BXBX NOVEL Chapter 425 - The Kirin Gang
“And now, let’s have a toast!” Tang Yunfan proposed.
“Yay!” Everyone raised their glasses.
They enjoyed the dinner in harmony. Even Tang Yunfan who was always quiet talked to Gu Ning once in a while, which surprised everyone around them.
Tang Haifeng wanted to bring up that Tang Yunfan could regard Gu Ning as his own daughter, but didn’t say it. It was better for them to discuss it in private. If Tang Haifeng brought it up right now and Tang Yunfan refused to do so, Gu Ning would be embarrassed.
After dinner, they were chatting casually in the front hall.
A short while later, Cao Wenxin urged Gu Ning to go hang out with her, so Gu Ning said goodbye to the others and left with her suitcase.
Tang Yunhang and his wife invited Gu Ning to stay in the Tang family’s old house for the night, but Gu Ning declined. They didn’t insist, but told her to visit them again if she had time.
After Gu Ning was gone, Tang Haifeng said to Tang Yunfan, “I think that Girl Gu is a good girl, and I like her very much, so I took her as my own granddaughter. I think that you two also got along well today. Do you have the thought to take her as your own daughter?”
“Not right now,” Tang Yunfan said. He didn’t agree, nor disagree, because he wanted to wait till he found out about Gu Ning’s life experience.
Since Tang Yunfan said so, Tang Haifeng didn’t say anything further.
Tang Jiakai drove Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning. Cao Wenxin’s car was left in the Tang family’s old house. She planned to pick it up tomorrow.
“Wenxin, where are we going now?” Gu Ning asked.
“The Earth Nightclub,” Cao Wenxin said. “It’s a high-end entertainment place with boxing, karaoke, games, a casino and so on, but I’m most interested in the boxing and games, and a boxing match will begin at 10 pm. We’ll arrive there around 9 pm, so we can play some games first.”
As for the games, Gu Ning wasn’t interested, but she would love to try the casino, because she had Jade Eyes.
“What’s the background of the Earth Nightclub? Will they revenge themselves on those who win too much? I heard that it’s evil and dirty in a casino,” Gu Ning said.
“The Earth Nightclub is run by the Kirin Gang which is one of the two most powerful gangs in this country. I haven’t heard about any revenge yet, but I know little about the details,” Cao Wenxin said.
Gu Ning didn’t trust the gang’s industries, but since she was already here, it would be a shame if she didn’t win some money.
While they were still on the way, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning. Gu Ning plugged her earphones in before she answered the call, because she didn’t want Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai to hear their conversation.
“Who is it? Do you have to be so mysterious?” Cao Wenxin teased.
Gu Ning ignored her. “Hi!”
“Ningning, what are you doing right now?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“I just finished dinner, and I’m hanging out with an older sister and brother. How about you?” Gu Ning asked.
“Do you miss me?” Leng Shaoting suddenly asked.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. It was the first time that Leng Shaoting had ever asked her that. She was, of course, missing Leng Shaoting. However, Cao Wenxin and Tang Jiakai were also in the car, so she felt shy to express her feelings in front of them.
Leng Shaoting didn’t force her to say what he wanted to hear but directly told her, “I miss you. I miss you so much.”
“I’ll be flying to the capital tomorrow to deal with something,” Gu Ning said.
“I’ll pick you up at the airport then,” Leng Shaoting said excitedly.
“Great!” Gu Ning replied.
They chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Leng Shaoting understood that it wasn’t convenient for Gu Ning to answer his call now, so he decided not to bother her.
“Ha, it must be your boyfriend! You look so in love!” Cao Wenxin said.
“Yes,” Gu Ning said.
“No way! How old are you?” Tang Jiakai couldn’t believe that Gu Ning already had a boyfriend at such
a young age.
“Gee, you already have a boyfriend at 18. Now I feel pathetic that I’m still single at 23,” Cao Wenxin said.
“Ningning, doesn’t your relationship affect your studying?” Tang Jiakai asked with concern.
“Nope,” Gu Ning said.
“Can it last? You’re so young after all?” Cao Wenxin asked with worry. She was worried that Gu Ning would be cheated on or get hurt.
“Well, you probably won’t believe me if I said yes, but I think that he’s my Mr. Right, and he has the same idea. However, if he dares to cheat on me one day, I’ll destroy him in person,” Gu Ning said easily but Tang Jiakai and Cao Wenxin were scared. Gu Ning was so good at kung fu. If the man really betrayed her, how would she destroy him?
Actually, Gu Ning couldn’t defeat Leng Shaoting in a fight yet, but her advantage was her magic power. No matter how badly she was injured, she could cure herself with her power. Although she could still die, she was confident that she could beat Leng Shaoting down before her power was completely consumed.
Meanwhile, she definitely didn’t want it to happen, but she hated betrayal the most. It wasn’t easy for her to trust Leng Shaoting during this lifetime. So if Leng Shaoting dared to betray her, she was sure that she would really destroy him.
“Ningning, you’re so awesome, and your boyfriend couldn’t be simple, right? What does he do?” Cao Wenxin asked.
“He’s awesome too, and he’s a military officer,” Gu Ning said.
“Oh, military officer!” Cao Wenxin’s eyes lit up at once. She had admired military officers ever since she was a kid, and she also wanted to join the army. Unfortunately, her family disagreed.
Cao Wenxin wanted to ask the title of Gu Ning’s boyfriend, but she didn’t say it because she thought that it wasn’t polite.
Before long, they arrived at the Earth Nightclub.
The Earth Nightclub wasn’t only large, but was also decorated luxuriously. The boxing was on the underground floor, the reception hall was on the first floor, karaoke bar was on the second and third floors, the game room was on the third and fourth floors, and the casino was on the fourth and fifth floors. There were also other types of entertainment on the floors above.
They directly walked to the game room.
On the second floor, there were various kinds of game machines, like arcade games and so forth, which amazed Gu Ning.
It was also super crowded and everyone was arguing or speaking loudly. People who came here for the first time would probably think that it was too noisy.
