“Miss, tell me what is going on, why are you crying?” Gu Lao clenched his fist and asked angrily.
Raising her tear-covered eyes, bitterness filled the lady’s lip as she spoke: “Ling Yan’s mother came, and that woman… she’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever met.”
“What you mean is… the woman who took advantage of her own daughter’s age has come?” Gu Lao’s eyes flared with anger, “I thought she only wanted to use the child’s cuteness to make some connection with the Monarch Manor, to think she’s in fact trying to sneak into the monarch’s bed instead! What’s more, that child’s mouth is too sweet, she’s bound to help her own mother succeed at this rate!”
Huffing a grunt at the thought: “Rest assured Miss, I won’t let such a disgusting and vile woman get near the monarch, no one can take him away from you! Whoever dares to try, I will kill them!”
His desire to protect Gu Ya has already reached an irrational level so it doesn’t matter if they are right or wrong, there’s no difference in this old senior’s mind anymore.
Gu Ya’s body stiffened as she hung her head in a dejected manner: “And… Gu Lao, Elder Butterfly, she threatened me and said she will let the monarch know of what I did.”
“Threaten you? She thinks she’s able to?” Gu Lao sneered at the idea, “It doesn’t matter who it is that came up with the idea, in the end it was you who brought the monarch back is it not? Naturally the credit goes to you, what right do they have to revoke that achievement! The fact that Butterfly wants to take credit proves she’s not looking out for the monarch. I really have to wonder what the monarch is thinking in keeping such a bad person as an elder around!”
Gu Ya did not refute the logic and merely stayed quiet. She doesn’t want to believe otherwise. After all, if it weren’t for this opportunity of bringing Heavenly back, never would she have been able to get this close to the monarch. Though the process involves her stealing the idea and credit right under the elders of the manor, but what does it matter?
Getting serious in the face, Gu Ya’s panic slowly faded away at that thought. “Gu Lao, what should I do? I can’t let Butterfly reveal this to the monarch.”
With the status of being the benefactor, Heavenly won’t be so tolerant as me anymore. I won’t let that happen!
Aching in his old heart, the old senior gets firm in his voice: “Miss, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone ruin your happiness even if it costs me my old life…”
His life was saved by the lady. Even if he dies for that goal, it would merely mean he’s giving it back as payment. He’s willing!
“Thank you Gu Lao, I’m much better now.” Gu Ya manages to form a smile despite her eyes still being teary red, “Fortunately you are here with me. Without you, I will be all alone. You also don’t need to go make trouble for Butterfly, she has the protection of the monarch. I’m afraid you will encounter danger…”
