Chapter 183 Why Should I Be Mad at You?

As long as Chen Ziyao apologized, the problem could be easily solved, but if she still refused to do so, she would be expelled like Gu Xiaoxiao. If the student was willing to make up for what she did, the school wouldn’t expel her, because it wouldn’t do its reputation any good.

Under pressure from Jiang Yuan and Zhu Jian, Chen Ziyao had to apologize, but in her heart, she hated Gu Ning to death. She swore that she would pay Gu Ning back.

When the afternoon cla.s.ses were about to begin, the post was deleted, and was replaced by an apology statement. Then Chen Ziyao’s voice sounded from the radio. “The student from the fourth cla.s.sroom in 12th grade, Gu Ning, I am Chen Ziyao from the second cla.s.sroom in the 12th grade. It was me who has spread the fake news claiming that you have a sugar daddy. I’m sincerely sorry for what I’ve done to you. Please accept my apologies.”

The school burst into discussion. Chen Ziyao was famous, no, notorious now.

This mess was finally settled.

After the apology, Chen Ziyao felt too ashamed to attend the following cla.s.ses in her school, so she asked for a leave and went home.

Leng Shaoting kept focusing on the forum, and he noticed that as well.

When the cla.s.ses were over, Gu Ning went back to Fenghua Luxury Mansion. She saw Leng Shaoting standing outside of zone C from afar.

Because of what had happened today, Leng Shaoting didn’t dare to pick Gu Ning up in case she would get into even more trouble. He even hesitated to walk to her when she appeared in his sight.

Gu Ning understood why Leng Shaoting felt terrible, but it wasn’t his fault anyway. She was also willing to let him drive her to school.

Gu Ning walked over asking him, “Do you want to dine together?”

“Sure!” Leng Shaoting’s eyes immediately lit up.

Then the two stepped outside. Gu Ning called Gu Man and told her that she wouldn’t be eating at home.

Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning after she hung up. “Aren’t you mad at me?”

“Why should I be mad at you?” Gu Ning asked. She understood what Leng Shaoting was talking about, and she wasn’t mad at him at all.

“If I hadn’t driven you to school this morning, it wouldn’t have happened,” Leng Shaoting said.

“I was willing to get in your car! If I blamed you for your kindness, no one would treat me kindly in the future,” Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was relieved. “What do you want to have?” Gu Ning asked. “Anything you want,” Leng Shaoting answered.

“Well then, let’s see what choices we have on the road!” Gu Ning had no idea what to eat either, so she decided to take a walk along the road.

They walked on the Youyi Road. There was a restaurant not far away from Fenghua Luxury Mansion. It seemed quiet with a good environment, thus Gu Ning wanted to give it a try. They chose a table beside the window. After they had ordered the food, Gu Ning asked, “Why do you stay here all day recently? Don’t you need to work?”

“I’m free when I don’t have tasks to fulfill,” Leng Shaoting replied. In the past, he would never have said that. Even if there weren’t any tasks, he would find something to do. He wouldn’t let himself be free. However, ever since he had fallen in love with Gu Ning, he always wanted to stay by her side when he wasn’t occupied.

Although they only met once or twice a day and didn’t spend a lot of time together, he felt satisfied to be able to see her every day. Well, he of course didn’t think that it was enough, but it was so much better than missing her and being lonely.

Leng Shaoting could also deal with his duties through the Internet. He didn’t need to show up in person for every situation.

At that time, Gu Ning’s phone rang. It was from Zhou Zhenghong. Gu Ning didn’t mind Leng Shaoting hearing the conversation so she answered it directly, “Hi, Uncle Zhou.”

“Boss, is it convenient for you now? I have something important to tell you,” Zhou Zhenghong asked in excitement.

With his acute hearing, Leng Shaoting could obviously hear Zhou Zhenghong’s voice. He also recognized that Zhou Zhenghong was the man who had been with Gu Ning in City G last time.

“Sure!” Gu Ning said.

“We cut out a top-level jade the size of a grownup’s foot. It has two colors which are red and green. The type is called Double Happiness!” Zhou Zhenghong was thrilled.

“Double Happiness?” Gu Ning was surprised too. Double Happiness was ranked slightly lower thanFulushou, but was more precious than the violet jade.

Gu Ning knew that the raw materials she had picked up were all valuable, but she was happy to hear the good news from Zhou Zhenghong.

“Yes! Boss, you’re amazing!” Zhou Zhenghong complimented. He now believed that Gu Ning was more powerful than G.o.d, and he couldn’t help thinking that Gu Ning probably really had Jade Eyes and could see the jade inside the raw materials. Of course, he didn’t say it aloud, nor believe it. He thought that it was impossible. However, what they couldn’t believe was exactly the truth.

Leng Shaoting was amazed that Gu Ning was involved in stone gambling. He knew very little about jade, and had no idea what the Double Happiness was like, but since Zhou Zhenghong said that it was a top-level jade, then it must be priceless.

Facing Zhou Zhenghong’s endless compliments, Gu Ning smiled but didn’t say anything. She knew that she couldn’t do it without her Jade Eyes.

“Oh, please use the Double Happiness to make a pair of pendants. It must actually be two parts of a whole pendant. There should be a dragon and a phoenix on each, which means eternal love. As for the size, medium is fine.”

Double Happiness was the perfect jade to use to make a pair of pendants which stood for love.

Hearing the meaning of the pendants, Leng Shaoting had an idea in mind, but he wouldn’t tell Gu Ning right now.

“Sure, do you want to keep it yourself, or show it at the opening ceremony?” Zhou Zhenghong asked.

“Show it at the opening ceremony,” Gu Ning said. “No problem,” Zhou Zhenghong answered.

When they were about to hang up, Gu Ning suddenly added, “Oh, I’ll be coming in the morning the day after tomorrow.”

Gu Ning had thought that she better arrive earlier. Although Zhou Zhenghong was completely in charge of the company, she should also give some advice if needed.

Jiang Xu’s construction material store would open tomorrow, and she had to be there, otherwise she would be flying to City G tomorrow evening.

Hearing that Gu Ning was going to City G the day after tomorrow, an idea dawned on Leng Shaoting.

“Great! However, the day after tomorrow is a Friday, don’t you need to attend your cla.s.ses?” Zhou Zhenghong was happy to fetch Gu Ning, but was afraid of affecting her studying.
