The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 30

No one dared to speak at this moment.

There wasn’t even a plea for mercy.

Even today, all those who come here are guests of the Gu family.

But offending the Jiang family for the sake of Gu family is not a good deal.

Jiang Yuhuai remained silent, looking down at the girl in his arms.

But he clearly made his stance clear.

The person the Gu family offended was not him.

It was Yu Guiwan.

Those who had just cast disdainful glances at Yu Guiwan were now all meek and obedient.

Even if they were abandoned by their families and grew up in a small county town, they are still people they can’t afford to offend right now.

Yu Guiwan glanced over with a faint expression.

Madam Gu noticed her gaze and instinctively shielded Gu Yingwei behind her.

The head of the Gu family looked grim and said nothing, but still stood beside Madam Gu.

And there’s Gu Jinyu.

The eldest son of the Gu family.

At this critical moment, he stepped forward to plead for his sister.

Gu Yingwei was indeed the pampered second young lady of the Gu family.

Yu Guiwan yawned lazily, “Hmm, I’m tired and a little thirsty.”

Gu Jinyu was taken aback.

Jiang Yuhuai lowered his eyes. “Then let’s go sit for a while? What would you like to drink? How about juice?”

Yu Guiwan obediently hummed in agreement, “Okay.”

Seeing this, Gu Jinyu quickly came to his senses and said, “This way, please, I’ll take you there.”

He also instructed the servants to prepare some fresh fruit juice.

Prepare any kind of juice, as long as it’s available.

Lu Yichen saw this scene and gave a half-smile.

He had expected it, but Gu Yingwei was just asking for trouble, insisting on walking right into the line of fire.

Jiang Yuhuai glanced at him, then put his arm around Yu Guiwan and walked towards the sofa.

Lu Yichen and Fu Zhengnan naturally followed.

Seeing that they had left, Madam Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She gently patted Gu Yingwei’s hand to comfort her.

Yu Guiwan happened to turn around and saw this scene.

She paused, looked away, and walked on with a calm expression.

Jiang Yuhuai’s gaze deepened slightly, and he tightened his grip on her.

The group walked towards the sofa.

Not long after I sat down, the servants respectfully brought over several kinds of fresh fruit juice.

Jiang Yuhuai glanced at it, didn’t move, and then looked at Lu Yichen beside him.

Lu Yichen resignedly got up, picked up a clean cup, and examined it carefully. He even seemed to sniff it, though it was unclear what he was smelling.

He turned around and asked, “Sister-in-law, what kind of juice would you like?”

Yu Guiwan: “…Orange juice.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yichen poured a glass of orange juice, his gaze lingering on it for a moment before he brought it over and handed it to Jiang Yuhuai.

Then Jiang Yuhuai handed it to Yu Guiwan.

He said in a low voice, “Drink it.”

Seeing how cautious the two were, Yu Guiwan remained silent for a few seconds, then took the cup and drank a few sips.

She didn’t tell them that many of the medications were actually useless to her.

So there’s no need to be so cautious.

But when she met Jiang Yuhuai’s gaze, she swallowed those words.

Lu Yichen sat on the sofa and looked around. “Didn’t I just see those people from the Yu family? How come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

Fu Zhengnan looked up and pointed with his chin, “Isn’t it right there?”

The group looked over.

Yu Mingsheng was seen bowing and scraping, seemingly talking to the Gu family head and the others.

At this distance, you can’t hear it anymore.

But it’s still noticeable.

After a moment, Fu Zhengnan chuckled, with a hint of disdain, “She really doesn’t know what’s good for her.”

Lu Yichen rolled his eyes. “Do you think if they were any better, would Third Brother still be sitting here right now?”

Jiang Yuhuai looked over but didn’t say anything.

Yu Guiwan was also curious.

Fu Zhengnan raised an eyebrow.

Lu Yichen swallowed hard. “So, you mean, you greet your sister-in-law’s family with a serious and earnest attitude?”

Fu Zhengnan: “…”

Yu Guiwan looked away in disappointment.

Lu Yichen: “?”

Jiang Dong, who was standing next to them, couldn’t help but whisper a reminder, “Young Master has already treated Young Madam’s family like this.”

Lu Yichen was shocked. “What? When? How come I didn’t know?”

Jiang Dong: “…”

He glanced at Jiang Yuhuai before briefly explaining to him.

Lu Yichen was surprised for a while, then looked over with a regretful expression.

He paused for a moment, then said, “Third Brother, I suddenly remembered there’s something quite important I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. How about I go back to Tan Garden with you later?”

Jiang Yuhuai glanced at him expressionlessly.

Jiang Dong: “…”

That’s a clever plan.

…

Yu Mingsheng kept an eye on the commotion from a corner in the crowd.

However, they were a bit far away, so I couldn’t hear what they were saying very clearly.

After Jiang Yuhuai and the others left, he came out and walked towards the Gu family head.

“Master Gu.”

Upon hearing this, the head of the Gu family turned around.

Having just faced the imposing Jiang Yuhuai, she was still somewhat unsettled.

He paused, unsure of how to begin.

As a result, Yu Mingsheng spoke first, “I’m sorry, Patriarch Gu. My daughter was just too naughty and willful. That’s why she displeased Miss Gu. Don’t worry, I will definitely teach her a good lesson when I get back.”

The head of the Gu family remained silent.

Madam Gu and Gu Yingwei did not leave either.

I happened to overhear those words.

Yu Mingsheng didn’t notice the complicated expressions on their faces as they looked at him.

Instead, they keep apologizing here.

Gu Jinyu remained silent for a moment, then glanced at the sofa not far away, as if he understood something.

He collected his thoughts and chuckled lightly, “I’m sorry, Patriarch Yu, we still have other guests to attend to. Please make yourselves at home.”

Yu Mingsheng paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, “Okay, it’s alright, you guys go ahead and greet the guests.”

After saying that, he left with Cheng Xiang and Yu Yunshu.

Gu Jinyu watched their departing figures, his expression unreadable.

Madam Gu asked in confusion, “Ayu, what are you looking at?”

Gu Jinyu withdrew his gaze and looked at his parents and sister. “I think I now understand why Third Master Jiang suddenly came to Weiwei’s birthday party today.”

Now it was the Gu family head’s turn to be stunned. “Why?”
