443 Serves You Right!
Qian Jiyun stared at Gong Cheng coldly. He had already made up his mind to pack this guy up and send him to Huayan Peak in a few days. He did not want him to stay in the capital for another moment.
“That’s enough. You’re already so old. What’s there to argue about with him?”
An Jiuyue sighed softly. She could not say much about Gong Cheng. After all, he was not her family.
If it was a relative’s child, she would slap them without hesitation. How could such a brat exist?
“Let him board the boat. Having one more person is fine. Young Master Gong, do you know how to row a boat?” she asked Gong Cheng.
“Do I look like I know how to row a boat?” Gong Cheng answered assertively with a question.
He was the eldest son of the Gong family. His servants would usually take care of everything he did in the city. Was rowing a boat something he had to do personally? He could just pick any servant to row the boat, right?
An Jiuyue remained silent.
What a stubborn man! I gave him a way out, but he refused to give in. It’s no surprise that Qian Jiyun is angry.
After hearing what Gong Cheng had said, Qian Jiyun almost kicked him away. Fortunately, An Jiuyue grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
“Why would you want to come if you don’t know how to row a boat? Do you want me to serve you? Or do you want Junfeng to row the boat for you? Get lost!”
Gong Cheng opened his mouth and finally understood what An Jiuyue meant.
However, he had already spoken and could not take back his words. What else could he possibly do? He had to put up with it to board the boat.
“Second Brother, although I don’t know how to row a boat, I can help you pick the lotus seeds. Look, you have two children, yet you have to row a boat and pick the lotus seeds. You’ll be in a frenzy. Isn’t it better if I go with you?”
He finally had a good head on his shoulders. He could even delegate tasks to himself.
“I’ll row the boat. Youran can help pick the lotus seeds.” Xia Junfeng pushed Gong Cheng away and jumped onto the boat first before helping Chen Youran up.
He saw Gong Cheng looking at him pitifully. He sneered again and cursed internally, “Serves you right!”
“Cousin, why don’t we release the lotus lanterns by the bank? Prince Zhan Yun’s rented boat isn’t big. Lord Xia and Miss Chen are also here. If we all board, it will be quite crowded.”
Yu Yan’er also realized how much Qian Jiyun disliked her. She pursed her lips and tried to be a good person and persuade Gong Cheng to leave.
However, Gong Cheng was a foolish young man. He remembered being here before Fifth Brother Xia arrived.
No matter what, there should be a place for him on the boat!
He could not bring himself to ask Fifth Brother Xia and Chen Youran to leave. However, he would lose face if he could not board the boat.
“No, I have to get on the boat. Releasing the lotus lanterns by the bank cannot compare to releasing them in the middle of the lotus pond. Cousin, you can go to the bank if you want. This boat still has room for one more person,” he said to Yu Yan’er in a daze.
This time, it was not An Jiuyue who laughed aloud but Chen Youran, who had accompanied Xia Junfeng.
Even she could tell that Miss Yu from the Grand Preceptor Residence was retreating to advance. She said it on purpose to provoke Gong Cheng into fighting to get on the boat.
