Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

Chapter 970 Glad to Know Tha

“Sorry, I’m afraid that you can’t,” Zhou Guangrui said. He was unwilling to help his competitor.

At the very beginning, he wouldn’t have refused to be reconciled with Zhou Guangming because those unpleasant experiences had all happened in their childhood. However, Zhou Guangming didn’t stop picking on him even though he had made it clear that he had no interest in taking over their family business.

In that case, he had to fight back. He was now determined to win in the heir battle.

Although he was competing against Zhou Guangming, he wouldn’t scheme against him behind his back because they were brothers after all, but he wouldn’t grin and bear it either if Zhou Guangming schemed against him.

“You…” It wasn’t a surprising answer, but Zhou Guangming was still displeased.

Right at this moment, their father walked downstairs. Seeing that both Zhou Guangrui and Zhou Guangming were in the yard, he walked outside too.

Once Zhou Guangrui noticed his father, he walked ahead with excitement. “Dad, I was just invited to attend the wedding held by the Tang family! What kind of gift do you think I should prepare for it?”

“What? You’re invited to the wedding held by the Tang family?” His father couldn’t believe it. “Really?”

“Of course. Didn’t I tell you that Gu Ning is my acquaintance? Although we aren’t familiar, Gu Ning is Pan Zirui’s boss, so I had a chance to meet her,” Zhou Guangrui said, but his father interrupted him. “I don’t think that that has anything to do with the Tang family.”

“Of course it does! Gu Ning is Tang Yunfan’s biological daughter, and Tang Yunfan is going to marry her biological mother today!” Zhou Guangrui said.

Hearing that, his father was surprised again, but laughed out loud with satisfaction the next second. “Great, my good boy!”

His father was thrilled that Zhou Guangrui was able to form a relationship with such an influential figure and family. They probably wouldn’t benefit much from it, but it wouldn’t do them any harm.

“What gift should I prepare?” Zhou Guangrui asked again.

“Oh, right. Let me think about it,” his father said.

Zhou Guangming got jealous and was full of hatred towards Zhou Guangrui after seeing their father being so proud of Zhou Guangrui. He clearly knew that their father loved Zhou Guangrui more than him ever since they were little boys.

Since Zhou Guangrui was invited to attend the wedding held by the Tang family now, their father would pay more attention to him too.

When he was only 3 years old, his mother abandoned them, and he was sent back to live with his grandparents. He would only come to City B on vacation to stay with his father.

His father didn’t have much time to take care of him, and married Zhou Guangrui’s mother later.

His father didn’t bring him back home until his business became profitable and they could finally afford a nanny, at that time Zhou Guangrui was 3 years old and he was 7.

Even though his father treated him well, there was always a distance between them. However, his father was much closer to Zhou Guangrui. Zhou Guangrui’s mother was also a kind woman, and did her best to be fair, but Zhou Guangming wasn’t her biological son after all.

“Dad, it’s a good opportunity to help our family form relationships with those important figures. I think it would be better if I could go there with Guangrui,” Zhou Guangming said, trying to persuade their father to side with him.

Their father thought that it was reasonable, but didn’t make the decision on his own. Instead, he turned to ask Zhou Guangrui, “Guangrui, what do you think?”

Zhou Guangrui pretended to feel cornered. “Dad, I would love to, but I got invited because of Zirui’s relationship with Miss Gu, not because I’m Miss Gu’s friend. What if Miss Gu is unhappy that I brought my older brother along. I don’t think it’s a good idea to displease Miss Gu.”

Hearing that, their father agreed. “You’re right. Guangming, I think you better stay at home.”

“Alright.” Zhou Guangming nodded, but was annoyed. To his surprise, Zhou Guangrui still refused to help him right in front of their father.

He blamed Zhou Guangrui for it.

However, he didn’t dare to show his dissatisfaction on his face, in case their father disliked him.

…

Gu Ning and her friends had fun together in the mountain villa after lunch to kill time.

“Didn’t you say that you’re going to tell me the details about what happened last night after you suddenly left?” Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning.

Gu Ning remembered that she had promised Leng Shaoting to tell him everything about what had happened last night.

“Oh, the thing is that I ran into a member of the Evil Practice at the airport when I went to pick you up yesterday. I thought that nothing good could come from him being there, so I followed him till an abandoned villa area in a suburb. I found a 14-year-old girl tied to a chair and it was obvious that the man wanted to absorb her blood for his inner discipline, so I fought against him,” Gu Ning said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting got nervous at once. “Are you alright?”

Gu Ning smiled. “I’m fine.”

“Glad to know that.” Since Gu Ning said that she was fine, Leng Shaoting believed her.
