Gu Lejia was speechless. 'This isn't what I expected. Seventh Uncle isn't supposed to be like this.'
Jin Qianqian saw him glare at her for no reason and realized she was caught in the crossfire again.
She glared right back. 'I really don't get it,' she thought. 'He seemed like such an honest young man before. How could he change so much after just one trip away from home?'
Ancient Wen Heng gestured at him. "With a mind like yours, you should just go back to farming with your parents. If Chen Dongjia hadn't been a decent man and tricked you into signing an indenture, do you think you'd still be here scheming?"
Gu Lejia was speechless.
Not wanting to deal with him any further, Ancient Wen Heng pointed to a guest room. "You can stay there for the night. Think things over carefully."
Gu Lejia was speechless.
Seeing his dazed expression, Ancient Wen Heng shook his head and led Jin Qianqian away.
