Chapter 753 - 747: Seeing Du Wanqing
Mostly, they were criticizing Second Master Jie for being blind, for not recognizing true gold and jade and instead cherishing a worthless stone in a dung heap. Now, realizing what he had lost, he finally appreciated its value, but sadly it was already too late.
When Second Master Jie’s servant heard those remarks, he became displeased and couldn’t help wanting to argue with those outspoken people.
For his part, Second Master Jie didn’t care in the slightest. Leaving behind the servant who was in the midst of the dispute with everyone else, he entered the great doors of Manxiu Building by himself.
The clerks and embroiderers at Manxiu Building had all come to recognize Second Master Jie. From the moment he stepped through the doors, they quickly sent someone to notify Miss Du.
Today, Miss Du was busy studying Gu Youyou’s new designs, so she responded with a hum to the messenger and said no more.
The woman who went to notify Miss Du didn’t know if that hum meant to meet or not to meet, so she had no choice but to brace herself and go out, leading Second Master Jie to a private reception room, where she said, "Our miss is currently busy examining Miss Gu’s drawings. It’s not convenient for her to see you now. Would you like to come back another day?"
On ordinary days, Miss Du wasn’t like other ruthless lovers who would avoid seeing him. Whenever he came and wanted to see her, she treated him as a regular visiting guest, meeting him if it were appropriate, being properly polite, but with a sense of distance.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it appeared that Miss Du had truly let go, not avoiding him, not hating him, just treating him like anyone else. The courtesy and distance in her eyes were the best testament to that.
But Second Master Jie didn’t see it that way. As long as she was willing to see him, he would come.
Of course, he had made up his mind. Even if she refused to see him, he would still come.
