Chapter 72 - 072: The second uncle must have designs on the young girl (1 more)
After breakfast, Quan Yu slowly and methodically wiped his mouth clean with a napkin, then pushed his chair back and stood up.
His deep, cool gaze swept over Ning Guiwan’s face before he looked toward his elderly mother. "I’m heading to the company."
Mrs. Quan waved her hand dismissively, barely able to look at him.
"Second Cousin..." Lai Yang suddenly stood up and, seizing the opportunity, grabbed Ning Guiwan. "We’re also going out. Can we catch a ride with you?"
Quan Yu’s deep brown eyes turned their way. Before he could speak, Mrs. Quan reacted strongly, "Why would you ride in his car? We have cars at home. Just have someone take you wherever you need to go."
Quan Yu’s gaze returned to his mother, reflecting, Had he been too forceful?
The old lady was on pins and needles.
"I have something to discuss with Second Cousin, so I’ll ride in his car." Lai Yang didn’t understand Mrs. Quan’s reservations. She assumed her words were merely well-intentioned suggestions and dismissed them without much thought.
