BXBX NOVEL Chapter 169 - I’ll Pick You Up
Chapter 169 I’ll Pick You Up
Gu Ning intended to reject, but suddenly changed her mind. “I don’t mind.”
Leng Shaoting felt better then. He left the car at the same place, running to school with Gu Ning.
On the way, they didn’t talk at all. Leng Shaoting wanted to, but he had no idea what to say.
When they arrived, Leng Shaoting said, “Let’s have breakfast together!”
“Urn, I have an appointment with my friends. We’ll be having breakfast together,” Gu Ning declined on purpose.
“How about lunch? Are you free then?” Leng Shaoting invited again.
“Sorry, I need to deal with something then,” Gu Ning rejected once more. However, this time, Gu Ning truly had something important to deal with at the noon. She was going to teach those girls who had bullied Jiang Xinyue a lesson.
Leng Shaoting frowned tightly. He was disappointed, but wasn’t willing to give up. “How about this afternoon?”
Gu Ning didn’t want to see Leng Shaoting being so upset, so she felt reluctant to turn him down again. “Sure.”
Having an affirmative answer, Leng Shaoting’s eyes lit up. “What do you want to have?”
“Seafood.”
Gu Ning knew Leng Shaoting was allergic to seafood. Thus she deliberately said it.
She understood that men were hunters, and you could never let them catch you easily.
It was Leng Shaoting who had warned her that she was too young to fall in love. Now he shot himself in the foot.
Gu Ning was a normal girl with ordinary emotions. Sometimes she would test the man she liked too.
“No problem.” Leng Shaoting knew that Gu Ning did it on purpose, but he agreed. “I’ll pick you up at the end of the day.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. If my classmates find out, they will gossip. You can tell me where you are then and I’ll come to you,” Gu Ning said. However, she wasn’t actually worried about gossip at all. Instead, she planned to be late and let him wait for her.
“Oh, you’re right!” Leng Shaoting said.
“Bye-bye,” Gu Ning said to him before she ran into her school.
Leng Shaoting fixed his eyes on Gu Ning’s back until she disappeared from his sight.
“Ningning.”
Halfway there Chu Peihan called Gu Ning from behind.
Gu Ning stopped and looked back and noticed Chu Peihan wearing a meaningful smile. It seemed that Chu Peihan had witnessed Leng Shaoting and her being together.
Indeed...
“Tell me, who is that man?” Chu Peihan asked. “A friend,” Gu Ning answered.
“Oh, really? What kind of a friend is he?” Chu Peihan laid her arm on Gu Ning’s shoulder. She wouldn’t let her go unless she told her the truth.
“A normal friend,” Gu Ning couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Ha, I don’t believe it.” Chu Peihan squinted.
“Believe it or not!” Gu Ning said, like there was really nothing between Leng Shaoting and her.
“Fine, I believe you!” Since Gu Ning said they were only friends, then so be it. Chu Peihan only gossiped a little. It didn’t mean that she deemed that they were a couple.
A male and a female could be brother and sister, or friends. They didn’t have to be a couple after all. Moreover, Gu Ning and the man didn’t seem very close.
Ever since Gu Ning had found out that Situ Ye was the boss of the Qing Gang, she believed Chu Xuanfeng must be a member of the gang as well. And he seemed to be an important figure beside Situ Ye. He must be in a high position in the Qing Gang.
As for Chu Peihan, Gu Ning wasn’t sure whether she was a member of the Qing Gang too. Anyway, Gu Ning didn’t care about that. She was willing to maintain a good relationship with the Qing Gang.
Since Chu Peihan didn’t expose her real identity, she apparently didn’t want others to know it. Thus Gu Ning also kept it a secret.
“Oh, Ningning, which university is your aim?” Chu Peihan suddenly asked.
“The Capital University, how about you?” Gu Ning asked.
“I want to go to the same university as you! My older brother can help me arrange us into the same dormitory by then,” Chu Peihan was excited.
“That’s a good idea. However, I need to tell you now. I will probably only be staying in school for one or two months. I’m going to start a business and I’ll be super busy. It will be more convenient for me to live outside of the school,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t want to hide her ambition.
“What? You’re going to start a business?” Chu Peihan was amazed. She looked at Gu Ning with admiration. “Boss, you’re truly my idol now! I don’t have the ambition to run a business. I just want to live my life. Boss, if you’re successful in the future, please don’t forget me!”
Chu Peihan clasped Gu Ning’s arm, like Gu Ning was going to abandon her. Well, they were just playing with each other. Chu Peihan’s family was powerful enough. She actually didn’t need Gu Ning’s support.
“Sure, I promise I’ll take good care of you if I can be successful in the future. Then I’ll marry you into a good family,” Gu Ning teased.
“I don’t want to be married! I want to be single and free!” Chu Peihan retorted.
Gu Ning smiled. Different people had different thoughts. Chu Peihan was too young to think about that. When she was at a certain age, or met her Mr. Right, she would probably change her mind.
In City G, Zhou Zhenghong was ready to advertise in the morning.
In addition to the outside wall of their store, the advertising space was the LED display on the facade of the downtown shopping mall and the wall on the other side of the mall
It seemed like only a little, but the advertisement was persuasive.
On the LED display, it was played every 10 minutes Jade, the essence of all things, enjoys the reputation of “The Crown of Valuable Stones”. It has the good meanings of luck, wit, nobility, and fortune. “Jade Beauty Jewelry” will create high-end jade jewelry. The grand opening ceremony will be held on Saturday, December 12. Each client can have a 10% discount. You can also make a reservation for the King’s Green, the king of jade! Address: XXXXX.
The characters on the advertisement was strictly limited because it was charged by seconds.
Gu Ning didn’t mind though. People might ignore the beginning of the advertisement, but the King’s Green attracted a lot of attention. There weren’t many people who knew a lot about jade, but most of them had heard of the King’s Green.
The advertisement on the wall of the shopping mall was a five-meter-long, two-meter-wide poster. The top three English words were “The King’s Green” with a large picture of it. It was very eye-catching and attractive.
The King’s Green was their most important selling point, but they also had many more beautiful jade jewelry pieces made of medium-high-level and high-level jade.
