Chapter 1771: Shining on the surface, dirty in secret
Although the cultivators who were following Gu Ning had changed their route because of the appearance of Baili Zongyang and his sister, they would still occasionally glance past this side without any expression. Although they were not surprised that Baili Zongyang and his sister knew Gu Ning, they were still a little worried.
After all, Baili Zongyang and his people often go in and out of the secular world, so it is normal for them to know people from the secular world, but he is worried that their contact may be related to the "Jade Dragon Phoenix and Cloud Patterned Bi".
But there is no point in worrying about it, I can only pray that it is not the case.
"Yes! Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon? If not, let's have dinner together! Should we meet?" Baili Zongyang said.
"Will it delay your business?" Gu Ning asked. She didn't intend to refuse. They didn't have anything else to do anyway, and they were just going to eat when they returned. What's the harm in eating together? Besides, Baili Zongyang had invited her many times, and she refused. If she refused again, she would feel embarrassed.
Even if Baili Zongyang didn't invite her, she would have invited them out of courtesy.
"No, we are all free today, so we came out to play." Baili Zongyang said.
"Okay then, where shall we eat?" Gu Ning asked.
"What do you want to eat?" Baili Zongyang asked back. Since he was treating them, it was natural for them to choose.
"We don't care, you decide!" Mu Ke said. Not to mention that they didn't know what to eat, even if they wanted to eat something, they wouldn't say it directly. It was better to let them decide.
"Then why don't we go eat hotpot! Let's go to Nancheng District Food Street and decide which restaurant to eat when we get there." Gu Ning said, not wanting to push it back.
"Okay," Baili Zongyang said.
Then everyone got into their cars and left.
Although the cultivator who was following Gu Ning was far away from them, he could see that they had agreed to leave together and go somewhere, so he could not follow them. Because his cultivation was not as good as Baili Zongyang's, if he followed them, he would be discovered quickly.
However, thinking that he had finally met this girl, and that the appearance of Baili Zongyang and his sister had disrupted his pursuit, he was most worried about whether Baili Zongyang had any connection with the "Jade Dragon Phoenix and Cloud Patterned Bi".
He had to find out the girl's identity and address as soon as possible, and then directly hold her hostage and force her to hand over the "Jade Dragon Phoenix and Cloud Patterned Bi".
At worst, he paid for it.
He could still afford tens of millions, and for cultivators, treasures were often more important than money.
For the sake of spiritual energy, they also spend a lot of money to buy jade and jadeite with rich spiritual energy.
It is not a loss to buy jade and jadeite, because after they absorb the spiritual energy, you can still make the jade and jadeite into jewelry. Anyway, for mortals, there is no difference.
Gu Ning and others returned to Nancheng District and arrived at XX hot pot restaurant.
It was already six o'clock, so there were a lot of people eating there. XX Hotpot Restaurant was so popular that it was packed every day. If you came later, there would be no seats left.
Although you can reserve a table in advance, you can only reserve the table for half an hour, and you need to pay a deposit of one hundred yuan. If you don't show up, the deposit will not be refunded.
Because the half-hour they keep the table will also cause other customers to leave.
Originally Baili Zongyang planned to book a private room, but there were no more, so he could only sleep in the lobby.
Of course, Gu Ning and the others didn't care whether it was in the hall or the private room. It was just that Baili Zongyang felt that it was better to invite people to dinner in a private room because it was quieter.
When Gu Ning and others arrived, they saw many people waiting, but one group of people was arguing with the clerk.
The reason was that the customer with queue number 16 felt that they had waited too long, so they stopped waiting and planned to eat something else. However, after looking around, they didn’t see anything they liked, so they thought that their queue number 16 was about to end, so they came back.
The hotpot restaurant has a rule that orders that are exceeded will be invalid. It happened that the guests from No. 16 came back and it was No. 17’s turn. The guests from No. 16 then demanded that their orders be given to them first, but rules are rules and the clerk naturally disagreed, so a quarrel broke out.
But these had nothing to do with them, so after Gu Ning and his companions arrived, they went straight in.
Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi are not the kind of people who eat less to maintain their figure. They exercise every day, so they won't get fat no matter how much they eat, so they eat as much as they want.
Gu Ning never hurts his mouth and stomach, he eats whatever he wants.
As a cultivator, Baili Zongxue naturally doesn't worry about getting fat, so he eats whatever he wants.
Everyone ate a lot during this meal, and then left.
Because Gu Ning still needed to take Mu Ke to the Shengshi Hotel, he separated from Baili Zongyang and his sister in the parking lot.
At two o'clock this afternoon, "Tang Group" held a press conference and announced that the former chairman of "Tang Group" would hand over his shares to his nephew Tang Qingyang due to serious illness. From today on, Tang Qingyang will be the person in charge of "Tang Group".
The Tang Group is also a very prestigious company in the capital, so when the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation and became the subject of everyone's discussion.
Many people also knew about the scandal that the Tang family had been involved in some time ago, especially those in the upper class, so they did not find it surprising that Tang Bingsen was seriously ill. Instead, it was something that had been speculated for a long time.
Before Tang Yaxin's wedding, few of them knew that the Tang family had another daughter, and few knew that Ji Yijing was the mistress and the third wife.
But they all knew all these things at Tang Yaxin's wedding.
Tang Bingsen’s eldest daughter had an accident last year, then returned after plastic surgery and made a scene at the wedding. This was obviously revenge. Moreover, Tang Aining’s accident was related to the Tang family.
The wealthy families appear glamorous on the surface, but are actually filthy in secret. They will do anything for the sake of property, and for them, Tang Aining's accident was all about property.
Many people witnessed Tang Aining's power that day, so everyone had guessed what would happen to the Tang family. It would not be an easy thing.
During this period, "Tang Group" was also affected to some extent, but it was not a big one.
Now, Tang Bingsen is seriously ill and Tang Yaxin suffers from cerebral palsy. The only most suitable candidate to be the successor to the Tang Group is Tang Qingyang.
Tang Aining and Tang Bingsen have a grudge, so it is impossible for Tang Bingsen to hand over the company to Tang Aining. Therefore, it is only right for Tang Qingyang to inherit the Tang Group.
Moreover, Tang Qingyang has always had a good reputation, so few people think that Tang Qingyang was involved in the conspiracy against Tang Bingsen.
Of course, there are still some people who don’t know about these circumstances and suspect that Tang Qingyang did something to Tang Bingsen in order to get money.
