Chapter 162 To Meet You

Someone was training downstairs, and during the training, he greeted Gu Lanting and also called his sister-in-law.

His voice was loud and vigorous.

Yuan Xiao blushed.

Gu Lanting threw down two bags of things, "You can divide them among yourselves."

"Thank you, Captain, thank you, sister-in-law!"

Gu Lanting led Yuan Xiao upstairs. He lived in a single dormitory on the second floor.

His dormitory was the same as him, simple and meticulous.

Yuan Xiao sat on the single bed, and he poured a cup of hot water and put it in Yuan Xiao's hand to warm her hands.

"The store is open?"

Yuan Xiao nodded, "It opened yesterday, but I have a store opposite me that is being renovated. They also said it will be a department store. I guess they want to compete with us."

This was revealed to her by Lan's mother.

She guessed that Bai Hua wanted to make things difficult for her.

But Yuan Xiao thought that he was overthinking it.

Gu Lanting smiled, "That's because they overestimate their own abilities."

"Are you free next weekend?"

Yuan Xiao said yes.

"My grandma wants to see you."

Yuan Xiao suddenly became a little nervous, "So soon?"

"What does grandma like? Do I need to prepare anything? What kind of girl does she like? Let me see if I can pretend?"

Gu Lanting valued grandma more, so Yuan Xiao subconsciously separated grandma from Bai Hua.

The importance of the two is naturally different.

Gu Lanting pushed her over and said, "Grandma wants to see her grandson's wife, so you can just go there. As for what she likes, she especially likes sweets, but she needs to control her sugar intake as she gets older."

He spoke softly and told Yuan Xiao a lot about grandma.

Grandma is over seventy years old this year, a lady from a prominent family, and a good match for Grandpa Gu.

But when Grandpa Gu was young, he was frivolous and unruly. He didn't like arranged marriages and once thought that his marriage to grandma was a feudal dregs.

In the name of seeking freedom, he took a concubine.

Although grandma was a lady from a prominent family, she was independent-minded and couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes, so she divorced Grandpa Gu.

In that era, women had to use up all their courage to divorce their husbands.

What happened next was bloody. Grandpa Gu suddenly repented and tried to keep grandma.

But grandma never got back together with him until his death.

After decades of wandering, grandma lived alone.

But there is actually a very realistic point involved here.

Grandma's decision required financial support.

She was a lady from a wealthy family, and she had a rich dowry when she got married, which was enough to support her life without worries.

Looking at Wang Yazhi, if Yuan Xiao was weaker, their lives would have been struggling in the mud.

Yuan Xiao suddenly looked forward to seeing grandma.

After talking about grandma, Gu Lanting's aura suddenly changed, and it became a little dull and oppressive.

"There is some bad news I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Yuan Xiao looked up at him.

Gu Lanting's eyes were dark, and he looked at her steadily, "Cheng Feng, ran away."

Yuan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, she almost forgot about this person!

She didn't know where Cheng Feng was sent by Gu Lanting, but someone was definitely keeping a close eye on her.

She opened her mouth and found her throat a little dry, "ran away, what do you mean?"

"Someone has found her whereabouts in Yunnan, but they are not sure. She suddenly disappeared overnight, and our people searched for a long time before they found some clues."

Cheng Feng gave him a feeling that was a bit weird.

You say she is smart and almost like a demon, but she always does stupid things and doesn't look very smart.

You say she is stupid, but she can always escape in an emergency.

Yuan Xiao called out to the single dog in her heart, "Is there any way to find out where Cheng Feng is?"

The single dog said with some sadness, "I'm sorry, host... there's no way."

The validity period of the divine eye had long passed.

Yuan Xiao regained his composure and asked Gu Lanting, "What should we do now?"

Gu Lanting held her hand, "This is what I wanted to tell you. What we found in Yunnan is not only Cheng Feng, but also the hidden line behind Chang Long. I may have to go there."

Speaking of Chang Long, this is also a tough one.

Yuan Xiao's eyebrows were covered with worry, "Nothing will happen, right?"

She suddenly realized that Gu Lanting was not a civil servant sitting in an office, he was a warrior who needed to be on standby at all times.

Wherever there is danger, there will be him.

He rested his forehead against hers, and they looked into each other's eyes, "Xiaoxiao, I can't promise you that nothing will happen to me, but I promise you that I will try my best to protect myself."

Yuan Xiao stretched his hand out from his sleeve and raised his little finger, "Then let's hook up."

He hooked her tiny finger and chuckled.

Yuan Xiao kissed him on the face, "Well, it's stamped, you are not allowed to break the contract. If you don't come back safely, I will marry someone else."

Gu Lanting kissed her red lips, "I won't let you have the opportunity to marry someone else."

Before going to see grandma, Gu Lanting also solved a problem for Yuan Xiao.

About Qin Qin.

Gu Lanting found out the nanny who took Qin Qin away.

The nanny was called Fan Fang, and she was not from Beijing.

She came to Beijing to find her relatives, and the person she was looking for was her cousin Gao Fen.

Gao Fen had an ex-husband whose sister was also the nanny of the Pei family, but she was from the second branch of the Pei family, that is, Pei Yuwan's family.

The Pei family can be said to be more masculine than feminine. The grandfather of the Pei family has five sons and eight grandsons.

Before Qin Qin was born, the Pei family only had one girl, Pei Yuwan, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the apple of the eye.

Even Bai Yan loved Pei Yuwan as if she were her own daughter.

But everything changed after Qin Qin was born.

She was cute and fair, especially in front of Master Pei, she was particularly spoiled.

"So, it was Pei Yuwan who did this?"

Gu Lanting smiled sarcastically, "The second branch of the Pei family must know about it."

They might want to get rid of Qin Qin even more than Pei Yuwan.

Yuan Xiao was a little worried and didn't want Qin Qin to go back.

After arriving in the capital, she wanted to send Qin Qin to kindergarten.

But on the first day, she cried and didn't want to go.

Yuan Xiao hardened her heart and sent her there.

But the teacher said that she didn't speak a word all day.

Yuan Xiao regretted it and kept Qin Qin at home, and didn't dare to send her to kindergarten again.

How could she bear to send Qin Qin like this back to the Pei family?

"The brothers of the fifth branch of the Pei family are relatively clean, but the second branch is a little more cunning."

Gu Lanting's evaluation of the Pei family is actually quite high.

After all, there are many families in the capital that are engaged in internal strife.

Yuan Xiao frowned and asked, "Then what do you think I should do now?"

Before Gu Lanting answered, Yuan Xiao had a blaming expression, "Qinqin is your cousin, how could you not recognize her?"

Gu Lanting smiled bitterly, "I was on a mission when she was born. She was in her cradle, I took a quick look at her, and then hurriedly left the capital. Not to mention what she looked like, I didn't even know her name." Yuan Xiao

tilted his head, "By the way, why did you leave the capital and go to Qushui County to be a small public security officer?"

"To meet you."

Yuan Xiao hit him, "I'm serious."

Gu Lanting's expression was gloomy, "I'm serious too."

"Xiaoxiao, I was exiled in Qushui County, and I used up all my luck to meet you."
