Chapter 1158: Rejection 1

Jinxing had a very strange look on her face. She cursed Elder Miss Gu inside her heart, but realized that she needed to have a good response for her master regarding why the guest was not here with her.

She looked up at First Ms. Min and forced out some words. “First Ms. Min, Elder Miss Gu says that she is not feeling well, so she has turned down our invitation. She doesn’t want us to get affected by the cold. We are all noble people, and she can’t afford to make us sick too.”

Jinxing added some words to her speech, because she wanted to make the whole thing look better. There was no difference between the original meaning and what she said, but it was a way that she could make the whole failed mission look better.

First Ms. Min frowned slightly – Elder Miss Gu looked well the day before, and it was summer so it was hot and warm during the day and at night, how did she suddenly get sick? Was she really trying to stay away from her?

She did not want to come to the Min Family, because she knew that the Min Family was doing it to save their reputation?

That was very possible.

It seemed that she should not have sent the invitation so early. They just met the day before at Madame Min’s banquet, so Elder Miss Gu, who was not born nobly, had to feel very uncomfortable being their guest.

Well, they could send another invitation on another occasion, but… where was the cream?

Jinxing had been working for her for more than a decade, so she should know that what she wanted was the cream.

First Ms. Min looked at Jinxing curiously…

Jinxing was wondering if she should mention the truth – but it seemed that her master was asking her to speak the truth. Jinxing forced herself to say the following words, “Elder Miss Gu has learnt about your interest in the cream.”

First Ms. Min nodded in satisfaction.

That was her purpose! She needed to know about the cream.

“Elder Miss Gu said that the cream is more precious than the pills given to Madame Min, and it is much more difficult to make. So she needs to charge 2,000 liang for one box. If you like it, you should visit her with money.” Jinxing said, feeling very reluctant.

First Ms. Min frowned directly after hearing what she had said.

Well…

She had never expected that Gu Chaoyan would expect money for her products, and the price was fixed.

She asked for payment for treating Madame Min, and 2,000 liang was not that much, but 2,000 liang for one box of cream was too much – she would have to spend 10,000 to 20,000 liang a month for the skin care.

She was the leader of the Min Family, but that was too much for her.

She had thought that Gu Chaoyan would give some to her since she should be a smart lady, but she was charging her!

She was so shrewd!

Well she could just ask her for some money, but not this much. First Ms. Min was always being flattered, no matter where she was. She always had free access to many things. That was why she believed that Gu Chaoyan charged too much.
