Chapter 1240 Gu Ning Meets Gu Qinxiang Gu Ning put her phone away and kept on eating. After dinner, they stood up and walked out together. Coincidentally, Gu Ning saw Gu Qinxiang just as they walked into the hall, and there were three men with Gu Qinxiang. The moment Gu Ning saw Gu Qinxiang, Gu Qinxiang also noticed her. He felt embarrassed at this moment, and didn't know what to do. In Gu Ning's eyes, Gu Qinxiang was merely a stranger now, but she somehow wanted to forgive him when she saw his awkward face right now. The three men turned to look at Gu Ning as well, after seeing Gu Qinxiang's absent look. One of them recognized Gu Ning and walked to her with a smile. "Hi, Miss Gu, what a coincidence!" The man greeted Gu Ning politely. "You probably don't remember me, but we've met before at the Su family's party." The man was very polite to Gu Ning, because he was impressed by her ability at the Su family's party last time. "I do remember you, you're Director Tai," Gu Ning said with a smile. Hearing that, Director Tai felt honored. "It's my honor that Miss Gu didn't forget me." "Hi, Uncle Tai," Su Anya said to Director Tai because they were distant relatives. "Hi, Anya, nice to see you again. I'm sorry, I didn't see you," Director Tai said at once. "It's fine." Su Anya smiled. "Did you come here for dinner? Miss Gu, would you mind if I paid the bill for you?" Director Tai said. He did that not to please Gu Ning, but because he hoped to leave a good impression on Gu Ning, because he wanted to make friends with her. Gu Ning was a very outstanding young businesswoman, and he didn't want to miss the chance to build a good relationship with her. "Please don't." Su Anya interrupted. "Ningning must pay the bill today, because she's promised to buy us a great meal." Hearing that, Director Tai was surprised. Gu Ning laughed and said, "Thank you so much, Director Tai, but I already paid the bill." "Alright, I hope we can see each other again in the future," Director Tai said. Since Gu Ning and Su Anya had an agreement, Director Tai didn't insist. After that, Gu Ning turned to look at Gu Qinxiang and called him with a cold face, "Hi, Uncle Qinxiang." Director Tai was shocked when Gu Ning called Gu Qinxiang her uncle. Even though Chu Peihan knew that Gu Qinxiang was Gu Ning's uncle, she was surprised that Gu Ning was willing to greet him again. She had heard a lot about Gu Ning's family affairs, so she was aware that Gu Ning didn't like her uncle. Gu Qinxiang was more astonished than anyone in the hall when Gu Ning greeted him of her own accord. "Oh, hi, Ningning, been a while," he said and looked awkward. He had totally changed his attitude towards Gu Ning after being through so many things, and he also realized what he had done to her before was really unkind. Therefore, he felt embarrassed to see Gu Ning now. "Miss Gu, is Mr. Gu your uncle?" Director Tai asked. In fact, he came here today because Gu Qinxiang invited him to have dinner together, and they were going to talk about a construction project. If Gu Qinxiang was really Gu Ning's uncle, he would give Gu Qinxiang a chance. "Yeah, he's my mother's biological older brother," Gu Ning said. "Oh, I understand." Director Tai nodded. "Director Tai, Uncle Qinxiang, I'm afraid I need to go now. See you," Gu Ning said and left. "See you," Director Tai and Gu Qinxiang said. After that, Gu Ning walked outside with her friends. Once Gu Ning was gone, Director Tai said to Gu Qinxiang, "Mr. Gu, I think we can talk further about the construction project we're going to work on with each other." Gu Qinxiang understood that Director Tai was willing to do that because of Gu Ning. He was Gu Ning's close relative, and Director Tai wanted to establish a good relationship with Gu Ning through him. If no accidents happened, he was going to get this project. Gu Qinxiang was excited and felt grateful to Gu Ning. He somehow had a feeling that Gu Ning greeted him in order to let Director Tai know their relationship so that he could benefit from it. It was the truth, Gu Ning was tired of hating him. She had a happy family now, and all the people she cared about were living a good life now, so she thought that it wasn't a bad idea to forgive some of her enemies. Gu Qinxiang had already changed, so there was no need for her to continue to hate him. Besides, Gu Qinxiang's family had received severe punishment because of what they had done before. "Sure!" Gu Qinxiang agreed with a broad smile, and they went to an elevator together. When they walked ahead, Gu Qinxiang turned around and glanced at Gu Ning. He had mixed emotions at this moment.
