Chapter 917 Restless Night

At this time, Suning was undoubtedly excited to be able to break up peacefully with Feng Xiaoqin, because Suning was a man who did not like to be constrained, and it would definitely be painful to live with Feng Xiaoqin all day long.

Now making Feng Xiaoqin his ex-wife is undoubtedly the best outcome. This way, he can not only gain the freedom he needs, but also give an explanation to Feng Xiaoqin and Xiao Lao Hu. No matter what, he will not have anything to do with the scumbag.

"Gu Lei, is it true that stock trading can make money?" Gu's father, who couldn't sleep, kept thinking about Suning and still felt it was a little unbelievable.

"Dad, are you a Shanghainese? How come you don't understand stock trading?" You know, Shanghainese have a long history of stock trading, and it's even more crazy than in the mainland.

"Hey! I only heard about it when the stock market was at its hottest. At that time, in order to take care of you and your sister, I didn't dare to invest my money casually."

"Dad, since you're retired now, I'll teach you slowly from now on. I can't promise you wealth and glory, but it won't be a problem for you to pick up a few more old ladies in the future."

"Huh? You little bastard, you're getting more and more outrageous. How can you talk about your own father like that?" Hearing his son actually start to tease him, Gu's father immediately felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Dad, look, Yang Zhenning was 82 years old and still able to marry a 28-year-old beauty. What's the big deal for you to just find a companion?" Su Ning said with a look of disapproval on his face. He felt that it would be nice for Old Gu to find an old lady with a good temper.

"You... say that again! Get out of here." Old Gu, who had never been teased by his son, immediately became angry.

"Okay! Okay! I won't say any more. Let's go to bed."

The son in front of him now gave him a very strange feeling. In the eyes of his father, he had not only changed, but had gone from one extreme to another.

"Gu Lei, you have a good relationship with that upstart now?"

"Yes! In fact, Zhan Xiang is a really good person. He is completely devoted to Qing Yu. If Qing Yu really follows him, she will definitely be very happy."

"Humph! What's so good about a nouveau riche?"

"Dad, why are you so confused? Zhan Xiang came to Shanghai from Guangdong alone as a teenager to work hard and quickly became the 'Fang Ye' he is today. Do you really think he just relied on good luck?"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"Also, where does your sense of superiority come from? Is it just because you're a gloriously retired teacher? Or are you just some arrogant Shanghainese person with a narrow-minded perspective?"

"I...how do you talk?"

"Dad, you're a retired teacher. I never thought you'd still be living in the small alleys of Shanghai. Before you look down on others, think about how miserable we were back then, living in someone else's house."

"you……"

"That's enough! I can't sleep like this anymore. We really don't get along."

"Uh..." The confused Father Gu sat up and looked blankly at Su Ning who stood up and dressed. He suddenly felt that the son in front of him was definitely not his son.

Su Ning didn't care about Gu's father's surprise. Instead, he left Gu's house and went out to drink. It would be a waste of time to come to Shanghai if he didn't enjoy the beautiful nightlife.

……

In fact, the other people in the Gu family had been paying attention to the movements in Gu's father's room. After all, what happened today was too unbelievable. By the time Su Ning just walked out of the Gu family in a leisurely manner, the other people in the Gu family had already known about it.

Feeling strange, Feng Qianqian got up and went straight to Feng Xiaoqin's bedroom. At this time, the little tiger was already sleeping like a pig.

"Sister, my brother-in-law seemed to have had a quarrel with my uncle just now, and now my brother-in-law seems to be out."

"Humph! He's not your brother-in-law, so I don't need to care about his life or death anymore."

"Sister, don't you feel strange? My brother-in-law's change is too sudden. Do you think he might have had something going on outside?"

"Impossible! You...Gu Lei doesn't have such a petty idea."

"It's hard to say! Men, after all! Aren't they all animals that think with their lower body? Didn't you and him get pregnant before marriage?"

"Feng Qianqian, you..."

"Sister, I don't mean anything else by saying this. After all, you are old and your looks have faded. Shanghai is a materialistic world. You can find any woman you want, so..."

"Xixi, could it be that Gu Lei really has someone else outside?"

"It's very likely! And I seemed to hear them talking about the stock market! Sister, my brother-in-law has changed so much, could it be that he made a lot of money in the stock market?"

"Impossible! He doesn't have the brains for it."

"Sister, don't be too confident. Nothing is impossible in Shanghai."

"..." Feng Xiaoqin, who had already found it difficult to accept Suning's changes, became even more suspicious after hearing Feng Qianqian's investigation and speculation.

Feng Xiaoqin's marriage to a man from another place in Shanghai is definitely not as simple as it seems. Not to mention how many secrets she has hidden about herself in the past, she must now find out the reason for Suning's sudden change.

"Xixi, you're right! I really want to find out why Gu Lei changed his mind. I actually think it has something to do with Gu Qingyu."

"Sister, you think too highly of Gu Qingyu, don't you?"

"Xixi, you don't understand! The most capable person in the Gu family is Gu Qingyu, and she's also the most defensive towards me. After thinking about it, only Gu Qingyu has the ability and motivation to do this."

"Sister, are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with your brother-in-law tomorrow morning to get a divorce?"

"Go! With the little tiger here, I'm not afraid of anyone. Let Gu Lei have some fun first. I want to see how long he can keep going."

"..."

In fact, Feng Qianqian was undoubtedly very envious of Feng Xiaoqin. Just like what Suning said at night, Feng Xiaoqin now not only had a Shanghai hukou, but also had a huge sum of 1.2 million yuan to protect herself. This made Feng Qianqian even more determined to marry a Shanghai man.

But she also knew that it was impossible for every Shanghai man to be as generous as Suning. Not only might she not get any benefit in the end, but she would also be stuck in the quagmire of life forever. So Feng Qianqian still kept her eyes open and chose the best targets.

……

However, seeing his son mercilessly insulting him, Father Gu fell into deep shame. Then, at a loss, he thought of his daughter Gu Qingyu again and realized that the important events at home needed to inform Gu Qingyu as soon as possible.

"Dad, why are you calling me so late?" Gu Qingyu, who was far away in a star-rated hotel in Guangzhou, answered the call from his father in surprise.

"Qingyu, something big happened at home. Gu Lei and Feng Xiaoqin are getting divorced."

"What? That's impossible. Didn't they say we'll have a family meeting tomorrow?"

"Yeah! I'm a little confused about the specific situation. Gu Lei has changed so much that he actually forced Feng Xiaoqin to sign a divorce agreement and gave her 1.2 million."

"Ah? Dad, how is this possible?"

"Gu Lei had a huge argument with me just now, saying that my head was still in the alleys of Shanghai. He also asked me why I looked down on Zhan Xiang. Now he's run away and I don't know where he went."

"Zhan Xiang? It seems that Gu Lei's change is related to Zhan Xiang. At least he will know the specific reason. I even suspect that the 1.2 million yuan Gu Lei took out was all borrowed from Zhan Xiang."

"Qingyu, Gu Lei said that the money was earned from stock trading and that it had nothing to do with Zhan Xiang."

"How is that possible! Dad, all of Gu Lei's salary was given to Feng Xiaoqin. How could he have the money to invest in stocks? Besides, if he did invest in stocks, he wouldn't be able to hide it from Feng Xiaoqin."

"Qing Yu, could it really be related to that outburst... Zhan Xiang?"

"Humph! It's almost certain! Don't worry, Dad. I'm going to call that damn upstart right now."

"Okay! Take your time! Just figure out the situation. If it's true that he borrowed money from Zhan Xiang, we'll help Gu Lei pay it back right away." "Okay! I'll ask first."

……

After hanging up the phone call to Gu Qingyu, Gu's father's uneasy mood relaxed a lot. He himself did not realize that he had unknowingly regarded Gu Qingyu as his backbone.

Gu Qingyu ended the call with his father and immediately called his bootlicker Zhan Xiang. Looking at the beautiful night view of Guangzhou outside the hotel window, his thoughts had already returned to Shanghai, thousands of miles away.

"Qingyu, why did you think of calling me?" Zhan Xiang, who was far away in Shanghai, immediately became excited when he saw Gu Qingyu calling him.

"Zhan Xiang, what are you and Gu Lei doing?"

"Ah? Qingyu, you already know everything?"

"Humph! Tell me! How much money did you lend to Gu Lei? And did you instigate a divorce between Gu Lei and Feng Xiaoqin?"

"What? Borrowing money? Divorce? What on earth are you talking about?"

"Zhan Xiang, you disappoint me so much. Gu Lei just gave Feng Xiaoqin 1.2 million and forced her to sign a divorce agreement. It's you, Zhan Xiang, who broke up our Gu family."

"Ah? This is impossible! Has Gu Lei become so domineering now?"

"Zhan! What did you say? Do you dare to repeat it again?"

"Huh? No! I didn't lend Gu Lei any money, and I didn't know about his relationship with Feng Xiaoqin. I can swear to God that I didn't."

"Really?"

"Really?! I met Gu Lei at a western-style restaurant near his workplace this afternoon. He directly said he wanted to buy my house for 13 million. Then, in the afternoon, he and I went to the Housing Authority to complete the transfer procedures."

"What? Are you telling the truth?"

"Really?! At first, I was also skeptical about where he got so much money. He explained that he made it from stock trading. In recent years, he was lucky enough to invest in several medical technology stocks, especially the nuclear company responsible for nucleic acid testing."

"Zhan Xiang, did Gu Lei really make a lot of money in the stock market?"

"It's almost certain! Even if he embezzled public funds as a financial officer, it's impossible for him to do this."

"Well, Gu Lei definitely doesn't have the courage. I still have great confidence in him."

"Qingyu, I have already signed a purchase agreement with Gu Lei. If you really don't want him to buy this house, I can definitely return the money to him, but he needs you to convince him."

"Alright! I'll take the earliest flight back to Shanghai tomorrow, and I'll talk about it after I figure out the situation."

"Okay! I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow."

"No need! I feel annoyed every time I think of you." Gu Qingyu naturally refused unhappily at this time, said something sarcastic to Zhan Xiang and hung up the phone.

"Uh..." Zhan Xiang looked at the hung up phone with a blank smile. He didn't expect that the Gu family's affairs would make him unpopular.

……

At this time, Suning naturally didn't know that he had caused a major earthquake in the Gu family, nor did he know how wide the aftermath of this earthquake would be. Instead, he took a taxi directly to the most famous bar on the Bund.

After getting off the taxi, Suning suddenly felt that life without a car was difficult, and he decided to buy a luxury car as a means of transportation as soon as possible. As for investing in the stock market, it can perfectly explain the source of funds.

As soon as he walked into the dimly lit and extremely noisy bar, Suning immediately came to life. All kinds of crazy men and women were twisting their bodies wildly on the dance floor, and many men and women were shamelessly hugging each other and making out.

Suning was already used to all this. He just twisted his body casually on the dance floor for a few times, and after venting his frustration, he ran to the bar nearby to drink.

"A glass of whiskey." He looked at the bartender in front of him and said.

"Sir, your whiskey!" The bartender smiled and handed Su Ning a glass of whiskey. He then looked at Su Ning's unfamiliar face for a few more times, then leaned close to Su Ning and asked in a low voice, "Is this your first time here?"

"Yes! It's a sleepless night alone! Come out and relax."

"Then how about I introduce you to a beautiful girl?"

"No need! I'm an old hunter who likes to actively hunt."

“Oh…I see.”

Suning drank the whiskey in his glass and suddenly felt extremely relaxed all over. This may be the biggest reason why young men and women like to come to the bar.

After all, the pressure of life and work is too great nowadays, so young people naturally need a space to vent and relax. As long as they stick to their bottom line, there will be no big problem. Of course, those who have very low self-control do not need this.

"Handsome guy, can you buy me a cocktail?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded beside Su Ning, and the strong smell of perfume was really pungent.

"Okay!" Su Ning turned around in surprise and looked at the woman who came up to him. He didn't like the thick makeup on her face. Then he turned to look at the bartender in front of him and said, "Give her a cocktail."

"Ok."

"Sir, you are such a gentleman. I really like you."

"Girl, I'm not in a good mood today, so I really want to be alone. Can you let me be alone for a while?"

"Hmph!" Seeing that Suning actually rejected her advances, the woman turned around and left angrily without even taking the cocktail handed to her by the bartender.

"Huh? This wine?" The bartender looked at Suning in surprise and asked.

"Just leave it here!"

"it is good."

Seeing that Suning was so refreshing and generous, the bartender felt relaxed. However, just as the cocktail was placed on the bar, a slender hand suddenly appeared and picked up the cocktail and drank it all.

At this moment, both Suning and the bartender were stunned by the scene before them. When Suning turned to look at the owner of the jade hand, his eyes widened immediately, "Sun Qi?"

"You? Do you know me?" Sun Qi looked at Su Ning in front of him and asked in confusion.

"Sun Qi, don't you recognize me? I'm Gu Xin's cousin Gu Lei. We've met before at a party."

"Brother Lei, I didn't expect to meet you in a bar."

"Haha, I couldn't sleep tonight, so I came out to have a drink to kill time."

"Sun Qi, where is Gu Xin?" Sun Ning had already guessed most of what was going on when he saw Sun Qi's condition, and then he looked at Sun Qi and asked knowingly.

"He..." Sun Qi's expression became somewhat unnatural at this moment.

"What's wrong? Are you two having a fight?"

"No! Gu Xin and I have broken up."

"Ah? What's going on?"
