“Who else could she be?” the man said.
All of a sudden, a woman who was sitting at the next table stood up at once and walked to them questioning in an unkind voice, “How do you know that?”
Seeing that, Gu Ning realized that the two men did it on purpose so that the woman could hear the news. However, who was this woman? Why did she seem to overreact when she heard the news about Tang Yunfan? Why did the two men leak the news to her?
“My friend works for the Tang family and he told me,” the man said.
Gu Ning sensed that it must be Tang Deming’s scheme.
Hearing that, the woman seemed more upset, but she didn’t ask further before she walked back to her seat.
“Xueqin, could it be fake news? If the girl is really Tang Yunfan’s daughter, why has nobody heard of her during so many years? Why did she suddenly appear?” another woman said and remained doubtful.
“If not, how come the news went abroad!” It was obvious that the woman who was called Xueqin believed it.
She was Feng Xueqin, who was born in another super-rich family in City B. When Master Tang’s wife was still alive, she was a good friend with Feng Xueqin’s mother. In her early years, she often joked about setting Feng Xueqin and Tang Yunfan up, so Feng Xueqin bore it in mind. When Feng Xueqin was young, she always claimed that she was Tang Yunfan’s fiancée. However, Tang Yunfan kept a distance away from her, and never mentioned marrying her. After a long time, she still couldn’t marry into the Tang family, so she stopped claiming that she was Tang Yunfan’s fiancée.
Nevertheless, Feng Xueqin was reluctant to give up. Even though she couldn’t win Tang Yunfan’s heart, she wouldn’t leave him alone, and remained single till now when she was 36 years old.
During the past years, if any woman dared approach Tang Yunfan, she would interfere in his personal affairs. If the woman didn’t aim to sleep with Tang Yunfan, she wouldn’t punish the woman severely, but if the woman aimed to sleep with Tang Yunfan or even to be his girlfriend, she would do everything to ruin the woman.
Feng Xueqin’s love for Tang Yunfan was very twisted, so she was furious and almost lost control of herself when she heard that Tang Yunfan had a woman and a daughter in secret.
“If I can’t get him, nobody can. Even if the mother and daughter are truly Tang Yunfan’s woman and daughter, they won’t be soon,” Feng Xueqin said with an evil expression.
Hearing that, Gu Ning squinted at her. Very well, let’s see! Feng Xueqin, if you dare hurt Gu Man, I promise that you’ll regret.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” Seeing Gu Ning being so angry Yu Zi was scared.
“Oh, nothing,” Gu Ning said and gave her a smile.
Since Gu Ning said nothing, Yu Zi stopped asking further.
The dishes were soon placed on the table, and they started to enjoy their lunch.
Feng Xueqin, however, lost her appetite after hearing the news about Gu Man and Gu Ning.
When she stood up, walking away, her friend’s sight fell on Gu Ning and thought that Gu Ning looked very familiar. Her friend couldn’t help but give Gu Ning a few more glances, and Gu Ning didn’t avoid her look at all, because that was exactly what Gu Ning wanted.
“Xueqin, look at that girl!” Feng Xueqin’s friend pulled her back and pointed at Gu Ning.
Feng Xueqin turned to look at Gu Ning and was stunned at once. Feng Xueqin was more familiar with Tang Yunfan than her friend, so she recognized Gu Ning’s face when Gu Ning appeared in her sight. Although Tang Yunfan wasn’t young anymore, it was still easy to notice that Gu Ning closely resembled him.
Is she the girl that the two men just discussed? Feng Xueqin thought to herself.
No matter what, Feng Xueqin wouldn’t let Gu Ning go, so she strode to the table where Gu Ning sat and asked Gu Ning very impolitely, “What’s your relationship with Tang Yunfan?”
Although she already had the answer, she still wanted to hear it from Gu Ning’s mouth.
At the same time, the two men were also surprised when Feng Xueqin asked Gu Ning that question. They hadn’t noticed Gu Ning until now. Although they hadn’t met Tang Yunfan in person and they only saw his picture, they had to admit that this young girl in front of them did greatly resemble Tang Yunfan. Jesus! Is she the girl? Did she hear everything?
The two men escaped without delay, in case they would expose themselves.
Gu Ning saw them leaving, but didn’t stop them, because she was very eager to teach Feng Xueqin a lesson now.
Yu Zi was frightened by Feng Xueqin’s aggressive attitude, but she didn’t know Tang Yunfan, so she had no idea what was going on.
Gu Ning, on the other hand, calmly enjoyed her meal and ignored Feng Xueqin.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Feng Xueqin was in a rage. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear my question?”
Gu Ning still didn’t give her a glance but coldly asked, “Who are you? Why should I answer your question?”
“You…” Feng Xueqin was irritated by Gu Ning’s arrogant attitude, especially when Gu Ning said that with a face which strongly resembled Tang Yunfan.
At short notice, Feng Xueqin turned the plates on the table upside down in anger.
Yu Zi moved backwards in fear and avoided the disaster.
Gu Ning, however, didn’t move at all, and the food stained her clothes everywhere.
Gu Ning did that for the purpose of using that as a reasonable excuse to teach Feng Xueqin a lesson.
“Boss, are you alright?” Yu Zi wanted to wipe the stains off for Gu Ning, but Gu Ning raised her hand to stop her.
The big noise attracted attention from other customers in the restaurant, and the manager came to them at once. “What happened?”
