"Okay, okay, don't get suffocated later!"
Chen Zhizhou pulled her out and coaxed her for a long time.
"I've almost finished drawing the shop's blueprints. Mr. Huang has agreed to help today, so it won't be long before we can open it. I plan to find some people tomorrow to set up the shop according to the blueprints."
"Um."
Chen Zhizhou pondered for a moment, "I have something to do tomorrow and won't be able to take a day off, so I'll let Lu Feng follow you!"
Le Feng was the secret guard he had carefully trained, so he would feel more at ease having him accompany Gu Qing.
"No, I can do it myself."
Gu Qing doesn't like the feeling of being followed.
"The last incident was obviously directed at you. I'm really worried about letting you go out alone. Le Feng's skills are no less than mine. I can only feel at ease if he protects you."
Seeing that she was still trying to argue, Chen Zhizhou said helplessly: "How about this! If I can handle things quickly tomorrow, I will rush back and accompany you. If not, then I will have to let Lu Feng follow you."
"Don't worry, I trained him personally, he's absolutely loyal."
His tone was firm and brooked no room for argument.
Seeing this, Gu Qing stopped worrying about it.
No matter what, it was always his good intention!
"I've thought it through. Tomorrow, in addition to finding some workers, I can also find some skilled craftsmen with good carving skills. This way, I can save a lot of money on tables, chairs, counters, etc. in the shop."
Chen Zhizhou half-closed his eyes, and when he heard her voice, he became increasingly sleepy.
…
The next morning.
Before Gu Qing opened his eyes, there was a noise outside.
"Cui Ru, what happened?"
She couldn't sleep because of the noise, so she frowned, opened her eyes, and her face was full of displeasure.
Cuiru was a new maid. When she heard the young lady's voice coming from inside the house, she immediately ran in and respectfully reported the situation outside.
"Young Madam, it's... it's someone from the Gu Mansion who came to cause trouble. They kept saying they were your sister, and the servants couldn't stop them."
Fortunately, Feng was there, so the woman was prevented from breaking in.
However, seeing the woman's domineering and arrogant look, she was really worried about Feng, wondering how long he could hold on.
"Gu Miao? What is she doing here?"
Gu Qing's sleepiness subsided a lot. He narrowed his eyes and felt confused.
But after a while she understood, and her eyes raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic and disdainful smile.
The poison must have taken effect.
If something happened to her, she would definitely think of herself first. But now she came to my house without any regard for the good reputation she had built over the years. I guess she must have consulted countless doctors, but none of them could cure her face.
Mr. Huang is really amazing!
Gu Qing admired him in his heart, and at the same time, another idea came to his mind.
"Tell Cuiping to invite the person to the main hall."
Then she asked Cuiru to change her clothes and wash up for her, deliberately dragging out the time.
…
In the main hall.
"Where are they? Why haven't they come yet?"
Gu Miao had a thin veil covering her face. She was sitting on a chair anxiously, looking outside from time to time. When she saw no one coming, she became more and more angry.
"Gu Qing, come out!"
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're married. Believe it or not, I'll tell my father right away about what you've done and let him teach you a lesson..."
Her eyes were filled with anger and she shouted at the top of her lungs, fearing that no one could hear her.
"Miss, please stop shouting. Our young mistress said she'll be here soon."
It was the first time Cuiping had seen such a fierce and unruly young lady, so she had no choice but to stop her.
Gu Miao completely ignored her and even said to her, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you try to persuade me? Believe it or not, I will order someone to drag you out and beat you to death right now!"
Her eyes were ferocious and her face was distorted as she spoke.
Cuiping shrank back in fear.
Seeing this, Gu Miao became even more proud, and even raised his hand to fan Cuiping.
Cuiping didn't dare to resist and could only close her eyes and accept it silently.
'Snap!'
There was a crisp slap sound, but Cuiping didn't feel any pain at all.
She opened her eyes in surprise and saw a startling scene - Gu Qing had arrived at some point and grabbed Gu Miao's hand.
He slapped him with his backhand decisively, then slammed his other hand away.
My face is burning and stinging!
Especially since there was still a pus-filled sore on her face that had not healed yet, Gu Qing used all his strength in the slap, which made her gasp and twitch in pain.
Gu Miao stared at her intently, his eyes like poisoned arrows.
If looks could kill, Gu Qing would have been torn into pieces countless times by her.
"Gu Qing! You dare to hit me..."
She gritted her teeth.
"My elder sister is like a mother to me. Why shouldn't I beat her?"
Gu Qing sneered, rubbed his aching wrist, and there was only coldness between his eyebrows.
"Look at how you looked just now. You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all. If this gets out, how will outsiders view you, your father, and the Gu family?"
"Also, this is the Chen Mansion, not a place where you can act wild. It's not your turn to teach my maid a lesson."
Gu Miao's face was full of resentment, but when his father was mentioned, he didn't dare to refute.
She knew in her heart that Father Gu cared most about his reputation. Even if he doted on her and her aunt, he would never forgive anyone who damaged his reputation.
So she could only purse her lips and glare at Gu Qing fiercely.
Gu Qing naturally knew what she was thinking, but he didn't care.
