Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 521 - 232: Inside Man +1

"Clap clap clap!"

When the piano music had completely faded, many people suddenly appeared in the seemingly empty villa, applauding enthusiastically.

Wu had walked out of the small hall on the left, clapping and praising as she walked, "Beautiful! Yueyue, truly beautiful!"

Lan peeked out from the second-floor staircase, calling down, "Your piano playing is so moving, absolutely spectacular!"

Chef Wang and Sister Liu stood at the entrance to the open kitchen, smiling warmly and honestly, not sure how to give more specific praise but clapping the most vigorously.

Chu Yan leaned on the railing, nostalgically musing, "There’s nothing more heartfelt than this performance. Ah, youth is indeed an irretrievable journey. Standing at the end and looking back to the beginning, even someone with a heart of stone like me can’t help but want to cry... "

"Thank you, thank you, everyone!"

Gu Jiuyue stood up, her smile radiant as she curtsied in all directions, the hem of her dress in hand.

Although she was wearing a loose cotton nightgown, her demeanor resembled that of a princess who had just emerged from Swan Lake.

Su Huai wore a gentle smile, clapped a few times, and then turned his head to look toward the living room.

Gu Tongshu...

Huh? Uncle Gu, where are you?

The very person who should have been here to offer congratulations was not present, having slipped away quickly.

Gou Huai felt great regret, his happiness reduced to eighty percent, and then, with a sly look, he whispered quietly to Gu Jiuyue.

"Uncle Gu seems angry. Let’s stop practicing for today and you should go and rest... "

Gu Tongshu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

How could he be such a rascal?!

Gu Jiuyue chuckled, her gaze playful as her ethereal aura faded. She gently nudged Su Huai, "So petty! In such a joyful moment, you’re still trying to irritate him~~~"

Look, she knew everything.

But Gou Huai, unafraid and indignant, retorted, "Who else would watch me like guarding against a thief? I particularly dislike that menacing look in his eyes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiuyue nodded in understanding, "Indeed, Uncle Gu is even pettier than you. I’ll chide him later." freёwebnoѵel.com

"Make it a stern chiding!"

Gou Huai was satisfied, then solemnly said, "You really should go back and rest, don’t get too excited. We can practice piano together often in the future, provided you take good care of yourself, okay?"

"Oh!"

Gu Jiuyue obediently agreed, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but quickly concealed as she escorted Su Huai to the door.

"You should head back, be careful on the road."

She truly was a girl accustomed to not harboring grand hopes or clinging needlessly. Su Huai felt it was time to leave, and so she did just that.

As she opened the door, she suddenly turned back and waved to Wu, "Wu..."

Wu, without being told, intuitively walked over and assured her, "Miss, don’t worry."

Su Huai, as if he owned the place, once again sat in the Gu Family’s Bentley. Little Gu stood at the doorway, watching him until the car had driven out of the compound.

Describing it as "waiting like a stone widow" might be an exaggeration, but the reluctance was clear for all to see.

Uncle Gu hid in a corner of the kitchen, sighing heavily, nearly brought to tears.

Before Gu Jiuyue had turned thirteen or fourteen, if he was going out, his precious daughter had also watched him like this.

But he hadn’t enjoyed such attention for many years now.

He could have comforted himself by saying "Because the dutiful daughter has grown up and become more reserved, not showing her emotions as openly," but now... don’t deceive yourself, she just isn’t close to you anymore, shifting her attention to another man.

Puppy, what merit do you have to deserve this?!

Anger once again overwhelmed appreciation, and Gu Tongshu decided to practice shooting targets again later.

But before that, he had to face his daughter’s questioning, "Dad, you were the one who came down to listen, and then when we were really playing, you didn’t listen. Su Huai left without even saying goodbye, isn’t that rude?"

Gu Tongshu hurriedly picked up the fruit plate, trying to placate her, "How could I not listen? I listened very attentively; I went to prepare some fruit for you all."

Then, deflecting, he added, "Oh, why did Su leave so soon? Couldn’t he have at least said goodbye to me?"

This child is really impolite!

Unfortunately, Gu Jiuyue wasn’t buying any of it.

"Hmm!"

With a cold laugh and not another word, she turned and went upstairs.

The disdain and disrespect for her father were evident in that scoff.

Only when she had completely disappeared did Gu Tongshu, still holding the fruit plate, dare to explode, puffing up his cheeks and glaring as he asked Chu Yan, "Hey! She’s really become rebellious. Chu Yan, do you think this girl needs to be disciplined?"

Chu Yan rolled her eyes, thinking: If I dare to agree, would you dare to chase after her?

Ranting and raving, who do you think you are!

When Gu Tongshu received no response, he turned to Chef Wang and Lan for support, but then... everyone disappeared from his sight as quickly as possible.

Eventually, only he was left in the courtyard, angrily grabbing a grape and crunching into it.

Expensive imported fruit, sour in the mouth and bitter in the heart...

...

Su Huai, however, was different.

On the way back, Wu, uncharacteristically warm, chatted with him a bit more than usual.

"Miss is rarely as happy as she was today, except for that last trip to Hainan... Su, when you have time, you should spend more time with her. As for those insignificant flings, just treat them like toys..."

Look at her, so biased!

While Su Huai was internally grumbling, he suddenly had a realization.

Wait!

Was this casually offered piece of advice revealing something?

Su Huai had been confused about Uncle Gu’s attitude before, but now, hearing Wu’s advice, certain suspicions suddenly took form.

He truly was cunning, and began to act immediately, "Who? Ah! Are you hinting at Chen Nuanhan? She and I are just high school classmates; there’s nothing romantic between us..."
