Everyone: "..."
However, even if you follow, it's the same as not following.
Gu Yuheng, once again met with disdain from everyone, was speechless.
...
Jinxiu Villa is very large.
Tao Qinghua and the others usually stayed in the guest area, while Gu Yuheng moved into the Lin family's courtyard for some reason.
Therefore, during the time Gu Yuheng stayed at the Lin family's house, he didn't actually run into Tao Qinghua. Of course, even if they had, they might not have recognized each other, since they belonged to different circles.
While Gu Yuheng was staying at the Lin family home, although he kept an eye on Lin Chuxia's every move, he never intended to monitor her constantly. There was no need for that, and he also had his own matters to attend to.
Therefore, he would usually put down his work and come out of his room after Lin Chuxia returned to the courtyard, quietly making his presence known by watching her do things or trying to find a way to talk to her.
However, this latter method usually angers Lin Chuxia and leads to an unpleasant breakup, so he mostly uses the first method—quietly watching from the sidelines without saying anything.
Moreover, Lin Chuxia's daily routine and activity schedule are generally very regular. Apart from going to school, sleeping, and eating, she spends most of her time playing in the yard or doing homework in the study.
He knew that Lin Chuxia would go to the guest area every week when she had free time, but he never suspected anything. After all, Lin Chuxia was the owner of Jinxiu Manor, so what was so strange about her going to check on her own estate?
Anyway, Gu Yuheng didn't think he had done anything wrong.
His love for the little girl is beyond question.
Anyway, he only likes her as a person, nothing else.
...
Since she couldn't find the answer from Gu Yuheng, Lin Chuxia was once again surrounded by everyone's attention when she returned from the restroom.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
"Xiaxia, tell us, how exactly did you meet Master Tao?" Gu Hongxiu smiled gently, but she still gave off the feeling of the Big Bad Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.
Lin Chuxia twitched her lips and then said, "Just like I said before, he is my guest."
"That's it?" Gu Hongxiu clearly didn't believe it. "Then what about Master Tao saying you're his master?"
When asked this question, even Fang Jiaxi couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.
"He's a foodie."
Yes, very few people know that the renowned Master Tao is actually a foodie in private, especially fond of various ancient and elegant dishes.
"Many of the dishes at Jinxiu Manor were developed by me. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat good food again after leaving Jinxiu Valley, so he learned to cook from me. However, Old Tao's cooking talent is really... hard to describe."
When Lin Chuxia got to this point, her expression was one of utter disgust.
“Teaching him to cook was really exhausting, so I eventually stopped teaching him. Then he forced me to learn piano with him, saying it was in exchange for that… that’s about it. You probably know what happened next.”
Lin Chuxia explained everything in just a few words.
However, everyone could easily imagine the scene of Tao Qinghua, a man in his fifties, being scolded and criticized by a teenage girl for his poor cooking skills... It was truly hilarious.
