Normally, Gu Ning would be home 20 minutes earlier. And now Gu Man was worried about her.

Gu Ning instantly comforted her mother, “Mom, let me explain. My classmate has sprained her ankle by accident. I’m sending her home now. Please don’t worry. I’ll be right back home as long as she’s home.”

Hearing this, Gu Man was relieved. She always trusted her daughter. “Great, you must be careful yourself,” Gu Man said.

“I will, mom. Bye-bye,” Gu Ning said. She breathed out a long breath.

Gu Ning didn’t notice that the man at the back was a little upset and envious while she was talking to her mother.

Fenghua Luxury Mansion was the best living area in City F. It was near downtown, quiet and had the best location, amenities as well as environment. People who lived in Fenghua Luxury Mansion were either the rich or the authorities.

Gu Ning’s eldest uncle, Gu Qinxiang, had always wanted to buy a house in Fenghua Luxury Mansion, but it was too expensive to afford.

Each house cost at least five or six million yuan.

Though Gu Qingxiang has millions of wealth, he couldn’t afford it.

Gu Qingxiang’s assets included his movable and immovable property, while his movable property was merely around eight million. He also needed much money to run his company. If he used the money to buy a house, his company would go bankrupt.

Gu Ning, on the contrary, had made her mind to buy a house for Gu Man and Gu Qing’s family respectively in Fenghua Luxury Mansion.

Gu Ning was a skillful driver. She drove fast and steadily.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Fenghua Luxury Mansion.

The man got off the car the minute it stopped.

“Drive the car back to where it has been. I’ll handle the surveillance cameras. You don’t need to worry,” the man said, then turned around walking towards the gate.

Gu Ning didn’t care that the man was being cold. She knew that was the way the man behaved.

Besides, they were merely strangers.

Gu Ning drove the car back afterwards.

Another 20 minutes later, Gu Ning was back while the hoodlums were gone already.

Gu Ning had no idea whether those hoodlums had woken up and left on their own, or someone had discovered them then called the police. They might have been sent to the hospital.

Though the man had promised Gu Ning wouldn’t be involved, Gu Ning still wanted to stay away from what had happened tonight. She parked the car, then ran to her home.

Far away from the building they lived in, Gu Ning saw Gu Man standing at the entrance of an alley. All of a sudden, Gu Ning felt like crying. She ran ahead, and called Gu Man with love, “Mom.”

Gu Man treated Gu Ning so well, which moved Gu Ning and made her feel guilty at the same time. She shouldn’t have let Gu Man be concerned.

Seeing Gu Ning was fine, Gu Man was finally relieved, “Ningning, are you alright?”

“I’m good, mom. Let’s go back home!” Gu Ning replied. She held Gu Man’s arm, leaning close to Gu Man like a little girl.

Gu Man wore a happy face. The mother and her daughter went home together. Their shadows became longer and longer under a street lamp.
