's voice was trembling, and he was still frightened, but he tried his best to calm down. Meanwhile, nearby security guards ran over at once and took the crazy man from Leng Shaoting's hands. However, the crazy man kept shouting, "Yuan Jisong, I'll kill you! I'll kill you now! If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been dismissed!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Yuan Jisong calmed himself down and looked to the man coldly. "If you hadn't behaved illegally, you wouldn't have been fired! You've asked for the result yourself, so you can't blame others for that! Take him away now."

The security guards instantly took the crazy man away.

After that, Yuan Jisong turned to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. He bowed and thanked them with sincerity. "Thank you so much for saving my life!"

"Mr. Yuan, please don't say that. We're glad that you're safe," Gu Ning said.

Yuan Jisong was an upright official. If he had been a corrupt official, Gu Ning wouldn't have helped him. Although there were no people who were 100% good in this world, as long as he did his job well, he was a qualified government worker.

"You've saved my life so you're my life-saver!" Yuan Jisong said. He didn't think that others should serve him just because he had a high social status. If Gu Ning hadn't kicked the crazy man away in time, he would have been killed or severely injured.

Yuan Jisong took a name card out of his pocket and gave it to Gu Ning. "This is my name card. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can call me for help, but it has to be legal."

"Thanks!" Gu Ning, of course, wouldn't reject it. "Mr. Yuan, what just happened will certainly go abroad soon. Please don't expose me to the news. I don't want to attract a lot of attention."

Gu Ning was modest, kind and kept a low profile, which left a good impression on Yuan Jisong.

"Sure," Yuan Jisong said. He would respect her wants. And then they separated.

As for what Gu Ning had done in such a dangerous situation, Leng Shaoting didn't blame her but clasped her hand. He was still worried about her safety. Although he knew that Gu Ning was good at kung fu, he still cared about her more than anyone

else.

The news that the Secretary of Municipal Party Committee, Yuan Jisong, had almost been stabbed went viral on the Internet soon.

Chapter 385 Su Anya's Birthday

Big News: The Secretary of Municipal Party Committee in City F, Yuan Jisong, was stabbed by a crazy man at the outside of the Government Center. A young girl kicked the crazy man away on time and her partner caught the criminal. (Photo Attached]

The photo was taken after Yuan Jisong was rescued because everyone was shocked at that time, and none of them were in the mood to take pictures.

Before long, someone exposed the criminal's identity. The crazy man was the vice director of the Finance Department, Zhang Chao. He had been found guilty of power abuse by Yuan Jisong and had been dismissed. Zhang Chao cared too much about fame and money, so he went crazy after his dismissal, and came to attack Yuan Jisong. Zhang Chao was sentenced to 10 years in jail in the beginning, but now it seemed like he would end up with a life sentence.

People all complimented the young girl who had rescued Yuan Jisong from the sharp knife. The photo was taken from afar, so Gu Ning's and Leng Shaoting's faces weren't clear, but Hao Ran and the others who were familiar with them recognized them at once. They all called Gu Ning to ask whether she was safe.

Gu Ning's phone kept ringing the entire time, but she didn't lose her patience, because she knew that they cared about her.

Many reporters came to interview Yuan Jisong after the accident. They were curious about the young girl who had saved Yuan Jisong's life, but Yuan Jisong declined to reveal more details about her. And people admired the low-profile young girl more.

Leng Shaoting was assigned a task a few days later and he had to leave.

The night before Leng Shaoting left, Gu Ning stayed with him.

Leng Shaoting didn't know when he would see Gu Ning the next time, so he touched, kissed and made love to her again and again throughout the night. Gu Ning almost passed out from the wild lovemaking. Luckily, she had her magical power to support her.

"Ningning," Leng Shaoting called in a hoarse but amorous voice.

"Yes," Gu Ning moaned in pleasure, which turned Leng Shaoting on once more. They didn't stop for a break until they were both exhausted. However, Leng Shaoting still held Gu Ning in his arms tightly even during the break.

"Shaoting, we didn't use condoms. What if I'm pregnant?" Gu Ning suddenly asked. She had used her power to protect her womb and stopped Leng Shaoting's sperms from getting inside. Gu Ning simply asked the question to test Leng Shaoting. To be honest, Gu Ning was nervous when she asked that question because she was afraid that Leng Shaoting would tell her to have an abortion.

Leng Shaoting's body stiffened a little when he heard the question. He had never thought about it, but if Gu Ning really was pregnant, he wouldn't mind at all. Instead, he was looking forward to it. "Let's get married then," he said with alacrity.

Hearing that, Gu Ning's heart pounded heavily a few times. Although she believed that Leng Shaoting was a reliable man, she was excited and deeply touched when she heard the answer.

"I don't want to get married or have a child at such a young age," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was anxious. He pressed Gu Ning to him and felt a little helpless. "Then what should we do?"

Although Leng Shaoting was willing to marry Gu Ning so that they could be together as a married couple, he didn't want Gu Ning to feel cornered. Seeing Leng Shaoting being so anxious, Gu Ning comforted him. "There, there, we can use condoms the next time to avoid pregnancy. And we can get engaged when it's the right time. We can get married after my graduation."

Leng Shaoting immediately relaxed.

Su Anya's birthday came soon, and she called everyone early in the morning, in case they forgot. She informed them to come to her house at 4 pm to get ready for the party. Su Anya's home was in the same area of villas as Qin Yifan.

Please go and support our new domain mangabyte.com

Gu Ning had a strange feeling when she set out to attend the birthday party, but she failed to foresee anything. In case any accident would happen, Gu Ning left her home along with Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.

Gu Ning went to pick Yu Mixi up first, while Chu Peihan picked Mu Ke and An Yi up, and Hao Ran would drive his bros to the appointed location.

It was only 3:30 pm and the party would begin at 6 pm. None of the important figures in politics and business would arrive until it was past 5 pm. Therefore, Gu Ning and the others didn't wear their formal clothing yet, and they decided to change later.

When they were almost there, Gu Ning called Su Anya. Thus, the moment that Gu Ning arrived, she saw Su Anya waiting at the gate.

Although the Su family and the Qin family lived in the same area of villas, their houses were located in opposite directions, and there was a long distance in the middle.

Su Anya ran to them the moment they got out of the car. "Gu Ning, Mixi, welcome!"

Su Anhao and Jin Kexin were also there, and Jin Kexin was disappointed when she saw that Leng Shaoting was absent. Gu Ning noticed that. She was a little mad but directly ignored Jin Kexin.

"Let me introduce, this is Gao Yi, and this is Qiao Ya. Both of them are my drivers, bodyguards, and assistants," Gu Ning said to Su Anya. Gu Ning had told Su Anya on the phone that morning that she would be coming with two other friends, so Su Anya wasn't surprised.

"Nice to meet you!" Su Anya greeted them.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Su," Gao Yi and Qiao Ya said.

"The others aren't here yet. Let's go inside! It's cold outside." Su Anya guided them walking inside.

Just as they entered the living room, a middle-aged, elegant woman walked forward. She was Su Anya's mother. Su Anya had an older brother who was 23 years old, so Su Anya's mother was almost 50 years old now, but she was still charming because she took good care of her appearance.

"Mom, these are all my friends, Gu Ning, Yu Mixi, Gao Yi, and Qiao Ya," Su Anya said to her mother.

"Nice to meet you all! Welcome to Anya's birthday party," Mrs. Su said politely. She didn't ask about their family backgrounds at all, because her family wasn't snobbish.

Chapter 386 Hypocritical Expression

Besides, Mrs. Su understood that her daughter never made friends with random people. Since she introduced them as her friends, they had to be good people.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Su!" everyone said.

After that, Su Anya pulled Gu Ning aside and introduced her again with seriousness. "Mom, she is the one that saved my life that I told you about!"

Mrs. Su was surprised at first then thanked Gu Ning with sincerity, "Thank you so much, Miss Gu!"

"You're welcome, Mrs. Su," Gu Ning said politely.

"Lifesaver?" Hearing that, Su Anhao and Jin Kexin were shocked. "Aunt, what happened?" Jin Kexin asked.

"None of your business!" Before Mrs. Su could say a word, Su Anya interrupted. She really hated Jin Kexin.

"Anya, mind your words!" Mrs. Su criticized. She knew that Su Anya never liked Jin Kexin, but they were cousins, and it was inappropriate for Su Anya to be so rude to Jin Kexin right in front of others.

"Aunt, it's my fault," Jin Kexin said and acted as if she had been bullied. In fact, Jin Kexin was jealous of Su Anya and hated her very much as well, but Su Anya's family was super-rich and the Jin Family had to maintain a good relationship with the Su family. In that case, Jin Kexin didn't dare to argue with Su Anya face to face. Instead, she would play innocent and use many tricks to trap Su Anya. Su Anya's parents had criticized Su Anya many times because of that. Seeing Su Anya being criticized by her mother, Jin Kexin felt much better.

On the contrary, watching Jin Kexin's hypocritical expression, Su Anya was really annoyed, but she didn't say anything, in case her friends would get involved in this mess.

"Let's go sit inside!" Su Anya said to Gu Ning and ignored Jin Kexin.

"Oh, right. Come on in and have a seat please!" Mrs. Su said.

The group of them was then seated. Mrs. Su told domestic servants to serve fruits and cups of tea to them and they were chatting while eating desserts. Mrs. Su didn���t show any disdain because they were the younger generation. Instead, she was quite talkative and amiable.

Mrs. Su would ask Gu Ning about her hobbies, study and so forth, but never asked about her family background.

A few minutes later, Chu Peihan, Hao Ran and the others arrived, and Su Anya went to welcome them.

They were all from super-rich families, so Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and An Yi had met Mrs. Su before. Mrs. Su was surprised that they were Su Anya's friends too. Su Anya kept a low profile all the time, and wasn't willing to make friends with the younger generation from super-rich families, because she thought that they were always arrogant and not easygoing.

"Hi, Mrs. Su!" Hao Ran, An Yi, and Qin Zixun said politely.

"Hi, welcome and come on in!" Mrs. Su invited them to sit with her.

Before long, Su Anya's father, Su Zhenhao came inside. There was another middle-aged man with him. However, the moment Su Zhenhao appeared in Gu Ning's sight, Gu Ning was shocked, because Su Zhenhao looked very pale and his forehead appeared dark black. Obviously, Su Zhenhao was being affected by Yin.

Gu Ning had the intention to rescue him, but not right then. Moreover, she wouldn't rescue people for no reason. The Su family was quite influential in City F, so she would choose the right time to give him a helping hand. As long as the Su family owed her, the connection between them would be stable.

Gu Ning wasn't selfish, but she was building a strong network. Apart from that, Gu Ning wasn't Saint Mary. She would help people out of kindness, but she would also seize the chance to maximize her benefits.

"Dad!" Su Anya ran to her father at once and held his arm. "Dad, come here and let me introduce my friends to you."

"Oh, your friends?" Su Zhenhao was surprised by the fact that Su Anya had friends and was willing to invite them to visit her home.

Su Zhenhao walked over, and Gu Ning and the others immediately stood up. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Su!"

"Hi, Uncle Su!" Hao Ran and those who were familiar with Su Zhenhao greeted him more casually.

"Uncle, dad," Jin Kexin called them. The middle-aged man who was with Su Zhenhao was Jin Kexin's father!

"Hi, Uncle Su and Uncle Jin," Su Anhao said with respect.

"Oh, you're all here!" Su Zhenhao beamed when he saw Hao Ran, An Yi, and Qin Zixun.

Su Anya introduced Gu Ning and the others to her father again. "Dad, Gu Ning is the lifesaver that I've told you about!"

Hearing that Gu Ning was Su Anya's lifesaver, Su Zhenhao immediately thanked Gu Ning with sincerity. "Miss Gu, thank you so much for rescuing my daughter! If you encounter any troubles in City F in the future, please feel free to call me." The Su family was generous, and Gu Ning had saved was Su Anya's life.

"It's my pleasure," Gu Ning said.

"Lifesaver? What happened to Anya?" Jin Kexin's father, Jin Jingwei, asked with concern.

"Anya was almost hit by a car. It was Miss Gu who rescued Anya at the key moment," Su Zhenhao said but didn't tell them the details.

After the accident had happened, the Su family had gotten revenge on both Gao Yuchen's and Wu Xinyu's families. If it hadn't been for the fact that the younger generation, instead of their parents, had made the mistake, Su Zhenhao would have unseated the two families. Nevertheless, the Wu family had been unseated by Gu Ning a few days ago. Wu Lianqin's father was precisely Wu Lianqin.

"Oh, thank you so much, Miss Gu," Jin Jingwei said, but Gu Ning caught the touch of disappointment which flashed through his eyes. It seemed that Jin Jingwei hoped that Su Anya would be in danger. Jin Kexin had the same disappointed look. She also wanted Su Anya to be hit by the car.

Gu Ning sneered quietly. Like father, like daughter. Both Jin Jingwei and JIn Kexin hoped that Su Anya, the Su family to be specific, would be in trouble. It was obvious that the Jin family was scheming against the Su family.

"I won't bother you any longer, I need to discuss something with Jinwei in the study," Su Zhenhao said and walked upstairs with Jin Jingwei.

They chatted for a while longer. And when it was almost 5 pm, guests started coming in twos and threes. Su Anya together with the girls, except for Jin Kixen, went to change in her room.

Chapter 387 Party Begins

Jin Kexin had a room in the Su family's house, so she went back to her room to change.

All the members of the Su family lived in this same villa. Master Su's elder son's family lived on the second floor while Master Su's younger son's family shared the third floor.

Gao Yi went to get Gu Ning and Yu Mixi's formal clothes out of the car, and Chu Peihan asked Hao Ran to help her get her gown.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring gowns? I have plenty of them here, and they're all new!" Su Anya said.

"It's fine, we prefer to wear our own dresses," Gu Ning replied.

Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to wait in the front hall and went upstairs with Su Anya. Su Anya's room was on the second floor, while Su Anhao's was on the third floor.

As for the boys, they came here already wearing their formal suits.

Please go and support our new domain mangabyte.com

Su Anya's room was decorated like a princess's room. It was pink everywhere, which didn't match Su Anya's boyish character at all. Therefore, Chu Peihan laughed the moment she walked inside. "Jesus! I had no idea that you liked this style! I suddenly doubt your age now."

"It's my mom! I can't do anything about it," Su Anya retorted. Afterward, they started to put on their makeup and gowns.

Guests were arriving continuously, and all of them had received invitation letters from the Su family. The Su family was the well-known super-rich family in City F, and so their guests were also important figures.

Su Zhenhao and Mrs. Su went to welcome their guests in person, and each of the guests came with a prepared birthday gift. All the gifts were either designer brands or custom-made. None of them were cheap or common.

When Gu Ning and the girls were all dressed up, it was almost 6 pm.

Gu Ning's gown wasn't very noticeable but she had an air of natural nobility and elegance. Nobody could move their eyes away from her once she appeared in their sight.

"Jesus! Ningning, are you here to grab people's attention from me? Oh, no, you simply want me to fall love with you!" Su Anya teased.

Although Su Anya was joking, she had to admit that Gu Ning was too attractive to be ignored.

"Ha-ha." Chu Peihan laughed out. "No way, Gu Ning already has a boyfriend."

"Well, I can wait!" Su Anya joked.

"Come on, Anya. Look at you! You have no idea how charming you are!" Gu Ning said. However, she wasn't comforting Su Anya. Su Anya was quite stunning today. She was wearing a long, tight dress, which accentuated her unusually thin waist. The end of the dress spread on the floor and moved lightly when Su Anya walked. Even though Gu Ning was attractive, nobody would ignore Su Anya.

"Of course I am!" Su Anya said with confidence.

To be honest, Su Anya didn't like such formal parties. She would rather drink and have fun in a bar with her friends. It was simple but enjoyable. However, as a child who was born in a super-rich family, Su Anya knew that she couldn't just do anything she liked. Today was her birthday party, but it was more like a social party for celebrities. No important figures would bother to attend her birthday party. All the attendees came here to build or enhance their network.

Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door. "Anya, the party is about to begin. Are you ready yet?" Su Anhao asked.

"Yes, we'll be right out!" Su Anya said and walked out with the other girls.

Jin Kexin's room was on the first floor too, so she was waiting for Su Anya along with Su Anhao. When Su Anya and the other girls walked out, Jin Kexin was stunned and felt green with envy.

Jin Kexin was good-looking too. She was in a mid-length dress with many small pearls as decoration and had her hair in a bun. A pair of crystal high-heels made her long, slim calves look more beautiful, but when she stood with Su Anya and the other girls, she seemed less noticeable, and she was mad about that.

Other than that, not to mention Su Anya, the other girls were also gorgeous. Gu Ning was elegant; Chu Peihan was sexy while Yu Mixi was full of energy.

"Let's go!" Su Anya said, and guided the other girls, walking downstairs. Jin Kexin was left behind by herself. When a group of young, pretty girls walked down the stairs, everyone in the hall was stunned. They all looked upward to appreciate the beautiful scenery. And although Gu Ning attracted a lot of attention, Su Anya was still the focus.

Many rich second-generation heirs also turned to people around them asking for Gu Ning and the other girls' identities.

"They're all Anya's friends. Mind your manners, boys!" Su Zhenhao warned. Those girls were all his daughter's good friends, especially Gu Ning, so he wouldn't allow those playboys to annoy them. Hearing Su Zhenhao's warning, many rich second-generation heirs closed their mouths, but some of them didn't mind.

"Oh, isn't that Gu Ning?" Hao Ran's mother recognized Gu Ning because Gu Ning was wearing the same gown.

"It is!" Mrs. Lu said with surprise.

Other than Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, many other guests who had attended Master Qin's birthday party before recognized Gu Ning too.

Yuan Jisong was standing right by Su Zhenhao's side. "It's her!" He was also surprised.'

Chapter 388 Unbelievable Network

"Who?" Su Zhenhao was confused looking to Yuan Jisong

"Gu Ning," Yuan Jisong said.

Su Zhenhao was surprised. "Do you know Gu Ning?"

Su Zhenhao and Yuan Jisong had gone to the same high school, and they were close friends. Most importantly, what they had achieved today relied on their family background, and their support to each other was also indispensable. Because of their close relationship, others had even mistaken them as a couple of gays!

"She's the girl who saved my life," Yuan Jisong said.

"What?" Hearing that, Su Zhenhao was astonished.

Yuan Jisong had told him the gravity of the situation. If the young girl hadn't dashed out to rescue him, the knife would have been stabbed into his chest. Since Gu Ning was able to rescue a person in such a dangerous situation, she must be surprisingly agile. Thinking of the attack, let alone Yuan Jisong, even Su Zhenhao felt scared.

Su Anya was about to walk into the front hall. Su Zhenhao curbed his astonishment towards Gu Ning and walked to Su Anya's side. He faced the crowd and smiled. "Thank you so much for attending Anya's birthday party! Please enjoy yourself!"

Everyone congratulated and toasted the 18th birthday of Su Anya with champagne.

A short while after Gu Ning and the other girls entered the front hall, Su Anya was pulled away by Mrs. Su to chat with their guests. Hao Ran and the others then came to gather with the girls.

Yuan Jisong walked to Gu Ning and said, "Hi, Gu Ning, nice to see you again." Yuan Jisong didn't show any disrespect because Gu Ning was much younger than him. She was his lifesaver after all!

"Hi!" Gu Ning smiled.

Many people around them saw Yuan Jisong greeting Gu Ning on his own initiative, and were all surprised. The rich playboys who wanted to pick Gu Ning and the other girls up stopped their steps right away.

"Hi, Mr. Yuan." Gu Ning's friends also greeted Yuan Jisong. They were all aware of what Gu Ning had done, so they weren't surprised that Yuan Jisong would come to greet Gu Ning.

Yuan Jisong nodded to them as response and said, "Well, I won't bother you any longer, so I'll go over there to talk with my friends."

In fact, Yuan Jisong intentionally walked to Gu Ning and greeted her, because he had noticed that some rich playboys were aiming at Gu Ning and the other girls. He did it to warn them to stay away.

"Ha-ha, Girl Gu, happy to see you again!" Gu Changjiang and Qin Haozheng walked to them after Yuan Jisong left.

"Hi, Master Gu, Master Qin." Gu Ning smiled.

Qin Haozheng was a little embarrassed to see Gu Ning, "Girl Gu, I'm sorry for what Yiqing did to you. Please accept my apologies."

"What happened?" Gu Changjiang was puzzled. He knew that Qin Yiqing wasn't a kind girl, and Qin Haozheng apologized to Gu Ning because of her, so Gu Changjiang thought that Qin Yiqing must have annoyed Gu Ning.

"Please don't mind it, Master Qin. It was just a misunderstanding. I already forgot it," Gu Ning said. Otherwise, she wouldn't have helped Qin Yiqing in the shopping mall the other day.

"Thanks," Qin Haozheng said. It was Qin Yiqing's fault after all.

"It's no big deal," Gu Ning said.

Qin Haozheng opened his mouth wanting to say something but didn't say it in the end. "Well, then see you around."

After that, Qin Haozheng and Gu Changjiang stepped away.

Qin Haozheng intended to talk about Qin Yifan because he wasn't in a good condition because of Gu Ning. However, since Gu Ning had already rejected him, it wasn't appropriate for Qin Haozheng to bring it up again.

"Oh, I had no idea that you're a friend of Miss Su!" An Qian walked to them holding Le Zhengyu's arm.

"Hello, An Qian and Mr. Le!" Gu Ning smiled.

"Ha, it seems that you have an unbelievable network!" An Qian raised her eyebrow and teased.

"Well-well, it's nothing. I even lost count how many important figures I know," Gu Ning joked.

"Oh! Tell me more about that!" An Qian said.

Su Zhenhao was afraid that Gu Ning and the other girls would feel uneasy in such a formal situation, so he kept glancing at them once in a while. However, when he saw that many respected figures went to greet Gu Ning, he was shocked. He had never heard of an influential Gu Family in City G, so he assumed that Gu Ning must be a girl from an ordinary family. Unexpectedly, she knew so many people of high social status.

Jin Kexin, on the other hand, almost went crazy because of jealousy. She couldn't understand why Gu Ning was able to know so many important figures. Su Anya followed her mother making a round in the hall before she came back to Gu Ning and the other girls. "Sorry about that. Please don't mind."

"Of course not." Gu Ning and the other girls didn't mind at all.

Jin Kexin thought for a second and said to Su Anya, "Anya, happy birthday to you! I've prepared a gift for you. It's a jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry."

Jin Kexin handed Su Anya an exquisite small box. While she was giving Su Anya the birthday gift, Jin Kexin sent Gu Ning several provoking glances. Jin Kexin believed that there were only a few people who could afford a gift which was worth over a hundred thousand yuan. In truth, this jade pendant was prepared by Jin Kexin's mother. Jin Kexin didn't think that the other girls could send more expensive gifts to Su Anya than hers.

"What? A jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry? Wow, it must be expensive!" Several young girls around them immediately surrounded them with excitement.

Jade Beauty Jewelry was quite popular among rich ladies. However, the brand was too expensive, No matter how rich the family was, few parents were willing to buy such expensive jewelry for their daughters. It was inappropriate for young girls to wear such expensive jewelry at such a young age, and it was also dangerous if they encountered robbers.

"I have always wanted a jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry, but my parents won't agree to buy one for me. They say a young girl shouldn't wear such expensive jewelry."

"Me too. Although my mom has a jade pendant from Jade Beauty Jewelry, and she let me put it on a few times, but I still want to have my own piece!"

"My dad promised to give me one on my birthday, but my birthday is still half a year away! I can't wait that long!"

Chapter 389 Jin Kexin Challenges Gu Ning

"Not just the jade pendant, I want the whole set!"

All the young girls from rich families discussed with animation. None of them disliked Jade Beauty Jewelry.

Hearing that Jade Beauty Jewelry was so welcomed and loved by them, Hao Ran and the others who knew that Gu Ning was the real boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry felt happy for her. As the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry, Gu Ning was also in a good mood when she heard that her brand was so successful.

Although Su Anya loved Jade Beauty Jewelry too, she didn't like Jin Kexin. However, it wasn't appropriate for her to reject the gift right in front of other guests, so she accepted it and thanked Jin Kexin. "Thank

you."

"Miss Su, would you mind if we had a look?" a young girl whose father was the chairman of a big company asked.

"Sure!" Su Anya said. She directly opened the small box, and there was a jade pendant of the pink-lotus type inside. It was actually the cheapest jewelry in the Jade Beauty Jewelry store. Even so, it cost over a hundred thousand yuan. There was a price tag beside the jade pendant. It read 188, 888 yuan.

"Wow! It cost 188,888 yuan!"

"It's so small and so expensive! I think this jade must be of high quality."

"Miss Jin, you're so generous!'

"It's my close cousin's birthday!" Jin Kexin said and acted as if she and Su Anya were very close. Then she turned to Gu Ning. "Well, Miss Gu, I'm curious what kind of birthday gift you've prepared for Anya? You're Anya's best friend, so I suppose that your gift has to be more expensive than mine, right?"

Hearing that, Su Anya, Hao Ran, and Gu Ning's other friends were displeased. Although what Jin Kexin had said wasn't wrong, her attitude was quite provoking. If Gu Ning couldn't present a gift which was much more expensive than hers, it would be embarrassing.

Gu Ning's friends all knew that the gift that Gu Ning had prepared for Su Anya was much better than Jin Kexin's, but they were mad at Jin Kexin's unkindness.

"Jin Kexin, what do you mean by saying that!" Su Anya snapped at her, "I don't care how much the gifts from my friends are. As long as I like them, they're priceless in my eyes!"

After that, Su Anya said to Gu Ning, "Gu Ning, just ignore her."

���It's fine." Although Gu Ning was displeased, she understood that it wasn't the right time to argue with Jin Kexin at Su Anya's birthday party.

However, Jin Kexin wouldn't give up just like that. Hearing what Su Anya had said, she was certain that Gu Ning couldn't afford an expensive gift. "Anya, I didn't mean anything. I just thought that Miss Gu would give you a much more expensive gift than mine. After all, you're so close." Then, Jin Kexin put on a sad look like she felt sorry for Su Anya. It seemed that if Gu Ning couldn't send Su Anya a more expensive gift, they weren't close friends. Hao Ran and the others all knew that Jin Kexin was picking on Gu Ning because she only aimed at Gu Ning although all of them were Su Anya's friends.

Gu Ning wanted to ignore her in the beginning, but since Jin Kexin was so hypocritical, she would seem weak if she still didn't fight back. Therefore, Gu Ning looked straight into Jin Kexin's eyes and said, "You're right. I'm Anya's best friend, so I should give her a more valuable gift than yours."

Hearing that, Jin Kexin was struck dumb. If Gu Ning really could afford a much more expensive gift than hers, she would be the one who lost face in public. Even so, Jin Kexin refused to believe that Gu Ning was willing to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on a birthday gift.

"Oh, really?" Jin Kexin said.

"As you wish," Gu Ning said. She took out a jewelry box which was the same package as Jin Kexin's gift from her handbag. It was the exclusive jewelry box of Jade Beauty Jewelry, so everyone recognized it at first glance.

"Jesus! It's jewelry from Jade Beauty Jewelry too!" a young girl said in surprise.

"I'm curious to see which one is more expensive, hers or Miss Jin's," another young girl said with curiosity.

However, Jin Kexin was upset, because she was certain that Gu Ning's gift was more expensive than hers. The gift that she just gave Su Anya was the cheapest piece of jewelry in the Jade Beauty Jewelry store. And Gu Ning was very confident that her gift was more valuable than Jin Kexin's. In that case, the price of Gu Ning's gift had to be higher than hers.

Su Anya was greatly surprised that Gu Ning had prepared jewelry from Jade Beauty Jewelry for her too. It must be super expensive!

Gu Ning opened the jewelry box and a jade pendant of the ice type appeared. It was in the shape of a leaf the size of a thumb.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Several young girls raised their voices in excitement.

"How much is this?" one of them asked.

Join out Discord server to chat with fellow readers –> https://discord.gg/6vFZqaT

"It's not important, but at least it's much more expensive than Jin Kexin's." Gu Ning smiled and gave it to Su Anya. "Do you like it?"

"Of course I do!" Su Anhao's eyes lit up at once. She immediately threw Jin Kexin's gift to Su Anhao who was standing by her side and took Gu Ning's gift without delay.

Seeing that, Jin Kexin was furious, but couldn't say anything. She had thought that Gu Ning was an ordinary girl who couldn't afford expensive gifts, but to her astonishment, Gu Ning gave Su Anya a much more valuable gift than hers.

"Anya, ours aren't as expensive as Gu Ning's, please don't mind," Chu Peihan said at that moment.

In fact, the younger generation's birthday gifts were normally around thousands of yuan, and it was rare to see a gift at the price of hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"Of course I won't! I'm already satisfied that you're willing to attend my birthday party!" Su Anya said with sincerity.

They also understood that Su Anya didn't care about the price tag, and they happily gave her their birthday gifts one by one. Although their gifts were hardly comparable to Gu Ning's, they weren't cheap or common either.

Su Anya didn't lack those expensive gifts at all, but these were from her real friends, so she was excited to receive them.

Jin Kexin, on the other hand, was quite unhappy. She thought for a while and asked Gu Ning again, "Miss Gu is so generous! May I know what your family does?"

"Shit, I think that you just want to cause a fight!" Chu Peihan couldn't curb her anger any longer. She swore at Jin Kexin with arms akimbo, like she was going to beat Jin Kexin. Chu Peihan's voice was loud and instantly attracted a lot of attention from people around them.

Chapter 390 I Can't Tolerate It Anymore

Gu Ning immediately pulled Chu Peihan back and stopped her. "It's Anya's birthday party. Don't fight."

"It's not me. It's this hypocritical girl! Who do you think you are to find fault with our boss?" Chu Peihan said angrily.

"You…" Being humiliated by Chu Peihan, Jin Kexin flushed with anger. However, seeing that everyone was watching them, she suddenly had a scheme and put on an aggrieved face. "I just saw Miss Gu being so generous and I've never heard of a super-rich Gu family in City F, so I'm curious about Miss Gu's family background. That's all. Why do you have to get so mad? It's not something shameful, unless…" In the end, Jin Kexin pretended that she suddenly realized something shocking, and closed her mouth at once to let others wonder.

If Gu Ning wasn't from a super-rich family, and could afford such an expensive birthday gift, but refused to tell others her family background, it was enough for people to gossip.

Hearing what Jin Kexin had just said, some already started to gossip about Gu Ning.

"What? Does she have a sugar daddy?"

"No way! She's so young!"

"Who knows!"

"You all shut up!" Hao Ran and Gu Ning's other friends got angry hearing them gossiping, and they raised their voice with one accord.

Their loud voice attracted a lot more attention from the guests in the front hall. Almost all the attendees were walking or looking towards them.

Hao Ran glared at Jin Kexin and said angrily, "Jin Kexin, don't think that just because you're a relative of the Su family we won't punch you!"

"Boss, I can't tolerate it anymore, and I'm going to beat her!" Chu Peihan said and ran forward, but was stopped by Gu Ning again.

Even Gao Yi and Qiao Ya went to Gu Ning's side without delay and stared at Jin Kexin unkindly. Jin Kexin was scared by their threatening looks.

"I didn't say that; they said it!" Jin Kexin was terrified by Hao Ran and the others' reaction, but she still acted as if she was the victim.

"What's going on here?" Su Zhenhao walked towards them in a hurry and asked.

"Dad, Jin Kexin's humiliating Gu Ning!" Su Anya said.

Hearing that, Su Zhenhao, along with other guests, all looked at Jin Kexin with unfriendly gazes.

"I'm not." Jin Kexin was struck dumb by Su Zhenhao's sharp look. However, before Su Zhenhao could say a word, Jin Kexin denied it. "I was just surprised by Miss Gu's generosity, and I thought that she must be from a super-rich family, but I've never heard of the Gu family in City F, so I just asked Miss Gu's family background out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, they're so mad."

Honestly, many people had the same thoughts and suspicion. None of them had heard of a super-rich Gu family in City F, so they were also curious about why Gu Ning could afford such an expensive gift.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with what Kexin said. Why is it humiliating all of a sudden?" Jin Jingwei asked unhappily. Jin Kexin was his daughter, and he knew his daughter's character. Jin Kexin had indeed picked on Gu Ning, but it wasn't humiliating in his eyes.

It wasn't a big problem if Jin Kexin asked directly, but she intentionally didn't finish her sentence and made people wonder and gossip, which was a huge problem.

"Bullshit!" Hao Ran swore. He didn't care that Jin Jingwei was much older than him and was a well-known businessman, but criticized him loudly. "Nothing wrong? Do you know what she had said beforehand? She deliberately made others believe that our boss has a sugar daddy!"

Hao Zhonglong and his wife didn't stop Hao Ran's inappropriate behavior. They were a family and their characters were alike. Therefore, they thought what Hao Ran was doing was right.

"You…" Jin Jingwei was mad at being humiliated by a young boy, but couldn't retort. It was Jin Kexin's fault after all. He then looked to Jin Kexin with blame in his eyes. He was blaming her for causing him trouble.

Jin Kexin was scared and pointed to several young girls. "They said it, not me!"

Those young girls were shocked and argued back. "You led us to!"

"You…" Jin Kexin was helpless.

Su Zhenhao and his wife were disappointed in Jin Kexin. To their astonishment, Jin Kexin who seemed cute and quiet normally was so evil. It would ruin a girl's reputation if people thought that she had a sugar daddy.

"Jin Kexin, stop acting! Nobody believes you and we're all clear about why you picked on Gu Ning. If you still have a sense of shame, apologize to Gu Ning right now. Otherwise, I'll beat you down to the floor!" Chu Peihan threatened.

"Exactly, who do you think you are? Do you know every super-rich family in City F? Don't flatter yourself!" Qin Zixun added.

"Do you think that you're better than others just because you were born in a super-rich family? Do you earn your money? You're just showing off with your parents' money!" Hao Ran said.

Gu Ning's friends were all criticizing Jin Kexin, even the guests disliked what she had done today.

Since it caught everyone's attention, Gu Ning thought it was time to uncover her real identity to protect her reputation as a businesswoman. Gu Ning looked at Jin Kexin calmly and asked, "Can't I be super-rich myself?".

Although Jin Kexin was terrified amid the criticisms, she unconsciously retorted with disdain. "Keep bragging!"

"Miss Gu isn't bragging. She gave Master Qin a highly valuable antique which is worth at least five million yuan!" someone said.

"Exactly. Girl Gu did send me a precious birthday gift," Qin Haozheng said.
