Chapter 160: Mr. Chi Really Is Wonderful

Seeing Uncle Xiang come back again, Gu Yuan asked, "What’s wrong?"Uncle Xiang contemplated and said, "Last year and the year before, Miss Gu had Mr. Chi by her side, but this year there’s no Mr. Chi. If Madam asks about it, what should I say?"

Uncle Xiang asked on purpose, wanting to gauge Gu Yuan’s thoughts, to see if there was really no turning back for the two of them.

It was rare for Uncle Xiang to mention Chi Yu’s name in front of her, which surprised Gu Yuan a little. "It’s nothing big. If she really asks, just say we broke up. There’s nothing to hide about it."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiang paused and said, "Miss Gu, you and Mr. Chi..."

He stopped mid-sentence and looked at Gu Yuan, thinking of something to say, and then advised earnestly, "Miss Gu, you may not like to hear this, but I still want to say, Mr. Chi is worth it, at least for you he is. He’s a good man."

That phrase, ’he’s a good man,’ made Gu Yuan laugh.

It wasn’t mockery; it lightened her entire mood.

Gu Yuan smiled, "Uncle Xiang, there are plenty of good people in this world, and I’ve never said Chi Yu was a bad person either."

Uncle Xiang chuckled, "Look at me, saying such things. The older I get, the more muddled my words become."

This kind of atmosphere was indeed rare.

Gu Yuan brought up, "Uncle Xiang, that night when Chi Yu came to the Gu Mansion, you went out to see him, didn’t you?"

Uncle Xiang had never mentioned it before. The next morning, when Madam asked why so many cookies were missing, wondering if some servant had stolen them, the servants were too scared to say anything.

Uncle Xiang walked in and saw the scene, and explained, "I packed a bag and gave it to Mr. Chi last night. Don’t mention it in front of Miss Gu, as she won’t be happy."

Madam cursed in her broken Chinese, "You know Miss Gu won’t be happy yet you still gave them. But since you said it’s for Mr. Chi, I’ll help keep your secret because Mr. Chi is a good person."

The two conspired and really didn’t mention it in front of Gu Yuan.

Little did they know, Gu Yuan had already overheard their conversation.

When Gu Yuan asked now, Uncle Xiang was stunned, thinking that Madam’s mouth couldn’t keep secrets.

Just as he was angrily thinking this, he heard Gu Yuan say, "I accidentally overheard it. That day when you and Madam were talking about keeping it secret, I was at the staircase."

Uncle Xiang: "..."

"Miss Gu, that night I did give Mr. Chi a bag of cookies. Earlier when I said Mr. Chi is a good man, I really meant it as a compliment. Mr. Chi is truly good, and also pitiful..."

Uncle Xiang sighed as he spoke.

Gu Yuan laughed and asked, "He’s rich and famous, a big celebrity. What’s so pitiful about that?"

"Acting can be pitiful, working so hard." Uncle Xiang carefully recounted the sights from that night to Gu Yuan, "I handed the cookies to Chi Yu and saw his hands were covered with bruises. He said the injuries were from filming. I wondered what kind of filming would lead to such injuries. He probably didn’t tell me the truth, don’t know if there were more injuries on his body, I even..."

Gu Yuan felt her ears ringing for a few seconds; as for the later parts Uncle Xiang talked about, she couldn’t hear them.

As she watched Uncle Xiang’s busy departing figure, Gu Yuan remained silent.

Chi Yu’s injuries on his hands, perhaps... no perhaps about it; his hand injuries were not from filming.

They were from fighting with Wen Bo in the police station.
