Chapter 1260: Staying Separately

Tong Shuitao, who was in the inn, had been waiting anxiously. If not for the fact that she was clenching her fists tightly, she would have rushed into the shop to see what was going on.

Therefore, she didn’t notice that Duan Wan, who was sitting behind her, was too quiet.

When Gu Yundong and Duan Wan returned, Duan Wan suddenly came back to her senses and asked worriedly, “You’re back. How is it? What happened in the shop?”

Gu Yundong did not hide it from her and told her about Second Master Duan’s plans for the provision store.

Duan Wan’s entire body shook. “You’re saying that not only did my second uncle want to take over the Shu Family, but he also brought Young Master Dou to your provision store and wanted to blame the provision store for theft?”

“That’s roughly the case. However, you don’t have to worry too much. Your Second Uncle was thrown out by us and Young Master Dou didn’t say anything.”

“Thrown? Thrown out?” Duan Wan looked at her in shock, and her mind went blank for a moment. She couldn’t imagine her second uncle being thrown out in front of so many people.

Gu Yundong nodded. “It’s just that your second uncle probably holds a grudge. After what happened today, he might already be secretly trying to take revenge on us. Therefore, it’s easier for you to be exposed if you stay with us now. Brother Shao and I discussed it. We’ll find another inn to stay in. You and Shuitao can continue to stay here.”

“I—”

Gu Yundong raised her hand to stop her. “If your second uncle finds out that we’re related, things might become even more complicated. It’s better for everyone if we live separately.”

Duan Wan did not say anything else. “Okay, okay.”

On the other hand, Tong Shuitao, who was at the side, had a disappointed expression. She wanted to follow Young Miss even more. With her personality, how could she be suitable to guard someone in the inn? However, this was Young Miss’s decision. Although Tong Shuitao was reluctant, she still nodded and agreed.

Only then did Gu Yundong talk about other things. “Duan Wan, I heard that when your cousin, or your second uncle’s daughter, was young, she met a group of human traffickers. A child even asked her for help. Then, your second uncle helped to save those children. Is that true?”

Duan Wan was stunned. She frowned and thought for a long time before shaking her head. “I don’t really remember.”

Gu Yundong asked, “What about you? Have you ever met a child who asked you for help?”

Duan Wan still shook her head. “I don’t remember.”

Gu Yundong sighed. Alright, the last bit of hope in her heart had dissipated.

She stopped harping on this matter and started to ask about the progress of her discussion with Shopkeeper Luo.

Duan Wan pursed her lips. “Uncle Luo told me not to show my face for the time being. He will think of a way to save Zhilan and Huilan.”

“How is he going to save them? I remember you saying before that Zhilan and Huilan were both injured.”

Duan Wan shook her head. “I don’t know either. Uncle Luo only asked me to wait in the inn.” Seeing Gu Yundong’s worried look, she looked up and smiled. “You don’t have to worry. Since Uncle Luo said so, he must have a way. He has a lot of connections in the residence. Don’t worry.”

Since she had said so, Gu Yundong did not raise any objections.

If Shopkeeper Luo had any plans, she would ruin things if she interfered rashly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yundong packed her things and said to the two of them, “We’ll go to Yuelai Inn first. If you need anything, look for us there.”

Yuelai Inn was the inn where Gu Yundong stayed when she came last time.
