However, there was only a hall in the restaurant, so it was impossible for them to pretend that they didn't see it. Cao Wenxin and the others walked to the other side.
However, the result was different. The waiter led Cao Wenxin in their direction, and their eyes met. Xu Jinchen had to greet her.
"Miss Cao, what a coincidence! Why don't we dine together? "Xu Jingchen invited her like a gentleman.
Cao Wenxin gave him a glance of dislike, then declined. "No, thanks, Mr. Xu. Please enjoy your meal."
Gu Ning ignored Xin Bei's words.
After that, she followed the waiter to the front.
When Ai Xinyu saw Xin Bei, she was shocked.
After they were gone, Ai Xinyu said in surprise, "Wenxin, this is such a small world! How can you be friends with that scumbag's friend? "
Xin Bei and Xu Jingchen had good hearing, so they still heard Ai Xinyu's words even though her voice was very low. Xin Bei was displeased at once, while Xu Jingchen couldn't help laughing out loud.
When they were seated, Cao Wenxin explained to Ai Xinyu with embarrassment, "Actually, I misunderstood. It's not what we thought. The woman left him yesterday because she thought that he was useless. Now that he's successful, she came back to pester him. They're all my brother-in-law's friends, and we even shared a meal together last night. "
Although she disliked Xin Bei, she wouldn't ruin his reputation.
"What?" Ai Xinyu was surprised. "Did anything happen yesterday?"
"We just argued for a while," Cao Wenxin said.
"You! You were too impulsive and misunderstood him! "Ai Xinyu didn't know what to say to Cao Wenxin.
"Of course!" Cao Wenxin admitted that she had misunderstood Xin Bei, but it was impossible for her not to misunderstand Xin Bei.
Xu Jingchen and Xin Bei finished their meal first, then left. Before leaving, Xu Jingchen came to say goodbye to Cao Wenxin. His gentlemanly attitude left a good impression on the girls.
"This man is not only handsome, but also a gentleman. Does he have a girlfriend? If not, you can have him!" Ai Xinyu said to Cao Wenxin.
Cao Wenxin was deep in thought. No matter how she looked at it, Xu Jingchen was indeed not bad. However, she was not interested in him for the time being. Moreover, even if she called, the other party had to call her back!
It was better to let nature take its course when it came to relationships.
When Cao Wenxin and the others finished eating and paid the bill, the waiter told her that Xu Jingchen had already paid the bill.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Oh my god! Not only is this man handsome and polite, but he is also so generous. "Ai Xinyu increasingly felt that Xu Jingchen was a good man.
After finishing their meal, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went out for a walk, but they didn't go far. They only walked around the siheyuan and the moat.
They walked for a while, then arrived at Beihai Park.
"Do you want to take a boat tour on the river?" Leng Shaoting asked.
"Sure!" Gu Ning was excited.
After that, they went to rent a small pleasure boat. Except for Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning, there was only the boatman.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got into the pleasure boat and started to swim in the river.
Gu Ning sat on the edge of the boat. Suddenly, a goldfish floated out of the water. Judging from its belly, it seemed to be dying. Gu Ning took the fish and put some magical power into it. Before long, the goldfish was alive again.
Seeing that, Leng Shaoting was surprised, but he didn't say anything, nor did he make any wild guesses.
Gu Ning joked, "It's a goldfish, so it can't be eaten. If it were other fish, we could take it home and cook it."
Leng Shaoting touched Gu Ning's head with a smile. "If you want to eat fish, we can buy it later."
Gu Ning winked at him. "Aren't you allergic to seafood? Fish is seafood too! "
"I'm not allergic to fish," Leng Shaoting said.
"Sure! Let's eat fish this afternoon, "Gu Ning said with a smile.
In terms of food, Gu Ning preferred seafood, but she never mentioned eating seafood when she was with Leng Shaoting because she knew that Leng Shaoting was allergic to seafood.
After Gu Ning put the goldfish into the water, the goldfish didn't leave. Instead, it jumped around in front of Gu Ning, like it was performing for Gu Ning.
In addition, Gu Ning clearly sensed that the goldfish was looking at her with gratitude. Gu Ning was surprised, but didn't say anything.
Leng Shaoting also sensed it. He was as surprised as Gu Ning, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Ning suddenly had an idea. She decided to use her Jade Eyes to see what was inside. After that, she used her Jade Eyes to see underwater.
The water was very muddy, but it was very clear in Gu Ning's Jade Eyes. There were many fish swimming around in the water. There were also many aquatic plants, which were very dense.
After a while, when Gu Ning was about to withdraw her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning saw something red. Gu Ning fixed her eyes on it. It was a mahogany box. It was about the size of a 20-inch suitcase.
What's going on? Is there an antique in it?
Thinking of that, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see into the box. Gu Ning was right. There was indeed an antique inside!
Gu Ning recognized several of them. There was a Qing Dynasty Shexi Jade Inkstone, a Qing Dynasty Qianlong Yellow Glazed Eight Trigrams Ruyi Revolving Vase, and a Qing Dynasty Qianlong Painted Enamel Reed Goose Vase. Gu Ning only saw a few of them, but couldn't see the rest clearly.
They were all antiques from the Qing Dynasty. According to the records, they were all antiques from the imperial palace.
Gu Ning guessed that someone might have stolen them from the imperial palace, but had to throw them into the river after being discovered. After all, there was a moat next to the river, and there was an ancient imperial palace in the moat.
Gu Ning was so excited that she accidentally let her emotions show, and Leng Shaoting noticed it.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Leng Shaoting asked with curiosity.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, then realized that she was being rude, but she didn't feel guilty. Instead, she lied. "I saw two fish fighting!"
"Fighting?" Could fish fight too? Leng Shaoting didn't doubt it, but felt it was very interesting.
Although Gu Ning found an antique, she couldn't take it now. Even if she wanted to, she had to wait until tonight. However, Leng Shaoting was here, so she couldn't take it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain how she knew there were antiques under the river.
Therefore, she couldn't take it this time. She had to wait until the next time she came to the capital, when Leng Shaoting wasn't by her side.
Anyway, Gu Ning wasn't in a hurry. These antiques were at the bottom of the river and were covered by water plants. Normally, it was impossible to find them. Otherwise, this box wouldn't have been in the water for hundreds of years.
