Chapter 1059: Yangyang Pays Back

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Dad!”

Bai Yueshuang ran over and realized what Gu Yang was doing. She hurriedly shouted.

Bai Shao didn’t hear her voice. He continued to look at Gu Yang and Gu Jin and shook his head. “No.”

Gu Yang raised her eyebrows and snapped her fingers.

Bai Shao looked at Gu Yang and Gu Jin, clearly confused. He didn’t remember their previous question and repeated his own: “Miss Xiao and Miss Gu, why are you looking for me?”

Bai Yueshuang stormed in and demanded angrily, “Gu Yang, Gu Jin, what did you do to my father?”

Bai Shao frowned and pulled Bai Yueshuang back. “Yueshuang, don’t be rude.”

Gu Yang sighed and glanced at Bai Yueshuang. “It’s nothing serious, really. It’s just that Miss Bai…”

She intentionally left the sentence unfinished, allowing Bai Shao to fill in the blanks himself.

Bai Shao looked at Bai Yueshuang with a stern expression. “Yueshuang, apologize to Miss Xiao.”

No matter what, the Xiao family was not someone the Bai family could afford to offend. Gu Yang, as the Xiao family’s little princess, was especially respected in the capital.

Bai Yueshuang, shocked, stared at her father in disbelief. “Dad, I didn’t do anything wrong. Just now…”

Embarrassed by his daughter’s defiance in front of an esteemed guest, Bai Shao’s expression turned serious. “Yueshuang.”

Bai Yueshuang, feeling both indignant and upset, muttered, “I’m sorry, Miss Xiao.”

Gu Yang offered a gentle smile. “It’s alright. I understand you didn’t mean any harm. Since you’ve been living abroad, you might not be familiar with traditional Chinese etiquette. Now that you’re back, it might be helpful to find an etiquette teacher to guide you.”

Bai Yueshuang was furious.

Gu Yang was clearly implying her!

Moreover, these words made her seem magnanimous!

Bai Yueshuang, who had prided herself on her ability to play the pretentious role, was taken aback by Gu Yang’s response.

“Miss Xiao, you’re right,” Bai Shao said. He clearly didn’t want to offend the Xiao family’s little princess. He resolved to hire an etiquette teacher for Bai Yueshuang immediately after the banquet.

“After all, she’s been either in the countryside orphanage or in a coma for years. It’s understandable that she might not know proper etiquette.”

Bai Yueshuang was even more furious, unable to believe that her father was siding with Gu Yang.

She snapped, “Dad, Gu Yang and the others clearly mean to harm you! What did she ask you just now?”

Bai Shao retorted sharply, “Bai Yueshuang, stop making nonsense! I just saw Miss Xiao and Miss Gu, and you came over. It hasn’t been long enough for me to forget everything!”

Stunned by her father’s reprimand, Bai Yueshuang protested, “Dad, Gu Yang is hypnotizing you…”

Gu Yang looked at Bai Yueshuang, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and turned to Bai Shao. “Family Head Bai, is Miss Bai not quite clear-headed? She might be a bit of a hypochondriac.”

Bai Shao recalled that Bai Yueshuang had been in a vegetative state for many years, which could explain her current state of confusion.

He turned to Gu Yang with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, Miss Xiao. Yueshuang was unwell before and sometimes speaks nonsense.”

Bai Yueshuang was shocked to see her father actually believe Gu Yang’s claims.

Gu Yang smiled. “It’s alright. Miss Bai didn’t want to be ill, but she needs treatment.”

Bai Yueshuang met her father’s gaze, horrified. “I’m not sick! Gu Yang, stop talking nonsense! Dad, don’t believe her!”
