1432 Gu Chaoyan? 3
He had never thought that Gu Chaoyan, the daughter he looked down at, who was born by Ms. Lin, a businesswoman, could one day become the Phoenix Girl!
And her attitude was going to influence the Gu Family’s future!
How ridiculous!
That was the most ridiculous thing ever!
Why must she, a businesswoman’s daughter, determine the family’s fate?
And he could not turn down this suggestion.
The Crown Prince had put it clearly – if he turned down this proposal, he might lose the support of the Crown Prince!
However, he still did not think that would be the result.
Looking at the Crown Prince, Gu Zhenkang said skeptically, “Crown Prince, Gu Chaoyan can’t be the one.”
“It is not yet confirmed. We are doing this for safety’s sake. You have to do this today!” Zhou Huailing hated to say anything more about it. It was the door to enchantment that had the say about whether she was the one, as Destiny Monk said.
Having said that, Zhou Huailing lost his patience as he turned to Junyi. “Arrange a wagon for my father-in-law to travel to Xinlin Mansion. I will be waiting here for the result.”
Junyi nodded.
He ordered the guards to take away Gu Zhenkang.
He had no choice to turn it down. He had to do it today.
Quickly they were on their way to Xinlin Mansion.
It was very quiet at Xinlin Mansion, just like usual. Gu Chaoyan was reading medical books in the room whilst Sword One served her the tea. Zhou Huaijin was working at the Shadow Door not far away.
Zhou Huaijin did not care if Gu Chaoyan was the one. The Shadow Door was already a strong support for him.
Gu Chaoyan had predicted this to happen.
She had already guessed that she would be the one on the day when Gu Ruxue failed, but what she needed to do right now was to think about how to get rid of the game of thrones.
Gu Chaoyan picked up the teacup and sipped.
A sound of door knocking arose from outside. It was Qing who said with a small voice, “Officer Gu from the Gu Mansion is here. He has something important to talk about with you, Elder Miss.”
Gu Chaoyan put down the teacup.
Officer Gu from the Gu Mansion? Gu Zhenkang, she meant?
He was right on time. He had driven her out of the family and never stopped mocking her. Now he was at the doorstep personally.
She sneered. “I am not meeting him.”
Qing had predicted this to happen. She nodded and passed on the message to Xiu Jie.
Qing could not make the decision as the maid, but Qing did not think that Elder Miss would want to meet him no matter what.
Gu Zhenkang was very displeased.
Not seeing him? Really?
He said to Xiu Jie directly, “Just tell your Elder Miss that I am here to talk business with her. Whether or not she is the Phoenix Girl, she should not bear the reputation of being driven out of the family. I am here to offer to write her name back in the family tree and take her home, offering her what the Elder Miss of the Gu Mansion should be offered.”
“…”
“Your Elder Miss has no idea what I am here for, thus turning me down. She will think about accepting my offer once she knows what I am here for.”
“…”
“Pass on the message to your Elder Miss, then come back to me.”
Gu Zhenkang sounded extremely confident as he said this to Xiu Jie.
Honestly speaking, he wasn’t that willing to do so, but that was the only thing he could do right now. He believed that Gu Chaoyan had taken advantage of the situation.
