Chapter 58

He leaned back loosely on the chair, his slender fingertips resting on the armrest, tapping lightly.

Gu Huaichen was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Pei Nanjian?"

"Why are you here?"

When did this guy return to China? Why didn't he know about this?
Pei Nanjian glanced at Gu Huaichen lightly and said nothing to him.

When Luo Xin heard what Pei Nanjian said, his expression suddenly turned cold.

However, he still had a polite smile on his face and said, "Does Mr. Pei have any misunderstanding about me? The relationship between Sheng Wan and I is not what you described."

"Did Sheng Wan say something to you that made you prejudiced against me?"

Pei Nanjian squinted his eyes lazily, with amusement and inquiry on his face. After looking at Luo Xin for a long time, he spoke with a hint of malice.

"Misunderstanding? There is really no misunderstanding. Am I not telling the truth? This is the kind of person you are."

"Don't Miss Luo have a bodhisattva heart? Even an adopted son of the Luo family would have his heart broken. The Luo family is really lucky to have you."

Pei Nanjian did not hide the ridicule in his tone at all.

He lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Luo Xin, then snorted against his unruly face.

When Pei Nanjian said this, Luo Xin's face suddenly became angry.

"The affairs of our Luo family have nothing to do with you, Mr. Pei, right? Xiaochen is my younger brother. I care about what happens to him. Is there any problem with this?"

"Of course there is no problem, but if you take care of Sheng Wan, there will be a problem."

Pei Nanjian leaned back on the chair lazily, his long legs crossed together, and he sneered contemptuously.

"Since Uncle Sheng passed away, Xiaowan's life has not been going well in the past few years. Now that I'm back, I can't let people continue to bully her."

"Who bullied her? I just said those few words to Sheng Wan. Since she wants to be my younger sibling, I, as an older sister, should pay attention to her. How come you are bullying her?"

Luo Xin couldn't hear what Pei Nanjian said. She deliberately pretended not to understand what Pei Nanjian meant and replied innocently.

"Don't pretend to be here with me. You know what you said to Sheng Wan."

Pei Nanjian sat there in a daze, looking like a dandy rich young man.

But no one dares to underestimate the momentum emanating from him.

"Pei Nanjian, what are you talking about!"

Gu Huaichen's face, who was sitting aside, turned completely cold.

Pei Nanjian tilted his head slightly, laughed twice in an unexpected way, and said slowly, "Luo Xin is the 'sister' you miss so much, but she is not mine. Do you still need me to bow a few times before speaking? "

Everyone in the capital knew that Gu Huaichen and Luo Xin were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. They also knew what kind of thoughts Gu Huaichen had for Luo Xin in the past.

Pei Nanjian deliberately emphasized the word sister, and the sarcasm in his tone was self-evident.

Gu Huaichen lowered his dark eyes and hid all his emotions.

He lowered his head slightly, and the light was blocked by the dense eyelashes, casting a green black under his eyes, like an abyss, and it was difficult to see what he was thinking under his indifferent expression.

After looking at her coldly for a moment, Pei Nanjian said with disdain, "We haven't seen each other for so long, Gu Huaichen, you are as hypocritical as ever. You look boring, and I don't know what Xiao Wan thinks of it. I fell in love with someone like you." Gu Huaichen's eyebrows were slightly lowered, his dark eyes flashed, and his expression was as cold as a stone statue.

When he mentioned what happened before, he felt a little angry, but it didn't cause much trouble. However, Pei Nanjian's words made him completely unhappy for some reason.

He and Pei Nanjian had some disagreements a long time ago. They didn't deal with each other. They just disliked each other but had no choice but to do anything about it.

Unexpectedly, after Pei Nanjian came back for such a long time, he would still look like such a careless playboy.

"So what? You, on the other hand, have become more and more ignorant of etiquette after living outside for several years."

Gu Huaichen replied with a dark face.

Pei Nanjian didn't pay attention to what Gu Huaichen said. When he thought of the previous things, he became more and more angry.

Sheng Wan, who he had treated like a sister since he was a child, was bullied by Luo Xin and Gu Huaichen in this way. How could he swallow such a sigh of relief?

"If your Gu family has any objections to Sheng Wan, please send him back as soon as possible. Our Pei family is not short of food, so we can naturally take good care of him, instead of staying in your house and suffering these inexplicable anger."

Pei Nanjian became more and more angry as he spoke. He sat up straight, and the anger in his eyes seemed like thick ink that could not be dissipated, making his pupils darker and darker.

After hearing this, Gu Huaichen finally understood. He could now see clearly what Pei Nanjian was thinking.

He sneered, his tone as if it had been tempered with ice, and said coldly, "Pei Nanjian, there is no need for you to meddle in other people's business here. Sheng Wan is staying well in our house. Just a few words from your mouth prove it." What is it?"

"Besides, our relationship is inseparable and we don't want to be separated. Why are you, an outsider, speculating here?"

Pei Nanjian's face turned completely cold. He restrained his anger, and even his knuckles turned white because of too much force.

"You are making decisions on your own here. Does Sheng Wan know? Or why don't you go and ask in person, will she be willing to go back to Pei's house with you?"

Gu Huaichen frowned in disgust. His expression was calm. He stared at Pei Nanjian for a moment, and then continued to add this sentence.

"If Sheng Wan is willing to go back with you, I won't stop you, but we have a very good relationship, so she probably won't be able to let go."

Although Pei Nanjian seems to be casual, in fact he always has a moderate attitude towards advancement and retreat, and rarely gets angry.

But at this moment, his face was completely calm, his expression was tense, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

His eyes were stern, and there was suppressed anger in his clear voice.

"If Sheng Wan has any problems with you or is wronged in any way, I will definitely get it back for her!"

"Gu Huaichen, no matter what you do, I will be watching from the side. If you dare to apologize to Sheng Wan, I only ask you."

After Pei Nanjian said these few words, he was ready to get up and leave.

He came here specifically today just to vent his anger on Sheng Wan. Now that he's finished talking, it's time to leave.

He and Sheng Wan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they couldn't waste their precious time here.

Pei Nanjian was anxious to see Sheng Wan and didn't want to talk any more.

But Luo Xin, who was standing aside, seemed to suddenly react after seeing him stand up, and said, "Mr. Pei is leaving now. Why don't you sit here any longer? Let's stay and have a cup of coffee."

Luo Xin lowered his eyes, a hint of gloom that no one noticed flashed in his eyes.
