Hearing Qing’s voice, Gu Chaoyan quickly came out of the space.
The Lin Family wanted to see her? What would the matter be?
Could it be because of Lin Jiashu’s physical condition?
No, it could not be possible. She believed that her medical skills were excellent enough not to leave any complications.
Gu Chaoyan could not figure out the matter, so she nodded. “Let’s meet them before we leave the mansion. We can just meet them at the front yard instead of here at the Qiong Pavilion.”
“Okay.” Qing replied.
Then they left for the front yard together.
In the front yard, Old Master and Mrs. Lin as well as Lin Jiashu were waiting for her anxiously.
The Old Master was absolutely unwilling to come to the doorstep of the Gu Family. However, for his son’s sake, they had no choice but to come to this place. Luckily, the Gu Family did not dare to drive them away because of Gu Chaoyan’s status.
However, the Old Master was still feeling uneasy.
Probably because he was at the Gu Mansion, or probably because they were going to ask Gu Chaoyan for a favor.
“Uncle, what do you need from me?” Gu Chaoyan asked as she approached them.
She did not hate her uncle. Apart from treating her nicely, Uncle at least showed up at the Government Office when she was arrested. So Gu Chaoyan showed respect to the Master of the Lin Family.
Seeing her approaching them, Mrs. Lin greeted her with a smile. She was in a totally different state compared to before, when she was really mean.
Gu Chaoyan found the whole thing weird. She dodged Mrs. Lin’s outstretched hand towards her and took a seat.
Mrs. Lin was not displeased either. She withdrew her hand and said with a smile, “We need your help, Chaoyan.”
The words had just been spoken when she pulled Lin Jiashu to her side. “Not about your cousin.”
“...”
“Jiashu is healthy now, and he is just like a normal boy. During the past few years, he might have been sick but he never idled about. He has done a lot of reading. So we were wondering if you can ask Lord Huai to get Jiashu a job at the office. It doesn’t have to be a high position, a normal one will do.” Mrs. Lin put forward the whole point straightforwardly.
She continued as she looked at Gu Chaoyan with a bright smile. “Chaoyan, I had not behaved properly before. I tried to stop your marriage. But now I figure that you are a very nice girl, so if you are willing to accept my son, we won’t stop you from getting married.”
Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan frowned deeply.
She was about to speak, when a furious and aged voice arose. “What marriage? Why am I not aware of anything about it?”
Madame Gu clicked the cane. Her face sunk.
She had no intention of meeting the Lin Family, but Cai Ming reminded her that she should check them out to see what the Lin Family wanted to get from Chaoyan.
That was why she was here.
Sure enough, she heard the Lin Family mentioning a marriage the moment she walked in the room.
She was glad that she was here! Otherwise the Lin Family would hoax the girl into doing something unexpected.
“What is going on? What marriage!” Madame Gu repeated the question with suppressed anger.
“It is a marriage between Chaoyan and Jiashu! Jiashu is healthy now. He is one year younger, but that is not a problem, right? They make a cute couple!” Mrs. Lin said.
Madame Gu threw a look at Lin Jiashu who was standing next to her.
“You mean him? He doesn’t work. We already have a better candidate for Chaoyan,” Madame Gu said with a proud smile on her face.
