2137 Can't I Have a Girlfriend?

In the afternoon, the fake Yang Jun was taken back to the police station because he was much better now.

Gao Yi told Gu Ning the news right away.

Gu Ning didn't care about what would happen next for the time being, so Gao Yi would observe and see what Shao Chen would do. After all, she was an outsider and had no right to intervene so much.

If she knew that Shao Chen had no evidence, she would take action. Anyway, the fake Yang Jun was wronged, and it was her who stopped him from taking revenge.

…

Soon another day had passed. It was a Sunday in mid-November, so it was already very cold, but Gu Ning was a cultivator and didn't feel much cold.

Miao Jingjing woke up today and felt much better, so Jing Yunyao asked her whether she wanted to stay or leave.

Miao Jingjing only knew Jing Yunyao and the others now, so if she left, she had no idea where to go. Therefore, she chose to stay.

After all these years, Miao Jingjing had made a living by illegal means, so she had no assets and was single. She decided to look for a job to make money once she fully recovered.

People still needed to make money on their own. Even if Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had a lot of money and raising a group of people wouldn't be a problem for them, it wasn't a good idea.

However, they could support and help her find a job. Therefore, Gu Ning asked Miao Jingjing what she wanted and could do.

Miao Jingjing had never worked before, so she had no idea. Gu Ning felt Miao Jingjing could spend some time learning more about the job market before making decisions.

…

At noon, Leng Shaoting was back with Xu Jinchen and Song Haoyu.

Because Leng Shaoting and his teammates had helped Song Haoyu catch the fugitive last time, Song Haoyu owed them a meal. So since they had time today, he invited them to have a meal. And because Leng Shaoting and Xu Jinchen were going out to have a meal, Gu Ning and Zi Beiying went with them.

They would only have the meal in the afternoon, so Leng Shaoting went back to the siheyuan and Xu Jinchen went to see Zi Beiying before that.

When Leng Shaoting got back, Gu Ning told him about what had happened during these days.

…

That afternoon, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went out together.

The appointed place was Zhuo Zhonghong's roast duck restaurant, because Zi Beiying wanted to eat roast duck and Zhuo Zhonghong's restaurant offered other delicious dishes. They were regular customers.

As the person who invited them out, Song Haoyu naturally needed to go there before them. As a result, at 5:30 pm, Song Haoyu came.

After about twenty minutes, Xu Jinchen showed up with Zi Beiying.

Seeing a beauty by Xu Jinchen's side, Song Haoyu was greatly surprised because he had never seen any girls by Xu Jinchen's side before, except for Xu Qinyin.

When Song Haoyu heard Xu Jinchen introduce Zi Beiying as his girlfriend, he was shocked. "What the f*ck? Xu Jinchen, you have a girlfriend?"

Hearing that, Xu Jinchen was displeased. "What? Can't I have a girlfriend."

"Of course you can, but it's such a big surprise," said Song Haoyu.

"Surprise? I don't think so." Xu Jinchen rolled his eyes at Song Haoyu, then ignored him. After that, he went to sit down with Zi Beiying. He also asked her whether she wanted to drink water, tea, or juice.

Zi Beiying wanted water, so Xu Jinchen poured her a glass.

Seeing Xu Jinchen being so considerate, Song Haoyu somehow felt it was very strange, because he couldn't believe that Xu Jinchen could be so gentle. Besides, he suddenly felt very sad watching them showing affection for each other in public.

Moreover, Leng Shaoting would come with Gu Ning in a while. If there were two loving couples in the room, Song Haoyu would feel like he was the odd one out.

All of a sudden, he had an idea of looking for a girlfriend. He wasn't young anymore, and he was nearing thirty this year.

A few minutes past six, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting also arrived.

Song Haoyu sighed when he saw the two couples. "I feel like I shouldn't be here." He complained.

"You can leave, but pay the bill first," said Leng Shaoting. He didn't care about Song Haoyu's feelings.

"I'm so upset now. Why do you still say that to embarrass me? It's inhumane." Song Haoyu felt heavily hit. Were they really his friends?

"If I'm inhumane, why would I help you catch the fugitive?" Leng Shaoting asked.

In an instant, Song Haoyu didn't know what to say. "Alright, you win. Let's order now!"

Everyone told Gu Ning and Zi Beiying to order first and order whatever they wanted to eat. They didn't need to care about the prices.

They decided to order roast duck and some other dishes.

Although Song Haoyu would pay the bill, none of them had the habit of wasting food, so they only ordered as much food as they could finish.

During this meal, Song Haoyu was very upset because Leng Shaoting and Xu Jinchen were busy caring about their girls, while he was single and alone.

Anyway, he had to eat, so he forced himself to eat some food even though he wasn't happy.

After the meal, Song Haoyu proposed to have a drink because he rarely relaxed due to his profession.

Since Song Haoyu suggested that, they agreed.

They didn't go to other places, and just went to Song Nan's bar.

Song Haoyu and Song Nan were relatives. Although they were distant cousins, they had a good relationship, so they went to spend money at his bar.

Coincidentally, Song Nan was in the bar. Tang Qingyang and Jiang Ruiqin, Xu Qinyin, Gu Anna, and other people were also there.

Therefore, once Gu Ning and the others went over, they saw them and Song Nan told them to sit at the next table.

Seeing Gu Ning and the others, Jiang Ruiqin and the other people greeted them. Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna directly ran to Gu Ning's table and chatted with Gu Ning and Zi Beiying.

The moment Gu Anna's sight fell on Song Haoyu, she felt he looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, an idea dawned on her, but she wasn't sure of it, so she asked with uncertainty, "Are you Song Haoyu?"

Song Haoyu was struck dumb for a second. To his surprise, Gu Anna knew him, but he didn't know her. "Yeah, I'm Song Haoyu, and you?"

"Oh, it's really you! It's been so many years. You're so handsome and charming now. We went to the same high school, I'm Gu Anna. I chased you in the past. You might have forgotten me, ha-ha!" Gu Anna got excited when she found out that it was really Song Haoyu. After all, it wasn't often that she got to see her old schoolmate and she had chased him.
