Chapter 170: Ordinary Friends, Ordinary Gifts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Master Wei didn’t know who exactly Chen Shulan invited and was shocked to find out that there were still guests who hadn’t arrived. “Who’s Xiao Gu?”
“He’s Ran Ran’s friend.” Chen Shulan smiled and looked towards the door. “Ran Ran, you’d better ask him.”
Qin Ran picked up her chopsticks and glanced at Cheng Juan, and then towards Lu Zhaoying. She whispered, “Grandma, you called him too?”
“Him” evidently referred to Gu Xichi.
Cheng Juan and the rest were around, so she didn’t mention his full name.
“Yup, Xiao Gu is all alone in Yun Cheng.” Chen Shulan smiled.
Qin Ran propped her chin using her hand.
“I’ll go outside to make a call.” She took her cell phone and said softly.
Cheng Juan did not move. He simply turned to her and said, “Go ahead.”
There were two tables in the private room, so there was constant movement.
Lu Zhaoying saw that Qin Ran left, so he poured a glass of alcohol for Chen Shulan and Master Wei for a toast.
He also didn’t leave.
He sat in Qin Ran’s seat and asked Cheng Juan, “Qin Ran has other friends?”
She had more friends than expected.
Cheng Juan scooped some vegetables and casually replied, “I don’t know.”
Lu Zhaoying wasn’t too bothered by his patronizing response. What he wanted to do most was to speak to Qin Ran and ask her how she had suddenly learned to play the violin and was actually worshipping Master Wei as a teacher!
“This friend of hers who hasn’t arrived has the surname Gu. That’s the same surname as Jiang Dongye’s arch-enemy,” Lu Zhaoying suddenly said.
Of course, he was just making a remark. He wasn’t really drawing a connection between the two of them.
Gu Xichi’s movements were odd and unusual. Based on Jiang Dongye’s description, he had a lot of dealings with the Interpol and the Diamond mafia.
He usually hung out at war zones, which was why Lu Zhaoying found it unbelievable that he saw Gu Xichi in Yun Cheng previously.
Master Wei called Uncle Hai over when he realized that Qin Ran still had a friend who hadn’t arrived.
Uncle Hai looked shocked.
Master Wei smiled and then tapped on the table. “Go to the entrance of the hotel and wait there. Ran Ran still has a friend coming, by the surname Gu.”
“Xiao Gu’s a young pretty good-looking chap.” Chen Shulan tried describing him.
Uncle Hai nodded and headed out.
He dared not slow down or slack off, knowing that that was Qin Ran’s friend.
He had thought that Qin Ran’s friends would just be ordinary students.
But Feng Loucheng’s arrival threw him off, and Cheng Juan’s and Lu Zhaoying’s appearance shocked him even further.
While waiting for the elevator, Uncle Hai even thought long and hard about the surname Gu in the capital.
