Chapter 31 Unwilling
Mingming knows Gu Junming has no feelings for her, yet she shamelessly tags along to attend his grandfather’s birthday party. If people found out, they would surely laugh at her! She held back her tears several times.
Bai Chuan was also suppressing his anger, his fists tightly clenched under the table. This brat dared to humiliate the Bai Family like this! His several attempts to form an alliance were rejected by Gu Junming, and he couldn’t even secure a marriage for his granddaughter. Bai Chuan has completely given up on Gu Junming.
Because of this incident, Bai Fanglan stopped speaking. Except for Gu Juntao, everyone else knew about Bai Fanglan’s feelings for Gu Junming, but Gu Junming laid it bare without a trace of subtleness, making things awkward and the atmosphere palpably tense.
After eating for a while, Gu Junming put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Grandfather, I need to head back to X City. I only took a six-hour leave this time, so I have to go now."
"Alright, your work is important. Go ahead."
Gu Junming bid everyone a simple farewell and then left.
Bai Chuan also sat for a little longer before directly taking his leave, and naturally, the Gu Family warmly saw him off.
Once everyone had departed, Gu Dongfang returned to her room to rest.
Wang Guihua had the maid clean up the table, sighed, and said, "Even if he doesn’t like her, he shouldn’t reject her like this. A girl’s self-esteem gets hurt!"
