Jun Ning was stunned for a moment.

If it really happens as Mr. Gu said, with a wedding banquet to recognize the relatives and an engagement to become the goddaughter, it would be very formal. Not only can she be included in the Gu family tree, but when Mr. Gu passes away in the future, she, the goddaughter, will also be able to share in the inheritance.

He is quite sincere.

However, Jun Ning didn't quite understand why Mr. Gu did this? Did he really like her? Or was it the charm of the spirit wine? Although Mr. Gu's recognition of her as a relative was partly due to the magic of the spirit wine, Mr. Gu did have a very good impression of Jun Ning.

He has traveled to various countries in his life and even won the title of one of the world's top shipping kings. He has dealt with all kinds of people.

The old man's sharp eyes that see through everything in the world are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

He can tell who is good and who is bad from their every move.

In just a short while, he saw many good qualities in this girl Jun Ning.

The first advantage is that she is beautiful, has clear eyes and a friendly smile, which makes people feel good about her as soon as they see her.

The second advantage is respecting the elderly, being generous and tolerant.

This old man came to her and asked for wine, but not only did she not scold him, she also let him sit down and drink.

The third advantage is being calm and composed, not being surprised by honors and favors, being neither humble nor arrogant, and having a broad mind.

Just now, his eldest son Gu Qiankun came over, expressed his apologies and gratitude to her, and even gave her his personal business card, which he rarely gave to others, and promised to help her.

But this girl knew the identity of his eldest son, but she remained calm and thanked him calmly, without any intention of fawning or surrendering in her eyes.

From this we can see that this girl is very confident and has pride in her bones.

She doesn't need to rely on others at all, she can live a good life on her own, and she will even be able to create a great career soon.

Mr. Gu is very optimistic about her.

Although Jun Ning now said that she and her cousin had just arrived in Hong Kong and had not achieved much yet.

Mr. Gu was just thinking of giving her some help before she set sail, so that she could form a friendly relationship of mutual assistance, mutual benefit and win-win with the Gu family in the future.

As for what kind of relationship the two sides would develop as they get along, Mr. Gu didn't think much about it.

He is an old man with a clear vision and a keen mind. He has experienced a lot of things in the world and knows more and more clearly that for a smart girl like Jun Ning who also has a clear mind, they can only treat her with sincerity, and only then will she open her heart and accept them sincerely.

After Jun Ning thought about all the possibilities that Mr. Gu might want to recognize her as her own, she asked him with a teasing smile, "Grandpa, do you want to recognize me as your granddaughter just because you want to keep drinking this fine wine?"

"If that's the reason, then there's no need, because in a few days, I will open a super mall and all these fine wines will be on sale."

Old Master Gu pretended to be angry. "Don't talk nonsense, kid. If it was just for this bottle of wine, I wouldn't have bothered to get close to you. Although I like wine, there are some bottom lines that cannot be broken."

"I am willing to accept you as my granddaughter, of course, because of you. I like your transparent and intelligent temperament."

At the end, Mr. Gu looked at her eagerly, "Xiao Ningning, just tell me whether you are willing or not?"

Jun Ning thought for a moment and said, "As long as you don't dislike me, I will definitely agree. But, for this matter, I think it would be better to do it later."

"After all, you and I have just met and don't know each other very well. I am afraid that people will think that I have some ulterior motives towards you."

"So, I think I should just treat you as a friend regardless of age difference first, and we can talk about the recognition of relatives later. What do you think?"

She said this after much consideration.

She thought there was no problem with Mr. Gu adopting her as his granddaughter.

From what she had learned from historical materials, the Gu family had always been low-key and wealthy. The Gu family and the equally low-key Huo family were both patriotic families.

In addition, the Gu family has a very good family tradition. Almost all of the younger generations are elites, and there has never been a single playboy.

And the most important point is that no matter how the world changes, the Gu family has been passed down safely to the end of the world, and has always carried forward the Gu family's style of being unpretentious, low-key and wealthy.

But she felt that it was not normal for them to recognize each other as relatives after just meeting for the first time, regardless of what others thought.

Although, recognizing Mr. Gu as her godfather would definitely be very beneficial to her development in Hong Kong City.

But she was unwilling to give up her pride and dignity and be pointed at and insulted by others just for such a small advantage.

After hearing her words, Mr. Gu immediately understood what she meant.

The old man looked at Jun Ning with some helplessness but full of appreciation, and gave her a thumbs up, "Little Ningning, you are still very thoughtful and detailed. Okay, let's do as you said. Let's get along like relatives and friends first, and we can talk about the recognition of relatives later."

He finally emphasized: "However, this matter cannot be delayed for too long, no more than three months."

Jun Ning smiled, "Okay, wait until the three months are up, and I'll follow your arrangements."

Mr. Gu asked Jun Ning where he lived now. Jun Ning also told him honestly, "My cousin just bought four buildings, one of which is an 18-story building on Queen's Road. I am planning to build a super mall below and renovate it into a big hotel above. When the time comes, my cousin and I will each keep a presidential suite. For now, we will just live in the newly bought building."

Mr. Gu immediately invited her, "Xiao Ningning, why don't you and your cousin come home with me? I have plenty of rooms at home, you can stay as long as you want."

Jun Ning shook his head. "No, old man. My cousin and I are new here and we have a lot to do. If we live in your house, we will have to trouble you all day long. We can't do that. Your kindness is appreciated."

Mr. Gu also told Jun Ning his home address and phone number, and asked her to visit the Gu family when she was free.

The old man even threatened her deliberately that if he didn't see her come within a week, he would come and invite her in person.

Jun Ning smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll come and bother you guys after I'm done with these few days."
