Chapter 184 Can You Take Me to the Airport?
After all, Gu Ning was a senior who was going to have her final exams a week later, and attend the National College Entrance Exam after several months.
“It’s fine. I’m so excellent at studying now!” Gu Ning joked, but it was the truth. She was confident that she was going to get good scores even if she was absent from all the classes if her teachers allowed her to do that.
“Ha-ha, very well! Then I’ll pick you up in the morning the day after tomorrow,” Zhou Zhenghong laughed. He of course believed in Gu Ning. She was a great person with an almighty ability in his opinion.
Gu Ning knew that Leng Shaoting heard the conversation between Zhou Zhenghong and her, but she didn’t mind. She told him instead, “I’m going to deal with something in City G the day after tomorrow.”
“Well, I was going to tell you that I’ll be away on the weekend too,” Leng Shaoting replied.
“When?” Gu Ning asked. She didn’t want him to leave her.
“It’s set on Saturday, but since you’re leaving on Friday, I’ll leave on Friday as well,” Leng Shaoting said. He deliberately made it clear that he didn’t want to stay here without Gu Ning.
Gu Ning didn’t know what to say, but felt happy in her heart.
“May we dine together tomorrow afternoon?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“My uncle’s construction material store will be opening tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be free tomorrow,” Gu Ning said.
Leng Shaoting nodded. He seemed a little disappoint, which made Gu Ning feel bad. After a second of thought, she added, “My plane will be taking off at 8:30 am. Can you take me to the airport?”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting’s eyes lit up at once. “Sure!”
After the meal, they had a slow walk back to Fenghua Luxury Mansion. Leng Shaoting walked Gu Ning to the gate of zone G. He didn’t leave until Gu Ning disappeared from his sight.
Jiang Xu was home no earlier than Gu Ning. He told Gu Ning that the store would open tomorrow. They didn’t know many important figures yet, so they had no intention of attracting much attention.
Gu Ning, instead, didn’t want the opening ceremony to be so boring. She called An Guangyao later and told him to send two baskets of flowers on behalf of Shenghua Real Estate to congratulate Jiang Xu.
She also told Hao Ran and the others in their WeChat group. They would be there tomorrow too. An Qian received an invitation as well, and she agreed with alacrity.
As for Qin Yifan, Gu Ning thought she better not invite him, because it would be embarrassing.
However, at that time, Qin Zixun’s family was right in the Qin Family home. They were chatting in the hall after the meal.
Qin Zixun didn’t know what had happened between Qin Yifan and Gu Ning, so he asked directly, “Hey, Our boss’s family’s construction material store will be opening tomorrow. Will you be attending the ceremony?”
Hearing that, Qin Yifan was surprised. He had no idea that Gu Ning’s family was going to run a construction material store.
“Boss? It sounds like a gangster’s word. Did you join a gang in your school?” Qin Zixun’s father Qin Haozhi asked seriously. As an honest government worker, he hated gangs.
Qin Zixun understood his father’s temper, so he immediately explained, “Of course not! We’re just a group of good friends. There is a girl who is extremely good at fighting, so we call her our boss.”
Hearing that, the Qin Family was displeased again. Qin Zixun’s mother, Lu Hanlan scolded him, “Zixun, the National College Entrance Exam is just around the corner. Stop playing around all day, and focus on your studying! If you fail to get into a prestigious university, our family will be embarrassed.”
Lu Hanlan valued the reputation of their family the most. Many of her friends’ children had attended the examination last year, and all of them had been admitted into a prestigious university. If Qin Zixun couldn’t do the same, it would be a shame to the Qin Family!
Speaking of studying, Qin Zixun was upset.
Qin Yifan walked away for a while then came back with a wooden box in his hands. It was as big as half a shoe box. He handed it to Qin Yifan. “I’m occupied tomorrow. Please help me send this gold brave troops to her!”
He wanted to go, but he wasn’t invited. Besides, he also didn’t know how to face her.
“What? The gold brave troops? It was completely made of pure gold, and worth over a million yuan!” Qin Yiqing was shocked. The rest were all astonished as well.
Normally, the gifts for the opening ceremony were at the price of a couple dozen thousand yuan at the most. Qin Yifan’s present was too expensive.
Qin Yifan wore a wry smile. “I don’t think it’s too much. I just invited her to have fun at father’s birthday party the other day, but she sent an antique worth several million yuan. A million yuan is nothing to her.”
Hearing that, everyone was amazed. They
immediately figured out who Qin Zixun’s boss was. It must be the girl who had sent the antique with Qin Zixun the other day.
However, Qin Haozheng still asked to make sure, “Is Zixun’s boss the girl named Gu Ning?”
“Yes! Our boss is exactly Gu Ning. Not only is she good at fighting, she is also excellent at studying. She’s the top one in our grade!” Qin Zixun was proud to introduce his boss.
Hearing that it was Gu Ning, Qin Haozheng and his wife had mixed emotions, because they were sorry for what Qin Yiqing had done to her.
Qin Yiqing also felt uneasy. Qin Yifan still wasn’t willing to forgive her because of the drama last time. He always talked to her in a sarcastic way these days.
“I remember this girl. She is stunning with an air of elegance. I thought that she must be from a super-rich family, but I have never heard of an influential family with the family name ‘Gu’ in City F,” Lu Hanlan said. She actually had a good impression of Gu Ning.
Both Qin Yifan’s parents and Qin Yiqing now knew that although Gu Ning wasn’t from a super-rich family, she was extraordinarily outstanding. She had made over a hundred million yuan at such a young age, but they didn’t mention it this time.
The next day, Leng Shaoting ran with Gu Ning to her school as usual, but he deliberately stayed five meters behind her. Moreover, he didn’t follow her to the school. When they had almost arrived, he went back at once. Gu Ning felt like laughing seeing Leng Shaoting being so careful.
During the break, Gu Ning went to ask for a leave. She told her head teacher that her uncle’s store was going to open today, and that she had to be there. And that she also needed to go to City G tomorrow.
Zhang Qiuhua was slightly displeased. “Gu Ning, how come you’re always occupied with other things? Do you know that the test is around the corner?”
“I promise it won’t affect my studying! I’m terribly sorry to ask for a leave so often, but I have to do so,” Gu Ning said.
