Chapter 864: Burning to My Eyes
The last time she brought Tong Hua here, the fragrance was really strong. A few days ago when they were here, the fragrance became lighter. Today, it became even lighter. The reason for it was unknown too.
“This batch of water lilies gives off a much stronger fragrance at night, and the fragrance will become lighter during the day. Moreover, we have already gotten used to it and thus couldn’t really tell. If you’d like, I can teach you how to cultivate them. Rose Castle’s garden should be able to cultivate them too, just that you need to take great care of it,” Second Old Master Gu said.
“I’ll pass. I’m already so busy usually. I have to draw sketches, have to look at information, and still need to hold meetings or go for training. I don’t have the free time and patience like you, Dad,” Shen Qianshu said.
When they were still in the middle of their conversation, Gu Xie slowly made his way towards them.
“Second Brother...”
Gu Yuanli nodded gently. He sat down and seemed to look really troubled.
“Was Lil Sixth rude to you?” Fifth Brother asked.
“No.” Gu Yuanli shook his head.
Recently, he always looked like he had a lot on his mind.
Regarding Yang Po’s matter, Second Old Master Gu did not plan to let too many people know. Gu Yuanli had the same thoughts too. Both Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother did not know the reason behind it.
“Little Shu, were there any grudges between Yang Po and you?” Gu Yuanli asked.
“Yes,” Shen Qianshu said. “It’s really obvious!”
From the way she went against Yang Po, even idiots could tell that she and Yang Po had grudges with each other.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Qianshu did not plan to talk about Lin Xiaojuan and Yang Po’s matter. Mentioning the matter in front of her father and brothers would not be very good for Lin Xiaojuan. “There were some grudges between us a few years ago. I’m a petty person and will hold grudges. Furthermore, Jing Yun and I did not even go against each other.”
Gu Yuanli looked like he was about to say something, yet he could not bring himself to say it. Shen Qianshu could see the disapproval right through him.
“Why I can’t offend Yang Po? Is it because there is blackmail material of Ghost City in Yang Po’s hands?” Gu Xie asked.
“No.” Gu Yuanli laughed and said. “Offend him however you like. We will always be supporting you. I don’t think you will be able to do much to him and vice versa. Just shaming him will do.”
Being the Mayor this term was a confirmed matter for Yang Po, but the next term would not be that easy for him.
“Yang Po has a promising future. He already became City A’s Mayor in his early fifties, and with a few more years of experience, he will definitely be transferred to the Central. Now that such news had broken out, and it is furthermore pink news, the impact on his career will be really big. He will certainly have to stay low for a few years. Although this cannot change the ending, his journey to promotion will not be that smooth anymore,” Second Old Master Gu said.
“Then my aim would be achieved,” Shen Qianshu said. “I know I can’t do much to him, but I’m already happy being able to let him face some troubles.”
Fourth Brother laughed out loud. “Why do you not have such firmness when dealing with Ye Ling?”
“What do you mean? I’m very aggressive ok!” Shen Qianshu straightened her chest.
“Ha Ha!” Tong Hua laughed from not far away.
Everyone was speechless.
Shen Qianshu glared at Tong Hua. Little angel, can you not expose me.
“Ye Ling is really not a good partner,” Fourth Brother said, trying to persuade her to leave him. “Our Little Shu is beautiful like a flower, comes from a good family, and deserves to be with a better man.”
“If the man is not as handsome as my Daddy, don’t bother introducing,” Tong Hua said, running over to them and defending Ye Ling’s rights. His little face was bright red, and he clenched his fists and threatened. “You’re not allowed to find a stepdad for me...”
His manner like this was really too cute. Fourth Brother could not help but pinch his cheeks. “I see that you’re always dissing him. Why do you like him so much?”
“Who says I like him!” Tong Hua’s actions did not match his words. “It’s because he looks pleasing to the eyes. If he looks like Mommy’s ex-boyfriends, that would be torture to my eyes!”
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
