1440 Gu Zhenkang’s Plan 1
So when he approached her and made the speech, he looked really relaxed, thinking that the whole thing would work out well.
Gu Zhenkang was holding his head up in the air, looking very proud.
Many of the ministers and officers were smirking at him behind his back when Gu Chaoyan opened the door to enchantment. They were waiting to laugh at the Gu Family. They were all calculating for their future. After all, they never liked the Gu Family, especially those from the noble families. They were not convinced by the Gu Family’s abilities.
Now Gu Zhenkang was going to make them regret their mocking.
Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl. Destiny Monk said that the Phoenix Girl was from the Gu Family. So Gu Chaoyan was the daughter of the Gu Family. And Gu Zhenkang was still a part of it.
The Gu Family was still as prosperous as before. The other families were of no comparison.
He came to Gu Chaoyan with his chin up in the air. He sounded very gentle, unlike before, when he spoke disdainfully. He was obviously cheerful. “Remember the message I gave you at Xinlin Mansion yesterday? The Gu Mansion has already arranged a yard for you to move in, in the main yard. If you like the southern yard, I can arrange for it to be fixed so that you can move in properly.”
Gu Chaoyan glanced at Gu Zhenkang when she heard him talking. She had been observing the jade sword.
She put away the jade sword, then she said coldly, “Officer Gu, have you forgotten that I have already been driven out of the family and my name is no longer on the family tree. I have established my own household in the capital.”
“…”
“So, am I even related to the Gu Mansion?” Gu Chaoyan asked with confusion. She looked at Gu Zhenkang as if he were a stranger.
She was surprised that Gu Zhenkang had no shame.
Gu Chaoyan snorted. “I was born to a businesswoman. I am not qualified enough to be related to the Gu Family who are literati. So, Officer Gu, leave me alone.”
She said it really loudly.
Some laughter arose next to them.
That was exactly what Gu Zhenkang had been saying to her before, and now Gu Chaoyan was just giving it back to him. The rest of the audience were just watching the show to see how the Old Master of the Gu Family was carrying the stone to smash his own feet.
They were really interested in seeing how Gu Chaoyan turned down the Gu Family.
Hearing the laughter, Gu Zhenkang looked embarrassed and annoyed, but he did not dare to vent his anger right now.
It was the Phoenix Girl he was faced with.
He had no choice but to pamper her.
He inhaled, then he forced a smile, saying with a small voice, “Chaoyan, it is not the right time for you to be stubborn and persistent. You are the Phoenix Girl, but I am your father. You should pay me filial piety, or the civilians would not accept you as the Phoenix Girl. If you hold a grudge against me, we can definitely talk about it later. I can do anything to make you satisfied.”
