NovelEnglishChapter 307: Gu Zhenkang’s Idea
Instead of moving, Gu Chaoyan sat there quietly, looking very cold. She frowned even more deeply and answered calmly, “Maids are supposed to serve the tea.”
Zhou Huaiyu, who had been very displeased, was now smiling. He had been thinking that something was wrong with the Gu Mansion, but he had not sensed what was wrong. Now when Chaoyan was here, he finally understood what was wrong – Gu Zhenkang was a literati and an officer in the court, but he did not even know how to behave properly! He asked his daughter to serve the tea for him! Even if that daughter of his was born by a concubine, she was still a lady, not a maid.
He suddenly felt that everything was better, and even the air too as he was seated here. However, he found that the two extra people in the hall were quite annoying. “Officer Gu, and Lady Gu, just get down to your business, me and Elder Miss have our own business to talk about.”
Gu Zhenkang’s flattering face stiffened, and he did not utter any more words.

Gu Xiuying stomped her feet and glared at Gu Chaoyan. She was very displeased.
Why! Why was she asked to go out when Gu Chaoyan was here? It was she who spent so much time with the Lord today! Trash Gu Chaoyan, she was so annoying.
Gu Zhenkang pulled her away directly, even if she did not want to leave.
“Finally, I am feeling better.” Zhou Huaiyu stretched his arms and said.
“Where is my stuff?” Gu Chaoyan reached out and cut straight to the topic without any polite words.
Zhou Huaiyu almost burst into coughs when he just relaxed. “Can you be a little bit more implicit? Why are you asking me for money the moment we are meeting? We should chit chat first.” Zhou Huaiyu complained with dissatisfaction.
In this land, every woman behaved gently and nicely when they saw him. They all wanted to show what they were capable of in front of him, but Gu Chaoyan was different. She was treating him like air and thinking about money! She was totally different from that flattering dad of hers.
Hearing what Zhou Huaiyu said, Gu Chaoyan squinted at him and said, “Are you trying to get away with it?”
Zhou Huaiyu, who was in the middle of drinking tea, spilled it directly. What was this woman thinking anyway?

Gu Chaoyan was already counting the money. After that, she answered indifferently. “I was not sure alright, it is not a small figure.”
Zhou Huaiyu felt very furious. He had never been so pissed before. He stood up instantly. “The money is here, I am off.” Damn, he should not have been so kind-hearted as to deliver the money here personally. He should have asked one of his guards to do it, that would have been enough.
Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him and put the money into her space. She dusted herself up and was about to leave for the Jiang Mansion.
She had just left the hall when Gu Zhenkang stopped her. “How did you get to know Lord Yu?”
“At Saint College.” Gu Chaoyan answered coldly.
Oh yah, there. So the lord treated her well because she was from the Gu Family.
“Your sister Xiuying is soon going to be an adult and I think that she looks cute together with Lord Yu. Do remember to mention her often in front of Lord Yu.” Gu Zhenkang stated.
