Chapter 17 Unreasonable
Upon hearing Mr. Gu’s words on the other end of the phone, Ji Yu felt utterly conflicted.
Resolving the issues within the Feng family wasn’t easy, especially with Gu Qixiao’s unyielding attitude.
If the Gu family refused to relent, the problems with the Feng family would only become harder to tackle; many matters required careful planning.
Still, the thought that Mr. Gu might know something stirred Ji Yu’s emotions into disarray once more.
Feng Qinqin observed Ji Yu’s torn expression and intentionally spoke near Ji Yu’s phone, pretending it was casual, ensuring Mr. Gu could hear her voice.
"Yuyu~"
Looking at Feng Qinqin’s antics, Ji Yu gave a helpless smile and was prepared to decline Mr. Gu’s invitation.
But just as she was about to speak and refuse, Mr. Gu seemed to anticipate her intention and turned the tables.
"That girl from the Feng family is beside you, isn’t she? Why don’t both of you come to the house for dinner? Otherwise, I’ll be stuck here as a lonely old man eating a tableful of dishes by myself."
Ji Yu, who had originally planned to refuse, suddenly found herself at a loss for words due to Mr. Gu’s few sentences. Lucky for her, Feng Qinqin was quick-witted.
Hearing Mr. Gu’s proactive invitation, anyone could tell the appropriate response was clear as day.
