941 Leave the Restaurant Now
“OK, let’s see,” Gu Ning sneered.
“You’ll soon be chased from this restaurant,” Zhang Tenghao snorted with disdain.
Guan Bin was also in the restaurant, so he showed up within a minute. When he saw Gu Ning, he was surprised and excited. “Hi, Miss Gu, it’s so nice to see you! Why didn’t you tell me that you’re going to dine here? This meal is on me!”
Seeing Guan Bin being so enthusiastic towards Gu Ning, Zhang Tenghao was struck dumb.
“I knew that you won’t let me pay the bill, so I didn’t tell you.” Gu Ning smiled, and she was very kind to Guan Bin.
“It’s not a big deal. It’s my honor to buy you a meal!” Guan Bin said with sincerity.
“Since I already know that you’re here, it’s my treat this time,” Guan Bin added.
“Thanks!” Gu Ning agreed.
“Lord Guan, what’s….” Zhang Tenghao was still in shock. Although he was arrogant, he wasn’t dumb, and he realized that this girl and Guan Bin weren’t common friends. In that case, it was highly possible that this girl was someone he couldn’t mess with.
In addition, Guan Bin was very respectful towards the girl. Therefore, this girl could be more powerful or influential than Guan Bin.
On the other hand, his family wasn’t richer than the Guan family. Zhang Tenghao realized that he had made a mistake.
Hearing Zhang Tenghao’s voice, Guan Bin turned to look at him. Without asking, Guan Bin knew that the stupid girl that Zhang Tenghao spoke about must be Gu Ning.
He didn’t believe that Gu Ning would annoy him for no reason, because he knew Zhang Tenghao very well.
It couldn’t be more obvious that Zhang Tenghao had failed to flirt with Gu Ning and felt embarrassed, so he turned to Guan Bin for help.
In an instant, Guan Bin wore a cold expression. He and Zhang Tenghao were just fair-weather friends. Gu Ning, on the other hand, was his idol.
She was Pan Zirui’s boss, and he was Pan Zirui’s close brother, so he should obviously defend Gu Ning.
“Miss Gu, may I know what has happened?” Guan Bin asked Gu Ning and ignored Zhang Tenghao.
“He failed to pick me up, so he threatened me and told me that this restaurant is owned by his friend, and that he could easily chase me away with a simple sentence,” Gu Ning said.
She was telling Guan Bin to chase him away instead.
“Well, um, it’s a misunderstanding. I…” Zhang Tenghao changed his attitude at once.
Before he could finish his sentences, Guan Bin interrupted him and said, “Zhang Tenghao, you can leave on your own if you don’t want to be embarrassed again.”
“You…”
Even though Zhang Tenghao figured out that Guan Bin sided with Gu Ning, he was still mad when Guan Bin was so straightforward. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to annoy Guan Bin.
He had to leave now, and even forgot to pay the bill of the table where he dined with Zhao Xiaoxuan.
Zhao Xiaoxuan didn’t mind at all, because she enjoyed the drama.
“Miss Gu, I’m so sorry.” Guan Bin apologized to Gu Ning.
“It’s fine.” Gu Ning didn’t blame him for it.
The drama didn’t attract much attention, so they were able to dine as usual.
“Have you eaten? Why don’t we dine together?” Gu Ning said.
“Thanks!” Guan Bin was excited to dine with Gu Ning.
Afterwards, they enjoyed the meal together.
…
Zhao Xiaoxuan went back home later, and told her parents what had happened in the restaurant.
After hearing that, Zhao Xiaoxuan’s parents were both annoyed. They did hope that Zhao Xiaoxuan could marry into a rich family, but they had no intention to let another person manage their family business. They weren’t idiots after all.
Given the bad example of Lin Tianyou, Zhao Xiaoxuan’s parents were determined to not let her future husband be involved in their family business.
Zhao Xiaoxuan was clear-headed now, so she also knew that she should protect herself. She had already lost confidence in love, and just wanted to find a suitable man to get married and raise a family.
…
Gu Ning and Yu Zi left after the meal. Gu Ning proposed to drive Yu Zi home, but Yu Zi declined. Her friend would pick her up later.
Seeing Yu Zi’s happy face, Gu Ning understood that her friend must be her boyfriend.
Accordingly, Gu Ning left alone.
Once Gu Ning was gone, Guan Bin called Pan Zirui and told him about what had happened today. Pan Zirui complained that he hadn’t called him earlier so that they could have dined together with Gu Ning.
