Gu Lejia hesitated at the door. Seventh Uncle rarely had a day off to rest at home, so he thought if he brought Song Xiuyang over, perhaps Seventh Uncle would no longer object.
Unexpectedly, the moment they reached the door, Song Xiuyang shrank back. "It's inappropriate for me to visit like this."
She couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but she felt that accompanying Gu Lejia back alone was improper in terms of both etiquette and reason.
"I want my Seventh Uncle to see how wonderful you are. That way, he won't object to lending us a hand," Gu Lejia persuaded Xiuxiang again, silently trying to encourage himself as well.
"Why don't we just forget it?" Xiuxiang knew her own background. Her initial reason for showing kindness to Gu Lejia was simply because he was a worker brought back by Chen Dongjia and had no family ties to complicate things, meaning there would be much less resistance.
