Chapter 91: He and Gu Qingluan Actually Had a Good Relationship?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Lushi Auction House has a well-established reputation, being the leading auction house in Cloud Plains Continent. Shouldn’t we consider raising the standards for selecting guests?”
Lu Banian s heart suddenly sank, a sense of unease enveloping him.
“Mr. Liu, our Lu family…”
Liu Meng raised his hand to silence him. “Allowing noisy, arrogant, disrespectful, and ignorant individuals into the auction house would only hinder the experience of other clients. In my opinion, such people should be removed from the VIP guest list. What do you think, Young Master Lu?”
Lu Banian looked at him in astonishment.
Those characteristics didn’t match up with Miss Gu. What did Mr. Liu mean?
Gu Jinyue vaguely sensed that something was off, but at this moment, she was consumed by excitement and didn’t think much of it. She proudly raised her chin and looked disdainfully, saying, “Young Master Lu, Mr. Liu is only looking out for the best interests of your Lushi Auction House. You must not disappoint his good intentions.”
-pfft!”
Gu Qingluan burst into laughter.
Gu Jinyue glanced at her. “What are you laughing at?”
“Noisy, arrogant, disrespectful, and ignorant. Isn’t that precisely describing you?” Gu Qingluan touched her chin, smiling as she assessed Gu Jinyue from head to toe.
Gu Jinyue’s expression twisted slightly. “Gu Qingluan! Mr. Liu is an esteemed guest of our Gu family. Naturally, he was referring to you!”
Lu Banian looked at everyone and suddenly had a thought. “Mr. Liu, could you provide an example?”
“Looming on the distant horizon, yet within arm’s reach,” Liu Meng cast a glance at Gu Jinyue, his smile lacking sincerity.
Everyone present noticed that when he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Gu Jinyue, not Gu Qingluan.
This was truly unimaginable!
Gu Jinyue’s expression turned rigid. “Mr. Liu, are you joking?”
Other members of the Gu family also sensed that something was off and spoke up.
“Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this?”
“Mr. Liu, has my daughter done something to upset you? If she has done wrong, she will apologize to you.” Gu Zhixin glared at Gu Jinyue and urged, “Apologize to Mr. Liu immediately!”
Gu Jinyue looked utterly confused.
What did she do wrong?
All she did was invite Mr. Liu to the auction house. There were no signs of him being upset before. Why did he suddenly direct his hostility towards her?
“Hurry up!” Gu Jinrong urged her.
Gu Jinyue desperately tried to comprehend how she had angered Liu Meng, but couldn’t find an answer. However, in order to hold onto this opportunity, she quickly offered an apology.
Liu Meng remained indifferent. “Disappearing from my sight would be the greatest sincerity.”
So, he really wanted her to leave!
Gu Jinyue felt deeply aggrieved.
She had always been respectful towards Mr. Liu, so why was he treating her this way?
Then she noticed Liu Meng approaching Gu Qingluan.
He smiled faintly at Gu Qingluan. “Miss Gu, how have you been lately?”
“I’m fine.”
The way he interacted with Gu Qingluan clearly indicated familiarity!
Witnessing Liu Meng’s genuine smile towards Gu Qingluan, which was much warmer than before, everyone was left in shock.
So, Mr. Liu and Gu Qingluan actually had a good relationship?
What was the intention behind Mr. Liu staying in the second branch of the Gu family then?
Did he not know about the conflicts between the Gu family and Gu Qingluan?
When it came to astonishment, the members of the Gu family were the most stunned.
The expressions of the Gu family members present changed drastically. It was difficult for them to accept the scene that they had witnessed with their own eyes.
Gu Zhixin took two steps forward. “Mr. Liu, have you forgotten that Gu Qingluan is no longer a member of the Gu family, and we are on bad terms with her?”
Liu Meng furrowed his brows and gave him a cold glance. “Naturally, 1 haven’t forgotten.”
“Then, why are you…”
How did he end up chatting with Gu Qingluan?!
Liu Meng remained calm. “As you can see, Gu Qingluan and I are friends.”
Gu Qingluan wouldn’t hold him responsible if he were to declare them as friends, right?
Liu Meng discreetly glanced at Gu Qingluan, and seeing no signs of displeasure on her face, the tension in his heart eased.
Gu Zhixin’s body swayed slightly, finding it hard to believe.. “You are in cahoots with her?”
