It was true that people gathered together for benefits. However, it wasn’t the absolute truth. Peng Zijie was a snob, so he believed that everyone was snobbish.
Gu Ning wasn’t sure that all the people in her circle would give her a helping hand when she was in trouble, but she believed that Tanghuang and Shengshi would certainly help her.
One was her family’s business, while the other was her future husband’s business. Both of them loved her the most in this world, so they definitely wouldn’t hesitate to help her.
Peng Zijie didn’t know that, so he took Gu Ning lightly.
“Your words make sense, but I still can’t accept it,” said Gu Ning.
Peng Zijie lost patience and directly threatened Gu Ning. “Gu Ning, don’t test my patience. The Yuan family in the capital is my relative, and it’s very easy for them to shut you out of this city.”
Hearing Peng Zijie’s threat, Gu Ning wasn’t mad at all, but Jing Yunyao was displeased. She said nothing and coldly stared at Peng Zijie, which slightly scared him.
“The Yuan family? Are you sure it will support a distant relative like you?” asked Gu Ning with mockery in her voice.
“You…” Peng Zijie was surprised, then got furious. “How dare you do research on me?”
“Haven’t you done the same thing?” asked Gu Ning.
Peng Zijie was struck dumb for a second, and didn’t know what to say now. Actually, he only read some news about Gu Ning on the Internet. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with that, but he was annoyed when Gu Ning did the same thing to him.
“Vice President Peng, I think we can call it the end of our meeting,” said Gu Ning.
“What if I insist on acquiring Kouzi?” said Peng Zijie.
“Are you sure? If you insist on doing that, I’m afraid I’ll use a special way to protect my company from being ruined. You should know that I’m a kung fu lover, and I won’t hesitate to solve a tricky problem with violence when I lose temper,” said Gu Ning.
At the same time, she cracked her knuckles and seemed to be ready to beat someone.
Peng Zijie knew that Gu Ning wasn’t a weak girl at all, so he was reluctant to have a fight against her.
“It’s illegal if you dare to beat me,” said Peng Zijie in anxiety and anger.
“Isn’t it illegal if you insist on acquiring my company with force?” asked Gu Ning with a serious expression. “Don’t think that you’re superior to me, because you’re simply an idiot in my eyes.”
Peng Zijie was stunned. Although he was willing to do anything for his own interests, he was afraid of death. He was no match for Gu Ning after all.
“If you dare to damage Kouzi, you’ll pay for it, and I won’t say that twice.” Gu Ning warned him before she left with Jing Yunyao.
Jing Yunyao also gave Peng Zijie a glare before they walked out.
Peng Zijie was angry, but couldn’t stop them.
Right when Gu Ning walked to the yard, she ran into a familiar face, Peng Yunlong.
Peng Yunlong was in a military uniform today, and Luo Zhanhua was by his side.
“Hi, General Peng, Secretary Luo, nice to see you again!” Gu Ning greeted them with a smile.
“Oh, hi, nice to see you, Ningning. What a coincidence!” Peng Yunlong beamed when he saw Gu Ning. “Are you free now? Why don’t we have a fighting competition for fun?”
Even though he knew that Gu Ning would win, he thought it was challenging and enjoyed it. However, before Gu Ning could give him an answer, he saw Jing Yunyao.
“Y-Yunyao?” Peng Yunlong rounded his eyes in shock.
Hearing that, Gu Ning was surprised. She didn’t expect that Peng Yunlong knew Jing Yunyao too.
The next second, she realized that Peng Yunlong was Leng Yunhan’s old friend, so he must have seen Jing Yunyao before.
Jing Yunyao was also astonished, but she felt that Peng Yunlong looked familiar.
Luo Zhanhua didn’t know Jing Yunyao, so he had no reaction, but he knew that it wasn’t simple after noticing Peng Yunlong’s shocked expression.
Peng Yunlong was disappointed when he saw that Jing Yunyao looked at him as if he was a stranger.
Yunyao had passed away for years, and Jing Yunyao looked much younger than Yunyao, so maybe she wasn’t Yunyao.
Peng Yunlong apologized right away. “Sorry, miss, I mistook you for another person.”
“No, you didn’t. She is Yunyao, but she lost her memories, and can’t remember people that she used to know,” said Gu Ning.
“W-What?” Peng Yunlong was shocked again. “Is she really Yunyao?”
“Yes, she’s Yunyao, Leng Yuanhan’s wife, Leng Shaoting’s mother,” said Gu Ning with affirmation.
Knowing that, Luo Zhanhua was greatly surprised. To his astonishment, Leng Shaoting’s mother was still alive.
Although he hadn’t seen Leng Yuanhan and Yunyao before, he had heard that they had lost their lives in an accident.
