Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel

Chapter 2635: I’ll Keep It a Secret

The club manager recognized Gu Ning, but Gu Ning didn’t know him. After all, Gu Ning was a celebrity and only a few people didn’t know her in business.

“M-Miss Gu, I didn’t know it’s you! I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it’s you, so I…” The manager apologized at once. If he knew it was Gu Ning, he wouldn’t have told the security guard to stop her.

“Don’t say that. It’s my fault. I just couldn’t think too much in such an urgent situation,” said Gu Ning. The manager did nothing wrong, so she wouldn’t blame him.

“In fact, I should thank you, Miss Gu. You just caught a criminal in our club, otherwise a serious crime might have happened,” said the manager. Although it was exaggerated, he wanted to please Gu Ning.

However, Gu Ning was a reasonable person, so he actually didn’t need to be scared.

“My pleasure,” said Gu Ning.

“Miss Gu, where is your private room? Let me take you there,” said the manager.

“Thank you so much.” Since the manager was willing to take her there, Gu Ning didn’t reject.

The manager brought Gu Ning outside the private room, then said, “I should leave. Enjoy yourself, Miss Gu.”

“Sure,” said Gu Ning, then she went into the private room.

…

Chen Jialin was waiting anxiously. Although she believed that Gu Ning could handle it, she was still worried, because Kun was very creepy. She wouldn’t feel relieved until Gu Ning was back.

She immediately stood up and asked, “Miss Gu, how is it?”

“It’s done,” said Gu Ning.

Hearing that, Chen Jialin was extremely relieved. She thanked Gu Ning gratefully. “Thank you, Miss Gu. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have taken the wrong road. How’s Kun now?”

“He’s involved in evil magic, and has harmed a lot of people the same way before you. The police are chasing him, so I handed him to the police. He’ll surely be sentenced to death,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t tell Chen Jialin that Kun was an evil cultivator, because it was unnecessary, but after what had happened, she had to let her know that Kun wasn’t an ordinary man.

Hearing that, Chen Jialin took a deep breath in horror.

He was involved in evil magic? She had heard about that before. In the entertainment industry, some actresses would raise a baby ghost in order to get famous. Or they would use the baby ghost to hurt their peers.

She didn’t believe it before, but after experiencing such creepy things these days, she tended to believe that it really existed.

The world was much scarier than she thought!

“Keep it a secret, alright?” said Gu Ning. Even if Chen Jialin spread it abroad, no one would believe it, but it was better to keep it a secret, in case any unpleasant rumors were started.

“Sure, I’ll keep it a secret,” said Chen Jialin. She understood how shocking it was, so she wouldn’t tell anyone even if Gu Ning didn’t remind her to keep it a secret.

“Alright, have you ordered yet?” asked Gu Ning.

“I have, but I don’t know what your favorites are, so I just ordered several of the club’s specialties. I think we can have the meal now,” said Chen Jialin.

“Well, I’m not picky, but specialties normally suit the taste of the public,” said Gu Ning.

After knowing that Gu Ning wasn’t picky, Chen Jialin relaxed, then she asked the waiter whether the dishes could be served now.

The waiter gave her an affirmative answer, then Chen Jialin said that they were ready to eat.

Although only Gu Ning and Chen Jialin were there, and Chen Jialin ate very little in order to stay in shape, she still ordered six dishes this time.

Chen Jialin understood that they might not finish them all, and they might merely finish a third of the dishes, but she had to be generous since Gu Ning was her saviour. She couldn’t just order a dish or two, since it wouldn’t show her sincerity.

Gu Ning also understood that it was Chen Jialin’s way to thank her, so she said nothing.

After eating the meal, Gu Ning drove Chen Jialin back to the hotel. Because the film and television base was located in a suburb, most of the actors stayed in the same hotel which had been booked by the crew.

Only some actors asked to live at home.

Chen Jialin lived in the capital, but her home was far from the film and television base, so she chose to stay in the hotel. It would take a lot of time if she commuted between the two places.

…

Gu Ning drove a long distance to send Chen Jialin back to the hotel, not because she was kind, but because it wasn’t safe for an actress to go back alone.

Most importantly, Chen Jialin came out with her. If she didn’t drive Chen Jialin to the hotel safely, she would have to take responsibility if something bad happened.

It was dark and Chen Jialin didn’t dare to take a taxi by herself for such a long distance, so she accepted Gu Ning’s kindness.

…

After Gu Ning sent Chen Jialin back to the hotel, she went straight to the siheyuan. By the time she got back to the siheyuan, it was already 10 pm.

Everyone asked her about the meeting. Although Gu Ning was home which meant that she was done, they were still worried.

Gu Ning didn’t bother to hide anything from them and told them the whole story.

The others were surprised and had to admit that many people were betrayed by their friends nowadays!

…

Shortly after Chen Jialin got back to the hotel, Feng Lili called her, but Chen Jialin didn’t pick up and instead directly blacklisted Feng Lili’s phone number and WeChat account.

Feng Lili was startled. She didn’t know why Chen Jialin would do that to her. At the same time, she was angry and felt humiliated.

Afterwards, Feng Lili sent Chen Jialin an email and questioned Chen Jialin why she did that.

This time, Chen Jialin replied to Feng Lili.

Chen Jialin said: Feng Lili, we shouldn’t keep in touch any longer. Let’s go our separate ways. I don’t know whether you’re clear about the truth of the black jade pendant. Or maybe you deliberately schemed against me, but I already found out the truth. So given what you’ve done to me, I don’t see you as a friend anymore.

After reading the reply, Feng Lili didn’t send Chen Jialin another email, because she clearly knew the truth of the black jade pendant. She set Chen Jialin up and lied and said that she was also wearing the jade pendant.

In order to make Chen Jialin believe her, she had indeed worn a black jade pendant, but it wasn’t from Kun. It was just an accessory that she bought on her own.
