After that, Situ Ye came. Because he planned to avoid the public as well, he drove his car to a corner.
He came secretly, so he came with only two men. Because there was no car next to Qi Tianlin, Situ Ye stopped his car by Qi Tianlin’s car once he arrived.
Qi Tianlin had Yu Hao and another henchman with him, leaving Cheng Hua in the gang to help him deal with some things. Chu Xuanfeng and another henchman came with Situ Ye.
Chu Xuanfeng stayed with Situ Ye most of the time because Situ Ye trusted him more than anyone else. Actually, Chu Xuanfeng had something else to deal with today, but Situ Ye thought that Chu Xuanfeng hadn’t seen Chu Peihan for a long time either, so he arranged for someone else to deal with the things for Chu Xuanfeng, then brought him here.
Chu Xuanfeng didn’t tell Chu Peihan that he would come because he planned to surprise her. It wasn’t the time yet, but he would go to see Chu Peihan after the news conference was over.
Because the window of Qi Tianlin’s car was open, he saw Situ Ye once Situ Ye’s car stopped next to him. “Hi, Qi,” Situ Ye greeted Qi Tianlin.
Although their relationship wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad either. They normally stayed in their own lanes, but they would exchange greetings if they met.
Anyway, he was surprised that Qi Tianlin would come, but he came as well, so it wasn’t strange.
Seeing Situ Ye, Qi Tianlin was displeased and said sarcastically, “Well, surprised to see you, Situ. It seems you have a special relationship with Gu Ning.”
He was aware of Situ Ye’s special relationship with Gu Ning, so he became sarcastic from annoyance.
In the meanwhile, Qi Tianlin deliberately put pressure on Situ Ye.
Situ Ye was milder than Qi Tianlin, but he was the head of an illegal gang after all, so he wasn’t weak at all and was trying to make Qi Tianlin feel stressed too.
The two equally strong men ran into each other.
However, people by their side couldn’t bear the great pressure, so they found it hard to breathe in the car.
“Qi, since you came here as well, don’t you have a special relationship with Gu Ning?” Situ Ye seemed calmer than Qi Tianlin.
“Of course I do,” said Qi Tianlin with pride as if he was telling the truth.
Situ Ye said nothing further because he clearly knew that they could only be friends. Even if Qi Tianlin admired Gu Ning, he could never win her heart because Gu Ning already had Leng Shaoting.
In fact, he was in the same situation, so he didn’t laugh at Qi Tianlin. If he laughed at Qi Tianlin, he would be making fun of himself.
Situ Ye turned to look at Gu Ning afterwards. Staring at Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, he felt they were indeed a perfect couple.
Neither of them said anything, so they stopped putting pressure on each other.
Because Leng Shaoting glanced at them once in a while, he saw Situ Ye when Situ Ye showed up.
He was already displeased when Qi Tianlin showed up and felt even unhappier after Situ Ye came.
Gu Ning felt Leng Shaoting’s emotional change, so she turned and saw Situ Ye.
To be honest, Gu Ning was very surprised by Situ Ye’s appearance because Situ Ye’s domain was far from the capital.
Anyway, she felt slightly moved when they came in person. Because of their special background, they knew they shouldn’t come, but they still did and watched her quietly from the side.
She knew they admired her, but she had no special feelings for them. However, they could still be friends.
Because Gu Ning couldn’t welcome Situ Ye, she only gave him a nod with a smile.
They couldn’t exchange greetings, but it didn’t mean that she would ignore them. She decided to buy them a meal separately later.
Qi Tianlin, however, was displeased seeing Gu Ning give Situ Ye a smile when she nodded at him, because he felt he was treated unfairly. He focused on Gu Ning but Gu Ning already withdrew her sight and ignored him. He was mad, but couldn’t go over and question her.
“Situ Ye, since neither of us can attend the conference, why don’t we share some tea together? We can invite Gu Ning to have a meal after she’s done,” said Qi Tianlin. He was unwilling to stay here any longer and watch Gu Ning paying more attention to Situ Ye than him.
Gu Ning only gave Situ Ye a quick glance. She wasn’t paying more attention to Situ Ye than Qi Tianlin at all, but Qi Tianlin got jealous because she smiled at Situ Ye when she nodded at him.
“Sure.” Situ Ye didn’t know what Qi Tianlin was really thinking, but he had that idea as well, so he agreed as soon as Qi Tianlin proposed that. Therefore, they told their chauffeurs to drive to a nearby clubhouse.
Because there were mostly office buildings, hotels, and clubhouses in the area where Gu Ning’s company was located, they easily found the place they wanted.
When they left, both of them sent Gu Ning a message telling her that they would go to have a seat somewhere else. They could meet after she was done.
Gu Ning had the same idea, so she agreed.
When Situ Ye sent Gu Ning the message, he told her to come with Chu Peihan and told her to keep it a secret that Chu Xuanfeng was also here because Chu Xuanfeng wanted to surprise Chu Peihan.
Gu Ning agreed, so she didn’t tell Chu Peihan.
When it was nearly 10 am, Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu came together, which shocked everyone before they got their senses back from the last sensation.
“Ha-ha, ha-ha, Ningning, congratulations!”
As soon as Master Xu and Jiang Zhongyu came, they greeted Gu Ning familiarly and congratulated her.
“Hi, Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Jiang, thanks!” Gu Ning smiled and replied to them.
“Wow, Master Xu came in person as well.”
“Yeah, it seems that Gu Ning’s relationship with the Xu family isn’t common either.”
“When Lord Xu came on behalf of the Xu family just now, it was enough to prove their relationship isn’t common.”
“Right.”
All the people who should come were mostly present. Governor Xiao, who was far away in Province G, Master Fu, and other people couldn’t afford a long journey, so they only sent people to congratulate Gu Ning with gifts.
Most people weren’t familiar with Master Fu and the other names, but they noticed the flower basket sent by Governor Xiao and were amazed.
