Just as he reached the door, he stopped: "You won't stop me?"
Qin Zhao had already opened the book in front of him again and said calmly, "If you don't want to learn, what's the point of me keeping you here?"
Gu Heng frowned: "But my mother hired you to teach me."
"Indeed, and Madam has already promised that she wouldn't have kicked me out unless I volunteered to stop teaching." Qin Zhao glanced at him and said indifferently, "If you don't want to learn, then forget it. I'll be happy and comfortable getting paid for nothing."
"You don't look like a scholar at all!" Gu Heng's ears turned red with anger. He shouted, "I'm going to tell my mother right now!"
He stepped out of the room and stopped again.
Of course he could go to his mother and cry now. His mother has always doted on him the most. If he insisted on not wanting this gentleman, his mother would definitely not take this verbal promise seriously.
But that would be... too embarrassing.
As if she was afraid of him.
And if this person goes outside and says something, how will the Gu family save face?
Gu Heng turned his head and saw that man still sitting behind the desk, looking relaxed and comfortable.
If he hadn't actively refused to teach anymore, the Gu family wouldn't have driven him away. This agreement was clearly a provocation to him.
He was provoking Gu Heng and there was no way to force him away.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng suddenly laughed and returned to the house: "Don't blame me, sir. I was impulsive just now. I have figured it out now."
Qin Zhao didn't even raise his head: "Then open the book."
"No hurry." Gu Heng walked up to Qin Zhao, took the book from his hand, and said, "Before class starts, I want to go somewhere with the teacher."
Qin Zhao: "Where?"
Gu Heng said, "You'll know if you come with me."
"Why should I agree to you?"
"If you are willing to accompany me, I promise to behave myself for the rest of the time." Gu Heng said, "Although my mother promised not to drive you away, if I continue to oppose you, you will not have an easy time in the mansion."
Qin Zhao laughed: "You mean, as long as I accompany you, you will study hard."
"right."
Qin Zhao: "Lead the way."
.
The carriage stopped by the roadside. Qin Zhao lifted the curtain and looked out, frowning: "Gambling house?"
"That's right." Gu Heng was helped out of the carriage by the servant. He tilted his head to glance at him and said with a smile, "What are you still standing there for? Get out of the carriage and come in with me."
The gambling house that Gu Heng brought Qin Zhao to was the largest in Jiangling Prefecture. While other gambling houses would only be open during the night market, this one operated day and night.
Qin Zhao looked at Gu Heng's back, refused the servant's help, and got out of the car by himself.
The gambling house was filled with smoke and dimly lit.
The lobby was crowded with people, and several gambling tables were lined up in a row, with people gathered in front of each table.
Many people were smoking in the casino, and the air was filled with various unknown smells. Qin Zhao frowned and saw a waiter approaching him: "Hey, Master Gu, how come you have time to come here today?"
Gu Heng was also a little overwhelmed by the smell inside, and took out a banknote from his sleeve: "Bring friends to play, the old rules."
"Okay!" The clerk took the banknote and left happily.
Gu Heng turned back triumphantly, looking at Qin Zhao with an unfriendly expression, and asked, "What's the matter, sir? Are you scared?"
Qin Zhao: "You shouldn't come to this kind of place."
"Sure enough, that's what a nerd would say." Gu Heng said disdainfully, "Are you going to tell me next that playing with things and losing one's ambition is not the way of a gentleman?"
Qin Zhao shook his head: "This place is full of mixed people. You are young and shouldn't be hanging around in a place like this."
Gu Heng's expression changed.
He looked away: "What do you know? Rich people in the city all play like this. Oh, I almost forgot, you came from a poor and remote place, so of course you don't understand."
