Chapter 407: Chapter 417: A Petty Person Seeks Revenge

Mixing colors, shading, Gu Youyou didn’t dare to paint quickly this time. It took almost half an hour for Mo Yue to paint, before she was satisfied with the coloring of the woman in the painting.

She used realistic methods, striving to make the skin and eyes resemble a real person as closely as possible, and the woman, by nature, was as beautiful as a painting.

The gentle upturn of her lips seemed ready to burst into laughter at any moment.

Gu Youyou had already put away her brushes and wiped her hands.

Marquess Yue, who was lifting the painting, was still stretching his neck by the wall.

Gu Youyou actually almost forgot about him, how frightening!

She hurriedly said, "Marquess, I have finished painting, please come and see if it resembles her."

Marquess Yue strode over excitedly, his gaze landing on the face of the woman in the painting, staring mesmerized.

Gu Youyou stole a glance at him, noticed he was motionless, and so she moved back a bit.

Marquess Yue’s adoring gaze upon the woman in the painting was so obvious, even a fool could tell, so it must indeed resemble her, right?

"It does, it’s very lifelike!" Marquess Yue voiced after a while, with a click of his tongue, "She should indeed possess this charm."

Marquess Yue turned back to look at Gu Youyou, his face filled with excitement, and then he deeply bowed to her.

Gu Youyou was startled; he was paying respects to her.

Gu Youyou hastened to say, "Marquess, what is this for? You flatter me too much."

But he said, "Thank you, Doctor Gu, for your help."

Help?

"I must ask Doctor Gu not to mention this to anyone, including Jin Zijin."

Gu Youyou understood, nodding repeatedly.

In Lotus Village, if you spoke too much, you might even get beaten up, let alone in front of Marquess Yue.

This was his secret. He was willing to humble himself, probably for the sake of Jin Zijin. If it weren’t for her relationship with Jin Zijin, the safest approach for him would likely have been to silence her permanently.

That’s what they always did on TV.

...

"Creeping out of the alley like that, anyone can tell you’re up to no good, looks like I’m doing the people a favor," Yue Ruxue said with a venomous look in her eyes toward Gu Youyou.

She embarrassed herself on New Year’s Eve, and instead of vindicating her, her grandmother and parents were afraid she would cause trouble, so they confined her to the house.

Now that she was finally released, the first thing she naturally wanted to do was to take revenge on Gu Youyou.

"Be ready, as soon as she turns this corner, we strike."

"Yes, young lady!" Two men dressed as house servants beside her responded.

Gu Youyou, having just returned from painting for Marquess Yue, with her keen ears, heard the familiar voice from afar. On approaching, she realized that the miss from the Yue Family intended to teach her a lesson.

As the saying goes, better to provoke a gentleman than a villain, and this young lady’s temper really took the cake.

It was truly an experience to see a girl rushing to become the other woman, infatuated with an older man.

Gu Youyou walked down the alley without betraying any emotion, listening to the voices, knowing they would spring their trap once she turned into the alley ahead.

Heh... She sneered inwardly and as she was about to step into their ambush, she suddenly stopped, choosing instead the road opposite.

Taking this route back to Jisheng Hall was a bit longer, but ahead was the main street, bustling with people.

Since they had chosen an alleyway to catch her, they obviously intended to carry out their deed discreetly, which meant they were wary of crowded places where it would be difficult to act.

On the main street, with plenty of people around, it would be easier to run away; she had the advantage in time, location, and social dynamics. It seemed the young lady would come up empty-handed! Gu Youyou thought gleefully.

"Young lady, she’s heading to the opposite side," one of the house servants, seeing Gu Youyou not falling for the trap, said in desperation.

Yue Ruxue naturally saw it too, and unable to reconcile with watching her opportunity slip away, she kicked the back of the servant who spoke up and shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Go after her!"

"But young lady, that street..."
