Cheng Xiran smiled at him and personally poured him a cup of fruit tea. "Young Master Qian, you're here. Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Qian Youliang sat down opposite her as if seeking credit, then chuckled and said, "Xiran, have you heard about what happened today?"
Seeing Cheng Xiran nod, he quickly asked, "Then what do you think of what I did? Was it quick and decisive?"
Cheng Xiran nodded non - stop without showing much emotion on her face.
Qian Youliang seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted. With a smile still on his face, he picked up the tea cup in front of him. After taking just one sip, he was full of surprise. "This is the fruit tea made by Miss Ruoyue. How come you have it here, Xiran?"
Right, it was not strange that he knew Ruoyue.
Cheng Xiran didn't hide it and said truthfully, "This was given to me by Young Master Xue Lianyu. He is a friend of Miss Ruoyue. I heard him mention last time that this was a gift from Miss Ruoyue."
Qian Youliang let out a non - committal "hmm", took two more sips and then put down the cup. "I happened to meet Young Master Xue a few times when I went to Huayan Pavilion. He's really a man of true feelings. We can be considered friends."
If what he said was true, Cheng Xiran decided to give Xue Lianyu a good lecture later. How could he be friends with someone like Qian Youliang? She felt disgusted just thinking about it!
Even though there was already a storm in Cheng Xiran's eyes, her face remained calm as usual. "Really? Young Master Xue has been busy these two days, and I haven't seen him. I'll definitely ask him when I see him later."
Qian Youliang didn't seem interested in Xue Lianyu. Instead, he kept talking about the details of what he had done today, telling them to Cheng Xiran in great detail. He even said things like how those people beat Gu Yuanqing, how hard they hit, how they deliberately kicked a few more times on his handsome face, and how they didn't use a knife to prevent Lord Qian from knowing, otherwise Gu Yuanqing would have died long ago.
Cheng Xiran suddenly felt nauseous. She regretted having eaten a meat pancake before seeing him. She could only keep drinking tea to suppress the nausea in her heart.
Qian Youliang was a bit slow - witted. It took him a while to notice. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I forgot that you're a girl. I regarded you as a brother, so I told you these gory things. Don't worry. As long as you help me get Zhiyue, I won't treat you badly."
Cheng Xiran deliberately avoided his inquiring gaze and just grinned stupidly. "It's my honor if I can help Young Master Qian. We're all friends. Don't mention treating me well or badly."
"Okay, I'm very happy today. Since we've mentioned Ruoyue, I suddenly realized that I haven't seen her for a while. I'll go buy some delicious and fun things for her. She loves these things on weekdays."
Qian Youliang was really frank. This was true. But his frankness towards anyone must be based on his own capital.
Cheng Xiran got up and saw him off to the door. After he walked away in his bright clothes, she rushed to the backyard to vomit.
"I'll never eat pancakes again!"
The shopkeeper was speechless and just let out several sighs.
After she felt a bit better, Cheng Xiran went to the second floor. She hadn't checked the operation of the newspaper office for a few days, so she started to check the accounts. But after only a short while, she heard a rush of footsteps.
She originally thought it was something important, but soon, a child holding five sugar - coated haws suddenly appeared in front of her.
She saw him take out an envelope from his waist with some difficulty and then hand it to Cheng Xiran's desk. He slightly opened his pink lips, showing his incomplete teeth, and said softly, "Sister, a big brother asked me to give this to you."
Cheng Xiran opened it in front of him and saw a bold and powerful line of words on the paper: "There's still a good show waiting for you at Huayan Pavilion tonight."
This was not He Lianduo's handwriting.
