Ms. Doctor Divine

Gu Zhenkang had always disliked Gu Chaoyan, and right now, he truly had no intention of sparing her. He looked twisted and furious.

Mrs. Gu was chuckling inwardly – someone was finally able to punish her! She deserved this for what she did to her back in the court!

Hearing that her son was going to beat Chaoyan, Madame Gu got so anxious that she kept making unclear noises in the chair, but she was suffering from her stroke so she could not utter a clear word at all.

Gu Zhenkang was annoyed by her noise, so he ignored her totally.

However, Gu Chaoyan was not at all anxious. Standing motionlessly in composure, she said calmly after a short while. “Princess Gu was the Princess of the King, but was having an affair with some other man. That was a sin that could have gotten all of us killed.”

“…”

“However, everyone in the Gu Mansion is doing fine, only because I turned to Lord Huai for help.”

“…”

“Now you are going to beat me?”

“…”

“Sure, then I can tell Lord Huai’s men to tell Lord Huai about this.”

“…”

“Then he can withdraw this favor.” Gu Chaoyan showed a brief smile. Beating her? Sorry, Gu Zhenkang was not even qualified to do so.

Having finished speaking, she stood there composedly.

Gu Chaoyan was dressed in a set of plain-colored dress with no ornaments in her hair. Her hairstyle was quite simply done.

A strange feeling flashed across Gu Zhenkang’s eyes. He found that something different had happened to this daughter he always disliked. She was no longer as ugly as before, and as she stood on the spot, she was showing a brief smile, looking very intimidating.

He seemed to have seen someone inside her… Namely the deceased Old Master of the Lin Family.

Old Master Lin had such an intimidating air in him as well, one that made people feel rather guilty.

He was totally aware of the punishment, since Princess Gu was having affairs with some other man. However, why should he show any gratitude towards this girl who had saved the whole family’s life? She was the girl he hated most.

Gu Zhenkang felt so suffocated with anger.

Faced with Gu Zhenkang’s changing expressions that showed how he wanted to beat her yet how he feared death too, Gu Chaoyan lost her patience and said, “Are you still going to beat me? If not, I am going to take a break at the Qiong Pavilion.”

Gu Zhenkang glared at her fiercely, but he could not utter a word.

Mrs. Gu was not convinced. “B***h, you are not leaving!”

Gu Chaoyan was about to say something when Chen Fu hurried in. “Madame Gu, Old Master, Mrs. Gu, the Zhang Family are here! They are making a fuss at the door!”

What?! Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded. What were they doing there?

When she turned to Zhang Liangyi, the Zhang Family already came to an agreement with her. They wanted fortune too, and they should have understood the potential risk! Now Zhang Liangyi was dead, she should not be blamed for that! She had not planned to get her nephew killed either!

Mrs. Gu was thinking this as anxiety hovered over her face.

Gu Zhenkang looked very impatient. “What are they doing here?” Then he glared at Mrs. Gu, “Aren’t they your family? What are they doing here? I am not qualified enough to help them right now, since we ourselves are in trouble!”

Gu Zhenkang might have despised Mrs. Lin for her identity as a businesswoman, and thought that Mrs. Gu was a great match for him, yet he never had the intention of allowing her family to make a fuss here at his own home.

“Oh yes, father, sorry for not reminding you before. It was the Young Master of the Zhang Family who was having an affair with Princess Gu.”
