Lu Cheng wouldn't let Mu An'an stay. He waited at the Su family's gate, wanting to take her away so that the two of them could have a chance to be alone.
However, as Mu An'an kept calling him "Second Uncle," Lu Cheng's face tightened, and he turned around to give An'an a cold look. An'an's heart raced, and she lowered her head in fear.
Second Uncle, you're still so scary!
Her fragile heart couldn't take it; she'd better find another chance to slip away later.
With Lu Cheng and Mu An'an no longer there to bother him, Gu Jingchen's mood improved considerably.
"Ningning, are you thirsty?"
The car was spacious, and Gu Jingchen poured Su Ning a glass of hot water and handed it to her.
Su Ning took a sip, and Gu Jingchen brought more food to her.
"Ningning, are you hungry?"
With only an hour and a half left before breakfast, Su Ning wondered if she was a pig, getting hungry so quickly!
I'm not hungry!
She replied in a calm voice, noticing the dimming in the depths of the eyes visible through the mask.
"Isn't it stuffy to wear a mask?"
Bored, of course I'm bored.
However, he valued his reputation more and didn't want Ningning to despise him.
"I've seen you before, no matter what you look like." Su Ning rolled her eyes at him.
This man's personality is really changeable. When he first returned to Nancheng, he was aloof and ruthless. Now he's desperately trying to please her, like a little puppy sticking to her every day and refusing to leave.
"Mmm." Gu Jingchen felt completely comfortable hearing Su Ning's words. Yes, Ningning had seen him in every way imaginable.
Listening to his wife, Gu Jingchen took off his mask, revealing his disfigured face, which made Su Ning's lips curl into a smile.
An'an wanted to see Gu Jingchen like this, so she took a picture.
Su Ning took out her phone and quickly snapped a picture of Gu Jingchen's face. Gu Jingchen assumed Su Ning was simply taking a picture of him and didn't stop her.
Ningning had never seen him like this before.
After taking the photo, Su Ning posted it to the group chat.
An'an and Chu Feng immediately jumped out.
An'an: It's really ugly! How much do you think this photo could sell for?!
The photo of Gu Jingchen shows him as a disfigured Mr. Gu.
Needless to say, it's very valuable.
Chu Feng: We can give it a try!
Su Ning was about to type out a message telling them that even if the photos were uploaded online, Gu Jingchen would definitely block them within three minutes.
So, stop posting it.
Before she could finish typing that sentence, she received a call from Mr. Xu.
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
When Gu Jingchen heard that it was Mr. Xu calling, he immediately moved closer, his face darkening.
Ningning said that Mr. Xu wanted the Su Group in her possession and then wanted to acquire it.
There really wasn't much development after the Su family.
It's really strange that Mr. Xu offered such a high price.
Unsolicited kindness should be viewed with caution.
"OK."
"A banquet? When is it? Let me check the time."
After a brief conversation, Su Ning hung up the phone.
"Is it a banquet hosted by the Xu family?" Gu Jingchen asked.
"Um!"
Gu Jingchen's expression grew even more solemn. This was Nancheng, not Xu's territory, yet the Xu family was going to hold a banquet here.
Lu Cheng also mentioned this matter in the car earlier.
Mr. Xu is hosting a banquet and has invited the top families in Nancheng.
What is he planning to do? Expand the Xu family's business empire to the southern part of the city? But he didn't acquire any other companies; he only targeted the Su family.
If they really wanted to dominate the business world of Nancheng, they shouldn't have targeted the useless Su family.
Or perhaps he came for the Su and Gu families.
“Ningning, Mr. Xu is no ordinary person,” Gu Jingchen said in a deep voice.
