“I beat all of them,” said Gu Ning. Although she didn’t allow Gu Qingyun to watch it at the scene, it didn’t mean that she would refuse to tell him what exactly had happened. Moreover, even if she didn’t tell Gu Qingyun, Gu Qingyun would find it out sooner or later.
“A-All of them?” asked Gu Qingyun. He asked that question mainly because he wanted to know whether Xia Linyin was included.
“Right,” said Gu Ning.
Although Gu Qingyun already had the answer and he wasn’t surprised when he heard that from Gu Ning’s mouth, he still had mixed emotions right now, because Xia Linyin was a girl after all.
“What? Does your heart still ache for that girl?” Gu Ning was displeased. She understood that Gu Qingyun had loved Xia Linyin, but she didn’t think the girl deserved his love.
“No, of course not.” Gu Qingyun denied it at once when he heard dissatisfaction in Gu Ning’s voice.
Even though he had a little sympathy for Xia Linyin because she was a girl, he wasn’t self-righteous. Since Xia Linyin had betrayed him, there was no need for him to show any mercy towards her. Therefore, he wouldn’t be annoyed at Gu Ning for that, because Gu Ning did it for him.
If Gu Ning hadn’t helped him today, he honestly didn’t know what would happen to him, because he didn’t know that Xia Linyin had already betrayed him. He might really drink against Jiang Yuan for her.
Without Gu Ning’s help, he would be alone. He had friends in their university, but none of them dared to stand out for him against Jiang Yuan. They weren’t local citizens, and they were afraid to mess with the local citizens in the capital.
Although Gu Qingyun felt disappointed when they refused to help him, he didn’t blame them, because he understood they didn’t want to be involved in trouble.
He alone definitely couldn’t defeat Jiang Yuan, so he would have “lost” Xia Linyin to Jiang Yuan then blamed himself for it during the rest of his life.
He turned to Gu Ning for help because he was left no choice at that time. Luckily, Gu Ning gave him a helping hand.
Actually, Gu Qingyun felt it was ridiculously funny that he even had the idea to blame himself for a girl who had already betrayed him behind his back.
“Great, she doesn’t deserve you,” said Gu Ning. She had no intention to force Gu Qingyun to forget Xia Linyin right now, because she knew it took time. Gu Ning only hoped that Gu Qingyun could completely give her up, and cut off his relations.h.i.+p with her even if Xia Linyin turned back to him in the future.
If Gu Qingyun still accepted Xia Linyin after what she had done to him, he would be too contemptible. Contemptible people didn’t deserve respect or sympathy.
“I know,” said Gu Qingyun. It was hard for him to give up Xia Linyin right away, but he had no antic.i.p.ation for her now. Even though he was sad, he would never accept her again. He would never lose his dignity.
“If they dare to cause you trouble again or if they want to find me through you, just call me,” said Gu Ning.
Although Gu Qingyun won this time, he was pushed into a more dangerous situation. It wasn’t what they wanted, but Gu Ning didn’t regret it.
“Sure,” said Gu Qingyun. Only Gu Ning could help him in the capital.
Gu Qingyun didn’t complain about it at all although he would be in a more dangerous situation, because he was unwilling to submit to humiliation; he was actually quite grateful to Gu Ning.
“Ningning, thank you so much for what you’ve done tonight. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have found out the truth. Let me buy you some night snacks,” said Gu Qingyun. He wasn’t in a good mood now, but he still wanted to thank Gu Ning and her friends.
“No need. We’re not hungry right now, but we can dine together next time,” said Gu Ning. She understood that Gu Qingyun didn’t have an appet.i.te now, so she wouldn’t force him to eat.
“Fine!” Gu Qingyun didn’t insist. He knew that Gu Ning understood his feelings.
After that, Gu Ning drove Gu Qingyun back to their university, then sent Hao Ran and other boys back to the hotel.
On their way, Hao Ran even complained that he hadn’t enjoyed himself tonight in the fight. He was telling the truth, because Jiang Yuan was no match for him at all.
When Hao Ran and the boys arrived at the hotel, it was nearly 11 pm, so Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning, but Gu Ning was still driving. She briefly told Leng Shaoting that she went to deal with something else tonight and was still on the road now.
Leng Shaoting reminded her to be careful, then told her to call him back when she was home.
Even though Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao already accepted each other, they just met and Leng Shaoting wasn’t talkative, so it was a little embarra.s.sing when they stayed alone with one another. Therefore, they went to their own rooms once they were home.
Gu Ning drove back to Century City afterwards, and it was almost 12 am, so she didn’t chat with Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi tonight. They took a shower and went to bed. They still needed to get up early the next morning after all.
After that, Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting and they talked with each other for about 20 minutes on the phone.
Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao would go back to the Leng family’s house tomorrow.
After having the call with Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning hesitated to take the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern out, because she was afraid that something strange might happen and would affect what she planned to do tomorrow.
As a result, Gu Ning decided not to take it out for the time being. She would go to visit Shangguan Yang tomorrow and take it out then.
With Shangguan Yang’s help, she would be safe even if anything strange happened.
