Chapter 1007: Taking You to Meet a Friend

Pei Dongshi didn’t mind, after all, he had been disliked since childhood.

Gu Qing could find various reasons to annoy him, but he still politely asked, “How is it?”

Gu Qing: “Tell your dad, you’re an old sister-in-law.”

“Pfft!”

Pei Dongshi almost choked on his soup, clumsily pulling two napkins to wipe himself.

He stifled the cough threatening to surface and said helplessly, “Mom, you’re blatantly lying in front of my dad’s dad.

How can you be so shamelessly straightforward?”

Elder Pei turned a deaf ear, happily picking food for Nan Jiaojiao.

Gu Qing threw Pei Dongshi a look: Do you see your dad’s dad caring about you?

Pei Dongshi rolled his eyes, forcing a smile, “Sure, if Jiaojiao wants to stay, she can stay here.”

Gu Qing turned her head and chatted with Jiaojiao, her voice soft and gentle, like coaxing a child, nowhere near her attitude towards Pei Dongshi.

There was no place for him in this family, he couldn’t stay any longer.

“This afternoon there’s something at the company, I’ll head over, tonight…”

“Just go already.”

Before Pei Dongshi could finish, Gu Qing cut him off, not even giving him a glance.

He folded a napkin to wipe his mouth, amused and irritated, “Fine.”

Pei Dongshi didn’t leave quietly, but no one seemed to notice him.

Just as they were finishing eating, Pei Dongshi’s father, Pei Zhaolian, hurried back, apologizing repeatedly and bringing a gift for Nan Jiaojiao.

After eating, Nan Jiaojiao felt a bit tipsy and planned to take a nap, but Elder Pei was full of energy and insisted on taking her horseback riding.

The cold wind blew, the alcohol in her body unsettled, feeling like a clash of fire and ice.

Nan Jiaojiao was truly having a headache, but luckily, Gu Qing noticed and found an excuse to get her away, taking her back to rest in the room.

Before sleeping, Nan Jiaojiao set an alarm.

No matter how much the Pei Family liked her, she was ultimately an outsider, she couldn’t really consider herself part of the family; sleeping late was impolite.

But before the alarm went off, Gu Qing woke her up at four.

The wardrobe was filled with new E.Y clothing, and as Nan Jiaojiao went to wash up, Gu Qing picked an outfit and a necklace for her to wear.

“We’re not eating at home for dinner, I’ll take you to meet an old friend of mine.”

Nan Jiaojiao buckled her seatbelt, “Who?”

Gu Qing briefly said, “Just call her Aunt when you meet.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t ask further.

As they pushed open the private room door, a soft-spoken voice was heard, and Nan Jiaojiao, walking behind Gu Qing’s shoulder, glanced inside, spotting a woman in a dark blue cheongsam.

The woman appeared to be in her forties, with well-maintained skin, a slender figure, and her hair styled in a bun at the back of her head, a shawl draped over her shoulders, slightly bent over pointing to the table, gracefully adjusting her shawl.

“Later, Aunt Gu will sit here, these dishes are her favorites, move over a bit.”

Gu Qing’s lips curved slightly, her brows lifted subtly with a hint of a smile as she entered, “Come on now, after so many years, you still remember my favorite dishes?”

Bai Huizhu looked up, smiling, “Even after decades away I remember what you love.

Who are you sarcastically commenting about?”

Gu Qing suddenly challenged, “Who knows who ran off after marrying a man, let’s see if you dare come back now.”

Bai Huizhu didn’t bother to argue, “Your sharp tongue is the same, only Deng Chan can deal with you.”

Gu Qing’s brow twitched, especially upon hearing the name “Deng Chan,” her shoulders subtly flinching.
