âOf course.â Brother Dingâs expression changed for the better. He thought that the best way to persuade Gu Changshu, who had his heart set on a woman, was to have that woman convince him.
Then, the four of them drank another two cups of tea before leaving. After Brother Ding left the teahouse, he asked someone to get Wen Yunfang to the study room.
Wen Yunfang had been waiting for a long time. When Brother Ding finally called for her, she could not wait to ask when she entered the study room. âHow did it go, Godfather? Did Gu Changshu promise to let me take Gu Junhui away? â
âPut away your smug face.â
Brother Ding knocked on the table and warned her. âHe did agree, but let me be blunt. Donât blame me for not acknowledging you if you ruin my plan.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat can I do to Gu Junhui, Godfather?â
Wen Yunfang acted coquettishly. âDonât I need a partner? Besides, Iâm looking after Gu Junhui for you.â
âOthers may not know about your narrow-mindedness, but Iâve been there while you grow up.â
Brother Ding said, âThe things you did with your mother may be hidden from others, but it canât be hidden from Ah Zhu and me. We know very well what you did to Gu Junhui. Iâm warning you, if you continue to be so disobedient after leaving Shu City, donât call me Godfather in the future.â
âWhat can I do to her?â
Wen Yunfang almost turned hostile, but she finally realized that the person beside her was not her subordinate but Brother Ding.
âI have already told Gu Changshu that Gu Junhui will tag along with you. You will protect Gu Junhui. If anything happens to Gu Junhui, then it will be your responsibility. I currently need talented people on my list. Changshu is a bold person. He is aggressive and ruthless. Gu Junhui is his heart and soul, so you have to treat her well!â Brother Ding said.
In the end, Wen Yunfang could not hold back her temper. She grunted unhappily and left after slamming the door.
Ah Zhu was not in a hurry to leave the house. Instead, he followed Gu Changshu and Gu Junhui to their room. He closed the door and spoke softly to the two of them.
âYoung Miss is not as friendly as she appears, especially now that sheâs acting like youâve stolen Gu Changshu. So, Junhui, you have to be wary of her. Even though we have made a promise, she has many tricks up her sleeve. Those promises are not useful at all. If something happens, she will have many excuses to shirk her responsibility. My original intention was to let you stay in the house for some time and not go anywhere. Young Miss must have said something to Brother Ding later that convinced him to do that. Brother Ding is a very suspicious man. He wants Junhui as a hostage so that Changshu will not betray him.â
After a pause, Ah Zhu said worriedly, âAfter you leave with her, no matter what she says, donât taint yourself with the things that she does. Junhui, since you called me brother, Iâll tell you honestly. The things that we do are mostly illegal. Changshu wants to protect you. If he doesnât want you to touch him, then donât touch him. When youâre with her, just act like a noblewoman from ancient times. Just eat, drink, and have fun. Donât ask about anything else, donât look, and donât be curious.â
âI know, Brother Ah Zhu.â
Jiang Yao was really very grateful for Ah Zhu. Although he did not need to tell her that, he did. He said those words for her sake.
