Chapter 514: We Are Childhood Sweethearts
Walking in the wide streets, Gu Fan’s head was full of thoughts. What secrets does this old house conceal? What role do the six residents play in all this?
Theoretically, now that the boss has gained the Zhu Family’s support, he should also know about the secrets of the old house. So, why is he still seeking support from the Luo Family? Unless...
Gu Fan recalled that earlier, there were five guardians in the Eternal life Clan; each guardian held onto a part of the secret, only when the five come together can the complete secret be pieced out, a secret that could guide everyone to immortality.
Gu Fan suspected the six households may operate in a similar manner. Each person possibly controlled a part of the secret concerning the old mansion, which is why even after gaining the Zhu Family’s support, the boss still needed the support of the Luo Family.
"What would I do if I were a boss? Who would be my next choice?" Gu Fan naturally thought of Zhang Yang and Liu Yao. Gu Fan quickly ruled out Zhang Yang. He had to consider why Shennv Xuanhui suddenly took an interest in old Gu’s house, about the relationship between Ning Qi and Shennv Xuanhui and between Zhang Yang and Ning Qi. There was fear that Zhang Yang had already joined the side of Shennv Xuanhui.
After considering all the aspects, only Liu Yao remained, so he took the initiative to ask Gu Ling for Liu Yao’s contact information, and met with her to discuss something important.
Having agreed on a time and place, Gu Fan didn’t wait long before Liu Yao arrived as promised. She began by asking, "Gu Fan, what’s the reason for this meeting?"
"I didn’t want to wait too long; it’s rare that childhood friends get to meet again. I feel very emotional. Hence, I invited you for a meal." Gu Fan spoke casually, which irritated Liu Yao, "What are you doing, Gu Fan? Do you have too much free time? Didn’t you say you have important matters to discuss with me?"
Upon this, Gu Fan looked blank, "Yes, aren’t childhood friends reuniting a big deal? If you think about it, we were once childhood sweethearts who grew up together, but we missed each other somehow."
