"Um! Your friend? Isn't she Shao Ting's girlfriend? " Hearing Gu Ning's introduction, Master Xu was upset. He thought that his grandson had finally found a girlfriend, but Gu Ning told him that she was her friend. His good mood was ruined in an instant.
Hearing that, Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying felt embarrassed, while Master Leng and Jiang Zhongyu were speechless. Who said that two men could be a couple when they stood together?
Master Xu must be crazy about his granddaughter-in-law!
Fine! He was indeed crazy about his granddaughter-in-law, because Master Leng always showed off Gu Ning.
Gu Ning also felt amused. She asked with amusement, "Grandpa Xu, do you want her to be Chengyu's girlfriend?"
"Of course! He's not a young boy anymore. Shouldn't he have a girlfriend? Shao Ting has had a girlfriend for a long time. Now that there's a girl by his side, I thought that he was enlightened and had a girlfriend, but … "Master Xu said. He was very disappointed and even a little sad.
"Ha-ha." Hearing that, Gu Ning couldn't help laughing. "If Grandpa Xu wants her to be his girlfriend, please tell Chengyu to work harder."
Gu Ning's words also revealed their relationship. Although they weren't a couple yet, there was a chance for them to be together.
In that case, Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying felt even more embarrassed.
Master Xu's eyes lit up, then he said to Xu Jingchen seriously, "You need to work harder. If you can't settle your business this year, I'll teach you a lesson."
After that, he looked at Zi Beiying with a kind face. "Miss, actually, Jing Chen is not bad. He may not know how to say sweet nothings, but he's handsome and capable. Most importantly, the Xu family is very loyal. You should think about it carefully."
Master Xu's words made Zi Beiying feel shy and at a loss. She didn't know how to respond, so she looked to Gu Ning for help, hoping that Gu Ning could help her.
"Grandpa, you …" Xu Jingchen didn't know what to say either. He didn't want to deny his relationship with Zi Beiying. Although they weren't in a relationship yet, it was only a matter of time.
However, they weren't in a relationship yet, so it wasn't appropriate for him to admit it. He was afraid that Zi Beiying would be mad.
"Grandpa Xu, please don't say that. She's shy. Let me show her to a seat," said Gu Ning, then pulled Zi Beiying over.
"Fine! Fine! " Master Xu knew that he had gone overboard, so he stopped talking. However, he glanced at Zi Beiying from time to time. The more they talked, the more satisfied he was. Zi Beiying kept feeling uncomfortable.
Rong Zechen, who was sitting in the first row, saw that Gu Ning was acquainted with Xu Jingchen. He had mixed feelings. He wondered if she knew Xu Jingchen as well as the old masters. Could it be that he knew their family members as well?
Rong Zechen guessed correctly. It was just that she didn't know all of their families.
There were still ten minutes before the auction started. Most of the people had already arrived, except for a few who hadn't.
In the hall, Gu Ning saw Harada Honichi, the musical instrument expert from Country R's Capital XX Music Hall. He was sitting in the fifth row. When Gu Ning saw him, she didn't show it on the surface, but she felt a chill in her heart.
The person with Harada Honichi, no, the person with Harada Honichi was a middle-aged man. This man was the mastermind behind Harada Honichi's kidnapping of Chen Darong.
This man was called Zhang Chengtao. He was the chairman of a corporation with a net worth of five billion. His brother-in-law was the deputy director of a bureau. Therefore, he was quite influential in the capital.
Gu Ning decided to teach Harada Honichi a lesson. Naturally, she wouldn't leave Zhang Chengtao out. He wasn't the mastermind, but he was an accomplice.
Alright, she would deal with this later.
Other than Harada Honichi, there were also a few foreigners.
The auction didn't prohibit foreigners from entering, but they weren't qualified to auction. Only their countrymen were qualified to auction.
Of course, this didn't prevent them from asking their countrymen to help them auction. Sometimes, this kind of thing was unavoidable.
However, this time, they were all here for the bronze chimes. Since the bronze chimes already had an owner, they were destined to return disappointed.
Five minutes before the auction started, the Yuan Family arrived. They were Old Master Yuan and his granddaughter, Yuan Yilin.
When Yuan Yilin saw Gu Ning, she was very surprised. She didn't expect Gu Ning to be here too.
Moreover, she was even prettier and more elegant than usual. This made Yuan Yilin jealous.
Moreover, she was sitting in the second row. Beside her were Family Leng, Old Master Xu, and Old Master Jiang.
Gu Ning was even talking to Family Leng as if they were very close.
What was going on? How did Gu Ning know Family Leng?
Also, Xu Jingchen was sitting at the same table as Gu Ning.
She had underestimated Gu Ning. She didn't know that she knew these people! It was no wonder that she was so arrogant!
However, she didn't think that Gu Ning was really close to Family Leng and the others. Gu Ning was just a young girl. How could they really take a liking to her? At most, they thought that Gu Ning was young and had some skills. Out of admiration, they only said a few words to her.
Since Yuan Yilin didn't see how Master Leng and the others treated her, it was understandable for her to think that way. After all, friendship between generations didn't exist for many people. Only people of similar age could become friends.
Suddenly, Yuan Yilin thought of something. A scheming look flashed across her eyes. Then, she immediately smiled gently and greeted Gu Ning. "Junior Gu, what a coincidence! You're here too! "
It was unusual for Gu Ning to take the initiative to greet her with such a gentle smile. Therefore, Gu Ning felt that there was a conspiracy behind it.
She didn't think that Yuan Yilin saw her talking with Master Leng and knew that she knew a big shot, so she wanted to mend her relationship with her.
Yuan Yilin was a member of the Yuan family. The Yuan family and Family Leng were enemies, so Yuan Yilin didn't need to be afraid of Family Leng. She also didn't need to leave a good impression on Master Leng.
Therefore, Yuan Yilin had no reason to mend her relationship with her just because of Master Leng.
The only possibility was that Yuan Yilin pretended to be close to her on purpose so that Master Leng would distance himself from her.
Why is that?
