"Understood." The servant answered when he caught Gu Zhenkang's gaze and went to fetch the tool.

Gu Zhenkang did not want to see Gu Chaoyan's face for even one second, because her face scared him. He feared that Gu Ruxue would become equally ugly in the future. Ruxue was considered as the prettiest girl in the entire city. She was the hope of the whole Gu Family and was the princess-to-be.

"Miss." Qing was shivering. She was obviously scared. The next second, she kneeled down on the ground and started to kowtow. "Old Master, punish me instead. Don't punish my mistress. It's not her fault!"

Qing kept kowtowing, because she was indeed worried. When her miss was a young girl, she had accidentally pushed Miss Ruxue in excitement, causing her a little injury. The Old Master had become so worried that he beat her terribly at that time. Her mistress could not get out of bed for months post that incident.

Seeing Qing's behaviour, Gu Chaoyan remembered that she had hated this kind of a feeble woman in her previous life.

But Qing was protecting her with all she had, and that moved Chaoyan to tears and warmed her heart. She took a step forward and pulled Qing up from the ground. "Get up, we do not have to kneel in front of this foolish man."

"Miss, have you forgotten how you almost died because of the beating that year. Let's beg him. Please Old Master, have mercy." Qing panicked.

She could not let her young miss get punished again.

"Get up, Qing!" She sounded determined.

Qing was startled and got up out of reflex. She stared at Gu Chaoyan, transfixed. Oh, she sounded so powerful!

"What is going on?" Madame Gu's annoyed voice reached them. She had just started to relax when she heard about the situation. She had no choice but to go and check it out. After all, Chaoyan was now related to the Wang Family, and she could not be trampled upon like before. She knew what her son was capable of, clever in small things but stupid in major stuff. He had pinned all his hopes on Ruxue, but he did not realize that Gu Chaoyan was also of some value now.

She was flanked by Gu Xiuying and Gu Caiqin on each side. In order to show their love towards their grandma, they were holding Madame Gu's forearms.

Gu Chaoyan sneered.

When she came home a while ago, neither of them was present. But when she was going to be thrashed, they were here to watch the show.

Unfortunately, the beating would not take place today.

Gu Zhenkang was looking at Gu Chaoyan in anger. "Mom, this impolite girl doesn't want to treat Ruxue even though my poor daughter is suffering. Worse, she dares to mock her and me. She has an evil heart and doesn't care about our reputation. She is hoping that Ruxue would become as ugly as she is. I have to beat her to death today!"

Madame Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan with a pair of unfriendly eyes.

Gu Chaoyan was standing there with her back straight.

She might have felt furious or wronged in the past, but that Gu Chaoyan was long gone.

She held no emotional connection with the Gu Family.

Gu Zhenkang was a father with a terrible heart and he disgusted her.

She was the one who had made Gu Ruxue's face get rashes. It was her punishment for bullying Qing. She did not give her a potent drug and Gu Ruxue would become better soon. But these people didn't know that.

If they wanted her to treat Gu Ruxue, she would do it, but on her own terms.

Although Gu Chaoyan was now related to the Wang Family, Madame Gu would still give preference to Gu Ruxue, after all.

She asked. "Chaoyan, can you treat your sister's rashes?"

Gu Chaoyan nodded. "Yup."

"But you are not willing to?" Madame Gu looked serious.

"I am, only on one condition."
