Chapter 1949: Disrespect for Grandpa Leng
Of course, if Yuan Yilin really had this purpose, Gu Ning could only say that she was overthinking it.
Because it was mentioned before that Gu Ning's relationship with Mr. Leng was just average, but she had a really good relationship with Yuan Yilin.
Yes, Yuan Yilin held this attitude. Even though she didn’t think that Gu Ning and Old Man Leng had a very good relationship, she just couldn’t bear to see Gu Ning getting along with them.
"Senior Yuan," Gu Ning responded indifferently.
"Who did you come with?" Yuan Yilin asked.
"I received the invitation myself," Gu Ning responded, and then said apologetically, "Senior Yuan, I'm so sorry. I'm talking to Grandpa Leng and can't continue chatting with you. It would be disrespectful to Grandpa Leng to interrupt him so suddenly."
What Gu Ning said was a direct slap to Yuan Yilin in the face. She was talking to Old Master Leng, and interrupting them was disrespectful. It also implied that Yuan Yilin interrupted her conversation with Old Master Leng, which was disrespectful.
When the people around heard this, their eyes changed instantly when they looked at Yuan Yilin. They didn't expect that Miss Sun from the Yuan family was so ignorant that she rashly interrupted someone who was talking, and that person was Old Man Leng.
Doesn't she take Mr. Leng seriously?
Although the relationship between the four major families is not friendly and open and secret struggles are common, interrupting others when they are speaking is a sign of lack of education.
Even if the four major families are not in harmony, after all, Mr. Leng is still the elder!
Moreover, Mr. Leng is the head of the Leng family and has a special status. Yuan Yilin is too arrogant! Although Mr. Leng is not a person who cares so much, even if Gu Ning and Yuan Yilin know each other, he doesn't think it's a big deal, because knowing and being friends are two different things. He will not stop Gu Ning from having contact with the Yuan family just because of the hostile relationship between the Leng family and the Yuan family.
Because he knew and believed that Gu Ning would not do anything bad to the Leng family.
However, after hearing what Gu Ning said, Mr. Leng also felt that Gu Ning and Yuan Yilin were not friendly, so the look towards Yuan Yilin became serious and gloomy, as if he was really unhappy about Yuan Yilin's plan.
Mr. Yuan's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he glared at Yuan Yilin sternly.
He didn't notice it at first, but when the girl said it, he realized, when did Yilin become so ignorant? She embarrassed him, and embarrassed him in front of Leng Weihua.
And that girl with the surname Gu was obviously doing it on purpose. Thinking of this, Old Master Yuan took his anger out on Gu Ning. However, Yuan Yilin was indeed in the wrong, so he couldn't say anything.
Yuan Yilin also realized this problem, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly. She was also shocked when her grandfather glared at her sternly.
Damn it, Gu Ning actually embarrassed her in public. If she hadn't said anything, who would have thought of it! She actually blamed Gu Ning for something she did wrong.
These grandfather and grandson are truly a family.
Gu Ning said that she felt wronged.
But after all, she is the daughter of a wealthy family, so Yuan Yilin immediately reacted: "Sorry, I was just surprised that you were here, so I forgot for a moment."
Then he looked at Grandpa Leng and apologized again: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Leng, I didn't mean it. Please don't blame me, Grandpa Leng."
Even though Yuan Yilin was extremely unhappy, she apologized with a very good attitude on the surface, not wanting to give anyone any cause for criticism.
Having said that, some people would believe that Yuan Yilin did not do it on purpose.
We are all human beings, and we all make mistakes! Besides, this is not a big deal.
"Well! It's okay. Just be careful in the future." Old Master Leng was very generous and didn't care about it anymore, and he had no intention of caring about it in the first place.
"Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future." Yuan Yilin replied.
Then, Yuan Yilin no longer said anything to Gu Ning. Even if she was dissatisfied with her, she didn't dare to show it now. Because the people here were not simple people. If she had any abnormal reaction, she would be easily discovered.
She cares a lot about her reputation, and her grandfather also cares a lot about his reputation. If she embarrasses her grandfather again, she will definitely be scolded.
But Gu Ning, she remembered that she would never let her off easily.
A darkness rose in Yuan Yilin's heart.
"Hey, girl, what's going on between you and her?" Xu Jingchen leaned towards Gu Ning and asked in a low voice.
"Suddenly one day, she came to warn me, saying that I was too arrogant and asked me to be more low-key. What would happen if I offended someone I shouldn't offend? Later, when I knew who she was, I knew why she warned me like that. It was because I had a conflict with her cousin Yuan Shuyan. But she suddenly greeted me today, and seemed so familiar with me. It was obviously a conspiracy. I guess she was so arrogant because she saw me talking to Grandpa Leng and thought I had a backer. So she wanted to deliberately pretend to have a good relationship with me to make Grandpa Leng distance himself from me! After all, the relationship between the four major families..." Gu Ning didn't continue to say anything else, but you could understand what he said as soon as you heard it.
"Tsk, if that's the case, then she's just overthinking it." Xu Jingchen said disdainfully. Gu Ning is the future granddaughter-in-law of the Leng family. How could she alienate Old Master Leng just because of Yuan Yilin's little trick? Of course, he also knew that Yuan Yilin didn't know Gu Ning's identity. If she knew, she wouldn't have done such an idiotic thing.
After a few words, the host came on stage and the people in the audience fell silent.
After the host's speech, the auction began.
Naturally, items that can be auctioned at such a large auction are not of ordinary value.
"Grandpa Leng, are you just here to take a look, or do you want to auction something?" Gu Ning asked. Because all the auction items had already been promoted a week before the auction, everyone knew what was being auctioned.
"I just came to take a look. Although the items this time are all good, there's nothing I particularly want. Mainly, at auctions like this, the prices are always too high, and it's not worth spending the money." Grandpa Leng said. Although he is not short of money, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to control himself.
"That's right." Gu Ning also thought so. The value of these antiques was hyped up, which was simply a waste of money.
She is also interested in collecting antiques, but now she is interested in buying and selling antiques. Because others spend money, she makes money.
People have different hobbies. If someone likes something, they are willing to spend money on it.
"This time, we came here mainly for the bronze chimes." Grandpa Leng said. Although they had studied the bronze chimes, they still came to see the auction process and results. Secondly, they came to support Gu Ning.
Gu Ning did not tell Mr. Leng and the others that the bronze chimes had been sold to the Imperial Palace Museum. The auction now was just a formality to launch "Xiangyunxuan".
