Although he claimed that he was discussing something with her, Gu Zhenkang looked so arrogant that he seemed to be sure that Gu Chaoyan would say yes to everything he requested.
He started to drink the tea Qing served him.
Gu Chaoyan was still very composed.
Gu Zhenkang was not a person with a heart and love, and he came to her because what he wanted to discuss with her was something only Gu Chaoyan was able to achieve.
Gu Chaoyan asked calmly. “What is it?”
Gu Zhenkang, who was still drinking the tea, heard Gu Chaoyan’s words. He seemed quite calm. He then said, “I was not present at Spring Hunt yesterday, but I heard a story. On the pitch of Spring Hunt, you guided out a phoenix with a flute, but you are a minor person, so even if you have a phoenix with you, it wouldn’t work. So I am here today to ask you to teach your sister Ruxue how to do that?
“It would be totally beneficial for Lord Ling’s Mansion, the Gu Mansion as well as yourself. I have driven you out of the family, but you are still my daughter, so I am here asking you for a favor, which you have to agree to.” Gu Zhenkang stressed with an intimidating tone.
Gu Chaoyan sneered. No wonder Gu Zhenkang came to her so early in the morning. He was asking for a favor like this!
The reason why Gu Zhenkang was not present at the pitch the day before was because he was not qualified enough to be present. Therefore, he had no idea what really happened the day before.
So he was here now because Gu Ruxue asked him to. Unfortunately, Gu Ruxue thought too highly of Gu Zhenkang and Gu Zhenkang thought too highly of himself.
Did he believe that just because he had fathered a child, that person should obey him no matter what?
Well, Gu Zhenkang’s daughter would obey him, but his daughter was already dead in the lake of Duke Changning’s Mansion. Gu Chaoyan right now would not do this favor for him. She was already out of his mansion!
Gu Zhenkang, obviously, did not understand this point.
“So you asked me to teach Gu Ruxue how to call a phoenix, so that Gu Ruxue can use this method to call a phoenix herself?” Gu Chaoyan asked expressionlessly.
Gu Zhenkang nodded seriously. He had not seen what a phoenix looked like, and had no idea what on earth had happened, but after hearing what Ruxue and Lord Ling said about this and how important it was to have this thing done successfully, he believed that he should get the mission done properly.
Hearing what Gu Chaoyan asked him, Gu Zhenkang was afraid that she would say no so he added. “I am asking you for a favor and I will not forget about this. As long as you are willing to do this favor for us, I will think about letting you back in the Gu Family, or maybe paying you some money. In the meanwhile, I, as well as the Gu’s Mansion, will remember this favor.”
Gu Zhenkang looked at Gu Chaoyan.
She was lucky enough to have Lord Huai who was willing to marry her, but just because she was going to marry Lord Huai did not mean that she would have any big achievements in the future and she would need to live with the help of Ruxue.
Gu Zhenkang believed that Gu Chaoyan would be willing to do something for this special favor..
