Capítulo 1830: Chapter 2252: Honor
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll just touch up my makeup before I go in,” Ye Ranran said calmly.
This kind of embarrassing thing, like makeup smudging, is very common in the sumr, because sweat just pours out like it’s free.
Having been through so much, Ye Ranran had long mastered an impeccable touch-up technique, getting it done within ten minutes.
However, with ten minutes spent walking and another ten minutes touching up, by the ti Ye Ranran pushed open the door to the private room, it was already twenty minutes later.
“Sorry, I’m late.” The sa line as when I just ca in.
This ti, Mr. Gu didn’t dare to say he didn’t know her. However, he wasn’t overly friendly either. He lifted his eyes coolly and said, “Mada Jun?”
“That’s right, it’s , Ye Ranran,” Ye Ranran replied with a charming smile, “I’ve long heard of Mr. Gu’s great na, and it’s my honor to finally et you today.”
The incident just now was treated as if it hadn’t happened, neither of them ntioned it.
Smart people know what to say and what not to say.
After a little light chat about various things, Mr. Gu sighed, “My disappointing grandson has caused you trouble. I hope you, Mada, won’t hold it against him.”
“Oh? What trouble has he caused? Your grandson has always been great. I’ve heard he’s been guarding the border, repelling multiple invasions,” Ye Ranran said leisurely, taking a sip of tea.
“It’s just about his lifelong matter. He set his sights on soone he shouldn’t have. I’ve told him, the person has passed away, no matter how persistent he is, there’s nothing that can be done, but he’s too foolish.”
“To tell you the truth, he’s never liked anyone else since he was a kid, just this one person, which is why he did so things he shouldn’t have. For the sake of his sincerity, I hope Mada won’t hold it against him. My main reason for applying to co back this ti is to take him back and let him reflect on his actions.”
Forgive? Reflect on his actions? Is this matter just going to end like this? He thinks she is foolish or what.
“I understand the general’s love for his son, but he abused his power, engaged in malpractice, broke the law, caused deaths, resulting in losses to the country and the people. This is not sothing that can be resolved simply with the word ‘forgive’.”
Mr. Gu was shocked: “How could it be? My grandson would never do such things.”
He beca particularly agitated, slapping the table and standing up.
“Whether he did such things, wouldn’t checking this make it clear?” Ye Ranran took out so docunts.
On them were the detailed allegations against Gu Heng, with a clear listing of tis and places, all presented in a thoroughly organized manner.
Mr. Gu began to doubt again whether Gu Heng had not been truthful with him, but soon, he denied it.
Absolutely not, Gu Heng even told him about Song Yue. If he had really done those things, there was no reason not to tell him.
As his thoughts turned, Mr. Gu quickly understood; this was a setup, a very blatant one.
“There is surely a misunderstanding among these. I need to verify it. Mada, please give ti.”
Ye Ranran set down her teacup heavily: “What do you an by that? Are you saying I am slandering Gu Heng?”
“Mada, calm down. I absolutely do not an that, but I’m just worried you might be used by soone with ulterior motives,” Mr. Gu said very calmly, but the underlying nace in his presence grew even stronger.
A lifeti spent on the battlefield, even in old age, still gave him an aura of distance, making people hesitant to approach easily.
