Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 691 - My Name Is Gu Yao!

Chapter 691: My Name Is Gu Yao!

Tang Ruge’s face darkened as she clenched her fists tightly. Her fingernails were almost digging into her palms, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to say anything. She maintained her last shred of dignity.

Qiao Xi smiled lightly. “May I ask if I’ve won?”

The shop owner stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds. He did not expect the young master of the Luo family, Luo Qing, to really come.

When he heard Qiao Xi’s words, he hurriedly nodded. “Yes! Of course, you’ve won.”

Tang Ruge lowered her head with a ferocious expression. After a moment of silence, she slowly looked up and revealed a relieved smile. “I didn’t expect this miss to be from the Luo family. I was ignorant and didn’t know better. I’ve lost.”

Gu Yao snorted. “Since you lost the bet, take out that ancient painting!”

This was the bet that they had agreed on earlier. Previously, Tang Lingyun forced Qiao Xi to hand over Heart of Rose and even rushed over to s.n.a.t.c.h it. Now that Tang Ruge had lost, she should hand over the 30 million yuan ancient painting.

Tang Ruge gritted her teeth and suppressed the emotions that were about to break out of her heart. The 30 million yuan ancient painting was her father’s treasure. She lost it just like that. The price was too high.

She took a deep breath, but there was still a faint smile on her lips. There was no anger at all. “Since I lost, I’ll naturally have to give up the ancient painting. May I know where you live? I’ll send someone to deliver the painting.”

Qiao Xi said, “Second Brother, since you helped me win this bet, then I’ll give the painting to you.”

Luo Qing did not refuse and instructed his subordinates to pa.s.s that woman his address.

Tang Ruge frowned. The Luo family was a big family. They had all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry. How could they take a liking to her ancient painting? She originally thought that Luo Qing would not accept this painting, but who knew that he really did!

Tang Lingyun stomped her feet in anger. “You… How could you accept…”

“Why not?” Gu Yao immediately interrupted her and mocked, “I remember that when you thought we lost just now, you tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the necklace. Moreover, Miss Tang has admitted defeat. Remember to send the ancient paintings to the Luo family immediately. Otherwise, everyone will think that the Tang family is shameless!”

Now that the bet was over, everyone was no longer in the mood to watch the show. They gradually dispersed. Tang Ruge was too embarra.s.sed to continue staying here. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. “May I ask for this lady’s surname?”

Before Qiao Xi could say anything, Gu Yao stood up and said domineeringly, “Why? Do you want to seek revenge?”

Tang Ruge suppressed the anger in her heart and squeezed out a faint smile. “Of course not. I’ve just never heard of there being a young miss in the Luo family, so…”

Everyone instantly understood what Tang Ruge meant. She suspected Qiao Xi’s ident.i.ty and felt that she was not from the Luo family.

Gu Yao had a look of disdain. “What does it have to do with you whether she’s from the Luo family or not? Anyway, she’s the one Luo Qing is helping. You lost the bet. Moreover, I’m the one who wants to buy the porcelain vase. She’s just here to accompany me. If you want revenge, come find me! My name is Gu Yao!”

As soon as this name was mentioned, even the usually calm Tang Ruge could not help but take a deep breath and ask in surprise, “Gu Yao? You… You’re from the Gu family?”

Seeing that Gu Yao was dressed in n.o.ble clothes, Tang Ruge looked at Gu Zheng. The two of them looked a little similar, so she smiled gently. “Are you the head of the Gu family, Gu Zheng?”

Gu Yao: “???” Why was this woman still smiling? She still wanted to seduce Gu Zheng in front of the legitimate wife?

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent, and he did not answer. Tang Ruge did not seem to notice the other party’s coldness and continued talking, “Mr. Gu, we met when we were young, but it’s been more than ten years. You probably don’t remember me anymore. I came to the porcelain shop today because I know that Old Madam Gu likes this pink porcelain vase, so I wanted to buy it for her. Unexpectedly, I b.u.mped into Second Young Master Gu and there was a misunderstanding.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng still ignored her, but Tang Ruge continued to smile. “I was originally blaming myself for not being able to buy the porcelain vase that Grandma Gu likes. Now that I know that Second Young Master Gu is buying it for Grandma Gu, I’m relieved.”

There was silence again. Gu Zheng did not say anything, so naturally, no one would say anything. Tang Ruge stood awkwardly for a moment, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. “Teacher, Lingyun, let’s go.”

The three of them left with their attendants. The crowded shop instantly became much quieter, and even the air seemed to have become fresher.
