Gu Qingdai cursed, for example, the original owner once gave you a piece of prairie. Is it considered a surprise?
Not only did you go to Wushan with your housekeeper Huo Jie, but you also went to Wushan with your rival Song Yueting.
It seems there are others, but they just haven’t appeared yet...
Thinking of this, Gu Qingdai felt that Lian Beichuan was quite pitiful for the first time.
But that was the evil done by the original owner and had nothing to do with her!
Lian Beichuan and Gu Qingdai danced several songs in succession. He plausibly said that he would never give Song Yueting a chance, but in fact he was rejecting the women who took the initiative to invite him to dance.
After Gu Qingdai calmed down, she realized that something was wrong. She, a teahouse shopkeeper, interacted so closely with Lian Beichuan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce. How many people present would be thinking about it?
Not only are there going to be misunderstandings among the women who admire Lian Beichuan, but also those businessmen who are closely related to the Lian family, will they take care of the Lion Teahouse for the sake of Lian Beichuan's face?
Gu Qingdai felt more and more that she shouldn't come tonight.
She just wants to rely on herself, and she has been working hard for this.
She really didn't want to do so much, and in the end she only got one sentence from others: Gu Qingdai~ You can't rely on so-and-so.
Song Yueting left the Daluan Ballroom early with excuses, and the association also entered the stage of auctioning celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
Gu Qingdai finally found Lu Minglan, but she was angry as expected.
Gu Qingdai knew that no matter how hard she tried to explain, it would be useless. The protagonist tonight should be Lu Minglan.
And those encouragements and motivations I had given just now, how ironic do they seem at this moment?
How could a proud girl of fifteen or sixteen years be dissatisfied?
Whether she admits it or not, it was Gu Qingdai who stole her limelight.
Gu Qingdai and Lu Minglan said goodbye politely, guessing that her career as an escort should be over.
This time, she successfully walked out of Daluan Dance Hall.
The night was getting dark and the lanterns were starting to turn on. She was walking alone on her way back to the teahouse.
"Miss Gu, are you just leaving without saying goodbye?" Lu Mingze caught up with him panting.
Gu Qingdai's heart stopped, "The sorority party is over? Master Lu, aren't you waiting for Lan Lan?"
Lu Mingze took off his dress shirt and held it in his hand, "I asked the driver to take her home."
"Master Lu, what do you want from me?"
"If you have nothing to do, why can't you go to Miss Gu?"
Gu Qingdai laughed and denied, "I didn't think Mr. Lu had serious business to discuss."
Lu Mingze glanced at the high heels she was wearing with the back of his eyes, "The conversation should have been finished long ago. Can Miss Gu still walk? Are you tired?"
He looked around again and whispered to Gu Qingdai: "The south of the city is considered a new area and has not been developed much. The population is slightly sparse, and I didn't even see a rickshaw for a long time."
"I'm not tired. I'm so squeamish and solid. Mr. Lu, please don't let me go. You should go back to find Lan Lan."
"Today, first I didn't pick up Miss Gu at the teahouse, and then I didn't get the chance to dance with Miss Gu at the sorority party. Now it's a good thing. I wanted to send Miss Gu home but I was rejected."
"Look, it's quite bright on this road. The further you go, the more people you walk on. It won't be a problem for me to go back by myself." Gu Qingdai felt that Lu Mingze was acting strange tonight.
Furthermore, if Lu Minglan knew that her eldest brother was "abducted" by Gu Qingdai, wouldn't she become even more prejudiced against Gu Qingdai?
But Lu Mingze had no intention of going back, and just kept walking with Gu Qingdai in the direction of the Lion Wake Tea House.
Gu Qingdai was even more determined that she could not return to the Lu family to continue studying with her.
After a long time, they finally returned to the Lion Tea House.
Gu Qingdai could see that Lu Mingze wanted to go in with her, so logically speaking, she should let him come in to have a cup of tea and rest before leaving.
But Gu Qingdai felt it was inappropriate, so she just said thank you and ran back to the teahouse, leaving Lu Mingze standing there unwillingly.
The next day, Gu Qingdai did not rush to Lu's house according to Lu Minglan's class schedule.
She first reconciled the recent accounts with Mr. Dong, and then paid everyone's wages for the month a few days in advance.
The renovation of the teahouse was coming to an end, and Gu Qingdai stood in the brand-new teahouse and was filled with emotion.
"The next step is to open the windows to ventilate and let out the smell, and then arrange the decorations one by one. We are basically done." Gu Qingsong stood beside Gu Qingdai with his hands clasped, shaking his head and pointing.
Gu Qingdai leaned against a large mahogany pillar in the lobby, "Are you satisfied? This time I ask you, am I selling the Gu family's old house?"
Gu Qingsong smiled coquettishly, "How did I know you could cultivate like this? My predecessor Lian Erye sent someone to help us pull the line. As soon as it got dark, we went out to take a look. It's so beautiful!"
"Have you paid anyone?"
"Pay it, do you dare not listen to your explanation?"
Mr. Dong also walked close to the two siblings with his hands behind his back, "I never thought that I would see such a thing like this in my lifetime."
"Mr. Dong, you have to continue to suffer. After I fight for it, I will make you tired of counting money every day."
Mr. Dong stroked his goatee and laughed, "I don't get what I want."
Gu Qingdai looked around, "Why don't I see Mantang? Isn't he usually the most active?"
"I made dinner early in the morning and went out. It seems something happened at his relative's house, so I asked him to come over." Gu Qingsong glanced at Mr. Dong.
Mr. Dong didn't know about this, "Hey, I really didn't pay attention."
The whole hall went around half of Luancheng before finally meeting Huo Jie.
He cut out the complexities and explained the main idea simply. He had monitored the two craftsmen in the renovation team for a while, and they were indeed real craftsmen.
And after he moved into the teahouse, they didn't do anything inappropriate.
He even followed the two craftsmen to their homes and felt that everyone in their families was normal.
"That is to say, they may not even know what they are looking for. They just paid to search for others." Huo Jie thought deeply for a while and then looked at the whole hall.
Mantang changed his silly state in the teahouse and answered seriously: "I also think this possibility is relatively high. If the person behind the scenes is like this, it will be even harder to find out."
"Maybe these two craftsmen don't know who the other is." Huo Jie looked around cautiously.
Mantang also looked to both sides warily, "I can't stay longer, I need to go back as soon as possible."
"Second Master will be traveling far away in the near future. It may take at least a month or two, and at most he won't be back until the end of the year."
The whole room immediately understood what Huo Jie meant, "Don't worry, Second Master, Shopkeeper Gu will be absolutely safe with me here."
"It was Lu Mingze who sent Shopkeeper Gu home last night?"
Huo Jie was beside Lian Beichuan at that time. He was surrounded by everyone and couldn't get away. He watched Lu Mingze follow Gu Qingdai and leave.
"It should be the one named Lu. Her brother and I prepared the tea, but the shopkeeper didn't let anyone in."
Huo Jie couldn't help but smile and sigh: "If the second master knows this news, he will feel better."
"If the second master can't bear this, how can he be so upset for several months after leaving?" Mantang and Huo Jie sighed together. This chapter has been completed!
