CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 419: CAUGHT RED-HANDED

This is why Zheng Peng looks down on Liu Miao.

Such blatant stirring up and exaggerated expressions simply make Zheng Peng nauseous. Gu Juan sometimes deliberately says certain things too, but she is smart and never speaks so bluntly, instead letting you imagine them.

This is also why Zheng Peng likes Gu Juan: intelligence.

Also, when did it become Liu Miao’s turn to butt into his and Gu Juan’s business?

"Don’t you want to know who that person is?" Seeing that Zheng Peng was ignoring her, Liu Miao hurriedly said.

"I’m not trying to stir things up," seeing Zheng Peng’s displeased expression, even Liu Miao knew why, no matter how clueless she was.

It’s just hateful that she was too hasty earlier.

"I’m just worried about Juanzi." Liu Miao quickly said, "I saw that Juanzi wasn’t very willing to get into that person’s car, so Mr. Zheng, you have to go save her quickly."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Zheng Peng angrily yelled, then pedaled on his bicycle ready to leave.

Liu Miao gritted her teeth and jumped onto the back seat.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Zheng Peng put his foot down to stop the bike, "Get off."

He purposely didn’t bring his car today, wanting to have a romantic moment with Gu Juan. Yesterday he saw a friend riding a bicycle with his partner on the front, and that seemed quite romantic.

In a spur of the moment, Zheng Peng also wanted to try, and with the car having some issues today, he decided to ride the bike instead.

But now, he regretted it, knowing he could have caught up with the car easily if he had driven.

"I... I know where they’re going." Liu Miao bit her lip and said, "Otherwise, how long do you think it’ll take to find her in such a huge Qin City?"

In fact, she had no idea where Zhou Ting would take Gu Juan, but she had heard Gu Juan boasting before, saying she often went to a certain shop for drinks.

She couldn’t understand why such shops existed, what drinks were there to crave for, buying a soda would be enough.

But seeing Gu Juan show off like that, Liu Miao suppressed her inner doubts.

Later, after starting her job at the transformer factory, she secretly went to that shop once, only to have a quick look and hurriedly run out.

She was scared off.

Why?

Although the drinks there didn’t require a ticket, the prices were exorbitant.

One drink could cost as much as her month’s food bill.

"Fine." Zheng Peng said with a dark face as he started pedaling his bicycle again.

Just as Liu Miao said, he didn’t know where Gu Juan was, and finding her might take forever.

And the man Liu Miao mentioned that Gu Juan got in the car with, he thought he might have guessed it. Other than the time at the state-run restaurant with Zhou Ting, there probably wasn’t anyone else.

Zhou Ting?

A person driven out by the Capital City family, coming to Qin City to show off.

Ha, does he really think there’s no one in Qin City?

While Zheng Peng pedaled the bicycle carrying Liu Miao to find Gu Juan, Gu Lingling also got off work. Today, she didn’t go straight home, but planned to tidy up at Yang Yunhai’s place.

Every few days she would go there to clean up, as if Yunhai could return any day and stay there.

"Sis, I just knew you’d come here." Yao Jingsong came running over, covered in sweat, "Good news, Gu Juan and Zhou Ting are on a date in the shop, and Zheng Peng caught them red-handed."

"Is that so?" Gu Lingling smiled, but her hands didn’t stop working, "Is that all?"

She found it hard to believe that Yao Jingsong would rush here just to say this.

"You already knew?" Yao Jingsong asked, looking disappointed, "Then do you also know that Zheng Peng saw Zhou Ting kissing Gu Juan?"

This... How could she have guessed?

But it sounds pretty interesting, quite amusing indeed.

Just wondering what Zheng Peng feels about it.
