Chapter 1954: Chapter 1954: Gan Ruiâs Breakdown
Shu Yu raised his head, âWhat do you mean by that?â
Gan Rui sighed, âTo tell the truth, the county magistrate might not know, ever since that incident with the Chen Family, Chen Qiu has been hovering around me.â
Shu Yu remembered what he said earlier, that Chen Qiu initially set her sights on Gan Rui, but later shifted her focus directly onto Xun Sheng.
âWhy, is she not over you?â
âItâs not that sheâs not over me, itâs that sheâs not over Brother Xun.â Gan Rui clicked his tongue, shook his head, and said, âThe Chen Family doesnât even have a home now, Chen Qiu is staying at the Pan Familyâs place, relying on others. The Pan Family was implicated because of the Chen Familyâs troubles, they despise the siblings, Chen He and her. Their days at the Pan Family are not hard to imagine.â
Chen He could care less; heâs given up entirely, and however the Pan Family treats him doesnât matter. Heâs thick-skinned enough to just freeload there.
As for how he is now, the Pan Family wonât be able to tolerate it for long.
Chen Qiu, however, is different; sheâs still a young maiden, and nowadays people are always harsher on women than men.
Given Chen Qiuâs situation, families with any semblance of reputation in Changjin Prefecture wouldnât dare to marry her.
Especially in the Pan Family, no one would even consider planning her future. Continuing like this, she has no prospects. Chen Qiu has no choice, thinking over and over, her only lifeline being Xun Sheng.
âBut Brother Xun left Changjin Prefecture to return home three days after the case was concluded, so she obviously couldnât find him. When she couldnât find Ah Sheng, she came to the Gan Family to look for me, acting all deep in love with Ah Sheng, pestering me to reveal Ah Shengâs address. How could I possibly tell her?â
Not only did he refuse, but he also informed everyone else who knows Xun Shengâs address to not tell Chen Qiu.
Fortunately, Chen Qiu doesnât know anyone else; she only knows Gan Rui, who is closest to Xun Sheng.
Gan Rui was very annoyed; going out, encountering her three days out of two.
When he was hanging out with friends, Chen Qiu stood not far away, gazing at him with resentment. While he was dining at the tavern, she cowered at the door, sadly staring at him.
When he went to the academy to study, she waited on the path he had to take.
Gan Rui was truly sickened by her, sent a house servant to drive her away, she ran off, then reappeared later.
âItâs like a haunting ghost.â
Shu Yu laughed, âHavenât you thought about going to the Pan Family?â
âI have,â Gan Rui was extremely annoyed, âBut Eldest Pan wonât come out to meet me; he sent out his daughter-in-law, saying they couldnât do anything, Chen Qiu is already a teenager, she has legs on her own. The Pan Family isnât a bunch of ruffians, how could they tie her up to stop her from leaving? Oh, I was so angry I almost spat blood, no wonder the Pan Family raised such a daughter; the whole familyâs got the same demeanor.â
Gan Rui was really furious; his family ran a wine business, with a deep pocket.
Fine, if the Pan Family wonât restrain Chen Qiu, then donât blame him for being impolite.
He used his familyâs influence to interfere with the Pan Familyâs business, but the Pan Family only has two shops and, due to the previous lawsuit, their business has been dwindling, so Gan Ruiâs move was not very effective.
However, the very next day, Chen Qiu was kneeling before Gan Rui, crying and begging him to spare the Pan Family.
Gan Rui nearly keeled over; he was truly at a loss when faced with the shameless Chen Qiu.
âFor people like this, Iâd suggest fists over words.â Shu Yu is the type who resorts to physical action rather than talk whenever possible.
Gan Rui almost broke into tears, âI wish I could, but if I start a fight, Iâm even more worried sheâd extort me.â Itâs not as if he could just kill her.
