60: Lord Huai's Words

Lord Huai's Words

Seeing the scene, Madame Gu took up the cane and flung it at Gu Zhenkang as she bellowed. "What are you talking about? Chaoyan did not do it on purpose."1

Not on purpose, so Madam Gu was putting the blame on her.

The old Gu Chaoyan would have assumed that Madam Gu was on her side, but now…

She noticed that when Madam Gu was hitting Gu Zhenkang, she was showing a big gesture but no force at all. She had obviously agreed with what Gu Zhenkang said. Madame Gu was indeed smart. She was making use of her, but did not want to favor her either. She definitely panicked when Gu Zhenkang bellowed at her, she had wished so much that none of the accident had happened.

Unfortunately, she was not the old Gu Chaoyan any more.

Standing right on the spot, she showed no sense of panic or guilt.

"You all know pretty well that I rode with the Wang Family. If you are so kind, why not wait at the doorstep of the mansion so that you can invite her in yourselves. I am not on the same level as Madame Wang, so it is against the rules for me to ever invite her in. As for what happened at the Huo Family… Miss. Huo and the Second Sister claimed that I offended Miss. Huo, but the misunderstanding had been cleared. How come I offended the Huo Family anyway? Are you so dumb in the head too, Father?" Gu Chaoyan said calmly with her chin raised.

Gu Zhenkang panicked too. He had no idea how to reply to her.

They knew that Gu Chaoyan rode with the Wang Family back home, but they themselves did not go to greet the Wang Family. So when they heard from Chen Fu that Madame Wang refused to walk in, they forced all the blame upon Gu Chaoyan.

The words she said were all true, but Gu Zhenkang was still angry because of the arrogant air he was holding. He pointed at Gu Chaoyan and was about to bellow at her when Madame Gu snapped with real anger. "Shut up!"

Gu Zhenkang got both surprised and angry.

During the past few years, he had been used to being the master of everything in the mansion, but he did not dare to snap back at his mother. So he just stood there in displeasure.

Madame Gu was angry too. She had only one son, who turned out to be dumb.

This girl was not only under the defence of the Wang Family nowadays. She was talking with Lord Huai too! That would be a huge potential opportunity for the Gu Family. They had intended to frighten her so they could get her weak point, but now it seemed to be a bit difficult to do so. If that was the case, she was not to be offended. How stupid her son had been not to understand this point! No wonder he never got promoted at his position!

"Chaoyan, these were not your fault. Your father was not present so he knows nothing, don't mind his words, alright?" Madame Gu showed a friendly look. "What did Lord Huai say to you today?"

True, they were concerned about what Lord Huai said.

She was definitely not going to tell Madam Gu what they were talking about. So she just showed a brief smile. "Nothing very special, just some things about diseases. Lord Huai told me to keep my mouth sealed."

Mouth sealed? Madame Gu now understood that it must be something important.

She twisted her band subconsciously and continued. "You can keep your mouth sealed to the outsiders, but we are a family, so you can definitely share."

"You really want to know?" Gu Chaoyan asked.
