Chapter 156: 111 Slap in the Face (Second Update)
Gu Jiao did indeed plan to go to the Iron Shop, but she ran into a bit of trouble.
As soon as she arrived in town, she noticed that there were more officials than usual, but she didn’t know why, so she asked an owner of the Bun Shop.
The Bun Shop’s owner was warm-hearted and didn’t ignore her because she didn’t buy buns, “Miss, you might not be aware. Rumor has it a Prince from the Capital City has come to our town, those officials are here to protect him!”
It wasn’t just obvious officials either, Gu Jiao noticed there were quite a few experts in commoner attire mixed among the seemingly ordinary crowd.
This was quite a fuss.
The road to the Iron Shop was blocked, so Gu Jiao decided to go another day.
She went to the private school to wait for Xiaojingkong and Gu Yan, but didn’t expect to bump into Gu Jinyu.
Gu Jinyu was accompanying Miss Zhuang on a shopping trip in town, and they were waiting for Osmanthus Cakes from Liji.
Miss Zhuang naturally wouldn’t queue obediently, she used silver to buy all the Osmanthus Cakes in stock, but the Cakes weren’t made that fast.
“Sister.” Gu Jinyu saw Gu Jiao, let go of Miss Zhuang’s hand, and came over to greet Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao had little interest in Gu Jinyu, she gave her a lukewarm glance, with no intention of stopping.
Gu Jinyu caught up with her: “Sister!”
Gu Jiao was annoyed: “I’ve already said, I’m not your sister. Do not call me that anymore.”
Gu Jinyu was surprised: “But…”
“Hey! How can you talk like that?”
Miss Zhuang had suddenly appeared next to Gu Jinyu.
Because Gu Jinyu had curried favor with her, Miss Zhuang had become friends with Gu Jinyu and considered her as such.
Seeing her friend speak to someone else so obsequiously and getting cold treatment in return, Miss Zhuang felt her own face was being insulted.
Gu Jiao, who didn’t know Miss Zhuang, had no intention of getting to know her either, and she distanced herself from the two with a blank face.
Never having been so blatantly ignored, Miss Zhuang’s anger surged: “You stop right there!”
Gu Jinyu pulled on Miss Zhuang’s sleeve: “Miss Zhuang, please let it go.”
