Chapter 7: Go Outside

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Man put away the gift into an end-table by the bed, then handed a cup of water to An Qian.

"Thank you so much," An Qian took the water and thanked politely.

"Gu Ning, how's your body?" An Qian asked.

"Oh, I'm fine now, and ready to leave," Gu Ning replied.

"Really?" An Qian was happy for Gu Ning, "Congratulations!"

"Thanks," Gu Ning said.

After a while, An Qian walked Gu Ning and her mother out of the hospital.

Gu Man knew An Qian was working in this hospital, she didn't want to bother An Qian, so she disagreed.

But An Qian insisted, so Gu Man accepted her offer.

While on the way out, An Qian had already called the taxi for them. Gu Man couldn't thank An Qian enough for what she had done.

As for Gu Ning, she was at ease though, but she still thanked An Qian out of politeness.

When Gu Ning finally left the hospital, she felt super free and comfortable.

After half an hour, the two were home at last.

Gu Ning and her mother lived in an old alley at the old district. It was too old and about to be demolished sooner or later.

Therefore, Gu Ning and her mother wouldn't stay here for much longer.

This house was the property of Gu Ning's grandparents. When her grandpa had passed away 10 years ago, her grandma moved to live with her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang.

And the house became the home of Gu Ning and her mother.

But they needed to pay the rent.

Since they were family, Gu Ning and her mother only needed to pay half of the rent.

It was an old area in the old district with old amenities, so the rent wasn't high.

The house had two floors. Each floor was around 40 square meters. The first floor was living room, kitchen and bathroom, and there were three rooms on the second floor.

In the past, when the Gu family had lived together, Gu Ning's grandparents had shared a room, her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang, and third uncle, Gu Qinyang, had shared another, while the third room was shared by Gu Qing and Gu Man. It had been extremely crowded.

Then, Gu Qinxiang became rich and bought another house. Gu Qinyang had got a cradle-to-grave job with a house allotted by his company. The Gu family had lived a better life afterwards.

But this old house had been left with some basic furniture, without any household appliances.

Gu Ning was astonished to know that her family was dirt poor.

Tang Aining, in her previous incarnation, had never ever lived such a miserable life.

Luckily, Gu Ning didn't feel hopeless, but satisfied, because she had the strong deep love from her mother.

She wanted to earn money as soon as possible to let Gu Man live an affluent life.

The first thing Gu Ning wanted to do after she earned money was to buy a big house, then buy some good clothes and expensive skincare products for Gu Man. She wanted her mother to enjoy her life.

Gu Man wasn't an old woman actually. She was only 39 years old. There were a lot she could do for the rest of her life.

For 18 years, Gu Man had stayed single.

Gu Man was pretty indeed, and had many admirers, but she didn't want Gu Ning to feel uncomfortable, so she never agreed to marry again.

Since Gu Ning had grown-up now, probably it is time for Gu Man to chase for her own happiness. So Gu Ning made up her mind to find her mother a good man in the future.

As for Gu Ning's biological father, Gu Man never talked about him. Even their relatives had no idea who he was.

All Gu Ning knew was that Gu Man got pregnant when she was just 19. Gu Man had been in her second semester as a freshman in her college, then she dropped out of her school and gone home.

At that time, the Gu family were all astonished by the fact. It was beyond their imagination that the most docile girl in their family would have done such a bad thing.

It was a great humiliation to them. They all agreed to have Gu Man abort the baby.

Gu Man was unwilling to abort her child. To keep her baby, Gu Man left her family, and worked outside on her own.

It had been a hard time. Gu Man hadn't successfully got any job due to her pregnancy, and Gu Qing had taken care of her.

Gu Ning's grandpa had been alive at that time, and he had always loved Gu Man, his youngest daughter, so he had brought Gu Man home at the end.

During the time when Gu Ning's grandpa had been alive, Gu Ning had been under the care of her grandpa, while Gu Man had worked hard to earn money.

Since Gu Man had lived in her parents' house, her income had always been used by the whole household.

Ten years ago, Gu Ning's grandpa had passed away. Her grandma had moved to live with her eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang.

Gu Qinxiang and Gu Qinyang had been unwilling to let Gu Man occupy their parents' house, so they had persuaded their mother to ask for rent.

"Ningning, have a rest on the bed first. I'll cook now. And don't forget to change your clothes. I'll do the laundry later." Gu Man said.

"Mom, you can cook, and let me do the laundry." Gu Ning felt sorry for Gu Man, who was skinny and always reminded her of her mother from the last lifetime. She wanted to do something for her.

"No, you're the patient," Gu Man disagreed.

"I'm fine now," Gu Ning argued.

"I said no," Gu Man pretended that she was mad.

"Fine," Gu Ning gave up.

Half an hour later, the meal was ready.

Because they lived a poor life, the meal was very simple. They didn't have meat normally, except today, because Gu Ning had just left the hospital.

During the dinner, Gu Man kept sending the meat into Gu Ning's bowl, while herself didn't have a piece at all.

Gu Ning was moved and about to cry. Actually, Gu Man now needed nutrition more than Gu Ning.

"Mom, there's enough meat. Please have some yourself. It's hot today, and we better not leave it to the night. It will be smelly." Gu Ning immediately gave Gu Man several pieces of meat.

Gu Man surely knew what was on Gu Ning's mind, but she didn't reject because she didn't want to hurt her daughter.

However, she felt sad in her heart.

She blamed herself for being unable to provide her daughter a good life.

After dinner, Gu Man urged Gu Ning to take a rest in her room. Gu Ning didn't want to lie down, but to hang out on the antique street.

She wanted to try her Jade eyes and win some money.

Gu Ning took out her savings of 500 yuan and her ID card, "Mom, I want to have a walk, and I'll be back soon."

Gu Man was worried, because Gu Ning had just left the hospital, "But, you need a rest now. You just left the hospital."

"No worries, mom. I'm fine now. A walk and the sunshine are good for my health as well." Gu Ning replied.

"But…" Gu Man was still slightly worried.

"Mom, I'm not a little girl anymore. I'll take good care of myself. And, I have my phone with me. You can call me if you're worried," Gu Ning said to comfort her mother.


Chapter 8: A Drama at the Jewelry Store

Editor: Henyee Translations

At the end, Gu Man compromised, "Then you must be cautious, and call me once you feel uncomfortable."

"I will," Gu Ning answered, then went outside.

When Gu Ning was out on the street, she looked at her phone in her hand with intense dislike. It was a cheap old phone.

To be honest, Gu Ning was used to smartphones, and she disliked the old one with buttons on it.

I'm going to make money and buy my mom and myself a smartphone. Gu Ning thought to herself.

There was no direct bus from where Gu Ning lived to the antique market, so she decided to transfer from the downtown.

Luckily, it wasn't the rush hour, and it only took Gu Ning 20 minutes to arrive at the downtown.

Gu Ning stepped off the bus, and walked ahead for another 300 meters to get on the next bus to the antique market.

There were many jewelry stores of well-known brands around the downtown.

Gu Ning was attracted by the jade shown in a window of a nearby jewelry store. She wanted to walk inside and take a look.

Although she knew how to absorb the power, she hadn't practiced yet, and was curious about the feeling.

But when she just entered the store, she heard an acid female voice, "Wow! Isn't this Gu Ning? What? You dare to walk in a jewelry store when you have no money to feed yourself?"

Yes, when Gu Ning was at school, she was known for her poverty.

Though Gu Man gave her allowance every day, which was enough for her meals, she was used to saving as much money as she could, and normally ate a steamed bun as her dinner.

That was how she had managed to save 500 yuan.

The girl who had verbally abused Gu Ning named Shao Feifei. She was Gu Ning's classmate. Back in the classroom, Shao Feifei had always laughed at Gu Ning. She would hurl abuse at Gu Ning, throw garbage into her desk and even ruin her textbooks.

The reason why Shao Feifei hated Gu Ning so much, not because Gu Ning was from a poor family, but because Gu Ning was more beautiful than her. Shao Feifei, who was so-called "the Prettiest Girl" among the students was super jealous of Gu Ning.

Gu Ning was merely a poor girl from a poor family. How could she be more beautiful than Shao Feifei!

And there was another girl of the same age stood beside Shao Feifei, but Gu Ning had no idea who she was.

Everyone in the store turned with one accord, looking at Gu Ning. Those well-educated ones stayed calm, while those who were arrogant wore a face with dislike.

Especially when Gu Ning showed up in her worn-out clothes, it was a humiliation for the rich people to be in the same place with the poor.

But Gu Ning ignored all of them except Shao Feifei, "This isn't your home. Why couldn't I be here?" she argued.

"Well, can you afford anything here?" Shao Feifei laughed at Gu Ning, then wore an exaggerated face with surprise, "Gee, do you plan to steal something?"

At that time, everyone's look on Gu Ning changed, especially the workers who were alert. They obviously believed what Shao Feifei had just said.

Gu Ning was annoyed, "Shao Feifei, you don't have any proof for that, and I can sue you for libel." Her eyes were full of coldness.

"You…"

Shao Feifei was scared by Gu Ning's look at first, then was even more astonished Gu Ning had argued back.

In the past, no matter how Shao Feifei had laughed at Gu Ning, Gu Ning had always stayed quiet.

"Sister, let's go now," The girl who was with Shao Feifei felt threatened. She wanted to leave right away.

"Why? I'll stay and see what can she afford," Shao Feifei raised her voice. She didn't want to run away in front of Gu Ning.

In her eyes, Gu Ning was merely a poor student without any power, wealth or support.

Then she looked at Gu Ning with aggression.

"I don't think I have to buy something just because I've walked in," Gu Ning argued again.

"If you aren't going to buy anything, then you shouldn't have walked in," Shao Feifei insisted.

"I want to have a look first, and it's none of your business," Gu Ning said.

"You…" Suddenly, Shao Feifei had no idea how to fight back.

Gu Ning then ignored her, walking by directly.

Though those rich people disliked the poor, nobody stopped Gu Ning.

Just like what she had said, you didn't have to buy something just because you had walked in.

But all the workers in the jewelry store kept their eyes on Gu Ning, like she were a real thief.

Actually, there were many monitors in the store, and all the jewelry were locked in thick and heavy glasses. It wasn't easy to steal a piece of them.

Gu Ning felt uncomfortable under the suspicion, but she didn't say a word.

She went to the area of jade, and focused on them. Seconds later, there was a layer of light white fog appeared above those jade, and the fog was exactly the power Gu Ning needed.

However, the fog was thin, which meant the jade wasn't good enough.

Gu Ning didn't care at all, but the glasses blocked her out from those jade. She could only absorb the power without anything in the middle.

Thus Gu Ning had to give up. She sighed slightly.

But her sigh drew attention again.

"The poor can't afford a piece of jade, and all they can do is sigh. Poor little thing," a woman said.

"Exactly, the poor can never afford a piece of jade throughout their whole life!" another woman agreed.

Gu Ning was speechless. Whatever the poor had done, it was wrong.

But how could they be so sure that she wasn't able to buy it throughout her whole life? She was poor for now, but it didn't mean she couldn't afford an expensive commodity in the future.

Gu Ning looked to those two women. They were around 40 years with good appearance. Both were in luxury dresses, a little over though.

Especially the right one, there were three diamond, gold and jade rings around both of her two fingers.

And a gold bracelet around one of her wrist while a jade bracelet around another one.
