Chapter 421: Chapter 422: has a strong aptitude for raising white wolves
“Living in the servants’ quarters, how awful would that sound?
She was a respectable young lady, how could she live in the servants’ building?
“You’re overthinking!” Before Senior Master Gu could speak, Gu Junzhu sneered, “My dad considers you his goddaughter out of respect for your grandpa. Even your grandpa, being a subordinate to my dad, you have no right to act like a hostess in the Gu Family.”
“I… I…” Sheng Ruolan turned pale and was speechless.
This was not what she had imagined.
She came here with the intention of marrying Gu Junzhu.
Now that Gu Junzhu already has a young and beautiful wife, it seems like she has lost any hopes.
Having strolled around, she had already thought that if not Gu Junzhu, she could probably marry any of his friends.
Since she had her heart set on Gu Junzhu, she naturally inquired about his matters.
Every single one of Gu Junzhu’s childhood friends belonged to a powerful and distinguished family, she could pick one of them to marry and that wouldn’t be much different from marrying Gu Junzhu.
But the Gu family insisted on her staying in the servants’ quarters.
If she lived in the servants’ quarters, she would be treated like a servant of the Gu family, how could she be eligible to marry any of Gu Junzhu’s friends?
After hesitating for a while, she tearfully said: “Living in the servants’ quarters would make me look like a Gu family’s servant…”
Looking pathetically at Senior Master Gu, she said: “Grandpa Gu, does your commitment to looking after me, as promised to my grandpa, mean having me work as a servant in your house?”
Senior Master Gu frowned at Sheng Ruolan.
Although this child looked pretty, she seemed to be a bit confused.
“I just said you will live in the servants’ quarters, I did not mention anything about working as a maid. Once you’re settled in, I’ll have the transfer process completed for you to attend university. You are a student, not a maid,” Senior Master Gu stated, “I promised your grandpa that I would take good care of you, ensure you have a shelter, and protect you from any form of harm. Isn’t this all enough?”
“Of course it’s not enough!” Gu Junzhu laughed mockingly, “It seems Miss Sheng had planned to become the young lady of our family, and then you were hoping that my dad would find you a wealthy family with a similar status to ours and you could marry into it!”
Since her intentions were revealed, Sheng Ruolan’s face flushed red.
But she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
She bit her lip, gathered courage and looked at Gu Junzhu: “Is it wrong for me to have such expectations? Since Grandpa Gu promised my grandpa that he would take good care of me, he should do everything in his power to give me a comfortable life. The family can afford to keep me, why would he make me live in the servant’s quarters then?”
Gu Junzhu laughed sarcastically again, and said to Senior Master Gu: “Dad, can you see now? This is what they call being a ‘choosy beggar’! Not only does she demand shelter here, but she also expects to be treated as if a princess, pampered with food and clothing. Only then she thinks we can fulfill our commitment to her late grandfather!”
“It should be exactly like that!” Sheng Ruolan, not willing to stay in the servants’ quarters, tried to argue for herself boldly: “My grandpa entrusted me to Grandpa Gu because he wanted me to live a good life. If my grandpa knew that Grandpa Gu had arranged for me to live in the servants’ quarters to be treated as a servant of the Gu family, he would surely blame Grandpa Gu!” “What right does your grandpa have to blame my dad?” Gu Junzhu scoffed, “My dad helping your grandpa is a matter of courtesy, not helping would be his duty! Now, with providing you a place to live and quality food, not only are you ungrateful but also complain about the Gu family being ungenerous.. I see, you’re indeed a thankless individual, it would be better not to help someone like you at all!”
