If You Don't Want People to Know, Don't Do It

Gu Hongkang came with an angry expression, but the moment he saw Wei Yuantong, he immediately restrained himself.

"Elder Wei, you came from afar, and I apologize for not welcoming you properly! I wonder if it was my servants who offended you to the extent that you won't even enter the Gu family gate?"

As soon as he spoke, he shifted the blame onto the Gu family's servants.

Wei Yuantong shook his head. "It has nothing to do with them; it's my own issue."

Gu Hongkang's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean, Elder Wei?"

I've got some personal matters I need to sort out. When I have any lingering resentment, it affects my ability to treat someone properly. I hope you can appreciate that, Elder Gu.

"So, it's because of some negligence on my part that has upset you?" Gu Hongkang understood the situation but acted as if he didn't.
