Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Related to You

Seeing no objections on his face, perhaps the problem wasn’t with this meal.

It was best to think it was simply an overthought.

At the table, she observed all food and drink meticulously, only eating after others did.

These two uncles were too strange; it was unclear if one of them was the problem or if both were, or if it was merely a coincidence.

During the meal, on the surface everyone was happy and the family was harmonious, but who knew what each was thinking in secret.

After lunch, Gu Youyou left with Abao.

Initially, she planned to head straight to the medical hall that afternoon, but on the way, she encountered Jin Zijin, who looked hurried and somewhat anxious.

It seemed the message sent by Shunzi had reached him.

His insights were so penetrating, staying for the meal at the Gu Family, it was inevitable he would think of other things.

"Are you alright?" Jin Zijin asked.

Gu Youyou felt there was something wrong with her two uncles, yet she hadn’t found anything amiss during the meal, as if she was just overthinking, but she trusted herself, it wasn’t possible that she was.

She frowned slightly, nodding and said, "Second Uncle and Third Uncle seem to want to reconcile with me, they even bought meat to treat me."

"Then why do you look so troubled?"

Gu Youyou replied indifferently, "You’re asking what you already know."

The two of them really were...

"Alright, enough nonsense, what do you think their intentions are?" Gu Youyou asked.

Jin Zijin narrowed his eyes and took on a serious tone, saying, "It’s hard to say, aren’t you going back tomorrow? I’ll accompany you."

...

Together with Gu Youyou and Abao, Jin Zijin returned home. Before even entering the door, they encountered Yue Rujing rushing out.

Seeing the scene, he immediately complained, "Neither of you were at home, I thought something had happened, it scared me to death. And here you two are, strolling with the dog, making me worry."

Jin Zijin asked, "Weren’t you at Jisheng Hall? How come you’re back?"

Yue Rujing naturally wouldn’t have returned without reason, his urgent manner must mean there was some issue.

Gu Youyou knew that their matter was not something they wanted her to know, so she took Abao and headed into the courtyard, saying politely, "I’ll go inside first, you two chat."

"Hey!" Jin Zijin stopped her, saying, "Let’s listen together!"

Gu Youyou was slightly startled, looking at him with some astonishment.

Listen together? What if Yue Rujing was about to discuss something not meant for her ears?

Her gaze shifted to Yue Rujing.

With a helpless and bitter smile, Yue Rujing said, "Since the older brother has spoken, just stay."

It sounded like charity? If it was going to be difficult, it didn’t matter—Gu Youyou snorted, a bit annoyed, "I don’t have time."

She could hear them from inside anyway, why make such a fuss.

The elder brother had said, no matter whose side Gu Youyou was on, they should strive to win her over to their side. If they were still guarded against her in front of her, then there was no chance of winning her over. It wasn’t something secretive; Yue Rujing felt there was no need to avoid her.

Yue Rujing blocked her path, giving a smile and said, "Gu Manager, this is about you, you should listen."

It concerned her?

Well, alright then.

Gu Youyou glared at him with annoyance, crossing her arms over her chest and tilting her chin up arrogantly.

She couldn’t lose her presence, especially in front of Yue Rujing, lest he think she was easy to bully.

Lest they always be suspicious of her.

Yue Rujing’s expression turned solemn, he glanced at Gu Youyou, then at Jin Zijin and said, "That grandson indeed settled in the inn and even sent out a letter, but my people intercepted it."

Yue Rujing handed a letter to Jin Zijin, who took it, looked it over, and then passed it to Gu Youyou.
