In fact, what Old Master Xu was most depressed about was why it wasn't Xu Jingchen who got together with Gu Ning, but Leng Shaoting!
He believed that Xu Jingchen wasn't much worse than Leng Shaoting!
Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't bear to see Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting together. It was just that Gu Ning was such a good girl that everyone wanted her.
Gu Ning was so outstanding. If he had such a granddaughter-in-law, he would be so proud.
Master Xu thought so. It wasn't that he didn't like a granddaughter-in-law who wasn't as outstanding as Gu Ning. Whether she was outstanding or not, it was fine as long as his grandson liked her. But if he had a choice, who wouldn't want an outstanding granddaughter-in-law?
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Xu, if you like anything, take one each! Treat it as a gift from me. " Since Gu Ning had taken out the "Hibiscus by Water Painting" to Master Leng in front of them, she naturally planned to give Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu an item each. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem too rude?
"How can we do that? These items are so expensive. If we like them, we can buy them ourselves. We're already very happy that you have this intention." Jiang Zhongyu immediately refused.
They were indeed very happy that Gu Ning had the intention to give them gifts, but they didn't want to take advantage of Gu Ning.
"That's right, that's right!" Master Xu echoed.
"Also, when I fell ill previously, Old Man Leng took the medicine you gave him and gave it to me. So, I should be thanking you!" Jiang Zhongyu said.
"Grandpa Jiang, you're going too far by thanking me. It's true that I gave this to Grandpa Leng, but Grandpa Leng gave it to you. So, there's no reason for you to thank me!" Gu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If Old Man Leng wants to thank me, you naturally have to thank me too." Jiang Zhongyu didn't think much of it. Without Gu Ning's medicine, he didn't know what he would have become!
"Alright! You can thank me if you want! However, you still have to choose what you want. You're Grandpa Leng's friends, so you're also my grandpa. Therefore, it's a gift from a granddaughter of mine to Grandpa Leng. It's not expensive or not. If you don't accept it, it means that you're looking down on me. "Gu Ning stopped arguing with Jiang Zhongyu about the medicine, but she still had to talk about the antique.
Gu Ning sincerely wanted to give it to them, so she hoped that they would accept it, so she provoked them on purpose.
"You …" Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu were amused by Gu Ning. They knew that Gu Ning did it on purpose. However, there were some words that couldn't be refuted even if one knew that they were intentional.
"Stop being so pretentious. Don't tell me you don't like the gift my granddaughter-in-law gave you?" Master Leng also defended Gu Ning. Although he didn't want Gu Ning to spend so much money, it was Gu Ning's kindness.
In addition, he could see Gu Ning's persistence, so he didn't want to embarrass her.
Since Master Leng also said that, and they didn't want to annoy Gu Ning, Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu had to compromise. However, they were still very happy to receive the gift.
After that, they each chose an item that they liked and thanked Gu Ning for it.
Before long, several antique collectors came. They all knew Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu, so they weren't surprised to see them.
However, when they saw Leng Weihua, they were both surprised and excited, because Leng Weihua's family background wasn't simple! It was rare to see him.
However, because of Leng Weihua's presence, they felt a little restrained.
After a short while, it was 4: 30 pm. They chose their objects and rested for a while, then Gu Ning invited them to dine together.
Gu Ning asked the old masters where they wanted to go for dinner.
The old men didn't like to eat the food in the hotel because most of the food in the hotel was fancy. It wasn't that the food wasn't delicious, but they preferred to eat home-cooked food. Therefore, they often went to private restaurants. Therefore, the group of people went to the private restaurants that the old men often went to.
This private restaurant was located in the suburbs of the capital. It was far away from the antique street, but it was quite close to their homes. In that case, Gu Ning thought it was a good idea.
It took about half an hour to 40 minutes from the antique street to the private restaurant, and it was under the condition that there was no traffic jam. Luckily, it was the peak period now, so there was almost no traffic jam.
When they arrived at the private restaurant, it should be around 5 pm. If they ordered dishes, it would take about half an hour for the dishes to be served. Therefore, it was a good time to go there now.
However, before they went there, they had to call and ask whether there were any private rooms available. Because this private restaurant was very popular, most of the customers had to make reservations in advance.
Luckily, there were private rooms available. Therefore, Gu Ning and the others set out.
Master Leng told Gu Ning to sit in his car, and another of his bodyguards drove Gu Ning. Gu Ning sat in Master Leng's car.
On the way, Master Leng chatted with Gu Ning. Because of their interaction just now, Gu Ning didn't feel nervous anymore, but she still felt a little uneasy.
No matter how strong a person's mentality was, he or she would feel uneasy in front of his or her partner's parents.
Of course, it was also because he or she cared.
About 30 minutes later, they arrived at the private restaurant. It was already past 5 pm.
This private restaurant was very large, but there weren't many private rooms. There were only about 20 private rooms. It was large, but it wasn't too crowded and noisy.
Once they arrived, they saw the boss of the private restaurant standing outside the door.
The boss of the private restaurant was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. When they got out of the car, he immediately welcomed them with enthusiasm. "Hi, Master Leng, Master Xu, Master Jiang, nice to meet you. Please come in."
Although Master Leng and the others were regular customers and never put on airs in front of him, the boss of the private restaurant would come out to welcome them in person every time, unless he wasn't in the restaurant.
"Hi, Boss Cai, how's the business today?" Master Xu asked with a smile. He sounded casual, like they were old friends.
"Thanks to you, the business is very good," Boss Cai said with a smile, then led them inside.
However, as soon as they entered, they met a familiar face. It was Master Leng's acquaintance, Shen Yanfeng.
Shen Yanfeng and his friends had just arrived for a meal. Because he had just received a call, he came out to pick them up. When he was about to go back, he saw Master Leng and the others.
When he saw Shen Yanfeng, Master Leng's kind face immediately became serious. He wanted to ignore him, but he took the initiative to greet him. "Uncle, Master Xu, Master Jiang, you're here for a meal too!"
