ng Jingfen felt that with Gu Minghao’s explanation, her originally unremarkable na suddenly seed quite impressive.
She smiled and said, "Your na is also very nice."
It imdiately suggested wealth and status.
Although it was supposed to be a tour with ng Jingfen acting as the guide, every ti they arrived sowhere, Gu Minghao excused himself by saying it was getting late and only gave the place a cursory look.
After the night had deepened, he took ng Jingfen straight to the dicinal Food Hall.
ng Jingfen hadn’t thought much of it at first, but when Gu Minghao parked the car in front of the dicinal Food Hall, she was suddenly alard.
Heavens, why had Gu Minghao brought her to a place like this?
Could she avoid going in?
She didn’t want to go in and endure the awkwardness.
But, compared with enduring awkwardness, she was more reluctant to simply leave Gu Minghao behind.
In the end, she still didn’t say anything and entered with a calm deanor.
Gu Minghao, however, looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with deep aning, but ng Jingfen didn’t catch on, thinking it was scrutiny.
Gu Minghao "scrutinized" her for a few monts before speaking gently, "Have you been here before?"
Just now, ng Jingfen had told him that she hadn’t been in the area for long and only knew a few of the attractions.
His question now contained no disdain.
ng Jingfen shook her head, "I haven’t been here, but I’ve always known its reputation."
Not just known it, she had known of it many years ago.
Even before arriving in Hai City.
Gu Minghao nodded and didn’t ask further, directly leading her to ask a waiter for a private room.
As ng Jingfen curiously surveyed everything around her, she secretly prayed that she wouldn’t encounter anyone she knew.
Especially ng Chuyue and Shen Ci.
With their multitude of properties, the dicinal Food Hall was just an insignificant part, so they would be unlikely to co often, and she hoped they wouldn’t be there now...
Her analysis was accurate.
Indeed, ng Chuyue and Shen Ci rarely ca nowadays.
Not only that, Zhao Xiaoxin and Han Muyang also visited infrequently.
Now, the place was managed by Lin Yuzhe, Xu Yinuo, and Mi Hang, who were all adopted by Han Zheng.
All thanks to Mi Hang—Han Zheng wanted to continue their past-life bond as godfather and son.
ng Chuyue and Shen Ci didn’t usually co, but today they had to deliver space-produced ingredients...
Hence, they ended up having a al with Zhao Xiaoxin and a few others...
As they were leaving, they passed by the private room where ng Jingfen was, and ng Chuyue spotted her at a glance.
ng Chuyue was sowhat surprised and couldn’t help but take an extra look at her and Gu Minghao.
But she just looked twice and left.
However, if ng Chuyue found sothing interesting, how could the others ignore it?
So, led by Shen Ci, more than ten people each took a glance at ng Jingfen before leaving.
ng Jingfen, "..."
Was this just bad luck?
After they left, Gu Minghao deliberately asked ng Jingfen, "What? You know those people?"
ng Jingfen thought for a mont and nodded, "I know them, but we’re not close. The first woman was supposedly my aunt’s daughter, but it turned out she wasn’t, having been switched at birth."
ng Jingfen believed that soone as capable as Gu Minghao could easily find out about her relationship with ng Chuyue with a little inquiry. Rather than letting him find out things she didn’t want him to know, she preferred to be upfront.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Minghao’s eyes were earnest as he said, "Can you tell more about it?"
Do the wealthy love gossip too?
ng Jingfen was sowhat speechless, but still chose her words selectively and began to narrate accordingly.
In her narrative, she ntioned the backgrounds of ng Chuyue, Lin Fangwei, and Zhao Xiaoxin, but she omitted everything about her family mistreating ng Chuyue and anything related to her own involvent.
After quietly listening to the end, Gu Minghao smiled and said, "I had no idea such things happened, truly nothing is too bizarre in this world. However, I really admire your dignity; under these circumstances, you could have tried to cozy up to her, to ask for her help in finding a better job, but you didn’t... That’s truly admirable."
