NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32
Rude to Refuse an Elder’s Gift
Distributing tea, also known as tea art, was painting using water. Tea was used as paper, tea grounds as ink, and tea brush as a pen to draw a painting.
Old Master Ruan looked at the dissipated bamboo branches, his heart unable to calm down. He never thought that he would be able to see such an exciting tea performance and tea art!
Even tea masters like them might not know tea art. Even if they did, it would be very difficult to reach such an exquisite level!
Old Master Ruan couldn’t wait to taste the tea. The biluochun tea was warm and delicate, tender and fresh, and the taste was mellow.
“Good tea!” Old Master Ruan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Gu Yang took a sip of tea and asked lightly, “Grandpa, try Cousin’s tea again and see who did better.”
Old Master Ruan was immersed in the enjoyment of the tea and blurted out, “Of course it’s yours.”
Gu Yang smiled. “Thank you for the tea set, Grandpa.”
Old Master Ruan instantly sobered up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. “…”
He had forgotten about this…
His precious zisha clay tea set!!!
Old Master Ruan really wanted to go against his conscience and say that Gu Yang wasn’t as good as Ruan Chu, but in front of so many juniors, he still cared about his reputation.
He could only hope that Gu Yang wouldn’t take what he liked, but Gu Yang said righteously, “It’s rude to refuse an elder’s gift! Grandpa, I won’t stand on ceremony with you!”
Old Master Ruan, “…”
Shameless! Who’s your grandfather? Why didn’t you politely turn it down?
Old Master Ruan watched as he lost his beloved tea set. His heart was bleeding as if he had lost his parents. It was as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Ruan Chu also knew that it was her grandfather’s most precious tea set, so she felt a little guilty.
Gu Yang accepted it with a clear conscience. Noticing Ruan Chu’s expression, she comforted her gently, “Cousin, don’t blame yourself. Why would Grandpa blame you? If you want to blame someone, blame me for being too strong.”
Ruan Chu, “…”
Old Master Ruan glared at Gu Yang. “Get lost. I don’t want to see you.”
“Alright, I’m leaving.” Gu Yang hugged the wrapped tea set and got up.
“Wait!” Old Master Ruan’s eyelids twitched. He looked at the tea set reluctantly and said weakly, “Let me take another look.”
Gu Yang generously put down the tea set and let Old Master Ruan see as much as he wanted. At the same time, she turned to Ruan Chu and bowed. “Cousin, I’m sorry. I was wrong before. I sincerely apologize to you now.”
Ruan Chu was stunned. Old Master Ruan, who was looking at the tea set, was also stunned. The grandfather and granddaughter both looked at Gu Yang in surprise.
Ruan Chu’s first reaction was, “Was she nuts?”
Gu Yang was too abnormal! Not only did she fall out with Ruan Yan, she even counseled her and apologized to her!
Gu Yang thought to herself, “… Probably not.”
Ruan Chu looked at Gu Yang even more strangely. “If you aren’t crazy, would you apologize to me?”
Gu Yang’s expression didn’t change. “My fall probably helped to correct my ways.”
Ruan Chu, “…” What kind of nonsense was this?
Ruan Chu didn’t dwell on why Gu Yang suddenly apologized to her. Instead, she rejected Gu Yang coldly. “I don’t accept your apology, and I won’t forgive you.”
Gu Yang nodded in understanding. The damage the original owner of the body had done to Ruan Chu was irreversible. Ruan Chu didn’t have to choose to forgive her just because she casually apologized.
Ruan Chu’s heart softened when she saw her grandfather looking at his beloved tea set pitifully. She gritted her teeth and said to Gu Yang, “Of course, if you give me that tea set as an apology, I don’t mind forgiving you.”
Actually, after Gu Yang counseled her and apologized, she didn’t hate Gu Yang as much as before.
