Bab 661: It's Not Your Turn to Teach My Daughter

Ye Qingzi seethed with indignation, her face flushing crimson with anger. "Indeed, there's no need to retract your generosity," she retorted, her words laced with bitterness.

Gu Jin's remark insinuated as though Gu Yang found the gift distasteful and was rejecting it out of disdain—an implication that only stoked Ye Qingzi's fury further.

Did no one in Jin City perceive Gu Yang's address as a slight?

Suppressing her ire, Ye Qingzi glanced towards Xiao Yize, seeking solace or support, but found him wholly engrossed in Gu Jin, a subtle smile gracing his lips. He didn't spare her a second glance.

Feeling unjustly treated and utterly alone, Ye Qingzi struggled to contain her emotions.

However, to her surprise, Gu Yang had no intention of accepting the gift. Taking hold of Gu Jin's arm, she shook her head. "But there's only one gift. It wouldn't be fair for my sister and me to share it. Auntie Ye, please keep it for yourself."
