Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Guh Tian’s Attitude (1)

"Let her come in," Guh Tian picked up the book in his hands and lowered his head to read.

A moment later, a light tread of footsteps sounded, and a pair of white slippers appeared in front of Guh Tian.

"Grandfather," the voice of Guh Siqing was hoarse, carrying a somewhat gloomy tone.

Guh Tian did not speak; he remained focused on his book, occasionally turning a page.

Guh Siqing’s gaze flickered slightly as she stood there quietly and obediently.

It was quite a while before Guh Tian finished another six or seven pages, then slowly looked up.

He regarded Guh Siqing, who was wearing a scarf over her face, with satisfaction.

"Good. You still know to cover your face. You haven’t gone completely mad!"

Guh Tian’s cold words stabbed viciously into Guh Siqing. Orphaned at a young age, she had endured the fickle human relationships within her family. It was only when her ability to sense jade was discovered in her teens that she began to be valued by Guh Tian. Despite his utilitarian nature, to Guh Siqing, he was still her grandfather, and it was not possible for her to feel absolutely nothing. But Guh Tian’s reactions over the past few days, and his words today, obliterated the last remnants of familial affection in her heart.

Guh Siqing suppressed the shame in her heart without a trace and said softly, "I’m sorry, Grandfather. It’s my fault that I’ve disgraced the Guh family."

"Hmph! You still know what shame is?!" Guh Tian snorted coldly, berating loudly, "Because of you, our Guh family has become the laughingstock of Xuandu City! No credibility, making a scene and acting shamelessly! That’s the image you have now! Because of a moment of pride, you’ve not only lost the title of the First Miss of Xuandu City but also caused me to lose ten million! Money is a minor matter; how am I, Guh Tian, supposed to face others now!"

The more Guh Tian spoke, the angrier he got. Just thinking about the looks he’d been getting from people these past few days made him wish he could smack Guh Siqing to death!

"Ten million?" Guh Siqing seized on the key point, muttering in confusion, "What ten million?"

Ah Chen, who had been standing by and seeing that Guh Tian wasn’t inclined to speak up, took the initiative to explain to Guh Siqing.

"Second Miss, after you were knocked unconscious, An Yiqing made it known that while you don’t have to apologize, the Guh family must show sincerity by coming up with ten million. Otherwise, you would be asked to leave Xuandu City," Ah Chen spoke very tactfully, translating "get out of Xuandu City" into more civilized terms.

Guh Siqing bit hard on her scabbed lips, the false teeth in her mouth seemingly reminding her of the humiliation she had suffered over the past few days.

Ten million? Guh Siqing felt a surge of resentment. Clearly, An Yiqing was insulting her. Was she, the Second Miss of the Guh family, only worth ten million in her eyes?!

If An Yiqing knew what Guh Siqing was thinking at this moment, she would have reacted with incredulous laughter. The ten million was part of a deal between her and Guh Tian; what did it have to do with Guh Siqing? Let alone ten million, Guh Siqing wasn’t even worth a penny!

"Grandfather, did you give it to her?" Guh Siqing asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Hmph! Do you still have the face to ask?" Guh Tian snorted coldly, "Not only did I give the ten million, but I also made sure the whole of Xuandu City saw it! Now everyone knows the Guh family eagerly handed over the apology fee!"

Guh Tian had barely finished speaking when Guh Siqing screamed, "Grandfather, why did you give it to her? The fault was hers from the start! How could I, the Second Miss of the Guh family, bow my head and apologize to her? Even if the Guh family doesn’t apologize, would An Yiqing really dare to drive me out of Xuandu City?"

"Slap!—"

A resounding slap silenced the outburst from Guh Siqing completely. Guh Tian’s slap was so powerful that it knocked the scarf from her face, exposing her uneven right cheek.
