1101-1110

Chapter 1101 Are You Tired?

They were curious to know, but they also knew that Leng Shaoting wouldn't use his full strength in case Gu Ning would be hurt.Anyway, the competition was over and Song Haoyu lost. He felt quite upset and realized that that was exactly what Xu Jinchen wanted to see.

"Ha-ha, Song Haoyu, you lost again!" Xu Jinchen laughed out loud.

"It's crazy that you're so amazing at such an early age. You're also a girl!" Song Haoyu said.

"Thanks." Gu Ning smiled.

"Are you tired?" Leng Shaoting walked to Gu Ning's side and asked her with concern.

"No, I'm not," Gu Ning said.

She said that to comfort Leng Shaoting, but Song Haoyu was badly hit. He was exhausted, but Gu Ning said she wasn't tired. With the help of her magical power, it wasn't easy for Gu Ning to feel tired.

"Miss Gu, have you been practicing fighting ever since you were a kid? Have you received professional training before?" Song Haoyu asked.

"Yeah, I've received devilish training before," Gu Ning said.

Knowing that, Song Haoyu felt much better. Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, but a girl who had received devilish training before, so it wasn't as embarrassing that he lost. However, even though it wasn't as embarrassing, he still felt hit.

"Alright, let's go back to the private room now," Xu Jinchen said, then he turned to Song Haoyu and Gu Zichuan. "Don't forget that you owe us a free meal. Um, it's not easy for all of us to gather together once. Why don't we replace the meal with night snacks?"

"Good idea. I agree," Zi Beiying said.

"Me too," Gu Ning said.

They were free tonight, so they all agreed.

"Great, whatever you want to have tonight, my treat," Song Haoyu said.

After that, they went back to the private room.

…

Wu Mina who sat in another private room close by noticed them. She was surprised when she saw Xu Jinchen, because she thought that they were already gone, but they came back.

Therefore, Wu Mina hung up her call at once and walked to them.

Xu Jinchen was displeased. He felt that he was quite unlucky to see Wu Mina again.

"Hi, Jinchen, I thought you left. Why don't we have fun together in my private room?" Wu Mina invited him with enthusiasm.

"Thanks, Miss Wu, but we're fine here." Xu Jinchen politely declined.

It wasn't surprising, but Wu Mina was unwilling to miss any chance to talk to Xu Jinchen.

"We're all friends, and we can enjoy ourselves together." Wu Mina insisted.

"Thanks, but no," Xu Jinchen said.

"Jinchen, do you really hate me so much?" Wu Mina felt quite disappointed.

"Miss Wu, I don't hate you. Please don't get me wrong," Xu Jinchen said. He lost patience, but he had to be polite to her.

"If you don't hate me, why do you always refuse to hang out with me? Why do you always stay away from me?" Wu Mina said and sounded aggrieved.

"Well…" Xu Jinchen didn't know what to say. He had shown his attitude towards Wu Mina very clearly, but Wu Mina didn't want to give up.

Zi Beiying couldn't stand it anymore, then stood out staring at Wu Mina. "Miss, did you go to school? Couldn't you understand what he just said? Let me make it simple, he doesn't like you."

"You…" Wu Mina was furious. "Who are you?"

An idea dawned on Zi Beiying and she grabbed Xu Jinchen's arm and said, "I'm his girlfriend, so you better give up. Don't try to steal my man from me!"

Xu Jinchen was surprised by Zi Beiying's actions, but he didn't stop her because he knew she was helping him.

Although the others were also aware that Zi Beiying was just helping Xu Jinchen out, they somehow felt that they could be a great couple.

Mengda and Nan, as Zi Beiying's bodyguards, undoubtedly hoped that she could be happy. They felt that Xu Jinchen was a great choice for Zi Beiying too.

"You…" Wu Mina rounded her eyes in shock.

When did Xu Jinchen get a girlfriend? Why didn't he tell me?

Wu Mina felt like crying. "Jinchen, why didn't you tell me that you already have a girlfriend?"

It sounded as if Xu Jinchen had cheated her out of her affection towards him.

Xu Jinchen was a little mad when he heard her question. "Miss Wu, it's my personal affair. Why should I tell you?"

Chapter 1102 Have a Shower Together

"You know I like you!" Wu Mina said. It sounded as if Xu Jinchen had to take the responsibility for her as long as she liked him.Xu Jinchen said, "You also know that I don't like you, right?"

"I…" Wu Mina was struck dumb for a second. She indeed knew that Xu Jinchen didn't like her, but she was unwilling to give up. She couldn't understand why Xu Jinchen didn't like her.

"Why don't you like me? Is there anything about me that isn't good enough?" she asked.

In fact, since Zi Beiying claimed that she was Xu Jinchen's girlfriend, she should compare herself with Zi Beiying.

Even though their family background was excluded, Wu Mina was still barely comparable to Zi Beiying.

Zi Beiying was obviously more beautiful and attractive than Wu Mina when it came to their faces and build, but Wu Mina refused to face this truth.

"Miss Wu, the fact that I don't like you has nothing to do with your appearance or family background. I just don't have feelings for you," Xu Jinchen said and he lost patience.

Actually, as long as he liked a girl, he didn't care whether she was beautiful or from a rich family. If he didn't like a girl, he wouldn't accept her no matter how outstanding she was.

Wu Mina didn't know what to say now. She couldn't force Xu Jinchen to like her after all. She had tried countless times, and didn't have a good result.

"Miss Wu, please don't bring it up again. I don't want our families' good relationship to be damaged because of it," Xu Jinchen said. It was a gentle warning.

The Wu family needed the Xu family's help in many aspects. If Wu Mina kept annoying him, he wouldn't be kind to her anymore.

Although it sounded a little provocative, he had to do that in order to get rid of Wu Mina.

Wu Mina understood it very well, and felt scared. If anything bad happened to her family because of her, her parents would hate her. It wasn't something she wanted.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's get inside now!" Xu Jinchen ignored Wu Mina and invited his friends to walk into the private room.

They went into the private room together.

Once the door was closed, Wu Mina couldn't help but cry.

…

Zi Beiying removed her hand from Xu Jinchen's arm after they walked into the private room, and she said, "The best way to deal with this kind of woman is to tell her that you already have a girlfriend. If she has any sense of shame, she'll stay away from you. If not, I don't know what to do either."

When Zi Beiying separated herself from him, Xu Jinchen suddenly felt a little upset, which surprised him. Why would he feel upset?

Xu Jinchen panicked a little, but soon calmed himself down. "Miss Zi, thank you so much for helping me out."

"It's not a big deal. I don't like that woman either," Zi Beiying said, waving her hand.

After that, they were all seated and began to enjoy the meal.

A short while later, Gu Ning received a message from K. K told her that Dongfang Ziyu was staying in the Jinlin Hotel, which was owned by the Xu family.

Gu Ning told K to continue to keep a close eye on them tomorrow morning.

…

Wu Mina cried outside for a while, and her friend walked out to find her. "Mina, are you alright?" Her friend was nervous seeing her crying.

"I'm fine." Wu Mina didn't want to tell her friend what had just happened. "Give me my bag. I need to go home now."

"Are you really fine?" Wu Mina's friend was worried about her.

"I told you I'm fine!" Wu Mina raised her voice.

Her friend knew that she was in a terrible mood now, so she stopped asking her questions.

Wu Mina's friend gave her bag to her, and she went back home alone.

…

When it was about 11:30 pm, Xu Jinchen and his friends went to have night snacks together.

Many of them had drunk alcohol, so they couldn't drive. Luckily, Mengda and Nan didn't drink at all, so they became the drivers.

There were nine of them in all, so two cars were enough.

Both Gu Ning and Zi Beiying wanted to have seafood, and the others agreed.

Leng Shaoting used to be allergic to seafood, but he was cured after taking Gu Ning's power crystals.

In addition, seafood was expensive, and they didn't want to miss the chance to have a free meal. Song Haoyu would pay the bill anyway.

Therefore, the group of them spent nearly twenty thousand yuan on seafood as night snacks.

It wasn't much for rich people, but it was quite a lot for ordinary people.

After having night snacks, they went back to their homes.

Mengda drove Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning back to Leng Shaoting's house, and Leng Shaoting booked rooms for Zi Beiying and the others in the Shengshi Hotel. Since it was Leng Shaoting's arrangement, it was free.

Nan, at the same time, drove the rest of the people back home.

…

Once they were back in the house, Leng Shaoting couldn't wait a second longer and pressed Gu Ning against the wall.

"You smell of alcohol. Go have a shower first." Gu Ning pushed Leng Shaoting away.

"Let's have a shower together.��� Leng Shaotings stared at Gu Ning.

Gu Ning gave him a glare, but it actually wasn't the first time that they had done that together, so she agreed in the end.

The two of them stayed in the bathroom for nearly an hour, and they did something more than showering inside.]

1103 What a Coincidence!

The next day, K sent a message to Gu Ning and told her that Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua had checked out. He was following them to see where they went.

When it was 9 am, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were about to go outside together, but Leng Shaoting received an emergency call all of a sudden and had to leave first.

He wasn't sure when he could come back, so he told Gu Ning to contact Xu Jinchen if she needed any help.

Gu Ning agreed. She didn't ask what Leng Shaoting was going to deal with because she knew it must be highly confidential given his profession.

Leng Shaoting drove his car, and Gu Ning went to take a taxi alone.

She decided to call Zi Beiying afterwards. Since Leng Shaoting wasn't with her, she could spend some time with Zi Beiying. However, before she made the call, K called her first.

"Boss, the two people you told me to spy on left for Qianling Mountain, but I lost them," K said.

Qianling Mountain was a scenic spot, but there were only surveillance cameras around some parts of it.

Qianling Mountain?

Gu Ning didn't think they went to Qianling Mountain to climb it for fun. The Qianling Mountain probably had something to do with the cultivation world.

"Alright, thanks. Send me the screenshot of where they disappeared," Gu Ning said.

"No problem," K said and hung up. He sent the screenshot to Gu Ning at once.

Gu Ning, at this moment, changed her idea. She decided to go to Qianling Mountain today. Although she knew it was almost impossible for her to find them, she was unwilling to give up.

After that, Gu Ning disguised herself as Tang Aining and left for Qianling Mountain in a taxi.

Qianling Mountain was about 30 kilometers away from the capital, so it took more than half an hour for her to get there. It was a popular scenic spot, so there were many people who came to climb it.

Gu Ning found the place where Dongfang Ziyu and Wu Shunhua disappeared from surveillance cameras, then tried to find the direction in which they left through their footprints.

This part of the mountain area hadn't been developed yet, so there were weeds and soil everywhere.

Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to help her.

With the help of her Jade Eyes, everything became super clear. There was no road ahead, but traces were left by someone walking by. All the way forward, about 300 meters away, there were rolling hills.

Nevertheless, there was nothing strange.

Even though Gu Ning saw nothing strange, she still walked ahead following the traces. When she reached the foot of the mountain, the footprints disappeared.

Gu Ning thought that they might have used qinggong after arriving at this place so that others couldn't find them.

In order to find any footprints on trees, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes again. However, she found nothing this time. It was impossible for her to keep going, so she had to go back.

She wasn't disappointed, because she knew that it wasn't easy to reach the cultivation world.

Coincidentally, Gu Ning ran into Qi Ziyue, Tang Yaxin, Shouta Minamino, and Ayumi Yamaguchi along with two bodyguards when she walked back to the area with surveillance cameras.

It was obvious that they came to climb the mountain.

Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin were displeased the moment they saw Gu Ning, or "Tang Aining" to be specific.

Tang Yaxin's eyes were full of hatred towards "Tang Aining". She had lost a billion yuan to "Tang Aining"!

"Is it you?" Tang Yaxin clenched her teeth in anger, but didn't dare hurt 'Tang Aining'. 'Tang Aining' had a relationship with the Kirin Gang and the important USB flash disk after all.

Although Tang Yaxin was afraid of 'Tang Aining', she always wanted to figure out a good way to get rid of this enemy.

"Oh, hi, Mr. Qi, Miss Tang, what a coincidence!" Gu Ning greeted them with a smile.

"Nice to see you, Miss Tang!" Qi Ziyue was also very polite, although he was mad at 'Tang Aining'.

"Oh." Qi Ziyue seemed to think of something and said, "Miss Tang, didn't you say you have a USB flash disk with you. It belongs to Aining, and Aining is back home now, but unfortunately she lost her memories. Can you give the USB flash disk to me? I can give it to her, and it can probably help her remember something."

Saying that, Qi Ziyue acted sad.

Tang Aining was back home? That was impossible, because Tang Aining was already dead. In fact, Tang Aining was reborn to be Gu Ning.

In order to make Gu Ning believe it, Qi Ziyue paid a woman and told her to have a plastic surgery to look like Tang Aining. However, the woman still looked a little different from Tang Aining, so Qi Ziyue lied and said that Tang Aining had been injured and lost her memories.

"What? Aining is injured and she lost all of her memories?" Gu Ning also pretended to be shocked. "Are you sure the woman is Aining? Aining is excellent at martial arts. How come she's injured?"

"Miss Tang, I understand that it's hard for you to accept, but it's true. I've been with Aining for several years, and I know what she looks like. Yaxin also grew up with Aining, so we're very sure that the woman is Aining. Oh, Aining's father is aware of the terrible news too," Qi Ziyue said with a sad face.

Chapter 1104 What Do You Mean?

Hearing that, Gu Ning felt that it was ridiculous.Tang Yaxin didn't grow up with Tang Aining. Ever since Tang Yaxin moved into the Tang family's house, she had lived the life of a noble lady and had seldom seen Tang Aining.

As for Tang Aining's father, he was a shameless man!

"Well, you're right," Gu Ning said, but she had no intention to give the USB flash disk to them. "Can I visit Aining? I know that she has some scars on her body. Once I make sure the woman is her, I'll give you the USB flash disk."

Both Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin got nervous after knowing that. They had no idea that Tang Aining had scars on her body.

Although Qi Ziyue was Tang Aining's ex boyfriend, they had never slept with each other, so he didn't know she had scars on her body. And although Tang Yaxin was Tang Aining's half-sister, they were bitter enemies. It was impossible for Tang Yaxin to know where Tang Aining had scars.

They thought that they could easily deceive this 'Tang Aining' with a smart lie, but this 'Tang Aining' turned out to be smarter than they thought.

"Don't be so unreasonable." Although Tang Yaxin felt guilty, she was angrier, because this 'Tang Aining' said it on purpose.

Gu Ning indeed said it on purpose, but Tang Yaxin was in no position to criticize her.

"Yaxin." Qi Ziyue stopped Tang Yaxin at once. If Tang Yaxin couldn't control her temper, it would ruin their plan.

Gu Ning, however, didn't let Tang Yaxin go, but continued to question her. "I'm unreasonable? Miss Tang, why do you say that? I simply want to visit Aining. How come it's unreasonable?"

"Miss Tang, please don't misunderstand Yaxin. She didn't mean that," Qi Ziyue explained at once, but Gu Ning interrupted him, "She didn't mean that? What exactly does she mean then?"

"You…" Tang Yaxin was furious, but didn't know how to argue back, and Qi Ziyue didn't give her the chance to keep on arguing with Gu Ning either. He said, "Well, Miss Tang, if you want to visit Aining, we can find a time to do that."

He couldn't bring Gu Ning to visit Tang Aining right now, because his dirty trick would be exposed if they did that now. Therefore, he planned to give an excuse that Tang Aining disappeared all of a sudden again. As for the USB flash disk, they had to figure out another way.

"Fine, I should leave now. Call me whenever it's possible, Mr. Qi," Gu Ning said at the end.

"Sure, see you, Miss Tang," Qi Ziyue said, and Gu Ning left.

"Ziyue, why did you let her go like that?" Tang Yaxin was still mad.

"She's really annoying. Do you need us to help you teach her a lesson?" Shouta Minamino asked.

"Thanks, Mr. Minamino. I can handle it myself," Qi Ziyue said.

"Great." Shouta Minamino didn't insist.

Qi Ziyue thought that he could use bait and ask this 'Tang Aining' to visit the injured Tang Aining, then seized the chance to force her to give him the USB flash disk.

Thinking of that, Qi Ziyue felt much better, but Tang Yaxin was still in a bad mood.

…

When Gu Ning was back in the city, it was already past 12 pm. She dined outside, then went back to the house and removed her make-up.

After resting for a while, she called Zi Beiying and invited Zi Beiying to have a tour of her business corporation.

Hearing that, Zi Beiying got excited and agreed with alacrity. She was always curious to know how many companies Gu Ning had.

Afterwards, Gu Ning told Zi Beiying to pick her up at Leng Shaoting's house, because Zi Beiying had Leng Shaoting's other car.

About 20 minutes later, Zi Beiying and her two bodyguards arrived. "Where is Shaoting?" she asked Gu Ning.

"He left to deal with something," Gu Ning said.

Zi Beiying nodded, and didn't ask further.

Gu Ning got in the car and told Mengda the address before they left.

Mengda wasn't familiar with the roads in the capital, but it didn't cause much trouble with the help of onboard navigation.

Zi Beiying ached to know more about Gu Ning's business empire, but she didn't ask many questions about it in the car because she would soon see it.

"Gu Ning, do you know any specialties in the capital?" Zi Beiying asked. She was very interested in delicious food, and would try the local specialties wherever she went.

"Um, I'm not clear about that, but Xu Jinchen's younger sister should know very well. If you don't mind, we can hang out with her later," Gu Ning said.

"Sure!" Zi Beiying agreed without delay. She didn't care that a stranger would join them, because she was very easy-going and the girl was Xu Jinchen's younger sister too.

That being the case, Gu Ning called Xu Qinyin.

…

Xu Qinyin wasn't up yet at this time. She was mad when the ringtone disturbed her. When she was about to directly reject it, she noticed the caller's name and answered it without hesitation. "Hi, Gu Ning!"

"Qinyin, are you free today?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yeah, I'm always free. What's up?" Xu Qinyin joked.

"Why don't you hang out with me? I have a friend who wants to try the specialties in the capital. Can you be our guide?" Gu Ning asked.

"Well, if you didn't need a guide, would you call me?" Xu Qinyin pretended to be annoyed.

"Of course I would!" Gu Ning laughed. "We're friends, right?"

Chapter 1105 K Stands Up

"Alright, where are you now? I'll be on my way," Xu Qinyin said."I'm leaving for XX Road, and my destination is XX building. Call me when you arrive there," Gu Ning said.

"Sure, I'll be right there," Xu Qinyin said.

"Oh, don't drive your car. Just take a taxi," Gu Ning said, because they already had a large car.

"Great." Xu Qinyin didn't want to drive either.

Without delay, Xu Qinyin left her bed and changed her clothes.

Normally, it took about half an hour for her to put on her make-up, but she finished it within 20 minutes today.

Xu Qinyin's mother was surprised when she got up of her own accord.

"Qinyin, where are you going?" her mother asked.

"Gu Ning just called me, and we're going to hang out together," Xu Qinyin said.

"Gu Ning called you? No wonder you're willing to get up by yourself," Xu Qinyin's mother said.

Only Gu Ning was so influential.

Although Xu Qinyin's mother hadn't met Gu Ning yet, she had heard a lot about Gu Ning and what Gu Ning had done.

Master Xu often talked about Gu Ning as well, and Xu Qinyin also complimented Gu Ning many times.

Gu Ning was a very successful businesswoman at such an early age, and it was hard for others not to admire her ability. Therefore, Xu Qinyin's mother had a good impression of Gu Ning.

What surprised her more was that Gu Ning became Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. It wasn't a secret that Leng Shaoting had never shown any interest in other women before, and Master Leng was also very satisfied with this future grand daughter-in-law.

Master Xu even said more than once that he wished that Gu Ning could be his future grand daughter-in-law.

…

When Gu Ning and Zi Beiying arrived outside of the Shengning Tower, Gu Ning introduced it to Zi Beiying, "Look, this building is called Shengning Tower, and it's the headquarters of the Shengning Organization, which hasn't been established yet, so we haven't put the name on it either. The land behind this building is attached to it, and it's still under construction now."

"Wow, Gu Ning, it's so unbelievable!" Zi Beiying was shocked.

Although this building and the land were merely nothing for the Zi family, Zi Beiying thought that it was very cool.

Gu Ning was only 19, while she was already 24. However, Gu Ning had made great achievements, while she had done nothing impressive. In addition, there couldn't be another girl who could become a billionaire at such an early age! Gu Ning was literally a genius.

Only Gu Ning, who was as beautiful as smart, could be Leng Shaoting's girlfriend.

Zi Beiying realized that it was quite understandable that Leng Shaoting chose Gu Ning instead of her. Compared with Gu Ning, she wasn't outstanding at all. Because Gu Ning was far better than her, she became Gu Ning's fan and Gu Ning was her idol now.

"Let's go in now!" Gu Ning said, then walked into the building with Zi Beiying and the others.

Although the Shengning Organization wasn't established yet, the place was already open for business. At the reception desk, there were three tall, pretty women.

"Hi, welcome, Miss Gu!" They were all excited the moment Gu Ning showed up.

Although they knew that Gu Ning was the founder of the Shengning Organization, they had to obey the rules and simply call her Miss Gu.

Gu Ning smiled at them, then continued to walk inside.

After Gu Ning and the others were in the elevator, the three receptionists almost yelled in excitement.

"OMG, I just saw the founder of our company! She's so beautiful."

"Indeed, she's much prettier than those photos of her."

"I feel so lucky that I can work here."

"Me too."

…

Gu Ning brought them straight up to the 17th floor where Chen Cangyi's CEO's office was; her office was on the 18th floor.

K was about to leave when Gu Ning and the others came. With Leng Shaoting's help, the game company easily passed the legal check, and he could go get the certificate now. Once they had the certificate, they could release the game.

"Hi, boss, good news." K beamed at Gu Ning the second he saw her. "I just received a call from the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and our game company is ready to open now!"

After K finished saying that, his sight fell on Zi Beiying. He wasn't surprised because he already saw them in the surveillance cameras.

Nevertheless, Zi Beiying was astonished when she saw K standing up on his feet. Not only Zi Beiying, but Mengda and Nan were also shocked.

"Nice to see you, Miss Zi." K politely greeted Zi Beiying.

Chapter 1106 It"s Gu Ning, Right?

"A-Are your legs cured?" Zi Beiying asked."Yeah, they're fine now." K smiled. He felt lucky every time he thought of his legs.

"Who did that for you?" Zi Beiying asked again with curiosity, because she knew that K had tried many times in vain. The person who had cured K's legs must be the best doctor in this world.

Hearing that, K gave Gu Ning a glance, because he didn't know whether he could tell the truth or not.

Zi Beiying noticed that, and remembered what Gu Ning had done for her father. "Oh, it's Gu Ning, right?" she said.

K was struck dumb for a second. He was surprised that Zi Beiying got the answer at once.

"Yes, it's me," Gu Ning said.

"Since it's you, it's not too much of a shock." Zi Beiying wasn't shocked anymore after hearing Gu Ning's answer. She knew how unbelievable Gu Ning was.

K soon realized that Zi Beiying was also aware of Gu Ning's outstanding ability.

"Alright, you can go deal with your business now," Gu Ning said.

"Great, see you," K said and left.

Shortly after K walked away, Chen Cangyi showed up. He heard their voices from his office, so he went out to welcome Gu Ning.

"Nice to see you again, boss," Chen Cangyi said, then he greeted Zi Beiying and her two bodyguards. "Hi, nice to meet you all."

He didn't know Zi Beiying and her two bodyguards, so he didn't greet them by name.

"Nice to meet you too," Zi Beiying said.

"This is the president of my corporation, Chen Cangyi. They're my friends, Zi Beiying, Mengda and Nan." Gu Ning introduced them to each other.

"I just came to give my friends a tour, so you can focus on your own work," Gu Ning said.

"Sure." Chen Cangyi was indeed very busy with his work now because Gu Ning's corporation was about to be officially established.

After that, Gu Ning went to the 18th floor with Zi Beiying and the others.

There was a tea set in the room and Zi Beiying asked Gu Ning, "Can I prepare the tea myself?"

Zi Beiying liked drinking tea, and she had learned many skills of a tea ceremony.

"Of course you can," Gu Ning said.

Zi Beiying picked up the Yixing clay teapot. Although it looked a little old it was very smooth, and the texture was very good. Zi Beiying asked, "Gu Ning, is this a real antique?"

"Yeah," Gu Ning said. It was the most valuable Yixing clay teapot she had bought till now.

Knowing that, Zi Beiying decided to be very cautious, this antique was unique after all.

After the water boiled, Zi Beiying began to make tea.

First of all, she had to wash the tea set with boiling water. Afterwards, she put tea in the teapot and poured boiling water inside.

She waited for a short while before she poured the tea into the fair mug. For the clarity of the tea, she put the tea strainer on the fair mug to filter the tea residue.

In the end, she poured the tea into teacups.

Gu Ning didn't know much about the art of tea, but she could see that Zi Beiying had received professional training before.

"Have a taste." Zi Beiying gave the first teacup to Gu Ning, then poured cups of tea for Mengda and Nan too. Even though Mengda and Nan were Zi Beiying's bodyguards, Zi Beiying treated them as if they were members of her family.

Gu Ning raised the teacup and had a sip of the tea.

When the tea just entered her mouth, it tasted a little bitter, but it had a sweet refreshing aftertaste once it slowly penetrated into her throat.

"Wow, this is good," Gu Ning said.

"Ha-ha, I like drinking tea, and I've learned the skills too. I often make the tea at home when I'm free. My dad always says that I steal the tea artist's work," Zi Beiying said with a broad smile.

"Not only have you stolen the tea artist's work, but Master Zi and Lord Zi also have a higher standard of tea now," Nan said.

They chatted with each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

When they were enjoying the tea for the third round, Gu Ning received Xu Qinyin's call.

She told them to stay in her office, and she left to meet Xu Qinyin.

It was still early, so they were going to rest in her office for a while before they went to dine together.

…

However, the second Xu Qinyin hung up the call with Gu Ning, she saw a familiar face.

"Qinyin?" A male voice called Xu Qinyin with uncertainty. Xu Qinyin turned around, but looked displeased when she saw the man.

He was a handsome 25-year-old man in a formal suit.

Although Xu Qinyin was reluctant to see him, she still greeted him because of her good manners. "Hi, nice to see you."

The man's name was Shen Baixiang. He had studied in the same college as Xu Qinyin before. He was also universally-acknowledged as the best looking man in their school. Xu Qinyin had confessed her love for him, but he had turned her down.

It wasn't a big deal that he had rejected her, because she couldn't force him to love her, and she accepted the result. However, she learned later that Shen Baixiang rejected her because he thought that her family background was too ordinary.

Xu Qinyin kept a low profile on purpose, so her schoolmates all believed that she was an ordinary girl.

The Shen family was a rich family in the capital, so Shen Baixiang would marry someone from a family of equal social status to his. That was his and his family's plan. He wouldn't marry an ordinary girl, because it wasn't helpful for his family's business.

Shen Baixiang had no idea about Xu Qinyin's real family background, because they lost touch with each other after graduation.

Chapter 1107 I Hate Him

Apart from her family background, Shen Baixiang actually liked Xu Qinyin's appearance very much. Even if it was impossible for him to marry her, he wasn't willing to keep a distance away from her. As long as Xu Qinyin had no intention to marry him, he wouldn't mind having a sexual relationship with her.Shen Baixiang walked to Xu Qinyin. "Oh, it's really you! What a coincidence!"

Even though Shen Baixiang seemed gentle and kind, he still failed to hide his arrogance.

"Hi," Xu Qinyin said with a fake smile.

Shen Baixiang understood that Xu Qinyin had no patience for him, but he believed that it was because he had rejected her before.

"Are you free? Why don't we have a cup of coffee together?" Shen Baixiang invited her.

"No, thanks," Xu Qinyin said without hesitation.

"Qinyin, are you still mad at me?" Shen Baixiang asked on purpose.

"Of course not, I already forget about it, but we're not familiar with each other, so I don't think it's necessary to keep in touch," Xu Qinyin said.

"Fine, I won't force you to do it if you're not free now. Can I have your number?" Shen Baixiang said.

"I'm afraid you can't." Xu Qinyin rejected it.

This time, Shen Baixiang was a little annoyed. He was a self-centered person, and he wouldn't allow others to reject him, but it was only reasonable in his eyes that he could reject other girls as he wanted.

When Shen Baixiang wanted to say something again, Gu Ning walked over. The second Shen Baixiang saw Gu Ning, he felt that Gu Ning looked very familiar.

After a few seconds, Shen Baixiang remembered who Gu Ning was. Therefore, once Gu Ning walked near, Shen Baixiang greeted her of his own accord. "Hi, I'm so sorry to bother you, but is your name Gu Ning?"

Shen Baixiang had read the news about Gu Ning on the Internet, and he thought only an outstanding girl like Gu Ning could be his girlfriend. He never thought of whether he deserved her.

In fact, Gu Ning was much richer than his family.

"Yeah, I'm Gu Ning," Gu Ning said. She saw him talking with Xu Qinyin from a distance, so she thought that he might be Xu Qinyin's friend or something.

"Very nice to meet you, Miss Gu. I'm the general manager of Jintong Finance. My name's Shen Baixiang, and my company is on the third floor of this skyscraper." Shen Baixiang immediately introduced himself, then pointed at the nearby building.

Coincidentally, Fenghua Entertainment was also in the skyscraper now, but Gu Ning didn't bother to mention it.

"Ningning, let's go now." Xu Qinyin didn't want Gu Ning to waste time on Shen Baixiang, so she pulled Gu Ning's hand, walking away.

Seeing that, Gu Ning realized that Xu Qinyin must hate this man called Shen Baixiang, so she said nothing and left with Xu Qinyin.

Shen Baixiang, however, was shocked, because it seemed like Xu Qinyin was very close to Gu Ning.

In his eyes, Xu Qinyin was simply an ordinary girl, and she shouldn't know Gu Ning, who was an important figure.

"Do you hate him?" Gu Ning asked when they were far away.

"Yeah, I hate him." Xu Qinyin told Gu Ning the story afterwards.

After knowing the reason, Gu Ning had a bad impression of Shen Baixiang.

"Why is he approaching you again? Has he found out your real family background?" Gu Ning asked.

"No idea, but I don't want to see him again," Xu Qinyin said.

…

When they arrived at Gu Ning's office, Xu Qinyin met Zi Beiying for the first time, and they began to enjoy the tea together.

Both Xu Qinyin and Zi Beiying were talkative, so they soon got familiar with each other.

Gu Ning sat aside and listened to their conversation with a smile. She didn't feel bored at all.

"There are countless delicious specialties in the capital…" Xu Qinyin named many famous specialties in the capital and Zi Beiying's mouth was watering now.

"Let's go eat them all later!" Zi Beiying said with excitement.

"Can you eat them all?" Gu Ning was amused.

Zi Beiying thought for a while, then said, "We can continue tomorrow!"

She wasn't in a rush to go back home anyway.

When it was 5:30 pm, they left Shengning Tower for the food street.

The food street was open almost all day, and visitors from different cities or countries could find all kinds of specialties here.

Gu Ning didn't receive a call or message from Leng Shaoting the whole day, and she didn't text or call him either. It was obvious that he was very busy with his task, so Gu Ning wouldn't disturb him.

Both of them were mature adults, and they were very considerate in love too.

Chapter 1108 What a Shame!

Shen Baixiang gathered with several of his schoolmates that night, and he mentioned Gu Ning.The others didn't know Gu Ning, but Shen Baixiang told them how unbelievable Gu Ning was.

After that, Shen Baixiang also talked about Xu Qinyin, whom they were familiar with.

Most of them were Shen Baixiang's close friends, so they were aware that Shen Baixiang had rejected Xu Qinyin. They also knew the real reason why he had done it. However, they didn't think that it was wrong, because it was Shen Baixiang's choice.

Different people had different values and aims. It was not just Shen Baixiang, they also preferred to have a marriage between families of equal social status.

One of Shen Baixiang's schoolmates didn't know them before, so he wasn't aware of what had happened between Xu Qinyin and Shen Baixiang.

After knowing that Shen Baixiang had rejected Xu Qinyin, he was surprised. "What? Why?"

The others, instead, didn't understand why he looked so surprised.

"Why are you so surprised?" Shen Baixiang asked, and somehow felt that something wasn't right. Maybe it had been a bad decision to reject Xu Qinyin, but even though he had a bad feeling, he still refused to believe it.

"Come on, Xu Qinyin was born in the famous Xu family in the capital. You were quite lucky that she liked you," Shen Baixiang's schoolmate said.

She was born in the Xu family in the capital?

Everyone else was astonished.

"What Xu family?" someone asked at once.

"There is only one famous Xu family in the capital. The owner of the Jinlin Organization!" Shen Baixiang's schoolmate said.

"What?" Everyone was totally shocked this time, including Shen Baixiang.

If Xu Qinyin's family was the famous Xu family in the capital, he had missed a great chance to improve his family's social status.

At the same time, he wondered why Xu Qinqin didn't tell him the truth. If she had told him her real family background, he wouldn't have rejected her.

Anyway, Shen Baixiang couldn't tell his schoolmates his real thoughts, or his schoolmates would dislike him.

The moment they learned the truth, they all turned to look at Shen Baixiang with sympathy.

"Wow, what a shame!"

"Actually, even if Xu Qinyin is an ordinary girl, she's very beautiful."

Some people cared about benefits most, while others didn't.

"Um, I think it was fate." Shen Baixiang raised a smile.

"Is Xu Qinyin still single now? Baixiang, you can get her back!" Someone proposed.

Shen Baixiang smiled, but said nothing. He absolutely wanted to get Xu Qinyin back, but Xu Qinyin didn't bother to pay attention to him now.

Even though it wasn't very likely, Shen Baixiang still decided to try after knowing about Xu Qinyin's real family background.

Nevertheless, he lost his appetite.

…

Gu Ning and her friends left the food street later. She drove Xu Qinyin home first before she sent Zi Beiying, Mengda and Nan to the hotel, then she drove back to Leng Shaoting's house alone.

Zi Beiying could rent a car from the hotel if she needed one, and it would be also convenient for Gu Ning to have a car.

Shortly after Gu Ning was back in the house, she received Gu Man's call. Gu Man and Tang Yunfan already came back home from their honeymoon.

Once they were home, Tang Haifeng told them what Master Leng had said to him on the phone. Both Tang Yunfan and Gu Man thought that Master Leng really took it seriously.

After that, Gu Man called Gu Ning and told her that Master Leng planned to let her be engaged to Leng Shaoting first.

Gu Ning was amused by Master Leng's impatience for the engagement, but she could understand it, because it was very hard for Leng Shaoting to fall in love with a girl. Master Leng was worried that Gu Ning might change her mind and dump Leng Shaoting one day.

Although Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were determined to marry each other, nobody knew what would happen in the future. In addition, Leng Shaoting was a soldier, and it wasn't easy to divorce a soldier.

"Mom, how was your trip?" Gu Ning asked.

"Not bad, but I couldn't communicate with the local people, and it caused a little trouble," Gu Man said.

Gu Man didn't speak English, so it was indeed a problem for her to communicate with foreign people. Tang Yunfan could help her if she needed it, but she still felt more comfortable at home.

Gu Man was a little tired after the long-distance flight, so they didn't talk on the phone for long.

…

After hanging up the call with Gu Man, Gu Ning lay on the sofa to watch TV. She suddenly realised that she hadn't watched TV in a long time.

She kept changing the television channels, but failed to find any interesting programs. When she was about to turn it off, she found an entertainment show about movies.

Several movie experts were making their comments on the latest films, which includes Infinite Horror.

Most of them greatly complimented it, which cheered Gu Ning up. It was good news for Gu Ning that both the audience and movie critics liked the film she made.

She had heard many compliments on Infinite Horror from different people, but she still felt happy every time she heard it.

…

When it was about 12 am, Leng Shaoting was finally back.

He looked a little tired, so Gu Ning gave him a power crystal at once to refresh him.

Gu Ning didn't ask him where he went and what he had done, because she knew it was confidential.

"Shaoting, my mom just told me that Grandpa Leng has called my grandpa, and we can get engaged if you want," Gu Ning said.

Chapter 1109 The Future Queen

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was struck dumb for a second, but beamed with happiness the next second. Without hesitation, he kissed Gu Ning and began to undress her with great passion. He missed her so much.The next day, Leng Shaoting had to leave again at 7 am. Before he left, he said to Gu Ning and felt a little guilty, "Ningning, I'm sorry, I'm very busy these days, so I can't stay by your side during the day. I will probably be back tonight."

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," Gu Ning said with sincerity.

"Great," Leng Shaoting said, then kissed Gu Ning's forehead.

"Oh, wait a second." Gu Ning stopped Leng Shaoting when he was about to walk out. She took out a porcelain bottle with 10 power crystals inside and handed it to Leng Shaoting. "Take one whenever you feel exhausted."

Gu Ning understood that Leng Shaoting's work wasn't easy, and he probably didn't have much time to take a rest.

"Sure." Leng Shaoting put the bottle into his pocket, then left.

Afterwards, Gu Ning had breakfast alone.

…

A short while later, K called Gu Ning.

"Hi, boss, are you free now?" K asked.

"Yeah, what's up?" Gu Ning asked.

"Can we talk face to face? I'm in my office now," K said.

"No problem, I'll be right there," Gu Ning said.

"Come to the 11th floor please," K said. Their game company was on the 11th floor.

Gu Ning agreed, then left the house. She went straight to the 11th floor once she arrived at her company.

Except for K, there were about eight people on the 11th floor, and they were all computer experts.

"Hi, boss." K walked over at once.

"Come on, let me introduce our boss to you all," K said to the other people in the room. "This is the founder of our company, Gu Ning."

The others all stood up and greeted Gu Ning, "Nice to meet you, boss."

K had told them that their boss was a young girl, so they weren't surprised now when Gu Ning showed up.

In fact, they weren't very happy about the fact that their boss was still a teenager. They came to work here for the sake of K, and were annoyed after knowing that their boss was a young girl.

They felt it was embarrassing to work for a young girl, and they didn't understand why K was willing to work for Gu Ning. Nevertheless, they changed their mind after K told them what Gu Ning had achieved. Moreover, they were looking forward to the bright future they were going to have with Gu Ning.

Although they seemed calm, they were actually excited to meet Gu Ning in real life.

"Nice to meet you all." Gu Ning smiled at them.

Her kind attitude impressed them. They believed that she would be even more successful in the future.

"Alright, get back to your work now," K said, and they walked back to their seats. K then walked to his office with Gu Ning. "Some of them are my friends, and some of them are the friends of my friends. I'm not 100% sure that they are all reliable, but I'll keep a close eye on them."

Although K trusted them to some extent, it still needed time to prove their loyalty.

"Great," Gu Ning said. She wasn't worried about it.

"Um, the thing is that the game is about to be released. Boss, we all know that you're very popular. Can you join us and be the first game player so that your fans will be attracted to it later? Once they're interested in the game, I'm confident that over half of them will become loyal users," K said.

"No problem." Gu Ning agreed without hesitation. She was the boss after all, and she should do something to help K promote the game. If she did nothing, she wouldn't be a qualified boss.

K was excited. "Very well, I'll send you the game later, and you can play it for a while to see whether you know how to play it."

Because the game wasn't released yet, Gu Ning couldn't download it from the Internet, so K would directly send it to her.

"It's just a game. It won't be difficult for me," Gu Ning said with confidence.

Although she hadn't played mobile games before, she didn't think that it would be hard for her to learn the rules.

K obviously believed Go Ning.

…

It took a while for K to send Gu Ning the game. During this time, K gave Gu Ning a booklet which described all kinds of equipment, signs, and so on in the game.

Given Gu Ning's good memory, she was able to remember all of them after reading them once.

The name of the game was Battle in the Sky.

After the game was installed, Gu Ning had to create an account first, but she wondered what gaming name she should use?

K said she could call herself Goddess Gu, which was simple and people were familiar with it.

Gu Ning, however, thought that it sounded too narcissistic. It wasn't a good choice to use her real name either.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ning made a name, "the Future Queen".

She liked it very much.

Chapter 1110 Qi Ziyue Calls

"The Future Queen? Come on, you're already a queen right now," K joked."Well, I'll be a real queen when I become the richest businesswoman in this country," Gu Ning said with a serious expression.

She didn't bother to hide her ambition from her close friends.

Although it sounded very ambitious, K didn't think that it was impossible because he believed in Gu Ning.

Nobody knew what would happen in the future, but Gu Ning was always outstanding among her peers. She already became a billionaire at such an early stage, and it was very likely that she could be even more successful in the future.

"Great, the Future Queen!" K laughed.

Afterwards, Gu Ning began to choose her role in the game, and she picked a killer.

"You can get familiar with the buttons first, then we can have two teams to play a round together later," K said.

"Sure," Gu Ning said.

There was a simulated battle for beginners in the game. Although the virtual opponent wasn't very skillful, it was still challenging for beginners.

Gu Ning played the simulated battle for beginners for a while, and it only took a few minutes for her to get familiar with the rules and buttons.

"Alright, I'm ready for the real battle," Gu Ning said.

"Really?" K was surprised. He knew that Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, but it was still surprising that she could play the game well within a few minutes.

Since Gu Ning said she was ready, he agreed to have the battle now.

K then said to his colleagues, "Everyone, attention please. Now we can have a round of the new game to help our boss get more familiar with it."

"Sure," the others said.

They stopped working and took out their phones at once.

They were all excellent players, and couldn't be more familiar with the game.

Except for K, there were eight people, and they were divided into two teams. Every one of them needed to gain experience and fight against each other at the same time.

The seven of them used their junior game IDs to play with Gu Ning, because Gu Ning was a beginner.

Although they used their junior game IDs, they were actually senior game players, so they were definitely much better than Gu Ning when it came to the skills.

At the beginning, Gu Ning could barely win, but she improved her skills at a shocking pace.

The others all believed that she was a game genius. They totally devoted themselves to the game, and really enjoyed it.

Within a morning, Gu Ning grew to be Primary Level 20 from a beginner.

The game was divided into seven grades: primary grade, intermediate grade, advanced grade, god grade, holy grade, heaven grade and infinite grade. Each grade had 100 levels.

Therefore, although Primary Level 20 was still a very low level in the game, it normally took about a week for a beginner to reach it. However, Gu Ning only used a morning, which was amazing.

"Wow, boss, you're so unbelievable!"

"I can't believe it!"

"Boss, how did you do that?"

"Boss…"

They kept complimenting and asking Gu Ning questions.

"Well, I guess it's a gift," Gu Ning said.

The others agreed.

"When will this game be released?" Gu Ning asked.

"In about three or four days," K said.

"Great, I probably won't be in the capital after several days, so I'm afraid I can't show up at the news conference. I'll think of a better way to promote it," Gu Ning said.

"Sure," K said.

…

Gu Ning planned to have lunch at the cafeteria of her company later, but she received Qi Ziyue's call all of a sudden.

She grimaced when she saw the caller's name.

"Hi!" Gu Ning picked it up.

"Hi, Miss Tang, this is Qi Ziyue. Are you free today? We can go to visit Aining now," Qi Ziyue said.

"Sure, where and when?" Gu Ning asked.

Qi Ziyue must have set a trap for her, but Gu Ning wasn't afraid at all.

"How about 2 pm? No. 67, XX Villa District, XX Road," Qi Ziyue said.

"No problem, I'll be there," Gu Ning said, then left.

It was almost 12 pm, so she decided to have a simple meal outside. The capital was very large with too much traffic, and the place Qi Ziyue told her was a little far away so she didn't have much time.

When Gu Ning just walked out of an elevator, she ran into Ba Tianyang, who came back with a lunchbox.

Ba Tianyang's eyes lit up the second he saw Gu Ning. "Hi, boss, nice to see you!"

"Hi, how are you? Do you like your work here?" Gu Ning asked him with concern.

"Of course," Ba Tianyang said. In fact, he had never lived such a full life before. He used to be a killer and lived a cruel life. He kept chasing and killing his targets, and he could be killed at any second too.
