Chapter 137
She certainly knew what the meal was like . It was a private meeting only between them .
…
That afternoon Gu Ning gathered her friends to have the lunch together . It was on An Yi .
An Yi and Hao Ran were friends already and got along very well with each other .
“An Yi, I heard your family’s company has been bought, but your father is still the chairman,” Hao Ran said with care .
“Yes, but my father didn’t tell me the details . Anyway, Shenghua survived and my father remained in his position . I don’t care if my father earns less money . I just want us to live a peaceful life,” An Yi said . He didn’t care who the owner of Shenghua was now . He felt satisfied with his life . Although he had no idea who the owner was, he was thankful to the person in his heart .
An Yi valued family above money, which impressed Gu Ning .
“Well, Gu Ning, can I join your group? I want to learn kung fu too . ” An Yi looked to Gu Ning . He was a little shy, but full of anticipation .
“No problem!” Gu Ning didn’t refuse, because she had the intention to let An Yi be the successor to An Guangyao’s job so it was necessary to train him earlier .
Of course, it all depended on An Yi himself . If he wasn’t willing to do so, Gu Ning wouldn’t force him .
For An Guangyao’s sake, Gu Ning said yes .
Since An Yi was now a part of them, he joined their WeChat group too .
Gu Ning didn’t attend the evening class, so their training time was set in the afternoon . After lunch, they went to the woods together .
On the way, they coincidentally met those boys who had beaten An Yi the other day . The minute they saw An Yi, Gu Ning and the others, they turned around, escaping away . Hao Ran and the others couldn’t help laughing out loud .
Those boys had learned their lesson .
“Oh, boss, my uncle’s sixtieth birthday is the day after tomorrow . My cousin Yifan invited you all to come have fun,” Qin Zixun said .
Yes, it was Qin Yifan who invited them . Qin Zixun wasn’t qualified enough to invite people to attend his uncle’s birthday .
Actually, Qin Yifan wanted to invite them himself to show his sincerity, but he was worried it would be too abrupt, so he let Qin Zixun do it .
He couldn’t only invite Gu Ning, which would be embarrassing . Thus he invited all of them .
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Gu Ning declined . She wasn’t close with Qin Yifan after all, but to be honest, Gu Ning really wanted to attend the birthday party .
The Qin Family was the second-tier super-rich family . There would be many celebrities and important businessmen at the birthday party . It was the best place to build her network . In addition, most of the guests went to the party for networking .
Although she was young, and probably no one would chat with her, her presence was meaningful .
“Don’t worry . Hao Ran and Tianping will go too . We’ve sent invitation letters to Mu Ke and An Yi’s family already . And now let me and my older brother invite you three girls to come . Just come and have fun with us,” Qin Zixun persuaded .
“Come on, boss . Come with us! Mixi and Peihan, you both must come too,” Hao Ran added .
“Ningning, I want to go to the party . Just come along with us!” Chu Peihan grasped Gu Ning’s arm .
Chu Peihan would never miss a party . As for Yu Mixi, if Gu Ning went to the party, she would go with her .
“Alright! Then let’s go together,” Gu Ning answered . Never the less, she couldn’t go with empty hands . What kind of gift should she send?
Chu Peihan pulled Gu Ning and Yu Mixi away using the excuse that they needed to go to the washroom .
“What kind of gift should we send?” Chu Peihan asked .
She completely had no idea about gifts . Most importantly, the host was an important figure so the gift had to be special, but they were merely students . They couldn’t afford expensive gifts .
Gu Ning knew that Master Qin liked jade . Ordinary jade wasn’t suitable to be used as a gift, but she wasn’t willing to send him a high-level one . And it wasn’t appropriate for her to be so high-profile . She was a student after all .
It was very tricky .
After a while, Gu Ning thought of those antiques that she had bought in City G .
Since she couldn’t send expensive gifts, Shen Wansan’s teapot and Wu Guanzhong’s painting weren’t the options . She then only had the glass with deer heads from the Qianlong period .
Thus Gu Ning decided to send Master Qin the glass .
It was worth around two million yuan, which was a lot for her as a student .
“Oh, I have a suitable gift . We can send it under all our names,” Gu Ning said . She didn’t mind sharing the gift with her friends at all .
“Please don’t do that,” Yu Mixi said .
“Why not? We’re students . It won’t be appropriate if we send a gift that is too expensive . Mine is the best choice . It’s not very expensive, but rare,” Gu Ning explained .
“Tell us . What is it?” Knowing that, Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi were curious .
“It’s a secret for now,” Gu Ning said .
“Please, just tell us!” Chu Peihan was impatient with curiosity .
Gu Ning wouldn’t tell them no matter how much they asked . Chu Peihan had to give up in the end .
The news that Gu Xiaoxiao had been expelled went abroad in the afternoon, but no one felt sorry for her .
Even Chen Ziyao who was Gu Xiaoxiao’s best friend denied her close connection with Gu Xiaoxiao . When others came to her and asked her whether she had been aware of Gu Xiaoxiao’s scheme, she denied it .
She said that she and Gu Xiaoxiao only seemed close, but they didn’t get along well . Gu Xiaoxiao never told her anything private . Chen Ziyao also claimed that she was disappointed at Gu Xiaoxiao’s behavior .
Actually, Chen Ziyao was only disappointed that Gu Xiaoxiao had failed .
Many students knew that Chen Ziyao hated Gu Ning, so they barely believed her words .
Besides, most of the students secretly kept a distance away from Chen Ziyao . They were worried that she would do the same thing as Gu Xiaoxiao .
Chen Ziyao knew the reason why she was alienated . She was mad, but she blamed Gu Xiaoxiao for it .
