1018 K Meets His Father
Being ignored, Qi Ziyue was a little displeased, but didn't mind it, because they were simply acquaintances.
Without delay, Qi Ziyue followed Gu Ning. "May I know your name?"
Men were all the same. If a woman was very interested in him, he wouldn't pay attention to her and even thought that she was annoying. However, if the woman kept a distance from him or even deliberately ignored him, he would have a burning desire to attract her attention.
Qi Ziyue had never been ignored by any women before, so Gu Ning's behavior aroused his interest. In addition, Gu Ning was his type.
"My surname is Gu," Gu Ning said without looking at him.
Although Gu Ning hated Qi Ziyue, she couldn't show her real feelings on her face at this time. If Qi Ziyue felt her strong hatred towards him, he might become alert and pay more attention to her, which could cause unnecessary trouble.
"Miss Gu, do you need a ride?" Qi Ziyue asked her.
"Thanks, but my friend is fetching me," Gu Ning said.
"Fine." Since she said that, Qi Ziyue didn't insist. He stopped and watched Gu Ning getting into the car. When Gu Ning was gone, he turned to his own car in the parking lot.
...
K drove Gu Ning to the Administration for Industry and Commerce.
"Have you prepared all the documents?" Gu Ning asked.
"Sure, Cangyi has checked them for me too," K said with excitement.
Gu Ning smiled. K looked like a happy little boy who just got sweet candies.
Afterwards, Gu Ning called Chen Cangyi and told him to book a room for lunch. They would dine together with Lu Zhan and Lu Xiao. They hadn't gathered together in a long time.
Lu Zhan was delighted to know that Gu Ning was coming, and he couldn't wait to share the good news about Infinite Horror with her.
Gu Ning and K filled in some forms when they arrived at the government building. After they handed in the necessary documents, the only thing they needed to do now was to wait.
...
When they arrived at the appointed restaurant, it was almost 12 pm.
Chen Cangyi and the others were already there, and they had ordered many dishes. Once Gu Ning and K arrived, the dishes would be placed on the table.
However, they encountered a familiar face in the hall. The person was Mu Xuxin, K's biological father and enemy.
The second K saw Mu Xuxin, his face changed.
Probably because Mu Xuxin hadn't seen K for many years, he failed to recognize K, but greeted Gu Ning first.
"Miss Gu, what a coincidence! It's so nice to see you again," Mu Xuxin said politely. In fact, he didn't look well because the Mu family was still in a complete mess.
Even though K, who worked for Gu Ning, had a long-standing grudge against the Mu family, the Tang family was still one of the Mu family's important business partners. The Mu family was also invited to attend Gu Man and Tang Yunfan's wedding.
He had heard of the story about Gu Man and Tang Yunfan, so he was aware that Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's biological daughter.
"Nice to see you, Mr. Mu!" Gu Ning said with a smile.
Even though Mu Xuxin failed to recognize K, he thought that K looked quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen K before.
"Mr. Mu, nice to see you." K opened his mouth at this moment.
K hated to talk with Mu Xuxin, but today was different. Mu Xuxin was in big trouble now, which was exactly what he had wanted and made happen. He had to seize this chance to make fun of Mu Xuxin.
"You, you're..." Mu Xuxin rounded his eyes in shock all of a sudden. Mu Xuxin had been too busy these days, so it took him a long while to remember K. When he finally recognized K, he realized that his son was still alive.
"I feel quite honored that you still remember me," K mocked.
"I..." Mu Xuxin panicked and avoided K's eyes.
"It's fine. We're merely strangers now," K said airily, like it was the truth. K didn't care if Mu Xuxin remembered him or not, because Mu Xuxin was his enemy.
Mu Xuxin, however, felt utterly embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days. How are you doing?" Mu Xuxin asked, but felt uneasy.
"I'm good, very good, especially recently," K said with a broad smile on his face.
