Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, the private room Leng Shaoxi and she were going to was right next to the one Yuan Wenrui and others stayed in. Although it was large and had good insulation, Gu Ning had unusually good hearing.
There were 4 people in the private room Leng Shaoxi’s friend booked. They were 2 women and 2 men.
The girls were at the same age as Leng Shaoxi. They were very pretty in their early twenties. And the two men were slightly over 20 years old. They looked quite handsome in casual suits.
With a glance, Gu Ning easily figured out which l of the 2 men was the person Leng Shaoxi liked, because the man stood up with excitement once he saw Leng Shaoxi. “Hi, Shaoxi!” He greeted her.
Leng Shaoxi felt a little embarrassed, but soon went back to normal and calmly said, “Hi.”
“Hi, Shaoxi!” A girl stood up to welcome them afterwards. After a glance at Gu Ning by Leng Shaoxi’s side, she looked amazed. “Shaoxi, why don’t you introduce your friend to us?”
Gu Ning was l pretty and elegant. No wonder Leng Shaoting liked her.
“This is my Cousin Shaoting’s girlfriend, or fiancée to be specific. She’s Gu Ning.” Leng Shaoxi introduced Gu Ning to her friends. She thought it wasn’t enough to show Gu Ning’s importance by introducing her as Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend, so she said blankly that Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s fiancée.
Hearing that, the girl was shocked. In fact, it was already very shocking when she learned that Leng Shaoting had a girlfriend. To her surprise, it was his fiancée. After all, a fiancée was totally different from a girlfriend.
It was not only Zuo Wenjun; another woman and man who knew Leng Shaoting were also astonished.
“Hi, Miss Gu, I’m Shaoxi’s friend. My name is Zuo Wenjun.” Before Leng Shaoxi introduced her, Zuo Wenjun introduced herself to Gu Ning. She even reached out her hand to shake hands with Gu Ning.
“Hi, Miss Zuo.” Gu Ning also reached out her hand to gently hold Zuo Wenjun’s hand.
“Come, let me introduce the others to you,” said Zuo Wenjun, then she brought Gu Ning to the front of the other people. She introduced them from left to right to Gu Ning. “This is my older brother’s friend, Chen Junnan. This is my older brother, Zuo Zhaochen, and this is his girlfriend, Lin Beishan.”
“Nice to meet you all.” Gu Ning greeted them. She guessed correctly. The man was precisely the one who liked Leng Shaoxi.
“Nice to see you too, Miss Gu.” They kindly greeted Gu Ning as well.
“Come here, have a seat!” Zuo Wenjun said. She told Gu Ning and Leng Shaoxi to sit by her sides, then poured a glass of wine for both of them.
“Miss Gu, you look very young. You must be a student, right?” asked Zuo Zhaochen.
“Yeah, I’m a freshman this year,” said Gu Ning.
“Which university are you studying in?” Zuo Zhaochen continued.
Hearing Zuo Zhaochen ask Gu Ning two questions in a row, Lin Beishan frowned, especially when she saw the excitement in his eyes. Lin Beishan was quite displeased, but didn’t show it on her face.
She knew Zuo Zhaochen wasn’t a playboy, but Gu Ning was too attractive to resist. Therefore, Lin Beishan was worried that Zuo Zhaochen might be attracted to Gu Ning.
However, Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s fiancée. If he dared to steal Gu Ning from Leng Shaoting, he would be too stupid.
“The Capital University,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Zuo Zhaochen got more excited. “Are you the owner of Xiangyun Antique-store?”
Hearing that, Lin Beishan realized the reason why Zuo Zhaochen was so excited.
In an instant, Lin Beishan felt ashamed for her suspicion just now. At the same time, she was also amazed by Gu Ning’s business.
She had heard of Xiangyun Antique-store. At the auction a few days ago, Xiangyun Antique-store sold a whole set of bronze chimes for over 8 billion yuan.
Nevertheless, she didn’t notice who the owner of Xiangyun Antique-store was, so she failed to recognize Gu Ning just now.
Hearing Zuo Zhaochen’s words, Chen Junnan was shocked too, because he was aware of that as well.
Although 8 billion yuan was nothing for the Chen family, it was a lot of money for him. From the time he started up a business till now, he only had over a billion yuan in assets, which was quite outstanding among his peers.
He admired Gu Ning, and wasn’t jealous of her at all, because it wasn’t necessary at all.
“Yeah, it’s me.” Gu Ning admitted it.
“Wow, I can’t believe you’re so successful! You made a lot of money within such a short time. I also heard you picked up the bronze chimes by chance, right?” said Zuo Wenjun in great surprise.
“Yeah, I picked them up in a cave. They must have been dug out by gravediggers, then were hidden in the cave. I found them by accident,” said Gu Ning.
“You were so lucky!” said Zuo Wenjun. She didn’t doubt Gu Ning’s words at all.
Since Gu Ning said that, the others chose to believe her.
When they were talking, Chen Junnan glanced at Leng Shaoxi once in a while. Leng Shaoxi, on the contrary, deliberately avoided his glances. As a result, she looked at either Gu Ning or Zuo Wenjun. However, she actually wasn’t as calm as she seemed to be on the surface.
Chen Junnan wasn’t dumb, so he could see that Leng Shaoxi was avoiding him on purpose. Besides, given the way she talked with him these days, he knew she was losing interest in him. However, he didn’t understand why Leng Shaoxi suddenly changed her attitude. After all, there was chemistry between them a few days ago.
Although Leng Shaoxi didn’t show much interest, they at least got along well with each other and he could see that she had a good impression of him.
He understood it took time and patience to chase a girl, but he couldn’t insist if the girl disliked him.
While Gu Ning talked with them, she didn’t stop paying attention to the situation in the next private room.
Before she heard any important information, she saw a bug under the desk. Obviously, they were targeted.
Since they were targeted, there should be more than just a bug! However, because of other people in the room, Gu Ning couldn’t pay too much attention to the next room in case they noticed her abnormal behavior.
Therefore, Gu Ning made up an excuse that she needed to use the ladies’ room. She decided to observe them in the washroom, because there was only a wall between the washroom and the next private room, which was very convenient for her observation. Moreover, she would talk about it with Leng Shaoting as well.
Once Gu Ning was gone, Leng Shaoxi got nervous, but couldn’t stop her from going to the washroom.
Anyway, in order to not meet Chen Junnan’s eyes, Leng Shaoxi kept on talking with Zuo Wenjun about Gu Ning once Gu Ning was gone.
