Shameless Beyond Measure

Gu Shiyan was stunned by his shameless words. Although she had always known they were shameless, his blatantly manipulative words were truly beyond measure.

She hadn't even said a word yet, but the onlookers were already discussing.

"Oh my! So you're saying that Miss Gu was able to solve the Hegemon's Checkmate because she looked at Young Master Gu's annotated manual."

"According to this, the Hegemon's Checkmate was actually solved by Young Master Gu, and Miss Gu stole his accomplishment."

"That must be it! Young Master Gu is renowned for his love of chess. Has anyone ever heard of Miss Gu being skilled in chess? Even if given a hundred years of practicing, she still wouldn't be able to solve the Hegemon's Checkmate."

Listening to their discussions, Gu Qingci couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. This was exactly what he wanted. Even if the Hegemon's Checkmate was really solved by her, so what? He could figure out a way to claim credit for it. It was rightfully his.
