Chapter 733: A Daughter Should Be Like An Yiqing (5)
"Brother Gu, Brother An, I’m really sorry! You know how the traffic is in Xuandu City, there was a jam on the road, hence my late arrival! I truly apologize!" Guh Tian said with a beaming smile, his round face looking endearingly naive. If not for the fact that both the Gu Family and An Family knew exactly what kind of person he was, they might actually have been fooled by Guh Tian’s jubilant appearance.
Upon hearing Guh Tian’s words, Old Master Gu snorted coldly in his heart, thinking the man was still too green to play Tai Chi with him.
"Younger Brother Guh, what are you saying? You’re being too formal. Just by coming, you’ve given me the greatest respect! Everyone knows about the traffic in Xuandu City, hence normally, people make sure to account for that ahead of time. Younger Brother Guh, one can’t blame what one doesn’t know, ignorance is no fault!"
In his speech, Old Master Gu used words that both carried a gun and wielded a club, implicitly chiding Guh Tian not just for lacking intelligence but for ignorance as well.
Guh Tian, however, could only swallow the bitter pill and found himself unable to argue back.
Was he expected to argue that he was intelligent and not ignorant? If that were the case, why didn’t he arrive earlier? Was it deliberate?
Therefore, Guh Tian could only swallow his resentment and forced out a strained smile, placatingly parroting, "Brother Gu is right, Brother Gu is right! I really shouldn’t have, I deserve a beating!"
"Hey! Let’s not talk about such inauspicious things on this joyous occasion. Take a seat, the engagement ceremony is about to begin!" Old Master Gu waved his hand, unwilling to engage in a war of words with Guh Tian any longer.
Under the gaze of everyone present, Guh Tian and Guh Siqi took their seats as the clock struck nine.
Aside from the Qin Family and those delayed like Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi, everyone was present!
