Chapter 162: Who Doesn’t Know Favoritism
"Why is your attitude so poor? They are just asking you to go back and rest, it’s a good thing."As they stepped out of the dark room, Xia Yinian couldn’t help but murmur and complain a bit.
Servants are people too, why always show them a cold face?
They work to earn their salary, it’s not like they are not working!
Gu Lingqian remained silent, his expression still not quite right, harboring some concerns about his actions tonight.
He didn’t know why, when he looked at her, his thoughts became somewhat uncontrollable, even unconsciously wanting to get closer to her.
He had never experienced such a feeling before. This feeling was not good at all, as if he could be controlled by some impulse at any moment.
He didn’t like the feeling of losing control; he was always a rational person.
"Go back and rest early, tomorrow there might be a tough fight," he said as they entered the main hall of the manor.
With that said, he walked upstairs, leaving Xia Yinian behind alone.
Xia Yinian really didn’t understand this guy. He was fine back in the black room, and she had no idea what changed all of a sudden, making him impatient with her.
What did she do wrong? Could it be that he was upset because she got him involved in squatting in the black room?
But it was his own initiative, what does it have to do with her?
Tomorrow there will be a tough fight...
Xia Yinian yawned and went upstairs too.
...
The next day, indeed, early in the morning, Xia Yinian was "asked" by the servants to come downstairs.
They set off for the Horse Training Ground.
Early in the morning, there were only about a dozen servants at the Horse Training Ground.
However, the main person in charge today was clearly the man from yesterday who hadn’t said a word, Gu Beicheng.
"Let’s discuss what happened yesterday," Gu Beicheng said faintly, standing in front of three girls.
Old Master Gu’s face immediately darkened with displeasure, "Seventh, the matter is already over, why bring it up again?"
Was calling him early in the morning just to overturn the case for Xia Yinian?
He had heard that last night Gu Beicheng privately interrogated Xia Yinian and later allowed Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian to return to their rooms to rest.
This matter, he could turn a blind eye, not wanting to confront his son too much.
But now, trying to overturn a settled case, wasn’t that too disrespectful to him?
"Dad, you just oversee the proceedings today," Gu Beicheng glanced at him indifferently, his gaze then swept to the side where the servants were: "Prepare a chair for Old Master."
"Yes, Seventh Young Master." In fact, the chair was already prepared, and it was brought over in just a few seconds.
"Old Master, please sit down and have a cup of tea." The servant had even prepared the tea, clearly coming well-prepared.
Helpless, Old Master Gu could only sit down first, have a cup of tea, and see what the young man would do next.
Gu Ziqi felt a bit panicked, were they leaning towards Xia Yinian?
Previously, in the front yard of the Gu Family, she had bullied her because of Xia Yinian.
Now, did they want to bully her again?
"I made it very clear yesterday, I was just pointing out that the girl was being lazy, I scolded her a bit, but who knew Xia Yinian not only insulted me but also attacked."
Gu Ziqi pointed at Taotao, "This girl, just takes the Gu Family’s money without working!"
"I didn’t, I..."
"Nian Nian, you speak." Taotao’s weak voice was abruptly interrupted by Gu Beicheng.
Xia Yinian met his gaze, neither humble nor arrogant, without a hint of guilt.
"Taotao was not being lazy, it was Gu Ziqi who was deliberately picking on her, intentionally making things difficult."
