"It does look like it, especially these prominent ears," the Qin Family patriarch somewhat believed.
"If it looks like it, just say so. Why mention my prominent ears?" Old Master Gu huffed with a mixture of pride and coyness. "Can you let your daughter come out to meet me now?"
"No, I cannot."
Still, the Qin Family patriarch gave a resolute negative answer.
"Why not? I'm here to repay a kindness! I have no ill intentions!"
Old Master Gu was puzzled, he had made himself clear. Why was this old man still so stubborn?
"My daughter does not need your repayment! To help others is to expect nothing in return! If you are truly grateful for what my daughter has done for you, all you need to do is forget this matter, not mention it to others, and protect her from criticism," the Qin Family patriarch replied.
"Do you know who I am? You're rejecting me so outright!" Old Master Gu's temper flared up again.
