Chapter 115: Misunderstanding Her!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Whispers among the crowd started to arise:

...

“Didn’t Gu Qingluan mention earlier that the Gu family emptied their coffers to buy the Universe Stabilizer? Could it be true?”

“It’s possible. Otherwise, Gu Jinyue wouldn’t have acted so shamelessly. If the money is already spent, there’s no reason to ask for it back.”

“Does she really think having a Revered One to back her up gives her the right to act lawlessly?”

“That’s right! There are many Revered Ones in this world, not just in the Gu family. But we haven’t seen anyone else as arrogant as her!”

“She’s just using borrowed power. 1 bet if the Gu family found out about her actions, they would scold her mercilessly.”

“Exactly! The Gu family’s reputation has been tarnished by her. If she doesn’t buy it, she shouldn’t snatch it away and scare off potential customers. She’s so shameless!”

…..

Gu Jinyue despised the old shopkeeper.

He deliberately spoke so loudly to make her look bad, didn’t he?

Her face turned red with anger as she scanned her surroundings with a fierce gaze. “If any of you continue spreading rumors, believe me, 1 will tell my uncle and make your entire family pay the price!”

The people were intimidated by her and dared not speak further.

Gu Jinyue looked coldly at the shopkeeper. “It’s just 100,000 taels. Take it! Do you really think 1 can’t come up with such a small amount of money?”

“Yes, yes, Fourth Miss Gu, as the respected daughter of the Gu family, you certainly don’t lack this amount of money.” The shopkeeper immediately put on a smile.

Gu Jinyue felt much better. “Remember, I am your special VIP. Treat me better from now on!”

As a special VIP, this influential shopkeeper had to nod and bow to her.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. “I will remember, Miss Gu. Here is the jewelry box you just purchased.”

With both hands, he handed the jewelry box to her.

Gu Jinyue signaled her maidservant behind her to take it and walked out with a proud demeanor.

Xiao Wenfei hurriedly followed her. “Jinyue!”

“What is it?”

Xiao Wenfei wanted to mention that she hadn’t returned her 3,000 taels yet, but seeing Gu Jinyue’s spoiled face, she lost her nerve.

“Jinyue, 1 envy you so much. You can easily come up with over a million taels. Your father is so good to you. Unlike me, who only has a few thousand taels as a monthly allowance.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinyue felt a blockage in her heart.

On an average month, she only had a few thousand taels to her name. She hadn’t anticipated that Xiao Wenfei would be facing a similar situation!

She wondered about the family background of both herself and Xiao Wenfei. The realization that her mother had prepared 1 million taels as her dowry only intensified Gu Jinyue’s frustration.

Unaware of Gu Jinyue’s thoughts, Xiao Wenfei continued to babble on.

Impatiently, Gu Jinyue interrupted her. “I have something to do. You don’t need to follow me!”

After saying that, she boarded the carriage and never mentioned the “3,000 taels” again.

Helplessly, Xiao Wenfei watched her leave.

On the other side, on the busy street.

Gu Qingluan asked curiously, “I couldn’t buy the gift 1 promised you earlier. Aren’t you angry with me?”

Tang Shijun shook her head. “Gu Jinyue intentionally wanted to compete with you. It’s normal that you couldn’t win. After all, your father…the Gu family head is biased, and you probably don’t have much money on you.”

How could Tang Shijun misunderstand her to such an extent?

Gu Qingluan didn’t know how she should react. She never expected to be seen as a penniless person in Tang Shijun’s eyes.

Gu Qingluan wondered if she should tell Tang Shijun that she had emptied the Gu family’s treasury several times, especially during the auction, depleting their wealth.

On second thought, she decided against it. The young girl would probably be frightened to death.

Believing that she had touched upon Gu Qingluan’s sensitive topic, Tang Shijun cautiously observed her. “Qingluan, 1 struggle with finding the right words. Please, don’t be upset with me…”

Gu Qingluan smiled and shook her head. “I’m not angry. But 1 did promise to give you a gift, and I can’t go back on my word. Tomorrow, I’ll have someone deliver the gift to your mansion.”

“Oh, you don’t have to be so formal. I’m already happy to be friends with you.”

“It’s already settled. You mustn’t refuse anymore.”

“Alright, Qingluan, can I ask you a question?”

“Yes?”

“Why did you help me?”
