Chapter 847: 842 Qingmei Zhuma named Ranran

Many employees, curious about the scene unfolding, looked on.

For them, seeing Gu Zhen sitting across from Ji Pianran was quite novel.

Although everyone knew Ji Pianran came from a distinguished family and that Gu Zhen was her man, their impression of Gu Zhen was still rather superficial.

The majority had only seen Gu Zhen on television during the original scandal.

In their real lives, they hadn’t seen what Gu Zhen looked like.

Now, seeing Gu Zhen, they found it very intriguing, as if they were also curious about what kind of man could earn Ji Pianran’s lifelong commitment.

Facing the surrounding gazes, he himself didn’t react much, for he had grown accustomed to such strange stares long ago.

Indeed, over the many years he had been with Ji Pianran,

whenever he appeared with Ji Pianran, people always acted a bit oddly.

It was as if he simply didn’t match up to Ji Pianran,

At first, Gu Zhen found it hard to accept, but now he had gotten used to it.

He couldn’t understand why everyone felt as though he didn’t deserve Ji Pianran.

"Husband, you’ve also worked hard recently."

"I heard you’ve been busy with something again; be more careful, pay attention to your health, and don’t overwork yourself."

This was what Ji Pianran was telling Gu Zhen at that time.

He was very concerned about Gu Zhen, worried about the toll overexertion might take on his body eventually.

Although Gu Zhen was getting on in years, he showed no signs of aging among men.

On the contrary, every time, Gu Zhen appeared very spirited, as if he never tired.

This was something Ji Pianran himself could not understand—why Gu Zhen seemed like he would never age.

Besides Gu Zhen, he also realized something strange about himself.

He noticed that other women had crow’s feet on their faces.

And various other disarrayed features.

Yet his own face still looked as young as it initially did, not only not aging but seemingly even younger.

Sometimes he would go out for a run, and every time, he could push past his limits.

He never felt his body deteriorating day by day.

But Gu Zhen was well aware of the reasons behind these things.

It was all because of his Spiritual Spring.

He wasn’t just unaging; even his physical condition was improving.

And with the Spiritual Spring now upgrading, he estimated that even when he reached his fifties or sixties, he would not show his age.

It was even possible that when that day came, while others of his age might be old men playing chess in the park, he might be doing pull-ups there.

Just when everything seemed normal, suddenly a noisy commotion came from outside.

"I’m here to see your chairman Ji Pianran; let me through."

A very arrogant and rude voice rang out.

"Excuse me, sir, this is the company cafeteria. You can’t go in there; our chairman is dining."

An employee was stopping a man who wanted to rush into the cafeteria.

"What do you mean I can’t enter? There’s no place my dad can’t go, scram now!"

Following that barrage of abuse, a scream was heard.

The female employee who had been blocking him was pushed to the ground, and then the man stormed into the cafeteria.

Upon entering, all the employees turned their gazes toward this man.

And this man also instantly scanned the room with his eyes.

Soon after, he spotted Ji Pianran and walked directly towards her.

Seeing him stride over, Gu Zhen squinted his eyes.

He had no idea where this guy had come from.

From his face, Gu Zhen could tell he was definitely a stranger.

He had certainly never seen him before.

His gaze conveyed a sense of unfamiliarity, but soon Ji Pianran seemed to realize something as if she had remembered.

Gu Zhen said nothing at the moment, just deciding to see what this man wanted to do and wanting to know his identity.

Then he saw the man rushing up to Ji Pianran’s side.

"Ranran, it’s me." After rushing over, the man even dared to call Ji Pianran by such an intimate name.

Many around them instantly looked curious after hearing this.

It seemed they wanted to see what the man’s identity was for him to have such a close nickname with Ji Pianran.

Upon hearing his words, Ji Pianran was also stunned on the spot, not understanding how this man dared to say such a thing.

"Ranran, it was my mom who asked me to find you," the man said, not caring about the looks from others.

And he even brought his mom into the conversation, making everyone more curious after hearing it, wondering what the relationship between this guy and Ji Pianran really was?

The nickname was far too intimate, sounding almost like that of lovers.

More crucially, the main character was sitting right opposite him, and his use of that nickname was clearly inappropriate.

"What do you want from me? Our families have had no contact for so many years now."

Ji Pianran’s tone clearly showed impatience, and he was quite rude to this person. He didn’t just say it to this person, it rather seemed like he was explaining something to Gu Zhen.

It was as if he was afraid that Gu Zhen might misunderstand something because of this situation, so he spoke this way.

Having heard this, Gu Zhen could pretty much understand that the fellow in front of him must be a relative of Ji Pianran.

"Look, Ranran, for the sake of our childhood friendship, can you help me just one more time? I really need money right now.

If it weren’t for an urgent need, I wouldn’t have come to you.

You know well what kind of person I am, I can’t swallow my pride.

Now, I really have no choice. Without your help, I don’t know how I’ll get through this tough time.

Please help me again. Don’t you remember back when you were bullied at school, I was the one who stepped in and got hit for you? My shoulder still hurts even now."

This man, while speaking, brought up past events as if trying to awaken Ji Pianran’s old memories.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran frowned tightly, obviously not touched by the scenarios from her childhood.

"I’ve already given your family money. I can’t keep helping you indefinitely."

"Besides, as an adult, shouldn’t you get a job instead of just loafing around?"

When Ji Pianran said this in front of so many people, the man’s face visibly couldn’t maintain composure, as if he felt a tinge of shame.
