Chapter 156: 111 Slap in the Face (Second Update)
Gu Jiao did indeed plan to go to the Iron Shop, but she ran into a bit of trouble.
As soon as she arrived in town, she noticed that there were more officials than usual, but she didn’t know why, so she asked an owner of the Bun Shop.
The Bun Shop’s owner was warm-hearted and didn’t ignore her because she didn’t buy buns, “Miss, you might not be aware. Rumor has it a Prince from the Capital City has come to our town, those officials are here to protect him!”
It wasn’t just obvious officials either, Gu Jiao noticed there were quite a few experts in commoner attire mixed among the seemingly ordinary crowd.
This was quite a fuss.
The road to the Iron Shop was blocked, so Gu Jiao decided to go another day.
She went to the private school to wait for Xiaojingkong and Gu Yan, but didn’t expect to bump into Gu Jinyu.
Gu Jinyu was accompanying Miss Zhuang on a shopping trip in town, and they were waiting for Osmanthus Cakes from Liji.
Miss Zhuang naturally wouldn’t queue obediently, she used silver to buy all the Osmanthus Cakes in stock, but the Cakes weren’t made that fast.
“Sister.” Gu Jinyu saw Gu Jiao, let go of Miss Zhuang’s hand, and came over to greet Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao had little interest in Gu Jinyu, she gave her a lukewarm glance, with no intention of stopping.
Gu Jinyu caught up with her: “Sister!”
Gu Jiao was annoyed: “I’ve already said, I’m not your sister. Do not call me that anymore.”
Gu Jinyu was surprised: “But…”
“Hey! How can you talk like that?”
Miss Zhuang had suddenly appeared next to Gu Jinyu.
Because Gu Jinyu had curried favor with her, Miss Zhuang had become friends with Gu Jinyu and considered her as such.
Seeing her friend speak to someone else so obsequiously and getting cold treatment in return, Miss Zhuang felt her own face was being insulted.
Gu Jiao, who didn’t know Miss Zhuang, had no intention of getting to know her either, and she distanced herself from the two with a blank face.
Never having been so blatantly ignored, Miss Zhuang’s anger surged: “You stop right there!”
Gu Jinyu pulled on Miss Zhuang’s sleeve: “Miss Zhuang, please let it go.”
Miss Zhuang snapped: “What’s there to let go of? This insolent commoner dares to show her true colors to me, a young mistress of a well-known family! Who gave her the courage?”
“She…” Gu Jinyu said awkwardly, “She is my sister.”
Miss Zhuang scoffed: “She is your sister? Can someone like her match up to you?”
Gu Jinyu explained: “I’m not lying, she is indeed my father’s child.”
Miss Zhuang looked Gu Jiao up and down: “Incredibly poor and ugly… Ah, I understand now, she is your father’s illegitimate daughter!”
Lord Gu only had one daughter whose status was acknowledged, if he had any other children, they must be born of a mistress, which would make them illegitimate!
Gu Jinyu tried to stop her: “No, Miss Zhuang… it’s a bit complicated… I’ll explain it to you slowly later…” freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Miss Zhuang sneered coldly: “There’s no need for you to defend her, she’s just a pathetic creature that can’t show her face in public. Why do you need to give her face? I’ve seen a lot of people like her, they rely on their mother’s sly tricks, thinking they are a real young master, not realizing that a chicken is still a chicken, even on a tree branch it can’t become a phoenix!”
Though the insult was targeted at Gu Jiao, Gu Jinyu felt like it was aimed at her, her face burning hot with embarrassment.
Gu Jiao remained incredibly calm, as though the person being scolded wasn’t her.
This made Gu Jinyu feel even more stuffed.
This Miss Zhuang… she could really insult people in a hurtful way…
Miss Zhuang had been cursing for a while and didn’t see the other party react, she felt like she was punching cotton, she walked a few steps forward, pointing at Gu Jiao’s nose and said: “You, apologize to my friend immediately!”
Gu Jiao looked at her like she was a fool.
This small gesture completely enraged Miss Zhuang, just at that moment, the private school was dismissed, Gu Yan and Xiaojingkong came out.
The two immediately spotted Gu Jiao, Xiaojingkong rushed to Gu Jiao’s side.
Gu Yan couldn’t run, he could only watch Xiaojingkong throw him into Gu Jiao’s arms.
Xiaojingkong hugged Jiaojiao!
Miss Zhuang was close to Gu Jiao, Xiaojingkong ran past her and accidentally brushed against her skirt.
Miss Zhuang instantly flared up: “How do you walk? You’ve dirtied my skirt!”
Gu Jiao’s eyes turned cold.
Gu Yan also had a chilly expression.
Xiaojingkong didn’t catch the hostility in her words, he let go of his hold on Jiaojiao, looked at Miss Zhuang’s skirt very seriously: “Did I make your skirt dirty? Let me see!”
