Chapter 28: Mrs. Lu's Invitation, How Could I Mind?

Qin Yan looked at her wool coat that had been dirtied by coffee. This kind of clothing was very difficult to clean once coffee got on it, and she suppressed her anger.

Looking at Gu Shanshan, who was apologizing, there was no apology on her face, and her tone couldn't hide her smugness.

In the past, Gu Shanshan loved to play this kind of childish and disgusting game.

She had endured it all because of Gu He'an.

This time, she wouldn't endure it anymore!

"What a coincidence to meet you here. What are you doing here?" She opened her mouth, but her gaze swept around and saw a bottle of paint placed on the table.

Gu Shanshan saw that she wasn't angry and even smiled at her, feeling disdain in her heart.

This woman climbed up to her brother, so she could only please her.

Thinking of the last time, this woman dared to shout at her at home and made her get lectured by her mother, she must teach her a lesson this time.

Daring to give her a cold face—she was asking for it!

"I came to take photos for Su Jing. What are you doing here? Being an extra, or chasing stars? You'd better hurry up and get out, don't lose face here!"

The onlookers were all watching Qin Yan with a look of wanting to see a good show.

Xu Lan heard Gu Shanshan's mockery, looked at Qin Yan, and her gaze carried schadenfreude and contempt.

Gu Shanshan was her sister-in-law, yet she was so impolite to her. It seemed Qin Yan didn't have a good life after marrying into a wealthy family.

Being looked down upon by the wealthy family, yet putting on airs in the company—it was truly laughable.

Qin Yan heard her mockery, and there was even a smile on her face, "You guessed wrong. I came to tell you what I'm going to do."

She went to get the paint and walked in front of Gu Shanshan, splashing it onto her face.

"Ah!"

Gu Shanshan screamed, wiping away the paint on her face. Her head and body were all covered in it, and this kind of thing was extremely difficult to clean once it got on the body. Her outfit was ruined.

She stared at Qin Yan in shock.

"Qin Yan!"

"You're crazy!"

"Sorry, my hand slipped by accident." Qin Yan said innocently.

"Qin Yan, I don't care what disease you have, you dare to lay hands on me, I will definitely make you pay the price!" She glared at Qin Yan gloomily and roared.

"Shouting slogans? Then don't just shout and not do anything."

"..."

Gu Shanshan listened to her provocation, so angry she wanted to cry, and sensing the scrutinizing gazes all around, she didn't want to make a fool of herself here, "Qin Yan, just you wait!"

Watching her leave, Qin Yan even waved politely.

Xu Lan was also frightened and retreated a few steps, staring at Qin Yan in horror.

She actually dared to lay hands on the Gu family's daughter in this kind of occasion; was she looking for death?

"That's the Gu family's daughter, how dare you?"

Qin Yan glanced at her without answering and strode away.

Xu Lan saw her smile and saw her indifference, feeling even more puzzled in her heart.

A wild girl from the countryside, what right did she have?

Where did she get the confidence!

Qin Yan returned. As soon as she opened the door and saw Lu Qianchuan sitting in the living room, she immediately took out her phone.

"Nine-twenty, I didn't exceed the time."

Returning from there, it took her two hours just by subway.

"..." Lu Qianchuan saw she had a stain on her, furrowed his brows, "Are you at work, or on a spring outing?"

Not only was she dirty, but her shoes not only had mud but also some paint.

"Running outside to sign a contract."

Qin Yan said and took off her coat, using her phone to search for how to clean coffee off a wool coat.

She went to the washroom to clean it, soaked it in cold water, added medical alcohol, and tried for more than ten minutes. The mark faded a bit, but it was still there, and she had a headache.

Lu Qianchuan saw her worrying and suggested, "If you can't wash it, throw it away and buy another set."

Qin Yan looked up at him and explained, "This is my first birthday gift, I'm a bit reluctant."

Birthday gift?

Who sent it that she would be reluctant?

He pursed his lips and didn't want to speak.

But seeing the woman toss and turn for half an hour without getting it done, he could only open his mouth, "Send it to a dry cleaner, there are professional people there to help you clean it."

Qin Yan reacted. Professional people should have a way. She couldn't wait.

"Let's go now."

Lu Qianchuan went to get the car keys, saw the woman holding her clothes and wanting to go with him, stopped, and looked at her.

She really cared about this birthday gift.

"Wear a coat, it will be cold outdoors."

Qin Yan only then reacted that she was only wearing a sweater. It wasn't cold indoors with air conditioning, but it would be cold outdoors.

"Then you wait, I'll be quick."

She turned and ran to the bedroom to find a coat.

At this time, the phone in the living room rang.

Lu Qianchuan looked toward the table; it was Qin Yan's phone.

He walked over to check; it was Gu He'an.

He pressed answer.

"Qin Yan, Shanshan is hospitalized with a paint allergy. She kept crying and saying you splashed her with paint and humiliated her in front of everyone. Qin Yan, how could you hurt her like this!"

Lu Qianchuan glanced at Qin Yan's high heels placed on the rack; there was paint on the soles.

"Qin Yan, why aren't you speaking?"

"Qin Yan, she is also your younger sister now, you should protect her. She is a bit naughty, if it makes you unhappy, you can tell me, I'll deal with her. I don't want to have unpleasantness because of a small matter. Hurry to the hospital and apologize to her!"

Lu Qianchuan hung up the phone with a blank expression and blocked Gu He'an again.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to look at Qin Yan, who had changed into a red down jacket. The down jacket had a hood, and the hood had fluffy decorations, making her face look even smaller.

"Alright, let's go." Qin Yan changed her shoes and looked at him.

"Hmm." Lu Qianchuan opened the door and took her out.

The dry cleaner had professional equipment. After checking her coat, the shop owner said it could be cleaned, and Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The clothes had to wait until the next day to be picked up, and the two turned back.

When getting into the car, Qin Yan saw an old woman selling roasted sweet potatoes on the side of the road. Beside the sixty-something-year-old grandmother stood a seven or eight-year-old child.

Because it was raining, the two were huddled under the eaves. The child squatted behind the grandmother, seemingly a bit bored, and looked at the road, meeting Qin Yan's gaze.

Qin Yan walked over and bought all the grandmother's sweet potatoes.

"Little girl, can you eat so many by yourself?" Although the grandmother was happy that the sweet potatoes were bought, she was worried that the little girl couldn't finish them and would waste them.

"I can eat them." Qin Yan smiled and took out her phone to scan the code, but entered the wrong password.

She thought the network was bad and tried again. It was only a hundred or so yuan; she still had that much on her card.

But trying again still failed.

Not believing in evil, she scanned it again. She clicked to check the payment method, only then remembering she had previously bound Gu He'an's card.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud. Gu He'an had secretly changed the password.

"It's already paid." Lu Qianchuan's voice sounded overhead. She raised her eyes to look at him.

Lu Qianchuan met her gaze, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yan shook her head, took a few sweet potatoes out of the bag, put them in a small bag, turned around, and sent them to the dry cleaner, asking the boss to be sure to clean them well.

The dry cleaner didn't expect her to come to deliver sweet potatoes, surprised and a bit embarrassed, and promised to clean her clothes well.

The two got into the car again. Qin Yan picked a sweet potato whose skin didn't look bad, handed it to the man, and asked with a smile.

"If you don't mind, want to try?"

"Mrs. Lu's invitation, how could I mind."

Lu Qianchuan took the sweet potato she handed over. After breaking it open, it was still steaming, and it smelled sweet.

He tasted a mouthful. The taste of handmade roasted sweet potatoes was still different from those roasted in an oven.

After eating the sweet potato, he turned to look out the window. The old woman selling sweet potatoes had already packed up her stall and left with the child.

He looked at the woman beside him again, his eyes softening a bit.
