Because Gu Ning’s story wasn’t a secret anymore, Yu Yin felt like she could share it with Jing Yunyao, so she said, “Gu Ning’s surname was given by her mother. Because her father lost his memories years ago after being trapped and injured, her mother rescued her father and they fell in love afterwards. Gu Ning’s father had an accident later and got his memories back, but he forgot about Gu Ning’s mother. Gu Ning’s mother thought that her father was already dead, so she raised Gu Ning alone. Gu Ning met members of the Tang family early in this year, after which they finally accepted each other.”
“Does the Tang family treat Gu Ning well?” asked Jing Yunyao, because Gu Ning had already grown up when she met the members of the Tang family.
“Very well, and they look very close to each other,” said Yu Yin, feeling happy for Gu Ning about that.
Knowing that, Jing Yunyao was relieved.
Actually, even if the Tang family treated Gu Ning badly, the Leng family would treat her very well. It was quite obvious that Leng Shaoting, Master Leng, and Leng Yuanzhen’s family liked Gu Ning very much. In addition, Gu Ning deserved their love and good treatment. Jing Yunyao would treat Gu Ning well too.
If it hadn’t been for Gu Ning, she wouldn’t have been able to see Leng Shaoting. If it weren’t for Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting might be alone throughout his life.
Yu Yin continued, “The Tang family wanted to give Gu Ning some shares of its family business at the party they held to welcome her back home, but Gu Ning declined. She said that she would fight for what she wants. She isn’t an ordinary girl, and became a billionaire within a very short time.”
“Right, she isn’t an ordinary girl,” said Jing Yunyao. However, she knew that Gu Ning was unusual because she was a cultivator, which Yu Yin didn’t know.
“Oh, Gu Ning’s mother is five months pregnant. Do you mind?” asked Yu Yin.
Because Gu Ning was already 19 and her younger sister or brother would be much younger than her, it wasn’t easy for ordinary people to accept it. Some people thought it was embarrassing if there was a huge age gap between children. Some believed that the younger child would steal away the older child’s property. Especially when the older child was a girl and the family valued boys above girls, it would be impossible for the girl to inherit the family wealth.
Yu Yin believed that Jing Yunyao wouldn’t mind, but she was still slightly worried.
Jing Yunyao frowned. “I of course don’t mind, because it’s their right. I’m just worried about whether they decided to have the second child because Gu Ning is a girl.”
She only worried that the Tang family valued boys more than girls and Gu Ning might feel aggrieved. She didn’t think it was embarrassing that Gu Ning’s parents decided to have the second child at an old age.
It didn’t matter either whether her future daughter-in-law’s property would be stolen away. Gu Ning was a billionaire now, and Leng Shaoting was even richer than her. Even if Gu Ning couldn’t inherit the Tang family’s wealth, she could still live a wealthy life.
“It was Gu Ning who persuaded them to have the second child, because she spends most of her time in the capital, and she’s afraid that her parents might feel alone. If they could have another child, they won’t be alone,” said Yu Yin.
Hearing that, Jing Yunyao relaxed. In that case, the Tang family treated boys and girls equally, and Gu Ning wouldn’t be disdained.
As they shopped along the street, Yu Yin said, “There is a good clothing store. Why don’t we go there to have a look?”
“Sure,” said Jing Yunyao. Actually, she had no intention to buy clothes for herself, because she already had enough clothing. She simply came out to keep Yu Yin’s company. Wherever Yu Yin wanted to go, she would go with her.
Yu Yin, however, did her best to find clothes which were suitable for Jing Yunyao and she kept encouraging Jing Yunyao to buy them, which was Leng Shaoting’s hope and she didn’t want to disappoint him.
Once Yu Yin walked inside with Jing Yunyao, those saleswomen welcomed them with great enthusiasm. They didn’t know Yu Yin’s identity, but Yu Yin was a VIP member of the store.
Customers of this store were all rich people, especially the VIP members.
Saleswomen definitely welcomed rich customers to spend money here.
Most people were snobbish, some would show it on their faces, while some wouldn’t.
“Ms. Yu, please try on any pieces you like,” said a saleswoman. She understood that Yu Yin disliked being surrounded by saleswomen when she looked around, so the saleswoman said nothing further after greeting Yu Yin. She only followed Yu Yin in silence, waiting to serve Yu Yin at any time.
Yu Yin looked around, then took out a dress and compared it with Jing Yunyao’s build. “I think this one is good. Yunyao, try it!”
“I have enough clothes, and I don’t think I should buy more,” said Jing Yunyao at once.
“No woman can have enough clothes. Your son told me to help you shop. If you don’t spend money on your own, I’ll do it for you and he’ll pay the bill,” said Yu Yin.
Jing Yunyao was amused and didn’t know what to say. It seemed that she had to spend money today.
Anyway, Yu Yin was right. No woman could have enough clothes, every woman always wanted to buy more clothing.
Knowing that she couldn’t reject, Jing Yunyao went to put on the dress.
Before long, Jing Yunyao walked out and amazed everyone.
It was a dark-red adjusted cheongsam with golden patterns.
It was sleeveless, which was no different from the traditional cheongsam, but the lower part was different. The skirt reached a little above the knee and it had fishtail lace.
Jing Yunyao had a very beautiful face, otherwise she wouldn’t have such an extraordinarily handsome son like Leng Shaoting.
She also kept in shape and this dress accentuated her curved body. She was even more attractive than a model!
The next second, a group of saleswomen and customers surrounded her and kept complimenting her.
“Jesus, it’s amazing!”
“She’s beautiful with an outstanding build, so it looks very different on her.”
“Right, I’m envious now.”
“…”
Hearing their compliments, Jing Yunyao felt a little shy.
“We’ll buy this one,” said Yu Yin, not bothering to look at the price tag.
However, Jing Yunyao saw its price when she went to try on it just then, and it cost eighteen thousand yuan. It was too expensive in her eyes, so she denied it at once. “I think we can see other dresses. This one is too expensive.”
