Chapter 721 Gu Ning Takes Revenge

They didn't know the reason until Gu Ning told them.

"I think they'll either stop scheming against Tanghuang for a while, or take full-scale action," Gu Ning said. "The latter is more possible in my eyes, because it's better to do it sooner rather than later. They have no idea when my father and grandpa will 'wake up' after all."

If they took action after Tang Yunfan and Tang Haifeng woke up, it would be much more difficult.

Hearing Gu Ning's opinion, they all agreed, and stayed alert.

Before long, Tang Yunhang received Yan Weilun's call, and got to know that the person who had leaked the proposal had gone abroad to Country M yesterday morning.

Country M was a very large country, and it was very hard for them to find out where he was. However, even though it was very hard, they still needed to chase him, because he was the assistant of the mastermind behind the scheme.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the hospital around 9 pm, but they didn't go home after that. Instead, they went to find Feng Xueqin.

Before they came to the hospital, Gu Ning told K to find Feng Xueqin's phone number and hack into her phone to see her location. Luckily, Feng Xueqin's phone was connected to the Internet, so K easily got her specific location.

Right now, Feng Xueqin was having fun in the Earth Nightclub, but it would take them some time to find out which private room and floor she was on.

In case Leng Shaoting had conflict with Qi Tianlin if they ran into each other, Gu Ning told him to wait for her in the underground parking lot.

Although it was likely that they wouldn't meet one another, Gu Ning did it to avoid conflict. There was a long-standing grudge between Leng Shaoting and Qi Tianlin after all, and there could be great trouble given Qi Tianlin's temper.

Gu Ning wasn't afraid of Qi Tianlin at all, but she was unwilling to cause trouble.

Leng Shaoting was dissatisfied. "I'm not scared of having conflict against him."

"I know, but I don't want to cause trouble, alright?" Gu Ning said.

Since Gu Ning said so, Leng Shaoting gave up.

Gu Ning didn't know what to say after seeing Leng Shaoting being displeased, so she kissed him to comfort him. However, Leng Shaoting took the initiative at once and pressed on her body for more. The longer he kissed her, the more he wanted. If they hadn't been in a public place, Leng Shaoting would have undressed her in a minute, but he was determined to punish her tonight.

He didn't let Gu Ning go until she was out of breath.

Gu Ning flushed, which was very attractive in Leng Shaoting's eyes.

In case Leng Shaoting pressed on her again, Gu Ning got out of the car in a hurry.

A short while after Gu Ning was gone, Leng Shaoting caught sight of a man walking out of an elevator. He squinted at him. To his surprise, he saw this man, who was always mysterious, right here.

Without delay, Leng Shaoting sent Gu Ning a message, and told her that he had to leave to deal with something, and she could go back home on her own if she didn't receive his message or call by the time she was done.

Gu Ning understood that it must be something important, so she told him to be careful.

Gu Ning didn't turn to Qi Tianlin for help, but searched the floors by herself. She assumed that Feng Xueqin would be on the floor of KTV rooms, so she checked the rooms one by one. She had Jade Eyes after all, so it wasn't difficult.

KTV rooms were on the third and fourth floor.

Gu Ning went to the third floor and used her Jade Eyes. She was able to see the inside of the rooms on this floor and the fourth floor at the same time.

In the private rooms, there were different kinds of people doing different things, like singing, drinking, playing games, or even having sex. It was an entertainment place controlled by a gang, so there were many dirty deals being settled here.

Although sex trade was illegal in this country, and the government had strict rules and control over it in the big cities, it still existed in the darkness.

The government was also unwilling to mess with gangs, so sometimes it turned a blind eye to it.

As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, the government wouldn't investigate their clubhouses, which was also the reason why those clubhouses controlled by gangs were more popular than other legal entertainment places.

When Gu Ning had walked halfway, she found Feng Xueqin in No. 555 private room on the fourth floor.

There were six people in the private room. Three were men, while the other three were women. One of the women was Wu Jinyi.

Since she had already found Feng Xueqin, Gu Ning decided to meet her right away. However, when the elevator which was coming down from the fourth floor stopped at the third floor, Gu Ning met Qi Tianlin's eyes the second the door opened, and both of them were surprised.

There were only Qi Tianlin and his two security guards who were Yu Hao and Cheng Hua in the elevator.

Yu Hao and Cheng Hua recognized Gu Ning, and they also knew that this girl had a relationship with their boss, so they were kind to her.

"Why are you here?" Qi Tianlin frowned with dissatisfaction.

He had been waiting for Gu Ning to gamble with him, but she never called him after a long time. However, now he caught her having fun here.

Gu Ning stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button for the fourth floor. "I'm here to take revenge."

"Take revenge?" Qi Tianlin cocked his eyebrow. "Does it mean that you're going to cause trouble here?"

Gu Ning frowned, because she didn't know how to answer that question. It was unavoidable that she might cause noise or even damage here, but she couldn't say that to Qi Tianlian's face, which would be a direct challenge to his power. Therefore, Gu Ning said, "I can drag her out first."

Saying that, they arrived at the fourth floor.

"Well, why don't you come to the gambling room after your revenge. I can help you deal with the mess afterwards. How about that?" Qi Tianlin asked in a domineering tone.

"Great."

Since Leng Shaoting left to deal with his thing, and she was free now anyway, she could gamble with Qi Tianlin as she had promised!

"Yu Hao, go with her," Qi Tianlin made an order.

"Yes, boss," Yu Hao said.

There was a waiter standing outside each private room, so others had to have permission from the people in the room after the waiter pressed the bell before they walked in.

Chapter 722 Disfigure Feng Xueqin's Face

In addition, the waiter had to swipe a card to allow other people to get inside, and only the waiter had the card.

There were many dirty deals being settled in the Earth Nightclub, so others couldn't go inside without permission.

If Gu Ning wanted to intrude inside, nobody could stop her, but it was better that Qi Tianlin was willing to help her.

Once the elevator opened, Yu Hao followed Gu Ning out.

They walked into the hall on the fourth floor, and the KTV manager came to welcome them with great respect at once. "Hi, may I help?"

Although Yu Hao was just a bodyguard, he was their boss's bodyguard, and was in a high position as the senior management of the Kirin Gang, so the manager had to be respectful of him.

"I want to get into No. 555 private room," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, the manager gave Yu Hao a glance. Seeing that Yu Hao didn't oppose, he told two people to guide them towards No. 555 private room.

There was no sexual intercourse happening in No. 555 private room, but the men and women were kissing and touching inside.

When the waiter outside wanted to press the bell, Gu Ning stopped him and told him to open the door right away.

The waiter glanced at the manager for his opinion.

"Open it now,�� Yu Hao said, and the manager nodded at the waiter, so the waiter swiped his card at once.

Although it wasn't appropriate, the manager didn't dare to stop them since Yu Hao made the order.

The people in the room were surprised when the door was pushed open all of a sudden.

"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you press the bell?" a man snapped at them in anger. He was Liu Xinqi.

"It's you!" Feng Xueqin abruptly stood up from the sofa in shock when she saw Gu Ning the next second.

Gu Ning fixed her eyes on Feng Xueqin the moment she walked into the private room. She walked to her step by step with a pair of cold eyes, which scared Feng Xueqin so much that she moved backwards. "W-what do you want to do?"

She knew that Gu Ning wasn't a simple girl, and she was afraid that Gu Ning might beat her again.

Wu Jinyi was also worried, but didn't dare to say a word.

"What are you doing?" Liu Xinqi stood in Gu Ning's way.

However, when he saw Gu Ning's face, he was surprised to find that she closely resembled Tang Yunfan. He didn't know that Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's biological daughter, so he didn't think further.

"I need to deal with a personal grudge with Feng Xueqin. If you don't want to be involved, you better move away right now," Gu Ning said in a cold tone. She wasn't interested in other people in the room. The condition was that they remained silent.

"You…" Liu Xinqi was in a rage, but the manager interrupted him at this moment. "President Liu, I think that you better not get involved in this."

If Yu Hao didn't stop the girl, nobody could. Moreover, their boss must have allowed Yu Hao to take this young girl here, and the Earth Nightclub wouldn't take care of Liu Xinqi if anything bad happened to him after he was involved in it.

Hearing the manager's advice, Liu Xinqi frowned. Although he felt displeased, he knew that it was a warning, and the leader of the Kirin Gang had permitted it.

The Liu family was a super-rich family in City B, but he was still afraid to mess with the Kirin Gang. Therefore, Liu Xinqi moved away after a short while of hesitation.

Except for Wu Jinyi, the other people in the room weren't very familiar with Feng Xueqin, so none of them were willing to be involved in this.

"No, you can't hurt me!" Feng Xueqin was frightened now.

"I can't? Why? Do you have the right to assault my mother again and again?" Gu Ning sneered and stared straight at Feng Xueqin.

Feng Xueqin was shocked that Gu Ning already knew that she had schemed against Gu Man. How is it possible?

The others, apart from Wu Jinyi, were also surprised that Feng Xueqin had assaulted a woman again and again. At the same time, they were curious why Feng Xueqin had done that to this young girl's mother.

Seeing Feng Xueqin being so shocked, Gu Ning smiled. "Well, Feng Xueqin, do you really think that you're smart? I knew that it was you when you assaulted my mother the first time. If I hadn't been busy during the past few days, you wouldn't have lived a happy life for a couple of more days."

"You…" Feng Xueqin was trembling in horror. All of a sudden, she felt that this young girl in front of her was very scary.

"Since you always want to ruin my mother, I'll let you experience the feeling yourself," Gu Ning said, and a knife was held in her hand before everyone could notice it. Without delay, Gu Ning waved the knife and they soon heard Feng Xueqin screaming in pain.

When they realized what had happened, there were four bloody cuts on Feng Xueqin's cheeks. Two cuts crossed each other on each of her cheeks.

"No!" Feng Xueqin yelled in pain, and stumbled down onto the sofa. She covered her face with her hands at once, but it was too painful, so she moved her hands away.

Except for Yu Hao, the others were all shocked by Gu Ning's behavior. To their astonishment, this young girl was so violent. However, nobody dared to say a word to blame her. In fact, they wanted to escape as far away as possible. It was obvious that this young girl was excellent at killing skills given the speed of her knife.

"My face! My face! My face!" Feng Xueqin cried.

Women cared about their faces the most. If her face was disfigured, she would refuse to meet people from now on. Nevertheless, Gu Ning wasn't done yet. She drew a bag of white power from her pocket, then poured it into a glass before she forced Feng Xueqin to drink it.

The white powder was drugs, which were put into her telepathic eye space the last time when she found a box of drug under her bed in a hotel room.

Gu Ning poured a lot into Feng Xueqin's mouth, because she wanted her to be tortured by drug addiction.

"Feng Xueqin, you asked for it yourself. If you dare to hurt my mother again, you're digging your own grave." Gu Ning warned her, then turned around and walked away.

Chapter 723 Not a Fair Deal

Yu Hao didn't follow her, but stayed to deal with the rest.

He walked ahead, and directly knocked Feng Xueqin unconscious, so that she seemed drunk. After that, he told Liu Xinqi's group to send her to the hospital.

Although Feng Xueqin passed out for now, she would soon wake up, because of the great pain on her face.

Gu Ning had used great force, and only plastic surgery could help her. Colaine medicines could also help her get better over time, but they weren't aware of that. Anyway, it would be super painful for Feng Xueqin to survive during this time. Besides, it wasn't easy to get rid of drug addiction. Even if Feng Xueqin was determined enough to do it, it would be a painful process as well.

Gu Ning went upstairs in an elevator afterwards, and met Qi Tianlin at the appointed gambling room, then sat down right across him.

Qi Tianlin squinted at Gu Ning and asked with curiosity as well as arrogance, "What did you do?"

"Disfigured her face, and forced her to drink a large amount of drugs," Gu Ning said airily, like it was just a very common thing.

Ever since they had met each other for the first time, Qi Tianlin never thought that Gu Ning was an ordinary girl, so he wasn't surprised by what Gu Ning had done to Feng Xueqin.

Qi Tianlin didn't ask further, and began to gamble with Gu Ning.

Liu Xinqi and Wu Jinyi sent Feng Xueqin to the hospital together.

Because Wu Jinyi was Feng Xueqin's good friend, Liu Xinqi asked her whether she knew the cause of today's mess.

Wu Jingyi told him everything and Liu Xinqi was astonished to hear that the girl named Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's biological daughter.

It was universally acknowledged in the high society that Tang Yunfan never married or had kids. However, he suddenly had a daughter

now.

Liu Xinqi thought that Gu Ning was probably a love child.

Feng Xueqin was crazy in love with Tang Yunfan. It was totally unacceptable for her when she found out that Tang Yunfan had a daughter and a woman. She wouldn't allow anyone else to get what she couldn't own. Therefore, she had schemed against Gu Man and Gu Ning. However, Wu Jinyi had no idea what Feng Xueqin had done to Gu Man and Gu Ning

After hearing that, Liu Xinqi had little sympathy for Feng Xueqin, because she asked for it herself. If she was scheming against ordinary people, he thought that it wasn't a big deal, but she was digging her own grave if she was acting against the Tang family.

Although Liu Xinqi didn't think of himself as a good man, he knew what he could do and what he shouldn't do very well.

Gu Ning had gambled ten rounds with Qi Tianlin. Five were draws, while Gu Ning won the other five, and Qi Tianlin never even won once.

At this moment, Qi Tianlin was more displeased than ever. He was unwilling to accept the result, but he had to admit that he lost very badly.

"Another round?" Gu Ning looked at Qi Tianlin with a calm face.

"Forget it. It's not fun at all," Qi Tianlin said with his face full of disdain, as if he gave up not because he had lost many times, but because it was boring.

Gu Ning didn't mind at all, and asked him for the money. "Sure. Now you should give me five hundred million yuan."

"Five hundred million yuan is nothing in my eyes." Qi Tianlin seemed as arrogant as usual, like he was doing Gu Ning a favor.

Gu Ning still didn't mind it, because she just wanted to get the money.

"Great, bye-bye." Once Gu Ning received the money, she stood up and was about to leave.

Qi Tianlin, however, was dissatisfied. "You're leaving now right after you get the money?"

Gu Ning stopped for a second and said coldly, "So?"

"Do me a favor and I'll pay you a hundred million yuan," Qi Tianlin said in a domineering tone.

"Seriously? You're the leader of the Kirin Gang, and there is something you can't do?��� Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised and teased him. "I'm curious why you turn to me for help?"

Qi Tianlin frowned. It was a humiliation to his face, which annoyed him, but he didn't blame Gu Ning. "Zuo Jiangkui, the oldest apprentice of He Hongjie who is the well-known gambling magnate of HK will come to City B after a few days. We'll gamble then, and it's related to our business shares in private. I don't want to lose at all, so I hope that you can help me win the game. I don't care how much you bet or win while gambling with him. It totally depends on you, and I'll pay you a hundred million yuan as well."

Hearing that, Gu Ning seemed quite interested in it. She had heard of He Hongjie, the gambling magnate, and Zuo Jiangkui, his oldest apprentice. Both of them were super-rich people. If she could win the game, she would make a fortune.

Nevertheless, Gu Ning didn't answer at once, but asked, "What kind of gambling? I only know how to play dice, and I'm not 100% confident that I'll win. He's an apprentice of the gambling magnate after all."

Gu Ning wasn't belittling herself, because she could have a draw at the least and it was impossible that she would lose, but she just didn't want to make the promise that she would win right now.

"Dice is the most popular form of gambling right now, so we will obviously play dice," Qi Tianlin said, then his voice was full of sarcasm. "I'm confident that I have a 50% chance to beat him. You never let me win a round even once, and now you tell me that you're not confident?" Qi Tianlin thought that Gu Ning's words humiliated him again.

"What if I lose?" Gu Ning asked.

Qi Tianlin thought for a while, then had an idea. "If you lose, you must work for me for a year."

Hearing that, Gu Ning was displeased. "I don't think it's fair. If you insist on that, I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't lack a hundred million yuan anyway."

Even though Gu Ning didn't think that she would lose, she didn't like an unfair deal.

Hearing that, Qi Tianlin frowned, but he knew that Gu Ning wasn't dumb, so he changed his mind. "Well, benefits live with risks, and you can't take all the benefits alone. If you lose, you won't get the award and you must pay the money that you lose. How is that?"

"Interesting." Gu Ning wore a sarcastic smile. "Do you think I'm taking advantage of you? I'm not the person who is going to gamble with him. It's you who is asking me for a favor. Even if I lose, it's unreasonable that you want me to bear the result for you."

Gu Ning wasn't willing to accept an unfair deal.

Chapter 724 Stupid Lu Qiuting

Qi Tianlin frowned again, but he thought that Gu Ning's words made sense, so he compromised. "No matter if you win or lose, I'll pay you a hundred million yuan, but you must bear the result of the gambling with him yourself. How is that?"

"Sounds good."

Although Qi Tianlin was still at an advantage, Gu Ning agreed on it because she thought that it was acceptable.

After that, Gu Ning left. When she walked out of the Earth Nightclub, she still didn't hear from Leng Shaoting, so she took a taxi and went home alone.

She wanted to send him a message, but was afraid that it might disturb him, so she gave up.

At the same time, the moment Liu Xinqi arrived at the hospital with Feng Xueqin, Feng Xueqin woke up in great pain. She was in a terrible condition now, and kept sweating, twitching and vomiting, which were the symptoms of withdrawal.

The unpleasant mental and physical effects caused by the wounds on her face and the drugs made Feng Xueqin suffer a lot.

At this moment, Feng Xueqin felt like she was living in hell, and ached to kill herself to get rid of the pain.

Even several male doctors failed to control her, so they had to inject her with a sedative. However, Feng Xueqin was heavily addicted to drugs, so the sedative wasn't really effective, but at least the male doctors were able to control her now.

There was no medicine for drug addiction. She could only continue to be on drugs or get rid of it. Therefore, all that the doctors could do now was to deal with the wounds on her face.

After treating the wounds well, Feng Xueqin was pushed into a VIP ward. Before long, Feng Xueqin's older sister-in-law, Lu Qiuting, and younger sister-in-law, Tong Wen, came to visit her.

Wu Jinyi called Lu Qiuting and only told her to come, but Lu Qiuting accidentally put it on speaker, so Tong Wen who was sitting by her side heard it too.

Although Tong Wen and Feng Xueqin didn't get along, they were a family after all.

Once Lu Qiuting and Tong Wen walked into the ward, they saw Feng Xueqin tied on the bed. She kept moving and struggling. but her face was wrapped in gauze bandages and her mouth was also shut by a piece of tape so that she couldn't shout.

If she shouted it would affect the wounds on her cheeks, which would cause the wound to crack and become more and more serious.

"W-what has happened?" Both Lu Qiuting and Tong Wen were scared by the scene.

Wu Jinyi didn't tell them many details on the phone, but just told them that Feng Xueqin was injured and was in the hospital now. They didn't know how serious it was, but the scene before their eyes was very terrifying.

"Gu Ning did it. She disfigured Xueqin's face and even forced her to drink a glass of drugs," Wu Jinyi said.

"What? How dare that bitch do that to Xueqin!" Lu Qiuting was astonished and mad.

Hearing that, Liu Xinqi frowned, and a touch of disdain flashed by his eyes. However, for the sake of his business with the Feng family, he reminded Lu Qiuting out of kindness. "Mrs. Feng, I don't think that the girl is someone you can mess with."

Lu Qiuting was struck dumb for a second. She knew that Gu Ning wasn't simple, but a stupid woman who was as arrogant as her wasn't wiling to admit it. "So what? She's just a bastard!"

"Well." Liu Xinqi put on a sarcastic smile. "You see what has happened to Xueqin now, so you should know that you better stay away from her."

He didn't expect that Lu Qiuting was as stupid as Feng Xueqin.

Hearing that, Lu Qiuting shut her mouth.

"Who is Gu Ning? She's so bold," Tong Wen asked with curiosity. She didn't feel angry just because Gu Ning had injured Feng Xueqin. Instead, she admired Gu Ning's bravery very much. She understood that Feng Xueqin must have done something even more unpleasant beforehand for the girl to injure Feng Xueqin with no mercy at all. She knew Feng Xueqin's personality very well, and Feng Xueqin already annoyed many people on normal days.

"She's Tang Yunfan's daughter," Wu Jinyi said.

"What?" Hearing that, Tong Wen was shocked. "Hasn't Tang Yunfan never gotten married or had any kids?"

If it was true, she now figured out the grudge between Gu Ning and Feng Xueqin.

Feng Xueqin must have done something to hurt Gu Ning, then Gu Ning took revenge.

"Tang Yunfan hasn't gotten married or had any kids, and she is just a bastard!" Lu Qiuting said with anger. It seemed that it was bad that Tang Yunfan had a kid without getting married. She actually had the same idea as Feng Xueqin.

"Qiuting, mind your language! I don't think that there is anything wrong with the fact that Tang Yunfan has a daughter without getting married. Why do you have to call the girl bastard? Do you think that you can mess with the Tang family?" Tong Wen criticized Lu Qiuting. She was completely disappointed in her two sister-in-laws, because both of them were stupid women who were digging their own graves.

"You…" Lu Qiuting was displeased, but she had to admit that Tong Wen was right. "Even so, the little bitch can't get away with it easily. I must seek justice for Xueqin!"

"I think that Feng Xueqin asked for it herself. We should feel lucky that the Tang family let us get away with what she did," Tong Wen said and pointed out the truth.

"Tong Wen, how can you say that? Xueqin is a member of our family. How can you side with an outsider against her?" Lu Qiuting blamed Tong Wen.

"Lu Qiuting, are you an idiot or something? It's Feng Xueqin's fault from the very beginning!" Tong Wen almost wanted to slap Lu Qiuting's face to wake her up.

"You…" Lu Qiuting didn't know what to say now, because she knew that Tong Wen was right.

"Mrs. Feng, I think you better control yourself, or the whole Feng family will be involved in trouble because of you. You know nothing about what has happened, and you want to seek justice? Not to mention that you have no ability to mess with the Tang family, you better keep a distance from Gu Ning too. You should know Gu Ning's special relationship with the Kirin Gang. If she dared to injure Feng Xueqin right in the Earth Nightclub which is owned by the Kirin Gang, the senior management of the Kirin Gang must have allowed her to do so," Liu Xinqi said.

Liu Xinqi was scared of Gu Ning now after Wu Jinyi told him that. He sensed that this girl wasn't simple at all.

Chapter 725 A Grilled Fish, Two Bottles of Beer

However, Feng Xueqin wouldn't give up even though she knew that Gu Ning wasn't simple. Therefore, she was merely digging her own grave, and nobody could stop her.

Lu Qiuting finally realized how serious it was, and didn't dare say another word.

"Jesus, she's so unbelievable!" Tong Wen was shocked.

"I heard Gu Ning say that Feng Xueqin had schemed against her mother many times, which is the reason why she was so mad. I think the Tang family doesn't know about it yet, otherwise they would have taken action. Since you both are here, I can leave now. Oh, I've already paid the medical fees," Liu Xinqi said, then left right away. He had invited Feng Xueqin to have some fun with him, so he felt slightly guilty and paid the fee for her.

"I think we should tell Pinghui," Tong Wen said, because they didn't know how to deal with it.

Lu Qiuting called Feng Pinghui at once and told him what had happened.

When Feng Pinghui heard it, he was in a rage. Feng Xueqin was really a trouble-maker in their family! Right now, he had no sympathy for Feng Xueqin at all, but only complaints.

It was almost 10 pm when Gu Ning got back to her house in Huafu Hills, but Leng Shaoting still hadn't contacted her yet. She felt a little worried, but didn't know whether she should call him in case it interrupted him.

Just as Gu Ning was about to open the door of her house, Cao Wenxin walked out of hers with an absent look on her face. When Cao Wenxin saw Gu Ning, she said to her, "I'm starving. Why don't we go out to have grilled fish together?"

Hearing grilled fish, Gu Ning's mouth was watering so she agreed.

There was a night-snack street across the road from Huafu Hills, so they directly walked there.

"What happened? You seem sad today," Gu Ning asked with concern.

"Nothing, I'm just not in a good mood," Cao Wenxin said. She obviously wouldn't tell Gu Ning that she was missing Xin Bei.

Since Cao Wenxin was unwilling to tell her, Gu Ning didn't ask further.

They went to a popular grilled fish shop and ordered a grilled fish along with two bottles of beer.

It was very popular and many people were waiting in line, but this shop was Cao Wenxin's favorite, so they were willing to wait for a long time.

While they were waiting for the fish, Cao Wenxin ordered a plate of vegetables to relieve her hunger.

Although Cao Wenxin was born in a super-rich and powerful family, she wasn't a picky eater. No matter if it was expensive food or a cheap and common snack, she ate what she liked. Cao Wenxin wasn't like some rich people who thought that they were better than ordinary people and despised night snacks.

However, half an hour later, several men grabbed Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning's fish and told them to wait for the next one.

Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin, of course, wouldn't stand for it, especially when Cao Wenxin was in a bad mood. She got mad at once, and raised her voice. "What the f*ck! How can you be so shameless? You grabbed our fish and even told us to wait for the next one? Do you want to have a fight?" Saying that, Cao Wenxin rolled up her sleeves, and it seemed like she wanted to fight.

"Oh, you have quite a temper!"

One of the men was amused by Cao Wenxin's action. To Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin's surprise, the man stopped arguing with them. "I'm not interested in fighting with a girl. Fine, you can have the grilled fish first."

Cao Wenxin was disappointed that the man gave up and said with dissatisfaction, "I thought that I could have a fight. You're such a coward!"

Hearing that, the man was displeased. "What did you say? You want to have a fight, right? I'm going to punch a man later. If you dare to beat him for me, I'll pay the bill for you."

Before Gu Ning could say something to stop Cao Wenxin, Cao Wenxin agreed without hesitation. "Sure, do keep your word."

She didn't lack money to pay for the grilled fish, but she ached to fight right now.

"Wenxin…" Gu Ning looked at Cao Wenxin. It was obvious that she disagreed.

Hearing Gu Ning's voice, Cao Wenxin also realized that it wasn't appropriate, so she said, "Well, forget it."

After that, she sat down.

The several men didn't say anything further, and the grilled fish was still placed on Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin's table.

"How funny is it that Qiao Guanxiang who is the agent of a famous singer called me to borrow some money!" the man who just argued with Cao Wenxin said.

Qiao Guanxiang? Isn't he Xia Yichu's ex-boyfriend? Gu Ning thought to herself, but didn't say anything.

"He called you to borrow some money? Isn't he very rich? Why did he do that?"

"Exactly! He's the agent of a famous singer after all." The other two men were confused.

"He told me that the singer was injured, and can't sing, so they can't make money. What's worse, they also have to pay liquidated damages for those deals that they signed before," the man said.

"Well, I don't think that he can become poor overnight just because of that. He has several million yuan at least."

"I agree. Even though he lacks money right now, how could he call you to borrow some money? He claimed to be your close friend before he became an agent, but he pretended that he didn't know you once he was successful. I think he's a shameless man!"

"Indeed! Don't lend him any money!"

"Of course I refused. In fact, he didn't tell me all the truth, because he's on drugs now, which is the real reason why he's in desperate need of money."

"Oh, that's the real reason! I think several million yuan is barely enough for him to pay for the drugs."

When Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin almost finished eating, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning.

"Where are you now?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"I'm eating grilled fish with Wenxin on the night-snack street. Are you done?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yeah, I'm going back; it will take around 20 minutes. Will you wait for me there, or go directly home?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"We're almost done too, so I think that we will go directly home," Gu Ning said.

"Great," Leng Shaoting said, then hung up.

Cao Wenxin looked at Gu Ning. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but didn't say it aloud.

"What?" Gu Ning asked.

"Is it Shaoting?" Cao Wenxin asked.

"Yes," Gu Ning said, but Cao Wenxin didn't say anything further.

After paying the bill, they left together.

Chapter 726 I Won Five Hundred Million Yuan!

On the way home, Cao Wenxin suddenly asked Gu Ning, "Ningning, Aunt Man is back to City F, and you are alone with Shaoting now…"

Although Cao Wenxin didn't finish her sentence, Gu Ning understood her meaning very well. She flushed, and avoided Cao Wenxin's question. However, Cao Wenxin wasn't willing to give up. She gently knocked Gu Ning's arm and asked again, "Ningning, have you done that with Shaoting yet?"

That meant sex of course.

Cao Wenxin was a virgin, so she felt shy when she asked Gu Ning about that. Moreover, she couldn't help thinking of Xin Bei and picture them having sex…

When Cao Wenxin realized what was on her mind, she flushed red and her heart was pounding.

Gu Ning felt a little uneasy when Cao Wenxin asked her about that. Even so, she did her best to calm down. "Why did you ask that all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. It's fine if you don't want to tell me," Cao Wenxin said.

It took them around 20 minutes to walk back to their houses from the night-snack street, and the lights were already on in Gu Ning's house when they got back, which meant that Leng Shaoting was home.

"Why are the lights on in your house?" Cao Wenxin was surprised, then soon figured out the reason. She looked at Gu Ning with envy on her face and said, "I'm so jealous of you that you have a loving boyfriend waiting for you at home. Well, I'll go back to my place and sleep alone as usual."

Saying that, Cao Wenxin walked towards her house. When she turned around, she put on a sad expression. She had never felt so lonely before.

Right when Gu Ning was about to open the door, the door was opened and Leng Shaoting's tall strong figure appeared in Gu Ning's sight. Gu Ning smiled at him, then walked inside.

The moment she entered the house, Leng Shaoting pressed her against the wall and kissed her without hesitation right at the entryway.

Gu Ning was surprised and struggled. "It's the entryway!"

"It's fine, and it's not a bad thing to do it in a new place," Leng Shaoting said. He was growing interested in new ways of having sex.

Gu Ning still felt a little uneasy, but didn't reject him.

They didn't go back to the bedroom until they finished a round of sex.

At this moment, Leng Shaoting finally had time to ask Gu Ning. "What did you do to her?"

"I left two cuts on each of her cheeks with a knife, and I also forced her to drink a glass of drugs," Gu Ning said.

Gu Ning never disguised herself in front of Leng Shaoting. She wasn't worried that Leng Shaoting would think that she was malicious either, because that was what she was like, and she wouldn't change just because of a man.

Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl in this lifetime or her previous incarnation. There was something in her blood that would never change.

Although she knew that Leng Shaoting wouldn't mind, she still asked him, "Do you think that I'm vicious? Will you mind if my hands are completely covered with blood?" She still wanted to hear the answer from his mouth.

"Would you mind if my hands were fully covered with blood?" Leng Shaoting asked her the same question. As a member of the special forces, he had killed no fewer people than Gu Ning in her previous incarnation.

"Of course not. Not at all," Gu Ning said.

"I won't either," Leng Shaoting said.

They chose each other and were ready to accept one another's good points and shortcomings.

It wasn't a surprising answer, but Gu Ning was still delighted.

Even though they were in love with each other, and both of them knew it very well, it was still different to hear it. To feel it was one thing, while to hearing it was another thing. It would be super boring if a couple didn't say any sweet nothings to each other.

"How did you deal with the rest of the things in the Earth Nightclub?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"I ran into Qi Tianlin there, and I agreed to gamble with him, so he helped me deal with the rest," Gu Ning replied.

"We had 10 rounds of gambling, and the bet was a hundred million yuan a round. Five were draws, and I won the other five. All in all, I won five hundred million yuan today! Isn't it cool?" Gu Ning looked at Leng Shaoting with excitement in her eyes.

Seeing Gu Ning being excited, Leng Shaoting was aroused once again.

The next day, the news that Tang Yunfan and Tang Haifeng had successively been caught in a car accident and was now still unconscious went abroad all of a sudden, and it threw a bomb into the market at once. The staff of Tanghuang Group also felt nervous.

Many people might have heard of what had happened to Tang Haifeng, but few knew that Tang Yunfan was also in danger.

A team without a leader would fall into a mess sooner or later. Gu Ning knew clearly that the mastermind behind the leak problem would take action again.

Facing the crisis, Tanghuang Group held another urgent meeting among the board of directors.

"Who spread the news abroad?"

Although Tang Yunhang seldom interfered in the company's business, he would stand out when it was an emergency.

Those directors all felt quite stressed at this moment. However, all of them denied it.

"Yunhang, I know that you're suspicious that one of us has spread the news abroad, but don't forget it only hurts us. Besides, Tanghuang Group has many enemies in business. Although the Tang family has a high-level security, it isn't fully closed. If someone wants to find out some confidential information, he could figure out a way or two," Tang Deming said in annoyance, as if he shouldn't be blamed.

Chapter 727 Tang Jiayang Is Back

However, no matter how much he denied it, he couldn't get rid of Tang Yunhang's suspicion. In fact, Tang Yunhang was very sure that he was involved in it.

Tang Deming thought that they could do nothing about it as long as they didn't have solid proof, but he didn't know that he had actually already been exposed. The Tang family didn't catch him right now in order to find the person behind him.

Even though Tang Deming lost touch with Zhang Yongjian, he thought that the Tang family didn't know about it because they hadn't taken any action yet.

"I agree, and I think that we should elect an acting chairman right now, or the staff and our business partners will leave us," Fu Kaiyu said.

"I think so too."

"Me too. We need to prevent our enemies in business from attacking us when we're in a crisis."

Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan agreed with Tang Deming.

"If so, I think we better elect an acting chairman as soon as possible," Tang Zhilin yield to the pressure.

Five among eight directors agreed, so the other three obviously couldn't reject it.

Tang Yunhang and Tang Yunrong could take part in the election, but they only had the right to vote. They along with the ninth director voted for Tang Zhilin.

Fu Kaiyu, Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan voted for Tang Deming.

Seeing that, Tang Zhilin couldn't stay calm anymore. He shouted at them, "Cheng Zhongsheng, Wu Boyan, what do you mean?"

"Don't we have the freedom to vote?" Cheng Zhongsheng asked.

"You…" Tang Zhilin was struck dumb.

Tang Yunhang had 10% shares, Tang Zhilin and Tang Yunrong had 5% shares, while the ninth director had 2% shares, which amounted to 22% shares.

Tang Deming had 8% shares, Cheng Zhongsheng had 6% shares, Fu Kaiyu had 5% shares, and Wu Boyan had 3% shares, which also amounted to 22% shares.

Tang Yunfan alone owned 51% shares, and nobody else could change that. The other 5% shares were in the market.

Both Tang Zhilin and Tang Deming held 22% shares in total, so they failed to elect the acting chairman.

"Well, I guess we can't elect the acting chairman today," Quan Mingkai said.

"Don't jump to the conclusion. I also have another 1% share which I bought from the stock market," Tang Deming said, and took out a document. Tang Deming was well-prepared today, and he wouldn't give it up easily.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

"Tang Deming, you've schemed everything!" Tang Zhilin questioned him. It seemed that he was angry because Tang Deming grabbed the position which belonged to him away.

"Don't put it so unpleasantly. I just want to save the company," Tang Deming said like he was the hero.

"You…" Tang Zhilin was mad, but didn't know what to say.

Right at this moment, they heard noises from outside.

"What's going on outside?" They were all confused.

"The reporters," Quan Mingkai said after glancing at a new message he just received.

"The reporters? Why did reporters come here right now? Who told them to come here?" Tang Zhilin frowned.

Tang Deming, however, stayed calm. Without a doubt, it was he who told the reporters to come here. As long as the reporters sent the news out, it was impossible for others to reverse the decision.

Before long, the door of the office was pushed open. A young man in his early twenties walked inside. He was handsome, energetic and resembled Tang Jiakai, but he had an air of maturity. He was precisely Tang Jiakai's older twin brother, Tang Jiayang.

Tang Jiayang was back from Country Y.

Seeing Tang Jiayang, Tang Yunhang's group wasn't surprised at all, because it was their arrangement.

Tang Deming's group, on the other hand, rounded their eyes in shock. Although they never cared about Tang Jiayang, who was too young and lacked experience, he was a stumbling block in their way after all. To their astonishment, he came back from Country Y right now.

How is it possible? Didn't Tang Weiyong send someone to spy on Tang Jiayang? Why did we hear nothing about the news that he's coming home? He showed up at this moment for nothing good! Tang Deming thought to himself, and he was right.

"I heard that there is a meeting among the board of directors today, and an acting chairman will be elected," Tang Jiayang said with a calm face. "I don't think it's necessary, because Chairman Yunfan has signed an appointment letter. If he's caught in any accidents, I will be the acting chairman."

"What?" Tang Deming couldn't believe his ears.

"It's true." Yan Weilun who was standing behind Tang Jiayang took out a document. "This is the appointment letter written by Chairman Yunfan a long while ago."

"Let me have a look!" Tang Deming stepped ahead in a hurry. He hoped that it was fake, but there indeed was Tang Yunfan's handwriting on it, and it was set at August last year.

Since Tang Jiayang had the appointment letter, he would be the acting chairman without election.

Tang Deming was extremely unwilling to accept it, but he didn't dare to oppose it. He wasn't a man of outstanding ability after all, and did everything according to Tang Weiyong's orders. The situation was different right now, and he had no idea how to deal with it. All he could do was tell Tang Weiyong the result later.

Those reporters soon spread the news out. Many people didn't have positive opinions on the fact that the acting chairman of Tanghuang Group was a young man who was just 20 or so. Other people, on the other hand, thought that there were many able people in Tanghuang Group, and even a young man would be able to run it well.

Although Tang Jiayang was already 22, he was merely a kid in those experienced managers' eyes. Actually, Tang Jiayang hadn't graduated from his college yet. Even so, Tang Jiayang already had a master's degree of commercial management.

Apart from Tang Yunfan, Tang Jiayang was the most talented businessman in the Tang family. Tang Yunfan didn't have any kids, so the Tang family raised Tang Jiayang as the heir of their family business. Exactly because of that, Tang Weiyong sent someone to spy on Tang Jiayang, instead of Tang Jiakai.

Chapter 728 A Copy Bracelet

Since Tang Jiayang was assigned to be the acting chairman, nobody could oppose it. However, he still needed to face many challenges ahead. Therefore, although Tang Jiayang already sat on the position of acting chairman, it was just the beginning. Once the meeting ended, he had to get to know everything about the Tang family's business group.

Luckily, the Tang family raised Tang Jiayang as the heir of their family business, so he was very familiar with it. Along with Quan Mingkai and Yan Weilun's assistance, he was able to take over the company smoothly.

Even so, it was his first time being the leader of a large dominant business group after all, so there was a lot for him to learn.

Tang Deming went back to his office later, and used another mobile phone to call Tang Weiyong

When Tang Weiyong heard the news, he was angrier than ever, but could do nothing about it either. He knew that it wasn't easy to unseat the Tang family, which was the reason why he was the mastermind behind the scene till now. To his astonishment, Tang Jiayang was able to quietly go back home without anyone knowing about it.

"It seems that I have to use my ace in the hole right now." Tang Weiyong's eyes were full of viciousness.

He thought that Tang Deming could become the acting chairman this time, and they would carry out their plan at a slow pace, but he was wrong. Tang Weiyong didn't tell Tang Deming what he was going to do next, and Tang Deming didn't ask further either.

Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan had supported Tang Deming at the meeting, but they weren't worried at all after Tang Deming failed, because Quan Mingkai understood the reason why they had done it.

Someone had abducted Cheng Zhongsheng's son and Wu Boyan's daughter before the meeting, and forced them to side with Tang Deming. Both Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan planned to stay neutral in this fight for power, but they were forced to make a choice. They never doubted the Tang family's ability, so they told Quan Mingkai everything.

Quan Mingkai told them to do what they were told to do for their children's safety.

They had supported Tang Deming today, and it wasn't their fault that Tang Deming failed.

Wa

After a while, Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan received a call from their kids, and were told that they were safe back home.

Those abductors had let their children go, not because they were kind, but because it was better for them to avoid unnecessary trouble right now.

Today was also the reopening day of Kamei Beauty Salon in City F.

In the beginning, the majority of their customers were unwilling to accept the new skincare products, especially because they were new and lacked fame.

Nevertheless, more and more people fell in love with them after trying it, and the new skincare products soon became popular. Some customers who hesitated to try it decided to wait until they were sure that the new skincare products were safe.

What had happened at Kouzi yesterday happened again today at Jade Beauty Jewelry. Someone took a jade bracelet of low quality to Jade Beauty Jewelry and claimed that Jade Beauty Jewelry had deceived consumers.

The bracelet indeed looked quite similar to the real one.

Although others in the store didn't believe it, the person had the receipt of the jade, which made people wonder whether Jade Beauty Jewelry had really sold fake jade jewelry to its consumers.

Gu Ning was in the store today as well, and she was obviously annoyed.

"Did you say that you bought this bracelet in our store?" Although Gu Ning was mad, she didn't show it on her face, and stayed calm.

Since the man had the receipt, it proved that he had bought a bracelet here, but he must have replaced the real one with a fake one.

"Yes, I bought it right here. I thought that it was a high-end jade bracelet, but it turned out to be fake!" the middle-aged man said.

Gu Ning sneered and asked, "Great. If you bought this jade bracelet right here, tell me which saleswoman served you?"

"She did." The man pointed at a saleswoman, and the saleswoman seemed a little embarrassed. It was true that she had served the man.

Gu Ning understood that the man had bought a bracelet here, so she didn't blame the saleswoman, but said, "Since she has served you, her fingerprints must be on this jade bracelet. We can do a fingerprint authentication to see whether it's true."

Hearing that, the man panicked a little, then soon calmed himself down. "Many people have touched this bracelet. Who knows whether hers are still on it!"

"We'll find out after the fingerprint authentication," Gu Ning said. "By the way, since many people have touched this bracelet, how can you be sure that this bracelet is the same one that you bought here?"

"Well…" The man was struck dumb. He didn't expect that this young girl was so smart.

Other people in the store weren't dumb, and realized the man's real purpose given his reaction.

"Exactly! Why do you hesitate to have the fingerprint authentication done?"

"We'll know whether it's real or not after that."

"I think Miss Gu is right. This bracelet couldn't be the same one he bought here."

"I heard from my friend that a woman caused some trouble at Kouzi the same way yesterday. She claimed that the Kouzi facial mask caused a rash on her face, but didn't dare to try a new piece to see whether she was telling the truth. I think that they must be jealous of the popularity of Kouzi and Jade Beauty Jewelry."

Hearing that, Gu Ning wasn't surprised.

Chapter 729 Promote Products

"Do you mean they could be sent by those businessmen who are jealous of Jade Beauty Jewelry?"

"I think it's highly possible."

"What a dirty trick!"

"Don't they know that the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry has a powerful friend circle?"

Hearing people's discussion, the man was scared.

"Jade Beauty Jewelry will, of course, never deceive its consumers, and we're willing to take the responsibility if there is any problem with the quality of our products. However, if anyone dares to cause trouble here, I'm not afraid to pay him or her back." Gu Ning's voice was as cold as ice, and was quite threatening.

In fact, Gu Ning alone was very powerful.

All of a sudden, the man ran outside, in case Gu Ning caught and punished him.

However, Gu Ning didn't bother to do that.

The man's reaction already proved everything, and others kept on shopping in the store of Jade Beauty Jewelry.

"Everyone, in order to celebrate, each of you can have 20% off as long as you buy jewelry here today. If the bill exceeds a million yuan, we'll send you a piece of jewelry which is worth around a hundred thousand yuan!" Gu Ning said. She was a very generous boss.

A VIP member could only have 5% off, but they could have 20% off today! It was a big discount in the jewelry industry. The people in the store all cheered hearing the exciting news.

"Miss Gu, I hope that you can celebrate more in the future so that we can have more discounts," a woman joked.

"Ha-ha, right!" others all agreed.

A 20% discount could save them over a hundred thousand yuan after all.

"No problem!" Gu Ning also felt happy when her customers were excited.

Seeing Gu Ning being so happy, Leng Shaoting was also happy.

After that, Gu Ning said to the woman who just joked with her, "Ma'am, I noticed that there is acne on your face. Why don't you try a Kouzi facial mask? It's very effective and safe."

Gu Ning seized this chance to promote her skincare products.

"Really? Let me have a try please." The woman's face lit up at once.

Every woman cared about her skin condition, and other female customers in the store all turned to look at Gu Ning.

"Miss Gu, is it real?"

"Miss Gu, can I have a try too?"

"If it's really effective and safe, I want to buy some."

They discussed it and couldn't wait to see its effect right now.

That was exactly what Gu Ning wanted to see. "Ma'am, would you mind removing your makeup to try the facial mask?"

"Of course not," the woman said.

Gu Ning then guided the woman walking to the washroom, and others were waiting at the lounge.

Leng Shaoting, however, walked into the office to wait for Gu Ning, because he felt uncomfortable being stared at by those women outside.

The woman's skin was a little dark yellow after removing the makeup. Although she took good care of her skin in her daily life, it wasn't very useful. She was an aged woman anyway, so normal skincare products weren't as effective as they were when she was young. Moreover, she probably didn't use the kind of skincare products which were suitable for her skin type. Even a famous international brand wasn't suitable for everyone.

Kouzi skincare products, on the other hand, had a special ingredient which was Gu Ning's magical power crystal.

After removing the make-up, the woman walked out, and her skin was clearly not in a good condition.

Afterwards, Gu Ning took out a box of facial mask from her backpack right in front of them. She opened it, and helped the woman wear a piece.

"Is Kouzi a new skincare brand?"

"I've never heard of it before."

"Yeah, it's new, and I established it," Gu Ning said. Given her good fame and reputation now, people tended to believe her words.

"What? You established it?" Hearing that, they were all surprised. Not only Jade Beauty Jewelry and Charm, but even Kouzi was also established by her!

"Yes, and I'm using this brand myself now. You can check my skin. I'm not wearing any makeup now," Gu Ning said.

"Really?"

Hearing that, they were even more surprised. They had noticed Gu Ning's smooth and shiny skin at the very beginning, but they just thought that she must be very good at making herself up. To their astonishment, Gu Ning wasn't wearing any makeup! In that case, they were looking forward to seeing the effect of the facial mask even more.

Ten minutes later, the woman removed the facial mask from her face. Once the facial mask was removed, it was very obvious that half of the acne disappeared from her face, and her skin became much brighter.

"Jesus, half of the acne has disappeared."

"It's so amazing!"

"I think her skin is much brighter now."

"It's hydrated too."

The woman was also excited, and checked her face in the mirror at once.

"Miss Gu, where can I buy this facial mask?" she asked Gu Ning.

"I want to buy some too!" other women said with one accord.

"The first direct-sale store is in the capital, and we are opening a branch in City B in a few days. If you want to buy some right now, you can write down your names and numbers, and I'll call them to send some here as soon as possible. Once the products are delivered here, you can come here to pick them up. How is that?" Gu Ning asked.

Chapter 730 Tang Jiayang Meets Gu Ning

"Sure!"

They all agreed with excitement.

"Are there any other skincare products in addition to facial mask?" another woman asked.

"Kouzi provides every kind of skincare products, and I'm confident that each of them is more effective than any other skincare products of the same kind on the market," Gu Ning said. "I strongly suggest you try it first before you pay for it."

"Although we haven't tried all of them yet, we've seen the great effect of the facial mask, and I think that the other products couldn't be bad," a woman said.

"I agree, and I trust Miss Gu," another woman said.

"Um, does it have any side effects?" someone asked with worries.

Gu Ning smiled. "I think you better have a try yourself before you buy it. I have several samples with me, and you can share them. Once the products are delivered here, you can also have a check. As for the prices, we set the prices as high as those famous international brands, so you can buy them if you think they're worth it. If not, you can choose not to buy them. It's all up to you."

In fact, customers in this store were all rich people. They could afford extremely expensive jade jewelry, so a set of high-end skincare products was nothing.

Gu Ning said that just because she didn't want to force them to buy them.

"Well, I think that if they're effective and safe, they're worth that much money."

"Exactly!"

"I agree."

All of them were already used to buying famous international skincare brands, and didn't care about the prices.

After giving them samples, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left together.

Those women, on the other hand, stayed in the store shopping for jewelry. They could have 20% off today after all!

They came here to buy jewelry. Since they could have a big discount today, many of them decided to buy more. In addition, some potential customers also didn't hesitate to buy the jewelry because of the good discount.

When they walked out of the jewelry store, Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning with his eyes full of love. "You're really good at doing business."

"Ha-ha, of course I am!"

Gu Ning felt very happy today, and didn't bother to hide her pride in herself.

Seeing Gu Ning being so excited, Leng Shaoting also felt happy, and there was a smile on his lips.

Right at this moment, two female passers-by noticed it and were stunned by his charming smile.

"Wow, he's so handsome!"

"I feel like I'm in love now."

Gu Ning turned to look at Leng Shaoting at once, then said, "Stop smiling. Girls can't move a step forward because of you!"

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting put on an expressionless face without delay.

���I promise I'll only smile in front of you," Leng Shaoting said.

"Great." Gu Ning was satisfied.

When they were in the car, Leng Shaoting asked, "Where are we going next?"

"To the hospital," Gu Ning said.

"No problem." Leng Shaoting started the car, leaving for the hospital.

Before long, they arrived at the hospital.

On their way to the ward, Gu Ning met a woman's eyes when they walked towards each other. The woman seemed surprised at first, then was angry displaying a strong hatred.

Gu Ning didn't understand why the woman glared at her and frowned, because she had never met the woman before. Leng Shaoting was also displeased, and gave the woman a cold glance, which scared the woman, and she turned her face away at once. She didn't dare to meet Leng Shaoting's eyes.

Gu Ning ignored her, and walked past her with Leng Shaoting

This woman was Lu Qiuting. She glared at Gu Ning with strong hatred because of Feng Xueqin. Thinking of Liu Xinqi's words and Feng Pinghui's warning, she didn't have the courage to slap Gu Ning. Actually, even though she wanted to pay Gu Ning back, she was doomed to fail and was unable to bear the consequences of it.

Speaking of Feng Xueqin, she was in a worse condition right now, because she struggled a lot during the withdrawal and the wounds on her face tore, which caused a lot of bleeding. It tortured Feng Xueqin more than ever, and she felt like she was dying.

In the end, Feng Pinghui had to send someone to buy some drugs from the Earth Nightclub for her to calm down.

Gu Ning already heard the news that Tang Jiayang was back, but didn't meet him until they gathered together in the hospital around 6 pm.

Tang Jiayang had also heard of Gu Ning and seen her photo. He admired her a lot and was eager to meet her in person. Finally, they had a chance to meet each other.

"Hey, Jiayang, been a while! You look stronger now. Want to have a competition?"

Cao Wenxin was in the hospital before Tang Jiayang, so she walked to him once he showed up, like she was going to have a fight with him.

Tang Jiayang frowned and moved a step back. "I heard from Jiakai that you've stopped bullying him. What, do you plan to bully me now?"

It was obvious that he couldn't beat Cao Wenxin in a fight.

"That's because I have a helper who can beat her down!" Tang Jiakai said with pride. He came here along with Tang Jiayang.

"You're a coward, and you turned to a girl for help!" Cao Wenxin mocked him.

"You…" Tang Jiakai was mad, but didn't know what to say.

"Come on, beat me if you're annoyed." Cao Wenxin enjoyed the feeling when Tang Jiakai was mad but didn't dare to fight with her.

"Alright, stop arguing. You're not kids anymore," Cao Ruihua said and criticized Cao Wenxin.

Cao Wenxin pouted, and closed her mouth.

After that, Tang Jiayang greeted the older generation before his sight fell on Gu Ning. "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Tang Jiayang." He was a mature stable young man, so he didn't show much excitement on his face.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Gu Ning." Gu Ning smiled and shook hands with him.

Both of them had heard of each other before, so there was no need for them to introduce themselves to one another.
