949 Keep the Promise

“Great.” Tang Yunfan was satisfied. However, when he turned to look at Qiu Lili, he was mad again. “Miss Qiu, shouldn’t you apologize to my daughter if you knocked into her? If you still refuse to do so, I think that I should talk about it with your father someday.”

“I…” Qiu Lili panicked. “Miss Tang, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me this time!” She apologized to Gu Ning at once.

Qiu Lili wasn’t afraid of her father, but was afraid of Tang Yunfan. Since this girl was Tang Yunfan’s daughter, she had to do whatever Gu Ning demanded. Even though she was reluctant to do so, she didn’t dare to show her real feelings on her face.

“Fine.” Gu Ning didn’t bother to punish her.

“Thank you so much, Miss Tang!” Qiu Lili said.

Gu Ning didn’t mind her calling her Miss Tang or Miss Gu. She could be Miss Tang and Miss Gu at the same time after all.

“Miss Qiu, I’m afraid that you’re not welcome here anymore. Please don’t enter here again,” Tang Yunfan said. Although he sounded polite, he looked very serious.

Hearing that, Qiu Lili was disappointed. If she couldn’t come here again, she wouldn’t have chances to meet Qin Guanming. Qin Guanming seldom went back to his family’s house now, and it was difficult for her to visit him at his home.

She bit her lip and looked at Qin Guanming. She hoped that he could say something for her, but Qin Guanming avoided her eyes.

Qiu Lili was in despair now, and had to leave alone.

After that, Gu Ning followed Tang Yunfan upstairs.

Since they were gone, other staff members started to discuss what had just happened.

“Do you think Miss Tang is Chairman Tang’s biological daughter or adopted daughter?”

“I think she’s Chairman Tang’s biological daughter given their similar features.”

“If so, why have we heard nothing about her in the past?”

“Maybe Chairman Tang didn’t know about it until now.”

“Really? Is it possible that this girl’s mother secretly gave birth to her in order to marry into the Tang family?”

“I think it’s possible!”

“I don’t think so. The girl is around 18, and I heard that something terrible happened to the Tang family 19 years ago. Chairman Tang has been missing for a year and lost his memory. I think the girl could be his child with the woman he was in love with back then.”

What had happened to Tang Yunfan wasn’t a secret in his business.

Within seconds, people started to feel sympathetic towards Gu Ning and her mother. It must have been a very tough time for them.

…

Gu Ning mentioned the security guard to Tang Yunfan in the elevator. She suggested that they raise his salary given his upright and brave behavior. If Tang Yunfan disagreed, she would like to hire him.

Tang Yunfan then asked Gu Ning for her opinion.

The security guard was a rare upright man with excellent fighting skills. Tang Yunfan thought that he would be able to protect Gu Ning well if he worked for her.

Gu Ning chose to keep him in the Tanghuang Group, because Tanghuang was a well-known and successful corporation, and the security guard might have a brighter future if he stayed here.

Although Gu Ning was confident that her company would become one of the top companies in the future too, the security guard probably didn’t think so.

Since Gu Ning said that, Tang Yunfan agreed to promote the security guard and raise his salary.

After picking up what she needed, Gu Ning left.

Tang Yunfan wanted to dine with her a while later, but Gu Ning said that she would go back to the Tang family’s house for lunch, and that she had to pick her relatives up at the airport at 2 pm.

Gu Ning went downstairs in Tang Yunfan’s exclusive elevator, which aroused everyone’s curiosity again.

At the same time, Tang Jiayang walked in from outside.

Once he appeared, people paid special attention to his attitude towards Gu Ning.

Tang Yunfan was the chairman of the Tanghuang Group. If he didn’t have children, Tang Jiayang or Tang Jiakai would take over, but his biological daughter showed up now. What would they do?

Tang Jiayang and Tang Jiakai lost the chance to take over such a profitable business. Would they be jealous of Gu Ning?

In fact, Tang Jiayang had no intention to take over the Tanghuang Group at all, because the Tang family valued family relationships above anything else. Both Tang Jiakai and Tang Jiayang were happy to see Gu Ning.

If it hadn’t been for Gu Ning, their grandfather could have been killed.

They were more than willing to see Gu Ning join their family.
