"I'd rather die than believe Mo Li would lie!"
"The truth doesn't matter anymore, I'm still going to watch Mo Li put on an act! No one can stop me! My father also said he'd invest 100 million!"
"Hey rich guy upstairs, please take me away! I don't ask for much, just let me be an extra for Mo Li once, I don't want any appearance fee!"
"Add one, add one, I want one too!"
Hua Baixian was stunned by the comments. She knew Gu Liyan wasn't home; he must have gone out to look for work. But what had happened in just one morning? This news was like a revolution, with everyone trying to clear his name!
There was a sudden noise at the door, and Hua Baixian hurriedly ran out—
"Master, please teach me! I'll pay you tuition, how about 100,000 per lesson?" Zhang Tianyu followed Gu Liyan in, carrying gifts.
"I don't have time to teach you, I still have to earn money to support my family!" Gu Liyan said irritably.
“Being my mentor is a job too! How about 200,000 per class?” Zhang Tianyu said eagerly.
Hua Baixian came out and looked at Gu Liyan and Zhang Tianyu with a puzzled expression. "Xiao Li? What's going on?" Hua Baixian was referring to the news.
Gu Liyan smiled wryly, "I couldn't stand watching this kid act, so I stepped in and gave him some pointers."
Zhang Tianyu muttered, "This isn't a hint; it's clearly a textbook reenactment!"
Gu Liyan recounted what had happened that morning. Hua Baixian stared wide-eyed at Gu Liyan with a look of suspicion, while Gu Liyan simply smiled warmly.
Hua Baixian said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll go make some."
Gu Liyan nodded and sat down on the sofa in the living room. The sofa was a bit worn and dirty, and Zhang Tianyu didn't know whether to stand or sit properly. He hurriedly said, "Master, how about I treat you and your wife to dinner?"
Gu Liyan glanced at Zhang Tianyu and said with a smile, "Don't call me master, I don't plan to take on any disciples."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyu gritted his teeth and sat down next to Gu Liyan. "Master, please accept me as your student. I'll pay you tuition, okay?"
Gu Liyan said irritably, "Keep your distance!"
Zhang Tianyu hurriedly stepped back and said with a fawning expression, "Master, please agree?"
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "If you want to be my apprentice, have a meal with me first."
"Great!" Zhang Tianyu exclaimed with delight.
Zhang Tianyu was speechless as soon as the food was on the table. There were two dishes, both of which were cabbages. If he didn't know he was human, Zhang Tianyu would suspect that he was a domesticated rabbit!
Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian were enjoying their meal, but Zhang Tianyu hadn't touched his chopsticks yet.
"If you don't like your master's wife's cooking, then go out to eat," Gu Liyan said without changing his expression.
"Okay!" Zhang Tianyu was about to stand up when he noticed that neither Gu Liyan nor Hua Baixian had moved.
So, "going out to eat" meant he was going out to eat alone.
