1031-1040

Chapter 1031 I Love this Drama

Hearing the warning, the other members of the Leng family didn't think that it was a bad thing, but Leng Shaojia and Jiang Shuyuan felt uncomfortable, because they had the intention to pick on Gu Ning in the future. However, now they couldn't do that.

"Why does grandfather defend her so much? She hasn't married into our family yet!" Leng Shaojia complained once Master Leng was gone.

"As long as grandfather and Shaoting accept her as a member of the Leng family, you can do nothing about it," Leng Shaoxun said.

Leng Shaoxun was naughty, but wasn't dumb, while Leng Shaojia was always rude and unkind. She knew that their grandfather cared about Leng Shaoting, but she still kept finding fault with him, which was very stupid behavior. Besides, if she annoyed Leng Shaoting, it wouldn't do her any good.

"Shut up, it's none of your business!" Leng Shaojia snapped at Leng Shaoxun.

"It is none of my business, but I love this drama," Leng Shaoxun said, while sitting at ease on the sofa eating an apple.

"You…" Leng Shaojia was mad, but didn't know what to say. She glared at Leng Shaoxun, but Leng Shaoxun ignored her.

"Well, I'm looking forward to meeting Shaoting's girlfriend," Leng Shaoxun said with anticipation. He was curious to see what kind of girl could attract Leng Shaoting, who was always cold and kept a distance from females.

Leng Shaoxun thought that normal girls might be scared of Leng Shaoting's natural air of power. In that case, Leng Shaoting's girlfriend couldn't be an ordinary girl.

…

Master Leng appreciated the painting again when he was in the study, which cheered him up.

…

Master Xu went back home and talked about Gu Ning with Xu Qinyin.

Xu Qinyin was very happy to know that Gu Ning was in the capital now, but she was a little displeased that Gu Ning didn't come to meet her.

They weren't very familiar with each other, but Xu Qinyin thought that they were close because of Leng Shaoting. Moreover, she was also willing to become good friends with Gu Ning who was an unusually outstanding girl. Thinking of that, she called Gu Ning without delay.

Gu Ning understood that Master Xu must have talked with Xu Qinyin about her when she received Xu Qinyin's call.

Xu Qinyin questioned her about why she didn't come to meet her the second she picked up the phone. Gu Ning told Xu Qinyin that she was busy today, and that she would meet with them tomorrow.

Hearing that, Xu Qinyin was pleased.

Since Gu Ning was busy today, Xu Qinyin hung up the call after chatting with her for a short while. She called Gu Anna later, and invited Gu Anna to dine together tomorrow.

Gu Anna was Gu Ning's loyal fan, so she would definitely join them.

…

Jiang Zhongyu also mentioned Gu Ning when he got home.

Jiang Ruiqin was home too, and he was a little upset when he heard Gu Ning's name. He liked Gu Ning, but unfortunately she was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, so he had to give up.

Shen Yanfeng talked about Master Leng and Leng Shaoting's girlfriend too once he was home.

He didn't know the name of Leng Shaoting's girlfriend, but he had to admit that the girl was really stunning, and that his daughter was barely comparable to her.

Shen Zhilin was unwilling to accept it, and she hoped to see Leng Shaoting's girlfriend one day in real life. She was curious to know what else the girl had to attract Leng Shaoting. However, she knew nothing about the girl's family background, so she had no idea where she could meet her.

…

Gu Ning, at this time, was on her way to Jiulong Mountain.

Jiulong Mountain was a little far from the city center, so it took her nearly two hours to get there.

She parked the car at the parking lot, then walked to a place without much light. Afterwards, she let the female ghost out.

"We're at Jiulong Mountain now, where should we go next?" Gu Ning asked.

Ghosts were different from human beings, because they could see things clearly at night. The female ghost looked around trying to find a familiar place. The mountains stayed the same, but the buildings around changed.

"We should go to the south of Jiulong Mountain," the female ghost said.

Saying that, the female ghost pointed at a certain mountain, but then realized that Gu Ning was just a human, so it said, "You can follow me." It didn't know that Gu Ning had a pair of Jade Eyes.

"Great," Gu Ning said.

After that, they went to the mountain together.

Jiulong Mountain was very large, and it took a long time for them to get there.

Although the female ghost could float fast, it moved slowly for Gu Ning's sake.

About half an hour later, they finally arrived.

The female ghost looked around again, then said, "The road here disappears. I think we have to climb the mountain."

"No problem," Gu Ning said.

They weren't far from the grave now, so Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to help find it.

Chapter 1032 A Real Ghost?

Before long, Gu Ning found a long and dark grave tunnel, but it was too dark for her to see the grave at the end of it.

At the same time, Gu Ning also noticed four people secretly walking towards the grave, and they were only about 10 meters away from the grave tunnel. Looking at their backpacks and tools it was obvious that they were grave-diggers.

"There are people ahead," Gu Ning said to the female ghost.

"What?" The female ghost was surprised, because it couldn't see any people ahead, but Gu Ning did. However, Gu Ning wasn't a normal human, so it soon accepted it.

"I think they must be grave-diggers since they showed up here at this time. We must get rid of them," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, the female ghost was furious, because a bunch of grave-diggers had damaged its husband's grave too. Therefore, it couldn't wait to kill them.

Gu Ning sensed the female ghost's fury, and said, "They probably aren't those who have damaged your husband's grave. You can't kill innocent people."

Gu Ning didn't have the heart to see innocent people killed. Although she wasn't very sure that they weren't the same people who had damaged the female ghost's husband's grave, it was too cruel if they were killed right in front of her.

The female ghost curbed its anger. "I can scare them away."

Although only Gu Ning could see it, it could cause violent wind to scare people away. Some ghosts had the power to cause unusual disasters.

The power of ghosts and monsters mostly came from Yin. And because the female ghost was murdered, it was full of resentment and covered in Yin.

"We can do it together."

Gu Ning took out her black cloak and mask, then put them on.

The female ghost said nothing, then they moved fast to the grave together.

Gu Ning used her magical power, so she was able to move like lightning, which surprised the female ghost. It was rare to see a human moving so fast!

Gu Ning had to hurry up to stop those people, so she had to use her magical power to help her.

Even though the female ghost had doubts, it didn't ask any questions about it.

After a short while, they were close to those grave-diggers.

Gu Ning told the female ghost to cause violent wind, and those grave-diggers were frightened by the sudden scary change.

"Why is the wind suddenly cold and blowing so violently?" a man said and shook in fear.

"Look at you. You're a coward. The weather changes, it's not a big deal," another man said with disdain, and kept walking ahead. The others followed him.

To their astonishment, the wind blew stronger and louder. Besides, a black figure suddenly flashed by right in front of them. "Ah, it's a ghost!" a man shouted out.

They all witnessed the black figure, so nobody dared to make fun of the man now.

"Is it a real ghost?" another man asked and his voice was trembling.

"H-How is it possible? I don't believe in ghosts."

"T-Then what is it?"

"I-I have no idea."

"I think we should leave now. It's too scary."

"No, since we're already here, we can't go back without anything valuable!"

"Right, we must find something valuable before we leave."

However, the second they finished their discussion, the trees around them shook with greater force, and the black figure flashed by their eyes again.

"Ah!"

The four of them moved backwards at once, and almost stumbled.

"No matter what you want to do next, I-I have to leave now." A man escaped right away, and left his friends behind.

The rest of the people were also scared by the scene, and they quickly ran to the foot of the mountain without hesitation.

The wind stopped blowing when they were gone.

Gu Ning and the female ghost started to look for the grave hole.

Although the female ghost knew where the entrance of the grave was, so many years had passed after all, and the entrance was already covered by mud.

With the help of her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning soon found the grave hole.

The female ghost didn't ask why she could find the grave hole within seconds, because it understood that Gu Ning wasn't a normal human. It ached to find its husband's coffin too, so didn't think further.

There were weeds at the entrance, but Gu Ning had Jade Eyes, so she was able to clearly see what was inside.

The entrance was inclined at 45 degrees, and the hole was about 10 meters long before they reached the grave tunnel, so they needed a rope to go down.

Chapter 1033 You Can Take My Jewelry

There was some Yin floating in the hole, and it grew dense in the grave tunnel. It seemed the grave was the source of the strong Yin. Luckily, no matter how strong the Yin was, Gu Ning wouldn't be affected.In fact, if this grave belonged to a person of a high social status, like a son of the duke, it should be placed somewhere with better feng shui. It was abnormal that the female ghost's husband was buried here as a son of the duke.

Gu Ning had doubts, but asked nothing about it. She told the female ghost to go inside first, because it could directly float in.

The female ghost couldn't wait a second longer, and entered the hole at once, but it didn't go to the grave right away, because it still needed Gu Ning's help.

Gu Ning took a rope out of the telepathic eye space, and used it to slide down to the grave tunnel.

They walked about 20 meters till they reached the grave.

The grave wasn't very big, because the female ghost's husband didn't have great achievements. However, all the antiques buried here were stolen away.

Gu Ning didn't come here for the antiques, so she wasn't disappointed, and went to the main chamber with the female ghost.

When the female ghost saw that the coffin was open, it was ablaze with fury. "My love!"

There was only a skeleton in the coffin without clothing on.

It was hateful that those grave-diggers had stolen everything away and left its husband bare in the coffin. Unfortunately, it didn't know who those grave-diggers were, so it could do nothing about it.

It only felt lucky that it could meet Gu Ning who brought it back to its husband's side now.

"Miss Gu, thank you so much for your help. Well, you can see that there is nothing valuable left in this grave. If you don't mind, you can take the jewelry on my body. They're valuable too," the female ghost said to Gu Ning.

Although Gu Ning was willing to help it only because they had a deal, it was an undeniable truth that Gu Ning had done it a great favor. The female ghost was grateful to her.

"Thanks, but you can keep them," Gu Ning said.

Since Gu Ning said that, the female ghost didn't insist.

After that, Gu Ning closed the coffin and put it into the telepathic eye space.

Gu Ning then told the female ghost that she needed to deal with something first, and that it had to stay away, so she put the female ghost into the telepathic eye space too.

Afterwards, Gu Ning let the jiao out and told it to absorb all the Yin.

Gu Ning put the female ghost into the telepathic eye space before the jiao came out because she was afraid that the jiao might accidentally absorb the female ghost as well.

The jiao followed Gu Ning out after absorbing the Yin, and Gu Ning told it to move a large stone to block the hole. It was super easy for the jiao to do that.

Gu Ning, at the same time, scattered some dry weeds on it, in case other people found this grave.

Although there was no Yin in this grave for now, this grave had bad feng shui, and the Yin would soon come into being, which was still harmful.

When everything was done, Gu Ning put the jiao away, and let the female ghost out. "Where do you want to bury your husband?"

"Somewhere quiet," the female ghost said.

Gu Ning thought for a while, then proposed to bury the coffin by the cliff so that people wouldn't come near.

The female ghost agreed, and they walked to the cliff together.

Gu Ning let the jiao out again when they arrived.

The second the female ghost saw the jiao, it was scared and moved steps backwards. "I-Is it…"

It couldn't believe that the jiao really existed, because it had only heard of it but had never seen one with its own eyes.

It took a long while for the female ghost to accept the shocking truth. Since ghosts really existed, it wasn't strange that the jiao was real too.

"It's fine. It won't hurt you," Gu Ning said to comfort the female ghost.

The female ghost exhaled deeply.

Gu Ning then told the jiao to dig a large hole to place the coffin, and the jiao finished the job within a few minutes.

After that, Gu Ning placed the coffin in the hole. She opened it, and took out the painting from the telepathic eye space.

"Miss Gu, thank you so much!" The female ghost thanked Gu Ning again, then went into the painting.

Once it became a part of the painting, it looked happy as usual.

Gu Ning put the roll up painting in the skeleton's arms before she closed the coffin, and told the jiao to cover it.

When it was done, Gu Ning put the jiao away and left alone.

The grave didn't have a tombstone, nor any sacrificial offerings, but lay there in silence.

…

It was already 1 am when Gu Ning got back to the Jiulong Mountain Villa.

Without further ado, she drove straight to the capital.

Chapter 1034 The Gossip about Xia Yichu

About an hour later, Gu Ning arrived at Leng Shaoting's house. She took a shower and went to sleep.The next morning, Gu Ning went to the office building of Fenghua Entertainment.

Fenghua Entertainment was still in another rented office building, and would soon move into the headquarters.

Nobody in Fenghua didn't know Gu Ning, so everyone greeted her with respect once she showed up.

Gu Ning also smiled at them kindly.

When she was about to walk inside, Lu Xiao, who looked annoyed, walked out.

"Oh, hi, boss," Lu Xiao put on a smile at once.

"What happened? You don't seem to be in a good mood," Gu Ning asked with concern.

Although Gu Ning wasn't managing this company, she knew that it wasn't an easy job, especially when Fenghua Entertainment was a start-up.

Gu Ning was very successful as a young businesswoman, and knew that most people would encounter all kinds of difficulties if they wanted to build a company up. Once a new company was founded, the competition would be fiercer.

In that case, the new company might be the target of those dominant companies in the industry. After all, it was much easier to defeat a new company before it grew powerful.

Gu Ning could become so successful within a short time not only because she was very outstanding but also because of her connections.

There were many entertainment companies that still tried to seize a chance to suppress Fenghua.

"Um, when Xia Yichu went home yesterday, she met a man who recognized her in the parking lot. They talked with each other for a while, and entered the same building, but were caught by the paparazzi. The gossip about Xia Yichu is everywhere this morning," Lu Xiao said.

Knowing that, Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. "Xia Yichu hasn't had her debut yet, and she isn't the focus of entertainment news. Why does the paparazzi want to stalk her?"

Since Xia Yichu hadn't made her debut yet, she wasn't worth public attention. Normally, only the famous artists were targets of the paparazzi.

Gu Ning had a feeling that this gossip aimed to attack Fenghua Entertainment.

Although Xia Yichu wasn��t worth public attention, Fenghua Entertainment was.

Xia Yichu was signed by Fenghua Entertainment. If she had any scandals, Fenghua would be affected.

It wasn't a big trouble, but Gu Ning thought that they should take it seriously.

"Director Mu will find out the real information of the person who spread the gossip on the Internet. Although Xia Yichu hasn't made her debut yet, the gossip will affect her career and Fenghua," Lu Xiao said with a serious face.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but Lu Xiao looked too serious as if something terrible was going to happen. It seemed like he cared too much about Xia Yichu.

An idea dawned on Gu Ning and she joked, "Why do I somehow feel that you are personally worried about Xia Yichu? Is there anything going on between you two?"

Gu Ning wasn't sure, but she thought that it was quite possible.

Artists didn't have as much freedom to date someone they liked as ordinary people did, and office romance wasn't allowed in many entertainment companies. Gu Ning, however, wouldn't forbid her staff members to do that, but there were rules too in her company.

Lu Xiao flushed a little with embarrassment, but he also understood that office romance would affect a singer's career, so he had no plan to admit it. Therefore, he changed the topic. "Boss, don't joke about me. There is nothing special between us. Do you have anything to deal with in the company?"

Since Lu Xiao was unwilling to talk about it, Gu Ning wouldn't ask further, but she still said, "I won't interfere in my staff members' personal affairs, and it totally depends on their willingness whether they should make it public or not. Oh, where is Tang Xiaoxiao?"

Hearing that, Lu Xiao was excited. If Gu Ning wouldn't forbid them from dating colleagues, he could have more freedom to do what he wanted.

"Tang Xiaoxiao is reading a script in the office," Lu Xiao said and his phone rang at this moment.

"Go do your job, and I'll go find her myself," Gu Ning said.

"It's Director Mu's call. I think he must have the result. Do you want to hear it?" Lu Xiao asked.

Gu Ning nodded, and stayed.

Lu Xiao picked up the call and K told him that he had already found the photo of the man who took the pictures of Xia Yichu.

The man who took those pictures of Xia Yichu was different from the person who spread the gossip on the Internet, but they had to know each other.

Chapter 1035 Apologies

After hearing the name of the person who spread the gossip on the Internet, Lu Xiao was a little surprised, but it wasn't too shocking.

The person had some conflicts with Xia Yichu at work, but Xia Yichu had no idea that it was the person who attacked her behind her back.

The person was also a female singer-songwriter with some fame in this industry. She attacked Xia Yichu because Xia Yidong's song replaced hers to be played in the new show that Xia Yichu was going to sing for. Therefore, she hired a man to stalk Xia Yichu.

The man who talked with Xia Yichu and entered the same building along with Xia Yichu was also arranged by her.

Lu Xiao was mad hearing the result.

Xia Yichu was someone he admired from afar, and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her. Since he already had the result, he was determined to take action to deal with it right now.

"Boss." Lu Xiao composed himself, but Gu Ning interrupted him before he could explain it to her. "I already heard it."

Gu Ning had good hearing, so it wasn't difficult for her to hear their conversation on the phone.

It wasn't a big trouble, so Lu Xiao could handle it, and Gu Ning had no intention to get involved in it. "You can handle it yourself."

After that, Gu Ning left for the office.

Lu Xiao, at the same time, called the director of the new show and shared the result with him.

The director of the new show was reluctant to see any negative news about Xia Yichu at this key moment because they were publicizing the new show now.

Lu Xiao explained it and the director trusted him.

They both thought that it was better to make people believe that the gossip was just a misunderstanding. The director also agreed to cooperate with Lu Xiao.

…

In the office, Tang Xiaoxiao, Su Tongnuo and Duan Lixin were talking about roles in the script.

The scriptwriter was Duan Lixin, so she clearly knew every role in the novel, and she was introducing them to Tang Xiaoxiao and Su Tongnuo.

Gu Ning pushed the door open and interrupted their discussion.

"Hi, boss!"

Seeing Gu Ning, they all stood up and greeted her. They knew that Gu Ning was in the capital now, so they weren't surprised to see her.

"Hi!" Gu Ning smiled, then turned to Tang Xiaoxiao. "How are you? Do you like to work here?"

Tang Xiaoxiao beamed. "Yeah, I love working here."

Fenghua Entertainment was very different from other companies in the entertainment industry because everyone focused on their own job. There were fewer people who would scheme against each other.

"Glad to know that," Gu Ning said.

After talking with the director of the new show, Lu Xiao logged into the official Weibo account of Fenghua Entertainment and sent out a message.

Fenghua Entertainment Official: As for the gossip of Xia Yichu and a strange man entering the same building, we already find the truth. It's caused by the competition for a song played in the XXX show. To make it clear, we announce that Xia Yichu has won the chance to sing the song for the show. No matter who you are, please stop defaming Xia Yichu and Fenghua. We also need your apologies, or we'll reveal real information about you.

Once the post was sent out, it attracted a lot of attention.

In the beginning, many people thought that it was a publicity stunt, but the show already gained a lot of attention now, so people began to believe that Xia Yichu was innocent. In addition, it wasn't the first time that Fenghua Entertainment had helped an artist clear his or her name, so more and more people chose to believe Fenghua's explanation.

The director of the new show also reposted it, which made it more persuasive.

Within a short time, everyone got to know that Xia Yichu was going to sing a song for the new show. It was kept a secret before, but now it was public.

Most Internet users were aware that Xia Yichu had been the ghost singer for Pei Hena, and they all loved Pei Hena's voice, so they were looking forward to hearing Xia Yichu's song.

Chapter 1036 A Pair of Shameless People

Meanwhile, many people were curious about the person who tried to trap Xia Yichu with that dirty trick.The person who did it also paid attention to the latest news about it, and she felt scared as well as mad after reading the announcement from Fenghua.

She knew that she shouldn't have messed with Fenghua. She felt regretful, because her career would be affected by her stupid move. Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to use a secret Weibo account to apologize to Xia Yichu.

Within minutes, hundreds of thousands of criticisms filled the page of the Weibo account, which almost drove her crazy. She had made a terrible mistake, but fortunately not many people knew that she was the person who attacked Xia Yichu.

Xia Yichu wasn't affected by this mess too much, because she had done nothing wrong, and she believed that both Fenghua and Lu Xiao would handle it well. She didn't even know the result until she walked out of the music studio.

Xia Yichu was a little surprised when she saw Gu Ning in the office. She didn't expect that Gu Ning would visit the company today.

"Hi, boss," Xia Yichu said to Gu Ning.

"It seems you're in a good mood," Gu Ning joked.

"Well, it wasn't a problem in my eyes, because I've done nothing wrong," Xia Yichu said with a smile. "I believed that the company and Manager Lu would handle it well."

Gu Ning smiled and said to all of them, "No matter what trouble you might encounter in the future, you all should stay calm and trust the management of our company as long as you're confident that you haven't made any mistakes."

"Thanks, boss." They felt touched that their boss was willing to protect them.

…

Gu Ning dined at the cafeteria of Fenghua at noon. And after lunch, Gu Ning left for the stores of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Colaine.

She went to Jade Beauty Jewelry first, and there were many people in it.

Although Gu Ning owned this store, not many service staff members knew her, because she hadn't shown up before.

"Welcome, miss, please look around as you like. You may try if you find anything you want to try," a saleswoman said to Gu Ning politely at the counter.

They had received professional training, so they were always kind and gentle to any customers.

"Thanks," Gu Ning said and walked around in the store.

At the front of a counter, a woman said to a saleswoman, "Please pack this up."

Right at this moment, another woman stopped them. "Wait a second, I want this necklace."

Hearing that, the first woman was displeased. It seemed that the two women weren't strangers.

Some people around them looked over too.

A fat middle-aged man walked forward with a sexy, young woman in a dress which showed too much skin.

It was obvious that this woman wasn't a woman with moral standards, so people began to look at her with disdain.

"I saw this necklace before you. Why should I give it to you?" the first woman said. "Please pack it up."

"Sure." The saleswoman reached out her hand to pick the necklace on the counter.

However, the scantily clad young woman grabbed it away.

It happened too fast and nobody was able to stop her.

"How dare you!" The woman was mad. "Yao Lili, how could you be so shameless! You've stolen my good friend's husband, and now you're stealing my necklace?"

Hearing that, onlookers began to hate the fat middle-aged man and his mistress. They were a pair of shameless people!

Yao Lili, however, didn't look ashamed at all but argued, "So what? I'm proud that I can grab Dalin away from that ugly old woman. She's so unattractive in every man's eyes."

Dalin was the fat middle-aged man, and his full name was Zhang Dalin.

Zhang Dalin didn't feel ashamed either, but supported Yao Lili. He had indeed abandoned his wife for a beautiful young woman.

Chapter 1037 Gu Ning Stands ou

"How could this woman be so shameless!"

"She is so proud of her shameless behavior too."

"If she had any sense of shame, she wouldn't have stolen another woman's husband."

"Right, they're a pair of shameless people."

"···"

When people were all criticizing Yao Lili and Zhang Dalin, the manager of the store walked over.

The manager recognized Gu Ning, and was surprised to see her here, but Gu Ning raised her hand to stop him from greeting her. "Let's watch it for a while longer."

"Sure," the manager said.

Although Yao Lili and Zhang Dalin didn't feel ashamed of their behavior, they were mad when people criticized them.

"Shut up! It's none of your business," Zhang Dalin snapped at the people around them.

"It is none of my business, but the young bi*ch shouldn't have grabbed my necklace!" The woman argued.

"How dare you say that?" Yao Lili got furious and wanted to slap the woman.

However, before Yao Lili's hand fell on the woman's face, a slim hand caught it.

When people turned to see Gu Ning, everyone was stunned by her beauty.

"Let me go!" Yao Lili struggled, but failed.

Yao Lili was jealous of Gu Ning the second she saw that Gu Ning was a beautiful young girl. If she was as stunning as Gu Ning, she would have found a rich young heir as her boyfriend, instead of a fat old man.

When Zhang Dalin leered at Gu Ning, Yao Lili got angrier.

Even though she just became Zhang Dalin's mistress for money, she wouldn't allow him to pay attention to another woman.

Zhang Dalin was totally attracted to Gu Ning now.

"Darling, my hand hurts!" Yao Lili interrupted Zhang Dalin.

Yao Lili knew that Zhang Dalin was lascivious, but he was a coward too. As long as the girl was unwilling to be with him, he would give up.

Zhang Dalin heard Yao Lili's voice and got his mind back at once.

"Miss, let my wife go now. It's none of your business, so please stay away," Zhang Dalin said to Gu Ning. He was very kind to her, because Gu Ning was a beautiful girl. If Gu Ning were ugly or had a plain face, he would have sworn at her.

"You're causing trouble in my store. Shouldn't I stop you?" Gu Ning sneered at Zhang Dalin.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

What? Her store? Is she the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?

They had all heard that the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry was a young girl named Gu Ning. They had also seen Gu Ning's photo on the Internet, but to their surprise, they were able to see the famous young businesswoman in real life today.

"Wow, she is the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?"

"She must be Miss Gu, and she looks much prettier than her photo."

"Exactly!"

"···"

More and more people surrounded them after knowing that Gu Ning was here.

Even staff members in the store gathered together talking about her. They were all her fans.

"What? You're the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry?" Yao Lili couldn't believe her ears. If so, she was even more jealous of Gu Ning, because Gu Ning was prettier and richer than her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Gu," Zhang Dalin said and apologized at once. He was barely comparable to Gu Ning after all.

Although he was rich, Gu Ning was much richer than him and she had powerful connections too.

Gu Ning let Yao Lili go and spread her palm open. "Give it to me."

She was telling Yao Lili to give the necklace back to her.

Yao Lili was reluctant to do it, and felt utterly embarrassed now, but she didn't dare act against Gu Ning. In fact, she had no interest in this necklace, but was deliberately annoying the woman, because the woman was the friend of Zhang Dalin's ex-wife.

The woman had slapped Yao Lili once to support Zhang Dalin's ex-wife, so Yao Lili always wanted to pay her back.

Chapter 1038 Feign Injury

Gu Ning gave the necklace back to the woman and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble. If you still want to buy this necklace, you can have 20% off."Hearing that, people were surprised, because 20% off was a lot of money.

"Thanks, Miss Gu, I love this necklace, and I still want it," the woman said with a happy smile. It wasn't bad if she could save some money.

"Well, whoever pays a bill today here can have 15% off," Gu Ning turned around and said to the rest of the people in the store.

Although 15% off wasn't much as 20% off, people were still happy to save some money.

Others also understood that the woman could have a bigger discount given what had just happened. It wasn't easy to get a discount here anyway.

"Thanks, Miss Gu," everyone thanked Gu Ning.

If they all had 15% off, Gu Ning could suffer a loss of millions of yuan, but it wasn't a big deal in her eyes. It was necessary for her to do that to cheer everyone up in the store.

"Oh, by the way, these two people should be blacklisted," Gu Ning said in the end.

Hearing that, everyone was surprised again, but also felt satisfied with the result. Nobody liked Zhang Dalin and Yao Lili's shameless behavior.

"You…" Yao Lili wanted to argue against Gu Ning, but she knew that she was doomed to fail, so she closed her mouth.

Zhang Dalin felt humiliated, and escaped with Yao Lili.

Once they were gone, others continued to shop.

Gu Ning talked with the manager for a while, then left for Colaine.

Colaine and Kouzi were crowded at this time.

It was obvious that these two brands were very popular now, and many people tended to shop in direct-sale stores.

Direct-sale stores were directly managed by the company, so customers felt that it was safer to shop here.

There were many fakes on the market after all.

Gu Ning was also aware of it, so she told Ning Changkai to keep a close eye on it in case anyone damaged their reputation.

Ning Changkai wasn't in the store now, he was in the factory.

Gu Ning had nothing else to do in the store, so she planned to have a tour in the factory.

Unexpectedly, she encountered a bad old man on her way.

When she was about to reach the factory, an old man suddenly dashed out from the sidewalk and hit Gu Ning's car, but Gu Ning stopped the car half a meter away from the old man.

The old man, however, still lay down on the ground and feigned a serious injury.

His behavior attracted a lot of attention from people around them. Not many people had witnessed the accident, so they didn't know that it was a feigned injury.

Gu Ning got mad when the old man tried to extort money from her in that way. She got out of her car at once, then coldly stared at the old man who was shouting in pain on the ground.

Seeing that Gu Ning was just a young girl, the old man began to act and shouted louder, "She just hit me with a car! I'm about to die."

"Should we call an ambulance?" someone asked.

"It's a car accident. Of course we should call an ambulance," another person said.

"Wait a second, call the police too, because it's a feigned injury." Gu Ning interrupted.

Hearing that, everyone was surprised.

They turned to look at the old man at once.

It wasn't uncommon for some bad old people to feign injuries to extort money, so they were also suspicious of the old man's behavior now.

The old man and the person who proposed to call an ambulance panicked a little, and their unusual reaction was caught by Gu Ning. It was obvious that they were a group.

"How could you say that? I think that you are simply unwilling to pay the compensation. He's an old man and he's seriously injured now!" The young man who teamed up with the old man criticized Gu Ning at once.

The old man began to act again. "This young girl is so cold-blooded. She just hit me, and now she wants to escape!"

Hearing that, onlookers didn't know whom they should believe.

"Well, I have a driving recorder in my car, and we can check the video to see who is right. There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and we can call the police to find out the truth," Gu Ning said.

People started to side with Gu Ning because she looked confident and calm.

The old man and the young man felt regretful now.

"Wait!" They stopped Gu Ning when she took out her phone.

Chapter 1039 They Escaped

"What?" Gu Ning stopped and stared straight at them.

She knew that they panicked. She was curious to see how they would stop her.

"Don't bother, the police are very busy every day. I think that the old man isn't seriously injured. Why don't you just pay him several hundred yuan?" the young man said as if he was helping Gu Ning.

It was a total lie.

"I don't think it's a bother, and why should I pay him? I did nothing wrong and it's illegal for him to feign injury," Gu Ning said in a cold tone.

The young man and the old man didn't expect that this young girl wasn't weak at all.

If the police came, they would be caught and locked away for a few days. Thinking of that, they exchanged a glance with each other, then escaped.

It was obvious that they were liars.

"They're liars!"

"They're so shameless!"

"They should have been hit to death by a car."

"···"

Since they escaped, Gu Ning let them go, because she didn't suffer any damage.

Onlookers were still criticizing the young man and the old man, but Gu Ning just felt bored and walked away. She got in her car and left without hesitation.

After she was gone too, the people dispersed.

…

When Gu Ning arrived at the medicine factory of Colaine, Ning Changkai told her that the bottle of pills she gave him was almost empty.

Gu Ning then gave him another bottle with over a hundred pills inside.

A single bottle of a hundred pills could make profits of eighty million yuan, which was much more profitable than selling just power crystals.

Nevertheless, Gu Ning was still willing to do that, because it could cure many people.

…

When Gu Ning left the medicine factory, it was past 4 pm, and she thought that she should call Xu Qinyin and the others. They could meet at 5 pm before they went to dine together.

Xu Qinyin picked up the call the second she called her. Before Gu Ning could say anything, Xu Qinyin said, "Gu Ning, I've been waiting for your call all day long!"

Actually, Xu Qinyin thought that Gu Ning would call her earlier that afternoon, but she didn't receive her call until now. Even Gu Anna had the same idea.

They both thought that they could meet Gu Ning earlier.

Gu Anna was really excited to see her idol today.

Xu Qinyin understood that Gu Ning must be busy, so she didn't interrupt her. Gu Ning was a successful businesswoman after all, and there were a lot of things she needed to deal with.

Xu Qinyin, on the contrary, was free every day and had tons of time to kill. Her grandfather had also urged her to find a job or build her career like Gu Ning.

If her grandfather compared her with another girl, she would be mad, but she said nothing when the girl was Gu Ning. Gu Ning was the most outstanding girl she had ever seen.

She knew that she wasn't able to surpass Gu Ning, so she admired her. And since she admired her, she wouldn't be jealous of her.

"I've not been free until now, and I called you at once," Gu Ning said. "Where do you want to dine together?"

Gu Ning was going to buy a meal for them, so she let them choose.

"Um, why don't we go to the food street? I haven't been there in a long time," Xu Qinyin said with excitement.

Xu Qinyin didn't have many friends, and when they met they always dined together in a fancy restaurant, so she already had enough. Sometimes, she ached to try some simple but delicious food.

"No problem, do you need me to pick you up?" Gu Ning asked.

"I can pick Anna up with my car, so that it'll be more convenient for us to go back home later," Xu Qinyin said.

"Great, see you then," Gu Ning said and hung up.

"See you," Xu Qinyin said.

After that, Xu Qinyin called Gu Anna without delay, and Gu Anna urged Xu Qinyin to pick her up right away.

Gu Anna's car broke down yesterday, so she had to wait for Xu Qinyin to pick her up. If it was possible, she would leave to meet Gu Ning as fast as she could.

When Xu Qinyin walked out of her family's house, she met her older brother, Xu Jinlin. Xu Jinlin asked her with curiosity after seeing her so happy, "Qinyin, why are you so happy?"

Chapter 1040 I Want a Hug Too

"I'm going to dine with Gu Ning," Xu Qinyin said with a broad smile.

"Gu Ning? Is she Leng Shaoting's girlfriend?" Xu Jinlin asked again.

"Yeah," Xu Qinyin replied.

Thinking of Gu Ning, Xu Jinlin remembered what had happened in HK last time. He felt lucky that he hadn't annoyed someone he shouldn't mess with.

Xu Qinyin left to pick Gu Anna up without delay.

Gu Anna's home wasn't far away, and Xu Qinyin arrived there about 20 minutes later.

"Why are you so late?" Gu Anna complained the moment she saw Xu Qinyin.

"Come on, you know how terrible the traffic jams are in the capital!" Xu Qinyin rolled her eyes at Gu Anna.

"Alright, let's go!" Gu Anna got in the car at once.

Afterwards, they went to the food street. Unfortunately, the car broke down halfway.

"Sh*t!" Gu Anna was annoyed.

"Let me call Gu Ning first in case she waits for us for too long," Xu Qinyin said with a resigned look.

They were only about 10 minutes of driving away from the food street, but it would take a long time to repair the car.

When Gu Ning received Xu Qinyin's call, she had just reached the food street.

"Gu Ning, have you arrived there? My car just broke down at XX Road. I'm afraid that you'll have to wait for us for a while longer," Xu Qinyin said.

"Call someone to repair it, and I'll come to pick you up right now," Gu Ning said.

"It's fine. Don't bother." Xu Qinyin felt a little embarrassed.

"It's no bother at all. I'm coming," Gu Ning said.

Since Xu Qinyin's car didn't work properly now, she should go over to have a look.

Xu Qinyin agreed, because Gu Ning wasn't far from them. Therefore, Gu Ning drove to pick them up.

Xu Qinyin also made a call to deal with the broken car.

About 10 minutes later, Gu Ning arrived but the repairman was still absent so they had to wait for a while longer.

"Oh my Goddess Gu, give me a hug. I missed you so much!" Gu Anna threw herself into Gu Ning's arms.

Gu Ning laughed and hugged her. "Been a while!"

"I want a hug too." Xu Qinyin ran to Gu Ning as well.

Xu Qinyin thought that she was more familiar with G Ning than Gu Anna was, so she should have the same treatment.

Gu Ning felt amused and hugged Xu Qinyin too.

"Is there anything wrong with the car?" Gu Ning asked.

"No idea, but it won't start," Xu Qinyin replied.

Gu Ning had a look at it, but couldn't see the problem, so she left it alone. They waited for another 20 minutes, before the repairman finally came. Luckily, there weren't many vehicles on this road, so the broken car didn't cause a traffic jam.

Xu Qinyin left the car to the repairman, then got in Gu Ning's car.

…

It was already 6 pm when they arrived at the food street, but it was actually a good time to have dinner.

They hadn't made the decision of what to eat, so they walked along the street looking around.

Vehicles weren't allowed to enter this street, so they all had to walk. However, when they left the parking lot, Gu Ning suddenly saw a familiar car, which belonged to Tang Yaxin.

An idea dawned on Gu Ning, and she parked her car next to Tang Yaxin's car.

Afterwards, she left with Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna. They walked ahead for a short distance, before Gu Ning made an excuse to go back to her car.

She told Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna that she left her phone in the car, but she actually wanted to go back to the parking lot.

Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna then stopped and waited for her, while Gu Ning went back to the parking lot alone.

Gu Ning went back to her car and opened a car door.

She took out two nails from the telepathic eye space, and secretly punctured the tire of Tang Yaxin's car like lightning. It happened too fast for the surveillance cameras to catch her movement. Moreover, she didn't go near Tang Yaxin's car at all, so she wouldn't be the suspect.

The tire kept leaking, but it wasn't loud.

Gu Ning took her phone and closed the car door before she walked out.

Let that be a lesson to Tang Yaxin!

…

Gu Ning, Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna were all beautiful girls, so they attracted a lot of attention once they entered the food street.

"Hey, beauties, what are your numbers?" a man shouted at them.

They ignored the man, and walked ahead.

Coincidentally, Gu Ning saw Tang Yaxin in the restaurant Xu Qinyin picked.

Tang Yaxin came here to have dinner along with her two female friends too.

Seeing Gu Ning, Tang Yaxin frowned. She recognized that Gu Ning was the girl who had bought Xiangyun Antique-store at the auction last time. She wasn't interested in antiques, so she had no idea how famous Xiangyun Antique-store was now.

In fact, Tang Yaxin had no grudge against Gu Ning, but she somehow hated Gu Ning very much.
