Gu Shuxue's expression froze, her anger bubbling beneath the surface, yet constrained by the demands of propriety.
Butler Liu introduced Gu Zhaoming to Gu Shuxue. "Miss Shuxue, allow me to present your eldest master, Mr. Gu Zhaoming."
Gu Shuxue managed a strained smile, her thoughts seething beneath the facade. "Ah, Eldest Uncle. My apologies for the misunderstanding earlier. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Being the elder, Gu Zhaoming refrained from engaging in any conflict with his younger relative.
"And will you, Sister Shuxue, still consider us nouveau riche and wish to oust us?" inquired Gu Yang, her features adopting an expression of innocence and vulnerability.
Observing the tender-hearted display of Gu Yang, Butler Liu's heart went out to her. The sight of the young lady, so obedient and fragile, stirred a sense of compassion within him.
