Chancellor Zhang's complexion finally improved somewhat, and he said, "That's better. When the time is not ripe, you should eat and drink as you please. Although my Chancellor Residence is not as grand as the Ningwang Residence, I can still afford to give Brother Gu some money for drinks. Don't feel embarrassed; I consider you a friend!"
Gu Wu was no fool; he was quite clear who was truly a friend.
But it didn't matter. After all, each was seeking what they needed, and they all wanted Gu Youyou to have bad luck.
"By the way, Brother Gu, are you not busy at the moment?"
Gu Wu hesitated slightly, not knowing what Chancellor Zhang, with his hidden agenda, intended. He merely replied, "I'm just an idle person, not busy with anything."
Chancellor Zhang nodded with a smile and said to Zhang Shiyu, who stood nearby, "Shiyu, go out and play. Father wants to have a word with Brother Gu."
"What could you possibly say that your daughter can't hear?" Zhang Shiyu asked, clearly displeased.
