Because of what the Shen family had done, Master Leng felt hurt and kept a distance from them, but he wouldn’t show his real feelings on his face before the dirty secret was exposed.

“Who’s this girl?” Shen Yanfeng was a little surprised to see Gu Ning.

“This is my granddaughter-in-law, Shaoting’s fiancée,” Master Leng said.

“What? Shaoting’s fiancée?” Shen Yanfeng was shocked.

How come his girlfriend has become his fiancée so soon? This girl looks so beautiful. It’s impossible for my daughter to win against her.

“Is there anything wrong with that?” Master Leng frowned in annoyance.

“No, no, not at all,” Shen Yanfeng said at once.

“Great, we should go inside now,” Master Leng said.

Hearing that, Shen Yanfeng moved aside.

From the beginning to the end, Shen Yanfeng failed to sense any differences in Master Leng’s attitude towards him.

Jiang Zhongyu and Master Xu weren’t aware of what the Shen family had done behind Master Leng’s back, and Master Leng had no intention to tell them. The fewer people who knew, the better it would be.

When they entered the private room, they ordered dishes and chatted together.

It was already 7 pm after they finished dinner, and they were about to go back to their own homes.

“Girl Gu, where do you stay in the capital?” Master Leng asked.

“I stay in Shaoting’s house,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t think that it was inappropriate.

“Great!” Master Leng smiled with satisfaction. “I know that you won’t stay in the Leng family house right now, so I won’t invite you to go back with me, but do share a meal with us in the Leng family house when Shaoting is back, alright?”

“Sure, I’ll go visit you with Shaoting once he’s back,” Gu Ning said.

“Girl Gu, if you’re free, you can visit me as well! Qinyin also aches to see you again,” Master Xu said.

“I will,” Gu Ning said with a smile. She had contacted Xu Qinyin and the others when she arrived at the capital because they were her friends too. However, she was busy today, so she could only gather together with them tomorrow.

“Don’t forget to visit me!” Jiang Zhongyu invited Gu Ning.

“Ha-ha, I won’t,” Gu Ning said and laughed.

After that, they separated.

Leng Shaoting’s phone was turned off now, or Master Leng would have called him and showed off that he just met Gu Ning.

Gu Ning didn’t go back to Leng Shaoting’s house right away, but left for Jiulong Mountain, because she needed to deal with what the female ghost told her to do as soon as possible.

In the Leng family’s house, only Leng Shaoting and Leng Shaoming were absent. Leng Yuanqian and Leng Yuanzhen were in their own studies. While Jiang Shuyuan and Leng Shaojia, Yu Yin and Leng Shaoxun, and Leng Shaoxi and her mother were in the living room.

Although Jiang Shuyuan didn’t have a good relationship with Yu Yin, they got along with each other peacefully.

Leng Shaoxun, however, was arguing with Leng Shaojia as usual, and everybody was already used to it.

Master Leng looked happy and excited the entire time, which aroused their curiosity.

“Grandpa, what happened? Why do you look so happy?” Leng Shaoxun asked.

Except for Leng Shaoting, Leng Shaoxun was the closest to Master Leng, and the rest of thee people all stood in awe of him.

“Have a guess.” Master Leng smiled.

Leng Shaoxun’s sight fell on the roll of painting in Master Leng’s hands. “Oh, you just got a good painting from a famous artist.”

“Ha-ha, right. It’s the Confederate Rose by Water by Tang Yin,” Master Leng said with pride. “Most importantly, the person who gave this to me is very special.”

“Who is it?” Leng Shaoxun asked in a hurry. The others also looked at Master Leng with confusion.

“She’s Shaoting’s girlfriend, my granddaughter-in-law!” Master Leng said and laughed with satisfaction.

Hearing that, everyone was surprised.

Granddaughter-in-law?

They were all curious about Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend.

“You just met Shaoting’s girlfriend? What does she look like? Is she a beauty?” Leng Shaoxun bombarded Master Leng with questions. He was also very curious about Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend, but Leng Shaoting never told him details.

“She is indeed very attractive, and she’s also very young but has already achieved a lot,” Master Leng said. He didn’t bother to hide his approval of Gu Ning.

“Really?” Leng Shaojia got jealous. She couldn’t believe that a beautiful young girl could achieve a lot at such a young age.

In fact, Leng Shaojia understood that her grandfather wouldn’t compliment a girl for no reason, but she simply felt uncomfortable when her grandfather thought so highly of Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend. She hated Leng Shaoting and everyone who had a close relationship with him.

Master Leng sensed Leng Shaojia’s hatred towards Gu Ning, and felt displeased. “To be honest with you, Shaoting’s girlfriend is going to get engaged to him, and she’ll visit us here when Shaoting comes back home in a few days. Be kind and polite to her. She isn’t a weak nor simple girl, and I don’t think you want to mess with her.”

After that, Master Leng turned around and walked away.
