Pfft...
Gu Xinyi's words amused everyone.
Instead, her cheeks flushed red, and she felt a pang of embarrassment.
Coveting the lord's good looks?
Which young woman present didn't covet it? But that depended on whether the lord would give her the opportunity.
Gu Hongxun, who was standing to the side deep in thought, was also staring intently at Bai Qianmo.
Those eyes were so wide they were almost as big as a bull's eyes.
"Bai Qianmo, I didn't expect you to actually have such thoughts? You didn't listen to a word I just said. How dare you have such improper ideas about someone of my Seventh Uncle's status? Someone like you isn't even worthy of carrying my Seventh Uncle's shoes!"
Gu Hongxun was furious inside, and deep down he felt a sense of shame and indignation.
Her fair face flushed crimson, and she wished her eyes could shoot out knives, wanting to stab Bai Qianmo, that frivolous woman, to death.
He had assumed she came for him, and had just spoken so confidently. But now, recalling Bai Qianmo's gaze at that moment, he could clearly see disdain...
Human nature seems to be like this for most of the time.
I can dislike you, I can despise you, I can abandon you, but you can't like someone else under my nose.
Most people would feel unhappy if their own things were taken away by someone else.
Even if that "thing" is something I don't care about at all.
Gu Hongxun was in this state of mind at that moment.
He was already certain that Bai Qianmo was interested in him, but he never expected that this brat's target was actually his seventh uncle.
This is a matter of a man's pride, so Gu Hongxun now has the urge to tear Bai Qianmo apart.
His expression was as if he were wearing a green hat on his head.
"Who said that?" Gu Jueye asked slowly.
“Seventh Uncle…” Gu Hongxun looked astonished.
Gu Jueye, fearing that Gu Hongxun might have been scared to death, turned to Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu and said, "No wonder I've been single all this time. It turns out that people have been spreading rumors about me behind my back."
Gu Hongxun looked like he'd just swallowed shit. What had he just heard?
I was clearly standing up for Uncle Seven, so why did Uncle Seven sabotage me instead?
Gu Jueye glanced coldly at Gu Hongxun: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll have Gu Jingyu sew a few stitches into your mouth. Maybe that will correct your gossipy habit."
Gu Jingyu rubbed his fair hands together and chuckled sinisterly.
"Sewing is my specialty."
Gu Hongxun's face paled, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The third son of the Gu family stepped forward and slapped his son on the back of the head.
“Ah Ye, Hongxun is young and doesn’t know any better. I’ll definitely discipline him when I get back. Hongxun, hurry up and apologize to your seventh uncle.”
Gu Hongxun felt like he had been slapped on the back of the head in public. As a celebrity, he felt like his face had been rubbed into the ground.
She dared not look at Gu Jueye, and even less dared to look at Bai Qianmo.
He was afraid that when he looked over, Bai Qianmo would be staring at him with disdain.
"Seventh Uncle, I was wrong."
Seeing that Gu Hongxun had adopted a very humble attitude, Gu Jueye slowly responded and glanced at Gu Xinyi.
Gu Xinyi turned pale with fright and quickly hid behind Ye Yuzhen.
Ye Yuzhen wiped the embarrassment from her face and quickly smiled at Gu Jueye, saying, "Xinyi is just worried that you'll be deceived, Seventh Brother, you see..."
Before Ye Yuzhen could finish speaking, Gu Jueye sneered, "Are you saying that I'm dumber than her?"
Bai Qianmo, standing to the side, bit her lip, afraid that she would laugh out loud.
This man is truly something else when it comes to finding fault. I used to wonder why the younger generation of the Gu family were afraid of him, but today I witnessed just how terrifying he can be when he gets angry.
But she thought it was incredibly cool!
It seems that whenever she's leveling up or fighting monsters, with this man by her side, she can only happily follow behind, picking up treasures.
"No...no, that's not what I meant, Seventh Brother, don't misunderstand. I meant that Xinyi was worried about you too, really..."
Seeing Gu Jueye's cold expression, Ye Yuzhen took a deep breath.
He knew that if he didn't get an explanation today, that kid Lao Qi wouldn't let it go.
He turned around and slapped Gu Xinyi hard across the face.
"Mom, how could you hit me?" Gu Xinyi was instantly enraged.
Ye Yuzhen coldly rebuked, "How many times have I reminded you to keep your mouth shut after you leave the house and not cause trouble for me? You actually dared to meddle in your seventh uncle's business! You brat, wait till I get home, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Gu Tingjun, the second son of the Gu family, looked at his beloved daughter with a pained expression.
But seeing that Gu Jueye was standing there and showed no sign of stopping, he could only watch helplessly.
After Gu Xinyi was dealt with, Gu Jueye turned his attention to Bai Qianmo.
"Don't listen to the nonsense from the younger generation, I'm actually not that hard to pursue."
Bai Qianmo: "..."
Is he reminding himself that he can take the initiative to pursue him?
Everyone around him stared at Gu Jueye with faces as if struck by lightning.
What did the lord mean by that last sentence? Was he inviting someone to pursue him?
No, the Duke's gaze was directed at Bai Qianmo just now.
My God, what kind of amazing move is this?
What is the relationship between Lord Jue and Bai Qianmo?
The Duke actually made Bai Qianmo pursue him? Has the world become a fantasy world...?
Qin Lin looked at her son, who had already been abducted, with a face full of disappointment and frustration.
They say that once a son grows up, he's no longer under his mother's control, but this kid is doing the opposite of what she says now.
Needless to say, Ye Qianning's face turned red and white in turns.
Ye Mengyao's face was furrowed, and she felt a vague unease in her heart.
The lord seemed uninterested in Ye Qianning, but his gaze towards Bai Qianmo softened considerably.
None of them were fools; at this moment, they vaguely understood a bit of the mystery.
Qin Lin had a high opinion of Ye Qianning, but the Duke didn't seem to be interested in her.
Before everyone could even recover from their stunned silence, Gu Jueye walked up to Bai Qianmo and, in full view of everyone, took the wallet from her hand.
I carefully unwrapped the packaging paper, opened the box, and examined it closely for a while.
"The wallet suits my style perfectly!"
Everyone was completely stunned.
Even Bai Qianmo looked a little embarrassed at this moment. A wallet worth 3999 yuan suited Gu Jueye's temperament?
Only he would dare to say something like that!
The two members of the Gu family who usually followed and protected Gu Jueye in secret were secretly laughing.
"Our Seventh Master's outrageous moves come one after another. He helped Miss Bai teach the younger generation a lesson, and he even treasured that wallet that everyone was mocking. If anyone here still can't understand this, they're a pig."
"Seventh Master clearly wants the whole world to know that Miss Bai's relationship with him is... ambiguous!"
"Hehe, you're right. Seventh Master must be secretly delighted holding the wallet Miss Bai gave him."
