"He actually closed all the doors to our town lord's mansion in secret, and then caught me in his study like a thief, asking me how my illness was cured? Not only is he not happy at all, he seems to be interrogating me like a criminal. I … I was almost angered to death by him! "
Gu Huan recalled her father's reaction when he heard that her disease had been cured, and she still couldn't understand it.
I also told him that you saved me twice, and that he must make a grand feast to receive and thank you, the benefactor of the Gu family. But he actually refused, and even said that he would keep a low profile and thank you.
In fact, not revealing this matter was very consistent with Faang Cheng's personality. He originally didn't like living a high-profile life, but Gu Zhen's words made him feel a little uncomfortable. He only felt that he had the ability to save Gu Huan from illness, which was a good thing. However, the feeling that Steward Gu gave off … It was as if he had deliberately saved Gu Huan and had a request for the Gu family!
Thus, it was no wonder that the upright Gu Huan would be so angry at his father.
Thankfully, Faang Cheng only saved Gu Huan to save Gu Huan, so he didn't care too much about Gu Zhen's attitude. If he thanked him, he could still bear it, but not … He didn't force it.
Thus, he smiled as he patted Gu Huan's shoulders to console her.
"As the mayor, the things that he is considering must be different from us, maybe... He might have his own thoughts, but don't be mad at your father! "
"So what if he is the lord? Wasn't he a normal person? Other people's child's illness had been cured, so their parents would be so happy that they would forget about it. They would like to announce it to the whole world! But what did he tell me? He told me not to tell anyone else, to pretend that I'm still weak when I'm outside, Big Brother Faang … What do you think my dad is up to? "
When Gu Huan said this, Faang Cheng suddenly felt that something was off about this matter.
"Are you saying … Your father won't let you say that you've been cured? "
He put away the mocking smile on his face and looked at Gu Huan, who was standing in front of him, as he asked.
"Yeah, if we don't let Zhang Yang go, we have to keep it a secret. Why is that so?" Previously, when I was sick, he was so anxious that he wanted to give his life to me. However, now that my illness has been cured, I didn't see how he was happy. "On the contrary, there is an expression of worry on his face. I really don't understand it!"
Gu Huan couldn't wrap her head around it. She had always felt happy when she was unhappy. If her father said he was happy, then it meant he was unhappy. What in the world was going on?!
When Faang Cheng heard Gu Huan's words, he suddenly felt as if he had figured something out. The things he did not understand before seemed to have an answer. Faang Cheng had been wondering why Gu Huan's spiritual energy was constantly being suppressed. The spiritual energy that Mirror Master had saved from Gu Huan had always been tightly locking the spiritual energy in her dantian. Previously, he had thought that the mirror master's spiritual energy was protecting Gu Huan's spiritual energy, but now … According to Gu Zhen Zhen's performance, Faang Cheng thought that the matter was... It didn't seem like that!
Faang Cheng thought back to what the Battalion Commander had said before. He and the Town Lord were afraid that their relationship would arouse suspicion and suspicion from the Mirror Master, so they kept their distance. In that case, they … It was also possible that she didn't choose to keep a distance, or it could be said that … Maybe they were threatened? With the lives of the people they felt were closest.
Gu Huan talked for a long time. When she realized that Faang Cheng didn't have any reaction, she raised her head and looked at him.
"Big Brother Faang, what are you thinking about with a serious face? That... I don't know what's wrong with my father, but you don't have to care about him. His thoughts are different from ours when he's old, I … He doesn't thank you, but I do thank you very much! To me, you are my reborn parents! My life has changed because of you, I … "
"Take me to see the lord!"
Before Gu Huan could finish thanking him, she was interrupted by Faang Cheng.
"Huh?"
He couldn't react.
"I said, I want to see your father!"
Faang Cheng repeated himself.
"This... Big Brother Faang, don't follow me … "Don't bother with the old people, ignore him, thank you, thank you all your life, from today onwards, you are my big brother, dear big brother, as long as you have anything to say, just say it, I will do whatever you want, I will not hesitate to do whatever you want, I will go up the mountain of swords …"
"Cut the crap, I want to see the lord, now!"
Faang Cheng raised his voice to an octave and interrupted Gu Huan's words. Gu Huan was stunned, and a trace of a difficult to understand expression appeared on her face.
"Brother, you …." Why are you panicking? He usually had a pretty good personality! Didn't I already say that you shouldn't lower yourself to the same level as that old man, I … "
"Don't talk rubbish, I have business with your father, take me quickly!"
Faang Cheng gritted his teeth. This Gu Huan … Why was he so long-winded at such a young age?
"Business?"
Gu Huan was stunned.
"You … What business do you have with that old man? "
"Quick, bring him, I, go!"
Seeing that Faang Cheng's eyes were about to burn, Gu Huan hastily nodded her head.
"Alright, alright, alright... I'll bring you there right now! "
Gu Huan immediately stood up.
"This temper …" And you're angry! "
Gu Huan brought Faang Cheng and Yu Yien back to the town lord's mansion. The moment they entered, he shouted at his housekeeper.
"Old Gu, where's my father?"
"Oh, the young master is back!"
The butler who was called Old Gu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Faang Cheng and Yu Yien behind Gu Huan. A trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes. Faang Cheng and Yu Yien caught him red-handed.
"The Lord is in his study room discussing something with his aides. Young master …" What can I do for the mayor? "
Butler Gu inquired.
"Study room? "Sure, then I'll go find him!"
Gu Huan didn't respond to the butler's words. Instead, she brought Faang Cheng and Yu Yien to the study room to look for her father. However, Steward Gu quickly stepped forward to stop them!
"Young Master, the Lord is discussing important matters and specifically instructed us not to let anyone disturb him!"
"Outsider? Am I an outsider? "When did my dad ever sit in the study with his staff? I came and went as I pleased."
With just a glance, Gu Huan could tell that she was a spoiled, simple-minded, and crazy little flower from a greenhouse.
"Young master, you …"
Steward Gu could only point out the existence of Faang Cheng and Yu Yien.
"Oh, these two!"
Only then did Gu Huan react. She hurriedly introduced Faang Cheng and Yu Yien to Steward Gu.
"This Faang Cheng, Big Brother Faang, is the savior who saved me twice. To me, this is the equivalent of rebirth of a parent. Since I have already accepted him as my elder brother, he can no longer be considered an outsider. And since this Brother Yu is Big Brother Faang's brother, he is also my brother!"
The words that Gu Huan left behind did not attract Steward Gu's attention. Instead, the words "benefactor who saved his life" had successfully attracted Steward Gu's gaze. He looked Faang Cheng up and down from head to toe and carefully observed him. In his eyes … It was full of questions!
"Oh, thank you, Mr Faang, for saving my young master. Although I am just the steward of the Town Hall, I am still a person who saw young master grow up. But … The study is an important place to my master, you … I really can't go. "
Steward Gu's words were polite and sincere, making him a good steward of a great family.
Steward Gu is too serious! "But …"
Faang Cheng had a faint smile on his face.
"The matter that Master Gu is currently considering … Perhaps I can help? "
He spoke in a leisurely manner, neither light nor heavy.
