Chapter 264 Maid Madam! ?
Chapter 264 Maid Madam! ?
Seeing Gu Chen’s clear refusal, Piero felt helpless.
After sighing slightly, Piero stood still and looked at Gu Chen solemnly again:
“Since Lord Gu Chen is so resolute, we can only let this matter go for now.
I have clearly conveyed Her Majesty's intention.
Next, I need to apologize to you on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen."
When it came to this part, Gu Chen couldn't help but interrupt Piero briefly:
"Wait, wait, apologize to me?
Did something go wrong?
I don't need you to apologize. You haven't offended me much.
You should apologize to the entire Liyue.
And if I remember correctly, your compensation should have arrived.
Didn’t you pay Liyue a large amount of compensation in the form of goods, materials, and technology?
Why do I have to apologize again and again when I come here?"
In response to Gu Chen's question, Piero said solemnly:
"Liyue is Liyue, and you are you.
Although the two are deeply involved, they are different after all.
We at Zhidong have already paid all the compensation for Liyue.
But we still have to express our due apologies to you, Lord Gu Chen.
After all, it was us, the Fatui, who caused you a lot of trouble in the Osel incident.
Besides, that's what he meant.
If we cannot obtain your forgiveness, our transaction with him cannot proceed."
Piero's words left most people present a little confused.
Paimeng, who was beside Gu Chen, scratched his head and couldn't help complaining:
"I can barely understand that you have to apologize for causing trouble for Gu Chen.
But who is he?
Why can't I continue trading with Gu Chen if I can't get his forgiveness?
What is the so-called deal?"
It has to be said that Paimeng’s complaints were the question in the minds of most people at the scene.
However, most of the people present were not qualified to ask, so everyone could only remain silent and let the doubts fill their hearts.
Paimeng's complaints actually brought out the same questions that everyone had.
When Gu Chen heard what Piero said, he was a little confused at first.
But soon, he was blessed and understood Piero's implication.
Could the "he" Piero just mentioned be Zhongli?
The deal with Zhongli? Could it be the Heart of God?
Very possible.
After all, it takes more than an ordinary person to control the Fatui.
Now, besides himself, the only one who can clearly control the Fatui is Zhongli.
And last time when we were watching a play at Heyu Teahouse and chatting with Zhongli, Zhongli also mentioned that the Heart of God had not yet been handed over to Zhidong.
For some reason, Zhongli has never reached an agreement with the Fatui, and the Heart of God has never been traded.
Tsk, could it be that I was the one who didn't reach an agreement? Could it be that this was the apology the Fatui were trying to show now?
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more he associated it, the more he understood a lot of things.
Accompanied by that familiar feeling of being cheated, Gu Chen immediately understood.
At that time, didn’t Zhongli say mysteriously that he was about to receive a gift?
He also said that the gift was not given by him, but was given to him by someone else.
Now it seems that this is exactly the case!
What the Fatui will call an apology next is most likely what Zhongli was talking about as a gift!
Good man, what on earth did this old Deng do behind his back?!
The feeling of being cheated is still the same as always!
Gu Chen, who basically understood everything, now looked a little gloomy.
But he turned the corner.
No matter what, you are the one who benefits.
Since the Fatui are willing to apologize, let them do so. He happens to be somewhat interested in this.
After understanding this, Gu Chen's expression softened. He looked at Piero calmly:
"Well, how are you going to apologize?
Why not talk about it first and show your sincerity.
Depending on how sincere you are, I will consider whether to forgive you."
Hearing that Gu Chen was willing to accept this apology, Piero felt relieved:
"Lord Gu Chen, our method of apology this time has also been approved by Her Majesty the Queen.
I believe you will be very satisfied with our apology."
Piero still had a stern face. He didn't do anything else but clapped his hands.
As the sound of his clapping spread, three people appeared from the corner of the next street.
The two on the left and right among these three people are the ladies hiding the mirror.
The focus is not the two ladies hiding the mirror, the focus is the figure in the middle guarded by the two maids hiding the mirror!
When Gu Chen turned his head and saw the person in the middle, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This person is tall, slim, with a pretty face and a cool temperament. She has golden hair that is tied up.
The point is, this person was wearing an unconventional maid outfit, and her legs under the maid skirt were wearing black stockings of just the right thickness.
Her overall outfit perfectly suits her figure and temperament.
In short, the cool and beautiful maid who walked towards Gu Chen was actually a lady!
That’s right, the Eighth Fatui Executor, ma’am!
I don’t know who persuaded her to come here wearing a maid outfit. I don’t know either, and I don’t dare to ask.
As for why she came here in such a formal manner wearing a maid outfit, I didn't dare to ask!
As the lady in maid form slowly walked over, Gu Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At the first moment, a storm of thoughts occurred in his head:
What on earth is the lady doing?
In public, she runs around wearing clothes that don't seem particularly decent. Does she still have any shame?
Everyone knows how proud and arrogant the lady is. Normally, she seems to look down on everyone.
But today, she appeared in front of everyone wearing a maid outfit!
She is either crazy or has a problem with her brain!
and many more!
Could it be that this lady in the state of a maid is the apology that Piero mentioned?
A compensation gift... for me!?
The lady had already arrived in front of Gu Chen.
Under the incredulous gazes of Gu Chen and Paimeng, and the puzzled gaze of Shen He, she lifted the hem of her skirt towards the three of them and performed an elegant etiquette:
"Meet the three... masters!"
My goodness, when Gu Chen heard the name "master", he got goose bumps on his back.
It's not that Gu Chen can't bear this title, it's mainly because... it's too inconsistent with the lady's usual personality! Gu Chen feels that something is wrong!
And Gu Chen could hear it, whether it was the lady's current dress and demeanor, or the trembling voice when the lady called master just now.
All these reflect that the woman is extremely unwilling and even extremely suppressed in her grief and anger.
What's wrong with a lady like this?
Gu Chen, who was a little restless, couldn't help but ask Piero:
"Is this a lady!?"
