Chapter 453: 453
At the left side of the yard, there was an artificial rockery with a beautiful lotus pond under it . It was winter, so there were no lotus blossoms but a school of carp was swimming around in it . Beside the lotus pond, there was a small gazebo with a rock table and four rock stools in it . When the weather turned warmer, they could relax and unwind here . On both sides of the yard, there were passages in a historical style .
Gu Ning immediately fell in love with the style .
This was just the front yard, and there was also a backyard .
They kept moving ahead, walking through the front hall to the back yard . Gu Ning’s eyes lit up again when she saw the view . The back yard was so exquisite that Gu Ning was really in love with this place .
“Do you like it?” Although Leng Shaoting already knew the answer from Gu Ning’s face, he still wanted to hear the answer from her mouth .
“Of course I do!” Gu Ning smiled with happiness .
Leng Shaoting hugged Gu Ning and said . “This place is near the Capital University . When you study we can live here . ”
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second and rejected . “No, I’m going to buy my own house . ”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was upset . “No, you’re going to live here with me . ”
“No . ”
“I don’t care . I’ll live wherever you live . ” Leng Shaoting didn’t want to argue with Gu Ning . All he wanted was to live with her . Gu Ning was amused by his childlike response, but she would make the decision when it came .
Although Leng Shaoting never stayed in this siheyuan everything that was needed was in it, and it was cleaned regularly, so they could stay here whenever they wanted .
“Ningning, do you want to rest in the room, or go grocery shopping with me?” Leng Shaoting asked .
“I’ll go with you,” Gu Ning said without hesitation .
“Great . ” Leng Shaoting then held Gu Ning’s hand and drove to the supermarket . When they entered the supermarket, people around them were all stunned by their outstanding appearance . Some women even stared at Leng Shaoting and directly ignored their own male partners . However, Leng Shaoting didn’t pay any attention to them, but instead asked Gu Ning, “What do you want to have?”
“Let’s have a look around first!” Gu Ning said . She actually had no idea what food to buy, because she wasn’t very interested in cooking .
Leng Shaoting pushed the cart while Gu Ning was looking for what she wanted . Gu Ning didn’t choose a lot of food, because there were only two of them .
After grocery shopping, Leng Shaoting told Gu Ning to rest and that he would cook .
At this time, Gu Ning received Gu Man’s call .
“Ningning! The Lantern Festival is three days away . When are you coming home?” Gu Man asked . Her daughter was busy every day in another city . She was worried, but could do nothing about it .
“I’m busy tomorrow, but I’ll be back the day after tomorrow,” Gu Ning said .
“You’re always busy, but I can’t help you with that . You must take good care of yourself . I don’t care how much money you can make, your health matters the most, alright?” Gu Man said .
“I understand . Mom, you also need to take good care of yourself,” Gu Ning said . “Oh, did the people from the Gu Family cause you trouble these past days?”
Hearing that, Gu Man was quiet for a few seconds before she said, “Gu Qinxiang called me once . His company can barely stay afloat now, so he wanted to borrow some money, but I rejected him . ”
Although Gu Qinxiang was Gu Man’s older brother, what he had done had completely broken her heart, so she would never forget the past and help him . Gu Man lived an affluent life now, so they wanted to ride on their coattails . If Gu Man was as poor as in the past, they would never remember that Gu Man was their family .
From what Gu Man knew about Gu Qinxiang, she understood that they wouldn’t respect her even though she was rich now . Instead, they would do their best to grab her wealth away or destroy her life .
“Well done! Just ignore them . ” Gu Ning supported Gu Man . After chatting with Gu Man for a few minutes, Gu Ning hung up the phone .
Within an hour and a half, five dishes were placed on the table . Leng Shaoting then called Gu Ning to dine together .
Cao Wenxin and Ai Xinyu had an appointment today . And Ai Xinyu came with another female friend, Su Tongnuo .
Su Tongnuo was very pretty and elegant . She wasn’t a famous actress, but her acting skills were quite good . However, she didn’t get many chances because she refused to accept the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry . And ever since she had annoyed a big boss, she had been directly shut out of the industry .
Su Tongnuo’s major was graphic design in her college, and she had entered the entertainment industry by coincidence . Since the company she worked for was unwilling to give her any chances now, she relied on Ai Xinyu who helped her get some jobs concerning graphic design to make a living .
Ai Xinyu’s family was relatively rich with a good amount of wealth, but didn’t have any power, so her parents weren’t able to help her get rid of the company .
When the three of them had just walked into a restaurant, they noticed a robber . Without delay, Cao Wenxin ran to catch him . Although the robber ran fast, Cao Wenxin ran faster . Within seconds, Cao Wenxin successfully caught the robber and got the handbag back . The middle-aged woman who had been robbed thanked Cao Wenxin repeatedly . And since the handbag was back, the middle-aged woman didn’t bother to call the police .
Coincidentally, Xu Jinchen and Xin Bei who were sitting by the window saw the scene . At that moment, Xin Bei changed his bad impression of Cao Wenxin .
“It’s surprising that Cao Wenxin is good at fighting!” Xu Jinchen was greatly surprised . “And she’s so brave . ”
“She is, but also too impulsive . Sometimes, she shouldn’t dash out and get involved,” Xin Bei said .
Xu Jinchen smiled, but didn’t say anything .
“They’re walking upstairs . Why don’t we invite them to dine together?” Xu Jinchen said .
“Whatever,” Xin Bei said in an unfriendly tone .
“I guess you really dislike her . It was just a misunderstanding, so why can’t you let it go?” Xu Jinchen didn’t understand why Xin Bei suddenly became so mean . Besides, Xin Bei had been talking and laughing with him just then . However, once Cao Wenxin appeared, Xin Bei looked so cold and serious . “Fine, if you don’t want to see her, I won’t invite them . Let’s just pretend that we don’t see them when they come over later . ”
Xin Bei frowned a little . He moved his lips, but didn’t say anything .
