Chapter 651 Two Stunning Men

Gu Ning didn't know that another video about her went viral again, but she didn't care about it either.

Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning set off from the house around 10 am, and they arrived at the hotel when it was almost 12 pm because of the sudden attack.

"What took you so long?" Cao Wenxin asked. She wasn't complaining, but was worried about them. Cao Wenxin thought that they must have encountered a traffic jam, but they were late by nearly an hour.

"Something happened on our way," Gu Ning said, but didn't explain further. Cao Wenxin also stopped asking, since they were there now.

Their plane was about to take off at 1:50 pm, so they had to finish their lunch in a hurry and leave for the airport. They didn't have much time, so they sped up eating and finished their lunch before 12:30 pm.

Although they still had enough time to go to the airport, and normally it only took around half an hour to get there, they still needed to be quick in case they would be caught in traffic jams.

The car Leng Shaoting drove to the airport belonged to Shengshi Group, so he directly parked it in the parking lot, and his subordinates would come and drive it back.

Their group consisted of four good-looking young men and women, so they attracted a lot of attention once they walked inside.

Before they were aboard, Xin Bei received Xu Jinchen's call, and Xu Jinchen asked him where he was right now.

Xin Bei told Xu Jinchen that he was at the airport now and was going to fly to City B along with Leng Shaoting. Hearing that, Xu Jinchen was displeased. "Why didn't you tell me that you're going to City B?".

"If you want to go there, just fly there. We're about to board," Xin Bei said. He was thinking of Cao Wenxin all the time now, and totally forgot his close brother.

It turned out that Leng Shaoting wasn't the only one who valued his girlfriend above his close brothers.

"Oh, Si Ming is also in City B now, right?" Xin Bei remembered that Si Ming went to meet Qiu Yuxin in City B once he had fulfilled his task.

It seemed that they all valued their girlfriends above their close brothers.

Xu Jinchen felt very hurt all of a sudden. His close brothers all had a girlfriend now, while he was still single. He felt that he was the odd man out, and hesitated to join them in City B.

"Go there or not, it depends on you. I gotta go now. We're going aboard," Xin Bei said and hung up. He didn't care whether Xu Jinchen joined them.

Xin Bei didn't tell Xu Jinchen why they were flying to City B. If Xu Jinchen knew that they went there to attend the opening ceremony of Gu Ning's store, he would, of course, join them.

In the end, Xu Jinchen still decided to fly to City B. Therefore, he booked the latest plane ticket, and the plane would take off at 3:10 pm.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were two stunning men, and they were always the focus of people���s attention wherever they appeared. Once they were aboard, two stewardesses noticed them. The two stewardesses saw them walking into the cabin, and tried to find out which class they sat in.

Although Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei didn't sit in the First Class cabin, their outstanding appearances were attractive enough. In addition, not every rich man preferred to sit in the First Class cabin, because many rich people tended to keep a low profile.

When every passenger was aboard, the two stewardesses started to talk about them.

"Look at them! They're so handsome and sexy, especially the one in black."

"Indeed! I think the man in gray is a better choice, because the one in black seems so cold."

"I love the one in black."

"Why don't we try later to see which one is easier to pick up?"

"Why not!"

The two stewardesses were quite confident about themselves, but unfortunately they chose the wrong men and they were doomed to be disappointed.

In fact, both of the two stewardesses were very pretty, with good body shapes, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident. In normal cases, men would love to strike up a conversation with them even if they didn't take any action. However, they met two unusual men on this plane today.

Before the plane started, flight attendants had to make sure that every passenger was wearing his or her safety belt, so the two stewardesses walked to Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei at this moment.

In the beginning, Leng Shaoting's seat wasn't with Gu Ning but Xin Bei, so Gu Ning exchanged seats with Xin Bei and Xin Bei, of course, wouldn't disagree.

Both Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei sat on an aisle seat. The two stewardesses just walked by them and gave them a glance at first, but didn't say anything.

The closer they walked to them, the more excited they were, because Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were too handsome to be ignored.

The two stewardesses soon walked back with a pile of blankets in their hands.

Right at this moment, a passenger who sat on the window seat in the same row as Xin Bei needed a blanket, so the stewardess gave him one, and asked Xin Bei at the same time, "Sir, do you need a blanket?"

"No, thanks." Xin Bei was a gentleman, but didn't give the stewardess a glance at all, which disappointed her.

In order not to arouse any special attention, the stewardess also asked Cao Wenxin who sat next to Xin Bei, and Cao Wenxin declined too.

The other stewardess asked Leng Shaoting the same question, but she heard the same answer, and felt disappointed as well. She asked Gu Ning later, but Gu Ning didn't need one either.

Although it seemed that the stewardess didn't treat Leng Shaoting differently, Gu Ning still noticed the touch of disappointment flash by her eyes when Leng Shaoting declined.

Why did the stewardess seem disappointed when Shaoting declined a blanket and didn't give her a glance at all? Gu Ning thought to herself. She believed that the stewardess must be attracted to Leng Shaoting.

She was with Leng Shaoting right now, but the stewardess still tried to strike up a conversation with him. If she wasn't by his side, other women could be more proactive! Gu Ning was displeased, but didn't care much about it, because she knew Leng Shaoting very well.

The plane soon took off. When it flew steadily in the air, the flight attendants began to hand out drinks.

Since Gu Ning already knew that the stewardess admired Leng Shaoting, she purposefully clasped his arm when she walked over and they seemed very close. Therefore, the stewardess was quite upset when she saw that. Although the stewardess was upset, she still did her job and asked them what they wanted to drink.

Chapter 652 Jiang Zhongyu Faints

Both Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning ordered a cup of coffee. However, Xin Bei and Cao Wenxin weren't a couple yet, but they liked each other, so it was a little embarrassing when they sat together.

"Sir, what do you want to drink? Coffee, water, tea, or juice?" The stewardess put on a beautiful smile.

Xin Bei raised his head, but not to look at the stewardess. "Tea please," he said giving a glance at the drinks on the cart.

"Sure, please wait a second," the stewardess said, then went to prepare a cup of tea for Xin Bei. "What do you want to drink?" Xin Bei asked Cao Wenxin all of a sudden.

Seeing that, the stewardess was a little surprised that they knew each other and she wondered what their relationship was. However, since Xin Bei wasn't alone, she wouldn't keep on striking up a conversation with him.

"Coffee please," Cao Wenxin said.

After that, Xin Bei told the stewardess to prepare a cup of coffee for Cao Wenxin.

The stewardess stopped glancing at Xin Bei, and walked away later.

When the two stewardesses finally had a break, they talked about what they had been through, and both of them sighed with sadness. "Why can other stewardesses easily meet a rich boyfriend on a plane, but it's so hard for us!" one stewardess said.

"Exactly! We're not ugly or fat, and there are many rich men on a plane from the capital to City B, but none of them give us a glance, except those who are looking for a mistress or a one-night stand," the other said feeling very sad.

"I think it's probably because of our job. We're always flying from one city to another, and barely have free time. If any men want to have a girlfriend like us, they would have to tolerate our frequent absence."

"What should we do? Do we have to stay single and unmarried forever?"

"Who knows!"

In the capital, Jiang Ruiqin was reading documents in his family's company.

All of a sudden, he received his father's call and heard the bad news that his grandpa had fainted and was on the way to the Military General Hospital. After hearing the news, Jiang Ruiqin left the company in a hurry.

The Jiang family also called Master Leng and Master Xu, because they were Jiang Zhongyu's old close friends. An aged man could be in great danger once he became sick.

When Master Leng heard this news, he went to the Military General Hospital at once, carrying a bottle of power crystals that Gu Ning had given him.

Leng Shaoting had told him that this medicine was very effective. As long as the patient was still alive, a pill could save his or her life. After all, this medicine had healed a person with heart disease, and a person whose legs had been damaged for a long time.

Although Master Leng thought that it was too unbelievable, he did become much healthier after taking only two pills.

Since his old friend was in danger now, he felt that he should share this magical medicine with Master Jiang, no matter if it was really useful or not.

When Jiang Ruiqin arrived, Jiang Zhongyu had already been sent into the examination room. His father whose name was Jiang Zhengguo and his mother were also there, along with his uncle, Jiang Zhenghua and his aunt. They all seemed worried.

"Why did grandpa suddenly faint?" Jiang Ruiqin asked the moment he arrived.

"We didn't see any symptoms, your grandpa just passed out without any notice," Jiang Zhengguo said, frowning. Master Jiang was always healthy, and none of the Jiang family would have expected that he would faint all of a sudden.

"How long has grandpa been in there?" Jiang Ruiqin asked again.

"Two or three minutes," Jiang Zhengguo said.

After a while, Master Leng arrived and asked with anxiety, "What happened?"

"We don't know the cause yet, because my father seemed fine and then just passed out the next second, much to our surprise," Jiang Zhengguo said.

Master Leng took out the bottle of power crystals without delay, and gave it to Jiang Zhengguo. "Go check your father's condition right now. No matter how he is, help him take a pill. This medicine will melt once you put it into his mouth, so you don't need to be worried that he can't swallow it…"

Before Master Leng could finish, the door of the examination room was opened, and he ran forward at once.

"How is he now?" Master Leng asked in a hurry.

The doctors who had conducted the examination of Jiang Zhongyu were all senior experts in the Military General Hospital, including the vice director.

When the vice director of the hospital saw Master Leng, he was surprised, and answered with great respect. "Master Leng, Master Jiang has a cerebral thrombosis[1] and he's in great danger now. We plan to carry out the surgery right away."

"Zhengguo, Zhenghua, if you trust me, help your father take this pill first. We can wait for a few minutes and I think that he will probably be in a better condition." Master Leng looked at Jiang Zhengguo and Jiang Zhenghua.

Although Master Jiang was in great danger now, it took several minutes for the doctors to prepare for the surgery anyway.

"I trust you," Jiang Zhengguo said. Although he was still very worried, he believed that Master Leng wouldn't lie to him.

"Me too," Jiang Zhenghua said.

Since Master Leng said that, the vice director didn't dare to stop him, but they continued to prepare for the surgery as planned.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhengguo took the medicine bottle and the group of them walked into the examination room. Jiang Zhengguo took out a power crystal at once, and put it into Jiang Zhongyu's mouth. It did melt the second it was put inside.

Within two minutes, the cerebral arteries in Jiang Zhongyu's head gradually became clear, and the blood began to flow too, which shocked the vice director who was observing the medical equipment.

"Wow, i-it's…" The vice director didn't know what to say because of the great shock.

"What happened?" Master Leng and the others asked with anxiety.

"The cerebral arteries are becoming clear, and the blood is beginning to flow," the vice director took a deep breath and said in excitement.

"Is my father getting better?" Jiang Zhenghua asked with uncertainty and anticipation.

"Yes! It's so unbelievable!" The vice director was amazed, because he had never seen this before. "I think that there is no need to do the surgery, but Master Jiang still needs to stay in the hospital for a couple of days."

[1] A cerebral thrombosis is the presence of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses, which drain blood from the brain.

Chapter 653 Steal Shaoting's Girlfriend

Hearing that Master Jiang was getting better, everyone was cheered up. Although he was still in danger, it was very likely that he would wake up.

The vice director told his assistant to observe the medical equipment, then walked to Master Leng. "Master Leng, could you please tell me where you got this medicine?"

Hearing that, the others all realized and looked to Master Leng. "Indeed! Master Leng, where did you get this magical medicine?" Jiang Zhengguo asked.

"My future grand daughter-in-law gave me this. I'm able to be so healthy exactly because I'm taking this medicine," Master Leng said.

"What?" Hearing that, everyone was surprised.

"Shaoting's girlfriend?" Jiang Zhenghua asked.

"Yes!" Master Leng said.

"Well," Jiang Zhenghua sighed, "your future grand daughter-in-law is really an amazing girl. She has rescued my son and now she saved my father's life!"

"What? Do you mean Gu Ning is Leng Shaoting's girlfriend?" Jiang Ruiqin couldn't accept it.

"Do you know my future grand daughter-in-law?" Master Leng asked with curiosity.

Was this Gu Ning the girl he had met before at the antique street? There were many people of the same name, so Master Leng didn't pay much attention to it.

"Yeah," Jiang Ruiqin said with an absent look.

"Tell me something about her! What's she like? Is she an easy-going person?" Right at this moment, Master Leng totally forgot that his old close friend was still in danger, because he had a burning curiosity about Gu Ning. He didn't care about Gu Ning's appearance, as long as Leng Shaoting liked it, but her personality was very important. He would hate it if he couldn't get along well with his future grand daughter-in-law, because it would case Leng Shaoting trouble.

Jiang Ruiqin was astonished looking at Master Leng. Why did Master Leng know nothing about his future grand daughter-in-law?

Master Leng also felt embarrassed, but still explained, "Shaoting didn't tell me many details, and I didn't do a background check either because he'd be mad."

"Since he isn't willing to tell you, I can't tell you either," Jiang Ruiqin said, but felt quite sad.

"It's fine. I won't tell him that you told me." Master Leng made a promise.

Jiang Ruiqin thought for a while, then said, "Actually, I just met her, so I don't know much about her either, but I know she's very beautiful. If you want to know more about her, you can search her name on the Internet, because she has occupied the headlines for many days."

"Really? Why?" Everyone was shocked.

At this time, Jiang Zhongyu was regaining consciousness.

"Vice director, the patient's cerebral arteries and blood flow are getting back to normal, and he's regaining his consciousness!" the vice director's assistant said.

"What? Really?" Everyone went to surround Jiang Zhongyu in the room, and with great excitement they saw his finger moving.

Although Jiang Zhongyu's head was still in the equipment, so they weren't able to see his facial expression, it was a good sign that he was regaining his consciousness.

A doctor who had prepared for the surgery walked inside at this moment and told the vice director, "Vice director, the surgery room is ready."

"The patient is already out of danger. There is no need to carry out a surgery now," the vice director said in excitement.

If surgery was just an option, they preferred not to choose it, because it was also very dangerous.

"What? The patient is already out of danger?" The doctor was astonished.

Master Jiang had just been in great danger and could have died at any moment, but now he was already out of danger? The doctor knew that the vice director of this hospital wouldn't joke about the patient, but it was too unbelievable! Therefore, the doctor couldn't help but doubt whether the result of their diagnosis was correct. However, even though the doctor had doubts, he didn't dare to say anything different right now.

Since the surgery wasn't needed anymore, he had to leave to tell his colleagues.

Jiang Zhongyu was finally safe, but he still had to stay in the hospital under observation for a few days. Accordingly, Jiang Zhongyu was moved to a VIP patient room.

A while later, Jiang Zhongyu opened his eyes, but he still wasn't able to talk or move and it took time for him to recover.

Right at this moment, Master Xu finally arrived half an hour later than Master Leng, because he had been stuck in a traffic jam on the way from his house to the Military General Hospital.

Master Xu was anxious the entire time since he heard the bad news, because he was worried that he might not see his old friend the next day given an old person's condition.

Since Jiang Zhongyu was fine now, Master Xu was relieved. They were all aged men, and could die of diseases or age at any moment, but they still enjoyed their lives and always hoped to live a day longer. They didn't feel reluctant to leave this world, but just want to stay with their families as long as they could.

When Master Xu found out that it was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend's medicine which had saved Master Jiang's life, he was also shocked, and wished that Gu Ning could be his own grandson's girlfriend.

"Well, I wish the girl could be Jinchen's girlfriend," Master Xu said with envy, then his eyes lit up all of a sudden. "I don't think it's a bad idea if Jinchen is able to steal Shaoting's girlfriend away."

"Don't you dare! I'll never allow it to happen!" Master Leng seemed mad and aggressive.

Chapter 654 Master Leng Finds Out More About Gu Ning

His grandson finally had a girlfriend, and he would never allow anyone to steal his grandson's girlfriend away.

Master Xu snorted with laughter. "Shaoting is too cold, and he must know nothing about romance, right? Girls all love romantic gentlemen, and nobody wants to face a cold face all day. It'll be so boring and the girl could soon be bored. Jinchen, on the other hand, is very different. He's easy-going and outgoing, and we're often amused by him. A girl can only be happy with such a man like Jinchen! A long-lasting relationship requires romance, surprises and happiness!"

The reason why Master Xu criticized Leng Shaoting and compliment Xu Jinchen was that he felt it was unfair that Leng Shaoting who was always wearing a cold face could have such an outstanding girlfriend, while his grandson, Xu Jinchen who was humorous and gentle, was still single.

However, Master Xu's words alerted Master Leng. Leng Shaoting indeed stayed aloof from others and even seldom smiled at his own grandpa. Nobody was willing to look at a cold face all day!

Although Leng Shaoting had told Master Leng that he dated the girl for the purpose of getting married, Master Leng was afraid that the girl would get bored with his personality in the future.

Thinking of that, Master Leng was anxious. He thought that he should remind his grandson to take good care of his future grand daughter-in-law in case someone else stole the girl away. Without delay, Master Leng called Leng Shaoting, but Leng Shaoting's phone was powered off at this moment.

Seeing Master Leng's reactions, everyone was amused.

Even though the others were all smiling at him, Master Leng still pretended to be calm. All of a sudden, Master Leng remembered what Jiang Ruiqin had told him.

"Chen Bing, search Gu Ning's name with your phone right now," Master Leng said to his bodyguard.

Master Leng was the older generation, so he didn't really know how to use smartphones.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Bing answered, and searched Gu Ning's name on the Internet at once.

"Leng, why are you searching Girl Gu's name?" Master Xu asked with confusion, because they only knew one girl whose name was Gu Ning who was the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store, but they didn't know that Leng Shaoting's girlfriend was also named Gu Ning.

"We'll find out with the result." Master Leng didn't explain further to Master Xu, because he himself didn't know much about it yet.

Nonetheless, Jiang Ruiqin realized that Master Xu must know Gu Ning, but how come Master Leng knew nothing about her?

Once Chen Bing clicked the search button, he was shocked by the results. There were many pieces of news about Gu Ning, but the top entry included everything.

"What's wrong?" Master Leng asked with worries.

"Master Leng, please read it yourself!" Chen Bing clicked the top entry open and gave Master Leng his phone. Master Leng took it at once, and Master Xu approached him to have a look too.

Jiang Zhengguo and the others were also curious, so they all took out their phones to search Gu Ning's name on the Internet.

The Amazing National Goddess – Gu Ning

Gu Ning, an 18-year-old senior student in high school, has made a lot of achievements which are far beyond normal people's abilities. The clearest picture of Gu Ning was under the description.

When Master Leng and Master Xu saw the picture, both of them were astonished too.

And the following were pieces of news about Gu Ning that had gone viral on the Internet.

A car accident on a highway in City D. A brave and powerful girl caught its wheel! (Pictures Attached).

In the capital, a man kidnapped a boy on an overpass. A girl caught the man from behind. (Video Attached]

In City G, migrant workers had severe conflicts with a land developer. A girl alone beat a group of security officers down. (Video Attached]

After reading the news, not only Master Leng and Master Xu, but everyone else was also shocked.

"Wow, Girl Gu is so unbelievable!" Master Xu said in astonishment.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha!" Master Leng, however, burst into laughter right in the patient room.

Just when Master Xu seemed confused about the reason why Master Leng suddenly laughed out loud, Master Leng said, "Very well! No wonder my grandson likes her so much, my good grand daughter-in-law!"

This time, Master Leng omitted the "future" word, because he now quite approved of Gu Ning. He also understood why Leng Shaoting's young girlfriend could have so many real antiques, because she was the boss of Xiangyun Antique-store!

Gu Ning was able to send the rare King's Green jade to him precisely because she owned a high-end jewelry store. In addition, she was as good at fighting as the special forces. Master Leng wondered whether she could beat Leng Shaoting in a fight.

Chapter 655 Grandpa Sounds Different Today

Master Leng knew that Leng Shaoting was an ace soldier, but he didn't know the exact level of Leng Shaoting's skills.

Gu Ning was only 18 years old, but she was already so excellent at fighting. She must have received years of training ever since she was a little girl! Thinking of that, Master Leng's heart ached for her.

At the same time, Master Leng was suspicious about the reason why Gu Ning had practiced kung fu for so many years ever since she was a little girl. What were the conditions that had made her suffer from an early age?

Master Leng had a suspicion about Gu Ning's background. He was right. In Gu Ning's previous incarnation, she was an industrial spy as well as a killer, but now her soul was in a different body. Anyway, Gu Ning was innocent in this incarnation.

Although Master Leng had a suspicion, he believed that Leng Shaoting could handle it well.

"What grand daughter-in-law?" Master Xu hadn't figured it out yet.

"Didn't you read the second piece of news?" Master Leng rolled his eyes at Master Xu, then slid the screen to show him. In the capital, a man kidnapped a boy on an overpass. A girl caught the man from his back. (Video Attached] The girl in the news was precisely Gu Ning.

After reading it, it dawned on Master Xu that the boy in the news was Master Jiang's grandson, Jiang Haoyang, and the girl who had rescued him was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend. In that case, Leng Shaoting's girlfriend was exactly the Gu Ning they had met before. It was too shocking for Master Xu to get his mind back within a short time. This young girl was indeed unbelievable!

Master Leng was thrilled to find out who his grand daughter-in-law was. Afterwards, he remembered that his old close friend, Jiang Zhongyu, was still lying on the patient bed. Luckily, Jiang Zhongyu was getting better now, so there was nothing to be worried about.

Around a dozen minutes later, Master Leng and Master Xu left together.

At this moment, Jiang Ruiqin knew that it was impossible that he could be with Gu Ning. If Gu Ning's boyfriend was someone else, he would try to compete for her. However, Leng Shaoting was someone he didn't dare mess with. In addition, he was unwilling to steal another man's girlfriend. Besides, his grandpa was still lying on the patient bed now, so he wasn't in the mood to think about his own personal affairs.

When it was 4 pm, the plane landed at the airport in City B.

Leng Shaoting turned his phone on once he got off the plane, and saw a missed call from his grandpa, so he called back.

The minute Master Leng answered Leng Shaoting's call, he said with sincerity, "Shaoting, an old friend of mine told me that a man with a cold face isn't popular among girls. Girls all like romantic gentlemen, so you must learn how to be gentle and romantic, otherwise your girlfriend will be bored with your cold face in the future no matter how handsome you are! Don't let other humorous and romantic men steal your girlfriend away from you!"

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was struck dumb for a second, because it wasn't his grandpa's usual style of talking. However, what his grandpa said alerted him. He indeed had no idea how to be gentle and romantic, and he seldom smiled. Although he trusted Gu Ning, he was still worried that she might leave him one day.

Thinking about that, Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning with mixed emotions. He made up his mind to learn to be gentle, romantic and humorous; he would never allow any men to steal Gu Ning away from him.

Gu Ning was also surprised after hearing what Master Leng said. It sounded like someone was going to steal her away right now.

Leng Shaoting wasn't as gentle or attentive as normal men, but he cared about her and valued her highly, which 90% of men couldn't do. Even though Leng Shaoting wasn't romantic, she didn't mind and loved him as always. Since she believed that he was her Mr. Right, she would be loyal to him as long as he was loyal to her and never hurt her.

"Sure, I understand," Leng Shaoting said, then hung up. Afterwards, he held Gu Ning's hand and clasped it, like he would lose her once he loosened his hand. "Ningning, You are mine, and you can only be mine during this lifetime."

Gu Ning was amused. "Yes, of course."

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was cheered up.

Gu Ning also saw a missed call from Qiao Ya when she turned her phone on. Qiao Ya had called her an hour ago, so she believed that they must have arrived. Gu Ning then called Qiao Ya back. She was right. Qiao Ya and Gao Yi were now resting in the Huangdeng Hotel downtown as Gu Ning had told them to.

Gu Ning told her that she would meet them a while later in the hotel.

Cao Wenxin's Land Rover was parked in the parking lot, so they went to the city center in it.

Gu Ning still had something else to deal with, so she didn't go to the Tang family's house right away, but called Gu Man and told her that she was safe.

Gu Ning planned to meet Zhou Zhenghong first to check the jewelry branch and see how everything was going with the opening ceremony which would be held tomorrow. After that, she had to meet Yu Zi to see whether the gowns were well-prepared.

Gu Ning checked the work in person, not because she didn't trust Quan Mingkai or Zhou Zhenghong, but to set her mind at rest.

Gu Ning then called Zhou Zhenghong and asked him where he was right now.

Zhou Zhenghong was in the jewelry branch, so Gu Ning told Xin Bei its address and they drove straight to it.

Xin Bei was the driver, because he was already recovered. However, he disliked Cao Wenxin's car because it was bright red, which was too noticeable. Xin Bei was a straight man, and he couldn't tolerate bright red. Since there were two men in the car, they wouldn't bother the women to drive, and Xin Bei didn't dare let Leng Shaoting be the driver. Although they were teammates, Leng Shaoting was in fact the leader in their team.

Even if Leng Shaoting never cared about that, they still had to behave according to the rules, so Xin Bei became the driver in the end.

The Tang family helped Gu Ning find a store right outside of the southern door of Fengshang Shopping Mall. Fengshang Shopping Mall was very large and it wasn't a simple building. It was a hundred and twenty thousand square-meter recreation center which consisted of 40% catering, 20% entertainment, and 40% retail apparel.

In City B, the majority of people chose to spend money at Fengshang Shopping Mall.

Chapter 656 Sexual Orientation

The branch of Jade Beauty Jewelry was located near the southern door, while the Charm flagship store was at the northern door, so it took around a dozen minutes to walk from Jade Beauty Jewelry to Charm.

After they parked the car in the underground parking lot near the southern door, they walked to the branch of Jade Beauty Jewelry.

The Jade Beauty Jewelry store in City B was much larger than that in City G, and it was decorated in a much more luxurious style. City B was an international city after all, and there were many well-known, high-end jewelry brands here, so Jade Beauty Jewelry had to stay as luxurious as possible to attract potential customers' attention.

Many women were doing window shopping outside of Jade Beauty Jewelry. They were all stunned by the glory of the jade jewelry placed inside, but none of them could afford it.

Gu Ning and the others, however, walked inside without hesitation.

"Nice to see you, boss!" a saleswoman greeted Gu Ning with respect once she appeared.

Although it was the first time the staff working in the store had seen Gu Ning in real life, they had all seen her photos on the Internet beforehand. Therefore, it was quite easy for them to recognize her.

Other staff also greeted Gu Ning with respect.

Hearing their voices, Zhou Zhenghong walked to them at once. "Welcome, boss and Mr. Leng!"

"How is everything going?" Gu Ning asked. "It's almost done," Zhou Zhenghong said.

"Please look around as you like, I need to discuss something with Uncle Zhou," Gu Ning said to her friends.

"Sure," Cao Wenxin said, then went to look around at the jade jewelry in excitement.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei, however, weren't interested, so they walked to sit in the lounge, and the manager of this store served two cups of tea to them.

The lounge in the store was also large, and it was around 10 square meters.

The rent per square meters in Fengshang Shopping Mall was very high, so the rent of a store the size of the lounge could cost over ten thousand yuan a month!

Zhou Zhenghong guided Gu Ning to walk around the store and reported on his work to her at the same time.

The opening ceremony would begin at 10 am tomorrow, and the runway show would be held around 12 pm at the banquet hall in Huangdeng Hotel.

As for the invitation letters, Zhou Zhenghong used to think that it would be difficult to hand them all out. However, to his surprise, many either important or famous figures asked him for it, including many reporters, once the Tang family was involved.

The mysterious Miss Gu would appear at the runway show, so many people wanted to see her, given all the unbelievable things she had done and achieved.

After a while, Gu Ning and the others left for Charm to check on the gowns.

When they walked in the shopping mall, they were the focus of people's attention as usual.

"Wow, the men are so handsome!" Most of the people were attracted to Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei at first.

"Indeed! I've never seen such handsome men like them before!"

The majority of the shoppers were women, but some also recognized Gu Ning.

"Look! Is she Goddess Gu?" A girl who was Gu Ning's age was astonished and couldn't believe her eyes, so she asked her friend.

Her friend looked over, and was thrilled at once. "She is! She is Goddess Gu! OMG, I didn't expect to encounter my idol today! Look at the man beside her! He's so000 handsome! I must take pictures of them."

Saying that, the other girl drew out her phone and took many photos of Gu Ning.

Gu Ning and the others, of course, heard their loud discussion, but Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei didn't react to those onlookers. Cao Wenxin, on the other hand, was amused.

Other people around hadn't heard of Goddess Gu, but they all agreed that the group of them was truly good-looking. Could any of them be stars? If they were stars, why did they suddenly show up in a shopping mall without any assistants or bodyguards? Either way, other people were also stunned by their appearances, so they took many pictures too.

The two girls however, were paying their full attention to Gu Ning, and didn't notice a marble on the ground. One of them stepped on it and slipped backwards at short notice. Right behind the girl was a large bonsai. If she fell on it, she would knock her head.

It was so abrupt that the other girl beside her didn't react to pull her back in time. Others around them were standing still in shock too.

Seeing that, Gu Ning dashed over, and caught the girl's wrist just as she was about to fall on the bonsai and pulled her back.

The scene shocked everyone again.

A few seconds later, the crowd finally got their minds back. Some acclaimed Gu Ning, and some even applauded. What had happened was filmed by their phones as well.

"Qingqing, are you alright?" The girl's friend ran to her at once.

"Y-yeah…" The girl's voice was still trembling and her face turned pale. She then looked to Gu Ning with great admiration, and thanked her, "Thank you so much, Goddess Gu!"

"Goddess Gu, you're so amazing!" Another girl also looked at Gu Ning with deep admiration.

"My pleasure. Be careful!" Gu Ning smiled, then turned around walking away. However, the two girls were stunned by her beautiful smile.

"Oh, no, I doubt my sexual orientation now. I think I just fell in love with Goddess Gu's smile!" a girl said.

"Me too!" another girl said.

Gu Ning and the others hadn't walked very far yet and they heard the two girls' talk again.

Gu Ning didn't know what to say. Leng Shaoting, on the other hand, was displeased, because he wouldn't allow anyone else to admire or chase his girlfriend, even if they were girls.

Xin Bei felt that it was very funny because it was the first time that he had seen his boss get jealous just because of two young girls.

Chapter 657 Who Are They?

Cao Wenxin joked, "Ningning, you're so charming that even girls doubt their sexual orientation once you appear."

Gu Ning wore a resigned smile, but she finally understood the feelings of a popular star. Although she wasn't a star herself, she had become the hottest topic many times like a star!

The video was uploaded to the Internet after a short time, and it threw a bomb among countless Internet users again without doubt. A person in the spotlight was liable to be attacked, so many people criticized Gu Ning although the majority was supportive.

"It's a good thing to save others' lives, but is it necessary to post it on the Internet every time? I wonder whether it's a publicity stunt."

"Goddess Gu doesn't need a publicity stunt. She isn't a star, and the video was uploaded by a passer-by."

"Exactly! It's not Goddess Gu's fault."

"Haters, are you just being jealous?"

Once someone criticized Gu Ning, Gu Ning's loyal fans would attack him or her.

"No matter whether it's a publicity stunt or not, I think she should stop consuming our attention."

"Don't pay attention to it if you dislike it!"

"Agree!"

"Although she isn't a star now, she can make her debut at any moment."

"If Goddess Gu wants to be a star, I think she's qualified. In addition, don't you know Goddess Gu already has over a hundred million yuan in wealth?"

"Goddess Gu doesn't lack money at all!"

Afterwards, many Internet users began to discuss Jade Beauty Jewelry.

"I heard the Jade Beauty Jewelry will hold sweepstakes tomorrow, and the prize is a jade pendant which is worth over a hundred thousand yuan! Who is going with me?"

"I'll go with you!"

"Me too!"

"I won't miss it either!"

The Jade Beauty Jewelry was indeed going to hold sweepstakes tomorrow at its opening ceremony, and there would be ten people who could win the prize of the jade pendant. Gu Ning was really a generous boss!

In fact, it was all because those pieces of jade didn't cost her much. If she was a normal jewelry businessmen, she obviously wouldn't be willing to set a prize at such a high price.

The jade pendant was priced over a hundred thousand yuan in ordinary people's eyes, but it valued no higher than a stone for Gu Ning. Even so, only ten people could win the prize, which wasn't easy.

Besides, the sweepstakes was open to all comers, while the prize was so expensive, so many people would love to join it. Probably over hundreds or even thousands of people would take part in the activity.

Other than the 10 big prizes, there were another 50 small prizes too.

Some people who didn't live in City B felt that it was quite a shame that they couldn't participate in the activity, because it cost a lot of money and time to fly to City B. Even so, a few people who were fans of Gu Ning and Su Tongnuo still made up their mind to join in the activity, because both Su Tongnuo and Gu Ning would appear at the ceremony.

Su Tongnuo was a star after all, so she had many loyal fans.

In Charm, there were many customers who were attracted by the ad.

Moreover, there were less than 50 sets of gowns in the store now, which meant that Charm had sold out over half of its gowns within just three days!

As for the rest of the gowns in the store, people didn't choose them because they didn't fit them well, and they ordered customized gowns.

"Wow, the men are so handsome!"

Once Gu Ning and the others walked near, some women exclaimed in great surprise.

Hearing that, silence fell on the store all of a sudden, and everyone turned to look at the group who just walked inside. However, almost everyone ignored Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning, but focused on Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei.

were

The majority of the customers in the store were women, and there were only a few men, so Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei became their focus.

"Wow, the men are so handsome!"

"Who are they? Are they stars?"

"No way! Celebrities would never show up here!"

"Right, what a shame that they aren't actors!"

"Exactly!"

All the women couldn't stop talking about them.

The reason why they thought that Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei could be stars was because the entertainment industry consisted of good-looking people.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were already used to it, but they disliked it, especially Leng Shaoting. However, they remained quiet.

Women exclaimed in surprise when they saw handsome men, but they also felt jealous if there were beautiful girls beside them. Therefore, many women looked at Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin with jealousy.

Facing that, Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin didn't mind at all.

"Hi!" Yu Zi walked to them with a broad smile at once, and felt a little embarrassed at the customers' reaction.

Since there were many customers in the store, Yu Zi didn't know whether she should call Gu Ning her boss or not, so she gave up.

"Hi! I come here to have a look. Have you prepared the gowns?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yes, of course," Yu Zi said.

"Please give the gowns to me, and I'll store them in the hotel," Gu Ning said. In fact, she planned to sit for a while in the store, but gave up seeing as there were so many people inside.

"Sure, please wait a second," Yu Zi said, then went to take out gowns from the storeroom.

Every set of gown was well and separately packed, and there were ten of them in all.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei didn't hesitate to carry the 10 boxes. They were well-trained soldiers anyway, so it was just a piece of cake for them.

After taking the gowns, Gu Ning and the others left.

"Who are they?" Once they were gone, someone asked Yu Zi.

Chapter 658 Biological Cousins

"The girl who just talked with me is actually the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Charm, Miss Gu," Yu Zi said.

"What? She is the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Charm?" Hearing that, everyone was shocked. They all ached to see the boss of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Charm, but had failed to recognize her when she appeared!

"Miss Yu, why didn't you tell us?" someone complained.

"Exactly! I'm Goddess Gu's loyal fan!" Several women said around Yu Zi, but Yu Zi didn't know what to say, because those women had just been jealous of Gu Ning's outstanding appearance.

Gu Ning and the others left for the Huangdeng Hotel once they walked out of the shopping mall.

On the way, Xin Bei received Xu Jinchen's call, but he was driving, so Leng Shaoting answered it.

Leng Shaoting told Xu Jinchen the address, and Xu Jinchen would drive there himself. Afterwards, Leng Shaoming called Si Ming and told him to meet them there.

When they were about to arrive at the hotel, Gu Ning called Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, and told them to meet her in the hall.

The moment Gu Ning and the others walked inside, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya noticed them and walked to her. "Nice to see you, Miss Gu!"

Gu Ning and Qiao Ya always called Gu Ning, Miss Gu, in public. They then greeted Leng Shaoting. Because Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning's boyfriend, they had to be respectful. As for Cao Wenxin and Xin Bei, they didn't know them, so they just acknowledged them by nodding

Once Xin Bei met Gao Yi and Qiao Ya, he sensed that they weren't ordinary people, but were as well-trained as him. He didn't think that they were soldiers, but their hands must have touched human blood. Xin Bei wouldn't explore their real identity, but he wouldn't have found anything anyway.

"Please give the boxes to them," Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei

Hearing that, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya moved a step forward and took the boxes without delay.

"How can you let a woman carry heavy stuff!" Cao Wenxin was dissatisfied. She didn't realize that Qiao Ya wasn't a common woman, but just felt that Qiao Ya was a little cold. Anyway, Qiao Ya was a woman, and the two big men's hands were empty now.

Hearing that, Xin Bei felt embarrassed, and walked ahead to take the boxes back, in case he left a bad impression on Cao Wenxin.

"It's fine. She can handle it," Gu Ning said

Since Gu Ning said so, Cao Wenxin didn't insist.

"They are my subordinates, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya." Gu Ning introduced. "This is my older cousin, Cao Wenxin, and this is Shaoting's close brother, Xin Bei."

"Older cousin? Wenxin is your older cousin?" Xin Bei was surprised.

Cao Wenxin's mother was born in the Tang family. If Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin were cousins, Gu Ning must be a member of the Tang family too. However, Gu Ning's family name wasn't Tang.

"What? Anything wrong with that?" Cao Wenxin opened her mouth before Gu Ning could, and seemed displeased.

"Biological cousins?" Xin Bei asked.

"Of course!" Cao Wenxin said with pride.

After that, Gu Ning walked to the reception, and a waiter guided them to the banquet hall.

They booked the No.1 banquet hall, which was one thousand six hundred square-meters large, and it was already well-prepared.

While they were checking the hall, Si Ming and Qiu Yuxin arrived.

"Hey, Gu Ning, Good for you! You are now the national goddess," Si Ming joked, but he really admired Gu Ning.

"You're even more famous than me now! I'm so jealous of you," Qiu Yuxin teased.

"Ha-ha, I guess nobody can resist my charm," Gu Ning also joked.

"I do respect your charm because it made Shaoting fall in love with you," Si Ming said.

"Me too!" Xin Bei and Cao Wenxin agreed.

Leng Shaoting looked to Gu Ning with his eyes full of love for her, and Gu Ning flushed.

Right at this moment, Gu Ning's phone rang. It was Su Tongnuo's call. Gu Ning had told her to meet in the hotel, so Su Tongnuo didn't contact Gu Ning until she arrived. Su Tongnuo then walked into the banquet hall.

"Nice to see you again, Miss Gu!" Su Tongnuo and Lin Xiaoxia greeted Gu Ning politely. Gu Ning had told them not to call her boss in public.

"Hi!" Gu Ning nodded at them.

After that, Su Tongnuo turned to greet Cao Wenxin. "Been a while, Wenxin!" Although Su Tongnuo and Cao Wenxin weren't very familiar, they weren't strangers either.

"Tongnuo, you're really successful now!" Cao Wenxin smiled and joked.

"It's all because of you, and I seriously don't know how to thank you enough!" Su Tongnuo said with sincerity. If Cao Wenxin hadn't introduced her to Gu Ning, she could still be shut out from the entertainment industry right now!

"It's no big deal. We're friends after all," Cao Wenxin said with a smile.

Afterwards, Gu Ning introduced Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei to Su Tongnuo. When Su Tongnuo saw them, she was stunned by their outstanding appearances too.

They went to dine together after checking the hall.

When they went back to the hotel lobby, Gu Ning used her Black Card to book a standard room for Su Tongnuo and Lin Xiaoxia, and a presidential suite for Gao Yi.

Gu Ning left the gowns with Gao Yi and told him to take care of them.

The models would arrive two hours early tomorrow morning, and they need to have a rehearsal before they put on make-up and clothing and waited for the show.

Gu Ning would bring jade jewelry with her tomorrow and models could wear it then.

Chapter 659 They Work for You?

Qiao Ya would follow Gu Ning going back to Huafu Hills. Gu Ning planned to bring Gu Man to have some fun in City B tomorrow, but she didn't have much time to keep Gu Man company, so Qiao Ya would be Gu Man's bodyguard.

Although Feng Xueqin hadn't done anything to hurt Gu Man yet, she was a threat.

Feng Xueqin would show up tomorrow if no accidents happened. She could recognize Gu Ning and Gu Man when they met tomorrow. If she wanted to hurt Gu Man, Qiao Ya would be able to stop her.

Leng Shaoting also went back to Huafu Hills along with Gu Ning. Since Gu Man already knew about their relationship, there was no need for him to hide anymore.

As for Xin Bei, Gu Ning proposed to book a room for him too, but was declined. Xin Bei preferred to stay in the Jinlin Hotel with Xu Jinchen.

There were more than one Jinlin Hotel in City B. The Jinlin Hotel and the Huangdeng Hotel were both five-star hotels. Other than them, the Shengshi Hotel which belonged to Shengshi Group was also an international five-star hotel, and its branches were all across the major cities in this country. Therefore, they had many choices of hotels, and Gu Ning didn't insist.

After that, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya went to the room with the gowns. They would meet the others a little later.

A short while after they gathered in a private room, Xu Jinchen arrived. He complained that none of them had told him that they would be coming to City B. When he found out that they came to City B to attend the opening ceremony of Gu Ning's jewelry branch, he was more upset, because nobody had informed him about that either. Even so, he didn't dare complain about Gu Ning, since Leng Shaoting was in the room.

However, when Gao Yi and Qiao Ya walked inside, Xu Jinchen abruptly stood up with an angry face. Gao Yi and Qiao Ya seemed mad and aggressive all of a sudden too.

When they met each other's eyes with hatred and anger, the atmosphere in the room was rather tense.

The others were all surprised by Xu Jinchen's reaction, and realized that there had to be an old grudge between them.

Qiu Yuxin, Su Tongnuo and Lin Xiaoxia were a little scared, because they were weak women and were afraid of being hurt it they were going to fight.

Qiu Yuxin would actually be safe as long as Si Ming was here.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Jinchen asked in deep cold voice.

"None of your business," Gao Yi said.

"Since we've run into each other, let's put an end to what happened last time," Xu Jinchen said, like he was going to kill someone.

"Sure, I need to take revenge too!" it seemed that Gao Yi was going to fight as well.

"I don't care what grudge you have against one another. Now is dinner time, and I won't allow anything else to happen here," Gu Ning said to interrupt them.

"Yes, Miss Gu," Gao Yi said, then walked to vacant seats with Qiao Ya. Both of them would follow Gu Ning's orders under any conditions.

Hearing that, Xu Jinchen was astonished.

"Gu Ning, do they work for you?" he asked with uncertainty.

"Yes," Gu Ning said. "They work for me, so I have the right to know what happened, but not now. Let's enjoy the dinner first.'

If they worked for Gu Ning, Xu Jinchen hesitated over whether to take his revenge.

"Do you know their previous occupation?" Xu Jinchen asked, in case Gu Ning was cheated by them.

"Yes," Gu Ning said.

Since she said so, Xu Jinchen didn't say anything further and sat down.

Dishes were soon placed on the table, but Gao Yi, Qiao Ya and Xu Jinchen lost their appetites.

After dinner, Su Tongnuo and Lin Xiaoxia left first, knowing that it wasn't the right time to stay here. Cao Wenxin and Qiu Yuxin also walked out. The people left in the room were all members of either side.

Xu Jinchen then revealed the grudge between them.

Two years ago, Xu Jinchen had to fulfill a task and catch a cultural relics trafficking team. However, the illegal team was also Flying Eagle and Flying Bird's target, so they had fought against each other to finish their own tasks. In the end, neither of them had won. Those cultural relics had been broken and the head of the illegal team had also escaped.

Xu Jinchen had been injured because of that and had stayed in the hospital for half a month. He had also hurt Flying Bird who was Qiao Ya, and Qiao Ya had stayed in the hospital for a long time too. Therefore, they held a great grudge against one another.

During the past years, they had tried to find each other to take revenge, but failed. Unexpectedly, they encountered one another today.

"I know that it's an old grudge, but all of you just did your job back then. I hope that it can come to an end today, but I won't stop it either if you want to have your revenge," Gu Ning said. She wouldn't help or stop any of them. Gu Ning didn't have the right to make the decision for them after all.

However, she did believe that it wouldn't do any of them any good if they fought against each other. In addition, they had been injured to almost the same degree back then, so it wasn't difficult for them to let it go.

"We'll listen to you, Miss Gu," Gao Yi and Qiao Ya said at the same time.

Although Xu Jinchen seemed unwilling to give up, he decided to let it go in the end since Gu Ning asked. He wasn't willing to cause trouble for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting either. If Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting ran into conflict because of him, he would feel guilty.

"Fine, for Gu Ning's sake, let bygones be bygones," Xu Jinchen said.

Although they all agreed on it, they still disliked each other.

Since it was settled, they left a while later too.

Leng Shaoting remained silent from the beginning to the end, and didn't interfere in Gu Ning's solution.

A group of them went to the parking lot together.

Leng Shaoting had a car which was prepared for him by his subordinates, but Xin Bei and Xu Jinchen didn't. Cao Wenxin then gave her car key to Xin Bei. "You can drive mine!" After that, they separated.

Gao Yi walked them to the underground parking lot, and didn't go back until they were gone.

When the car stopped outside of the door, Leng Shaoting took out many gifts from the trunk, which surprised Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning

"Why did you bring so many gifts?" Gu Ning asked.

Chapter 660 Future Father-in-law

Before Leng Shaoting could explain, Cao Wenxin said, "Well, it's the first time that he has visited his future father-in-law so, of course, he should bring some gifts."

Cao Wenxin was right. It would be impolite if Leng Shaoting didn't bring any gifts to visit his future father-in-law for the first time. Nobody would like an impolite man.

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood, but Leng Shaoting brought too many gifts with him! However, he had already prepared so many gifts, so Gu Ning didn't say anything further.

Because there were too many gifts, Leng Shaoting couldn't carry all of them alone. Gu Ning then told Qiao Ya to help him.

Gu Ning didn't carry some herself, because she wasn't a guest.

In the Tang family's house, Tang Haifeng was in the study, and the others were chatting in the living hall. When they heard the sound of a car, they knew that Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin were back, so none of them went outside to welcome them. However, when a handsome young man appeared in their sight with so many gifts in his hands, they were all astonished.

"Hi, Shaoting, Qiao Ya!" Gu Man stood up at once. Seeing that they carried so many gifts, Gu Man said, "Why did you bring so many gifts with you? You don't have to do that."

Ever since Gu Man had found out that Leng Shaoting was Gu Ning's boyfriend, she became more friendly to him. Gu Ning believed that Leng Shaoting was her Mr. Right, so he was a member of their family, and Gu Man naturally wanted to treat him well.

"Nice to see you again!" Leng Shaoting greeted her politely.

"Nice to see you, Madam," Qiao Ya said.

"Come in and have a seat!" Jiang Lihua said to them with a smile.

They walked in the living hall later, and Leng Shaoting put the gifts down on the nearby table.

"So nice to meet you, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang," Leng Shaoting greeted the other members in the Tang family. He did his best to sound kind, but it wasn't very natural. Luckily, nobody noticed that.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang," Qiao Ya said.

"Have a seat please!" Tang Yunfan said.

After that, they were all seated.

"Please let me introduce you, this is Qiao Ya who is my assistant." Gu Ning introduced Qiao Ya first, then turned to Leng Shaoting. She knew that it would be shocking when they found out about Leng Shaoting's relationship with her. "And this is my boyfriend, Leng Shaoting," Gu Ning added.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe their ears.

"What? Boyfriend?" At the same time, they remembered that Tang Haifeng had told them about that. Gu Ning already had a boyfriend at 18.

In fact, the Tang family thought that 18 was too early for a girl to date someone.

Tang Yunfan was especially displeased, because he had just found his biological daughter, and now another man grabbed her away? Therefore, Tang Yunfan wore a cold expression, and stared straight at Leng Shaoting, which was quite stressful. However, Leng Shaoting wasn't afraid to meet Tang Yunfan's eyes at all, and stayed calm, which surprised Tang Yunfan.

Although he was displeased that Gu Ning already had a boyfriend at such a young age, he thought that he didn't have the right to interfere in her personal life since he had been an absent father for so many years. In addition, he knew that Gu Ning was a mature girl, and her boyfriend must be an outstanding and reliable man too.

Even so, Tang Yunfan still needed to know more about Leng Shaoting.

"Where were you born?" Tang Yunfan asked with a serious face.

"The capital," Leng Shaoting sat straight and answered the question with a serious look.

"What's your job and title?" Tang Yunfan asked again.

"A soldier. Major general," Leng Shaoting said.

"What?" Hearing that, everyone was shocked again, including Tang Yunfan and Tang Yunhang who were always calm.

"Were you born into the Leng family in the capital?" Tang Yunfan asked, although he already had the answer. He had only heard of one major general in his early twenties, and that was the eldest grandson of the Leng family in the capital.

Although there were few people who were aware of it, everyone in the military had heard of Leng Shaoting's name given his legendary achievements.

Cao Ruihua held deep admiration for this young major general, and he had told his family a lot about him.

Qiao Ya was astonished too, but didn't show it on her face, because she knew that this man couldn't be simple.

Gu Man didn't know how important a major general was in the military, so she wasn't very surprised. And Cao Wenxin already knew, so she was able to stay calm.

"Yes," Leng Shaoting said.

Hearing that, they still felt that it was quite unbelievable. However, since they already knew Leng Shaoting's family background, they gradually approved of their relationship. In fact, the Tang family didn't care about the family background, but they knew that the Leng family was reliable. Moreover, they all had a good impression of soldiers.

"What happened?" Hearing the noise, Tang Haifeng walked out, and noticed Gu Ning at first glance. He beamed at once, then was surprised to see Leng Shaoting. He didn't remember that his granddaughter already had a boyfriend until Leng Shaoting appeared in his sight, and he had the same feeling as Tang Yunfan.

"Nice to see you, Master Tang." Leng Shaoting stood up at once, and greeted Tang Haifeng with respect. "Oh, nice to see you!" Tang Haifeng said.

"Nice to meet you, Master Tang." Qiao Ya stood up as well.

"Grandpa, she's my assistant, Qiao Ya," Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Tang Haifeng nodded as a response.
