"Why do you call me grandpa? You call me grandpa just like Ah Cheng." Old Man Gu frowned. Even though he had restrained his aura, a normal person would still feel their scalp tingle when they saw it.
"Grandpa …" Ning Anlan cried out in a low voice and then let out a sigh of relief, appearing very humble.
Old Master Gu was rather satisfied with Ning Anlan. From the very beginning, Ning Anlan's words had been very agreeable to his heart.
Although she didn't seem to be low-key, she still kept a low profile when it came to dealing with things. Furthermore, she didn't seem to have any edge, just complementing the ancient city.
"I heard that you've already begun managing the Ning clan?" Old Man Gu knitted his brows, causing Ning Anlan's heart to tremble. Old Man Gu shouldn't be so uneducated, right? He wouldn't let her get engaged to the ancient city and stop her from working, would he?
This won't do. She can't leave the Ning clan, and she's going to snatch them back.
Perhaps the Old Master knew what Ning Anlan was worried about, judging from his gloomy expression. He coughed lightly, knowing that his tone and expression just now had caused her to misunderstand something.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just asking. I didn't mean for you to give up on Ning clan. You're Ning Bo's only daughter, so you should have taken over Ning clan." Old Man Gu's tone softened. It wasn't as hard as it sounded just now. Ning Anlan sighed. She was overthinking things.
"Right now, I am indeed managing the Ning family." Ning Anlan let out a sigh of relief. She didn't have any intention of hiding anything from Old Master Gu. After all, it was impossible for Old Master Gu not to know that she was managing the Ning clan.
"Mm, it's good that you have your own business, and you're Ning Bo's only daughter. It's only right that you manage the company, but I heard from the ancient city that you're the one who's doing the Gu family's Northern Alley Project?"
Old Man Gu frowned. He finally got to the main point of today's topic. The reason he wanted to ask her was because he was shocked when he knew that the Gu family's project was done by an outsider.
He didn't expect the ancient city would hand over the Gu family's project to an outsider, so he specially called the ancient city back. It wasn't until the ancient city explained that he found out that it was Ning Anlan who was doing this project.
After listening to the ancient city's explanation, Old Master Gu's initial anger turned into surprise. He didn't think that Ning Anlan would have this kind of attention. A young miss who lived like a prince and was going to manage a company that was already unthinkable to him.
He didn't expect that not only did she manage Ning Xuemo in a neat and orderly manner, but she was also so creative that it really made him look at her in a new light.
The reason he called her over was because he wanted to ask her in person. After all, such an unbelievable matter was something that was hard to imagine. Even if he had heard about it from the ancient city, he still wouldn't believe it.
Ning Anlan was a young lady, after all, and she had been raised in a respectable way. Before, she was in the music business, so how could she manage the company? Now, not only could she manage the company, but she managed it in such a neat and orderly way. No one would believe her.
"I was doing it. The ancient city said I had some ideas about this project, so I tried doing it. Maybe I didn't do it well, so I let grandpa make fun of me."
Ning Anlan still didn't understand exactly what Old Master Gu wanted with her. Could it be that he wasn't satisfied with her plan? Ning Anlan frowned slightly, praying that the plan didn't break down here?
She had already prepared everything. If she were to give up now, all her efforts would have been for naught.
Moreover, she had just been careful and specifically said that the ancient city told her to do it, so even if it wasn't good, it was still the ancient city's doing. She didn't ask for it herself, and if she didn't do it well, she didn't blame her.
Ning Anlan was lost in his thoughts. He had no idea that not only was Old Master Gu very satisfied with this plan, he was even a bit pleased with it.
"How can that be? You're too modest. It's a good thing for youngsters to be modest, but don't belittle yourself."
Old Man Gu's words made Ning Anlan even more confused. She didn't dare to think that Old Man Gu would praise her, but from his words, she knew he was praising her.
"You did well on this project. In the future, keep it. Go out." Old Master Gu saw Ning Anlan's uncomfortable expression and knew that no matter what he said, Ning Anlan probably wouldn't believe him. So he waved his hand.
After all, Ning Anlan was the ancient city's daughter-in-law. He couldn't let Ning Anlan be too afraid of him. They were all family.
Ning Anlan let out a sigh of relief. Although the Old Master had said he was praising her, she still didn't dare to believe him.
Overall, Anlan's mood was quite good today. Although Gu Hua Rong had been making things difficult for her while they were eating dinner, she had also returned the favor. It was not like she had suffered a loss.
What she didn't resist at all in the Gu family was that these people didn't have much interaction with Ning Anlan in his previous life. To put it bluntly, she didn't do anything to them in her previous life, so she wasn't so resistant to them.
Going down the stairs, he saw that Gu Hua Xi was indeed talking to the ancient city. It was obvious that the ancient city didn't want to chat with Gu Hua Xi, but he couldn't refuse.
Ning Anlan was stunned for a moment before he immediately turned around to head upstairs. He didn't want them to see her and wanted to let the ancient city be baptized by the ancient flowers. This must be a very happy occasion.
However, the ancient city didn't escape as Ning Anlan had expected. They still saw her and called out to her to stop.
As expected, when Gu Hua Xi saw Ning An Lan, she immediately released the ancient city and walked towards him.
They were enjoying themselves and did not know that there was a room on the second floor that was under a heavy pressure.
Gu Xian'er casually picked up a pillow and ruthlessly smashed it against the ground. She tightly bit her lips, looking extremely angry.
"What do we do now?" Gu Xian'er was really panicking now. Old Master Gu had always loved the ancient city and wanted to give the company to the ancient city, but now the ancient city had found a girlfriend like Ning Anlan. What should she do?
Although Old Master Gu didn't say anything, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Ning Anlan.
By then, if Ning Anlan marries the ancient city and still has children left, then she would have nothing to do with the Gu clan.
"What are you panicking for?" Wan Xiurou was indeed more experienced than Gu Xian'er. Even though her eyebrows were already burning, she didn't seem to be in a hurry.
However, when Gu Xian'er heard Wan Xiurou's words, she became even more excited. With such a situation, how could she not be excited? One must know that she had always been determined to win the Gu Clan.
