Gu Yang remembered that in the novel, Ruan Chu committed suicide because she was provoked by Ruan Yan due to severe depression.
The reason why Ruan Yan did that was because Old Man Ruan left all his inheritance to Ruan Chu.
Others may not be able to see it, but Gu Yang could see it. Ruan Chu seemed to be only mildly depressed now, but in fact she was already severely depressed. She was suppressing herself because she didn’t want the old man to worry about her.
This was also why, as soon as the old man passed away in the book, Ruan Chu’s depression reached a level that even medication could not control.
Gu Yang sighed softly in her heart.
She had traveled through the book, so she had to bear all the blame for her original body. Since Ruan Chu’s depression was caused by her, she should help her.
It was just that the original body had a bad relationship with Ruan Chu, so she couldn’t ruin her character setting too much.
Seeing Ruan Chu sitting at the tea table drinking tea, Gu Yang had an idea and walked over to sit opposite her. She poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, imitated the original green tea’s tone, and smiled: “I envy my cousin so much. Our grandfather taught you the art of tea making. But the taste seems to be similar to the tea I brew casually.”
Ruan Chu’s hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and she looked coldly at Gu Yang opposite her, saying sarcastically: “Your green tea art is really good.”
This tea art was not that tea art.
At this time, Mr. Ruan, who had just returned from a private conversation with Gu Jin, also heard the conversation between Gu Yang and Ruan Chu and looked at Gu Yang with even more displeasure.
He was afraid that Gu Yang would bully Ruan Chu, so he took Gu Jin and sat on the futon beside the tea table. He snorted at Gu Yang, “What a big tone! I want to see how good your tea art is. Can you compare with Xiao Chu with just a simple brew?”
Mr. Ruan was very protective of his people.
Gu Jin also raised her eyes lazily, as if she was watching a good show.
Gu Yang didn’t mind having two more people present, but not everyone could appreciate her tea art.
“What if my tea art is better than my cousin’s?” Gu Yang blinked.
Old Master Ruan seemed to have heard something funny. “Nonsense! Xiao Chu has been influenced by me since she was young, and her tea art has been praised by many tea ceremony masters. No one among the famous ladies in Jincheng can compare to Xiao Chu. How can a little girl like you compare to my Xiao Chu?”
Gu Yang’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this old man was quite narcissistic.
“What if, Grandpa, you have to give me some reward, right?” Gu Yang blinked, still looking gentle and well-behaved.
Mr. Ruan snorted coldly: “If your tea art is really better than Xiao Chu’s, then I will give you my treasured purple clay tea set!”
Gu Yang knew that the purple clay tea set the old man was talking about was not only an antique, but also his most precious tea set. So, she reminded him, “Grandpa, how about changing the bet?”
As a tea lover, she knew the significance of this tea set to the old man. However, it was also because she was also a tea lover that this tea set had a strong appeal to her.
If it really fell into her hands, she won’t feel bad and return it.
“No need!” Mr. Ruan loved tea and had been immersed in the tea ceremony all his life. He had a high level of attainment in the tea ceremony and was very confident in his granddaughter, whom he had personally taught. “However, since this is a bet, if you are not as good as Xiao Chu, you will have to pay the price for your arrogance. I don’t want anything from you, I just want you to apologize to Xiao Chu.”
Mr. Ruan had been holding that breath.
“Okay.” Gu Yang agreed readily, and then looked at Gu Jin, her eyebrows slightly curved: “Sister, do you want to bet with me too? If I lose, I will play the piano for you every day.”
