Chapter 212: The Filter of Motherly Love Shattered

Annan curled his lips, thinking it was a beautiful idea, not leaving out either side.

"sure."

Her main purpose was to let Chu Peipei discover Chu Xiaoguai's abnormality. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she no longer delved into the topic.

Chu Xiaoguai continued to be fooled by Gu Zhiyu and talked, while Chu Peipei watched him thoughtfully.

Annan interrupted a few times during the conversation, but except for the one about adopting her, Chu Xiaoguai ignored the rest.

Annan leaned close to Chu Peipei's ear and said in a tea-smelling voice:

"Sister Peipei, Xiaoguai doesn't seem to like me very much?"

Chu Peipei wanted to say, how could that be? But looking at Chu Xiaoguai's cheerful face, she couldn't say it.

She frowned and lowered her voice: "Nannan, why do I feel that this child is weird?"

Annan glanced at her and asked, "What do you think is strange?"

Chu Peipei: “I can’t say…”

At this moment, a burst of sweet laughter came to my ears.

"Haha, Brother Gu, you are so awesome!"

Chu Peipei suddenly realized: "She seems like a dead green tea!"

Annan burst out laughing: "This is the first time I've heard someone use this word to describe a child."

Chu Peipei frowned: "She wasn't like this when she was with me."

Annan asked in a guiding way: "How can a child have two faces?"

"child……"

Chu Peipei's motherly love filter finally cracked: "Nannan, why do I feel a little cold on my back?"

On the other side, Chu Xiaoguai, who had been talking for a long time, finally came back to his senses from Gu Zhiyu's beauty.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Annan smiled and continued, "They said you are more mature than the average kid."

Chu Xiaoguai immediately became alert.

She took two seconds to react, then tilted her head: "No way? Xiaoguai will always be mommy's little baby."

This kid likes to tilt his head?

Annan thought to himself that he was not half as lovable as the rich and powerful.

Chu Peipei did not reply out of the ordinary. Chu Xiaoguai rubbed his fingers and was about to say something else when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a hint of green on Annan's neck.

"Aunt Nannan, what is that?"

Annan looked down in the direction she pointed and found that it was his jade necklace that was sticking out from his clothes.

She rolled her eyes and pulled out the necklace.

"This is my aunt's necklace."

Annan looked at Chu Peipei: "Sister Peipei, guess how much this necklace costs?"

Chu Peipei replied: "I don't understand jadeite..."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked curiously, "Is this a gift from Mr. Gu?"

Annan put on a happy little woman's look and said, "Yes! I said no, no, but he insisted on giving it to me!"

Then he glanced at Chu Xiaoguai out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, a hint of jealousy flashed across the girl's eyes, and the cute and innocent expression on her face almost disappeared.

Gu Zhiyu stood aside and held back his laughter as he watched Annan show off in a pretentious manner.

Chu Peipei didn't notice the undercurrent and just focused on her CP:

"I knew it! He even asked me what I like before. Sure enough, he gave you such a beautiful jadeite as a gift!"

Annan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Zhiyu.

This time his tone was much more sincere: "Are you asking specifically?"

Gu Zhiyu looked back at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

Chu Peipei said excitedly, "Yes! You two weren't together at that time!"

Annan stroked the necklace around his neck and was lost in thought for a moment.

At this time, Chu Peipei remembered her previous question: "By the way, how much did you say this necklace is?"

Only then did Annan remember his purpose.

She blinked at Pei Pei and said, "Guess."

Chu Peipei thought about it and thought that Mr. Gu was so rich and valued Nan Nan very much, so it must be correct to guess high.

So he asked, "One million?"

She couldn't even think about buying a necklace worth one million, but since he was the president, he could definitely afford it.

Annan shook his head: "No."

Chu Peipei: “Is it much different?”

Annan: “Very different.”

Chu Peipei thought to herself, yes, no matter how rich you are, there is no need to hang half a house around your neck.

She glanced at Gu Zhiyu and felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have guessed the price so high just now. This made Mr. Gu lose face.

So he lowered the price a little more: "One hundred thousand?"

Annan glanced at Chu Xiaoguai, who had been listening attentively the entire time, and said, "You got it wrong. It's more than three million."

Chu Peipei stared: "Huh??"

She couldn't imagine the world of the rich!

"Nannan, don't make me guess. I have no idea about this kind of thing."

Annan saw that the secret was almost sold out, so he revealed the answer: "80 million."

Before Chu Peipei could say anything, Chu Xiaoguai screamed:

"Eighty million?!"

The three people's eyes immediately fell on her.

Chu Xiaoguai finally realized his own mistake and cleared his throat:

"Xiaoguai doesn't understand, eight thousand or eighty thousand?"

Annan smiled secretly in his heart.

Just now you were chatting with others knowing everything about the past and present, but now you can't tell what 80 million means?

A fox's tail cannot be hidden at all.

If it weren't for her cute appearance, Chu Xiaoguai would actually be quite stupid.

Annan glanced at Chu Peipei secretly, and sure enough, her expression was obviously not very good.

An Nan explained to Chu Xiaoguai: "80 million means eight thousand ten thousand. It can buy about 26 houses like the one I live in now."

Her description was extremely specific, successfully causing Chu Xiaoguai's innocent and cute expression to begin to break.

So Annan added more firewood: "Eh? Now that you mention it, my neck suddenly feels a little heavy?"

Chu Peipei was amused by her expression: "Yes, yes, who wouldn't feel heavy if they had more than 20 houses hanging around their necks?"

Annan smiled.

At times like these, it is difficult to hide one's true nature.

Sister Pepe was happy for her as always, but the little darling seemed to want to eat her.

Are you too lazy to manage your facial expressions?

She immediately guided Chu Peipei to look at her: "Xiaoguai, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Peipei turned her head and saw Chu Xiaoguai's expression which he had not yet had time to retract.

Jealousy, viciousness, hatred... these are not expressions a child should have.

Chu Peipei's heart shuddered.

Hearing Annan's question, Chu Xiaoguai reacted immediately and acted harmless again:

"I'm fine! I just feel so good about how good Brother Gu is to me."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "I won't argue with you about this."

Chu Xiaoguai: ...

The girl rolled her eyes and suddenly pointed at the necklace on Annan's neck and said:

“But this necklace makes me look old.”

Annan raised an eyebrow.

Is this the age that starts to attack her?

She didn't say anything, just looked at the other person with a smile.

Chu Xiaoguai was a little scared. He turned around to look at Gu Zhiyu and found that his complexion was even worse than Annan's.

So she looked at Chu Peipei somewhat awkwardly, waiting for her mother to say “Children’s words are innocent” for her.

But Chu Peipei was angrier than anyone else: "How can you talk like that?!"
