Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Chapter 123: A Special Guest

Yan Zhengchen pulled out a chair and gestured for him to sit.

After Gong Lu sat down, he reached out and helped him take off his tie.

“How many times have I told you? Be more casual at home,” Yan Zhengchen said nonchalantly as he looked at Gong Lu.

Gong Lu was used to dressing appropriately in front of others, so he was usually dressed neatly in a suit and tie most of the time.
Yan Zhengchen felt tired for him.

Gong Lu also felt a little stuffy.
He casually unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, revealing his exquisite collarbones.

“What is it that you can’t say in front of Gu Xia and Shen Liao?” Gong Lu asked.

“It’s regarding Quan Jue.
Gu Xia and Ah Liao are still too immature.
We shouldn’t let them know about this.
I’ve investigated the boy’s background.
He’s the illegitimate son of the Quan family.”

Gong Lu looked up in surprise.
“You’re talking about the Quan family in Shang Jing?”

That was a family that even the Gong family was inferior to.

How did a family member of the Quan family end up in White City?

Yan Zhengchen nodded.
“Yes, Quan Jue knows he’s a member of the Quan family as well.”

He found out that the Quan family had once sent someone to White City to look for Quan Jue.
But for some reason, Quan Jue didn’t return to his family in Shang Jing.

When he thought about this, a playful look appeared in Yan Zhengchen’s eyes.

He felt that this young man was not as simple as they imagined.

“If he can become the head of the Quan family in the future, he can be considered as barely worthy of Jiaojiao,” Gong Lu said with a smile.

Yan Zhengchen nodded in agreement.
“Anyway, Quan Jue isn’t a simple person.
He has the blood of the Quan family flowing in him, so there are many possibilities in the future.
You’re the closest to Jiaojiao.
She would usually tell you what’s on her mind.
You have to pay more attention to her and Quan Jue’s situation.
No matter what, as long as Quan Jue dares to harm Jiaojiao, we have to be the first to know.”

“Of course,” Gong Lu answered without hesitation.

“It’s getting late.” Yan Zhengchen looked at his watch.
“Rest early.
My room is quieter.
You can sleep here.”

Gong Lu looked at him strangely.
“Where are you sleeping, then?”

“This is a double bed.” Yan Zhengchen pointed at the large bed.
“Let’s make do for the night.
I’ll get someone to clean the room with the best soundproofing upstairs for you tomorrow.”

Gong Lu’s requirements for a good sleep were outrageously high.
There had to be no noise at all, and the bed had to be comfortable.

Currently, the only room in the manor that fulfilled his sleeping requirements was Yan Zhengchen’s.

Gong Lu was indeed very tired.
He yawned and said, “I’ll go take a shower first.”

…

The Lan family held a banquet today to celebrate the company’s 100th anniversary.

The banquet was held at the Jun Zhou Hotel.
A line of luxury cars kept stopping by in front of the five-star hotel.

The bright hall was as gorgeous as a palace, and elegant piano music flowed through the air.
Accompanied by the sound of people chatting, the entire hall seemed very lively.

Lan Yunhan was currently talking to Lan Guanlin as his gaze occasionally swept over to the hall’s entrance.

“With our family and friends here today, take this opportunity to make things clear to the Chi family and cancel your engagement with Chi Jiao.” Lan Guanlin reminded him.
“Since Yanyan is shying away because of Chi Jiao, then let’s just get rid of this problem.”

Lan Yunhan nodded before saying to him, “Grandpa, I’ve also invited a rather special guest today.”

“Who is it?” Lan Guanlin asked curiously.
