Chu Peng tapped his glass, appearing a bit nervous. He glanced at Sun Qingyang, then cleared his throat and said, "I originally planned to let you finish your meal before talking to you about this, but since you seem to have lost your appetite, I'll start now."
Gu Lanshan nodded and responded with an "Mm."
Instead of speaking directly, Chu Peng simply stared at Gu Lanshan. This left her inexplicably nervous, her heart mirroring his unexplained tension. Her eyes began to dart around in a state of panic, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the chopsticks resting on the table.
It was actually only a minute, but to the three of them, it felt like an eternity had passed.
Chu Peng didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Is your mother's name Ye Yao?"
Gu Lanshan was taken aback, blinking her eyes, and said, "Uncle Chu, do you know her?"
