Shen Xian was surprised. Since when had Gu Chen known her so well? She believed she had not shown anything out of the ordinary up to this point.
Actually, if Shen Xian had known Gu Chen a bit better, she would have realized that Gu Chen's question was not because he understood her.
It was because Gu Chen understood his third uncle all too well.
As the youngest son of Old Master Gu, his third uncle had been pampered since childhood, developing an air of arrogance and thus a spoiled and tyrannical temperament. In his youth, he was well-known in Beiji as a formidable tyrant, only slightly mellowed with age.
Most importantly, this third uncle of his had always been extremely prideful, never sparing a second glance for people or matters that didn't involve his own interests or relate to him personally.
Even though he now held only a nominal position managing internal affairs, he was still the esteemed Third Master Gu, pursued by everyone. Not just anyone could catch his eye.
