Although Shen Zhilin agreed with Chen Qiuyin's decision at the beginning, she didn't mind if Chen Qiuyin gave it to her. If Chen Qiuyin didn't give it to her, there was no need for her to continue.
Shen Zhilin was the kind of person who would do bad things, but also cared about her reputation. If she couldn't, she would pretend to be a good person.
Hearing that, Chen Qiuyin agreed with Shen Zhilin, so she didn't say anything more. Although she was still unwilling to accept the result, it would indeed be embarrassing if they continued to compete.
"Alright, a car is leaving over there. I'll park the car in that parking space," Shen Zhilin said, then turned around and walked to her car.
After parking the car, Chen Qiuyin and her mother walked to the restaurant where Gu Ning had gone.
After Gu Ning walked inside, she sat down by the window and ordered a steak, a fruit salad, and a glass of juice.
Right after the waiter left, Gu Ning saw Chen Qiuyin and her mother walking inside, but she pretended that she didn't see them.
When Chen Qiuyin and Shen Zhilin saw Gu Ning, Shen Zhilin didn't show any displeasure on her face, although there was a touch of sadness in her eyes. However, Chen Qiuyin showed her dislike and displeasure towards Gu Ning without hiding it, but she didn't say anything.
Coincidentally, the position where Chen Qiuyin's mother came from was just one position away from her, only about three meters away. There were already two women, one middle-aged and one young, sitting there.
"Lady Shen, Miss Shen, nice to meet you." Seeing Chen Qiuyin and her daughter arrive, the two women who were already seated at the table hurriedly stood up and greeted them politely and humbly.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Tong, Miss Tong."
Chen Qiuyin and Shen Zhilin also greeted them politely, but there was a sense of arrogance in their politeness.
"Lady Shen, Miss Shen, please have a seat," Mrs. Tong said at once. Chen Qiuyin and Shen Zhilin then sat down.
After that, Mrs. Tong called the waiter over and ordered for them.
After ordering, Chen Qiuyin took out an invitation card from her bag and handed it to Mrs. Tong. "I've got it for you."
Mrs. Tong's face lit up when she saw the invitation. She took the invitation and thanked her immediately. "Thank you, Lady Shen. Thank you so much."
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter. However, the people attending the banquet are all big shots. You guys have to be careful when the time comes. Don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble as well," Chen Qiuying warned.
Although Gu Ning didn't deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation, she was close to them and her hearing was so good that she could hear them even if she didn't want to.
So when she heard this, Gu Ning could roughly guess what was going on.
It was obvious that Mrs. Tong wanted to attend a banquet, but the guests were all important figures, so she begged Chen Qiuyin to get an invitation card for her.
Most of the people who had deliberately participated in this banquet were trying to climb up the social ladder.
The reason why Mrs. Tong and her daughter attended this banquet was that they hoped that Miss Tong could meet a rich second-generation heir at this banquet and become a rich second-generation heir.
In fact, the Tong family wasn't bad either. It was at least a small super-rich family with over a hundred million yuan in wealth. Otherwise, she wouldn't have met Chen Qiuyin. However, everyone had ambition. Although the Tong family wasn't bad, they still wanted to be better.
"Sure, sure, we'll be careful," Mrs. Tong said at once. Even if Chen Qiuyin didn't remind her, she didn't dare to annoy anyone. It was a banquet of high society, and they couldn't afford to offend any of the guests.
"Oh, Miss Shen, when will you hold the wedding ceremony with Family Leng? I want to attend their wedding banquet! "Mrs. Tong asked.
Hearing that, Chen Qiuyin and Shen Zhilin were a little embarrassed. However, Mrs. Tong and her daughter didn't notice it.
Gu Ning, who was sitting next to them, was struck dumb for a second.
Family Leng? Was it Leng Shaoting's family?
Gu Ning didn't mean it, because Leng Shaoting's family wasn't the only family with the surname Leng in the capital.
Before Chen Qiuyin could say anything, Mrs. Tong continued with admiration. "Miss Shen, you're so lucky! Family Leng's son, Lord Sun, is a very handsome man. He's so young, but he's already a major general. "
However, Gu Ning was displeased when she heard that.
Family Leng's son, Lord Sun, was a very handsome man. He was already a major general at such a young age? Wasn't she talking about Leng Shaoting?
The people sitting next to Chen Qiuyin and her daughter also heard that. They were all shocked and turned around to look at them.
Although they didn't know that Family Leng's son was Lord Sun, they knew that a major general was a military rank, so they were very surprised and admired Gu Ning.
The woman in front of them was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend?
Since Mrs. Tong said that they were going to hold a wedding party, everyone believed that Shen Zhilin was Leng Shaoting's girlfriend.
If Mrs. Tong had said that before, Chen Qiuyin would have been very proud, but now …
"Haha! Yes! Well, Shao Shaoting is too busy right now, and he doesn't have time to talk about love affairs, "Chen Qiuyin said. Although she felt a little guilty, she pretended to be calm on the surface.
In the past, she used to think that the Shen family and Family Leng were relatives, and Shen Zhilin liked Leng Shaoting, so they would be together. She had always been proud of it, so she often showed it off in front of her friends.
Most importantly, Master Leng had the intention to make it happen in the beginning, so Gu Ning was confident that she would be able to marry Leng Shaoting.
However, Leng Shaoting had a girlfriend later.
In that case, Shen Zhilin lost all hope.
"You're right. I heard that soldiers are very busy, especially soldiers with such high positions." Mrs. Tong didn't suspect anything because it was true that the Shen family and the Leng family were relatives, so she agreed.
Gu Ning, however, sneered with disdain.
She didn't think that Leng Shaoting had a romantic relationship with Miss Shen. They were just acquaintances at most. It was impossible for them to have a romantic relationship with Leng Shaoting. It must be Gu Ning's imagination.
Because Gu Ning was facing Chen Qiuyin and her mother, she saw their uneasy expressions, which meant that Gu Ning was lying.
However, Gu Ning was displeased that someone else thought that her man was Leng Shaoting, so she stood up and walked to them.
Seeing Gu Ning walking over, Chen Qiuyin snapped at her. "What are you doing here?"
"I just want to know if Lord Leng is Lord Leng, the eldest grandson of the Leng family, one of the four most powerful families in the capital," Gu Ning said. She didn't show any hostility, but was just curious.
