Chapter 625 Ask for the Favor
“Actually, I was only expressing my gratitude for Xie Zhuolian...” Gao Ge tries to explain.
“Huh. Gratitude? Did you predict that she would save you today?” Tang Jiusi disses him. “Gao Ge, I don’t want to judge you, but your explanation is too lame.”
Xia Lu also feels a headache.
Somehow, she feels that she seems to have another competitor given what has just happened.
Sigh...
She feels so sad.
Certainly, she doesn’t regret calling Xie Zhuolian to come here.
Facts prove that Xie Zhuolian is really impressive. Gao Ge was in a critical condition before but she arrived and woke Gao Ge up with a simple acupuncture treatment. Besides, he has got much better.
She is such a magical doctor.
After all, Gao Ge’s safety is the priority.
After Earth Dragon and Xie Zhuolian leave, Gao Ge also stands up.
Nothing really wrong was with his body. He simply passed out just now. Now that he is sober, he feels fine now.
“Since the problem of Qiu City has been solved, we should leave then,” Gao Ge says.
“We are leaving now?” Tang Jiusi says. “How about staying for a few more days?”
Gao Ge looks at him in surprise, asking, “What? Do you want to continue staying here?”
With a bitter look, Tang Jiusi nods his head. “I have to. Although the crisis of Qiu City has been over, someone still needs to stay and keep an eye on it. It’s like a patient also needs to remain in hospital under observation for some time after surgery.”
His explanation is quite easy to understand.
Gao Ge smiles. “That’s right, but I do not need to stay here. I can’t just stay merely for living a leisurely life in your place. I’ve gained 2.5 kg during my stay in Qiu City.”
“That’s nice. Aren’t you still looking thin now?” Tang Jiusi says with a smile but he does not intend to ask Gao Ge to stay anymore.
He also thinks that life will become very dull if only he stays here.
However, it is to find Meng Jing but not to take a tour that Gao Ge and his friends came to Qiu City. They are pretty busy here. He is too embarrassed to ask Gao Ge to stay for fear that he himself may feel bored.
Although Tang Jiusi doesn’t voice it out, Shao Shuai has seen through his mind, so he comforts with a smile, “Tang Jiusi, don’t worry that you will be bored in Qiu City.”
Tang Jiusi suddenly raises his eyebrows.
He has got a nasty feeling...
As expected, what Shao Shuai says makes his blood freeze.
“I’ve discussed with Gusu. She will stay in Qiu City to keep you company.”
“You are driving me nuts...” Tang Jiusi raises his head to look at Shao Shuai with red eyes...
Shao Shuai laughs and says, “Of course not. Anyhow, Gusu is your fiancée. Isn’t it nice that she stays and spends more time with you?”
Tang Jiusi is so furious that he is even shivering.
He really wishes to rush forward and give Shao Shuai a beating if possible.
Gao Ge rubs his nose and coughs, saying all of a sudden, “Tang, let’s talk outside.”
Tang Jiusi doesn’t know what Gao Ge wants to talk about with him, but he still follows outside.
He is still pondering over what kind of torture he will suffer if Shao Gusu really stays...
They find a remote room and go inside.
After staying silent for a moment, Gao Ge speaks.
“Tang, do you really dislike the girl of the Shao Family?”
Tang Jiusi stares at Gao Ge, blinking his eyes.
It seems that he doesn’t understand why Gao Ge asked the question.
“Why would you even ask that? How can any man like that kind of girl?”
Gao Ge puckers his lips and gazes at him. Having hesitated for a moment, he says, “If that’s really the case, I can help you talk about it with the Shao Family.”
In Gao Ge’s eyes, Tang Jiusi is a good friend and even a buddy to him.
The first time they met in Jiangnan City, Tang Jiusi left a good impression on him and also did him quite a favor.
This time, if it were not for Tang Jiusi, he couldn’t have obtained information about Meng Jing.
These are all personal favors.
As a man, he certainly understands that if a man really marries a woman he doesn’t love, his life will be ruined for the following decades.
It is always said that one may settle for his marriage.
historical
Actually, nothing is wrong with the saying.
However, those who settle for their marriage may feel sad and regret while smoking at late night, thinking why they don’t wait a bit longer for their true love. At least, they won’t be so eager to leave the house at once, and meanwhile feel reluctant to let go in all conscience and fail the woman they don’t love so much...
There are many people of this type.
Gao Ge can’t be one of them. He certainly doesn’t hope that Tang Jiusi becomes one of them.
“About what?” Tang Jiusi is stunned and then asks.
“Of course to help you persuade the Shao Family to drop the thought. At the worst, I can owe them one favor,” Gao Ge says smilingly.
He is rather confident.
As long as he brings it up to Shao Shuai, the Shao Family won’t reject it for sure.
After all, the Tang Family is not their only option. If the worst comes to the worst, they can go for a second-best choice. However, letting Gao Ge owe them one is definitely a good deal for the Shao Family.
Actually, this is also the benefit of becoming stronger.
If Gao Ge were not a swordsman at the realm of Master now, the Shao Family wouldn’t take his words seriously and they would even regard him as an idiot.
“What do you say?” As Tang Jiusi remains silent for quite a while, Gao Ge urges him.
Tang Jiusi coughs and looks a bit weird. “It is not that appropriate... After all, this is the business of the Tang Family.”
“Cut the crap. I can do you the favor. Just let me know about your decision,” Gao Ge says. “It’s better than being tortured for you. If the worst comes to the worst, you will owe me one then.”
Tang Jiusi suddenly feels confused.
Honestly, he was excited to hear Gao Ge say that at first. He wanted to agree but he still bit his tongue. All of a sudden, he has a feeling of loss.
Watching Tang Jiusi’s changing expression, Gao Ge wanted to scold him about his dallying but when he opens his mouth, he suddenly realizes something and then gives a weird smile. With a cough, he says, “It’s okay. No rush. After all, we are not leaving today. Think about it well. You may tell me about your decision later.”
After saying that, Gao Ge walks out.
While walking out, he has realized that he doesn’t need to ask the Shao Family for the favor.
