Gu Lejia grew anxious. "Seventh Uncle, I don't want to go back."
Ancient Wen Heng glanced up at him. That icy gaze scared Gu Lejia so much that he scrambled back two steps, nearly shrinking into a corner.
"The boy has never been out on his own, so he doesn't understand the importance of household registration and family. Regardless, he must go home this time," Ancient Wen Heng said, choosing his words carefully. "He's caused you a lot of trouble already. If there were any issues, I hope you will be candid with me, Chen Dongjia."
Chen Dagui nodded in understanding. "It's for the best. If I hadn't helped cover for him, he never would have made it this far without a household registration.
Lejia is a pretty diligent worker and hasn't caused us any trouble. In fact, I still owe him some of his wages.
When he comes back for his luggage, I'll have the accountant settle up with him in advance."
