Chapter 51: Why Not Get A Divorce
Lin Yue'er stared at him, "This isn't the time to say those things!"
Her orchid!
She was about to rush over and grab the flower, but Gu Xi Chen simply used one arm to hold her back. "If Huangdou water hasn't been fully fermented, it will burn the roots of the flowers." As she spoke, she used a knife to trim the already slightly damaged roots.
He seemed to know what he was doing, so Lin Yue'er slowly calmed down and squatted beside him, watching him work, and asked suspiciously, "Have you ever raised flowers?"
"It's common sense," he said matter-of-factly, just like looking at the traffic light when crossing the road, and it would be strange if you didn't understand.
He stood up and handed the knife back to her, "Rinse the roots with water a few times and then change the soil, it should be fine."
Lin Yue'er was still a bit uneasy, "Really?"
Gu Xi Zhen slowly raised an eyebrow, speaking at a pace that was enough to torture people, "If you can't die, then it's true."
He didn't look at her again and walked out of the lab.
Lin Yue'er bit her lip and glared in the direction he had disappeared.
Do these two young masters of the Gu family have to be so annoying? What's the point of having a sunny day, anyway?
Lin Yue'er squatted down, gently stroking the leaves of the orchids with a pained heart, blaming herself for being careless. Why hadn't she noticed such an important detail? She had almost killed these lovely little things...
She then comforted herself by thinking that one has to admit, you can't be perfect in every way, there are things you're good at and things you're not.
Alright, this is an excuse.
Afterwards, Lin Yueer went online to check and indeed it was just as Gu Xi Cen had said, it was her own operational error. So, even though he had a face that looked just like Gu Wang Chuan's unpleasant one, at least he had helped her with this matter, so Lin Yueer still remembered him for his kindness.
Of course, it's all right as long as her precious Orchid is safe.
Exclusive premiere on the web
In the dining room, the Gu brothers were having dinner. Hua Yi occasionally looked towards the door and worriedly said, "Why hasn't Young Master and Madame returned yet?"
Gu Wangchuan raised his head and snorted, "She's not crippled, if she wants to come back, she'll come back on her own."
Aunt Hua turned her head sideways and said discontentedly, "Young Master, it's so dark now, aren't you worried?"
"Concerned about that woman?" Gu Wangchuan seemed to have heard some extremely interesting joke. "Aunt Hua, don't joke around!"
Hua Yi shook her head and sighed, she wasn't unaware that the young master was very dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the old master. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been a domineering figure who got his way, but suddenly he was forced to accept a woman as his wife, and that kind of rebellious psychology might be even more intense.
"Brother, why don't you divorce her?"
Gu Wangchuan disliked that woman, and could even be said to loathe her. It should have been clear to most people, but they didn't understand why he accepted this marriage due to a command from his grandfather and maintained it until now, which was not like the eldest brother's style at all.
Gu Wangchuang raised his red wine cup, carelessly took a sip, and smiled like a cunning fox. "No matter whether Lin Yueer is an old man's spy or a chess piece he has placed here, having her under my eyelids is much safer than putting her somewhere I can't see."
Gu Xi Cen smiled and said nothing. Big brother had been fighting with grandfather for a long time, this old man and young boy seemed to have endless energy.
The two brothers came into the living room, sat down, and while watching TV and eating fruit, happened to be broadcasting local news.
"...latest news, the shocking taxi driver rape robbery murder case in this city has new developments...the police have publicly offered a reward of 100,000 to capture the escaped suspect Fan Mou, and are now collecting clues from citizens..."
