C5 Second Uncle Please Let Me Go (2/2)

An ambiguous answer, she wasn't lying.

Lu Jun was startled for a moment, then changed his words and admitted his loss: ”How about this, I will give you a 10% discount. What do you think? ”

Xia Jinsheng, ”...” She really went into a hole in the wall.

Xia Jinsheng lazily leaned her head against the car window, watching the familiar scenery outside. The expression in her eyes gradually darkened.

Fifteen years ago, when she was only seven years old, she had been brought to the Gu household in this way.

From that day onwards, she went from being a noble princess that was in the palm of her hand, to being an adopted daughter that had a mother that could not have a mother and a son that was born without a mother.

”...”

The carriage stopped in front of the Gu household. Xia Jinsheng pushed the door open and walked down nervously.

He thought to himself, ”I probably won't be able to eat peacefully tonight …”

Although this was exactly what she wanted in her heart, her heart still sank all of a sudden. She was stifled and unable to breathe.

She turned and put the glass back in its place, ready to go back to the bedroom and take a bath.

Once she was around the corner, she suddenly heard three unhurried bangs on the table. Xia Jinsheng looked over and saw her big uncle Gu Wensheng's face.

She tilted her head and walked over, half leaning on Gu Wensheng's room's door as she smiled mischievously, ”Didn't you say that you were going to C City to prepare for the painting exhibition? You're back already?”

Gu Wensheng's face turned cold, he slammed the table and said, ”What nonsense! I'm not here for a few days, but you're getting engaged? ”
