Chapter 90.2: 回懟
[Retaliate verbally]
Gu Lang raised his eyes to meet Madam Chen’s angry gaze, his eyes sharpened as he snorted, “I already have a legal husband so what if Chen Ling Er marries over instead of being a concubine?”
When Madam Chen heard his words, she wanted to refute them, but when she saw the sarcasm in Gu Lang’s eyes. She suddenly had a feeling that Gu Lang knew all about their conspiracy, and that he had deliberately acted in such an unsympathetic manner just now.
Gu Lang looked at Madam Chen who had nothing to say, and did not intend to continue to play games with her. He just pretend politeness and compliance as he smiled: “Madam, I have made it very clear just now. The purpose of my trip here is to get back the token that my family gave me. As for the other things, I do not want them.”
Therefore, Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at the two people at the top and said firmly: “I have no intention of taking a concubine.”
After Gu Lang finished saying these words, even Madam Chen, who was still very pleasant just now, her face collapsed at this moment and she looked a bit gloomy.
“Since your nephew has such a prejudice against us, we can’t force him to do so, but I hope that your nephew will consider it clearly, and I’m afraid that he won’t be able to regret it in the future!”
Elder Master Chen, who had recovered, opened his mouth again, but his tone was full of threats, as if Gu Lang would meet with misfortune if he didn’t agree with them.
However, Gu Lang was not the least bit afraid of his threat, and said firmly, “Since the words have been spoken, Gu Mou will naturally take responsibility for it.”
“Good, very good!” The old master of Chen saw that Gu Lang had already hardened his heart, and could not convince him to marry his daughter, immediately became angry. He also does not intend to continue to say something to him, directly under the order of the expulsion, “In that case, my Chen family can not tolerate you this honorable Buddha (good person), you please go back ba!”
The Old Master Chen was not even trying to maintain his basic dignity.
Gu Lang, however, was not annoyed, gently raised his eyebrows, fingers on the table gently tapped a few times, rudely said: “Master Chen, I’m afraid you have mistaken, I didn’t want to come to the door of the Gu family but you wrote to me that the Gu family had left a relic here, so I came to retrieve it. Now that I’ve arrived, I’m sure the token will be returned to me.”
After saying that, Gu Lang, as if he thought of something, raised his eyes to look up at the old master Chen, revealing a mocking smile, “Or did the Old Master Chen say that the token has long become the property of the Chen family, and it is miserly to take it out now?”
Gu Lang’s words were solid and heart-piercing, almost pointing out the face of the Chen family’s embezzlement of the Gu family’s wedding gift. Elder Master Chen naturally also heard the deeper meaning of it, and with his face flushed red, he slapped the armrests of the chair beside him. He angrily yelled at the side, “Bring out the thing.”
As soon as his words fell, a small maid dressed in white walked out with a tray and respectfully came before Gu Lang.
Chen Xing looked at the flat tray and felt that there was nothing on it, then he was puzzled. He turned his head to look at Gu Lang, but he saw that his complexion changed, it seemed that he saw something that emotionally moved him, so that he couldn’t come back to his senses for half a day.
Just when Chen Xing was worried about what happened to Gu Lang, Gu Lang suddenly moved, reached out and uncovered the cloth covering the tray, revealing a pair of Yuan Yang (Mandarin duck) jade pendants underneath.
Gu Lang reached out and took down the two jade pendants, gently rubbing the lines on them. The look of relief on his face was as if he had found a long lost treasure.
Madam Chen, looking at Gu Lang’s behavior, she snorted in secret. Nowadays, even a jade pendant of this color can be regarded as a treasure.
It seems that he is really in a state of down and out. Her eyes slid down to Gu Lang’s hand, which quickly put away the jade pendant. She thought with disdain.
If it wasn’t for the poor quality of this jade pendant, they wouldn’t have taken it out as bait. Now that the matter has not been resolved, the loss is not that big. It made her feel a little more contempt for Gu Lang.
Gu Lang did not know what Madam Chen was thinking, since he had got what he wanted, he did not want to get entangled with them too much, so he stood up and said to the two people above him, “Madam Chen, Old Master Chen, since the things have already been returned, then this senior, I will take my leave.”
Master Chen was still a little angry at his lack of respect, and when he heard his words, he only grunted lightly and did not respond to him.
Madam Chen, however, for some unknown reason, showed him a smile and nodded her head.
When the back of Gu Lang and the two disappeared in front of Old Master Chen and the two of them, the smile on Madam Chen’s face only gradually withdrew, looked at the angry Old Master Chen and said, “Master, since he is so unaware of his honor. We don’t need to be courteous with him anymore.”
Chen Lao Ye turned his head to look at his own wife, solemnly nodded his head and said in a deep voice: “What Madam said is right, he is so unaware of the likeness, we don’t need to be polite.”
