Chapter 35: Too Dishonest
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mrs. Qin found this scene unbelievable and even cried out involuntarily, “Butler Gu, did you give it to the wrong person? My Jiatong, she...”
It was just that others had asked them to support her, but the Gu family did not use them, even if it was a butler.
Therefore, before she could finish speaking, Butler Gu shot her a glance. “Mrs. Qin, do you think that I’m too old to be a butler of the Gu family?”
“No, no, I didn’t mean that. I, I just...”
Mrs. Qin was not stupid enough to admit Butler Gu’s words. She stuttered and wanted to say something to explain.
Beside her, Mr. Qin had already forced a smile to take over the topic. “Butler Gu, it’s not serious. Please don’t mind what the woman says. It’s just that my daughter doesn’t seem to have any contact with Old Master Gu. I don’t know where Old Master Gu’s favor came from. Could I trouble you to come personally?” After a pause, he smiled again. “She’s just a child. Please give her a call and let her know. I should have asked her to personally greet Old Master Gu...”
“Our Old Master is not free at the moment. When he is free, he will definitely come and see Miss Qin personally.”
Before Butler Gu came, he had naturally investigated the situation of the Qin family thoroughly.
In fact, there was no need to investigate. Shanghai was not big, and there were only a few people who came and went in this circle.
If any family made any noise, it would be the Qin family on the outside!
Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Qin family had been excluded from the Qin family for many years. It was not a secret that the youngest daughter of the Qin family was favored.
Previously, when Old Master Gu repeatedly urged him to come over personally and deliver the gift to Qin Yiyi, Butler Gu was still a little unconcerned.
Could it be that no matter how much the parents did not value their daughter, they would still snatch the birthday gift for their child?
Moreover, the Qin family was not short of money.
Who knew that upon seeing this scene,?Butler Gu felt that it was fortunate that he had personally made this trip!
“How can this be? When Old Master is free, please give him a call. I will let this girl go over to accompany Old Master to talk.”
Mr. Qin’s face was full of smiles. Even when facing the butler of the Gu family, he still accompanied him carefully.
Qin Yiyi felt that it was extremely boring to watch.
She raised her eyebrows and pushed back the thing in front of her.
“No pain, no gain. I won’t accept this thing. Please take it back, butler.”
She knew what Old Master Gu meant. If one were to say how much the Old Master was grateful to her, it would definitely not be anything like that. At most, he would be grateful for the few words that she said to Gu Yulin that night. Secondly, it was because of this that he had specially asked the butler to support her and bring a gift to her. Just look at how Butler Gu stood there for a while. She had instantly become the focal point of the entire banquet!
Qin Jiatong’s face had already turned black not far away.
Hmm, looking at it, it felt pretty good.
Qin Yiyi’s eyes narrowed slightly and her gaze fell on Butler Gu. “I’ll have to trouble Butler Gu to make a trip. I’ll personally greet Old Master Gu when I have the chance later.”
Butler Gu’s heart moved slightly when he heard this.
‘Have the chance’ was a good phrase to use.
The girl in front of him was dressed in casual clothes. She stood there quietly. Her eyes and brows were slightly restrained, and she had a demeanor that was different from everyone else.
He secretly sighed in his heart. What a pity, if they nurtured her well, she would probably be a good seedling.
He then looked at the other young lady of the Qin family who was not far away. She had an angry expression on her face. Although she was forcing herself to smile, her entire body was brimming with hatred.
Butler Gu shook his head inwardly. He really did not know what kind of taste the Qin family’s parents had!
However, this was a matter of another family, and it had nothing to do with him.
Butler Gu’s thoughts changed, but his solemn and somewhat rigid face did not reveal the slightest bit of it. His expression was indifferent and respectful, and it absolutely had a trace of the reserved and proud attitude of a hundred-year-old aristocratic family. “This is a gift from our Master, so there is no reason to send it back. Now that it belongs to Miss Qin. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away.”
After a pause, he nodded slightly. “Happy Birthday, Miss Qin. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”
Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and said, “Take care.”
A gift given in front of so many people by such a family would indeed not be taken back.
Otherwise, they would lose face.
She smiled in her heart and stood up. “I’ll send you off.”
“Yes, yes. Help me send Butler Gu off.”
Mr. Qin felt the surprised, envious, and somewhat curious gazes from the people around him. He was so happy that he straightened his back a little!
Look, this was his daughter.
She was actually valued by the Old Master of the Gu family, which was a famous family!
With just this one appearance, he could imagine that the Qin family’s business would be much better in the future!
Mr. Qin looked at Butler Gu’s attentive face.
“Take care.”
Butler Gu nodded his head in a distant manner. Just as he was about to leave, a few people walked in from behind him. When they saw Butler Gu, they stopped politely,
“Butler Gu, you’re here too...”
“Why are you guys here? What’s the matter?”
Butler Gu thought that they were here to look for him.
Who knew that the young man opposite him would smile and sweep his gaze across the people around him?
Qin Jiatong’s face turned slightly red when she felt the gaze from the other side. This young man was really good-looking!
His brows and eyes were as handsome as the clear wind and bright moon. He looked extremely clean and charming from afar!
It was like a piece of beautiful jade!
Feeling the other party’s gaze on her, Qin Jiatong subconsciously straightened her body.
She even puffed out her chest.
At this moment, the other party suddenly opened his mouth. “May I ask who is Miss Qin?”
“I am. Sir, you are?”
“You are Miss Qin?”
The other party raised his eyebrows, his gaze sizing up Qin Jiatong a few times before nodding his head with a grunt.
“Alright, then it’s for you. The two of you, bring Second Young Master’s gift to Miss Qin.”
Gift, yet another gift!
With a wave of the young man’s hand, a group of people came in one after another with a few boxes in their hands.
They bowed and said, “Miss Qin, this is a small gift from our Second Young Master. We wish you a Happy Birthday. Our Second Young Master has said that he will come over to thank you personally when he recovers. It’s just a small gift, it’s not a token of respect!”
Qin Jiatong was still in a daze when someone called out softly. “Oh my god, it’s a limited-edition bag from top-tier luxury goods...”
“And a gown. Is that a pair of shoes?”
Feeling the discussion among the crowd, Qin Jiatong’s self-esteem, which had just been hit by Butler Gu, instantly exploded.
She smiled sweetly. “Thank you for your blessings, Sir and Second Young Master. I just don’t know how to address you, Sir. Why don’t you stay and have a drink?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Hello, Sir. I’m Jiatong’s father. May I know how to address you? And who is this Second Young Master?”
Mr. Qin felt that his face today was really glowing!
Who among these people didn’t envy him?
He had raised two good daughters!
The other party looked at Mr. Qin and smiled. “Our Master is the Second Young Master of the Gu family. He could not come over now, so he specially asked someone to send these things over to thank Miss Qin for saving his life.”
Although he didn’t think that Qin Jiatong was worth putting in any effort… When he came, Second Young Master Gu had made it clear that she was his savior, so he couldn’t afford to have an opinion about it. Now that the things had been delivered, the young man nodded indifferently and was prepared to leave.
Qin Jiatong’s heart jumped, but in the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She bit her lips lightly and spoke up rather embarrassedly, “I was just passing by. I really don’t deserve Second Young Master to think about it like this. I wonder how Second Young Master Gu is doing recently?”
Second Young Master Gu!
The crowd was instantly in an uproar, but there were also people who became even more curious.
The old man sent gifts to the Eldest Young Miss, while the Young Master sent gifts to the Second Young Miss. Why did it look like Old Master and Young Master fighting in a ring?
But no matter what, the Qin family would probably be extraordinary in the future.
The crowd couldn’t help but feel that they had more or less increased the weight of the Qin family in their hearts.
The people of the Gu family soon left.
Mr. Qin wanted to ask Qin Jiatong how she met the Second Young Master of the Gu family.
However, he was circled by a group of people to talk in the blink of an eye, so he suppressed this thought and saved it for later.
Qin Jiatong’s face was full of smiles, and her footsteps were so light as though she was about to fly up.
The Second Young Master of the Gu family. So many gifts were all hers alone!
She had specially looked at them just now. She had only heard of a few limited-edition versions, but now, she had a few of them.
As she was thinking, a black figure came pressing down in front of her.
She looked up and saw that it was the young man from earlier. However, unlike the last time, his good-looking eyes were filled with displeasure this time. “Second Young Miss Qin, why did you pretend to be Second Young Master Gu’s savior?”
“Ah, no, I...”
Without waiting for her to explain, the young man walked in front of Qin Yiyi and continued, “Miss Qin, I’m very sorry. It was my mistake just now. I’ve already called someone to take all these gifts back and destroy them. Second Young Master has prepared a new batch for you. He’s on his way here now...”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Jiatong, who was completely frozen, from the corner of his eyes. Qin Jiatong’s face was livid.
“Second Young Miss Qin, you’re too dishonest.”
She watched as the few of them took away the gifts.
The people around her couldn’t help but cast strange looks at her.
Qin Jiatong couldn’t hold it in any longer. She covered her face with her hands and ran out crying.
“Qin Yiyi, just you wait. If anything happens to Jiatong, I won’t forgive you!”
Mrs. Qin hurriedly threw down these words and ran out to chase after her.
Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and finished a piece of dessert with an innocent look on her face.
This had nothing to do with her!
