章節 225: Chapter 217: Xia Lin is Too Ashamed to Show Up

Yang Pinggui, seeing that no one from the Gao Family had come over for a while, stopped waiting and said to Lu Jingqiu, "Qiuqiu, follow me to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, there's no need to deliberately wait around."

"Uncle can rest assured, I know what to do. I'll go find Uncle at the cafeteria at noon."

"Good, just lock the door from the inside when you leave the house; don't mind your second cousin, he left early this morning."

"Mhm."

Having sent Uncle away, Lu Jingqiu went about cleaning the house as if nothing was amiss.

Just as she was about to head to the study to paint, the doorbell rang.

Peering through the door crack, she saw it was Gao Shu, his face sporting a bruise—clearly, he'd had a tough time with the second cousin.

Seeing him alone, Lu Jingqiu had no intention of opening the door.

Gao Shu must have heard some noise because he said, "Jingqiu, I know you're home. Yesterday, it was Xia Lin who was in the wrong; I've come to apologize on her behalf."
