While the Su family was having a lively family meal together, the Gu family's side still seemed a bit quiet.
At noon, Uncle Zhong told Qiu Shun that the flowers in the garden didn't need watering, so in the afternoon, Wu Shan didn't pay the tax for the flowers, but instead took a broom and swept the garden.
In fact, the cleaning of the entire Gu family manor is done entirely by robots, requiring no human intervention whatsoever.
Uncle Zhong shook his head as he watched Wu Shan sweeping the ground at the front door while cautiously peering across the street. He thought that when the young master returned, he would definitely have to discuss with him about letting Wu Shan live alone. Even if he had to hire someone to take care of Wu Shan there, it would be better than her developing any inappropriate thoughts.
What Uncle Zhong didn't expect was that before he could even talk to Gu Chen about it, Wu Shan went to visit the Su family on her own.
When her father was in critical condition, Gu Chen took her to the Su family once. The Su family's security guards knew her identity, so they didn't stop her when she went in.
When she arrived at the Su family home, the family was still having dinner.
After arriving at the Su family on impulse, she became habitually awkward upon seeing the entire family. She nervously clutched her skirt, took a deep breath, and tried to muster the courage to greet everyone, but she still couldn't bring herself to say a word.
She was just thinking of sneaking back before anyone noticed her.
Grandma, who happened to be sitting at the head of the table, saw the figure at the door through the gap in the carved partition and asked with some doubt, "Why does it look like a little girl is standing at the door?"
Hearing Grandma's words, everyone looked towards the door.
Most of the Su family members knew Wu Shan, but the Xiao family members had never met her before. Seeing an unfamiliar young girl suddenly appear at their doorstep, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Xiao Jue, who was about the same age.
Xiao Jue, who was quietly eating, suddenly attracted everyone's attention and quickly denied it three times: "Don't look at me, I don't know him, he's not my classmate!"
At this moment, Gu Chen stood up and explained, "They are my guests."
As soon as Gu Chen uttered those words, the Xiao brothers first glanced at the Su brothers, and then their eyes changed when they looked at Gu Chen. They looked at him as if he were a heartless man, and their eyes were full of threat.
If Gu Chen dares to make Xiao Ruanruan sad, they can beat him to death anytime!
Even Grandma frowned slightly, and her gaze toward Gu Chen and Wu Shan became somewhat displeased.
Seeing Gu Chen stand up, Wu Shan became even more nervous, clutching her dress tighter, and stammered as she tried to explain, "Mr. Gu, I...I..."
Then, steeling herself, she said in one breath, "I've come to visit Xiao Ruanruan?"
Little Ruanruan was happily eating the fish meat that her third brother had picked the bones out for her, her cheeks were stuffed full. She originally wanted to finish this bite and then greet Wu Shan.
Now that Wu Shan had spoken first, she had no choice but to raise her little head with food in her mouth, look at Wu Shan with a smile, and say indistinctly, "Hello, Sister Shan Shan, what can I do for you?"
Wu Shan was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, but now that the conversation has started, she's not so nervous anymore. "Little Ruan Ruan, I heard that you play the piano exceptionally well."
"Since you're teaching piano to others right now, can I learn from you too?"
Xiao Ruanruan had already decided to call Danqing tonight to explain that Chen Jie no longer needed her tutoring. So, she solemnly told Wu Shan, "Sister Shanshan, Chen Jie no longer needs to take piano lessons. Besides, you and Chen Jie have different skill levels, so you can't take lessons together."
Xiao Ruanruan originally wanted to explain to Wu Shan that piano teaching is different from academic classes, and that one-on-one teaching is generally needed to learn it well.
But she paused for a moment, and before she could speak again, Wu Shan grabbed her skirt with both hands and pinched it, looking at Xiao Ruanruan with pitiful eyes, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances. "Xiao Ruanruan, do you look down on me because I come from the countryside, don't have money, and can't give you much tuition?"
As soon as she said that, Feng Xin'er, Qianqian, and Qin Sihan all looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
Before, they all felt sorry for Wu Shan, after all, her family was poor and her father had just passed away.
But it wasn't until this moment that they realized Wu Shan's words were full of moral blackmail; she was such a hypocrite!
Little Ruanruan's pretty little eyebrows furrowed. She raised an eyebrow, thinking that as long as she had no morals, no one could morally blackmail her.
She blinked her pure and innocent eyes and said directly to Wu Shan without any politeness, "Yes, you're right. I look down on you because you're from the countryside, poor, and stupid."
Do you know what my brother Chen Jie gave me when he asked me to tutor him? He gave me a patent. That patent could be sold for at least several hundred million if sold casually.
If I invested myself, I might be able to earn back tens of billions.
"If I teach you, what will you give me in return? Moral blackmail?"
When Xiao Ruanruan said the first few sentences, Wu Shan's lips moved as if she wanted to refute, but when she heard the last sentence, she burst into tears and could only look at Gu Chen with pleading eyes, saying, "Mr. Gu, I didn't, I didn't mean it what Xiao Ruanruan said, I..."
Her appearance made Xiao Ruanruan even angrier. "You've offended me. Even if you want to explain, shouldn't you explain to me and apologize to me?"
Or is it that you don't really want to learn piano, and you don't really want to explain yourself, and you just want to get attention from Brother Gu Chen?
"I..." Wu Shan never expected Xiao Ruanruan to talk to her like that. She was speechless and couldn't say anything.
She was quite good-looking, and given her truly pitiful background, even though she hadn't had an easy life, as long as she looked pitiful and said a few words on the verge of tears, someone would always sympathize with her and help her.
But now...
She did nothing wrong, yet she was humiliated by a child like this. She even wanted to say that even though Xiao Ruanruan was born into a wealthy family, she had no manners at all.
But when she saw Gu Chen's cold, sword-like gaze, filled with disgust, she swallowed her words back.
Thinking of what Uncle Zhong and Qiu Shun had said about how much Gu Chen liked this little girl, she lowered her head and said to Xiao Ruanruan with utmost sincerity, "Xiao Ruanruan, I'm sorry, I just... I don't know what came over me just now, I just said those things nonsense."
I haven't been studying much these past two years because I've been taking care of my dad, so I tend to be blunt and not very tactful. Please don't be angry with me.
"That day, when I went to the piano store with Mr. Gu, I heard you playing the piano and thought it sounded so beautiful. I really wanted to learn from you..."
Wu Shan looked extremely aggrieved, which made her seem like a little softie with a fierce look, as if she was being unreasonable and had been bullied.
