Chapter 545 - You Mother Looks So Young!
Tang Yunhang helped Gu Ning and Gu Man to carry the suitcases into the house before he left. After that, Gu Ning tidied a room up for Gu Man, which was a little distance from hers with a study and a guest room in the middle.
Gu Ning did it on purpose, because Leng Shaoting was going to visit her in the night. Gu Man’s bedroom was only a little smaller than the master bedroom, and it was also equipped with a walk-in closet.
When Gu Ning was tidying the room up for Gu Man, she sent a message to Leng Shaoting with the location of her house.
Gu Ning: I dare you to come.
At this moment, Leng Shaoting was still in the hotel, staring at the screen of his phone, thinking about why Gu Ning hadn’t contacted him yet. He wasn’t dreaming that he could meet Gu Ning tonight, but at least he could talk with her for a while on the phone! When he saw Gu Ning’s message all of a sudden, Leng Shaoting almost jumped up from the sofa.
Leng Shaoting: Of course I dare.
Gu Ning: I always feel we’re having an affair.
Leng Shaoting: We can tell your mother if you want.
Gu Ning: Forget it. If my mom finds it out, she’ll blame you for seducing her daughter and chase you away from our house, ha-ha.
Leng Shaoting: Ha-ha.
Gu Ning: Wait for a while, and come here a little later, because my mom is still awake.
Leng Shaoting: No problem.
As long as he could see Gu Ning, he didn’t care how late it was.
Outside of the duplex, Cao Wenxin had just driven her bright red Lamborghini back in great anger. When she saw that the lights were on in Gu Ning’s house, Cao Wenxin was surprised, and couldn’t believe her eyes. Gu Ning came to City B? Why didn’t she tell me!
Cao Wenxin stopped her car at once, then walked to Gu Ning’s house with an angry expression. She decided to punish Gu Ning. She went to the door, and rang the doorbell.
“Ningning, who could it be?” Gu Man was confused, because it was very late now.
“Oh, it must be my aunt’s daughter, Cao Wenxin. She lives in the next house, and I think that she must have found out that I’m here when she saw that our lights are on,” Gu Ning said.
She heard the sound of the car just then, and only Cao Wenxin and she lived here, so she bet it had to be Cao Wenxin.
“Oh!” Gu Man followed Gu Ning walking downstairs. Since Cao Wenxin was Tang Yunrong’s daughter, she had to meet her.
Once the door was opened, Cao Wenxin raised her voice in anger. “Gu Ning! Why didn’t you tell me that you came to City B? If I didn’t come back tonight, I wouldn’t have found out…” Before she finished her sentence, she noticed Gu Man in the living room and closed her mouth at once feeling a little embarrassed.
“This is?” Cao Wenxin asked.
“My mother,” Gu Ning said.
“Really? Your mother looks so young!” Cao Wenxin was astonished, because Gu Man looked like a woman around 30.
Women loved hearing compliments so Gu Man was very happy to hear that.
“Well, it’s very nice to meet you!” Cao Wenxin immediately greeted Gu Man politely. Cao Wenxin’s attitude changed very fast, which amused Gu Ning and Gu Man.
“Nice to meet you too!” Gu Man said then invited Cao Wenxin to come in. “Come on in, please!”
Cao Wenxin walked in and asked Gu Man in a hurry, “Would you please tell me how you take care of your skin?”
Although Cao Wenxin behaved like a boy normally, she was a young woman who loved beauty after all.
Gu Man was almost 40, but looked like a woman around 30, and Cao Wenxin also wanted to look much younger than her real age.
“Um, I don’t know actually, because Ningning has helped me a lot.” Gu Man smiled. She only knew that Gu Ning gave her and Gu Qing some nutritious food and told them to eat it regularly.
“Gu Ning, why didn’t you tell me about that! Aren’t we good sisters?” Cao Wenxin criticized Gu Ning
“Well, I’m thinking about sending you some skin-care products which will be on the market soon, and you’ll be the first person to have them. Satisfied?” Gu Ning said.
Cao Wenxin laughed. “Very well! I was just kidding. Please don’t be mad at me.”
Gu Ning rolled her eyes at Cao Wenxin, laughing too.
“Well, let me pour some water for you two,” Gu Man said, walking to the kitchen, but was stopped by Gu Ning. “Mom, don’t bother. She lives just next door, and she can go home to have some water if she’s thirsty.”
“Ningning, how can you be so impolite!” Gu Man was a little displeased.
“Please don’t bother. I did have a lot of water just a while ago so I’m not thirsty now,” Cao Wenxin said.
Since Cao Wenxin said so, Gu Man didn’t insist. She also didn’t want to disturb the two girls chatting, so she went upstairs to organize her clothes.
Once Gu Man was gone, Cao Wenxin questioned Gu Ning, “When did you come here? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Today, but I was very busy during the day, and I just came home so I didn’t have time to tell you yet,” Gu Ning gave Cao Wenxin a perfunctory answer because she knew that Cao Wenxin wasn’t aware of her relationship with the Tang family.
“Fine!” Cao Wenxin understood Gu Ning was always busy, so she accepted Gu Ning’s explanation. “When will you go back to City F then?”
“No idea,” Gu Ning said. Speaking of that, Gu Ning suddenly realized that she hadn’t called her head teacher for a leave yet.
“What? Don’t you need to attend classes?” Cao Wenxin was surprised. She knew that Gu Ning was a busy businesswoman but Gu Ning was still a student too. Most importantly, Gu Ning was going to attend the National College Entrance Exam in a few months!
“I can’t, because I have something important to deal with here. I think I’ll call my principal tomorrow and discuss with him about whether I can be absent till the National College Entrance Exam,” Gu Ning said.
