Ms. Doctor Divine

“Anything you want to tell me, Mom?” Gu Zhenkang asked with confusion.

“Nothing serious. Just telling you that the girl is now useful for us, so don’t just scold or hit her every time you meet her.” Madame Gu reminded him. “Also, try to leak the information that Lord Huai is asking us for help.”

Gu Zhenkang was startled, but soon he understood the meaning of it. So he lowered his head and nodded.

He did not like Ms. Lin that much. He was a scholar and he should not have married a businesswoman. Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, was the daughter of an officer, who was a great match for him. The ugly girl was Ms. Lin’s daughter, whom he disliked, but she was, after all, his daughter, and he had never thought about doing anything bad to her. Yet this ugly girl kept losing face for his family so he developed a hatred towards her gradually.

Now the situation was different. She had become useful, so she should be treated better.

Gu Zhenkang could get this point.

Seeing that the idea was going through him, Madame Gu waved her hands and let him leave.

Seeing her son’s back figure, she sighed. He was not smart, but at least he listened to her ideas. That would be enough.

The following day, Gu Chaoyan left with Qing.

They were heading towards the Lin Family, so if Qing followed her, she would be in a safer situation than in the Gu Family, where Gu Ruxue or Gu Xiuying might bully her.

The wagon was ready, which was quite unexpected. She had never expected that Mrs. Gu would have gotten her such a nice wagon.

Didn’t she look unconvinced yesterday?

It seemed that Madam Gu had said something that satisfied her.

Honestly…

In the Gu Mansion.

Madame Gu was one of the few ones who had a clever brain.

No one was seeing her off. Only Cai Ming came to greet her. Apparently, it was Madam Gu’s order.

Gu Chaoyan went onto the wagon with Qing and headed towards the Lin Family.

The Lin Family were residing in the capital too. The Lin Family used to be the imperial business family. Yet after the Old Master left, they were disqualified from being the imperial business family. That was why the Lin Family were forced to move to the outskirts.

It took two hours for them to arrive there.

It was not a long ride, but despite the short distance between the two families, the Lin Family and the Gu Family never visited each other.

Gu Chaoyan did not think that it was because the Gu Family were arrogant.

It was just because the Lin Family had lost the position as the imperial business family so the Gu Family gave them up.

She shook her head.

“Miss, do you think the Lin Family will want to see us? You caused big trouble and you hurt them too.” Qing asked worriedly.

Of course they would not want to see her, but she had already asked Rong Chuxuan to check the situation of the Lin Family, so she had come up with an idea.

Rong Chuxuan was Lord Huai’s bodyguard.

Lord Huai had asked him to follow Gu Chaoyan so as to protect her. And she did not turn that down.

Rong Chuxuan was indeed quite useful and could come in handy.

“Miss, we are here.” The footman reminded her.

“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan replied and left with Qing. Rong Chuxuan was not far from them, bearing a flat expression on their face.

As they came to the Lin Mansion Qing went up and said, “We are the miss from the Gu Mansion, and we would like to see the Old Master, please pass on the message for us.”

“You are from the Gu Mansion? Please go back, Old Master has ordered that we are never meeting anyone from you.” The housekeeper showed a false smile as he said. He had a very weird expression on him as he looked at Qing.

Everyone from the Lin Family knew that the Lin Family and the Gu Family never visited each other.

Qing looked at Gu Chaoyan with a worried expression on her face. “Miss, what should we do?”
