Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Found Out? (Additional Client Update)

"This little girl is not bad."

After Gu Lingling left, one of the two people behind the ruined temple said with a slight smile, "Old Zhou is quite lucky."

The old man speaking chuckled, looking at the man beside him, "Yunhai, don’t you think this girl is quite interesting?"

Would Old Liu, that old fox, say such things? And to a little girl?

"I’ll figure out something about the educated youths," Yang Yunhai said, pursing his lips and looking in the direction Gu Lingling had gone, without responding to Old Man Qian’s words.

"You brat, would it kill you to say a few more words? Always with that icy face, no girl would like that," Old Man Qian muttered softly to Yang Yunhai’s retreating figure.

Yang Yunhai paused for a moment, then quickly continued to leave.

Gu Lingling naturally didn’t know any of this. As soon as she pushed open the door to the room, she saw Gu Juan sitting on the kang.

This one wasn’t asleep!

"Gu Lingling, where did you just run off to?" Gu Juan asked, arms crossed over her chest.

Gu Lingling mocked her with a glance, "What? Do I need to report to you if I get some fresh air outside?"

"Gu Lingling, stop trying to fool me, I saw it just now, you sneaked to the back," Gu Juan said with a cold sneer.

Gu Lingling’s heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm. She looked at Gu Juan, unsure if she had really seen her enter the ruined temple.

Meanwhile, she mentally cautioned herself to be even more careful in the future.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Gu Juan said smugly, "Pretending to be so noble, yet you’re just the same."

"What do you mean?" Gu Lingling asked, frowning.

"You sneaked to the back because you heard about the village chief’s conversation with Grandpa, and you wanted to explore the ruined temple, right?" Gu Juan looked at Gu Lingling with disdain, "Shameless."

Actually, she had already gone when she heard that the educated youths might be placed in the ruined temple, so when she saw Gu Lingling headed in that direction, she assumed she had the same intention.

Gu Juan had seen the newly arrived educated youths in the neighboring village; they were far better looking than the young men in their village.

Gu Lingling felt relieved, gave Gu Juan a sidelong glance, turned away, and climbed onto the kang, ignoring her.

As long as she wasn’t exposed for her involvement with Mr. Zhou, that was enough.

As for the nonsense in this one’s head, she couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.

"Gu Lingling, I’m telling you, you’d better behave, or I’ll tell Grandma and let her deal with you," Gu Juan said arrogantly.

"And I want that white cotton shirt in your bundle, along with those black pants," Gu Juan declared haughtily, "Tell Dad that you willingly gave them to me."

"If you try any funny business, wait till Dad leaves, and see how I deal with you."

Did she think she had something on her?

Gu Lingling’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Then go complain right now."

"As for my clothes, you better listen carefully, Gu Juan." Gu Lingling stood on the kang and looked down at Gu Juan sitting on it, "From now on, I won’t give you a single thread, remember that clearly."

"Gu Lingling, are you crazy?" Gu Juan didn’t expect Gu Lingling to say that.

Gu Lingling had brought three sets of clothes back this time, all new. Her favorite was the little floral one, but she had already lowered her expectations, yet Gu Lingling was being so unyielding.

Is she stupid?

She had planned to wear the new clothes to see the educated youths and had already boasted about it. If Gu Lingling didn’t give her the clothes, what would she wear then?

Gu Juan was dumbfounded, but seeing Gu Lingling’s smug look, her anger surged.

"You’re forcing me into this."
