Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Ning got up when she heard that Jing Yunyao was already up.
Before she went downstairs, she heard sounds from the kitchen and knew that Jing Yunyao was preparing breakfast.
Gu Ning sped up and walked into the kitchen at once. “Mother, please let me do it.”
“It’s fine. I can handle it, you just need to wait outside,” said Jing Yunyao.
Gu Ning didn’t insist, and walked out. She also noticed that the scar already disappeared from Jing Yunyao’s face, but it wasn’t a surprising result.
Before long, breakfast was done, and Jing Yunyao took the plates out.
During breakfast, Gu Ning felt sympathy, love, and care from Jing Yunyao’s eyes. She was amused and knew why Jing Yunyao looked at her in that way.
“Mother, what’s wrong?” asked Gu Ning.
“Nothing.” Jing Yunyao shook her head because she didn’t want to bring it up in case Gu Ning was heart-broken.
“Well, did you hear my conversation on the phone last night?” asked Gu Ning.
Jing Yunyao stopped for a second, then said, “Um, yeah.”
Gu Ning nodded, and didn’t look surprised.
“Do you believe that I’m Tang Aining?” asked Gu Ning again.
“Aren’t you?” Jing Yunyao was surprised instead.
Actually, it was quite obvious that Gu Ning denied that she was Tang Aining.
“Of course not, Tang Aining is already dead, but she was my teacher in the past. I’m taking revenge for her and I simply want to scare her father so I used her name,” said Gu Ning.
If Gu Ning didn’t explain it right now, it might cause misunderstandings. Although Tang Aining was born again in Gu Ning’s body, she was Gu Ning now and she must make other people believe that.
“Oh, I understand it now,” said Jing Yunyao and felt relaxed.
After breakfast, Jing Yunyao said to Gu Ning, “Ningning, you can go to deal with your business, and I can take care of myself.”
Jing Yunyao was aware that Gu Ning stayed in order to keep her company. She knew that Gu Ning was very kind to her, but she couldn’t occupy more of Gu Ning’s time.
“I’m free these days, and I’ll leave to deal with my business if it’s necessary. Please don’t be worried,” said Gu Ning.
Jing Yunyao nodded.
Even though Gu Ning didn’t go anywhere, she didn’t pay much attention to Jing Yunyao either. Everyone needed privacy after all.
At noon, Gu Ning received a call from Ning Changkai, who told her that Lanio, the world’s largest cosmetics company, wanted to acquire Kouzi. The vice president of its branch in their country, Peng Zijie, always wanted to meet him, but he refused, so Peng Zijie began to threaten him and even tried to bribe him.
Lanio was a very famous cosmetics company, and it had developed activities in the field concentrating on hair color, skin care, sun protection, make-up, perfume, and hair care.
There were nine make-up brands in Lanio now, but only two of them were top brands, so Gu Ning wasn’t surprised that they could attract attention from Lanio.
Kouzi grew rapidly within a very short time, and it was quite profitable too.
Gu Ning was curious what Lanio would do after acquiring it. Anyway, she disliked coercion and bribery. “What did he say?”
“He said that he’s a relative of the Yuan family in the capital. If we don’t agree, we’ll be shut out of the capital city,” said Ning Changkai.
If Peng Zijie didn’t have much influence, Ning Changkai wouldn’t bother to call Gu Ning.
Knowing that, Gu Ning was unhappier. “Very good, I want to see what he can do to us. If he dares harass you again, give him my number and I’ll deal with him in person.”
“Sure,” said Ning Changkai.
Although he was slightly worried about Gu Ning, he believed that she had the ability to solve this problem. Peng Zijie was only a relative of the Yuan family, but Gu Ning had the support of the Leng family in the capital.
Gu Ning called K afterwards, and told him to help her find out more information about Peng Zijie, especially his relationship with the Yuan family in the capital. She had to know her enemy very well in order to win the battle in business.
Before long, K had the result. Peng Zijie indeed had a relationship with the Yuan family, but it wasn’t close. In other words, Peng Zijie was the Yuan family’s distant relative.
Although the Peng family had chances to socialize with the Yuan family, they weren’t close at all.
Gu Ning found it ridiculously funny that Peng Zijie used his distant relationship with the Yuan family to put pressure on her company.
Although he held an important position in the branch of Lanio, Lanio was a foreign company after all, so it wasn’t enough for him to achieve his goal by using Lanio’s influence.
