She immediately understood why Li Rong had come, and she waved her hand, saying to Li Rong, "No need, I've already made up my mind about this."
“Grandmother, you can’t refuse your grandson this time. I’m determined to keep Gu Sang here,” Li Rong said to the old lady in a firm tone.
"Li Rong, what do you mean by this! I've already agreed to Gu Sang's request. Do you intend to disobey my orders?" Old Madam Gu looked at Li Rong with an stern expression and said coldly.
Looking at Old Madam Gu's cold expression, Li Rong knew very well that if he continued to insist on Gu Sang staying in the Gu family, he would probably never be able to get Gu Sang to leave the Gu family in his lifetime, and he could forget about taking over the Gu family's assets from Gu Yunfei. Thinking of this, Li Rong immediately bowed to Old Madam Gu and apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandmother, I lost my composure. I know I was wrong, and I will leave now."
Hearing Li Rong's words, Madam Gu was very satisfied. Since Li Rong was sensible enough to leave, their deal was considered successfully completed. Madam Gu waved to Li Rong, indicating that she could leave.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Li Rong immediately got up and left.
Seeing this, Gu Sang immediately chased after Li Rong in the direction he had left. Li Rong walked ahead and ignored Gu Sang, but Gu Sang followed closely behind. When Li Rong stopped, Gu Sang also stopped and smiled at him.
Li Rong turned her head to look at Gu Sang, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and said coldly, "Gu Sang, what do you mean by this?"
“Li Rong, I think you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just that since you’ve said that, then our deal is successful.” Gu Sang smiled slightly, looking relaxed and natural.
Seeing Gu Sang's confident demeanor, Li Rong wondered if Gu Sang was deliberately playing a trick on him. However, upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like it. If it were, he wouldn't have waited here for so long.
After pondering for a moment, Li Rong said, "In that case, you will stay by my side from now on and serve me well!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang was quite surprised. She never expected Li Rong to make such a request. Not only did he not refuse, but he also agreed very readily, which was something Gu Sang never expected. She guessed that Li Rong might want to use her to deal with the Gu family's power. However, Gu Sang still felt a little strange, but she didn't want to delve too deeply into it. After all, the person she wanted to use was Li Rong, not Gu Yunfei.
“Okay!” Gu Sang smiled at Li Rong, nodded, and said, “In that case, I’ll thank you in advance.”
Seeing that Gu Sang had agreed, Li Rong smiled at her and said, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
"Then I'll take my leave now. Please enjoy your tea!" Gu Sang said to Li Rong, then turned and walked towards the door.
As soon as Gu Sang left the gate of the Gu residence, she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. It seemed that her adoptive father wasn't so smart after all! He had been so easily fooled by her.
After watching Gu Sang's figure disappear into the hall, Li Rong's face revealed a sinister expression. Gu Sang was simply a menace. Once she got access to the core secrets of the Gu family, they could forget about having a foothold in the Gu family. Therefore, they had to get rid of her no matter what. They had to get rid of this thorn in their side. Otherwise, their plan would never be able to be implemented.
After staying in the hall for a while, Li Rong left and went back to her room.
As Li Rong left the Gu residence, Gu Sang returned to her own courtyard. As soon as she entered the gate, she saw Xiao Mei standing anxiously outside, seemingly waiting for her.
Upon seeing Gu Sang return, Xiao Mei immediately walked over to her. Looking at Gu Sang, she asked with concern, "Miss, you're back."
Gu Sang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you're back. What's up, Xiaomei? What are you doing here?"
"Miss, I heard from the second young master that the master has agreed to let you stay at the Gu residence for a few days. This makes me very worried. I don't know what the master is up to. Miss, you must be careful!" Xiaomei said with great concern.
"Don't worry, I know. Just relax. I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen." Gu Sang looked at Xiao Mei and said seriously, then looked at Xiao Mei again and said, "I'm hungry. Can you prepare some food for me? I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes first."
"Yes, Miss, I'll prepare food for you right away." Xiao Mei nodded quickly upon hearing Gu Sang's words and ran towards the kitchen.
After watching Xiaomei leave, Gu Sang smiled triumphantly. After returning to her room, she changed her clothes and did her hair and makeup before going out to the kitchen.
Xiao Mei was preparing food for Gu Sang. When she saw Gu Sang arrive, she quickly went to Gu Sang's side and respectfully asked, "Miss, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Anything is fine, I just hope I don't trouble you too much." Gu Sang looked at Xiao Mei and said calmly, then sat down on the stool next to her, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating. While eating, she observed Xiao Mei's expression. Seeing that Xiao Mei's brows were always furrowed, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. She said to Xiao Mei, "Xiao Mei, what's wrong? Why do you look so distressed?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaomei sighed, looked up at Gu Sang, and said, "Miss, did you and the young master have a very unpleasant conversation just now?"
Gu Sang nodded and said, "That's right, the talk wasn't very pleasant. Moreover, Li Rong actually wanted me to stay in the Gu residence as her personal maid, and even his personal servant. That's completely unfair! Why should I? I am the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister, and Li Rong dares to make me his personal servant, and he won't even let me go back. It's infuriating!"
Gu Sang grew angrier as she spoke, and finally she simply threw the grape in her hand into her mouth, chewed it up, then took another grape and threw it into her mouth again, continuing to chew.
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Xiao Mei quickly reached out to stop Gu Sang and looked into Gu Sang's eyes earnestly as she spoke.
