“I don’t remember you at all,” Leng Shaoting said.

Hearing that, the woman looked displeased.

“Leng Shaoting, stop acting! Mengya was the most beautiful girl in our school! She chased you, but you rejected her. I’m afraid that you didn’t know her family is super rich, so you rejected her at that time,” said the man. He didn’t think it was embarrassing that Lin Mengya had chased Leng Shaoting before. “Well, you missed a great chance to become successful. If Mengya became your girlfriend back then, it could have saved you at least 10 years on your way towards success.”

It sounded as if it was an honor to climb up the social ladder on a woman’s coattails. However, he said that simply to laugh at Leng Shaoting.

Leng Shaoting wasn’t mad at all, because this man was merely a loser in his eyes. Jing Yunyao didn’t feel humiliated either, because she had the same opinion about this man as Leng Shaoting.

“Ha-ha, ha-ha.” Gu Ning snorted with laughter, then asked, “Miss, may I know how many assets your family has?”

Lin Mengya didn’t notice Gu Ning until now, because she paid all her attention to Leng Shaoting. So when she saw Gu Ning, Lin Mengya was amazed by her beauty and there was obvious jealousy in her eyes.

Gu Ning was much prettier than her. However, she didn’t think it was important, because Gu Ning looked poorer than her, so Lin Mengya pretended to be modest. “Not much, about seven hundred million yuan in assets.”

Although she sounded modest, she was actually showing off her family wealth.

“You’re right, it indeed isn’t much and actually is too little,” said Gu Ning with disdain.

“You…” Lin Mengya didn’t expect that Gu Ning would have that reaction, and it seemed that Gu Ning’s family was richer than hers. She was reluctant to believe it.

Lin Mengya asked at once, “Is your family richer than mine?”

If Gu Ning’s family was indeed richer than her family, she wouldn’t dare to mess with Gu Ning in case her family was affected.

“Not much, about ten billion yuan,” said Gu Ning and she pretended to be modest as well.

“W-what?” Both Lin Mengya and the man were shocked. They couldn’t believe their ears!

“Ten billion yuan? You must be bragging!” said the man. He refused to believe what Gu Ning just said to them.

“I know it’s beyond your imagination.” Gu Ning rolled her eyes at him.

“Ha-ha.” Jing Yunyao snorted with laughter. It was so funny when Gu Ning made fun of the man.

“You…” When the man wanted to say something else, five people walked over in a hurry.

The man at the front was about 40 years old. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, followed by four people. Two were in security suits and two in casual clothes.

The man recognized the man at the front at once; he was the leader of this museum, Cai Wenhong. Therefore, he greeted him with great respect at once. “Nice to see you, Curator Cai!”

Even though this man was born in a rich family, he didn’t have as high a position as Cai Wenhong in the society.

Cai Wenhong, however, ignored him and went straight to Leng Shaoting. “General Leng, I’m so sorry to keep you waiting.”

Although Leng Shaoting had only waited for him for a few minutes, he was still very polite to Leng Shaoting.

Seeing Cai Wenhong’s behavior, the man and Lin Mengya were stunned.

Cai Wenhong just called Leng Shaoting a general! They went to school, and they knew that only an officer with a rank of major general or above could be called a general.

Thinking of that, the man and Lin Mengya turned to look at Leng Shaoting with shock. It turned out that Leng Shaoting was an important officer in the military and his rank could be a major general or above.

They couldn’t believe it! Leng Shaoting was too young to be a major general.

Nevertheless, Cai Wenhong had indeed just called Leng Shaoting a general.

The man and Lin Mengya didn’t want to stay at this moment.

“No worries, Curator Cai,” said Leng Shaoting.

“I’ll get it out right now, then we can go to finish the related procedures,” said Cai Wenhong. They needed to finish some procedures to take an antique out of the museum.

“Sure,” Leng Shaoting said.

After that, Cai Wenhong gave an order to clear the area and Leng Shaoting as well as the other people had to leave right now. It was very serious to open the showcase, and no accidents were allowed to happen.

Although he was the head of this museum and had great power, this place wasn’t his home and he had to be responsible for it. As a result, all the other people in the jade exhibition area were politely asked to leave.

Lin Mengya and the man still couldn’t believe what had happened, but they listened to the order and walked outside.

After that, Cai Wenhong and his people went to open the showcase and take out the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern.

The second the showcase was opened, the white mist covered around it attacked Gu Ning’s eyes. Gu Ning’s eyes felt uncomfortable at once and she closed them to shut the white mist out.

Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting noticed that white mist too, and they looked at Gu Ning with great surprise. Both of them were cultivators, so they could see magical power.

Leng Shaoting knew Gu Ning’s secret, so he wasn’t very surprised, but Jing Yunyao was greatly surprised. However, even though they were surprised, they composed themselves because they were in a public place.

“Ningning, are you alright?” Leng Shaoting immediately asked Gu Ning in a low voice.

“I’m fine,” said Gu Ning, but she didn’t open her eyes right away.

As the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern was put into a box, Gu Ning felt the magical power leave her for a while. She opened her eyes then and didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore.

She saw that Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao were worried about her, but they didn’t say anything about it to each other.

Before the required procedures were finished, the Jade with Dragon Phoenix Cloud Pattern was kept by the staff in the museum.
