Gu Qi knew his excuse was too clumsy and wouldn't fool Lin Chuxia, so he could only try his best and said, "I'm telling the truth. Young Madam, why don't you go back and stay overnight?"
Lin Chuxia resolutely refused: "That won't do! If I don't come home at night in my current situation, I'll definitely get scolded."
Staying overnight meant sharing a roof with Gu Yuheng, a thought that felt dangerous. She was trying to avoid it as much as possible, let alone stay overnight!
In the end, Gu Qi naturally failed to persuade Lin Chuxia to return to Biyue Huating and could only watch helplessly as Lin Chuxia left.
"Third Master, are you just going to let the young mistress leave like this?"
"Otherwise what? Are you expecting her to stay and watch you perform what it means to be mentally challenged?" Gu Yuheng retorted coldly.
"Isn't my stupidity due to the influence of your low emotional intelligence during this time?" However, Gu Qi only dared to mutter these words to himself and did not dare to say them out loud.
"But don't you talk to the young mistress about anything? For example, about things that happened online?"
He clearly left work and traveled a long way because he was worried that the young mistress would be upset by the online comments, but all he said was that he was just passing by?!
"What do you want me to say to her?"
"Whatever you say is fine! It's such a waste to just let this opportunity to meet go to waste!"
For example, going up to someone and saying a few comforting words, and then hugging them directly in your arms, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Gu Yuheng's eyes swept over Gu Qi, whose expression was somewhat swaying, and his tone was stern: "Drive your car!"
"Oh!" Gu Qi was still a little disappointed. "Third Master, how about we help the young mistress with the public relations work later, and then you can make a phone call to comfort her?"
"Who said you were going to help with public relations?"
"But you came all this way just to help the young mistress solve her problems, didn't you?!" Gu Qi looked like she'd seen a ghost.
Gu Yuheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a calm tone, "She didn't say she needed help just now."
Gu Qi: "!!!???"
Just because the young mistress didn't speak up, you're not going to help?!
What kind of twisted logic is this?!
Are you still the young mistress's husband?!
No wonder the young mistress never loves being at home; it turns out the third master is just too unreliable!
Sigh, if the young mistress hadn't been so naive and had been tricked into marrying the Third Master long ago, he probably would have remained single for life!
Based on Third Master's usual attitude towards the young mistress, if they hadn't been by his side every day and knew his thoughts, they would probably have thought that Third Master had no feelings for the young mistress!
...
While Gu Qi was silently shedding tears for her master's emotional intelligence, Lin Chuxia had already returned to the An family.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xie Jinya's long face.
"Stop right there! Where have you been all day?!"
"I'm just going to wander around outside. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll head back to my room now!"
"Come back! Did I tell you to go back to your room? Stand right there and don't leave!"
"You've really got some nerve! Don't think that just because you didn't grow up around us, we can't control you, huh?"
"You're a good-for-nothing. You got into a diploma mill and everyone knows it, causing your father and me to be openly and secretly ridiculed and humiliated. And you still have the nerve to complain?!"
Xie Jinya seemed quite angry; her face had turned somewhat pale.
"When did I complain?" Who did I complain to, and to whom did I complain? Lin Chuxia was completely confused by Xie Jinya's words and felt utterly bewildered.
