Gu Shen's mind raced. After saying his piece, he simply watched the person opposite him in silence, not adding a single unnecessary word.
'Until he was sure of her attitude, saying more would only mean making more mistakes.'
But Gu Xi's reaction... was just a nonchalant "oh."
Gu Shen frowned imperceptibly.
A gentleman doesn't stand beneath a crumbling wall. Though he had no intention of acknowledging Gu Xi, or even meeting her, on this trip to A City Base, he and his team of advisors had still prepared extensively before he came to City A. They had anticipated several possible reactions she might have upon seeing him.
But none of their scenarios had involved such a nonchalant "oh."
It left him completely baffled.
As a result, all the responses he had prepared in advance were now useless.
But as the heir the Gu Family had painstakingly groomed for so many years, Gu Shen quickly recovered his composure.
'He already had a new plan.'
