Chapter 1884 - 30: Staying at the Meng Family

"It won’t happen. Just apologize to Simin when she’s calmed down." Simin’s angry words made Zhu Meihua feel even more guilty, as if she was the one being scolded.

Ping Qing rubbed his temples; it would be a lie to say he wasn’t surprised by Zhu Meihua’s reaction.

Nobody knows what kind of person his mother is better than he does, and for her to so easily forgive Gu Yunbo really feels strange. And then there’s Simin, who knows how she’ll act once she wakes up tomorrow!

"Ping Qing, Simin is definitely going to be angry when she wakes up. How about letting Yunbo stay at your teammate’s house for a couple of days, and wait for Simin to calm down before apologizing?" No one understands her daughter better than she does; she’s capable of defending herself even when she’s in the wrong. This time, having suffered such a big loss, she might even have the murderous intent towards Gu Yunbo. It’s best not to let the two live together during times like this. She has to separate them first and then comfort Simin.

"That’s the only way." Ping Qing sighed; he had already thought about it on the way home. "I came back together with Meng Fan tonight; their family has a large place, both leaders are absent, Meng Ping is still away at the Northwest District with the old leader, hasn’t returned yet, so why not temporarily stay there for a period of time!"

"Alright." Zhu Meihua agreed without hesitation, and then began packing Gu Yunbo’s things.

Only Ping Qing and the dazed Gu Yunbo remained in the living room.

"Our family doesn’t expect you to repay kindness, but you better behave in the future. If you dare to harm any of my family again, I won’t spare you." He warned sternly.

Gu Yunbo solemnly nodded.

Ping Qing stared at her; the girl was very complex, difficult to understand. The less he could comprehend her, the more dangerous she seemed. He couldn’t help but raise his guard, planning to have a teammate investigate her hometown tomorrow.

What kind of environment could cultivate such a personality in Gu Yunbo?

Almost like a little wolf cub.

*****

Zhu Meihua packed quickly, mainly taking Gu Yunbo’s things. Within half an hour, the two were already at the Meng Family door. Sister Fang opened it and immediately gave Gu Yunbo a sympathetic look.

Ping Qing bitterly smiled; Sister Fang’s thoughts were different from others.

If it were anyone else, they’d surely show disgust, right? But this way is good, it reassures him. Deep down, he doesn’t want a seventeen-year-old girl to be rejected by everyone,

"Sister Fang, I’ll trouble you with my younger sister for the next few days." Ping Qing said politely.

"No problem, I’ve already prepared the guest room."

"Where’s Meng Fan? I’d like to thank him in person, if not for him agreeing to take in my sister, I wouldn’t have found someone so quickly otherwise."

"You’re too formal; you both grew up with Meng Fan. It’s only natural for him to help you. Besides, it’s late, you can’t let a little girl stay at a guesthouse alone! She’s still so young, letting her stay at a guesthouse would be worrisome."

Sister Fang looked at the expressionless Gu Yunbo and felt even more sympathy.

"Meng Fan is already asleep, why don’t you come back tomorrow?"

"Okay, then I won’t disturb you." Ping Qing turned to Gu Yunbo and instructed, "You’re staying at the President’s house thanks to Meng Fan’s consent, remember to thank him properly and be polite."

"Got it!" Gu Yunbo finally replied.

"I’ll make sure to comfort Simin well. Don’t think too much, I’ll come and take you home soon." Speaking of taking her home, Ping Qing’s expression softened noticeably.

He knows better than anyone how his sister’s temperament is; when she wakes up, there’s bound to be chaos, and if Yunbo were at home during it, it would be unmanageable.

"I understand."

"Hmm! I’ll head out now, you should sleep early."

"..." Gu Yunbo said nothing, her gaze was complex as she looked at Ping Qing. In her past life, today’s events didn’t happen, nor did she experience staying at the Meng Family. It seems she’s inadvertently done something foolish.

She turned situations that could have been controlled into ones that went out of control.

"Come in!"
