The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

A figure poked its head outwards, and a fragrant breeze wafted over.

Fang Yun recognized this as Gu Tingxiang from before and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chapter 522 Fang Family Luncheon

Hearing Fang Yun's harsh tone, Gu Tingxiang didn't mind and simply said, "Big sister is asking me to atone for my sins. I offended you before and I need to apologize to you."

Fang Yun waved his hand: "No need, I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges so easily."

"Oh dear, I knew it. With Young Master Fang's magnanimity, he certainly wouldn't blame me. However, I still feel a little guilty if I don't make some kind of compensation."

"I've already ordered the food to be prepared. Brother Fang hasn't eaten a single grain of rice in so long, why don't you fill your stomach first?"

Fang Yun nodded in agreement, as he was indeed quite hungry after not eating for so long.

After following Gu Tingxiang, he thought he would be able to eat soon, at most in the vicinity. However, after turning left and right and walking through several courtyards, he still hadn't arrived at his destination.

"Miss Gu, is your mansion's dining hall hidden so deep? I've been walking for so long and still can't find it."

Fang Yun couldn't help but say something.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingxiang said, "Isn't this because my elder sister asked me to make you a proper apology? So I specially ordered someone to prepare a feast for you at my place."

After exchanging a few words, Fang Yun learned that the different young masters and young ladies of the Gu family lived in different locations, and the courtyards of different people were quite far apart. Therefore, Gu Tingxiang had actually walked quite a few steps to come and find him.

"If it's inconvenient in the future, don't bother, just arrange something nearby for me."

Gu Tingxiang smiled but didn't say anything.

After a while, Fang Yun finally followed Gu Tingxiang to another courtyard. The buildings here were slightly different from those in other places, appearing more exquisite.

The courtyard has bluestone benches and pink cherry blossoms, which looks quite charming.

"I decorated all of this myself. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings."

"No, I think it's good."

Hearing Fang Yun's praise, Gu Tingxiang smiled and then gestured for them to come upstairs: "Let's go upstairs. This time I had the nanny prepare the meal because there was too much time."

"If I have time next time, I can cook for you myself and let you taste my cooking."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun could only laugh awkwardly; he didn't expect this young lady from a wealthy family to be able to cook anything delicious.

When you get to the third floor, you'll find Gu Tingxiang's place. Her parents live on the two floors below.

This time, when Gu Tingxiang returned home, she found two pairs of shoes on the ground. She was slightly taken aback when she realized that her parents had returned from outside at some point.

"Mom and Dad, is that you? Weren't you supposed to be on vacation for two weeks? Why are you back early?"

Gu Tingxiang called out into the house, and a middle-aged woman with a big smile came out. She looked at Gu Tingxiang and said, "Our Xiang'er has grown up and knows how to care for her parents. She has someone prepare such a big table of dishes."

Gu Tingxiang pouted and said, "No, that's not true..."

The woman then urged Gu Tingxiang to go inside quickly, saying, "Do you know why we came back early this time? It's because your Uncle Li's son, Li Guozhi, came back with us and said he wanted to come and see you."

"what?"

Gu Tingxiang was startled: "He wouldn't be here right now, would he?"

"Yes, come on over, he's playing chess with your dad."

The woman said.

At the same time, the woman seemed to notice that something was wrong with Gu Tingxiang. She looked outside and saw Fang Yun standing there.

"And who is this?" the woman asked, seemingly knowing something in her heart.

"friend."

"Oh, since we're friends, let's come in and have something to eat together."

The woman's smile gradually faded, and her gaze swept over Fang Yun at least several times.

Although Fang Yun disliked this feeling, since he was already there, he just gritted his teeth and went in, planning to leave as soon as he finished eating.

........ ... .......

Gu Tingxiang's mother had been in this large family for a long time and had some ability to judge people. However, she couldn't see anything about Fang Yun. Judging from his clothes, he seemed no different from ordinary people outside.

This made her heart tighten immediately; she couldn't let Gu Tingxiang fall into her trap.

Upon entering the house, Fang Yun smelled the aroma of food. On a large mahogany table, nearly twenty dishes were laid out, and a young man and a middle-aged man were playing chess in front of the table.

Upon seeing Gu Tingxiang return, both of them stood up and smiled, intending to greet her. However, when they saw Fang Yun following behind, their expressions froze.

"Who is this?"

"This is Xiao Xiang's friend. I don't know where they met. This is the first time I've met them."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, the two men had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

In today's society, people's hearts are rather superficial, and many ordinary people like to dream of being liked by rich young ladies.

Although it was just a dream, quite a few rich girls who were bewitched actually got abducted to the factory.

Chapter 523 Looking at People Through a Crack in the Door

Just now, Li Guozhi was somewhat hostile towards Fang Yun, after all, Fang Yun was his opponent, and judging from Fang Yun's appearance, he seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Tingxiang.

But now he has put aside all such concerns. Since Fang Yun is just an unknown kid with no money or power, he will soon be exposed and he can easily deal with him.

As for Fang Yun, he really didn't like this atmosphere. Now, apart from Gu Tingxiang, the reactions of the other three made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Especially Gu Tingxiang's father, Gu Song, had no smile on his face. He could tell that "837" was not someone who could do great things. All his wealth was thanks to being born into the right family. If he were to go out and do something on his own, he would definitely not be able to succeed.

"Alright, alright, since you're friends with Xiao Xiang too, let's have a drink together. It's a bit too few people for just me to drink with Uncle. Now that there are three of us, we can really enjoy ourselves."

Li Guozhi invited Fang Yun to drink, but of course, it wasn't out of any good intentions. He wanted to show off his magnanimity in front of Gu Tingxiang and figure out what tricks he could use to make the kid back down.

"Yes, since Guozhi is asking you to drink, then you should sit down. This whole table of food is going to go to waste if we can't finish it."

The man named Gu Song had no expression on his face, but he simply asked Fang Yun to sit down.

Fang Yun thought that if he left now, it would make him seem petty and would also make Gu Tingxiang lose face. So he simply sat down and left after he finished eating.

"Oh right, there are two more dishes. I asked the nanny to leave them for me to cook myself. I'll go check the kitchen first."

At this moment, Gu Tingfang remembered this matter and turned to go to the kitchen.

Both Gu Song and Gu Tingfang's mother smiled and said, "Guozhi, you are so lucky. Xiang'er used to be so spoiled at home. She would never have cooked for herself. If you hadn't come today, we wouldn't have been able to eat her cooking."

Upon hearing this, Li Guozhi's face immediately broke into a smile, and he gave Fang Yun a smug look.

He thought to himself: Kid, no matter how much you try to please someone in the face of absolute strength, it's all in vain. Gu Tingxiang understands this point and knows who to side with.

Just then, Gu Tingxiang suddenly ran out of the kitchen, her skirt covered in black debris.

"Oh no, oh no! I was just trying to fry an egg, but I didn't control the heat properly and it's all burnt."

Gu's parents and Li Guozhi waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "Alright, alright, if you don't eat now, you'll be hungry. There will be many more opportunities for you to try later."

"Yes, Xiangmei, I appreciate your kind offer. If you really enjoy cooking, I can teach you next time. I used to like tinkering with food when I was at home."

Li Guozhi said with a smile.

Gu Tingxiang looked at Fang Yun, who was sitting there without saying a word, and said, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted you to try my cooking this time, but it seems that I'll have to do it next time."

Upon hearing Gu Tingxiang's words, Gu's parents and Li Guozhi, who had just been smiling, froze in place. After a long while, Gu Song finally let out a cold snort.

Li Guozhi turned pale, then flushed. It turned out the person wasn't cooking for him, and he'd been so intimate with them.

"Girl, that's enough, stop talking." Knowing the atmosphere was awkward, Madam Gu pulled everyone down to sit and eat. For a moment, no one spoke.

Li Guozhi, having seen the world, calmed down after a while and said to the ancient pine tree, "Uncle, how about we have some now? You don't know, this time when I came back with you, I secretly took a few bottles of good wine from my dad."

As he spoke, Li Guozhi brought out a small leather suitcase he had brought with him, inside which were bottles of wine with red ribbons and white glass on both sides. Gu Song immediately perked up when he saw it.

"Good lad, so that's why I always carry a suitcase with me. It's liquor, Yuqiongye. This liquor isn't cheap; sometimes you can't even buy it in the market."

"I just wanted to give you a surprise. Besides, even the most expensive wine is worth it once it's in my belly, Songbo."

Li Guozhi was very good at talking, and he kept Gu Song 1.3 smiling from ear to ear, and the group immediately put the unpleasantness from before behind them.

After chatting for a while, Li Guozhi slapped his forehead, looked at Fang Yun, and said, "I was so busy drinking that I forgot about Brother Fang. It was my fault."

"Xiao Xiang, quickly get another cup for this Brother Fang. I want to pour him a cup myself."

Fang Yun waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I have some things to do this afternoon, so I won't drink. You guys drink."

Upon hearing this, Li Guozhi laughed and said, "Brother Fang, you don't understand. You'll regret saying that."

Chapter 524 Jade Elixir

"Oh, why would you regret it?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

"You don't know this, do you? This Jade Qiong Liquor is a fine wine that has been aged for at least twenty years. You can't buy it on the market even if you have money. If you don't try it this time, you may never get to taste it in your life."

Although what Li Guozhi said made no mistake, even if such wine were available, ordinary people would not be able to afford it.

However, the tone of her voice always sounded a little off. Just as Fang Yun was about to refuse, Gu Tingxiang spoke first.

"Li Guozhi, you should keep quiet. Young Master Fang is no ordinary person. He can drink this kind of wine as he pleases."

Li Guozhi smiled upon hearing this. He knew that Gu Tingxiang was saying this to save Fang Yun's face, but he was deliberately trying to embarrass Fang Yun.
