Chapter 184 What qualifications do you have to try and win me over?
Their words clearly showed their disdain for Liu Ting's rambling.
Liu Ting naturally understood, but ignored it. She didn't believe that Gu Ling would remain so calm after hearing what she was about to say.
After shaking his head and chuckling, he said, "Do you know that Zongzheng Qi is in trouble?"
Gu Ling quickly replied, "What's going on? Are you going to usurp the throne and become emperor?"
Congratulations to him! He's incredibly capable.
Liu Ting rolled her eyes at Gu Ling in her heart, "Are you really not sure, or are you just pretending not to know?"
A young woman named Song Beiyou appeared beside him.
I heard she's a young female college student, extremely beautiful, and with excellent academic performance.
As she said this, Liu Ting's eyes were practically glued to Gu Ling's face, not daring to relax for a moment.
I just wanted to see her reaction, to see her bewildered and astonished.
However, she couldn't capture what she wanted.
Not only could they not catch it, but Gu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled broadly, "Great news!"
He's about to become emperor, and you're still not allowing him to have a harem of three thousand? That's not right, Consort Ting!
Oh no, you're not Consort Ting.
This has nothing to do with you. You have no connection with Zongzheng Qi; you're just an ordinary person at best.
Liu Ting, a commoner.
Liu Ting, who went from being a Noble Lady Ting to a commoner, was speechless.
She must have lost her mind to think of asking Gu Ling out.
This thought process is just too much for anyone to handle!
Even she, who always maintains an elegant demeanor, couldn't stand it and thought about flipping the table, angrily yelling at Gu Ling, "Are you out of your mind?!"
Fortunately, some rationality remained, and he managed to suppress his impulse.
"Gu Ling!" Liu Ting exclaimed, "I know you still like Zong Zhengqi, so don't you feel any sense of crisis at all?"
Aren't you worried about being outdone because of your age?
Her man was stolen by a woman who hadn't even graduated from university?
As these words ended, Gu Ling let out a cold laugh, "Heh~"
Liu Ting was taken aback by her smile. "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Ling fiddled with her newly done light pink nail polish, "I laugh at you, a commoner, for trying to meddle in the affairs of us high and mighty empresses."
If you want to win me over, just say so. Why beat around the bush?
But what makes you think you can win me over?
In my memory, Zongzheng Qi has never taken a liking to you. You're not even worthy of sitting at the table, yet you're thinking of trying to win me over.
Ms. Liu, you'd better take better care of those two silicone breasts on your chest.
Why make it so big? It's almost overflowing, tsk~
After saying that, while Liu Ting was so angry she didn't know how to retort, she picked up her bag, stood up, and started walking.
As she prepared to leave, she looked down at Liu Ting, her gaze landing on Liu Ting's curled eyelashes that obscured her eyes, and said, "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't meddle in other people's family affairs."
I remember you weren't stupid before. How come you've been used as a pawn after all these years?
Indeed, love is no good; it can make people confused.
Before Liu Ting could respond, Gu Ling disappeared from the coffee shop in no time, as if she had wheels of fire on her feet.
Liu Ting clutched her agitated heart, wanting to retort, but when she turned around, the person was already gone.
After leaving the coffee shop, Gu Ling did not immediately return to the dance association, but instead went to the restaurant where she had arranged to have lunch with Song Beiyou.
The restaurant was in the shopping mall across the street from the coffee shop. She carried her bag and stepped onto the zebra crossing with elegant steps.
Unlike her arrogant attitude towards Liu Ting earlier, she now appeared like a fairy descended to earth, her elegant demeanor drawing everyone's attention.
Some people even recognized her as Gu Ling, the president of the China Dance Association, and exclaimed on the spot, "Teacher Gu, you are so beautiful in person!"
Gu Ling generously smiled and nodded politely to them.
When you're out and about, a good image is something you create for yourself.
As long as she acts appropriately, everyone will think she is a lady.
On her phone, Song Beiyou texted her to ask where she was. Gu Ling crossed the street and entered the mall before lowering her head to reply, "I'll be there soon."
Just as I finished replying to the message and put my phone into my bag, Zong Lanfang and her daughter Mu Niannian walked towards me.
Zong Lanfang recognized Gu Ling at a glance and stared at her.
Gu Ling felt the gaze directed at him from the opposite side and looked up to look back.
Upon looking at each other, the two recognized one another.
Seeing this, Gu Ling smiled enigmatically.
I don't want to say hello; I want to pretend I don't know you.
Unfortunately, the other party wouldn't allow it.
Zong Lanfang was the first to greet her, "Gu Ling."
Gu Ling was still in the stage of pretending to be a lady. She stopped and said, "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Mu from the Mu family?"
What a coincidence!
I had just finished meeting with Ms. Liu Ting, and then I met you.
Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a group deliberately trying to bump into me!
Zong Lanfang paused upon hearing these words.
Then, ignoring Gu Ling's topic about Liu Ting, she brought Mu Niannian to her side, saying, "You used to call me 'sister'."
"Heh~" Gu Ling laughed, her laughter casual and full of amusement, "But when I called you 'sister,' you backstabbed me."
You also said you looked down on me, that I came from a single-parent family, and that my mother was a washed-up actress who couldn't be considered respectable.
They said I wasn't suitable for your main family, that my status wasn't good enough for your younger brother Zongzheng Qi, that we weren't a good match.
It was only early spring, and the weather wasn't hot at all, but Zong Lanfang was sweating profusely.
Gu Ling's words made me feel ashamed as if the only thing covering my body that I had taken a shower had been ripped off in public.
Seeing Zong Lanfang's ears turn red, Gu Ling continued, "That's why you call me 'sister,' we're not even that close."
"Don't let me actually call you and then start complaining about me again."
Hearing these words, and knowing that the person in front of her was a dance master from China, Mu Niannian could roughly understand what was going on.
However, it was just her past relationship with her uncle.
If it were anyone else, Mu Niannian wouldn't have bothered, but Gu Ling was the president of the China Dance Association, and Mu Niannian happened to be an art student. Fearing that they would run into each other frequently in Beijing's entertainment circle, she stepped forward, thinking she could say a few words of justice.
"You must be Teacher Gu Ling. I'm wondering if there's some misunderstanding between you and my mother?"
"How about we find a place to sit down and have a meal together to clear up the misunderstanding?"
Zong Lanfang's silence was tantamount to not refuting Mu Niannian's words.
Gu Ling never imagined she would reach this status and position today, and being able to resolve past grievances is certainly not a bad thing.
It's a pity that Gu Ling didn't show them any mercy.
To put it bluntly, "No, you two really can't tell that I dislike you?"
"No way, I wouldn't dare eat with you guys."
"Why?" Mu Niannian was still confused about some things and asked subconsciously.
As she spoke, Gu Ling specifically looked at Mu Niannian and said, "Little sister, ask your mother. She did so many good things for me and your uncle back then."
