Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Like I’d Believe You
Zou Yanpeng laughed upon hearing this.
He wrapped his arm around Zhen Lingling’s waist, smiling meaningfully, as they stepped into the Saint No Hotel lobby.
They picked up a room card at the front desk and then took the elevator upstairs.
...
Left Bank Pavilion.
Gu Jin was sitting in the living room at home, studying the latest designs of the National Beauty cheongsam.
Her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell, and she turned to see Kasi heading toward the door.
"Young Master, you’re back."
Hearing that An Mingji was back, Gu Jin placed the design drawings on the table.
An Mingji changed into his house slippers and entered the living room, immediately noticing A Jin lounging comfortably in her casual clothes on the sofa.
"A Jin."
The young man’s voice was gentle as he naturally walked over and sat next to Gu Jin.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Gu Jin asked.
An Mingji replied half-seriously, "I missed you, so I came back to see you."
Gu Jin chuckled softly, "I don’t believe you."
She didn’t believe little An’s words; if it wasn’t for something, how could he come back so early?
Moreover, although the young man’s demeanor was calm and refined, there was an unmistakable displeasure in his eyes.
An Mingji smiled without refuting, leaning back against the sofa and directly asking, "A Jin, do you remember someone named Xing Ying?"
"Xing Ying?"
Gu Jin’s brow furrowed slightly; she was quite familiar with this name.
Back then, Ma Qiaolan was targeted by Xing Ying in Wanhai City First Middle School and later bullied at the Haijiang Hotel.
When it comes to Xing Ying, Gu Jin remembered that her family was quite prominent in Wanhai, with her father being the second-in-command.
Unfortunately, they were too greedy, not hesitating to plot against Qiu Qianghai in a bid for the top position, almost causing his demise.
The car accident that involved Qiu Qianghai back then was orchestrated by Xing Ying’s father.
This father-daughter duo was notorious for their wrongdoings, both with blood on their hands.
Gu Jin didn’t expect that after so many years, Xing Ying’s name would emerge from An Mingji’s lips.
Her attractive brows knitted, "Why bring her up suddenly? Have you seen her?"
An Mingji nodded, "I saw her bullying a girl from our school this afternoon; she looked familiar."
Gu Jin scoffed, "She bullied quite a few people back in the day, and it seems she hasn’t changed her ways."
Xing Ying’s appearance didn’t concern Gu Jin too much; thinking back to who she was, her heart was filled with disdain.
Since acquiring the Ancient Heaven-defying Skill, among the young girls she saw, Xing Ying was the only one surrounded by a dense black aura.
Black, representing the Evil Qi, signifying a wrongdoer, stained with lives.
The more lives taken, the thicker the black aura around them.
At such a young age, she did not value human lives, with such a malicious heart, retribution would surely come.
Gu Jin didn’t ask about the aftermath of Xing Ying bullying An Mingji’s classmate; as long as she wasn’t offended, she wouldn’t take action.
An Mingji, seeing her deep-seated disdain for Xing Ying, did not continue on the topic.
Thinking about Zou Yanpeng’s girlfriend, An Mingji picked up the juice Kasi had brought over, taking a sip to soothe his throat.
Gu Jin suddenly asked him, "Did you have lunch?"
"I did."
An Mingji placed the glass back on the table, seeing the National Beauty cheongsam design drawings on it.
"Is National Beauty releasing new designs again?"
Gu Jin glanced at the drawings on the table following his gaze, "Yes, it’s the new winter collection, which will be finalized in the next few days."
An Mingji: "Then do you need to go back to Wanhai?"
"Yes, I do. This year’s new cheongsam designs are different from previous ones; many details need to be finalized."
