1487 Different Chaoyan 1
Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s reply, Gu Zhenkang could not help but feel relieved, showing a look of relaxation. He tried his best to get Gu Chaoyan back to the mansion, because he wanted the Crown Prince and the King to know that Gu Mansion was of great importance and could not be ignored. As long as that idea stuck with the King and the Crown Prince, then the Gu Family would be able to keep its status and reputation as it was now.
He got really nervous when Chen Fu told him that the Elder Miss refused to meet the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince blamed him for that, he would be put in a very bad position.
Luckily… She was willing to have the meeting.
Also, her requests were just very small, like changing a yard or so. Those were all small things. Gu Mansion had those yards, and the servants could all fix them properly.
Receiving Gu Chaoyan’s approval, Gu Zhenkang smiled and led the way, as he babbled. “The Crown Prince has been here for a long while, and we have been delayed for a while. He has waited for too long. Let’s hurry up so that he won’t have to wait much longer, okay?”
When Gu Ruxue was considered as the Phoenix Girl, Gu Zhenkang would stand with a straight back in front of the Crown Prince, but he was not like that any longer. He was worried that the Crown Prince would blame him out of anger for any little thing causing the whole mansion to collapse.
For example now…
However, despite what was going on in front of her… Gu Chaoyan still looked very composed. She was following quietly behind Gu Zhenkang, looking not at all in a hurry to get there. Gu Zhenkang was so anxious but he could do nothing about Gu Chaoyan, who was no longer a girl that he could manipulate.
After a long while, they finally arrived at the hall.
Zhou Huailing was not showing any impatience as he was seated in the hall. Instead, he smiled when he saw Gu Chaoyan. He approached her, saying, “Hello, Lady Chaoyan.”
Gu Chaoyan in the past was tanned, chubby and ugly, a bullet for every man to dodge, including a lord like Zhou Huailing, but things were different at the moment.
Gu Chaoyan still had the red birthmark on her nose, but she had lost a lot of weight, and her skin was fair. She had an air of composure about her, which made her appear mystical and attractive.
Zhou Huailing had once fallen for Gu Chaoyan, but he was blinded by Gu Ruxue’s fraud, assuming that Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, thus dropping Gu Chaoyan and going for Gu Ruxue.
Well…
Everything was fine now.
Gu Ruxue, the annoying woman, was not the Phoenix Girl. Gu Chaoyan was.
Although he knew that he might need more energy to get her to marry him, he was very willing to make the effort. Gu Chaoyan looked quiet and cold, but she was a pure girl, unlike Gu Ruxue who even slept with someone else before she married him. Gu Ruxue did not know how to be in charge of a mansion, and she behaved badly in front of him, and even hit people. She even shouted at his mother Honored Princess Jing. She was not the Phoenix Girl. She was just a worn-out shoe.
Chaoyan was different, however.
