Chapter 1139 Gu Ning Meets the Baili Family
Master Leng understood that Gu Ning was very considerate, so he directly picked a restaurant.
They all loved a restaurant with a good environment, so they would meet in a nearby mountain villa not far from the Leng family’s house. It was still early, so they agreed to meet there at 6 pm that night.
For now, Gu Ning planned to go to the headquarters of Shengning Organization.
…
When Zi Beiying boarded, she sent Gu Ning, Xu Jinchen, and Xu Qinyin a message.
Gu Ning and Xu Qinyin soon sent her a message back, but Xu Jinchen stared at her message for a long time in silence.
The plane soon took off, and Zi Beiying had to turn her phone off.She didn’t see Xu Jinchen’s reply before she turned her phone off, and felt a little disappointed.
When Zi Beiying already turned her phone off, Xu Jinchen finally sent her a message back.
Xu Jinchen: Safe travel. Tell me when you arrive.
…
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left for the mountain villa at 4:30 pm.
Although it only took them half an hour to get there, they were the younger generation so they should be there earlier to show their respect for the older generation.
It was only a little past 5 pm when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived, so they went to have a walk in the yard. They had already booked a private room.
The name of this mountain villa was Phoenix Villa, and it consisted of buildings in a traditional style with a large grassland and countless trees and flowers.
The founder of this restaurant must be very rich because it was very big and had a beautiful view.
Other than for its view, it was also famous for its delicious food.
People who dined here were all members of high society because everything was expensive in Phoenix Villa. Normally, a simple meal cost dozens of thousands of yuan, and ordinary people could barely afford it.
After walking for a while, Gu Ning suddenly stopped because she smelt something special which belonged to cultivators. She turned to look around.
In a private room, an old man and a 17-year-old girl sat across from each other, and they were cultivators.
Gu Ning knew cultivator had acute senses, so she immediately withdrew her look.
There was a swing about five meters away from the private room, and Gu Ning was curious to know what they were talking about, so she said to Leng Shaoting, “Shaoting, why don’t we have a rest on the swing?”
Gu Ning decided not to tell Leng Shaoting what she had found for the time being.
“Sure,” Leng Shaoting said, and they walked to the swing together.
Gu Ning sat on the swing without delay, and Leng Shaoting gently pushed her.
The swing started to move, but Gu Ning carefully listened to the sounds in the private room.
There was a short distance between them, so Gu Ning was able to hear their conversation clearly.
“Zongxue, I already found out that the owner of Colorful Jade Provider is a girl named Gu Ning. She’s studying in high school now and will attend the National College Entrance Examination this year. I don’t know which university she wants to study in, but I can send you to her school first. You need to seize every chance to make friends with her. Once you can become good friends with her, it’ll be much easier for us to buy jade from her,” the old man said with a serious face.
Knowing that, Gu Ning was greatly surprised. She didn’t expect that cultivators were interested in her too.
“Sure, grandpa,” Baili Zongxue said.
Baili Zongxue was the eldest lady from the Baili family, which was the leading family of the four most powerful families in the cultivation world.
The old man was the head of the Baili family, Baili Qifeng.
When Baili Qifeng heard that Colorful Jade Provider could provide high quality jade but limited the amount, he was curious and had an idea. He planned to let Baili Zongxue, who was the same age as Gu Ning, make friends with her.
They simply wanted more high quality jade, and had no intention to scheme against Gu Ning. In addition, they would pay for the jade.
Baili Zongxue was younger than Gu Ning, so she had to jump to the 12th grade in order to be friends with Gu Ning.
Actually, it was already settled, and Baili Qifeng invited the person who did them that favor to dine together in order to thank the person.
Baili Zongxue was very good at studying, so it wasn’t difficult for her to jump to the 12th grade. Only offspring of the powerful families in the cultivation world could study in the normal people’s world.
In the following minutes, Baili Qifeng randomly chatted with Baili Zongxue.
Gu Ning soon felt bored, and went to their private room with Leng Shaoting later.
…
It was almost 5:30 pm now, and Master Leng along with his old friends would arrive soon.
About five minutes later, Master Leng and Leng Shaoxun came.
When Leng Shaoxun found out that his grandfather was going to dine with Gu Ning, he insisted on going with his grandfather.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting immediately stood up to welcome Master Leng when he arrived.
