Gu Zhenkang was extremely confident as he waited for Gu Chaoyan’s acceptance.
Gu Chaoyan smiled and looked at Gu Zhenkang as if she were staring at an idiot. She said coldly, “Your favor? Who do you think you are?”
Gu Zhenkang was wearing a smile, but hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, he felt his face stiffen. He wondered if he had misheard her.
“What are you talking about?” Gu Zhenkang asked seriously.
“I am saying, who do you think you are?” Gu Chaoyan stressed word by word.
Gu Zhenkang was now aware that he did not mishear her. Gu Chaoyan did say something like this just now.
His expression sank immediately. A daughter born by a businesswoman was never smart, he thought.
He raised his hand and was about to slap Gu Chaoyan. “You ba**ard, what are you talking about?”
Gu Zhenkang’s hand had just risen when Sword One caught hold of it. So he could not make a move at all.
Xiu Jie had been watching the whole thing next to them, so he stood in front of Gu Zhenkang and glared back at him. He was going to press him down the moment he tried to do something.
Gu Chaoyan looked at the whole scene coldly.
“As far as I remember, I have already been removed from the Gu Family and my name no longer exists in the family tree. Since I am already out of the Gu Family, then I have nothing to do with you. Who do you think you are to be calling me a bastad? I am already engaged with Lord Huai and I am a future Princess Consort, are you cursing the imperial family?” Gu Chaoyan interrograted Gu Zhenkang without showing any expression.
Gu Zhenkang had not expected that Gu Chaoyan could be so arrogant. He got so angry that he pointed at Gu Chaoyan, but he could not move because he was gripped by someone.
He did not dare to say anything more, since Gu Chaoyan was right too.
Even though the whole Gu Mansion understood that Lord Huai and the Queen had already been disgraced, and that they were in an even worse situation than the Gu Family, Lord Huai was still one of the imperial family members. And as long as he was one of the imperial family members, the Gu Mansion could say nothing.
Gu Zhenkang was so angry. He did not expect that Gu Chaoyan, a woman driven out of the family, could be so arrogant.
“Gu Chaoyan, well, well, you are totally unrelated to the Gu Mansion right? Okay then, let’s see what you will end up being when me and your sister are no longer defending you,” Gu Zhenkang said with determination.
Lord Huai might be Lord Huai at the moment, but when Lord Ling took the throne, he would be nothing.
He was going to see what they would become.
“Then let’s wait and see, I would very much like to see how you will end up too,” Gu Chaoyan said with raised eyebrows and then she turned to Xiu Jie. “Get him out now.”
Xiu Jie, without hesitation, took hold of him and dragged him outside.
Qing looked at the two people’s retreating figures and said angrily, “Elder Miss, Officer Gu is way over the top. He looked down at Ms. Lin in the past for being a businesswoman, and now he looks down at you! He tried all types of methods just to marry Ms. Lin and yet he hated her and you too. How could he do something like this?”
Gu Chaoyan shook her head.
Gu Zhenkang had been a shameless man for more than one day!
“Just ignore him, he will turn out to be wrong soon,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
Xiu Jie had returned by this point.
Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly rather than dwelling upon Gu Zhenkang’s matter. “Xiu Jie, come and let’s talk about the medical clinic..”
