Chapter 131 Compensation
"Drinking tea late at night isn’t good, it can make it hard to sleep."Despite saying so, Xia Yinian still made a pot of simple tea for Gu Lingqian and poured him a cup.
She also poured one for herself and started gulping it down.
After running all the way back just now, running for so long and breaking into a sweat, she was dying of thirst.
Gu Lingqian was the one who actively asked for tea, but he only pinched the cup and didn’t drink.
But looking at the girl whose face and forehead were still sweating, he suddenly said indifferently, "Grandma asked us when we are getting married, she wants grandchildren."
With a ’puh’ sound, Xia Yinian sprayed the tea she had just swallowed mercilessly onto Gu Lingqian across from her.
Although Gu Lingqian reacted quite quickly and moved back swiftly, since he was sitting on a sofa, there was limited space to retreat.
In the end, in the end, except for his face which was spared, his shirt and pants were all drenched with tea.
He frowned, a bit unsure of what reaction to make.
"I-I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!"
Xia Yinian hurriedly put her cup down, pulled a few tissues, and immediately began wiping the tea stains on his shirt.
It’s over. The shirt was obviously expensive at first sight. They say that these rich people, if their luxury goods get dirty, they just throw them away.
Is she, in this way, personally ruining Young Master Ling’s shirt?
It must be very expensive, what if he asks for compensation? And his trousers too, they’re all wet with tea.
Xia Yinian threw away the dirty tissues and pulled another one, trying to wipe it down as fast as possible, hoping it could still be salvaged.
The tea stains on his chest, and on his abdomen, and then further down...
Suddenly, Gu Lingqian grabbed her wrist with a somewhat ragged breath, "It’s already dirty, wiping it more won’t help."
Xia Yinian then realized, going further down, the spot was a little sensitive.
But... looking up at him, she had a pitiful expression, "I really didn’t do it on purpose, it’s... your words were just too... explosive."
"Don’t ask me for compensation, I don’t have money, I can’t afford it."
"Who’s asking you for compensation?" Gu Lingqian was somewhat irked, had he said anything since he got sprayed with tea?
Oh, it was just now that sentence, it’s irreparable now.
"Really, I don’t have to compensate?" Xia Yinian sneakily gave him a sidelong glance.
As long as she didn’t have to compensate, everything was negotiable; what she lacked the most right now was money.
Gu Lingqian rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling very weak, "Just a few hundred thousand, you care so much, aren’t you the Xia Family’s Lady?"
Although the Xia Family was far less wealthy and influential than the Gu Family, it was still a prominent family.
A lady from a prominent family, caring so much about a few hundred thousand?
But he quickly remembered, this girl was so busy for Xiao Lian’s surgery fund.
She really seemed to be short on money. Her father doesn’t give her an allowance?
Xia Yinian read the confusion in his eyes, pouted slightly, and complained, "When you visited my house, didn’t you see my status at home?"
Didn’t he see that the entire family was targeting and bullying her?
"That incident that night?" Gu Lingqian smiled faintly, not taking it to heart, "You returned home dressed like that, should the family give you a good face?"
"I was framed!" It was clearly Xia Chuxue’s trick!
But Gu Lingqian shook his head, "Whether it was a frame or not, going out dressed like that, especially in front of honored guests, inevitably brings shame."
