Chapter 50
However, after a few rounds, Chu Peihan apparently wasn’t able to continue . She lost in 10 moves .
Although she had lost, Chu Peihan didn’t feel disappointed . Instead, she was more excited .
If Gu Ning couldn’t defeat her easily, it would be wrong to regard Gu Ning as her boss . Chu Peihan was happy that she had chosen the right person .
At the same time, Chu Peihan had an idea . “Gu Ning, I’m so eager to know who is better between you and my older brother . Could you have a try with my older brother some day?”
“Sure!” Gu Ning agreed . She also wanted to have a try with someone who was as powerful as herself .
Chu Peihan’s older brother must be someone .
Having Gu Ning’s permission, Chu Peihan was looking forward to it even more, but her older brother wasn’t in City F now . He would be back after a week .
In the following training, Chu Peihan surprisingly found out that Gu Ning was very professional, just like her older brother .
Meanwhile, she was more curious about Gu Ning . Was she really born in a poor single-parent family?
Although she was curious, she had no intention to investigate Gu Ning, which would be disrespectful .
Chu Peihan didn’t care what secret Gu Ning had . She still believed that she had made a good friend .
In the evening class, a boy stopped Gu Ning when she was on her way back to the classroom .
He was around 1 . 8 meters tall and kind of good-looking, but wore a serious face .
Nonetheless, Gu Ning knew he was using a serious look to cover his nervousness . He wasn’t here for trouble .
But, Gu Ning felt confused . What was he doing here?
The students, who sat under windows beside the passage, all looked over . They thought someone was here to cause Gu Ning trouble again . Shao Feifei and her friends were excited to see that .
However, what happened next made their jaws drop .
“Gu Ning, I like you . Would you like to go on a date with me?” the boy asked .
Hearing that, Gu Ning was struck dumb . She didn’t expect the boy would say that he liked her .
The crowd were all in shock .
What? He liked her? Not for trouble?
“Sorry,” Gu Ning rejected .
She didn’t want to date now, and the boy wasn’t her type either .
Besides, Gu Ning was a 25-year-old mature woman mentally . She wasn’t interested in teenage boys .
“Why?” the boy immediately inquired .
“No specific reason,” Gu Ning replied .
The boy didn’t know what to say all of a sudden . After a second, he said, “Well, can we be friends then?”
“If we get along well, we’ll be friends naturally, but for now, we’re merely strangers . It’s too early to say we’re friends . ” Gu Ning didn’t reject, nor accept .
The boy believed he still had hope, and was happy . “Gu Ning, it’s so nice to meet you . I’m An Yi from the sixth classroom . It’s me who is being rude . I’m sorry, but I’ll work hard to gain your approval!” An Yi said with sincerity .
The bell rang at that time and the evening class began . An Yi said good-bye to Gu Ning, then left .
Gu Ning and Yu Mixi walked into their classroom at once .
The minute Gu Ning stepped in, Shao Feifei’s sight followed her all the way .
Although she was terrified by Gu Ning and Hao Ran yesterday, she remained jealous as usual .
It was hard for Shao Feifei to understand why Gu Ning had so many admirers . In her eyes, Gu Ning was just a little prettier than ordinary people, and wasn’t a gorgeous beauty . Gu Ning was also from a poor family, and not good at studying either .
But Mu Ke, the boy that Shao Feifei liked, called Gu Ning his boss . How could he do that!
Shao Feifei’s blood was boiling .
She had to think of some way to beat Gu Ning .
Those hoodlums had failed last time . Shao Feifei wouldn’t make the same mistake twice .
As for Gu Ning, she was used to Shao Feifei’s unkind looks, and couldn’t care less about it .
After the evening class, Gu Ning went straight to the hospital .
She ran for about half an hour to get there .
At that time, there were few people in the hospital yard . It was quiet and a little ghastly .
When Gu Ning got to the patient room, Gu Man told Gu Ning that Gu Qing had visited her today .
Gu Man also told Gu Ning the reason why Gu Qing had come . She looked at Gu Ning with great care . She was worried Gu Ning would be sad .
“The old lady is so cruel!” Gu Ning sneered . She was mad, but not sad at all .
Her anger wasn’t from the old lady’s cruelty to her, but to Gu Man . Gu Man was the old lady’s biological daughter after all .
Gu Ning always knew her grandmother liked sons over daughters, but she didn’t expect the old lady would be so cold-blooded .
And Gu Xiaoxiao was behind all of this .
Gu Man signed resignedly . She was hurt deeper than Gu Ning .
Even though Gu Ning had made mistakes, Gu Man would be mad or heart-broken, she would never hate her daughter, or even treat her badly . Gu Man would cherish her daughter more .
Because…
Gu Man looked at Gu Ning, then gradually became absent-minded . She seemed sad and as if she was missing someone . Gu Ning knew Gu Man must be missing Gu Ning’s biological father .
Was the resemblance that great?
There was no hatred in Gu Man’s eyes . Obviously, she was still in love with him .
Gu Ning was suddenly curious about her father .
“Mom, could you tell me something about my father?” Gu Ning asked .
Gu Man was a little hesitated at first, then calmed down gradually .
Ningning was 18 now . She couldn’t keep it a secret from herself forever . She also didn’t want Ningning to hate her biological father because of a misunderstanding .
After a while, Gu Man opened her mouth . “Your father was a handsome man . He was tall, strong, smart and talented, but he lost his memory back then, and he didn’t even know who he was . I called him Ning afterwards . I’d saved his life by accident . He was injured then . After that, we fell in love and stayed together . Your father was sophisticated . He became a supervisor after half a year in a company, then was promoted to be a manager of the planning department . However, an accident happened when he was on a business trip . The bus fell into the river . There were 23 people in the bus . Only five survived . 12 bodies were found . Six were missing, your father included . ”
Missing amounted to death .
