Old Huang sat in the corner, impassively watching the scene unfold.
Seeing the two of them at a standstill, Stone grew anxious. He gently poked Xiao Yu and whispered, "Young Master, don't be angry yet. Think about it. If Miss Gu is saying this, there must be a reason. Why not ask her about it first?"
Xiao Yu considered this and agreed. He suppressed his anger, looked at Gu Fei, and tried to keep his voice level. "Did something happen at the shop?"
Gu Fei's expression was placid. "It's nothing. All I ask is to live a peaceful and stable life. I ask for your understanding, Young Master Heir."
Xiao Yu frowned. "Was it that bastard Housekeeper Wu? Did he give you trouble again?"
A mocking smile touched Gu Fei's lips. "Then perhaps the Young Master Heir should ask Housekeeper Wu. What's the point of asking me!"
With that, she turned and walked toward the back courtyard.
Xiao Yu dashed over and grabbed her arm. "You're not leaving until you explain yourself!"
