The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 693 - Chapter 693 Chapter 693 Arrogant

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Arrogant Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Arrogant The lady, hoofed by Su Yunjin’s wrath, went to find Gu Ya at Fuman Building.

“Gu Brother, you can’t leave. If you go, where can my father find another accountant?” The lady stood in front of Gu Ya, barring his way.

Gu Ya looked at the girl rushing over, recognizing her as the shopkeeper Wu’s only daughter, Wu Xinxin, aware that shopkeeper Wu doted on his only child and would discuss most matters of the wine shop with her.

It must have been shopkeeper Wu who told her about his resignation. “Miss Wu, although I have resigned, I have already agreed with shopkeeper Wu that until Hongyun Building finds a new accountant, I will temporarily handle your accounts. As compensation, I’ll waive my salary for the extra accounts I manage for Hongyun Building,” he said.

By doing so, Gu Ya both saved face for Hongyun Building and provided them with compensation. The contract he had signed with Hongyun Building stipulated he would serve as the manager for at least three months. Having left after only one month, he had breached the agreement and was ready to compensate Hongyun Building in silver, according to the agreed-upon rate.

“Gu Brother, I don’t care, you signed a contract with my father, and you should continue working as an accountant for our Fuman Building. If you suddenly leave, that is a breach of faith,” she insisted.

Disdaining the modest wine shop run by Su Yunjin and her family, Wu Xinxin frowned in disgust, “Gu Brother, Hongyun Building is a prominent wine shop, and working as an accountant there carries more prestige. I just visited your family’s little wine shop; it’s so small, nowhere near the standard of our Hongyun Building.”

That wine shop was the little wife’s painstaking effort, and she had recently been busy with its affairs. Upon hearing Wu Xinxin speak so disparagingly of his wife’s shop,

his handsome face immediately darkened.

“Miss Wu, the size of our wine shop surely has nothing to do with you, does it?” angered, Gu Ya snapped, and Wu Xinxin realized that her words had been inappropriate.

She hurriedly tried to explain, “Gu Brother, don’t get me wrong, that’s not what Xinxin meant; I was just thinking of your best interest. Gu Brother, I…”

“Miss Wu need not concern herself with my affairs,” Gu Ya interjected without letting her finish, circling around her and walking off. Wu Xinxin still wanted to stop him,

but considering the bustling crowd in the wine shop, she dared not block his path any further. In the meantime, shopkeeper Wu, who had heard about the incident, summoned Wu Xinxin to his side.

“Xinxin, I heard you went looking for Gu Ya just now?” Shopkeeper Wu had carelessly mentioned Gu Ya’s departure from his accountant position to his daughter the night before.

Unintentionally, his casual remark had led his daughter to the wine shop today to persuade Gu Ya to stay, “Father, you said Gu Brother is very skilled at keeping accounts. I don’t want someone as capable as him to stop helping you just like that, so I wanted to help you keep Gu Brother here,” she said.

Wu Xinxin genuinely wanted to help her father retain Gu Ya. Shopkeeper Wu was wholeheartedly planning to let his daughter Wu Xinxin run the shop in the future.

Shopkeeper Wu had never kept the affairs of the wine shop from Wu Xinxin, even bringing her along for business matters, so his daughter could share his worries.

On one hand, shopkeeper Wu was pleased; on the other, he cautioned his daughter, “Xinxin, listen to your father. Gu Brother has his reasons for resigning. It’s important to find reliable people to run a wine shop, but we can’t force others to work for us. Father has already agreed to Gu Brother’s resignation, so don’t cause any more trouble over it.”
