Chapter 28 Dinner
Zhou Qinghe looked at them, his brows stained with an indelible haze, and then he said, "Ningning, don't say anything, let me talk."
But looking at the aggressive look of the Zhou family, Wen Ning knew they were definitely coming for him.
Moreover, since she dared to say those words in public, she must have already prepared a response strategy in her mind.
However, the only thing that surprised her was that Zhou Donghai has always been very concerned about his reputation. This time, he couldn't wait to go home and had a fit outside.
Wen Ning pushed Zhou Qinghe's wheelchair forward and whispered, "It's okay, they're coming for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qingyan snorted in dissatisfaction, "You two still know how to come out!"
Zhou Qinghe spoke first, "I've already sent you a message, you go first."
Lin Wanyi quickly said, "Yes, He'er did tell me, but Mom thought that the whole family should go back together."
As night fell, Zhou Donghai's cold and resolute profile was covered with a shadow, making his expression somewhat indistinguishable.
He suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Isn't your teacher with you?"
Teacher Gu?
Wen Ning frowned slightly and replied cautiously, "The teacher had something to do and left a long time ago."
After saying that, Zhou Donghai said "oh" and turned around and got into the car. "Okay, let's go home."
As soon as Zhou Donghai gave the order, everyone else got in the car.
But this time, neither Zhou Yaya nor Lin Wanyi got in the same car with them.
At this time, the black Maybach was driving in the front.
Zhou Donghai asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out?"
Zhou Qingci stared at the computer screen in front of him, which displayed Peng Zeyu's headshot and his personal profile.
"Peng Zeyu is the illegitimate son of the Peng family in Beijing. Although he was taken in to be raised by the Peng family shortly after birth, he has never been taken seriously. Now he is just a second-generation rich man who only knows how to live a life of luxury and has no involvement in any of the Peng family's business."
"As for Gu Boyan..."
Zhou Donghai turned his head, his eagle eyes staring at him, "What?"
Zhou Qingci raised his hand to rub the aching root of his nose, and said tiredly, "I can't find it. There is a Gu family in the capital, which is the leader of the four wealthy families, but I didn't find this name among them."
It stands to reason that in the Internet age, anyone with a little fame will leave a mark on it.
If nothing can be found, it is either from a very important source or no one cares.
Just thinking about the VIP tickets Zhou Yaya mentioned, Zhou Donghai still had doubts in his heart, "What did Xu Feng say?"
"He just said that Gu Boyan was his cousin who had just returned from studying abroad. He came to City A to recuperate, and that he was tutoring Wen Ning out of respect."
Zhou Donghai was silent for a moment, "......"
The fact that he became Wen Ning's tutor was indeed not something that the truly top-tier young masters of wealthy families would do.
So, are they overthinking it?
After returning to the Zhou family mansion, Zhou Qinghe and Wen Ning originally planned to go directly back to their villa, but Zhou Donghai told them to stay in the main house for dinner.
Although Wen Ning wanted to go back to study as soon as possible.
But being in the Zhou family, she cannot resist Zhou Donghai for the time being.
However, I originally thought that this dinner was a Hongmen Banquet, but surprisingly, it was just an ordinary dinner.
Zhou Donghai even asked about her grades with concern. After learning that she scored more than 500 points, he praised her a few words.
But in the face of this praise, Wen Ning did not feel happy at all. Instead, he felt weird. What on earth did Zhou Donghai want to do?
At this moment, Zhou Yaya was jealous and crazy watching this scene.
She was very upset because of what happened on the Ferris wheel in the afternoon and thought that Zhou Donghai would teach Wen Ning a lesson after they got home.
Unexpectedly, instead of scolding her, he even showed some concern for her.
Zhou Yaya's vigilance immediately reached its highest level.
After dinner.
Zhou Qinghe and Wen Ning walked back together.
On the way, we talked about Zhou Donghai's abnormality.
Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "Dad is a typical businessman."
Wen Ning pondered the word "merchant," and the first adjective that came to mind was profit-driven.
Then he immediately realized, "He has his eyes on Teacher Gu?"
Zhou Qinghe smiled and said, "My sister is smart."
Wen Ning: “…”
"But it's not accurate to say he's interested in you. He probably hasn't found out much about Gu Boyan, otherwise tonight he wouldn't just be concerned about your studies."
Wen Ning thought about it carefully and it made sense.
Is there really some hidden identity behind Teacher Gu?
But then she thought again, she was just Teacher Gu's student, and Teacher Gu's real identity had nothing to do with her.
After figuring this out, Wen Ning focused on studying again.
I played all day today, I need to work harder tonight.
The next day at noon.
Gu Boyan and Wen Ning finished their morning lectures and were just about to go out for lunch when they saw Zhou Qinghe waiting for them with an unhappy look on his face.
Wen Ning asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Qinghe said, "Dad told us to go to the main house for lunch. Steward Lin is waiting for us downstairs."
Butler Lin is the Zhou family's chief butler. He has been with Zhou Donghai for decades and can be said to be one of Zhou Donghai's most trusted people.
And this time, having Steward Lin come here specially to invite them means that they must go.
Wen Ning was also a little unhappy.
At some point, Steward Lin came forward with a smile.
"Young Master, Miss, the head of the family must be waiting impatiently. Let's go over there quickly. Oh, Teacher Gu is here too. Let's go have lunch together."
Gu Boyan's eyes moved slightly, "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful."
Steward Lin smiled politely, "This way, please."
Walking behind, Wen Ning said apologetically, "Teacher Gu, I'm sorry, I've caused you so much trouble."
Gu Boyan raised his eyebrows slightly. "What kind of trouble is this, Mr. Wen? Don't think too much. Just study hard."
Wen Ning blinked and looked at him, feeling inexplicably at ease.
Arrived at the main house restaurant.
Zhou Qinghe greeted everyone and found a seat to sit down. Surprisingly, Shen Xufeng was also there tonight, sitting next to Zhou Yaya.
He saw Gu Boyan was the first to call out, "Uncle."
Zhou Donghai sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "Xufeng, we asked your cousin to come and help Ningning with her lessons this time. You didn't tell us about this earlier, so we were neglectful."
Shen Xufeng smiled awkwardly and took all the responsibility on himself.
Zhou Donghai raised his glass again and said, "Mr. Gu, I want to toast you for my carelessness earlier."
Gu Boyan picked up the water cup at hand and raised it slightly.
"Mr. Zhou, there's no need to do this."
"At this moment, I am merely Wen Ning's teacher."
The words were flawless and left Zhou Donghai speechless.
He originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to personally find out more about Gu Boyan's abilities.
But unexpectedly, the topic had just begun when Gu Boyan choked it back.
Because at this time, he had said that in the Zhou family, he was just Wen Ning's teacher. As for Shen Xufeng's uncle, or anyone from the wealthy Gu family in Beijing, they had nothing to do with them.
A hint of fierce gloom flashed across Zhou Donghai's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "Teacher Gu is right. This is a token of my gratitude for your guidance of my daughter during this period of time."
Gu Boyan's lips curled slightly, "No problem. After all, I have accepted the high tuition fees from the Zhou family, so I will naturally pay more attention to Miss Wen's studies."
Seeing this, Lin Wanyi quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Alright, stop talking, the food is getting cold, let's eat quickly."
Zhou Yaya immediately picked up a piece of fish for Lin Wanyi and a piece of meat for Zhou Donghai.
Zhou Donghai praised her with a smile on his face, saying, "Yaya is really sensible."
Zhou Yaya smiled shyly, and when she turned around, she saw a freshly peeled shrimp on her plate.
"Thank you, Brother Xufeng."
As he spoke, he looked in Wen Ning's direction.
But to their disappointment again, Wen Ning was eating seriously with his head down, taking a bite of meat and a bite of vegetables, without even raising his head, and paying no attention to the table at all.
A hint of gloom flashed across Zhou Yaya's eyes, but when she thought about what she was about to do, a sense of pride arose in her heart.
Soon, just as the dinner was coming to an end.
Wen Ning had almost finished eating and was drinking his soup while reciting classical Chinese in his mind.
Suddenly, I heard her name explode in the air.
