Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 542 Who knows...

Gu Juncheng frowned.

Lanxiang's first reaction upon seeing him was to hide behind a pillar, but Gu Juncheng stood still, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through the pillar.

Lanxiang lingered behind the pillar for a while, but eventually succumbed to its intimidating presence and reluctantly emerged from behind it, walking up to Gu Juncheng.

"Brother Chengzi..." Lanxiang began, tears welling up in her eyes as soon as she opened her mouth.

Gu Juncheng felt a surge of annoyance. What was she crying about? He really got annoyed whenever someone cried; he had absolutely no patience for it. Besides, why was this person even here?

"Didn't I tell you to go back?" Gu Juncheng stood in front of Lanxiang, determined not to allow his mother to have any contact with her again. As for Lanxiang, hadn't his older sister bought her a train ticket and sent her back?

“Brother Chengzi, I…” Lanxiang said with red eyes, “I…I want to come see my aunt again.”

"No need to look, she's fine." Gu Juncheng's voice was as cold and hard as a stone on a snowy day.

Lanxiang couldn't find anything to say, and stood in front of Gu Juncheng, refusing to leave.

Gu Juncheng couldn't pull her away, and he had to stay as far away from her as possible. There had already been one misunderstanding, and they absolutely couldn't afford another.

He decided to return to the ward. If Lanxiang left, then everything would be fine. If Lanxiang wanted to come along, Gu Youlian would have to pull her away.

However, Lanxiang called out to him again, "Brother Chengzi!"

He frowned, turned around and said coldly, "Don't call me Brother Chengzi anymore. I only have one older sister, no younger sister, and I've never met you before."

Lanxiang panicked, "How could you not have seen it before? When I was little..."

“I never met you when you were a child, and my family has absolutely no connection with yours,” Gu Juncheng interrupted her rudely.

Lanxiang bit her lip, her eyes red, "Then...then why did you speak to me so kindly when I mentioned last time that I had visited your house when I was little?"

She thought that because they had interacted before, he would treat her better! Now he's so cold again!

What could Gu Juncheng say?

His mother brought someone from her hometown to settle in his sister's house, saying that Gu Youlian had become successful, and his mother brought someone from her own village to follow Gu Youlian and find a job. If all else failed, the girl was good at housework and could help with cooking and cleaning at Gu Youlian's house.

Gu Juncheng listened and then dismissed it, not taking it to heart at all, and didn't even bother to see what Lanxiang looked like. Why should he? She was just there to work at his sister's house; what did it have to do with him?

Furthermore, his mother didn't have a good impression of Lin Qingping, so he didn't tell Lin Qingping about this.

As a result, his mother kept praising Lanxiang in front of him, saying that since he and Gu Youlian were not in their hometown, she and his father were fortunate to have Lanxiang to take care of them, otherwise, they would be too old to do many things.

He only spoke to Lanxiang after hearing these words. No matter what, he was still his parents' son, and it was his responsibility to repay their kindness in raising him. Now that a distant relative was taking care of his parents like a daughter, he couldn't keep up a long face without saying thank you.

Then Lanxiang said that she had met Gu when she was a child and came to play at the Gu family's house.

He didn't remember anything, but he still gave his mother's distant relative a friendly look.

He really thought they were relatives, but who knew they weren't!

It wasn't until his mother tearfully told him that she had been kicked out by his older sister that he took his parents and this distant relative to a place to live, and he paid the rent.

Even at this point, he still thought Lanxiang was a relative. Since his mother liked her so much, he thought he should trouble Lanxiang to continue to stay with his mother.
