Chapter 381



381 Not anxious at all

“I heard that you went to Yanxia in the afternoon?”

After coming out of the mist, Gu Zi returned to her original state.

the situation at yuan shi was tense, but as the head of yuan shi, yu wen didn’t show any signs of panic. he continued to leisurely sit in his office, drinking and chatting.

oh, he wasn’t drinking. he was mixing drinks.

he stood behind the counter and mixed a glass of wine before placing it in front of gu zi.

“yes, i did.”

he took a sip of wine and praised, ” “the wine is not bad.”

“For what? Let alone with Yanxia, you don’t even have any contact with the entire city of Qing, except for me. What matter is it that you have to personally visit Yanxia?”

“I’m going to meet the young lady of the Shi family,”

“shi yan?”

yu wen stopped mixing the wine and squinted at him.”gu zi, do you like her?”

don’t forget that she’s the Jiang family’s fifth Lord’s woman. It’s not a wise move to snatch her from the fifth Lord.

gu zi drank and raised her eyebrows at him,”why does your tone sound a little sour?” Are you jealous?”

I’m talking to you seriously, Gu Zi. I’m not joking. You can like anyone but this miss Shi. yu wen said with a serious expression.

After staring at him for a moment, Gu Zi said, ” “Look at how anxious you are. Am I such a brainless person? I’d be crazy to target fifth Lord Jiang’s people.”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t have any ideas, but I’m afraid”

He suddenly stopped.

“But what?” Yu Wen asked.

nothing. I just think that the young lady of the Shi family is quite a character for having such achievements at such a young age. Now that she has the backing of the fifth master Jiang, her strength can not be underestimated. Even if we can’t be friends, we should at least not be on bad terms with her.

I’ve always been curious and I like crowds. You know that. I went to Yanxia to visit her personally because I was curious and wanted to know more about this miss Shi. At the same time, I also wanted to express my goodwill.

“Don’t keep talking about me, let’s talk about you. i don’t think shi boyu’s words in the morning were fake. he should be venting for su chen, and yanxia, tianwang, and su chen himself probably won’t let this go. you’ve also offended xie heng, and i heard that xie heng has been investigating you recently. he should be coming to settle the score with you soon.”

facing so many people at the same time, your situation doesn’t look good. Why don’t I see you in a hurry? ”

“why should i be anxious?”

he mixed another glass of wine and handed it to gu zi, ” “try this one.”

Gu Zi finished the wine in her hand and took it without any politeness.

“Not bad, your bartending skills have improved. I’m afraid many professional bartenders can’t compare to you.”

“thank you for the compliment.”

“After knowing me for so many years, you’re the one who understands me the most. Don’t you know that I don’t care about the original force at all? i didn’t have my brother’s courage when i stayed in the past. i was afraid that once i left, i would have to sleep under the bridge and live a precarious life.”

“of course, it’s not like i can’t live like this, but i’m not sure if i’ll have the chance to improve myself again after leaving the original force. it’s fine to live a bitter life, but i don’t want to live a bitter life.”

“I stayed in the original state and borrowed Xie Liu’s power to learn my skills. I was also a qualified heir and a filial junior when he was alive. After he passed away, I also took action against Xie Heng.”

“that time, i was aiming to take xie heng’s life. if it was someone else, they might have really left their life in qingcheng. but xie heng’s life is big, and it’s not something i can control.”

“In my heart, I’ve already taken Xie Heng’s life. Even if he’s lucky enough to survive in the end, I’ve already made a deadly enemy of him.”

” i feel that what i’ve done is enough to thank liu for his education. there’s no reason for me to continue to fulfill his last wish and guard his foundation. what do you think? ”

“moreover, i’ve found a true heir for him. it’s just that my brother is unwilling to inherit the original momentum and grandfather’s last will. this is still not something i can control. i’ve spent a lot of effort to find my brother.”

“In this way, I don’t owe grandfather anything.”

Gu Zi looked at him with a smile,”Yu Wen, aren’t you being too unkind?” Xie Liu died less than two years ago, and you’re already so ungrateful. Isn’t that bad? Although what you’ve done can indeed be considered as returning his favor, but a truly loyal and righteous person would not do things like you.”

he mixed another glass of wine. this time, yu wen didn’t hand it to gu zi and sat down to drink it himself.

“then do you think i look like a person who is loyal?” he asked with a smile.

“It doesn’t look like it.” gu zi raised her eyebrows and answered to the point.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Wasn’t the reason he had a good relationship with Yu Wen because they were the same kind of people?

He himself wasn’t a good person, so Gu Zi naturally wasn’t either.

Affectionate and righteous?

They didn’t have such a thing.

In Gu Zi’s eyes, it was very rare for someone like Yu Wen to still remember the kindness of his upbringing and even offend Xie Heng and the Xie family.

If it was him, he might not have done so.

Without any benefits, he still had to find himself a strong enemy. He would not usually do such an unprofitable business.

“what are you planning to do now?”

“I’ll play with them for a few days. If I don’t let them vent their anger, even if I leave Qingcheng, they’ll still remember me, and my days will never be peaceful. You must know that any one of these people is hard to deal with, let alone so many. I don’t want to live the rest of my life on the run.”

“that’s a fact.”

“Do you need my help with anything?” she asked with a smile.

no need. The original Force’s outcome has already been decided. There’s no need to add in more losses.

“from your tone, why do i feel like you’re completely treating me as one of your own?”

Gu Zi seemed to be smiling, but he didn’t wait for him to answer before he said, but if you treat me as one of your own, why have I never heard you mention that you’re not Xie Liu’s biological grandson? I’ve also never heard you mention that Xie Liu has a biological grandson who’s wandering outside and you even call him brother.

“i see that you’re not forcing yourself to call him” brother.”in your heart, you see him as your own brother, right?”

“since it’s like this, no matter if it’s for public or private reasons, you should be very anxious to find him. why didn’t you mention it to me? With my help, wouldn’t you get twice the result with half the effort?”

Speaking up to this point, Gu Zi’s eyes narrowed and a trace of hostility flashed across his eyes, ” “or are you, yu wen, on guard against me?”

Yu Wen’s hand, which was holding the wine glass, paused.

He smiled and said,”I’m not guarded against you. It’s true that I don’t fully trust you.” Don’t feel unhappy, we’re all people who walk on the tip of a knife, how can we have so much wholehearted trust? you don’t necessarily trust me completely, do you?”

gu zi looked at him and suddenly laughed.

“Yes, I do.” he said.

Then, he opened the first-grade wine, poured himself a full glass, and finished it in one gulp. Then, he poured a second cup and finished it in one gulp.

Yu Wen saw this and frowned. He raised his hand to snatch the bottle from him, but he retracted his hand halfway.

he didn’t say much.

she just sat there and watched him drink.
