Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 815 - 814: I’m Hungry!
Another day had passed, and it was already six in the evening.
Gu Tong left the Feng Family. At this time, the weather didn’t cooperate; a torrential downpour raged briefly. Fortunately, Gu Tong was driving, or she would have been drenched like a soaked chicken.
Gu Tong parked her car and stepped down, holding a silver umbrella as she pushed open the Li Family’s gate.
"Young Madam is back."
The servants approached respectfully, taking the umbrella from Gu Tong’s hand, and placed a pair of pink slippers on the floor, ready to serve her.
They worked diligently and were exceptionally attentive, which made Gu Tong, who wasn’t used to this, a bit uncomfortable.
Gu Tong didn’t speak, instead, she picked up her bag and headed up the stairs.
The pink slippers fell onto the staircase, and the servants on the lower floor began to gossip in whispers.
...
"Isn’t our Eldest Young Master interested in Miss Chu? I saw them talking at the door this morning, and they looked particularly well-matched together..."
"Miss Chu is beautiful and allies herself with our Madam. With Madam’s support, it’s not impossible for her to marry into the Li Family in the future. Moreover, our Eldest Young Master is extraordinarily handsome. If Miss Chu really sets her heart on him, even heroes can be swayed by beauty; it’s not a big deal. Miss Chu is shrewd and can accomplish anything she sets her mind to."
"Don’t speak so carelessly; we have a Young Madam too, and she’s not someone easy to deal with. If she finds out, won’t she be outraged with our Eldest Young Master..."
"What’s the big deal? In rich families, who doesn’t have one at home and one outside? If they can’t handle such trivial matters, they really aren’t suited to be the Young Madam."
The servants were chatting freely, completely unworried about being overheard or letting the news slip, as if it were intentionally said for Gu Tong to hear.
...
Standing on the stairs, Gu Tong wasn’t angry at all. On the contrary, she found it somewhat amusing.
Just a day had passed, and Gong Qingwan couldn’t resist using such despicable tactics, trying to create a rift between them as a couple through rumors; truly, she’s putting in a lot of effort.
If it were any other woman, wouldn’t she be infuriated by these words? Unfortunately, these ladies from prominent families have to maintain their image; even if they are enraged, they won’t show it, ending up frustrated and upset.
Many conflicts between couples are likely stirred up by these gossiping women.
With this thought, Gu Tong didn’t just sit idly by; instead, she stretched her fair arm from the stair railing, her thumb clasping her index finger, aiming at the most talkative servant in the corner of the stairs, and gave her a flick on the forehead.
"Ouch..." The servant was startled by the flick, holding her head and quickly looking up, only to meet a pair of eyes that seemed both amused and indifferent!
"Y-Young Madam..." The servant’s legs felt weak, never expecting the Young Madam to pay attention to her, let alone receive a hard flick on the forehead, making her flustered.
"I’m hungry!"
The three words were uttered slowly, Gu Tong speaking them with deliberate pauses, making it hard for anyone to grasp her emotion or discern her true intent.
Gu Tong didn’t rebuke, leaving the servant puzzled about her thoughts, so she timidly asked, "Young Madam, what would you like to eat?"
Gu Tong lowered her eyelids slowly, then said at a measured pace, "Where are you from?"
"Chuan City."
"Perfect, I feel like having Sichuan cuisine. Pick some signature dishes and make ten of them! Be quick, I’m starving!"
Servant: "..."
Ten dishes, can that even be eaten...
It’s clearly a setup...
Watching the scene from a distance, Aunt He couldn’t help but marvel: The Young Madam’s methods are impressive, expressing no joy or anger, yet making the servants fall silent completely, not daring to gossip any further.
