Chapter 664: Chapter 675: The Scumbag Wants to Turn Back
"Alright, Miss Du, please go ahead with your busy schedule, no need to mind us."
Today, she had many guests because Mr. Du had passed away years ago, and although there were no guests from the officialdom, there were quite a few from the business dealings of the Yu Family in the past.
Since she was reopening the Manxiu Building in Jinxiu City, many prominent figures in the city should certainly pay their respects to them.
Lin Qianqing was cracking melon seeds while looking downstairs when she suddenly frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Youyou, who was drinking tea, paused and looked towards Lin Qianqing by the window.
"Why is he here?" Lin Qianqing muttered in a low voice.
"Who?" Gu Youyou put down her teacup.
Xiang Chun also went to join in the excitement.
"Who else? The... jerk you were talking about."
"Jerk?" Gu Youyou stood up and went to the window, only to see Young Master Xie getting down from the carriage.
Gu Youyou clapped her hands and chuckled.
"What’s this? The jerk wants to come back?"
"Come back?" Lin Qianqing also laughed, "Does he finally realize he did something stupid, losing a pearl and instead picking up a fish-eye as a treasure?"
Gu Youyou said, "That’s hard to say, just watch what he wants to do."
Xiang Chun, standing aside, was utterly confused, not understanding the back-and-forth between them.
"Miss, Younger Miss, what are you talking about? What jerk coming back, what about losing pearls for fish-eyes?"
Lin Qianqing turned around, smiled at her, and said, "It would take too long to explain to you, better not ask. Go and see if you can get something for Abao to eat. If it gets hungry, I’m afraid it might scare Miss Du’s guests."
Remembering the commotion Abao caused at the Lin Residence the other day, Xiang Chun shuddered and hurried out to check the kitchen.
Gu Youyou hummed in agreement, "Abao doesn’t have to eat live food; it eats both raw and cooked meat."
She was just afraid that if Xiang Chun brought a live chicken, and it splattered blood on the spot, it would be too frightening.
Xiang Chun agreed and went downstairs, while Abao continued to lie obediently on the ground.
Although it had grown big and resembled a wolf king, its eyes always appeared innocent and harmless to humans and animals alike.
Downstairs, Young Master Xie had entered the building, and someone informed Miss Du, who eventually came out.
When the two met again, Miss Du seemed very composed.
Young Master Xie felt a mixture of emotions, and his face was filled with a dejected look, the faint smile also very forced.
He instructed his servant to present a congratulatory gift, saying, "Xintong, this is the congratulatory gift my father asked me to bring. Congratulations on the opening success of the Manxiu Building."
Miss Du had someone receive it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Xie."
Seeing that it was awkward for Young Master Xie to just stand at the doorway, she then said, "Guests are to be welcomed. Since Young Master Xie has brought a gift, please come in for a drink, please!"
The young master seemed hesitant, but Miss Du didn’t want to say anything more.
Following shortly, another carriage stopped, and new guests arrived. Miss Du brushed past Young Master Xie without any pause.
Getting off the carriage was Xie Qinyun, who first greeted Miss Du happily, then glanced at her second brother, who was lingering at the door indecisively, and turned to take the congratulatory gift from the maid’s hands, saying to Miss Du, "This is the congratulatory gift my father asked me to bring. He couldn’t come, so he sent me instead. Just as well, I definitely wanted to come and congratulate you."
"A congratulatory gift from Mr. Xie?"
Holding onto another gift from Mr. Xie, Miss Du looked towards Young Master Xie standing at the doorway and watching her.
