Chapter 185: Chapter 185 This Disaster! Chapter 185: Chapter 185 This Disaster! Bai Yun, initially furious, felt her anger partially extinguished when she saw the sorry state of Gu Jiansheng and heard his words.
She stared at Gu Jiansheng, but her tone softened considerably as she directly asked, “Why were you not earnestly learning things at the store today, and instead speaking with a girl of questionable character?”
Gu Jiansheng sat on the sofa, took a sip of herbal tea, and raised an eyebrow with a smile, “Grandma, you found out so quickly?”
“I’m asking you a question.” Ning Wanru sat on the sofa opposite him and asked sternly.
“What do you an by a girl of questionable character? Grandma, you should recognize her. She’s the girl who nearly bumped into yesterday. She’s spotless, and I really like her.”
“What did you say?” Ning Wanru suddenly raised her voice.
Only Gu Cheng and her eldest grandson knew about her and Gu Qingfeng’s grievances; she hadn’t told anyone else.
After all, it was their job to enjoy themselves, there was no need for them to know these things.
Hence, Gu Jiansheng did not know the true identity of Gu Qiaoqiao.
“I said, I really like her.” Gu Jiansheng, always doted on by Ning Wanru, spoke carelessly in her presence. He walked over and sat beside Ning Wanru, acting coquettishly, “Grandma, this is the first ti I’ve liked a girl so much. If the man yesterday was her brother, I want to pursue her to be my girlfriend. Grandma, you’ll help then, won’t you?”
“Dream on, impossible!” Ning Wanru, infuriated, pushed Gu Jiansheng away and scolded fiercely, “I’m telling you, from now on you’re not allowed to see her, and that man yesterday is her husband. You better give up on this, stay properly at Yubao Square, and strive to learn everything Zhang Yi knows.”
Gu Jiansheng only heard the part that the man was her husband and seed unable to believe it. “Grandma, are you teasing ? Besides, how could you possibly know her situation so quickly, you must be lying to .”
“It’s true, you should know what I’m capable of. It’s easy to investigate soone, especially since she knows Zhang Yi. So, I’m seriously warning you, from now on, you are not to talk to her. If you dare to think about her or speak to her, I will break your legs, do you hear?”
Ning Wanru threatened half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Gu Jiansheng dejectedly hung his head.
He didn’t speak for a long while.
Ning Wanru was nearly driven mad with anger.
Just having t her once, and he’s already taken with her.
It seems she really needs to find a way to make her disappear.
This little wench.
She and her great grandma are cut from the sa cloth.
And Gu Qiaoqiao’s sister, at such a young age, is already drawing Luo Fan to constantly visit their ho.
Luo Fan, who is supposed to be betrothed to her second granddaughter, Gu Yalan.
She and the matriarch of the Luo Family had long agreed that Luo Fan and Gu Yalan would marry once Gu Yalan graduated from university.
It appears she not only clashes with Lady Yu but also with those two wretches just as much.
While she thought about how to ruin Gu Qiaoqiao and Qianqian, she showed no trace of it outwardly.
She suppressed her anger, still dignified and elegant, and softened her voice, “There are plenty of good girls out there. In the future, I will introduce you to even more beautiful and spotless girls, like Lin Qinghuan. She’s beautiful, has a clean deanor, and has studied abroad. You’re well-matched.”
Gu Jiansheng scoffed, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, “How is she beautiful? Besides, she doesn’t deserve the words ‘spotlessly clean.’ Grandma, you must be senile to say that.”
As he spoke, Gu Jiansheng stood up and added, “Grandma, you’re making a big deal out of nothing. I just have a slight impression of that girl, it’s not worth all this fuss. My life is already controlled by you all. When it cos to which girl I like, I’d really prefer you not to ddle anymore, otherwise, I truly might run away from ho.”
With that, Gu Jiansheng strode out.
Ning Wanru, furious, swept all the teacups off the table onto the floor.
This curse upon the family!
Gu Jiansheng, the most like her and her favorite child, had been spoiled since childhood, hardly ever talked back to her because of it.
“It’s all that bitch Gu Qiaoqiao.”
Knowing that Zhang Yi wasn’t ho, why did she still go there?
If she hadn’t gone, they wouldn’t have t, right?
She clenched her fists tightly, and after a mont, she sharply called for Steward Wu.
At that very mont, Gu Jiansheng stood with one hand on his hip, the other annoyingly running through his hair.
He had forgotten to ask Great Grandma about the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
But maybe it would have been pointless to ask anyway.
Great Grandma might not know.
Grandpa?
But Grandpa definitely knew.
You might not score tens of kilograms of Imperial Green, but Red Spirit Jade Marrow shouldn’t be that rare, right?
He drove excitedly toward the hospital.
But halfway there, he began to hesitate.
Grandpa didn’t like him, and he didn’t like Grandpa. Unless necessary, he rarely visited him.
But today, for the sake of that piece of jade, he had to tough it out and pay a visit, perhaps express so filial piety too, to keep the staff at Yubao Square from secretly despising him.
No matter, he’ll see when he gets there.
anwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao soon arrived ho, but she didn’t enter the Qin Family’s courtyard, instead she walked up to the Bai Family’s main gate and started knocking loudly.
Soon, the sound of sandals on the concrete was heard, and the door opened. Bai Yun saw it was Gu Qiaoqiao, and her initially calm face instantly turned cold and mockingly said, “Oh, what a distinguished guest, too bad, my family doesn’t welco you…”
“Cut the crap,” Gu Qiaoqiao rudely interjected, ditching Bai Yun’s sarcastic tone, and directly asked, “Why did you lie to about your uncle Zhang Yi coming back when he never did?”
Having said that, Gu Qiaoqiao stared at Bai Yun, watching for any change in her facial expressions.
Bai Yun was visibly taken aback. Her uncle hadn’t co back?
Then, as if rembering sothing, the corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile, “Perhaps the clerk at the store took a dislike to you and played a trick on you. Besides, nobody forced you to go. Who are you putting on this act of questioning for?”
“Was the person who called you male or female?” Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked.
“Of course he was male.”
“Wrong, I just ca from there, and it was all girls on duty today,” said Gu Qiaoqiao without even blinking.
With a look of calm disdain, Bai Yun replied, “Then how am I supposed to know?”
After giving Bai Yun a deep look, Gu Qiaoqiao turned and left.
Bai Yun stared daggers at Gu Qiaoqiao’s retreating back and cursed fiercely, “Crazy bitch.”
She then slamd the Bai family’s main gate shut with a bang.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t go inside but strolled around to the small garden at the back.
Shen Manru was average at cooking and housework, but she excelled at tending this little garden.
At that mont, the garden burst with colorful blooms, vying for attention; purple and crimson mingled, with butterflies and dragonflies fluttering among the flowers.
Gu Qiaoqiao sat down on a wooden bench under an arbor, thinking about what had just happened. Bai Yun hadn’t lied.
