Chapter 1234 Deliberately Killing Gu Ning
After taking a quick glance, Gu Ning put away his phone and continued eating.
After the meal, the group got up and left.
However, by coincidence, when Gu Ning and others arrived at the hall, they saw Gu Qingxiang, who was with three other men. Because two of them were from the back, their ages could not be seen, but the one standing behind Gu Qingxiang was Gu Qingxiang's secretary.
Gu Ning saw Gu Qingxiang, and Gu Qingxiang also saw Gu Ning.
However, when he saw Gu Ning, Gu Qingxiang suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. He felt ashamed and wanted to say hello but was too embarrassed to do so.
Gu Ning had originally considered Gu Qingxiang a stranger, and thought that the next time they met, they would just pass by. But now seeing his expression, she actually felt a sense of forgiveness, and thought that the past was the past, and there was no need to care about it anymore.
The people who were with Gu Qingxiang saw that Gu Qingxiang was suddenly distracted, so they followed his gaze and saw Gu Ning.
However, among these three people, one of them recognized Gu Ning. His originally serious expression immediately showed surprise. He put on a smile and walked towards Gu Ning.
"Miss Gu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here." The other party greeted her warmly, "You may not remember me, but we met before at the Su family banquet."
The other person spoke to Gu Ning in a humble manner, because he had seen all kinds of things about Gu Ning during that time at the Su family, and he admired him very much.
"I remember, you are Mr. Tai." With Gu Ning's memory, he naturally remembered the other person, but he only knew the other person's surname and was not clear about the other person's identity.
Director Tai was flattered that Gu Ning remembered him: "It is really an honor for me to be remembered by Miss Gu!"
"Uncle Tai" The Tai family and the Su family are distant relatives, and also have a cooperative relationship. Although Su Anya is not very familiar with each other, she is not a stranger, so she greeted each other.
"Anya, you're here too. Sorry, I didn't see you!" Upon hearing this, Director Tai noticed Su Anya and said embarrassedly.
"It's okay," Su Anya didn't care.
"You guys have had a good meal, right? Then Miss Gu, why don't you give me some face and let me treat you to dinner, how about that?" Director Tai said. This was not a polite remark, he really wanted to treat them to a meal.
Who wouldn't want to be friends with someone as outstanding as Gu Ning? Unless they were jealous and couldn't stand seeing others do well.
But he is not that kind of person anymore.
"That won't do." Before Gu Ning could say anything, Su Anya spoke up to stop him: "We are deliberately ripping off Gu Ning today. If you treat us, then our meal will be meaningless, so you can't treat us."
Upon hearing this, Director Tai was stunned.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Director Tai. As Anya said, if you treat me to this meal, it will be meaningless, so I can only decline your offer."
Even if Su Anya didn't stop him, Gu Ning would have refused. Gu Ning is not the kind of person who would be treated to a meal by anyone.
"If that's the case, then forget it." Director Tai did not force them and just obeyed them.
After finishing the conversation with Director Tai, Gu Ning looked at Gu Qingxiang and called out rather coldly, "Uncle."
The word "uncle" surprised Director Tai, and he looked towards Gu Qingxiang suddenly. Gu Qingxiang was Gu Ning's uncle?
Although Chu Peihan knew that Gu Qingxiang was Gu Ning's uncle, he was also surprised that Gu Ning greeted Gu Qingxiang. Because they knew something about their family's affairs, they thought that it was good enough that Gu Ning was not angry when he saw Gu Qingxiang, let alone greeted him.
However, they have no right to interfere or ask about Gu Ning's affairs.
The one who was most surprised was Gu Qingxiang, because he couldn't have imagined that Gu Ning would actually call him. He was simply flattered!
"Ningning, you're back!" Gu Qingxiang responded immediately, with an obviously humble attitude.
After going through so many things, he completely lost his temper towards Gu Ning, and he also fully realized how wrong what he had done before was.
Therefore, he was a little too embarrassed to see Gu Ning.
"Ms. Gu, is Boss Gu your uncle?" Director Tai asked. Even though he had indeed heard Gu Ning call Gu Qingxiang uncle, he still wanted to confirm it because it was related to his next decision.
Yes, Gu Qingxiang invited him to dinner today because of a decoration cooperation issue. Although Gu Qingxiang's company's plan was good, because the project was not small, and Gu Qingxiang's decoration company was small, he was still not very reassured.
However, if Gu Qingxiang was Gu Ning's uncle, then he would have nothing to worry about Gu Qingxiang's company.
"Yes, he is my mother's eldest brother. I take my mother's surname." Gu Ning explained.
"So that's it!" Director Tai understood and had the answer to his decision in his mind. However, he was still surprised that Gu Qingxiang was Gu Ning's uncle.
"Then Mr. Tai, uncle, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first." Gu Ning said goodbye to them.
"Okay, okay." Director Tai and Gu Qingxiang both responded.
Then, Gu Ning and his group left.
Gu Ning asked An Xi and the others to leave first while he went to pay the bill.
As soon as Gu Ning left, Director Tai said to Gu Qingxiang: "Boss Gu, I think we can discuss cooperation further. Why don't we go to the teahouse on the third floor and have a seat!"
Gu Qingxiang heard this, how could he not know what Director Tai meant! He was considering cooperating with him because of Gu Ning's relationship.
He said he was considering it, but if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to get the cooperation.
Gu Qingxiang was very excited and was extremely grateful to Gu Ning.
He had a vague feeling that Gu Ning greeted him deliberately to let Director Tai know about their relationship so that he could benefit from it.
Indeed, this was half of the reason, because she saw Gu Qingxiang's disappointed expression and guessed that the business was hopeless. The other half of the reason was that since she had seen it, since she had forgiven him in her heart, and since Gu Qingxiang had completely awakened, she didn't want to hate him anymore.
Some people may think that Gu Ning’s position is not firm, and that he can forgive those who have hurt him, which is not the emotion a killer should have.
It is true that she was a killer in her previous life, but she is not in this life. She has experienced relatives, love, and friendship, and is no longer that cold-blooded person.
Moreover, Gu Qingxiang's family has already been punished, and their crimes are not unforgivable.
Some things cannot be forgiven, but some things can still be forgiven.
"Okay, okay." Gu Qingxiang responded happily, and then the group walked towards the elevator again.
When leaving, Gu Qingxiang looked back at Gu Ning's back in front of the cashier counter with a complicated expression.
