Chapter 950 - 947

Chapter 950: Chapter 947

Le Zhengsheng has been irritable lately, and quick to anger.

He is well aware of this himself.

The reason? He knows that too.

His subordinates gossiping behind his back, saying that his ’big aunt’ has arrived, he’s aware of as well. It’s not that he’s angry, he just wants to laugh. Has the ’big aunt’ arrived? Tch, it’s more like the ’ex-wife’ has come.

...

Through Aunt Gu’s introduction, Gu Xiaoning found a job.

She’s working as a server in a hotel.

With Gu Xiaoning’s appearance, it was naturally fitting. The manager saw her, although she lacked experience, he still immediately assigned her to the VIP area.

"Xiao Gu, you are Aunt Gu’s daughter, do your best... The VIP area has distinguished guests, they can be difficult to serve, you need to learn to handle them."

"Yes." Gu Xiaoning nodded with a smile, enduring - she was most adept at that.

Gu Xiaoning didn’t expect to encounter an issue on her first day at work.

"Guests at the Tingtai Pavilion want wine, Xiao Gu, go get it." The supervisor hurriedly instructed her.

"Ah? Alright."

Gu Xiaoning was momentarily stunned; usually, for VIP suites like these, there’s someone specifically assigned for opening wine.

However, since the supervisor suddenly instructed her to go, there must be a reason.

Gu Xiaoning dared not refuse, fearing job loss... she hurriedly went to the wine cellar to fetch the wine.

Upon returning, the supervisor was no longer there. What now?

The suite door opened, someone shouted from inside, "Where’s the wine? Get it in here!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning’s heart skipped a beat, the atmosphere inside didn’t seem right, what kind of people were they?

She was contemplating her next move when someone inside spotted her with glaring eyes, ferociously, "Hey, young lady, get in here! What are you doing, standing out there waiting for me to come and fetch you, huh?"

Uh? Gu Xiaoning was startled; not going in wasn’t an option.

She had no choice but to nod, "Okay."

As she stepped inside, she immediately sensed the tense atmosphere.

Ever watched a gangster film? That’s exactly how Gu Xiaoning felt at the moment...

Though in the center there was a round table, it was evidently divided into several groups, engaged in a drinking contest.

Judging by the situation, the losing side would lose more than just face.

"Young lady! Open the wine!" A sudden roar erupted from the crowd.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning was shocked, trembling slightly, "... Okay."

Gu Xiaoning placed the wine on the table, her entire body shaking. She wore a high-slit cheongsam, flattering her figure... causing the group of men to suddenly quiet down, staring at her.

Gu Xiaoning was completely unaware of this...

"Hey." Someone spoke, "Hey young lady, what’s your name?"

"Ah..." Gu Xiaoning was dumbfounded, "I..."

She hadn’t spoken yet when suddenly her hand was grabbed, pulling her into someone’s arms.

"Hey!" The person laughed, "So beautiful! None of my girlfriends can compare to you! So damn beautiful! Young lady, how much do you earn monthly as a server? Quit and follow me!"

Gu Xiaoning never anticipated encountering something like this!

She struggled, "Let, let go!"

Her face pale, her voice trembling, obviously very scared.

"Let go?" The person laughed even more heartily, and his followers behind him egged on with raucous laughter.

"Haha..." The person laughed aloud, "Young lady, I love your hard-to-get act! Too obedient, and I really don’t want them!"

Scared, Gu Xiaoning swallowed hard and her hands skimmed the table, she needed to find something to smash this hooligan’s head!

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, someone opposite smacked their lips.

The person released Gu Xiaoning, squinting at the direction, "Ling Shao, what’s up? Something wrong?"

Gu Xiaoning also looked over, facing... a young man.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, distinctly different from those wearing heavy gold chains, T-shirts with tattoos. His face was delicate, features refined, hair undyed and neatly trimmed, with only a black stud on his left ear.

Ling Yu smiled, beckoning to Gu Xiaoning, "You, come here!"

...Gu Xiaoning’s heart sank again, what was this now?

She stood still, not knowing that the man who had just held her shouted at her, "Aren’t you going over? Young lady, Ling Shao called you by name, you better give him face! Get over there!"

...Gu Xiaoning now had no choice but to move her steps over.

Her tongue tangled, "Ling, Ling Shao..."

Ling Yu nodded slightly, pointing at the table, "Serve me a bowl of soup."

Huh? Gu Xiaoning thought she heard wrong, but serving soup wasn’t difficult... she promptly served Ling Shao a bowl of soup, "Please."

"Mm." Ling Shao nodded slightly. "You, feed me."

...Gu Xiaoning was stunned again, did she hear wrong? This Ling Shao with hands and feet, yet making such a request?

Clearly, it was not something decent.

"Oh! Ling Shao, are you interested in this young lady?"

Ling Yu curled his lips, reached out to pull Gu Xiaoning onto his lap.

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning was shocked. Staring at Ling Yu in surprise!

Ling Yu looked at her, his arms tightly encircling her waist, whispered against her ear, "Don’t move! Otherwise, I can’t help you!"

His voice was light, outsider would consider it as lovers whispering intimately.

But Gu Xiaoning was stunned, was this Ling Shao helping her? If so, could she trust him?

Ling Shao picked up the soup bowl, scooped a spoonful, blew it, handed it near Gu Xiaoning’s mouth, "Try it for me?"

Gu Xiaoning was about to refuse when her mouth was suddenly filled, "Um..."

Ling Yu chuckled lightly, "Is it good?"

Gu Xiaoning blinked, everything was so nonsensical?

"Enough drinking!" Ling Yu suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up with Gu Xiaoning, "Let’s go!"

Immediately, someone started heckling, "Ling Shao, getting interested? Leaving with the young lady while our issues remain unresolved! Waiting on your decision!"

Ling Yu curled his lips, "Today the wine brought by this young lady, whoever ordered it... that piece of land is yours!"

Once said, he carried Gu Xiaoning out.

Behind them, shocked uproar...

Gu Xiaoning didn’t know what kind of people they were, once out of the suite she struggled, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

"Don’t move!" Ling Yu shouted lowly.

How could Gu Xiaoning listen? She opened her mouth to bite Ling Yu’s arm.

"Ah!" Ling Yu winced in pain, groaning as he let go, growled lowly, "You ungrateful girl! If not for me, you would’ve been bullied by that fat-headed old man just now! I was saving you!"

Gu Xiaoning instinctively stepped back two steps, guardedly looking at him, "You... you were genuinely trying to help?"

"What else?" Ling Yu glared at her, "You’re so young, do you think I’m interested in minors?"

...Gu Xiaoning was speechless, does she look that young? Clearly, she was already a mother.

Not wanting to explain, she bowed to Ling Yu, "Thank you, I’m going back to work."

Ling Yu squinted eyes, stroking the spot Gu Xiaoning bit him on arm... Interesting, a girl who’s indifferent to a gallant rescue, rare indeed!

Ling Yu knew, Gu Xiaoning couldn’t possibly be a minor, at most looking young, otherwise how could she be working as a server?

A subordinate approached, standing behind him, "Ling Shao."

"Mm." Ling Yu nodded, "Go find out the name of that girl."

"Yes."
