章 31: Chapter 29: Wrath_1

Gu Chen looked around and noticed that his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, was not there; he then asked, "Where is Second Uncle? Why isn't he at home?"

When Xu Qinge saw that it was Gu Chen who had returned, she quickly pinched her daughter Gu Qingyan's hand, signaling her to calm her emotions, and to make sure that nothing was revealed to Gu Chen.

Afterward, Xu Qinge forced a smile onto her face and said, "Your Second Uncle had something to do today; he's out drinking with his colleagues. He mentioned that he might be assigned a task and won't be returning for a few days."

Xu Qinge was determined not to let Gu Chen know about this matter; she decided to keep it from him for as long as possible, not wanting Gu Chen to get involved in this messy situation.

"Eldest Young Master, why didn't you notify us in advance of your return? I would have had the kitchen prepare some good dishes."
