Old Master Gu naturally did not like to deal with such trivial matters, so he did not inquire further.
Xia Chuxue's face clearly looked like it had been hit, but she claimed that she injured herself.
Such sacrifices for the greater good, accommodating to the whole picture, was exactly the kind of woman the Gu Family needed.
At that moment, he already had a very favorable impression of Xia Chuxue, naturally preferring her over Xia Yinian, seeing her as a clever and sensible girl.
"Hmm." He nodded, looking at Xia Yiru, "Were you initially planning to have this girl come back with Ling Qian?"
"Yes." Xia Yiru could truly maintain a calm demeanor, nodding his head.
"Nian Nian, although also quite pretty, has been rather… disobedient since childhood."
"Last time when Ling Qian visited, this girl even stayed out late till dawn with some... friends."
Wouldn't it pain Old Master Xia to speak of his granddaughter in such a manner?
