NovelEnglishChapter 165: Gu Zhenkang’s Plan
As Gu Ruxue was mentioned, Gu Zhenkang instantly became happy. His anger was no longer apparent.
His mother told him that Gu Chaoyan was hanging out with Lord Huai these days, so he should treat her better if he expected to get something good out of her.
He also thought about demeaning himself by treating this ugly girl better, but now...
The son of the officer of the Ministry of Revenue was dead, and her marital arrangement was gone. What was more, she ruined the stores! That was why he got rather furious!
Also...
Even if Lord Huai needed her medical skills. So what? She was just going to be nothing more than a doctor! And she was going to be ignored when she was not needed.
Ruxue was different.
Thinking of what the ambassador of Lord Ling said, Gu Zhenkang was sure that Ruxue was going to have a more promising future!

Gu Ruxue had been watching the show happily when she suddenly heard what her father said about her. She got confused. Could it have been because of Prince who just woke up? What was her father thinking about her?
Anyway, Gu Ruxue found herself back in her original position again.
She threw a look of pride to Gu Chaoyan.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Madame Gu could not sit still any more, but stood up and came to Gu Chaoyan with her cane supporting her. “Don’t blame your father. He is just too anxious.”
“...”
“But you should learn from this lesson too. The Gu Family have been running the stores for so many years and you sold them without telling us! I am not helping you this time, receive the punishment.” Madame Gu was very displeased. “You better get those stores back!”
Gu Chaoyan was just in the middle of thinking about Gu Zhenkang’s suddenly changed attitude, when she brought herself back. Hearing what Madam Gu said, she turned cold.
How shameless these people are! They really think that they are the owner of the dowries!
Getting the stores back? Never!
Since the Gu Family cared so much about the money, she could instill some hope into them. With her eyes upon Madame Gu, Gu Chaoyan said with a serious tone. “I am never getting anything back from Lord Huai.”
“...”
“But Lord Huai would not treat us badly. We sold the stores to him, so he offered something profitable back. Lord Huai is going to use the stores to open a restaurant, and half of the revenue will belong to us.”
“...”
“Just think about it, Madame Gu. Those stores were running a bleak business before...”
“...”
“Now we are working with Lord Huai. Do you think that he will earn less money than us?”
“...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Chaoyan said those tempting words.
That moved Madam Gu as well.
When the Lin Family lost the position as the imperial business family, the Gu Mansion lost its supporters. Those stores could not be developed well without supporters... so Lord Huai’s involvement was definitely going to boost up the revenue!
“He is really offering half of the income?” Madame Gu asked.
“Yes.”
“That sounds good.” Madame Gu became expectant again. If the Gu Family could get enough money, they could use the money to help Zhenkang to get some promotion in career.
Then she glared at Gu Zhenkang, suggesting that he should not lecture Gu Chaoyan any more.
Gu Zhenkang snorted, leaving Gu Chaoyan alone.
Since the issue of the stores was solved, Madame Gu asked Gu Chaoyan to go back to her pavilion first and leave Mrs. Gu to deal with the rest.
Then she asked Gu Zhenkang to join her in the room.
The moment they stepped into the room, she asked her son seriously, “What is wrong with you? I told you to treat the girl nicely, otherwise she would not help you in the future!”
