The two groups of men shared the compensation fifty-fifty. They weren’t poor, so it wasn’t a lot of money in their eyes. Besides, they were scared of Gu Ning, and didn’t dare escape, so they paid the money and left for the hospital.
…
When it was 10 pm, Jiang Ruiqin came.
Jiang Ruiqin was just walking by, so he decided to go inside to have a look. He didn’t tell Song Nan that he was coming, so he had no idea that Gu Ning was in the bar.
He saw that the door was closed but the lights were on in the bar, and got confused before pushing the door open and walking inside. There was music playing in the bar, but he didn’t hear many people talking.
He was a frequent visitor here, so the bartender recognized him and didn’t stop him.
“What happened?” Jiang Ruiqin asked the bartender.
“Some people had a fight here today, so our boss closed down for the night, now he’s drinking with his friends over there,” the bartender said and pointed to one side.
Some people had a fight here today?
Jiang Ruiqin frowned, and looked in the direction the bartender pointed.
At this moment, Gu Ning noticed him, and said to the others, “Ruiqin is here.”
Hearing that, they all turned to look at Jiang Ruiqin.
Song Nan stood up at once. “Hi, why didn’t you tell me you’re coming?”
“I was just walking by,” Jiang Ruiqin said.
“Come on and have a seat,” Song Nan said.
Jiang Ruiqin walked over with a smile. When his sight fell on Gu Ning, he was surprised.
“Oh, hi, when did you come to the capital? Why didn’t you call me to have a drink together?” Jiang Ruiqin pretended to be sad. In fact, he did actually feel a little sad because he still liked Gu Ning. At the same time, he also felt happy to see her again.
“I just came yesterday, and have been busy till this afternoon.” Gu Ning explained.
Jiang Ruiqin sat down, and Song Nan poured a glass of drink for him.
Actually, Jiang Ruiqin had no plan to drink tonight, because he was going to drive, but he forgot about it when he saw that Gu Ning was here.
Because of the wound on his head, Song Nan didn’t drink, but just chatted with them.
They didn’t stay in the bar for too long, and separated at 11 pm. They all drank a little, so Xu Qinyin called a designated driver.
Although Song Nan didn’t drink and was willing to drive them home, Gu Ning thought that it would be inconvenient for him to do so. They had already hired a designated driver after all.
Jiang Ruiqin couldn’t drive either because he drank too, so he left his car at Song Nan’s bar, then got in Gu Ning’s car. They lived in the same living area.
Even though Jiang Ruiqin knew that it was impossible for him to be with Gu Ning, he couldn’t help but want to get close to her. Therefore, he didn’t take a taxi home, but shared the car with Gu Ning.
They went to Gu Anna’s home first, then Xu Qinyin’s home before they finally went back to the living area where Gu Ning and Jiang Ruiqin lived.
When they were outside of the living area, Gu Ning told the designated driver to leave, and she drove inside herself. She drank a lot, but was fine because of her magical power.
Gu Ning didn’t go back to Leng Shaoting’s house until she drove Jiang Ruiqin back to his own house.
It was already 12:30 am when she got home, and she sent a message to Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna to tell them that she was safe.
They had told Gu Ning to send them a message once she was home before they separated.
Although Gu Ning wasn’t a weak girl, they were still worried about her safety because they were her friends.
Gu Anna and Xu Qinyin were relieved when they received Gu Ning’s message.
…
Gu Ning took a shower before she went to sleep.
The next day, Gu Ning got up early to run in the morning.
After running for half an hour, she saw an old man suddenly fall on the ground not far ahead of her. Two old men by his side stopped at once, and went to check his condition.
Seeing that, Gu Ning ran to them without delay.
The old man who fainted was around 60 years old, and Gu Ning felt that he was still breathing, but his breath was very weak. It was possible that he could die if he didn’t receive immediate treatment.
Gu Ning took out a power crystal and squatted to feed it to the old man. However, the other two old men stopped her once she reached out her hand.
“What are you doing?” An old man questioned her in an unkind tone.
“I’m rescuing him. Move, or he’ll stop breathing!” Gu Ning said with a serious face.
The old man was struck dumb for a second, but was convinced by Gu Ning’s attitude.
The other old man, however, still criticized Gu Ning. “How dare you curse the elderly? Qiao is well!”
Gu Ning sneered, “Seriously? He just fainted all of a sudden?”
