<h4>Chapter 490: The Assistant</h4>


    Gu Chaoyan had just looked at Gu Xiuying when another voice arose. “Lady Chaoyan.”


    Gu Chaoyan withdrew her look, then she saw… Madame Min!


    Gu Chaoyan got up directly. Madame Min was not titled, so she did not have to bow to her, but everyone had to greet her politely, at least they had to rise.


    “Greetings, Madame Min.” Gu Chaoyan said politely.


    Madame Min was very easygoing. She smiled and waved her hands. “Please sit down, I feel restrained seeing you in this way.”


    She greeted the rest of the guests and everyone sat down.


    Gu Chaoyan had a vacant ce next to her, which Princess Yunxi took a while ago. So Madame Min took it directly.


    They had just sat down when Madame Min said to her. “I haven’t seen you for a long while, Lady Chaoyan.”


    Gu Chaoyan smiled and was about to reply, when Madame Min continued. “I asked you to take a seat at the mansion when you are free, why have you never shown up?”


    Gu Chaoyan was startled. She suddenly remembered that.


    Madame Min did mention that, but she thought that as an annoying Elder Miss, she should not go about to spread trouble for others. What Madame Min said made her feel very grateful, but she did not want to cause her any more trouble.


    However, Madame Min remembered clearly what she had said, so Gu Chaoyan somehow felt guilty.


    She was about to make an apology, when Madame Min continued. “You are bing an adult right? Lord Huai asked me to be your host, I will definitely be there.”


    Gu Chaoyan had no idea what to say at this moment.


    Madame Min was such a nicedy! She found her affable, just like a mother.


    “Thank you so much, Madame Min!” Gu Chaoyan was not a sweet-talker, but when she was feeling very grateful, she normally could not utter a word.


    Madame Min patted her back and smiled, showing constion.


    Madame Deng joined them as well. She looked totally surprised. “Madame Min, are you going to be the host of Lady Chaoyan’s Adulthood Ceremony?”


    Madame Min nodded.


    Now Madame Deng believed her totally. She did not hear anything wrong.


    Madame Deng had looked at Gu Chaoyan with a look of pity, but now, she was looking at her with a look of appreciation. After all, Madame Min was a very specialdy and she would not even be kind to the King!


    She had never offered to be a host for anyone!


    The Elder Miss of the Gu Family was the first person in history!


    “Lady Chaoyan, please don’t take what we have said in heart. We are blindfolded by the rumor. You are a nice person, who is epted by Madame Min! You can’t be a bad-mannereddy, can you!” Madame Deng said with a serious tone.


    Gu Chaoyan smiled and said, “It is okay.”


    It was a bustling and lively scene at the table.


    Gu Xiuying, who was seated next to her, felt shocked. She was already very surprised to see Princess Yunxi offering to be Gu Chaoyan’s witness but now Madame Min was offering to be her host!


    So she had to be her assistant. She had to get it even if it meant losing her own face! That was a great opportunity!


    Gu Xiuying was making a n inwardly.


    However….
