Chapter 152: Chapter 152

Seeing that Pei Lian was about to leave after apologizing, Shen Qinglan hurriedly said, "What did you call us earlier?"

Pei Lian barely suppressed her anger, "What more do you want?"

Shen Qinglan said calmly, "Apologize."

"Don’t push your luck!" Pei Lian’s pretty face immediately turned angry.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I am pushing my luck. What can you do about it?"

You can’t blame her for being aggressive; these people were idle and came to provoke her first.

"I’m sorry." Pei Lian said angrily, "Are you satisfied now?"

Shen Qinglan waved her hand, signaling she could leave.

Pei Lian snorted, took her two maidservants, and walked away without looking back.

Shen Qinglan glanced in the direction where Duan Yunfei was, and coincidentally, he was also looking this way. She was slightly taken aback and quickly averted her gaze.

When they were gone, Lu asked Shen Qinglan urgently, "Qinglan, why did that girl come over to apologize to us?"

Not only Lu, but others were also puzzled.

"Oh~" Shen Qingfeng’s eyes lit up, "Isn’t that Young Master Duan?"

"Cousin, you know that gentleman?" Shen Qingju asked curiously.

"A friend of Qinglan’s," Shen Qingfeng said, puzzled, "Didn’t she tell you?"

Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingju shouted almost in unison.

"So, was he really smiling at Qinglan just now!" Shen Qingju said happily, "That County Magistrate’s daughter said we’re toads wanting to eat swan meat. I think she’s the one wanting to eat swan meat, right?"

Shen Qinghe also laughed, "I really didn’t expect our Qinglan to know such a handsome gentleman!"

"So, that County Magistrate’s daughter came to apologize because of that gentleman, right?"

Shen Qingju glanced at Shen Qinglan with arched eyebrows, full of gossip.

Shen Qinglan resisted the urge to facepalm, coughed lightly, and said, "Maybe."

Standing in the crowd, Shen Shan and others, seeing there was no problem here, didn’t come over.

Shen Qingju said excitedly, "Anyway, that gentleman helped us and is your friend. Aren’t you going to introduce us?"

"Next time!" Shen Qinglan said, "They might be discussing something."

Shen Qingfeng laughed, "Young Master Duan lives next door to us. It’s not too late to greet him when we get back."

"Lives next door?" Shen Qingju looked at Shen Qinglan and said with a smirk, "No wonder you kept running next door during that time; turned out you were going to see that handsome gentleman."

Jiang and Lu exchanged glances, then pulled Shen Qinglan aside and whispered, "Which family’s young master is he? Even the County Magistrate’s daughter is afraid of him?"

"He is..." Shen Qinglan thought for a moment, "He is the owner of our Shengxiang Restaurant!"

"Your owner?" Lu was stunned, "So young?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes!"

"No wonder he’s so impressive!" Jiang whispered again, "Your cousin said he’s your friend?"

Fearing they would keep asking, Shen Qinglan coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I’m not very close to him."

Lu asked, "That doesn’t matter. Do you know where his family lives? Is he engaged?"

Shen Qinglan said, "He should be engaged!"

Lu and Jiang seemed a bit disappointed.

Jiang sighed lightly, "Such a handsome and capable gentleman, who knows which girl is fortunate enough to end up with him!"

Shen Qinglan looked at their sighs with an unchanged expression.

"Oh well!" Lu said, "Seems gentleman and our Qinglan are not fated to be together."

With that, she glanced at Duan Yunfei again, and her eyes lit up.

"The other three aren’t bad either." Lu pointed in the direction of Le Zhao and asked, "Who is that gentleman from? His looks don’t lose to your owner! How is his family background?"

Shen Qinglan was embarrassed, "That gentleman has someone he likes!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIＦire.net
