Chapter 497: Wait and See

Gu Zhenkang had intended to speak about something cheerful as sweat covered his head, but seeing Gu Chaoyan’s coldness, his expression sank slightly. However, he still tried to keep a smile. Well, Gu Chaoyan was annoying, but she managed to become Lord Huai’s Princess Consort, so he had to keep smiling for Lord Huai’s sake.

He gave out a small cough. “I heard that Princess Yunxi is going to be your witness whilst Madame Min will be your host?”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Gu Zhenkang was delighted.

The Gu Mansion was going to flourish. The Gu Mansion was definitely going to flourish under his management. He was going to prove what his father had said earlier was wrong!

Apart from the two lords, Princess Yunxi and Madame Min were now involved with them! What an honor! Madame Min was never that generous.

“If that is the case, you have to let your Third Sister be the assistant. She is not yet engaged, and she can take this opportunity to find some good suitors. You should help each other!” Gu Zhenkang’s eyes were rolling. He had to maximize his own profits.

Gu Chaoyan was annoyed. It was always annoying to speak with Gu Zhenkang.

“Princess Xunyang is the assistant.” Gu Chaoyan answered coldly.

Gu Zhenkang was startled for a second. Then he brought himself back.

Oh, it was Princess Xunyang!

“Oh, that is good, Princess Xunyang is good.” Gu Zhenkang said with a smile. “I never expected that you could be so lucky as to get married to Lord Huai, to get Princess Xunyang as your assistant, Princess Yunxi as your witness and Madame Min as your host…”

Gu Zhenkang looked surprised – everything was so strange! She was Ms. Lin’s daughter, someone born in a business family – how could she become someone like that?

Gu Chaoyan was wearing a very cold expression on her face. She stared directly at Gu Zhenkang. “You were determined that I was never going to become someone outstanding.”

“…”

“I told you that I would get prettier and marry someone with an extraordinary background and that I would stand out. Do you remember what you said?” Gu Chaoyan said sharply.

She stared at Gu Zhenkang with transfixed eyes.

Gu Zhenkang shivered.

In the past, when Prince Duke Changning came to break off the engagement, he did say something terrible.

“That was my duty to tell you all of that. I am your father!” Gu Zhenkang said with a guilty face. “And I wasn’t wrong either. So what if you marry Lord Huai, you are never going to be better than Ruxue, Ruxue is the Phoenix Girl, and she is going to be the Queen.”

“…”

“You should never cling to the past. I am caring about you now, because only by flattering Ruxue will you be able to have a wonderful life in the future,” Gu Zhenkang said with determination.

If not for Lord Huai, he would never flatter Gu Chaoyan – she was just a daughter born from a business family and did not deserve any concern from him.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang in surprise.

He knew that Gu Ruxue was going to be the Phoenix Girl… did Mrs. Gu tell him about that? The Phoenix Girl was going to be the queen?

Gu Chaoyan smiled brightly – she never believed those legends. One needed to conquer the world with capability, not with a title. Wars would not be there, if it was just a title that helped people to gain the world.

The Gu Family were way too simple-minded. She was not better than Gu Ruxue?

She was going to make Gu Zhenkang watch and see who was going to be the final winner.

“Then I will be very much looking forward to seeing if this Pheonix Girl will become the Queen,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
