Chapter 280 - 141: Refusal
How could he not mind? Shi Fengju’s brows unconsciously furrowed lightly, and instead of answering, he asked with a smile, "Why does Mother suddenly bring this up? You’ve never interfered with this matter before."
"It’s because I worry about you!" Mrs. Wang glared at him and said, "You don’t know how to take care of yourself, how can I not worry! Alright, you should also go back and get some rest!"
"Mother," Shi Fengju spoke earnestly, "let the cousin continue to mourn in peace. She doesn’t need to help with these matters."
Gu Fangzi’s expression changed slightly, the smile on her lips stiffening: He actually refused! It was Aunt who suggested this, and yet he refused as well!
Apart from sadness, Gu Fangzi felt an indescribable sourness in her heart: Does he hate her so much, not wanting to be with her? Aunt’s words aren’t even effective anymore!
Men oh men, they are indeed untrustworthy and unreliable. He used to be so good to her, compliant and pampering, but now, in such a short time, everything has changed completely!
How can she accept this? She won’t accept or relent.
"Second Brother, Fangzi is truly well-intentioned, how can you speak like that!" Shi Yumei said with a smile, "I understand now, you must be afraid that it would affect Fangzi’s mourning and tarnish her reputation, right? Rest assured, mourning doesn’t require one to kneel before the altar all day, and it doesn’t conflict! Besides, Uncle also means for her to properly show her gratitude to the Shi family, and helping you is following her father’s orders! You can rest easy!"
"Big Sister," Shi Fengju spoke indifferently, "it’s really not necessary, I can handle it myself." Unwillingly, Shi Fengju thought of Sang Wan. If Sang Wan had not fought with him, she would surely help him with some of the accounting, right? Unfortunately, that day she got annoyed with him and returned all of the account books to him.
"What, Second Brother, are you afraid someone will get jealous?" Shi Yumei’s face turned cold with a touch of irritation.
