Gu Zhenkang bumped into Zhou Huailing the mont he ca back to his mansion. He was furious.
Zhou Huailing had been drinking tea with a miserable look. Seeing him co back, he turned slightly smiling, saying. "So here you are, father-in-law."
He wanted Gu Zhenkang to test it first. If Gu Chaoyan was happy to see him, he could start to approach her personally from tomorrow on.
Therefore...
It was a very important mission he gave to Gu Zhenkang.
He had not believed that Gu Zhenkang would be trustworthy to do this work, because no one from the Gu Family was smart enough, but Gu Zhenkang was Gu Chaoyan's birth father, after all. He was the only candidate.
Zhou Huailing asked as he tried to look nice. "How did it go?"
He had hope inside his heart.
For one thing, the condition he offered was really good, and for another, Gu Chaoyan was a woman who was limited to very few choices.
If she could co back to the Gu Mansion and combine forces with him, the Crown Prince, then she would be faced with the best choices ever.
"She turned down." Gu Zhenkang answered indifferently.
"What?!" Zhou Huailing's face turned. She refused to consider this offer, aning that his Eighth Brother was benefiting from this situation.
That would not work.
Seeing Zhou Huailing's changed expression, Gu Zhenkang was startled too. He withdrew the hands he had just reached out for the teacup, saying, "Don't worry, Crown Prince. She has always been this rebellious, and she has been so strange for a long ti. She is now the Phoenix Girl, and she may not accept our offer so easily. She is punishing , not because she wants to be rid of you!"
"..."
"Just give her so ti, and let her feel less annoyed. Then we can talk about this deal with her again."
"..."
"Don't worry, Crown Prince. Her birth mother Ms. Lin was a businesswoman, and she must have injected so ideas into her since childhood. She knows what choices she has. What can Lord Huai offer her? Nothing, obviously. So Crown Prince, what are you worried about?"
"..."
"Besides, even if she turns us down, it would not work. I am her birth father, and we share the sa blood. She had to co back to the family if we insist that she should, right? She can't just be an opponent towards her own father, right?"
"..."
"So, Crown Prince, what are you so anxious about?" Gu Zhenkang said calmly. He looked really confident.
Zhou Huailing's thoughts felt a little unsteady, hearing what he said.
If Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, it was very important that she should be used for his sake. After all, his Eighth Brother was involved, and that made him worried.
He would have a trendous loss if she turned him down.
However, what Gu Zhenkang said made sense and was reasonable, but he could not be totally sure.
He looked up at Junyi, who nodded slightly and approved of what Gu Zhenkang said.
Gu Zhenkang was not a smart person. He had not achieved anything working at the Ministry of Personnel, nor had he helped to boost the Crown Prince either, but this ti, he seed rather reasonable and understood the key parts in it. That was quite rare.
