Chapter 632 Uncle Gu?
Ning Li silently sighed and said into the phone, “I’ll be there soon.”
As she said that, she ended the phone call and walked into the laboratory. “Teacher Shen, shall I send you the portion that has already been dealt with?”
Shen Zhijin nodded calmly.
Ning Li’s hand tapped on the keyboard.
Actually, there was really only a small portion left, and it would not take much time.
However, it was clear that this situation was a confrontation between the Gu family and Shen Zhijin, and she had inadvertently gotten stuck in the middle. It was really a difficult position to be in.
No, or rather, it was the Gu family who was treating Shen Zhijin coldly.
When she had met with Liang Su previously, Shen Zhijin had called her “Sister-in-law”. Today, upon hearing that she was going to meet the Gu family today, Shen Zhijin had told her to leave early…
From then until now, Shen Zhijin had always been the one to compromise and give in.
After witnessing Gu Tingfeng’s attitude towards Shen Zhijin, she understood now that Liang Su’s treatment of Shen Zhijin had been rather gentle in comparison.
She closed her laptop and picked up her backpack.
“Teacher Shen, I’ll be taking my leave first.”
Shen Zhijin’s response was faint as he walked towards his office.
He went to his desk and pulled out a chair to sit down. He turned on his laptop and saw that Ning Li had already sent the content over.
He opened it, and a large string of data spread out onto the screen.
Outside the door, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Shen Zhijin sat there, staring at the screen without moving for a long time.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes and looked at his left hand.
The watch that had stopped working was quiet.
He pursed his lips, and his voice was very soft.
“Yinyin, I’ve made them angry again.”
Gu Tingfeng’s family was now living in Jinshui No. 1 Courtyard, a famous top-class villa area in the Capital. Every inch of land was worth a fortune.

The roads were indeed a little congested and it took Ning Li a full 50 minutes to get there by taxi.
Outside vehicles were not allowed to enter this area, so the taxi stopped outside the gates of the residential area.
As soon as Ning Li got out of the taxi, she saw a person waiting at the gate.
It was Gu Siyang.
He also saw Ning Li and immediately waved at her.
“Ning Li! Over here!”
Ning Li walked towards him.
This was her first time coming here. Gu Siyang was worried that she would not be able to find the place, so he had deliberately waited here.
“Did you wait long?” Ning Li asked.
“No, I calculated the time. I only came when you were almost here.” Gu Siyang raised his chin. “My parents are waiting for you at home. Let’s go!”
Ning Li followed him inside.
There were no more than thirty owners in the whole of Jinshui No. 1 Courtyard.
Looking up, the greenery was and the lake water was clear. Several villas were scattered among them.
In the core area of the Capital, such a scenery had the word “expensive” written all over it.
As Gu Siyang walked, he enthusiastically explained, “We’ll be heading to my parents’ house. The house number is 6. It’s just a little further in. You turn the corner, cross a bridge, and you’ll be there.”
Ning Li was stunned.
“Your parents’ house? Then you–” “Oh, me. I don’t usually stay with them.”
Gu Siyang shrugged.
“They thought I was too noisy, so they asked me to move to No. 2. Oh, it’s that building over there.”
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed.
Ning Li followed his gaze. The first thing that she saw was the number of luxury cars parked in front of the courtyard.
Needless to say, they all belonged to Gu Siyang.
Ning Li understood.
Gu Siyang pointed to the side. “No. 5 belongs to my uncle. However, he doesn’t stay in the Capital for long, so the house is basically empty.”
Ning Li, “… It looks like your family bought quite a number of houses here.”
The Gu family was indeed not short of money. Four people and three villas.
“No.” Gu Siyang shook his head. “This land belongs to my family.” Ning Li, “…”
She had been too hasty in her estimation.
“By the way, did you manage to finish your work at school?” Gu Siyang scratched his head, a slight conflicted expression on his face. “Um… My parents said that I shouldn’t have called to rush you. It’s okay to eat later, but the key is not to delay your official business.”
Ning Li had a headache.
Business.
This word sounded very subtle.
They clearly knew that she was helping Shen Zhijin with the data, but the way they said this was because of Shen Zhijin.
“It’s okay. Teacher Shen handled the last part himself.”
Ning Li paused after saying this. She really should not have mentioned Shen Zhijin again and again in front of the Gu family…
Gu Siyang seemed to have noticed something as he coughed. “Oh, I see.”
Ning Li asked, “Uncle Gu and the others…”
“It’s okay. Even if they’re angry, it’s not because of you.” Gu Siyang also felt helpless when he said this. “Just don’t mention it in front of them later.”
Ning Li’s lips twitched slightly. “Okay.”
As the two of them chatted, they soon arrived at Villa No. 6.
“Ah Li has arrived? Come in quickly!”
Liang Su smiled as she held Ning Li’s hand.
“Why did you carry such a heavy bag over here?”
Ning Li smiled.
“The drawing of your gown is inside. I thought of bringing it here directly so that you can look at it and make revisions to it. Also, I’m used to carrying it, so I don’t feel it is heavy.”
Liang Su nodded repeatedly and said yes, before casting a glance at Gu Siyang. “Why didn’t you help Ah Li carry it?” The corners of Gu Siyang’s eyes twitched.
It was not that he did not want to help. It was that he did not dare!
Apart from Ning Li herself, only Lu Huaiyu had the right to help carry Ning Li’s backpack. Why would he want to provoke that person??
After being criticized by his own mother, Gu Siyang felt wronged. He looked around and tried to complain to his father
“Mom, where’s my father?”
“He’s on the phone with your third uncle.”
Liang Su said before asking Ning Li to put down her backpack. “Let’s talk about the gown and the ring later. Ah Li, go ahead and wash your hands first. Dinner will be ready soon.”
The corners of Ning Li’s lips were pursed in a smile.
“Okay, thank you, Mrs. Gu.”
Liang Su said with a smile, “We’re all here at home, so there’s no need to be so formal. Just call me Auntie Su from now on.”
Ning Li paused.
“Thank you, Auntie Su.”
Gu Siyang turned around and went to look for his father.
Gu Tingfeng was talking to Gu Tingyun. “Mmm, after I’m done with this, I’ll return to Hong Kong City–“
“Dad.”
Gu Siyang walked over.
“Have you finished your call with Third Uncle yet? It’s time to eat.”
Gu Tingfeng glanced at him, then immediately looked behind him without hesitation.
Ning Li and Liang Su were standing together. He did not know what they were talking about, but there was a smile on their faces.
Gu Tingyun said, “Then Big Brother, you should go and eat first. It’s the same even if we talk about it later.”
Gu Tingfeng replied.
“Then what I told you just now, you just have to keep an eye on it later.”
Gu Siyang suddenly thought of something. He turned around and called out to Ning Li, “Oh right, Ning Li, I even specially brought some snacks from Hong Kong City for you. Should I give them to you now or later?”
Gu Tingyun was about to hang up the phone, but when he heard this, he immediately quieted down.
A moment later, he asked casually, “Big Brother, did Ning Li go to your house?”
Gu Tingfeng coughed.
“Siyang went back to the Capital and insisted on inviting her over. As you know, Ning Li has signed with LY–“
Ning Li vaguely heard her name being mentioned and turned to look.
“Uncle Gu, did you call for me?” Gu Tingfeng’s voice stopped abruptly. Gu Tingyun paused and smiled.
“Uncle Gu?”
