Hearing the word "friend", Zhong Tiancheng looked at Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun strangely.
He turned to look at Su Chen again. He was just an ordinary man. The only thing that stood out was that he looked pretty good.
But Zhong Tiancheng had never heard of a person like Su Chen in the capital.
Although he looks handsome and has a good temperament, what's the use?
At their level, making friends is no longer just about appearance, but more about status and money!
As long as you have status and money, even if you grow up to be a pig and a hyena, there will still be no shortage of complimentary people around you.
This is why Zhong Tiancheng is still very confident in himself despite his average height and appearance.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
An Xiaoyun noticed the flash of disdain in Zhong Tiancheng's eyes and narrowed her eyes in disgust.
Gu Qingshi was worried that they would have a conflict with the Zhong family before they entered the Zhong family, so she quickly stepped forward to stop An Xiaoyun, and explained to Zhong Tiancheng helplessly: "Mr. Zhong, Su Chen is indeed our friend, not a bodyguard."
Zhong Tiancheng frowned when he heard this, not wanting to continue arguing on this issue, and waved to the bodyguard beside him.
The two bodyguards were equally disdainful of Su Chen, but they still retreated to the sides honestly.
Under the leadership of Zhong Tiancheng, they went deep into the house and finally came to an elegant and quiet courtyard with mountains, water and water.
In the yard, a stooped old man with a white beard was sitting by the lake fishing. He looked dazed and swaying, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"My grandpa is right there."
Zhong Tiancheng turned around to explain to Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun, then looked at Su Chen with disgust and warned: "Don't talk nonsense for a while!"
Su Chen was too lazy to pay attention to such a young man with no status and no substance, so he turned to look at the courtyard.
The yard has obviously been carefully designed, both in terms of landscaping and feng shui.
Looking around, the whole place is quiet and comfortable, somewhat like an ancient courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.
Being in this courtyard, even An Xiaoyun unconsciously slowed down her steps.
Under the leadership of Zhong Tiancheng, Su Chen and the others slowly came to the back of Mr. Zhong, Zhong Jiaguo.
Seeing that Zhong Jiaguo didn't respond, Zhong Tiancheng took a step forward and whispered softly.
"Grandpa, I brought Miss Gu and the others over."
"Um?"
Zhong Jiaguo's white beard trembled, his eyes suddenly opened, and he turned back slightly confused.
After seeing Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun in the back, he suddenly showed a kind smile.
"Qingshi and Xiaoyun are here!"
"Grandpa Zhong."
Gu Qingshi nodded politely, and An Xiaoyun also shouted calmly.
In fact, the two of them were not familiar with Zhong Jiaguo.
But Zhong Jiaguo shouted so kindly, so it was hard for them to act too unfamiliar.
After chatting with Lu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun for a few more times and asking some questions about their family affairs, Zhong Jiaguo turned to look at Su Chen, with surprise on his old face.
"Who is this?"
Zhong Tiancheng sneered in his heart when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "His name is Su Chen, he is a friend of Miss Gu and Miss An!"
"friend?"
Hearing this, Zhong Jiaguo looked at Su Chen again, then touched his beard and laughed.
"This is my first time meeting you. I wonder where you are from?"
"Come from Jianghai."
Su Chen looked directly into Zhong Jiaguo's eyes and smiled nonchalantly: "I am the driver of Miss Lin Ruoxue of the Jianghai Lin family."
As soon as he said the word "driver", Zhong Jiaguo was immediately confused.
Zhong Jiaguo had thought that Su Chen's status might not be high, but he also didn't expect that he would be a driver!
Not to mention that he was the driver of a small family he had never heard of!
He didn't even remember where Jiang Hai was for a while!
In his heart, Zhong Tiancheng was even more disdainful of Su Chen, and also had some objections to Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun.
One of them is the daughter of the God of War in the North, and the other is the little princess who settled down in the capital. They actually made friends with a driver. Are you kidding me?
Aren't they afraid of embarrassing the God of War and An Jia?
But when he looked at Gu Qingshi's face, Zhong Tiancheng had less opinions on Gu Qingshi.
He quite liked Gu Qingshi's face, but it wasn't like he couldn't be more tolerant of Gu Qingshi.
As for An Xiaoyun...
Although she is very beautiful, she has a bad temper, which is very unpleasant.
If An Xiaoyun is willing to change her bad temper, he can also be accommodating.
In such a short period of time, Zhong Tiancheng had already begun to evaluate Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun in his heart, and even automatically classified Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun as his own women, wanting the two women to follow his own standards act.
He is only gentle and elegant on the surface, but his ambition is actually greater than anyone else.
However, Zhong Tiancheng hid his ambition very well, and only Zhong Jiaguo saw it, not even his parents knew about it.
"This friend you made is quite... special."
Zhong Jiaguo chuckled, then looked away from Su Chen, motioned for Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun to sit down, and said with a kind face, "Why did you come to me this time?"
"Actually, I have stopped caring about the Zhong family's affairs. If you want to find me, you might as well go to Zhifei."
The Zhifei mentioned by Zhong Jiaguo is Zhong Zhifei, the current head of the Zhong family, who is Zhong Tiancheng's father.
Lu Qingshi shook her head slightly, looked at Zhong Jiaguo sincerely and said, "What I want to ask for this time, only Grandpa Zhong can help me!"
"Oh?" Zhong Jiaguo narrowed his eyes with droopy eyelids and said with a smile: "You said, as long as I can help the old man, I will definitely help!"
Time was running out, and Lu Qingshi didn't bother to show off, so he simply stated the purpose of his trip directly.
"I came to you to ask for the use of the mutton-fat white jade box in your hand!"
The moment Lu Qingshi said these words, a hint of vigilance appeared in Zhong Jiaguo's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. Only Su Chen noticed the change in his eyes.
The main reason is that only Zhong Jiaguo himself, Zhong Zhifei and Zhong Tiancheng and his son knew about the existence of this jade box. Gu Qingshi, an outsider, had no reason to know.
"Haha, I wonder where Qing Shi heard that I have such a jade box?"
The tone of Zhong Jiaguo's inquiry changed subtly.
Zhong Tiancheng who was on the side quietly shook his head at him to express that he had never said that, and looked at Gu Qingshi warily.
Gu Qingshi bit her lip lightly, but in the end she did not say that Su Chen had told her the news, only that it was a friend who informed her.
Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Zhong Jiaguo's eyes darkened, but he didn't continue to ask, but nodded frankly.
"I have such a jade box in my hand, but this box is very precious, so I'm afraid I can't lend it to you..."
Gu Qingshi's heart tightened, and she couldn't restrain her emotions for a while, with a look of eagerness on her face.
"I really need this box, so please give it to Mr. Zhong! I can also provide Mr. Zhong with a sum of money to rent it!"
"If Mr. Zhong is willing to lend me this box, I will treat it carefully and never damage it! If it is damaged..."
The look on her brows slightly condensed, and she continued in a deep voice: "If it gets damaged, Mr. Zhong, you can say whatever you want, and I'll give you any compensation!"
Gu Nantian's return to Beijing in critical condition was a secret, and the news had been blocked.
Except for the people in the ward that day, no one else knew.
Therefore, Lu Qingshi could only try to express his eagerness at this time, and could not explain the reason for borrowing the jade box to Zhong Jiaguo.
