836: Chapter 836: The Woman Who Was Thrown Away Five Years Ago (2)
“Guh Siyi is back?
What does that have to do with Old Master Bai?” An Yiqing’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling that Guh Siyi’s return at this particular ti wasn’t quite right.
“Originally, it had nothing to do with him, but a few days ago, Guh Siyi made a few remarks, and just like that, things changed.” An Zhihang gave a sardonic smile, “Guh Siyi had only returned ho for a few days and already started to stir the waters.
Today she hosts a tea party, tomorrow a banquet, plunging Xuandu City into chaos once again.
A few days ago, she invited a bunch of chatty rich wives over for beauty treatnts and uttered a nonsensical sentence that infuriated Old Master Bai.”
“What did she say?” An Yiqing had a bad feeling about this; she always sensed that this Guh family’s eldest miss would be another character to contend with.
“Huh, Miss Guh said that of the Xuandu Five Great Families, only two were truly deserving of their nas.
The other three simply didn’t asure up, were ordinary folk, and were just muddying the waters.” An Zhihang removed his glasses deliberately, gracefully pulling out a silk handkerchief to gently wipe them.
His tone was cool, and his lowered eyes flashed with cold light.
“Muddying the waters?” An Yiqing blinked, then laughed with her hand over her mouth, “This Miss Guh really has so guts to offend everyone with such a statent.
Seems like she’s pretty confident about her own family’s strength.”
“Confident?
I think it’s more like arrogance,” An Zhiyan scoffed from the side.
“Having not returned to Xuandu City for five years, she nearly believed the moon was rounder overseas.
As for the current situation in Xuandu City, this Miss Guh still thinks it’s five years ago.
This girl cos back and hangs out with a bunch of rich wives every day, a group of won who do nothing but shop and get beauty treatnts; what could she possibly learn from them?”
An Yiqing nodded thoughtfully, not quite understanding Guh Siyi’s reasoning.
She worried—were they all taking things too simply, or was Guh Siyi really foolish to do sothing that would anger the public?
“But maybe it’s for the best.
Let her be foolish.
With just an offhand remark, she had those wealthy wives talking their heads off.
Old Master Bai’s birthday is just around the corner, and he was happily prepping for his celebration.
Hearing such an aggravating statent, how could he feel at ease?
Although the Bai family isn’t an Ancient Martial Arts Family, they’ve always been on good terms with the Gu Family.
Now, with Guh Siyi’s words, it’s as if the Bai Family is currying favor with the Gu Family.
If it were , I would be angry too.” An Zhiyan’s eyes held a trace of schadenfreude.
He paused, glancing at Gu Yelin who was talking with Bai Yiming in the distance, and added playfully, “Lao San had so moves back in the day, directly kicking out Guh Siyi.
Little sister, be careful.
This ti Guh Siyi has returned, and if the title of ‘First Miss of Xuandu City’ is stolen from you, and the man you like becos yours, if she doesn’t hate you for it, I’ll jump off the roof of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals.”
An Yiqing twitched the corner of her mouth, a vein throbbing on her forehead, “Second brother, give it a rest.
Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals still wants to do business.
If you want to jump off a building, choose sowhere else, will you?”
An Zhiyan chuckled, his normally icy face softening quite a bit, “Seriously, little sister, be careful.
Guh Siyi isn’t an ordinary person; she was even called a martial arts genius back in the day in Xuandu City.”
“Don’t worry, second brother, I know what I’m doing,” An Yiqing responded coolly, “If she doesn’t provoke , everything’s fine.
But if she insists on looking for trouble, she can’t bla
for what happens.”
While they spoke, guests continued to arrive one after another, making the villa livelier.
Right at that mont, mbers of the An and Gu families walked in together.
“Bai boy, where’s your old man?
It’s his birthday today, how co he’s not co down yet?” Old Master Gu’s hearty voice carried through the entrance of the villa.
