Gu Zhenkang looked at Xiu Jie, telling him to pass on the message again.
Xiu Jie's face twisted. He had no idea what made Officer Gu this confident that whatever he raised would move Elder Miss. Did he really think that Gu Mansion was a wonderful place?
Despite what he was thinking inwardly, Xiu Jie still passed on the message. He was a servant. He could not decide what his master wanted. So he just did what he was required to do.
However, he would not allow anyone to walk into the mansion without Elder Miss' permit. So Gu Zhenkang and his men were waiting outside, whilst he went inside to pass on the message.
It was snowing very heavily today, and Xiu Jie got a lot of snow on his shoulders as he walked from the gate to the room.
Gu Chaoyan, who was drinking tea, got quite surprised when Xiu Jie showed up again with a message. What on earth was going on here?
She asked Xiu Jie to come in and asked Qing to serve him a cup of hot tea.
