Chapter 14 The So-called "Thick Skinned"

"I'm going to pack up my things and leave now. Can you make way for me?"

The sweet and evil smile on Gu Qingyan's face faded a lot. Although her tone was relaxed, Gu Yaoguo and Jiang Manru's hearts sank when they heard this.

Because of Jiang Manru's excessive anger, she had asked the servants to collect and throw all the things in the room where Gu Qingyan used to live this afternoon.

As for those precious things, Jiang Manru had also dealt with them all. For those who should be sent, those who should be donated, and Gu Qingyan's bedroom was now cleaner than her face.

"What's wrong? Can't I go upstairs and pack up my things? Although they are worthless, they are memorable for me. I'm not very willing to throw them away."

After saying that, Gu Qingyan seemed to be a little shy. Gu Qingyan reached out her hand and rubbed her hair, looking like an innocent and obedient girl.

But how could Jiang Manru not understand the malice in Gu Qingyan's eyes?

Jiang Manru glanced at the butler and saw the butler nodding slightly. Jiang Manru was surer that the topic was deliberately brought up by Gu Qingyan.

According to Jiang Manru's requirements, the butler should have told Gu Qingyan that her room had been emptied. Now that Gu Qingyan brought up this topic again, there was only one possibility.

Thinking of this, Jiang Manru couldn't help but take a look at Si Cenyue.

"Your room is being renovated, so many things have been moved aside. By that time, I'll replace them all with new ones for you."

A perfect excuse quickly came up in Jiang Manru's mind. The smile on Jiang Manru's face was very decent, and it seemed that Jiang Manru didn't mean to mistreat Gu Qingyan at all.

"As for the old things you used to have, they are really old. I packed them in the suitcase and asked the butler to send them back to your hometown in the countryside."

"Isn't the house over there reserved for you? At least these things can be safely stored when sent back. It's really useless to keep them here."

Gu Qingyan didn't expect that Jiang Manru could come up with such a perfect excuse in such a short time. To be honest, Gu Qingyan even admired Jiang Manru.

If there was not such a deep gap between Jiang Manru and Gu Qingyan, she would have Jiang Manru as her friend on the way to lie.

"Oh, I see. What a pity..."

Seeing that Gu Qingyan seemed to be planning to let this topic go, Jiang Manru breathed a sigh of relief and her expression became a little more relaxed.

"But I heard from the butler that you have thrown my stuff into the trash can."

Immediately after, Gu Qingyan blurted out a sentence that made Jiang Manru, who had been relaxed, tense up again.

Jiang Manru frowned slightly and cleared her throat, only to find that her voice was still very hoarse.

"What did you say? I don't understand..."

"Butler has told me just now that you have cleaned up all my things. The old ones have been thrown into the trash can, and I don't know how to deal with the new ones.

But now, you tell me that you have sent my old things back to the countryside. Should I believe you or butler?"

Jiang Manru felt that the time seemed to go back to ten minutes ago. Jiang Manru became embarrassed when Gu Qingyan pressed her. And now Jiang Manru didn't know how to answer the question Gu Qingyan ask.

"I didn't expect to publicize how kind and gentle Mrs. Gu was. How could you treat your adopted daughter like this?"

Si Cenyue, who was sitting on the sofa, said slowly. He looked confused as if he had no intention of making trouble.

But Si Cenyue came with Gu Qingyan, and Jiang Manru was sure that Si Cenyue was trying to back up Gu Qingyan.

"I didn't do that. Why should I do something harmful to others but not to myself?"

Jiang Manru's words were stiff, and Gu Qingyan knew that Jiang Manru was lying.

After all, throwing away Gu Qingyan's things can't be regarded as harming others and not oneself. Jiang Manru must be very happy to throw away all Gu Qingyan's things.

"That is to say, Mrs. Gu, you don't want to sweep Yanyan out of the house, do you?"

Seeing that Gu Qingyan was having a good time, Si Cenyue's heart started to stir.

He looked up at Jiang Manru, who was standing there stiffly, and then he asked curiously.

"Then I'm very curious. How could the butler dare to lie against the will of the host? Mrs. Gu, you are so careless about the discipline of these servants that they dare to be unscrupulous on such things."

After saying this, Gu Qingyan and Si Cenyue's eyes fell to the side, the butler who thought he was safe and sound.

Butler's feet were weak and his back was covered with cold sweat.

Butler didn't expect that the war would spread to him again in the end. If the butler had known it, the butler would not have been so disrespectful to Gu Qingyan at the beginning.

"Butler treated the adopted daughter of his host family rudely and impolitely. I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing in the Gu family."

Seeing that Si Cenyue said these words in a powerful manner, Gu Qingyan kept her mouth shut and stood aside to watch Si Cenyue perform.

Gu Qingyan could see that Si Cenyue was not that kind of indifferent, so as a partner, of course, Gu Qingyan was willing to cooperate with Si Cenyue to play with these mice under their claws.

"Don't worry. We will definitely punish him."

Jiang Manru was too angry to speak.

Gu Yaoguo, who was sitting aside, saw this scene, he was no longer as indifferent as before. Instead, he stood up and took a deep breath. With a polite but distant smile on Gu Yaoguo's face, he looked very kind to mediate the dispute.

"What kind of punishment is it? It's the twenty-first century now. There can't be corporal punishment that violates human rights!"

Of course, Gu Yaoguo didn't know how to punish the loyal butler, because he didn't want to punish the butler at all.

Guo Yaoguo just wanted to say something nice to ease the embarrassment, and then he would make a fool of it.

However, Si Cenyue was too serious and it put him in a dilemma.

"How about this? I'll take him away and teach him well. How about sending him to Mr. and Mrs. Gu in two days?"

"No need!"

Jiang Manru, who couldn't completely suppress the anger in her heart, took a deep breath with a stiff smile on her face.

"Our family will deal with this matter by ourselves. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave it to the Si family. Young master, I think you don't want others to say that you interfere in the private affairs of the Gu family, do you?"

"Okay, okay. In that case, we won't force you."
