>Chapter 225: I know if it's suitable for me or not

eak to him calmly, "Pei Yi, you used to try very hard to please your mother... You are so smart, you must know that your parents don't get along well, but even so, you still want to be close to your m...Qiao Bao'er sat in the chair at the dining table, with a lavish breakfast spread before her. She didn't eat much, but she had lost her appetite.

She wore a tight expression, clearly agitated.

I wanted to jump up from the chair and go to the living room to confront him, but suddenly a wave of apprehension washed over me. I was afraid of hearing something bad.

"What are you thinking"

"You're not thinking about your aunt again, are you"

Across the table, Lu Qinian had finished his meal and wiped his lips with a napkin. He glanced at her, noticing something off about her expression. His tone was sharp as he spoke to her.

Qiao Bao'er was expressionlessly stunned for a moment.

She immediately remembered that she had secretly sneaked back to Jun's house and it was almost 7 am now. Her aunt had already gotten up.

I'm sure to be scolded, my mood is getting worse. Forget it, maybe confessing proactively would be better.

Lu Qinan, can I borrow your phone

"Qiao Ba'er, did you come back on your own, or..."

"Pass me your phone." she urged, not wanting to waste time arguing.

Lu Qinan didn't hand over his phone. Instead, he looked at her with suspicion in his eyes. "I'm being serious now. Tell me, did you come back willingly This is important."

"I snuck back myself, waiting to get scolded. What a chicken! Pass me your phone quickly."

She didn't think too deeply, just felt that this guy probably wanted to gloat over her misfortune.

Lu Qinan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, as if he was satisfied with her answer. He generously took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her. However, at this moment, a female maid hurried towards Qiao Bao'er, accompanied by a familiar ringtone.

"Ma'am, you have a new incoming call."

The maid brought her own phone, so she didn't need to use Lu Qinan's. She took the vibrating phone and glanced at the screen, immediately looking guilty.

It was her aunt who called.

"Tell her you're running away with Zhi Mu, and ask her to stop making a fuss. This Miss Gu is really..." Lu Qinan couldn't help but grumble.

This Gu Ruyue is really weird.

Qiao Bao'er glared at him, warning him with her eyes to keep quiet.

His fingers nervously tapped the answer button on his phone, "Auntie," he said meekly.

Gu Ruoyan, upon hearing her voice, did not erupt in a furious rage. Instead, she replied with two words in a very calm tone.

"Come back!"

Jo Bao'er gripped her phone, her heart pounding.

She hesitated for two seconds before speaking in a low voice, "Aunt, I want to stay at Jun's family." Her voice was so soft, as if she was deeply ashamed of her mistake.

Lu Qinian saw her cowardly appearance and was instantly enraged!

What does he mean, acting all tough and arrogant all day long, but now he's so obedient Luckily Jun Zhimu and Pei Haoran are in the living room, he's very unhappy about this.

"Qiao Bao'er, are you still breastfeeding Did Gu Ruyue tell you to divorce Zhi Mu, and you did it" Lu Qinan glared at her directly, not caring if the person on the phone could hear.

He wanted Gu Ruyue to hear him clearly. If it weren't for the fact that she was Qiao Bao'er's aunt, none of them would have been so tolerant of her. They thought they could bully anyone who came along just because they were powerful.

"Bao'er, come back immediately." Gu Ruoyan's voice on the phone was clearly laced with a hint of anger.

“I…” She looked conflicted, trying to explain. “Jun Zhimu isn’t actually that hard to get along with, he just isn’t very warm towards people. Aunt, if you got to know him better, you’d accept him too. He’s different from my dad, Qiao Wenyu…”

He is even worse than Qiao Wenyu.

On the phone, someone seemed to have been provoked and quickly retorted.

"Jun Qing Cheng and Jiang Meili's son, what kind of good person could he be You believe it, I don't!"

Qiao Baoer didn't know how to reply for a moment. She could feel Gu Ruyue's anger that was about to explode. Every time she mentioned anything related to the Jun family, she became so emotionally out of control. Qiao Baoer truly couldn't understand why.

Gu Ruyue heard her stop speaking and took several deep breaths, softening her voice. "Bao'er, I'm doing this for your own good. This Jun Zhi牧 is truly not right for you..."

"Whether it's suitable for me or not, I know."

She didn't mean to contradict Gu Ruyue, the words just tumbled out.

Then, just as she uttered those words, the other party hung up. Qiao Baier stared at her phone screen, instinctively wanting to call back, but in the end, she placed the phone on the desk, leaning her body against the chair backrest. Her expression was conflicted, a mixture of struggle and disappointment.

Lu Qinan saw her dejected expression and impatiently shouted, "What grudge does Gu Ruoyan have with the Jun family"

"I don't know..."

She was troubled, her pretty brows furrowed as she racked her brain, trying to remember if there had ever been a conflict between her aunt and the Jun family. But she couldn't recall anything at all.

"My aunt seems to particularly dislike Junzhi Mu's father."

Jun Qing Cheng.

This name was unfamiliar to her, the late father of Junzhi Mu.

"Jun Qingcheng..." She repeated the name, but still had no memory of it.

"Jun Qing Cheng!"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Ruyi's face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and muttered those three words, her anger surging but with nowhere to vent. She clenched her phone tightly, repeatedly squeezing it.

"Junjia, we are unworthy of you, but don't think about coming to harm us again..."

"I have to make Bao'er cut ties with him." Her mind was scattered and tense, pacing back and forth in the living room, muttering anxiously to herself.

"I must make her sever ties with the Jun family, never to speak again!"

Jun Guantang was originally busy at the main house. When he heard from a servant that Qiao Bao'er had returned, and Lu Qinian and Pei Haoran also came early in the morning, he became curious and wanted to go to Dongyuan. As he walked halfway, a male worker from the Jun family hurriedly ran up to him, saying that a woman had called the old master on the phone.

"The old man's phone number hasn't been used for years."

John the Butler was initially skeptical, but his subordinates dared not lie. After a moment's thought, he spoke in a deep voice, "Who is it Did they give their name"

"Yes, she said her name is Gu Ruyue."

"Gu Ruoyan"

The old housekeeper was astonished. This was Qiao Bao'er's aunt.

What made it even stranger was, "How could this Miss Gu, the second daughter of the Gu family, know her grandfather's phone number"

Since Mr. Jun formally announced that Jun Zhi牧 would take over the helm of the group ten years ago, his mobile phone number has not been used as frequently. Gradually, some official business and even some old friends have switched to contacting the landline at Jun's main residence.

Mr. Jun is a sentimental person, and keeping a phone number isn't difficult for them. As long as someone charges the phone regularly and tops up the credit, they can keep the number as a memento.

The butler pondered for a moment before dismissing the servant. "Give me your phone, and go back to work," he said.

He turned and hurried back towards the main house.

In the grand living room of the Jun family, a spirited elderly gentleman in a black gold silk Tang suit sat regally in the center of the sofa. He leaned to one side, meticulously handling festive invitations prepared for his grandchild's first month celebration.

"Sir, Miss Gu from the second family called your number and said she had something to discuss with you." The butler stepped forward, his voice calm as he handed over a black phone that was currently ringing.

Master Jun's hands, which were sorting through the invitations, stilled. He looked up, his aged and imposing face etched with surprise.

"Bao'er's aunt"

"Yes," the butler's expression held a hint of complexity, "Miss Gu Ruyue said she has something important to discuss with you."y to it all. They tacitly didn't waste any time and hurried down the narrow passage.They burst forth, running through the cascading curtain of water from the waterfall, and finally they saw the bright...
