"This is just a small token of my appreciation, Uncle Gu. Please accept it!" Huang Ming secretly felt resentful. What did this Gu Chengyu's father mean by this? Did he look down on the gift he brought? The way he scrutinized him earlier also made him uncomfortable, as if his inner thoughts were laid bare before Mr. Gu.
"Yes, Uncle San. Senior Brother Huang is a good friend of ours, you should just accept it!"
Gu Chengyu heard the conversation in the courtyard and sighed. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to practice his calligraphy today.
He put down the brush and left the room, only to see Gu Wanhua and Huang Ming standing in the courtyard. Huang Ming was holding some pastries and cloth, looking quite awkward.
"Senior Brother Huang!" Gu Chengyu called out. No matter the situation, since things hadn't been completely spoiled, he had to maintain appearances.
