Chapter 702: Chapter 702 I did it for your own good Chapter 702: Chapter 702 I did it for your own good Su Yunjin looked towards Gu Ya.
At this time, shouldn’t Gu Ya be taking care of accounts at the Hongyun Building? Why had Gu Ya suddenly returned? Wu Xinxin’s face showed a trace of embarrassment. Oh no! How much of that conversation had Gu Brother heard? If Gu Brother had heard it all, what should she do? Wu Xinxin felt a surge of guilt.
“Gu Brother, listen to my explanation, it’s for your own good. My father says that you’re a capable man, and I don’t want a man of your abilities to have his future delayed.”
With the appearance of having Gu Ya’s best interests at heart, Wu Xinxin once again looked at the liquor shop with disdain, “Such a small tavern, if you, Gu Brother, are really trapped in this place, then you would be buried here. Only a big establishment like our Hongyun Building is suitable for you, Gu Brother. You’re a smart man, I believe you understand these principles without needing me to explain them,” Wu Xinxin insisted.
She didn’t notice the increasingly sarcastic curl of Gu Ya’s lips.
She reached out to take Gu Ya’s hand but he dodged it, “Miss Wu, please behave with propriety. I, Gu, am a married man, and it would be best for you to maintain your dignity.”
With indignation, Wu Xinxin withdrew her hand. In her eagerness to retain Gu Ya, she could no longer care about propriety.
“Gu Brother, I am my father’s only daughter. Unlike other families that pass their business on to sons, our Wu Family is different; I am the only child of my father. Our family’s business will eventually be inherited by me. My father said, once I am married, our Wu Family’s Hongyun Building will be passed on to me. Gu Brother, if you work hard in our tavern, I, as the shopkeeper in the future, will not treat you unfairly. Gu Brother, if you’re willing, I can even let you be the manager,” said Wu Xinxin, her face full of shyness, almost as if she were offering herself to Gu Ya as well, thinking these offers would tempt him.
The position of manager at their Wu Family’s Hongyun Building was coveted by many, and Wu Xinxin couldn’t believe that Gu Ya wouldn’t want it. Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya at that moment as well.
She was curious to see what Gu Ya would say.
“Miss Wu, how the Hongyun Building fares does not concern me, nor do I have any interest. If the Hongyun Building lacks a manager, you should seek someone else. I, Gu Ya, will not work at your Hongyun Building,” he said.
What?
Gu Ya actually rejected her?
And said he wouldn’t work at their Hongyun Building? Wu Xinxin watched Gu Ya in disbelief, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost. No, she refused to believe it.
She had explicitly offered the position of manager at the Hongyun Building to Gu Ya, a position others would beg for, and he had just rejected it like that?
And he said he had no interest in their Hongyun Building?
Wu Xinxin’s delicate face rapidly shifted through expressions, feeling like she had offered her treasure to someone who disdained it entirely. Having been pampered from a young age, Wu Xinxin had never encountered such words before.
In a moment, she was nearly driven to a rage out of humiliation. If the person before her had been any other man, Wu Xinxin would have already stepped forward to embarrass him severely.
But since the man who spoke was Gu Ya, her Gu Brother, Wu Xinxin had to swallow her pride. Su Yunjin watched as Wu Xinxin’s face instantly changed with various expressions.
Furious yet trying to maintain a demure and graceful composure, the sight appeared as ludicrous as could be.
Her angry face finally turned into one of aggrievement.
With a pitiful look that could evoke sympathy, she said,
“Gu Brother, Xinxin is only thinking of your best interest.”
