☆, Chapter 22 Catching an adulterer
After dealing with the Gu family, Bai Qingyuan went to the guest room to rest under the guidance of the housekeeper.
I didn't go downstairs until dinner time, and dinner was delivered to my room.
Bai Yifan was the same. He was impatient to deal with the fence-sitters in the Gu family. This time he came along because he was worried that his old father would have to take care of other people's family affairs.
At the Gu family, whenever he went out, someone would try to get close to him, so he stayed in his room the entire afternoon and had a quick dinner.
Bai Yifan wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and was about to call the servant to take the plates away when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Boom boom boom——
"Mr. Bai, have you rested?"
Bai Yifan remembered this voice, it was Gu Ximing's sister.
Why is Gu Ran here?
Bai Yifan vaguely remembered that Gu's father and Old Man Gu did not have a very good relationship. Given Gu's father's current status, it was impossible for him to covet the Gu family's property.
Bai Yifan pressed his forehead and said in a low voice, "Come in if you have anything to say. The door is not locked."
The next second the door opened and Gu Ran walked in briskly.
"Brother Bai, did I disturb you?"
"No, it's still early for break time." Bai Yifan spread his hands towards the small sofa next to him, "Sit down."
"Are you eating? Did I delay you?" When Gu Ran sat down, he noticed the simple food on the small tea table and paused hesitantly.
"We've finished eating." Bai Yifan said, "I was just about to send someone over to clear it out."
"Oh, I'm glad I didn't disturb you." Gu Ran smiled.
Bai Yifan looked at her calmly.
He had already asked what the matter was before entering, and there was no need to ask again now, as that would be impolite.
He was waiting for Gu Ran to speak.
But Gu Ran seemed to have completely forgotten the purpose of his coming here, and started chatting after sitting down.
"This sofa is quite soft, more comfortable than the one in my room."
He reached out and fiddled with the flowers on the windowsill.
"What's this flower called? It's so big. I don't have one in my room. I've seen it in pictures before."
"Is this a gardenia? I recognize this one, it's quite fragrant."
"When will this jasmine bud bloom? I love the smell of jasmine."
Gu Ran sat on the sofa and inspected the entire room, talking about everything from curtains to bed sheets, and finally the topic returned to Bai Yifan.
"Brother Bai, I heard from the housekeeper that your father came here to supervise the lawyers. I thought he was here alone, but I didn't expect you to come with him."
"I'm not busy at work, so I came along." Bai Yifan didn't have much patience to deal with uninvited guests, but Gu Ran's childlike curiosity was different from those people in the Gu family who were trying to curry favor with the powerful.
He suddenly became less impatient. Looking at the constant smile on Gu Ran's face, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the two of them spending time together.
So he asked, "Would you like something to drink? I'll have the servants bring it over."
"Great! I want to drink watermelon juice." Gu Ran said, "Thank you, Brother Bai."
"You're welcome." Bai Yifan smiled lightly and raised his hand to press the call bell.
The servant came upstairs quickly. Bai Yifan asked them to clear the tableware and ordered some black coffee and watermelon juice.
While Gu Ran was charging here, he was talking to the system in his mind.
"That's pretty close, right? You're pretty full of energy, right? I've been trying to find something to talk about for almost half an hour. You should have already recharged a lot of energy, right?"
System: "Host, physical contact is required for faster energy charging. Currently, we are only in normal energy mode."
"Can physical contact be casual? What if I get arrested as a hooligan?" Gu Ran half-jokingly fooled the system, "Okay, this will only give you a little more time. Wait for me to find some more topics..."
"Hey, that's not right!" Gu Ran suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "What time is it?"
She said this directly, instead of asking the system in her mind.
Bai Yifan looked at his watch and said, "Seven fifty-five."
Oh my god!
Gu Ran stood up quickly, "It's almost eight o'clock! I was so busy charging that I almost forgot about the important matter!"
Charging? What to charge?
Bai Yifan was confused, but didn't take it too seriously, thinking he had forgotten to charge his phone or something, and said, "I have a charger here."
"It's not that charging." Gu Ran scratched his head embarrassedly, "I forgot..."
Forgot to eat melon!
But I can't tell Bai Yifan this directly.
But after all, Gu Ran had stayed at Bai Yifan's place for so long to recharge his batteries, and he felt like an irresponsible scumbag if he just left like that.
She felt that she should give Bai Yifan some reward and not always waste his energy.
So Gu Ran took a deep breath and said, "I'll take you somewhere, Brother Bai."
"Ah?" Bai Yifan was stunned and didn't react to the meaning of Gu Ran's words for a moment.
Your room? Bai Yifan didn't know why this suspicion arose in his heart.
Gu Ran had already taken the opportunity to pull his wrist, "Come on, Brother Bai, let's go and take a look together. I promise it will be interesting!"
Taking the opportunity to recharge through physical contact, I really am a little genius! Gu Ran thought proudly.
"That..." Before Bai Yifan could come up with an excuse to refuse, he was pulled out of the door by Gu Ran.
Gu Ran dragged him straight to the third floor without even taking the elevator.
The third floor and above are where the other members of the Gu family live. Bai Qingyuan and Bai Yifan were both arranged to stay in the guest rooms on the second floor, on the same floor as Gu Ran and the others.
Seeing that the place Gu Ran wanted to take him was not Gu Ran's room, Bai Yifan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason he felt a little lost in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he was pulled to the third floor.
As soon as Bai Yifan went upstairs, he saw the elevator door opposite open, and Aunt Gu San, Mother Gu, Aunt Gu Er, and Qian Yanyan came out of the elevator.
Aunt Gu smiled and led everyone forward, saying, "We don't have much to do tonight, so we can play mahjong together to kill time. But let's make a deal, we can't play too big, we can't compete with you guys who are rich and powerful. If I lose too much, my husband, Gu, will beat me tonight."
"How? On the bed?" Aunt Gu teased. "Haven't you heard the saying 'fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot of the bed...'"
"It seems that you two are treating us as a joke." Qian Yanyan smiled, covering her mouth.
"You guys are always so frivolous!" Aunt Gu laughed.
The group was having a great time, except for Mother Gu, whose smile concealed a burning gossip heart.
As she watched the door getting closer and closer, she felt as if a big golden melon was right in front of her.
Does Aunt Gu really want to use them to catch the adulterer?
Are Gu Guofeng and his adopted daughter really inside?
The melon that Gu Ran had preheated in advance had never failed. The more Mother Gu thought about it, the more excited she became. She stared at Aunt Gu San, took out the room card, and slowly opened the door.
A vague and ambiguous voice suddenly came out from inside.
"Hmm...ah...be gentle...I can't bear it anymore..."
"You little devil, stop talking nonsense... scream!"
"dad…"
"It feels special to call it that, doesn't it..."
