Chapter 725 A Grilled Fish, Two Bottles of Beer
However, Feng Xueqin wouldn’t give up even though she knew that Gu Ning wasn’t simple. Therefore, she was merely digging her own grave, and nobody could stop her.
Lu Qiuting finally realized how serious it was, and didn’t dare say another word.
“Jesus, she’s so unbelievable!” Tong Wen was shocked.
“I heard Gu Ning say that Feng Xueqin had schemed against her mother many times, which is the reason why she was so mad. I think the Tang family doesn’t know about it yet, otherwise they would have taken action. Since you both are here, I can leave now. Oh, I’ve already paid the medical fees,” Liu Xinqi said, then left right away. He had invited Feng Xueqin to have some fun with him, so he felt slightly guilty and paid the fee for her.
“I think we should tell Pinghui,” Tong Wen said, because they didn’t know how to deal with it.
Lu Qiuting called Feng Pinghui at once and told him what had happened.
When Feng Pinghui heard it, he was in a rage. Feng Xueqin was really a trouble-maker in their family! Right now, he had no sympathy for Feng Xueqin at all, but only complaints.
It was almost 10 pm when Gu Ning got back to her house in Huafu Hills, but Leng Shaoting still hadn’t contacted her yet. She felt a little worried, but didn’t know whether she should call him in case it interrupted him.
Just as Gu Ning was about to open the door of her house, Cao Wenxin walked out of hers with an absent look on her face. When Cao Wenxin saw Gu Ning, she said to her, “I’m starving. Why don’t we go out to have grilled fish together?”
Hearing grilled fish, Gu Ning’s mouth was watering so she agreed.
There was a night-snack street across the road from Huafu Hills, so they directly walked there.
“What happened? You seem sad today,” Gu Ning asked with concern.
“Nothing, I’m just not in a good mood,” Cao Wenxin said. She obviously wouldn’t tell Gu Ning that she was missing Xin Bei.
Since Cao Wenxin was unwilling to tell her, Gu Ning didn’t ask further.
They went to a popular grilled fish shop and ordered a grilled fish along with two bottles of beer.
It was very popular and many people were waiting in line, but this shop was Cao Wenxin’s favorite, so they were willing to wait for a long time.
While they were waiting for the fish, Cao Wenxin ordered a plate of vegetables to relieve her hunger.
Although Cao Wenxin was born in a super-rich and powerful family, she wasn’t a picky eater. No matter if it was expensive food or a cheap and common snack, she ate what she liked. Cao Wenxin wasn’t like some rich people who thought that they were better than ordinary people and despised night snacks.
However, half an hour later, several men grabbed Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning’s fish and told them to wait for the next one.
Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin, of course, wouldn’t stand for it, especially when Cao Wenxin was in a bad mood. She got mad at once, and raised her voice. “What the f*ck! How can you be so shameless? You grabbed our fish and even told us to wait for the next one? Do you want to have a fight?” Saying that, Cao Wenxin rolled up her sleeves, and it seemed like she wanted to fight.
“Oh, you have quite a temper!”
One of the men was amused by Cao Wenxin’s action. To Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin’s surprise, the man stopped arguing with them. “I’m not interested in fighting with a girl. Fine, you can have the grilled fish first.”
Cao Wenxin was disappointed that the man gave up and said with dissatisfaction, “I thought that I could have a fight. You’re such a coward!”
Hearing that, the man was displeased. “What did you say? You want to have a fight, right? I’m going to punch a man later. If you dare to beat him for me, I’ll pay the bill for you.”
Before Gu Ning could say something to stop Cao Wenxin, Cao Wenxin agreed without hesitation. “Sure, do keep your word.”
She didn’t lack money to pay for the grilled fish, but she ached to fight right now.
“Wenxin…” Gu Ning looked at Cao Wenxin. It was obvious that she disagreed.
Hearing Gu Ning’s voice, Cao Wenxin also realized that it wasn’t appropriate, so she said, “Well, forget it.”
After that, she sat down.
The several men didn’t say anything further, and the grilled fish was still placed on Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin’s table.
“How funny is it that Qiao Guanxiang who is the agent of a famous singer called me to borrow some money!” the man who just argued with Cao Wenxin said.
Qiao Guanxiang? Isn’t he Xia Yichu’s ex-boyfriend? Gu Ning thought to herself, but didn’t say anything.
“He called you to borrow some money? Isn’t he very rich? Why did he do that?”
“Exactly! He’s the agent of a famous singer after all.” The other two men were confused.
“He told me that the singer was injured, and can’t sing, so they can’t make money. What’s worse, they also have to pay liquidated damages for those deals that they signed before,” the man said.
“Well, I don’t think that he can become poor overnight just because of that. He has several million yuan at least.”
“I agree. Even though he lacks money right now, how could he call you to borrow some money? He claimed to be your close friend before he became an agent, but he pretended that he didn’t know you once he was successful. I think he’s a shameless man!”
“Indeed! Don’t lend him any money!”
“Of course I refused. In fact, he didn’t tell me all the truth, because he’s on drugs now, which is the real reason why he’s in desperate need of money.”
“Oh, that’s the real reason! I think several million yuan is barely enough for him to pay for the drugs.”
When Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin almost finished eating, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning.
“Where are you now?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“I’m eating grilled fish with Wenxin on the night-snack street. Are you done?” Gu Ning asked.
“Yeah, I’m going back; it will take around 20 minutes. Will you wait for me there, or go directly home?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“We’re almost done too, so I think that we will go directly home,” Gu Ning said.
“Great,” Leng Shaoting said, then hung up.
Cao Wenxin looked at Gu Ning. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but didn’t say it aloud.
“What?” Gu Ning asked.
“Is it Shaoting?” Cao Wenxin asked.
“Yes,” Gu Ning said, but Cao Wenxin didn’t say anything further.
After paying the bill, they left together.
