Chapter 1948 Thought I had finally gotten the point
"Uh! Your friend? Not Shao Ting's girlfriend?" Upon hearing Gu Ning's introduction, Grandpa Xu suddenly felt unwell. He had thought his grandson had finally gotten the point and had a girlfriend, but Gu Ning introduced that she was his friend. His good mood instantly fell to the bottom!
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying were immediately embarrassed, while Grandpa Leng and Jiang Zhongyu were speechless. Who said that a man and a man standing together are in a relationship?
This old man Xu, is he crazy about his granddaughter-in-law? Okay! He really is crazy about his granddaughter-in-law, it's all because of old man Leng who often brags about Gu Ning.
Gu Ning couldn't help laughing and asked playfully, "Grandpa Xu, do you hope she is Brother Xu's girlfriend?"
"Of course! This kid is already an adult, shouldn't he have a girlfriend? Shao Ting has had a girlfriend for so long. Now I finally see a girl by his side, and I thought he had come to his senses and had a girlfriend, but..." Old Master Xu said, extremely disappointed and even a little heartbroken.
Gu Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "If Grandpa Xu wants it, then let Big Brother Xu work harder."
When Gu Ning said this, he also revealed the relationship between them. Although they are not yet a couple, there is potential.
This made Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying feel even more embarrassed.
But Mr. Xu's eyes lit up, and then he said to Xu Jingchen seriously: "You have to work harder for me. If I don't deal with your problem this year, I will show you how I will deal with you."
After that, he looked at Zi Beiying, his expression instantly became kind, and said: "Girl, actually my Jingchen is quite good. He may not be able to say any sweet words, but he is handsome and capable. Most importantly, we Xu family members are very loyal. You should think about it carefully!"
Mr. Xu's words made Zi Beiying feel shy and at a loss. She didn't know how to respond. She looked at Gu Ning for help, hoping that Gu Ning could help her out.
"Grandpa, you..." Xu Jingchen didn't know what to say. He didn't want to deny the relationship between him and Zi Beiying. Although they didn't have a relationship yet, it was only a matter of time.
But we are not in a relationship yet, so it is hard to admit it, for fear that Zi Beiying will be angry.
"Grandpa Xu, your words make the girl feel embarrassed. I'll take her to sit down first." Gu Ning said, and pulled Zi Beiying over.
"Okay! Okay!" Mr. Xu knew that he had gone too far, so he stopped talking. However, he would glance at Zi Beiying from time to time. He seemed to be more and more satisfied, which made Zi Beiying feel uncomfortable.
Rong Zechen, who was sitting in the first row, was very upset when he saw that Gu Ning actually knew Xu Jingchen. He thought, could it be that he knew not only the old men, but also Xu Jingchen? Could it be that he knew their families as well? Rong Zechen was right, but he didn't know all of their families.
The auction will start in ten minutes, and most people have already arrived, except for a few who have not yet arrived.
In the venue, Gu Ning saw the instrument expert of the XX Concert Hall in the capital of the Kingdom of Dipudong, Harada Motoichi, who was sitting in the fifth row. When Gu Ning saw him, he remained calm on the surface, but a chill grew in his heart.
The person who was with Harada Motoichi, no, it should be the person who was with Harada Motoichi, was a middle-aged man, and this man was the person behind the kidnapping of Chen Darong by helping Harada Motoichi.
This man is called Zhang Chengtao. He is the chairman of a certain group and has a net worth of about 5 billion yuan. His brother-in-law is the deputy executive officer of a certain bureau, so he is quite powerful in the capital.
Gu Ning decided to teach Harada Motoichi a lesson, and naturally Zhang Chengtao would not be left out. He was not only the mastermind, but also an accomplice.
Okay, let’s do this later.
In addition to Motoichi Harada, there are also some foreign faces.
Foreigners are not prohibited from visiting the auction, but they are not qualified to bid at the auction. Only Chinese people are qualified to bid.
Of course, this will inevitably lead to them asking Chinese people to help with the auction. This kind of thing is sometimes unavoidable.
However, this time they all came for the bronze chimes, and the bronze chimes already had an owner, so they were destined to return disappointed.
Five minutes before the start, the Yuan family arrived. They were the old man of the Yuan family and his granddaughter, Yuan Yilin.
When Yuan Yilin saw Gu Ning, she was very surprised. She didn't expect Gu Ning to be there too.
Moreover, she was even more beautiful and elegant today than usual, which made Yuan Yilin's eyes flash with jealousy.
What's more, she was actually sitting in the second row, and next to her were the old man from the Leng family, the old man from the Xu family, and the old man from the Jiang family.
Gu Ning was actually talking to the old man of the Leng family, as if they were very familiar with each other.
What's going on? How did Gu Ning know the old man from the Leng family?
Also, sitting at the same table with Gu Ning was Xu Jingchen.
She underestimated Gu Ning. It turned out that she knew these people! No wonder she was so arrogant! But she didn't think that Gu Ning really had a good relationship with the old man of the Leng family. Gu Ning was just a little girl. How could she really catch their eyes? At most, they thought that Gu Ning was young and had some skills, so they said a few words to her out of admiration.
Because Yuan Yilin had not seen the attitude of Mr. Leng and his men towards her before, it was understandable that she thought so. After all, for many people, the so-called friendship of no age difference did not exist. Only when people of the same age were of similar age could they become friends.
Suddenly, Yuan Yilin thought of something, and a calculation flashed across her eyes. Then she immediately showed a gentle smile and greeted Gu Ning familiarly: "Xiaomei Gu, what a coincidence! So you are here too!"
The fact that Yuan Yilin took the initiative to greet him and smiled so gently and spoke in such a familiar tone was abnormal to Gu Ning, so he immediately felt a conspiracy.
She didn't think that Yuan Yilin saw her talking to Mr. Leng and knew that she knew an important person, so she wanted to ease the relationship with her! Because Yuan Yilin was a member of the Yuan family, the Yuan family and the Leng family were enemies, and their family backgrounds were similar, so Yuan Yilin didn't need to be afraid of the Leng family, nor did she need to leave a good impression on Mr. Leng.
Therefore, there is no reason for Yuan Yilin to ease the relationship with her because of Mr. Leng.
Then the only possibility is that he deliberately pretended to have a good relationship with her and let Old Master Leng distance himself from her.
Why is this?
Because the Yuan family and the Leng family are in opposition, if Gu Ning and Yuan Yilin have a good relationship, the Leng family will naturally distance themselves from Gu Ning, because being too close to someone who has a good relationship with the enemy is not a good thing.
