sunk in leprechaun

Chapter 39
Mrs. Gu was a little annoyed when she heard Nan Gongru say that about Pei Qian, "How can you even believe such a rumor that is untrue at first glance?"

Nangongru was immediately speechless by Mrs. Gu's words, "I didn't mean that, Miss Pei, I'm sorry."

Originally, for the sake of Mrs. Gu, Pei Qian didn't want to argue with her at all, but Nan Gongru started to target herself from the beginning to the end, and her words were also ambiguous.

This Nangongru is obviously a brainless young lady.

"It seems that I am too cheap to compare with you."

Pei Qian's tone was cold, and the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees.

Gu Lanjin took another strawberry from the plate and handed it to Pei Qian who was beside her, "Eat more, it was just flown in."

Nangongru was furious when she heard Pei Qian's words, but thinking of Mrs. Gu next to her, she had to struggle to maintain her image as a famous lady.

In an instant, his face became ugly.

The housekeeper came over to remind Mrs. Gu that dinner was ready.

Although Mrs. Gu was not afraid that the Nangong family knew someone from Yemeng, she didn't want Pei Qian to get into unnecessary trouble, so she could only smooth things over.

"Come on, Qianqian, let's go eat, Ruru, you can stay and eat too."

Nangongru also wanted to spend more time with Gu Lanjin, and when Gu Lanjin was seated, she immediately sat next to Gu Lanjin.

Pei Qian "..."

After Nangongru sat down, she gave Pei Qian a provocative look.

Seeing Nangongru's eyes, Pei Qian began to think.

Is it because he is too kind, giving Nangongru the illusion that he is easy to bully?
Pei Qian sat on the other side of Mrs. Gu.

When Gu Lanjin got up, Nangongru grabbed the cuff of her suit, "Brother Lanjin, don't you want to eat?"

Gu Lanjin took off her suit jacket, walked around behind Madam Gu and sat next to Pei Qian.

Then he slowly served Pei Qian a bowl of soup.

Mrs. Gu brought boiled fish to Pei Qian again, "Yesterday I saw that you liked this very much, so I asked the kitchen to make it again."

"Thank you grandma, it tastes good."

On the one hand, Nangongru lost her appetite after hearing Pei Qian's words.

Why did Mrs. Gu allow her to call her grandma directly?Also notice what she likes to eat?
On the other side, Mrs. Gu also served Nan Gongru a bowl of soup.

Nangongru was very unhappy with this meal, wishing she could eat Pei Qian who was across the table, but Pei Qian didn't take her seriously at all.

After eating, Nan Gongru also said goodbye to Mrs. Gu, got in the car and went home.

Pei Qian wanted to borrow a book to read at night, but Mrs. Gu asked Gu Lanjin to take it to his exclusive study.

The inside of the study room is a simple design in black, white and gray. There is an entire wall of books, which are neatly arranged by category.

Gu Lanjin sat at the computer desk in the study to handle some things, leaving Pei Qian free.

I have to say that Gu Lanjin also has a large collection of books, some of which are very precious or even out of print, but each one is carefully preserved.

Pei Qian picked up a book casually, and read it while nestling on the sofa opposite the desk.

Gu Lanjin occasionally looked up and saw Pei Qian reading a book seriously, looking peaceful.

My heart seemed to be gradually filled.

Neither of them bothered each other, and they went about their own business quietly.

The butler knocked on the door and spoke to the inside through the door.

"Master, Miss Pei, I have prepared a supper for you."

Gu Lanjin opened the door a crack, and the butler handed over a tray from the outside. Just as she was about to close the door, she met the butler's curious eyes.

Most likely it was sent by Mrs. Gu.

Pei Qian raised her head when she smelled the aroma, and saw freshly baked chocolate cupcakes and two cups of hot milk on the table.

"Eat?"

Seeing her nodding, Gu Lanjin put the tray on the small coffee table next to the sofa.

After both of them finished eating, Gu Lanjin simply cleaned up and handed the tray to the servant outside.

Pei Qian was still curled up on the sofa, holding the tablet she brought, tapping on the screen with her slender fingers.

Gu Lanjin sat on the other side of the sofa.

"The Nangong family had business dealings with our family before, so they knew each other. Now the Nangong family is not as good as before, and the Gu family seldom cooperates with the Nangong family."

Pei Qian didn't understand the situation in the capital, but why did the declining Nangong family get banned drugs.

"Even for middle-level personnel, it is almost impossible to get banned drugs."

Gu Lanjin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why do you look like you know everything well?"

Pei Qian was startled.

Almost slipped.

"It's not that difficult to deduce it."

Gu Lanjin also believed Pei Qian's words, "Even for the Gu family, it is difficult to get acquainted with people from Yemeng, they are basically elusive."

Of course Pei Qian would not tell Gu Lanjin that the person sitting next to him at the moment was Yingying, the current leader of the Yemeng.

"I don't think Nangongru is a person with a brain. I don't rule out the possibility of being used by someone with a heart to deal with the Gu family."

Pei Qian reminded Gu Lanjin appropriately.

"I'll find someone to check."

"Ask grandma to put the incense in the room during this time, but don't light it. If someone tips the news, it will scare the snake."

Gu Lanjin nodded, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

"What time do you want to leave tomorrow? I'll call the airport and let them arrange it."

"Have a meal with grandma at noon before leaving."

The two chatted for a while, and Pei Qian proposed to go back to the room to sleep.
