Hearing how Gu Ruxue spoke of her own Miss, Sword One stepped forward with her sword yet was stopped by Gu Chaoyan, who indicated that she did not have to do anything about it.
Sword One had to swallow her own anger. She used to work for Lord Huai and it had been she who bullied others rather than getting her Miss bullied. That was why she did not have a mild temper at all.
However, Gu Chaoyan did not care about that at all.
She understood what Gu Ruxue was like. She had been behaving very properly in front of her for some time, only because Lord Huai liked her medical skills, so she did not dare to irritate her. However, now the situation had changed. She was the girl spotted by Lord Ling and she was supposed to marry Lord Ling in the future. So of course, she did not care about this minor Gu Chaoyan who was only acknowledged for her medical skills.
Gu Chaoyan chose a place to sit down and showed no weakness like the original host did. She threw a nonchalant glance at Gu Ruxue. “I was out checking on the stores. Does Madame Gu think that those stores are too annoying? Then I can ask Sword One to tell Lord Huai that he can take all the stores, so I can stay at the Qiong Pavilion peacefully.”
Gu Ruxue snorted. This girl born of a business family was so narrow-minded. Stores were the only things she liked talking about. How vulgar!
But... But it did not matter if this ugly girl wanted to run the stores or not. She was going to marry Lord Ling in the future and Madam Gu was not going to be stingy with her. She was going to receive lots of dowries and that would need money too.
If Gu Chaoyan was willing to make money, just let her do that. That was one thing she could do for the Gu Mansion.
“If you are willing to run the stores, just do it.” Gu Ruxue said to Gu Chaoyan as if she were talking to a pathetic beggar. “That is the only thing you are able to do, as the daughter of a business family.”
The daughter of a business family?
Well, Gu Chaoyan was not angered by this title. In her opinion, she did not think that a social status like that was a bad thing. It would require a lot of competence to run a business well.
Also, when the Lin Family was still the imperial business family, they were one of the most famous wealthy families in the entire capital. She aimed at gaining the reputation and the revenue too!
She took a sip of tea.
Gu Chaoyan was quite satisfied with this goal, so she could not help but smile.
That was a smile noticed by Gu Ruxue. She thought that she was laughing at Prince of Duke Changning who failed to make the proposal for her.
Honestly, this ugly girl never expected any good things to happen to her. She must be very happy to get this trash that she had dumped.
However, even if she was not willing to take the trash, Gu Ruxue was not going to give it to the ugly girl.
She squinted at Gu Chaoyan. “I heard that Prince of Duke Changning asked you to marry him? You don’t think that you are going to marry him, do you?”
Gu Chaoyan threw a cold look at Gu Ruxue. Only now did she realize what Gu Ruxue’s real purpose was for being there, despite all the other things she said.
Oh yeah?
Gu Chaoyan was about to say something, when Gu Ruxue said disdainfully, “Duke Changning’s Mansion should have made the proposal to me, but Lord Ling’s side made a proposal with father too. However, even if I am not marrying into Duke Changning’s Mansion, I don’t think that you would wish so much to be a wife anyway right? The Gu Mansion is not going to make your wish come true.”
Hearing these words Sword One snapped out of anger. “To hell with the Prince. He does not deserve Miss, She is also going to marry...”
