Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

"Oh, isn't it Gu Man?" the woman said with surprise when Gu Man turned around, but she was pretending and ridiculed Gu Man on purpose. The woman was called Xu Xinlan. She was the wife of the owner of the factory where Gu Man had worked. Her family was rich, so she always thought that she was better than others, especially Gu Man. Gu Man had gotten pregnant before getting married, and Xu Xinlan had often ridiculed Gu Man because of it.

"Yes," Gu Man answered calmly and ignored her.

However, the woman wouldn't miss a good chance to humiliate Gu Man in public. "Oh, did you quit your job and find a better one, so that you can afford all this stuff?"

"Yes," Gu Man gave her a perfunctory answer.

Xu Xinlan was mad at Gu Man's attitude and raised her voice, "Gu Man, I'm talking to you! Mind your attitude!"

Gu Man looked to Xu Xinlan coldly and said, "Ms. Xu, if you don't like my attitude, stop talking to me." Gu Man's character had changed a lot recently, and she wouldn't tolerate people's unfair behavior anymore.

"You..." Xu Xinlan was furious.

In the beginning, Gu Ning didn't defend Gu Man, because she was curious to see whether her mother was able to handle it herself. Luckily, Gu Man handled it very well, and Gu Ning felt happy for her mother.

"Pack these three bottles! I'll take them." Xu Xinlan said to the attendant and looked at Gu Man with disdain. She believed that Gu Man couldn't afford the wine.

"I'll pay for the three bottles," Gu Ning said and took out a bank card giving it to the attendant.

"Ningning!" Gu Man and Gu Qing wanted to stop her. Although they were rich now, the wine was too expensive.

"It's fine. We're shopping for the New Year festival after all!" Gu Ning comforted them. Since Gu Ning insisted, Gu Qing and Gu Man agreed in the end.

"I asked for the wine before you!" Xu Xinlan ran to them and shouted.

"Where is the proof?" Gu Ning asked.

"You..." Xu Xinlan was irritated again. However, before she could say anything, Gu Ning had already paid the bill.

After that, Qiao Ya took the bottles of red wine and they left right away. Xu Xinlan was in a rage, but could do nothing about it.

When it was about 20 minutes from 12 pm, Gu Qing and Gu Man were almost finished shopping. Gu Ning had an appointment with An Qian, so she didn't go home with them, but she let Gao Yi and Qiao Ya drive Gu Man and Gu Qing back.

The western restaurant where Gu Ning was going to meet An Qian wasn't far from this shopping mall, so Gu Ning walked straight to it. She arrived at the appointed western restaurant five minutes before 12 pm. Gu Ning didn't walk inside, but called An Qian first.

An Qian would get there within two minutes, so Gu Ning decided to wait for her downstairs. However, a group of people whom Gu Ning disliked arrived earlier than An Qian. They were Qin Zheng and Chen Ziyao.

However, what surprised Gu Ning was that the two walked hand in hand. Obviously, there was something going on between them!

They didn't see Gu Ning until they came near, and both of them were struck dumb when they noticed Gu Ning. To their astonishment, Gu Ning appeared in their sight all of a sudden. And they immediately loosed their hands. Or to be specific, it was more likely that Qin Zheng got rid of Chen Ziyao's hand.

There was nothing between him and Gu Ning now, but he was unconscionably worried that Gu Ning would be upset.

Chen Ziyao was quite displeased that Qin Zheng was eager to get rid of her. She knew that Qin Zheng cared about Gu Ning, which annoyed her.

"Why are you here?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Why can't I be here?" Gu Ning responded. She thought that Qin Zheng was being a little ridiculous.

"I..." Qin Zheng was struck speechless, and felt embarrassed.

"Let's go now!" Chen Ziyao didn't want them to keep talking, so she interrupted and pulled Qin Zheng upstairs. Qin Zheng wasn't happy about that, but he didn't say anything. Although he ached to reach out and hold Gu Ning close, Gu Ning obviously didn't want to be near him, so he didn't stay any longer and followed Chen Ziyao going upstairs.

No sooner had Qin Zheng and Chen Ziyao walked upstairs than An Qian got here.

Seeing Gu Ning, An Qian complained, "If I didn't call you, would you totally forget about me?"

"Impossible! You know that I left City F once the winter vacation began, and I just came back the day before yesterday. I know that it's my fault that I've been too busy recently to call you," Gu Ning explained.

"Fine," An Qian said. And they walked upstairs afterwards. It was lunchtime and there were many people in the restaurant. Unfortunately, Gu Ning was seated not far from Qin Zheng and Chen Ziyao, so they saw each other once more.

Qin Zheng was distracted ever since Gu Ning appeared. Even though he understood that it was impossible for him and Gu Ning to be together again, he was reluctant to accept the truth. He was curious about why Gu Ning suddenly became so charming as well as outstanding after they had broken up. Back when they had been together, Gu Ning was like nobody!

"Qin Zheng, what are you doing!?" Chen Ziyao was mad and questioned him. In fact, Chen Ziyao had a good impression of Qin Zheng, but didn't like him very much. The reason why they became boyfriend and girlfriend was because they had slept together after both of them had gotten drunk at a party. And now that Qin Zheng was her boyfriend, she naturally wouldn't allow him to admire other girls.

Qin Zheng didn't answer Chen Ziyao's question, but drew his look back. They were in a public place, so Chen Ziyao wasn't willing to quarrel with Qin Zheng either and they both ate in silence.

After the meal, An Qian went back to work in the hospital, while Gu Ning went home.

...

Gu Qinyang's family arrived at around 2 pm. Their family reunion was appointed at the Friendship Restaurant, so they booked a room at a nearby hotel. The appointed time of their family reunion meal was 6 pm.

Gu Qinxiang and Gu Qinyang's families arrived at the private room at 5:40 pm, but Gu Man and Gu Qing hadn't shown up yet, which annoyed them. Gu Ning and her family arrived on time, and all of them were in designer brands. And with the nourishment of Gu Ning's power, Gu Qing and Gu Man looked much younger than before.
