Chapter 187: Sure About That?

When the Gu Family were bullying her, Madame Gu had been defending her at least.

Therefore she could let her go, but it seemed that right now, Madame Gu was trying to make her mother’s dowries Gu Ruxue’s dowries instead. Gu Chaoyan could ignore other small errands, but she was never going to allow her to touch anything of Mrs. Lin.

If Madam Gu was sure about that, then Gu Chaoyan was definitely not going to spare any mercy for her.

Hearing what Gu Chaoyan asked, Madame Gu had other thoughts. She thought that Gu Chaoyan was unconvinced. She thought that Gu Chaoyan was so proud that she thought that she could marry someone extraordinary.

Madame Gu knew that when Lord Huai liked her medical skills, he could possibly appoint someone great for her. However, no matter what kind of person he was going to appoint to her, that person would not exceed Lord Ling anyway. That was what Madam Gu was certain about. So she said, “Chaoyan, don’t bear too many things in mind from now on.”

“...”

“It is true that Lord Huai has spotted your medical skills, but you are not irreplaceable, are you? Lord Huai will not care about you any more, if someone better pops up. At that time, your sisters will be the only ones that help you out.”

“...”

“So Chaoyan, be practical, and stop dreaming!”

“...”

“Also, you are a divorced girl.”

“...”

“When your Second Sister enters Lord Ling’s Mansion and becomes the Third Princess, she will help you with your marriage.” Madame Gu said convincingly. If not for Lord Huai’s relationship with this girl, Madame Gu would never have the patience to give her such an explanation.

It was clear who the Gu Mansion should focus upon.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. She nodded not because she had promised anything, but because she knew what she was going to do in the future.

However, Madame Gu thought that she nodded because she agreed with what she said.

She smiled and nodded in satisfaction. This girl was, after all, obedient.

She had no choice any more but to stay obedient. A girl needed her family to help her, so she had to nod. That was what Madame Gu was sure about.

She waved her hand. “Alright, good that you got it. Go and arrange your own business. Your mother was the daughter of a business family, and it is great that you run the stores. We are all literatis who might not know something. Just leave now.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded, then she left. She continued to walk towards the stores.

Sword One was angry and started to complain as she reached the wagon. “Miss, Madame Gu is so horrible!” She was bullying her miss.

Gu Chaoyan was not angry.

“Alright, I know what Madame Gu is like. I am not sad at all. Let’s just focus on the restaurant. The money gained from the restaurant depends upon us right?” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

What Gu Chaoyan said reminded her so Sword One laughed. “Miss, so you never planned to give her any money?”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Just let Madame Gu continue with her daydream. The higher she flew, the bigger the pain would be when she fell. Therefore, she had no reaction to what that old woman said.

Sword One thought that her Miss was way too evil, but that was great.

As they were talking they got to the stores.

Gu Chaoyan was about to go inside when another gang of stores came along. They ignored Gu Chaoyan but kicked the door open. “Who is the manager, Come out! We need to speak with him!”

“...”

“You are really bold people to open a restaurant here, don’t you know what this place is?”
