Ms. Doctor Divine

"No way!" Mrs. Gu denied that directly. "The Lin Family, the business family, are eating at our place? That is so humiliating? What do they think our mansion is?"

Mrs. Gu felt very disgusted when she heard about the Lin Family.

She would have driven the Lin Family out in the past, so she believed that it was already very nice of them to let the Lin Family come in. And yet they wanted to stay for lunch? That was impossible.

Hearing the response, Chen Fu decided to pass on the message to Gu Chaoyan.

After taking a few steps, he was dragged back by Gu Zhenkang. "Don't go there. Mrs. Gu is confused, and you are all following her orders?"

Gu Zhenkang threw a look at Mrs. Gu.

She was right. The Lin Family did not have the right to stay here for lunch, but Gu Chaoyan must have arranged this, and if they objected, Gu Chaoyan might make a scene.

If she left with the Lin Family, it would be very bad for the Gu Mansion if they were considered to have treated the Lin Family badly.

Also…

They could just stay low-profile to finish the lunch with the Lin Family and see them off. Anyway, this thing should not be revealed to outsiders, so if no one knew about this, there would be nothing bad happening to the Gu Family anyway.

"Just tolerate it," Gu Zhenkang said to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was so angry but there was nothing she could do.

So she had to bear it for the moment.

The servants were busy preparing for lunch and did not dare to get lazy. Elder Miss had made a scene at breakfast, so if anything happened again at lunch, Elder Miss might make another scene, which was beyond what they, the servants, could bear.

They had been servants long enough to understand what was going on.

Elder Miss might cause a scene, but she never caused trouble to the servants, only with Mrs. Gu and Second Lady, who would always vent their anger on the servants.

Therefore… they were more willing to serve Elder Miss.

The servants, with this idea in mind, continued to work quietly.

It was time for lunch…

The table was filled with expensive dishes that were quite generous.

The Lin Family came with Gu Chaoyan to the front yard and Gu Zhenkang, together with Gu Yunhe and Gu Ruxue came to greet them, with a smile.

"Old Master, you have not been here for a long time. The food is ready, let's take our seats." Gu Zhenkang forced a smile on his face, but he was very unwilling inside his heart.

Lin Jiaxing nodded, but refused to answer him verbally.

Ms. Lin glanced about the surroundings and said calmly, "Honestly, because you did not like us before. We were always driven out, weren't we? But Chaoyan is the Phoenix Girl and she is living at the Gu Family. So we are her mother's family and come to see her, because she is living here. Otherwise, you won't be willing to see us for an even longer time."

Ms. Lin said it straightforwardly, causing Gu Zhenkang's face to sink, but he forced an embarrassed smile.

"That is not possible. It must be the servants who had done the wrong thing to push you out," Gu Zhenkang said quietly, and forced himself to be friendly enough to bring them over to their seats.

Gu Zhenkang let out a sigh of relief.

The moment Ms. Lin sat down, she frowned and screamed. "This is the food you serve us here?"
