C22 Gu Family

"Let's go."

The ancient city opened the car door and stretched out a hand to hold her hand. Ning Anlan subconsciously wanted to throw him off, but when he saw his gaze sweeping towards the few figures at the door, he restrained himself.

The Gu family wasn't made of steel, she couldn't embarrass the ancient city in this place.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Her calm voice was like a pill that had been given to her to calm down. The pressure in her heart instantly dissipated by more than half and she was no longer as depressed.

"Mm. Alright."

Ning Anlan raised his head and let the ancient city lead her through the front yard. There was not a single flaw in the smile on his face.

The old man sat on the sofa at the end of the carpet. When he saw the ancient city enter, a hint of a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Grandfather, this is your grandson's wife, An Lan."

Ning Anlan had seen much of the world since he was young, so he didn't feel that anything was amiss. He walked up generously to greet the Old Master of the Gu family.

"Hello, Grandpa Gu."

Ning Anlan had put in all his effort into buying a present for their first meeting. When he heard that the old gramps liked antiques, he'd specially bought a pair of ornate walnuts.

Now that he saw the old man's amiable expression, he knew that he had made the right bet. The Gu family did not lack valuable gifts, they lacked only intentions.

"Ah Cheng, take a seat." A trace of admiration flashed across the old man's eyes as he looked at Ning Anlan. He had asked about Ning Xuemo's hobby even before meeting her in advance. This little girl from the Ning family was not simple at all.

"This gift is a bit petty, right?" Just as the two of them sat down, they heard a disdainful voice come from behind the old man.

The ancient city sat upright on a chair and shook Ning Anlan's hand, indicating that she wasn't nervous. It was as if they had long since guessed that this person would appear.

Ning Anlan's eyes dimmed. This man in the wheelchair was most likely the second uncle of the ancient city, Gu Hua Rong.

"The gift is for me. As long as I like it." When the old man heard this voice, he frowned, obviously displeased. "Go back to your room and stay there. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

"Second Uncle, why are you in the mood to come out today?" The ancient city's smile was as warm as jade.

"Let's see if the Ning Family's daughter is qualified to be our Gu Family's daughter-in-law." Gu Hua Rong didn't dare contradict the old man, but he didn't have any scruples with his juniors. He looked at Ning An Lan with disdain.

Although the Ning Family and the Gu Family were on par with the Four Great Families, everyone knew that for a new force like the Ning Family, there was no one who could compare with the Gu Family.

"Shut up!"

Before the ancient city could speak, the old man spoke again. He was really dissatisfied with his son. His health was not good, but his temper was very bad.

Gu Hua Rong was a bit embarrassed after being lectured by the old tutor.

Seeing that the ancient city didn't have any plans to ease the awkwardness, Ning Anlan tactfully shut his mouth. This Second Uncle was rumored to be extremely jealous, so there was no need to argue with him.

"Ah Cheng is back?" Following closely behind was a woman with a gentle voice who calmly walked in front of the wheelchair, "This must be Miss Ning, right? You are indeed a beautiful girl, Ah Cheng has eyes! "

Gu Hua Rong's wife, Wan Xiu Ru.

Ning Anlan smiled. "Greetings, Second Young Madam." Speak, and look at the expression of Gu Hua Rong who had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. He lamented that this second master was too narrow-minded.

With such a fickle heart and cunning fox-like person, it was no wonder that Wan Xiuru had raised a man in her previous life and put him on a big green hat.

Gu Xian'er was not Gu Hua Rong's biological daughter, so other than Wan Xiu Ru, only Ning An Lan knew the answer to this riddle.

Ning Anlan narrowed his eyes. There wasn't a single person in this room who was simple.

"Push me upstairs!"

Second Master Gu furrowed his brows and looked at Old Man Gu and the other two. He felt very dazzling, as if they were a family and he was an outsider, so he felt very uncomfortable.

His tone was extremely harsh and his attitude was even worse than a servant towards Wan Xiuru.

Wan Xiu Ru didn't say anything and just walked silently behind Second Master Gu and pushed his wheelchair upstairs.

The ancient residence had specially installed an elevator, presumably for Second Master Gu's convenience.

They chatted for a while longer, and Ning Anlan realized that the Old Master was actually not as hard to get along with as the rumors said.

"Despicable." "People!" Wan Xiu Ru pushed Second Master Gu into the bedroom. One second, Second Master Gu was calmly closing the door, and the next, his expression turned ferocious.
