"Anyway, I'm not giving up. You shameless woman, just wait to be dumped by Brother Gu!"
Then she ran away angrily.
Lin Chuxia: "..."
After spending the last few days together, Lin Chuxia had roughly figured out this young lady's temperament. She was somewhat childish, willful, and spoiled, but her nature was good.
Even if I don't like her usually, at most I'll glare at her or give her a perfunctory "shameless" remark like I just did.
...
During dinner that evening, Fang Jiaxi glanced cautiously at Gu Yuheng, then brought up her upcoming apprenticeship ceremony on Saturday again. She looked at Gu Yuheng expectantly and said, "Third Brother Gu, I'm a little nervous. Um... could you come with me on Saturday and cheer me on?"
Gu Yuheng refused outright and without hesitation: "I don't have time."
Fang Jiaxi's tone was somewhat urgent: "But, aren't you always at home on the weekend?"
She had already learned from Uncle Zhong that Third Brother Gu usually didn't go to the company on weekends, so how could he not have time?
Gu Yuheng: "I need to spend time with my wife."
Fang Jiaxi's eyes instantly reddened. She glared at Lin Chuxia with some resentment, then looked at Gu Yuheng and pleaded, "Third Brother Gu, this matter is very important to me. It could affect my entire future... Could you please spare a morning to come with me?"
"That's your future, not mine. What does it have to do with me?" Gu Yuheng said calmly.
That was a bit much. Lin Chuxia noticed that the little girl opposite her was almost crying. She quickly tugged at Gu Yuheng's clothes under the table, signaling him to soften his tone.
Gu Yuheng dared not disobey his wife's orders.
He sighed silently, then put down his chopsticks: "Actually..."
Fang Jiaxi's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him expectantly.
Gu Yuheng pondered how to speak in a gentler tone. After a moment's thought, he lowered his voice, speaking softly and gently, giving the impression of an elder earnestly admonishing a younger person.
"If you fail to become an apprentice, it's because you're not good enough. Don't make so many excuses for yourself."
Lin Chuxia: ? ! !
No, these words sound even more heartless than what she just said! Did Gu Yuheng misunderstand what she meant?!
At the other end of the table, Fang Jiaxi ran away crying.
Lin Chuxia: "..."
This little incident passed quickly, and neither Lin Chuxia nor Gu Yuheng took it to heart.
...
Saturday arrived quickly.
After breakfast, Lin Chuxia saw Fang Jiaxi carrying a backpack, running up to her hesitantly: "Um... could you give me a ride?"
"Huh?" Lin Chuxia looked at her, puzzled.
"Well... the driver I booked suddenly said he had something to do and couldn't pick me up... so, could you take me there?" Fang Jiaxi asked, looking at Lin Chuxia nervously.
Actually, it wasn't the driver who broke the contract; she canceled the order herself.
Because Gu Yuheng had previously stated that Fang Jiaxi could stay with them, but she had to arrange for herself to go back to the old house to practice the piano every weekend; he would not arrange for anyone to pick her up and drop her off.
Gu Yuheng's original intention was to make Fang Jiaxi give up and move out of Biyue Huating.
Unfortunately, Fang Jiaxi did not back down from the challenge; instead, she rose to the occasion.
So, it was decided that every weekend, Fang Jiaxi would take a taxi to the old house to practice the piano.
