Chapter 738 - 738 738 Becoming Petty (5)_1

738: Chapter 738: Becoming Petty (5)_1 738: Chapter 738: Becoming Petty (5)_1 Sanni was suddenly dumbfounded.

How dimwitted could this plump girl be?

Still acting coquettish?

She couldn’t help but look at Gu Qingheng and, inexplicably, felt some sympathy for her brother-in-law.

How did he always get himself involved with such people?

Gu Qingheng’s brow furrowed again, “If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Li Cuicui shrank back at once, but she was still unwilling to give up, “Young Master Gu, I…

Ah…” She hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly she felt a cold light flying towards her.

She screamed in terror, instinctively ducking her head, and then felt something light on her head before realizing something had fallen off, prompting her to let out a miserable cry.

Gu Qingheng had flung a knife, skillfully slicing off the hair bun on top of Li Cuicui’s head, hugging the scalp and revealing a shiny bald spot.

“Miss…” Several maidservants were terrified and quickly rushed over to support Li Cuicui, whose hair was now disheveled, “Miss, are you alright?”

Li Cuicui looked at the hair bun Meihong had picked up, which still had two silver hairpins stuck in it.

She touched the smooth, bald spot on top of her head, not sure if she was scared, worried, or ashamed.

She glanced at Meihong, then at Gu Qingheng, who had an icy expression, and then suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted.

Sanni was flabbergasted too.

Her brother-in-law and older sister were indeed a perfect match—always quick to act without wasting words.

It seemed she still had a long way to go and needed to work harder.

The maidservants, seeing their mistress had fainted, didn’t dare to stay any longer.

They quickly called the waiting coachman inside and, with much effort, lifted Li Cuicui, who was as heavy as a pig, onto the carriage, and then scurried away.

As to whether they would go back to complain and seek revenge later, that remained unknown.

However, Gu Qingheng didn’t care what they might do next.

What he was more concerned about was whether Ruxin, once she returned, would be angry with him because of this incident.

Yang Ruxin, who Gu Qingheng was worried about, had already cheerfully left the gate of the Dong Family’s separate residence.

She didn’t hurry home but instead visited the Fang Family first.

She checked on Fang Tianze, who seemed to have more energy now, and even had a lavish lunch there.

She left under Tianze’s reluctant gaze, then went to see Qian Er.

She shared her idea of opening a general store in that large shop and told him she would return for the blueprints in a few days, after which construction could begin.

Qian Er naturally didn’t dare to neglect her request.

With that settled, Yang Ruxin thought about visiting the farm outside the city again.

Last time, she had only checked the overall situation without interacting with the people there.

Today, having some free time and needing to pass by on her way back to Lianhua Town, she decided it was a good opportunity.

Gu Yao could drive the carriage, so after saying goodbye to Qian Er, they headed out of the city.

But just outside the city gate, not far away, they saw someone walking by the roadside with a very familiar back.

Originally, Yang Ruxin didn’t want to bother with the person, but felt it was inappropriate not to, so after the carriage went by, she said, “Stop the carriage.”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Yao frowned, feeling a bit unhappy.

He had seen Guan Qingshu, but didn’t want to acknowledge him.

After all, that was his brother’s rival.

Though he asked, the carriage didn’t slow down; in fact, it seemed to speed up.

Yang Ruxin let out an exasperated chuckle, “Ayao, have you become so petty now?”
