1300: Engagement

Engagement

"Miss Gu, may I know more about your subordinate? She's really unbelievable," Jiang Shuyuan said in a very unkind tone. "Shaojia just graduated from a famous design academy, and she made it to the top 11 without much experience. I heard that only experienced designers can rank high in such an important competition."1

Jiang Shuyuan didn't think that Gu Ning's subordinate was better than Leng Shaojia.

"Well, she's worked two or three years longer than Miss Leng, but she's very outstanding among her peers. Her gown brand is also influential now," Gu Ning said.

"Do you mean Charm?" Yu Yin asked.

Jiang Shuyuan didn't think of Charm until now. She had definitely heard of Charm and she was aware that it was owned by Gu Ning.

"Exactly, the subordinate of mine is the designer of Charm," Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Charm gowns are indeed very beautiful and of high quality. Although it doesn't have much fame now, I think it'll be famous worldwide sooner or later. I just booked two formal gowns last week!" Yu Yin said with excitement.

"Aunt Yin, why didn't you tell me that you booked gowns at Charm? I can give you a discount as big as possible," Gu Ning said.

"It's a business, so I can't accept a discount casually," Yu Yin said. She knew that Gu Ning was willing to give her gowns for free.

"You're my aunt, and I can give you gowns for free if you want them. Well, I can give you a VIP card now and you can have 30% off at Charm from now on," Gu Ning said and took out a VIP card from her bag.

As for Jiang Shuyuan, Gu Ning had no intention to give her any gifts. They weren't close, and Gu Ning knew that Jiang Shuyuan disliked her success.

Jiang Shuyuan felt displeased and embarrassed when Gu Ning ignored her. However, if Gu Ning really gave her a VIP card too, she would refuse to take it.

"Wow." Yu Yin was surprised. "Thanks, Ningning!"

Although a 30% discount wasn't much, it showed Gu Ning's kindness to her.

"You're welcome," Gu Ning said.

Jiang Shuyuan put on a face of disdain.

Master Leng didn't think that Gu Ning was impolite, seeing that she ignored Jiang Shuyuan and treated Yu Yin kindly, because he knew Gu Ning very well. Gu Ning would only treat other people nicely when others were polite to her. Therefore, Jiang Shuyuan asked for the treatment herself.

During dinner, Master Leng said, "Yuanzhen and Yin will visit the Tang family in City B with me the day after tomorrow, where we'll talk about the engagement between Shaoting and Ningning."

"What? the Tang family in City B?" Leng Yuanqian, Jiang Shuyuan, and Leng Shaojia were astonished and confused.

They knew that both Leng Shaoting and Master Leng liked Gu Ning very much, but Gu Ning was only 19 this year. Even if they couldn't wait to be engaged right now, why were they going to City B instead of City F?

Leng Yuanqian's family didn't know that Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's biological daughter.

Since Master Leng said that they would visit the Tang family in City B, it couldn't be more obvious that Gu Ning had a special relationship with it.

Leng Yuanqian, Jiang Shuyuan, and Leng Shaojia thought it was impossible.

"Father, what Tang family in City B?" Jiang Shuyuan asked.

"The richest Tang family in City B. It's Gu Ning's family, Tang Yunfan is her father," Master Leng said.

"What?" Leng Shaojia rounded her eyes in shock.

"W-what?" Leng Yuanqian and Jiang Shuyuan were also shocked. They couldn't believe that Tang Yunfan was Gu Ning's father, because Tang Yunfan was the famous Lord Tang of the Tang family in City B and he was also the chairman of Tanghuang.

The Tang family was the number one family in City B, and it had both power and wealth.

Tang Yunfan's brother, Tang Yunhang, was the Party Secretary of City B. If Leng Shaoting had the Tang family's support, he would be a greater threat to Leng Shaoming. It was unacceptable in Leng Yuanqian's family's eyes.

Actually, Leng Shaoting couldn't easily surpass Leng Shaoming alone without his future wife's family support.

"Isn't Gu Ning's surname Gu? Isn't she from City F? How come she's a member of the Tang family in City B now?" Jiang Shuyuan asked.
