"Are they really in the drawing room?"

Amid the noise, there was a strong voice asking a question.

Then, Doctor Liu, who had a small mustache, strode into the reception room. He panted and quickly scanned the three people. Seeing that the three people were only in their teens, he couldn't help but wonder if he was being fooled.

"Which one of you is the witch doctor?"

Lin Qiu'er and her two siblings looked at each other and shook their heads.

"That's what I said. How can a witch doctor be this young? If he can really become a witch doctor at this age, he must have started learning medicine since his mother's womb." Doctor Liu said, and he was more convinced that he was deceived. "These people have learned to use this excuse to deceive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he returned to his slow pace and turned to leave the living room.

They came and went in a hurry, leaving Lin Qiuer and her two siblings standing there in a daze.

"Who does this guy think he is?" Lin Nanyue took a while to react, slamming the table in dissatisfaction and saying, "Does he think that the witch doctor in our village has the same low status as him, and can be ordered around by others?"

"You come when you're called and go when you're dismissed. I told you not to be distracted when you're studying." Lin Nanye reached out and gently hit Lin Nanyue on the head, "Don't get too excited. You're even more childish than Baoer."

Lin Qiuer looked at Doctor Liu as he left. The surprise she showed when he first came in and the disappointment she showed when he left formed a sharp contrast.

This made her wonder why this person had such obvious contrasting emotions before and after?

Lin Qiu'er thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so she gave up and said, "Since Mr. Gu didn't say he would come over for dinner, let's eat first." As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Nanyue's face immediately broke into a smile, and without hesitation, she stretched out her chopsticks to one of the dishes she had already set her eyes on.

The food this time was not only beautifully presented, but also delicious. Even Lin Qiuer, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and delicacies from all over the world, couldn't help but give this meal a high score in her heart while eating.

"Have you started eating?" Gu Anqing, supported by Chang Qing, slowly walked into the reception room and found a seat to sit down. He half-jokingly said, "It seems that our friendship of life and death is not as important as a meal."

Seeing Gu Anqing coming, a servant came in quickly and placed a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of him.

Lin Qiuer was about to reply, but Lin Nanyue beat her to the punch.

"Don't talk nonsense. We only ate after we asked your family and found out that you didn't ask to dine with us."

Gu Anqing was just joking, but Lin Nanyue took it seriously. He could only laugh to hide his embarrassment, "Hahaha, Brother Lin is really funny."

"Are you praising me? Why do I feel something is wrong? Was I scolded?" Lin Nanyue scratched his head and felt a chill on the back of his head.

Lin Qiuer and Lin Nanye smiled at each other. On this point, he was extremely quick to react.

"Ahem, Changqing, tell the waiter outside to ask the kitchen to send more dishes." Gu Anqing coughed twice, trying to change the subject. He didn't want to be asked questions in front of this young man.

After hearing Gu Anqing's instructions, Chang Qing quickly walked to the door and asked someone to go to the kitchen to pass on the message.

Then she returned to the table, carefully put the dishes into the bowl according to Gu Anqing's taste, and handed it to him.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little subtle. The four of them were silent while eating and sleeping, concentrating on enjoying the food. Lin Nanyue had a big appetite and ate all the food in front of him. Gu Anqing and Lin Qiuer were not far behind, and the three of them ate all the food like a whirlwind.

After eating, Gu Anqing rinsed his mouth and asked with a smile, "Does the food tonight suit your appetite?"

Lin Qiu'er showed a satisfied smile on her face and replied, "The food in your house is very delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."

"It's delicious, but there's only a little bit of food in each dish, like feeding chickens. It would be better if the portion of each dish was a little bigger." Lin Nanyue frowned and thought for a moment, then made a serious suggestion.

The meals of the rich and powerful are prepared by a special person, and they are small in quantity and exquisite. Lin Nanyue was born in a mountain village, so he has a lot of strength and naturally consumes a lot of energy, so the food at home is just enough as long as it tastes good. So in terms of food appreciation, he can't compare with Lin Qiuer at all.

"We have never eaten such exquisite food. Fourth brother was just hungry, so he spoke rudely. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive him." Lin Qiuer explained with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze.

Gu Anqing shook his head gently, with an apologetic look on his face. "It was our negligence. We will definitely ask the kitchen to prepare more food next time." He instructed Changqing, "Changqing, go and notify the kitchen to increase the amount of food immediately."

Chang Qing nodded and agreed, "Master, I'll go right away." After that, he quickly walked to the door and told the servants to go to the kitchen to pass the message.

After entering the Gu Mansion, Lin Nanye remained silent and carefully observed the surroundings. He saw that Gu Anqing was not angry because of Lin Nanyue's offense, but sent someone to notify the kitchen to add more dishes. This person's demeanor is indeed extraordinary.

Lin Qiu'er originally wanted to seek Gu Anqing's help by helping his grandfather detoxify because she had saved his life. Now that she saw Gu Anqing's generosity and that he didn't seem like a stingy person, she began to feel a little ashamed of her original plan.

Should I stick to my original plan, or should I open my heart and make friends with him sincerely?

In an instant, Lin Qiuer fell into a tangled mood.

"Ms. Lin, have you encountered any difficult problems? If you need help, just ask." Gu Anqing saw through the distress on Lin Qiuer's face.

He was eager to know whether she had obtained the antidote to his grandfather's poison from the witch doctor, but he was also worried that she would misunderstand his intentions and think that he was threatening her.

After a long period of thinking, Lin Qiuer finally made a decision. She decided to be honest with Gu Anqing. If Gu Anqing was unwilling to help, then they would find another way.

"Mr. Gu, you may also know that my eldest brother disappeared while delivering a letter. He himself was not noticeable, so I guess that the letter might be the reason why he was hunted down." Lin Qiuer slowly stated her speculation.

"We need to find him and guard against the killer. Although we three brothers and sisters have some skills, it is sometimes difficult to do everything. Therefore, we hope to use Mr. Gu's manpower to find the whereabouts of our eldest brother together."

Gu Anqing nodded repeatedly, fearing that Lin Qiu'er would change her mind. "Ms. Lin, you saved my life. Whether from a moral or ethical point of view, our Gu family will not sit idly by. I will ask Uncle Cheng to send someone to follow you in the investigation."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gu." Lin Qiu'er stood up and bowed politely to express her gratitude. Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue also stood up and bowed with her.

"Please don't be too polite." Gu Anqing was unable to move, so he could only tell Chang Qing who was standing beside him, "Help them sit down quickly."

Changqing immediately stepped forward and helped the three of them sit down.

"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Gu Anqing said repeatedly, but he was thinking in his heart how to ask Lin Qiuer.

Lin Qiu'er was very thoughtful and soon noticed the indecisive look on Gu Anqing's face. She comforted him, "Don't worry, Master Gu. I got the antidote from the witch doctor when I came here. Take me to have a look around Old Master Gu's residence tomorrow morning."

"Just do as Miss Lin said." Gu Anqing felt relieved.
