Gu Lejia grew somewhat anxious upon hearing this. "Seventh Uncle, I don't want to go back."
Gu Wenheng looked up at him. The icy glare frightened Gu Lejia so much that he quickly took two steps back, nearly shrinking into the corner.
"This child has never traveled alone and doesn't understand the importance of his household registration and clan. No matter what, he has to return home this time," Gu Wenheng said, organizing his thoughts. "Considering how much trouble he's caused you, I wonder if there was anything improper. I hope Chen Dongjia won't hesitate to tell me."
Chen Dagui nodded in understanding. "That is how it should be. If I hadn't helped cover for him, he wouldn't have been able to travel this far without a household registration.
"Le Family works quite diligently and hasn't caused us any trouble. In fact, I still owe him some wages.
"When he goes back to fetch his luggage, I'll have the accountant settle his pay in advance."
