Chapter 11 Betrayal
hall.
The servant was kneeling on the carpet, massaging Mrs. Gu's legs.
Mrs. Gu leaned on the sofa, looking in a good mood, her well-maintained face gentle as water and radiant.
She instructed the housekeeper to arrange for the director to deliver the new season's jewelry to her home.
The butler looked respectful and nodded repeatedly.
Madam Gu said, "Ask the director to select one. If there is any suitable for a young girl, give one to Zhiyue."
Jiang Zhiyue was standing nearby, and when she heard this, she quickly refused.
Madam Gu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Zhiyue has grown up, and has become a big girl. I have watched you grow up, and I should give you a gift of adulthood."
"Mr. Zhaoye got into trouble, and I had to delay your studies to do the cleanup work. I feel bad about that."
Mrs. Gu was gentle and charming, warm on the outside but cold on the inside. In her opinion, even if Gu Zhaoye killed someone, it was no big deal. He was just a lowly mistress.
Gu Zhaoye was fined to do public welfare work, but as long as he got a full score from the public welfare center, the matter would be over.
The laws of Brandenburg stipulated that if nobles committed acts that endangered society, they had to atone their sins through labor, but the nobles had always disdained labor and always arranged for others to do it. The authorities also turned a blind eye to this. As long as they got full marks and gave an explanation to the uninformed public, that was enough.
"Let's go to Maria Orphanage this time. You are already very familiar with the children there. They like you very much and gave Zhaoye full marks." Mrs. Gu said, "I will tell the principal that you don't have to go to school for the next two days."
Jiang Zhiyue nodded and said "hmm".
Madam Gu asked again: "Did Zhaoye go out to drink some time ago?"
Jiang Zhiyue was about to nod when Gu Zhaoye came back, holding two Doberman Pinschers with black background and fawn markings. Their shiny fur showed that they were well-fed.
He pulled at the leash, but the huge Doberman bit the rope frantically and refused to obey his commands.
Gu Zhaoye cursed, "Chu Junyue's dog is really as bad as Chu Junyue."
Mrs. Gu didn't like small animals. She took a look and then frowned, "What are you doing? Where did you get it from?"
"This is Chu Junyue's dog. I'm borrowing it to play with for two days."
Gu Zhaoye was in a good mood. He looked up and saw Jiang Zhiyue standing beside him obediently, which made him feel even better.
He pretended to loosen the rope and let the dog bite her.
"Woof!" The Doberman barked fiercely.
Jiang Zhiyue remained calm and didn't even look at him.
Gu Zhaoye was asking for trouble, and the moment the rope was released, he grabbed the traction rope tightly.
He walked leisurely to Mrs. Gu and sat down. The two Dobermans also lay on the ground. Mrs. Gu was a germaphobe and her eyes could not hide her disdain. "Why did you borrow this thing to your home? Return it as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will scare the family."
"Return it after use." Gu Zhaoye was casually crossing his long legs. He was dressed very casually, a simple T-shirt that looked elegant. The only accessory on his body was the dragon-patterned ring on his knuckles.
He looked at Jiang Zhiyue, then quickly looked away, and said in a low voice, "Why is she here?"
"It's because you've been causing trouble everywhere. I asked Zhiyue to help you clean up the mess." Madam Gu said, "Mom feels bad about it and plans to give her a gift."
"She was hired by you, and she meets all the requirements of the employer. Isn't that free of charge?" Gu Zhaoye smiled coldly. Even though he was sitting lazily and shapelessly, his eyes were filled with condescending pride, and the harsh attitude of a nobleman was integrated into his bones.
"Stop causing trouble. It's not worth sacrificing your own future for a mistress of your father." Mrs. Gu said softly.
Gu Zhaoye didn't care. "She's just a lowly mistress, so just kill her."
Precisely because she was a lowly mistress, there was no need for Gu Zhaoye to take action. She had her own way of handling it. However, Gu Zhaoye would not tolerate any sand in his eyes and would take action immediately when he saw it.
"Your father will scold you again when he comes back." Mrs. Gu sighed.
Gu Zhaoye patted the Doberman's head and said, "That's great. I'll wait."
Madam Gu shook her head. "The old man's condition has worsened again, and your father is worried. During this period, you should behave yourself, otherwise the elders in the family will say that you have bad behavior and are not qualified to be the heir."
"If you continue to be such a shabby person in the future, they will never allow you to take over the family business."
The mother and son sat on the sofa and chatted about family matters. Gu Zhaoye hummed a few times nonchalantly and didn't even glance at Jiang Zhiyue, as if she was a transparent person. In his mind, she was no different from those standing maids.
Mrs. Gu picked up the fragrant tea on the table and talked to the housekeeper, but he quickly glanced in the direction of Jiang Zhiyue and raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Zhiyue avoided the young master's direct gaze.
It's so blatant that it's hard to ignore.
She understood what was hidden in Gu Zhaoye's eyes. It was full of burning desire.
"Zhao Ye, what do you think about what your grandma told you last time?" Mrs. Gu asked with a smile.
Gu Zhaoye lowered his eyes, touched the dog's head, and his expression suddenly darkened, "Not very good, the daughter of the Xia family, I don't like her."
"Then what kind do you like?" Madam Gu asked gently with a smile on her face. "There are so many girls from noble families, there must be one you like. Look at Qin Si, he looks cold on the outside, but he's actually engaged."
"The Bai family got a great deal. If it weren't for Yanzhu saving Qin Si, they would never have been able to get into the Qin family in their lifetime."
“Although the Bai family’s development momentum is not bad, and everyone is in a high position, but its foundation cannot be compared with that of the Qin family.”
Gu Zhaoye just felt it was noisy. He wanted to look up at Jiang Zhiyue's expression, but Mrs. Gu kept nagging in his ear. He said impatiently, "Pretty, as long as she's pretty, I like her."
Madam Gu smiled faintly, "Zhiyue is very beautiful, do you like her?"
Gu Zhaoye was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said in a sharp voice, "Don't you even consider whether she is worthy of you?"
Jiang Zhiyue's face was so pure that it seemed as if she was not of this world. No man would not be moved.
However, seeing Gu Zhaoye's cold eyes, Mrs. Gu felt relieved. Although this son was sometimes not very reasonable, he still knew his identity.
Madam Gu smiled gently and waved, "Zhiyue, you haven't told me yet, did Zhaoye drink alcohol some time ago?"
"The young master attended a party and drank a few bottles." Jiang Zhiyue's voice was very pleasant. Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, the refracted light fell on her face. Her skin was pink and tender, like a newly blooming petal.
Like a peach blossom.
Gu Zhaoye's eyes deepened. As long as he looked at her face, he would not calm down even if she betrayed him.
But he hated this feeling of being out of control.
"You're quite good at using me to please my mother." Gu Zhaoye frowned, unable to hide his annoyance, "You dare to complain in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Jiang Zhiyue remained silent.
Madam Gu smoothed things over and patted his hands, "I arranged for Zhiyue to supervise you for your own good. Don't you appreciate your mother's kindness?"
