Wang Pang felt as if Gu Xin had stabbed him in the heart, as if he could see his distant relatives secretly mocking him.
Gu Xin continued, "But Fatty Wang, you'd better work hard with me and not waste your time. I can't say I'll make you as good as my dad, but at least you can be a decent dad."
Wang Pang turned to look at Gu Xin, his face blank.
Gu Xin shook her head and said, "You can't possibly expect your father to raise a son for you! Your father can't even argue with your grandmother and your mother. The only son he could raise is someone like you, you know? I only asked you to work for me because your family has good morals, I happened to need someone, and I also wanted to give face to Lord Liu and Madam Liu. I'm not trying to harm you, and yet you're still unwilling!"
Fatty Wang quickly shook his head, his face jiggling as he did so: "Third Miss, nothing like that. I was just afraid you'd remember my boastful words that day, and that you'd hold a grudge against me and punish me. I'm afraid of hardship and fatigue, and I'm especially afraid of being beaten, so..."
Gu Xin rolled her eyes at him: "Am I such a petty person?"
Fatty Wang shook his head again: "No, no, Third Miss, you are the most magnanimous. I will work hard for you from now on. I also want to thank you for not minding my clumsiness."
Gu Xin nodded reluctantly: "Okay, good to know. Let me tell you, there are quite a few things I'll be doing with you. For example, when I'm investigating cases, you'll have to come with me when I go out. By the way, you have a place to stay in the capital, right?"
Fatty Wang found it quite interesting and nodded: "Yes, yes, my family has a house in the capital, not far from the Gu family. If the Third Miss needs anything, just send someone to tell me."
Gu Xin remembered that there seemed to be a family surnamed Wang around the street where they lived. It was said that Madam Wang was very wealthy, which was why she was able to acquire that house in that area. It must be Fatty Wang's house.
Gu Xin nodded and continued, "When we're investigating a case, Bai Er will often come along. So first of all, you need to practice your carriage-driving skills. I'll tell you what to do then. When we're not investigating a case, I'm basically at home. Don't think you can rest at home during this time. When I'm home, you should come to my house. I have a martial arts training ground. Go there and practice when you have time; it will be good for you."
Fatty Wang was shocked: "Third Miss, I... I've never practiced martial arts, never. I'm afraid my physique isn't up to it."
Gu Xin waved her hand: "Who told you to practice martial arts? To improve your agility. Anyway, don't worry about it. Just do whatever I tell you to do. If you don't want to, I can send you to the Royal Academy. Although you're too old, I can still pull some strings to get you in."
Fatty Wang: "!"
The Royal Academy is under Lord Gu's jurisdiction, and Prince Lu is also there. Good heavens, if they find out about my offense to the Third Miss the day before yesterday, I'll definitely be severely punished!
Let's forget it, it's safer to stay with the Third Sister.
Let it be a martial arts arena!
Seeing that he had given up struggling, Gu Xin continued, "Also, I might go out to play, and you'll have to come with me. That means that when there's nothing going on, you'll be with me except at night when you're at home. When there's something going on, like investigating a case, you'll have to stay by my side. As for places like brothels and casinos, you can completely forget about them!"
