Chapter 482: Miss Gu Is Not That Kind of Person
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No matter how Mu Chengyao looked at Gu Lingyue, she did not have the charm she had before. Mu Chengyao’s eyes were very cold as he nodded nonchalantly in acknowledgment. “Hello, Miss Yue. Miss Yue, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll go in first.”
Gu Lingyue was a little surprised by Mu Chengyao’s indifference and quickly stopped him. “Young Master Mu, I’m also here to look for my mother. Why don’t we go in together?”
Gu Lingyue did not know what was wrong with her. Ever since she had interacted with Mu Chengyao, she always felt that Mu Chengyao was different from other men. He was far from being as vulgar as other men and was very considerate.
She did not need to put on any pretense in front of him. The man’s caring attitude made her want to rely on him.
However, she could also vaguely feel that Mu Chengyao’s attitude toward her had become much colder these days.
If it was in the past, Mu Chengyao would definitely feel smug and happy that Gu Lingyue had fallen for his trick and become his plaything.
At this moment, as he looked at Gu Lingyue, all he could think of was Gu Qingxue’s beautiful figure. He really could not bring himself to be interested in her.
“Miss Yue, please do as you please.” Mu Chengyao was too lazy to respond. He got off the carriage and strode into the Renyao Hall.
In the back hall of Renyao Hall, Madam Kou sat in the main seat, holding the account book in her hand, but she could not read a single line of words.
Her heart was only filled with thoughts about Gu Qingxue. She wanted to think of all ways and means to snatch all of Gu Qingxue’s silver.
However, Gu Qingxue was no longer the pitiful little girl who could be bullied by anyone. She was now a third-grade female doctor personally appointed by the emperor. If she used the wrong method, she might implicate the Gu family.
Just as Madam Kou was in a terrible fix, she heard Gu Lingyue’s sweet voice from outside the door.
“Young Master Mu, don’t walk so fast. I’m barely able to keep up with you.” Gu Lingyue chuckled as she spoke, her tone full of coquetry.
Madam Kou’s emotions changed rapidly as she watched Gu Lingyue follow behind Mu Chengyao and walk in quickly.
It was only after Gu Lingyue entered the room that she realized Madam Kou was there as well. The expression on her face turned into one of fear at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. “Mother…”
Madam Kou did not say a word, but the sharp gaze hidden in her eyes seemed to be able to see through Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue shrunk her neck in fear as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Mu Chengyao took a step forward and cupped his hands toward Madam Kou.
“It seems that auntie’s health has improved. I would like to congratulate auntie.
Madam Kou smiled. “Young Master Mu, you’ve come at the right time. I just wanted to ask you how you’re getting along with Xue’er.”
Mu Chengyao said with some difficulty, “I do like Eldest Miss Gu very much, but she has never given me an accurate reply.”
“Gu Qingxue has always been proud and arrogant, and she likes men to pursue her. If Young Master Mu wants to get Gu Qingxue’s love, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy,” Gu Lingyue said sourly.
Mu Chengyao looked at Gu Lingyue with dissatisfaction. “Second Miss, you must be joking. Eldest Miss Gu is not that kind of person.”
Madam Kou narrowed her eyes. After giving Gu Lingyue a warning look, she chuckled and said to Mu Chengyao, “Young Master Mu is right. In fact, Xue’er also has feelings for you. She just came over and tell me that she wanted to find an opportunity to spend time alone with Young Master Mu. She asked me to help her make an appointment with Young Master Mu at noon tomorrow on the third floor of the Renyao Hall..”
