Chapter 168 Leng Shaoting is insomniac
After blowing dry his waist-length hair, he tied it up casually to avoid inconvenience when eating later.
Then, Gu Ning picked up his keys and cell phone, went out, and went to Gu Qing's house across the street.
Seeing Jiang Xu was there, he asked with concern: "Uncle, you are back, is everything going well?"
"Everything is going well. The building materials will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, and we can open the business the day after tomorrow." Jiang Xu said cheerfully, looking very happy.
"That's good." Gu Ning felt relieved when everything went smoothly.
Then, Gu Ning walked to the kitchen, looked at Gu Man and Gu Qing who were busy, and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No need, it will be ready soon, just go and sit down!" Gu Qing said.
"By the way, how are things at the beauty salon? Are there any difficulties?" Gu Ning asked with concern.
"Everything is fine, except that we were a little uncomfortable at the beginning." Gu Qing said.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it slowly." Gu Ning comforted him, and then asked, "Where's Xinyue?"
"In the room! I don't know what happened to him today. He locked himself in the room as soon as he got home from school. I couldn't call him out. It's too abnormal." Gu Qing said worriedly.
"I'll go check it out," Gu Ning said, and walked towards Jiang Xinyue's room and knocked on the door: "Xinyue, I'm Sister Ningning, what are you doing!"
"Nothing!" Jiang Xinyue's reply came from inside the room, but she didn't show any intention of coming out. However, the perceptive Gu Ning could tell that something was wrong with Jiang Xinyue's voice.
Jiang Xinyue cried.
But why!
"Can you open the door and let me in?" Gu Ning asked.
"Sister Ningning, I'm reading a book!" Jiang Xinyue was refusing in disguise.
"This child, how can she be so rude? It won't be the same no matter when you watch it! Why does she have to watch it now? Xinyue, come out here." Upon hearing this, Gu Qing rushed over from the kitchen and yelled.
"Aunt, it's okay, go and get busy!" Gu Ning immediately pushed Gu Qing to the kitchen.
Although Gu Ning didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, it was obvious that something was wrong with Jiang Xinyue, so Gu Ning had to open his jade pupils and see through her.
In the room, Jiang Xinyue was sitting at the desk, but she was not reading, but crying.
There was clearly a slap mark on Jiang Xinyue's left cheek. No, it should be several slap marks superimposed on each other.
Seeing this, Gu Ning's face suddenly darkened. He knew that Jiang Xinyue didn't want to come out because she didn't want the slap mark on her face to be discovered.
Gu Ning immediately went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice drink, and then sent a text message to Jiang Xinyue: Xinyue, if you don’t want your parents to know what happened and they are worried about you, just open the door and let me in. I can help you.
When Jiang Xinyue saw the text message, she panicked and wondered whether to open the door.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he stood up and went to open the door for Gu Ning.
Jiang Xinyue had her hair down, trying her best to cover her left cheek with her hair.
After the door opened, Jiang Xinyue saw Gu Ning standing in front of the door and called her "sister". Then she lowered her head, not daring to look her in the eye.
After Gu Ning entered, he immediately closed the door, locked it, and then pulled Jiang Xinyue towards the bed.
Without saying anything, he took out the can of ice drink in his hand and went to help Jiang Xinyue apply it on her face. Jiang Xinyue subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Gu Ning stopped her coldly: "If you don't want your parents to see it, don't move."
After hearing this, Jiang Xinyue really didn't dare to move. Even after Gu Ning changed, she was still afraid of Gu Ning.
Gu Ning's use of the ice can to apply to Jiang Xinyue's face was just a trick. In fact, he was secretly injecting spiritual energy to erase the red marks.
However, in order to avoid arousing Jiang Xinyue's suspicion, he still kept the can of ice drink on her face for a few minutes.
"Sister, how did you know..." Jiang Xinyue realized belatedly how Gu Ning knew what happened on her face.
"Don't worry about how I know that. Just tell me what's going on!" Gu Ning asked, of course he would not tell Jiang Xinyue what was going on.
Jiang Xinyue heard this and stammered, not knowing how to start.
"explain"
Gu Ning's tone of voice did not allow for resistance, and Jiang Xinyue was so scared that she immediately said, "A boy in our school liked me, so he wrote me a letter, but I didn't accept it. Then, the girl who liked that boy knew that he wrote to me, so she came to me, slapped me hard, and warned me to stay away from him, otherwise, she would beat me every time she saw him. But, I didn't have anything to do with that boy at all!"
As she spoke, Jiang Xinyue started crying in grievance.
Hearing this, Gu Ning's face darkened again, with a ball of rage burning in his heart.
"Which class is the girl who beat you in? What's her name?" Gu Ning asked coldly, suppressing his anger.
"Xia Jiaojiao, Feng Xiaoyu, and Zhang Yanling from Class 3 of Grade 9." Facing such a serious Gu Ning, Jiang Xinyue didn't dare to hide anything.
"I know. I will seek justice for you. Remember this, don't hide and cry alone when you are bullied. You must learn to fight back. Because blindly enduring will only add fuel to the flames of others. If you can't fight back, tell me and I will help you, okay?" Gu Ning taught them. She didn't want her family to continue to be cowardly and submissive.
"Yes." Jiang Xinyue didn't dare to object to Gu Ning's words, and she also knew that being cowardly would only lead to being bullied.
I'm just used to being cowardly, and it's impossible to change it all at once.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes were originally red and swollen from crying, but Gu Ning's spiritual energy wiped away the red marks on her cheeks, so when she came out to eat with Gu Ning, there was nothing unusual.
Jiang Xinyue was surprised by this, but didn't think much about it.
Before coming out, Gu Ning had agreed on an excuse with Jiang Xinyue, saying that she was in a bad mood because her test results were not very good.
Gu Qing and others did not doubt him and comforted Jiang Xinyue, saying that if she did not do well in the exam this time, she just needed to work harder next time.
While the two families were happily eating their meal, Leng Shaoting was searching online on how to pursue girls.
There is everything you can think of, including giving people what they like, sending flowers, watching movies, giving gifts, asking about their well-being, and saying sweet words.
But not every girl is the same, so the way they like things is also different, which makes Leng Shaoting feel troubled.
So Leng Shaoting couldn't sleep that night.
Early the next morning, when Gu Ning walked out of Area G, she saw a black Land Rover parked on the side of the road. Leng Shaoting was standing by the car door, facing her.
Gu Ning didn't deny that when she came out, she saw Leng Shaoting leaning against the car door, which was so cool that she couldn't help but be dazed.
When he saw Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting stood up straight immediately. Facing her, he was still a little uncomfortable and nervous: "Well, I'll take you to school."
Gu Ning came back to his senses and felt a little guilty for being distracted, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and refused indifferently: "No, I'm used to running to school."
Leng Shaoting's face was slightly stiff, and he felt a little disappointed because he was rejected: "Then I will run with you to school."
