1434: Back, Please

Back, Please

Xiu Jie had some more snow on his shoulders as he headed back to the gate. He opened the gate without dusting away the snowflakes.1

Seeing the gate was opened again, Gu Zhenkang understood that the message had been passed through, and that he could walk in to talk the deal with Gu Chaoyan. So he could not wait to walk in. He had not been very happy to wait in this terrible weather. He had hoped to warm himself inside.

Seeing that he was about to walk in, Xiu Jie stopped him with his sizeable body.

Honestly… Officer Gu was more thick-cheeked and arrogant than he had imagined.

Xiu Jie rolled his eyes, almost.

With his chin up, he said coldly, "Please leave, Officer Gu. Elder Miss isn't seeing you."

Gu Zhenkang had wanted to scold Xiu Jie for stopping him, when he heard his words. He was startled.

He looked at Xiu Jie in disbelief.

What was he talking about?

Gu Chaoyan was not seeing him?

He had already agreed to write her name back in the family tree and treat her as the Elder Miss, which was treated much better than Ruxue and Xiuying, but she still turned him down?

Gu Zhenkang laughed and asked, "That is exactly what your Elder Miss said?"

"…"

"She is too young to understand the advantages and disadvantages in this matter. Is she thinking that she is the Pheonix Girl already? Even if she is, so what? She doesn't have a father and her mother was a businesswoman. Tell her not to be stupid again and assume that she could survive without a family's help."

"…"

"Or does she think that she can rely on Lord Huai? She is so short-sighted. She is just a woman born by a businesswoman!"

"…"

"Tell your Elder Miss what I just said. I can forgive her for driving me out, but make sure she thinks this through. I not only have the Gu Family, but also the support of the Crown Prince. Just let your Elder Miss consider the merits and profits within," Gu Zhenkang said with his head held high.

Xiu Jie had no expression as he stood there.

Elder Miss already gave an order and as a servant, all he needed to do was to obey. He did not care about any other persuasions.

He gave a light cough. "I am shutting the gate now, Officer Gu."

Gu Zhenkang had thought that what he said would make Xiu Jie change his mind, but what Xiu Jie said made him feel offended. He showed a ferocious look on his face. "Let's just wait and see."

Then he left directly.

Stupid servant.

Those low-taste servants really thought that they could offend him? When Gu Chaoyan understood what she really needed, she would definitely punish those servants and take his side!

By that time, he was going to see if this servant would dare to act so arrogantly in front of him!

He got onto the wagon with a furious look on his face.

The gate of Xinlin Mansion was shut up directly.

At the Gu Mansion.
