“What?” Xie Yan asked. He felt a mess growing inside him too. Normally, he could do everything perfectly, but right now, what he thought was a minor matter became a barrier for him.
So he started to talk impatiently with Gu Zhenkang.
Gu Zhenkang, however, did not notice that slight change at all. He said disdainfully, “Gu Chaoyan’s birth mother was a businesswoman, a daughter born by a businesswoman is not worth Lord Ling at all.”
Xie Yan almost rolled his eyes at Gu Zhenkang.
If not for Destiny Monk’s words, none of Gu Zhenkang’s daughters were worth Lord Ling! So what was the difference?!
Despite what he thought inwardly, Xie Yan did not say that.
No matter which of the girls was the Phoenix Girl, they were both Gu Zhenkang’s daughters. If the rumor was right, Gu Zhenkang would have a totally different position. If Xie Yan wanted to stay by Lord Ling’s side, he should not offend Gu Zhenkang right now.
“It is fine, if you can’t make the decision, I will go and visit the Lin Family.” Xie Yan said and got up.
Gu Zhenkang was anxious. He wanted to stop him to tell him something, but did not dare to. In the end, he had to see him out without saying anything.
Then he said to Chen Fu. “Get someone to inform the Second Lady about this matter at Saint College. Ask her to come home if she can.”
Then he regretted it instantly. When Officer Xie was present, he focused too much upon Gu Chaoyan to think about Yunhe. Damn!
Xie Yan hurried directly to the Lin Mansion from the Gu Mansion.
It was such a minor matter that should be done today! If it was not solved properly, the Lord would become completely disappointed in him. So he barely had the time.
Luckily, the Lin Family was residing at the outskirts of the capital, not very far away. It only took him two fast hours to arrive at the Lin Mansion.
The Lin Mansion was not as enthusiastic about his arrival as Gu Zhenkang was.
As he came to the hall, Lin Jiaxing did not arrive until a while later. He said politely, “Anything I can do for you, Officer Xie?”
He did not greet him formally. Xie Yan was only Lord Ling’s strategist without a formal position. That title of Officer was just a polite way of addressing him.
Xie Yan did not care about that either. He needed to get his mission done, so he cut in straightforwardly, “Old Master, I am here to discuss the Elder Miss of the Gu Mansion. I just went to the Gu Family who told me that only you could decide on Elder Miss’s marriage. I was wondering if you are willing to marry Elder Miss to Lord Ling?”
Lin Jiaxing had a weird expression on his face. He knew what Lord Ling was like. He already had a Princess Consort and one concubine. Gu Ruxue was also going to be another concubine. So now he was asking for Chaoyan’s hand too? So she was going to be his servant concubine? Of course not! He was not going to ruin his sister’s child!
“Officer Xie, I am afraid that we are not worthy of Lord Ling.” Lin Jiaxing turned him down directly. “After Chaoyan was divorced, the Gu Mansion pushed her marriage affairs to us. Chaoyan is a girl with her own ideas and she is holding her own marriage certificate. If she is willing to marry Lord Ling, we won’t interfere with that. So go and ask the Elder Miss yourself, Officer Xie.”
