"Well, Miss Gu Sang, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. Is that alright?" Madam Li asked Gu Sang with a smile. Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Gu Sang's eyes, but she smiled and agreed, "Alright then, I'll be there on time tonight."
“Okay.” Madam Li nodded, smiled at Gu Sang, and said, “Miss Gu Sang, let’s go.”
"Hmm." Gu Sang nodded indifferently, then turned and walked outside.
The two walked out of the courtyard and came to the carriage. Madam Li sat inside the carriage, while Gu Sang stood beside it.
Seeing this, Madam Li revealed a smug smile, then lifted the curtain and said to the servants outside, "Let's go back."
Looking at Madam Li's expression, Gu Sang's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Inwardly, she cursed, "Madam Li, what a fool! Does she think I'll go back with her like this? What an idiot! I, Gu Sang, am not stupid. I won't fall for such a foolish trick!"
Sure enough, just a few seconds after Madam Li finished speaking, the coachman stopped the sound of hooves. Gu Sang knew that Madam Li's wishful thinking had backfired. This carriage belonged to the Li family and was not an ordinary carriage at all. Moreover, there were guards inside the carriage, so Gu Sang had no way to leave the Li family.
The Li family will definitely be angry now. They will definitely send people to monitor her and watch her every move. At that time, her whereabouts will be under their control, and she will have no way to escape.
Hmph, foolish!
Seeing this, Madam Li's face turned somewhat unpleasant. This damned woman dared to refuse her! Humph! Who did she think she was? She was a first-rank lady, and her orders were completely ignored by this woman. This made Madam Li extremely angry, her face turned ashen, and her eyes were filled with rage.
“Miss Gu Sang, since you have rejected my suggestion, I will not force you. I only hope that in the future, Miss Gu Sang will not reject my kindness again. I did not mean to.” Madam Li suppressed her anger and looked at Gu Sang.
At this moment, Madam Li wished she could drag Gu Sang out and slap her a few times to vent her anger, but she knew she couldn't do such a thing, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. This Gu Sang was really too hateful, she was even unwilling to do this, she deserved to die!
"Madam Li, you're too kind. You are a first-rank lady, how could I possibly refuse your invitation? You're right, aren't you? It's just that I've been quite busy lately. Once I'm done with this, I will definitely pay you a visit in person. Please rest assured, Madam." Gu Sang said with a faint smile to Madam Li.
"Hehe, I believe in your integrity, Miss Gu Sang, but I wonder how busy you are with your work?" Madam Li said to Gu Sang with a forced smile, though she was furious inside.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang looked at Madam Li and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just helping a businessman represent an industry." Gu Sang said calmly.
"Oh, an agent? Which business does Miss Gu Sang belong to?" Madam Li asked, looking at Gu Sang with great surprise. It was quite unusual for Gu Sang to be an agent for someone else's business.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang looked at Madam Li and said, "This is a secret for now."
"Hehe, it's alright. No matter which business you are, as long as Miss Gu Sang is willing to cooperate with me, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with you," Madam Li said with a smile.
"Hmm." Gu Sang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but did not say anything.
Afterwards, Madam Li and Gu Sang entered the carriage together. After Gu Sang got in, Madam Li immediately told the driver to drive.
Madam Li and Gu Sang did not speak to each other on the way. Although Gu Sang was very angry, she did not say anything and instead closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Madam Li sat to the side, watching the ever-changing scenery outside the window, lost in thought. Her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked extremely displeased. Gu Sang noticed this and sneered inwardly. She wanted to see how long Madam Li could hold out.
Half an incense stick later, the carriage suddenly stopped. At this moment, Madam Li opened her eyes and looked outside. She saw that Gu Sang was resting with her eyes closed, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
Madam Li glanced at Gu Sang, then said to the coachman, "Hurry up and get out of the carriage. Go to the teahouse ahead and buy a pot of tea."
"Yes, madam," the coachman replied.
Madam Li alighted from the carriage, and Gu Sang followed suit. As they stood on the street, the surrounding crowd cast envious and jealous glances. Madam Li was the most beautiful woman in the entire Li family. The Li family was wealthy and powerful, and Madam Li, being exceptionally beautiful and a first-rank lady, naturally attracted the attention of many men. With her wealth and influence, the Li family naturally sought out young, beautiful, and rich young ladies. Over the years, the Li family had recruited many beautiful young women, including some quite young. Madam Li's arrival this time was undoubtedly for the Li family's wealth.
However, now this Madam Li is openly pursuing Gu Sang in public. This is truly shameless! Madam Li is really shameless!
However, everyone knew that the Li family was very powerful. Although they dared not offend the Li family, they also dared not say that Madam Li was shameless.
Before long, a pot of steaming hot tea was served. Madam Li took a sip of tea and then said to Gu Sang, "Miss Gu Sang, please have some."
"Thank you, Madam Li," Gu Sang said calmly upon hearing this. Then, Gu Sang picked up her teacup and began to slowly sip her tea. Gu Sang was not a tea enthusiast, so she didn't feel anything special while drinking it.
Seeing this, Madam Li sneered inwardly.
"Hehe, I like women with your personality, Miss Gu Sang, so unpretentious." After finishing her tea, Madam Li smiled at Gu Sang, but inwardly she sneered. This woman actually refused her invitation and claimed to be acting as someone else's agent. How utterly despicable!
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang smiled slightly but said nothing, lowering her eyelids in a humble manner.
At this moment, a woman's voice rang out from inside the carriage: "Gu Sang, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long. Come and sit here."
Gu Sang looked up and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old wearing a pink dress standing on the other side of the carriage, smiling at Gu Sang.
The woman was very pretty and delicate, with a hint of heroism in her brows. Her bright eyes were full of spirit, and her gaze towards Gu Sang was sharp and piercing.
