1480 Speech


    “You broke us off when you were angry, and I removed your name from the family tree. Now we have no misunderstanding between us, and you are back at the Gu Mansion. So we need to have your name returned to the family tree. It should not be dyed,” Gu Zhenkang said.


    He sounded very reasonable.


    As if what happened before was just a small misunderstanding which was cleared and made everything okay now.


    Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.


    When her name was removed from the family tree a while ago, she was not informed or allowed to see. The Gu Family made the announcement to the public that Gu Chaoyan was no longer part of the Gu Family.


    Was that a small misunderstanding?


    They drove a daughter, who was yet to get married, out of the family. What was that like? It was like killing that daughter.


    Luckily, she was Gu Chaoyan so she had her way out in the capital, but what if she was just an ordinary girl?


    The reason why Gu Zhenkang did so was because he was trying to make her go into despair, just as how they cornered her mother.


    Gu Chaoyan quietly ate one small bite of rice.


    She chewed it carefully and said, “We don’t need to be in a hurry to do so. I already have my own household since you drove me out. And right now, the situation is very crucial in the country and civilians are not having a peaceful time due to the snow in June. I am the Phoenix Girl, so how can I do everything for myself?”


    “…”


    “What would people think of me, if they knew about that?”


    “…”


    “Also, I need to think about whether or not I want to be written back into the family tree.”


    “…”


    “There is no need to hurry up with anything.”


    Gu Chaoyan spoke indifferently. She really did not care or feel anxious about it.


    Gu Zhenkang’s face sank.


    The whole thing would not be settled until she was back in the family tree. The outsiders would have a different opinion towards the Gu Mansion, if they knew about that.


    “That doesn’t seem to be proper. People from the n will arrive here tomorrow, and it just takes a short while to write the name back on. We can make the announcement when we have the right asion. It won’t take long.” Gu Zhenkang struggled.


    Gu Chaoyan did not care. She just said firmly, “We can talk about thister.”


    Having said this, she started to eat the lunch carefully.


    She even told Lin Jiaxing which dish was good and that was all she talked about.


    Gu Zhenkang looked very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could say. So he had to press it down.


    After lunch.


    Everyone except Ms. Lin ate a lot of food and was very well fed.


    Gu Chaoyan felt that Ms. Lin was living a good life like this, as long as she did not hurt other people.


    Long after that, Gu Chaoyan apanied her uncle’s family out of the mansion. Gu Zhenkang did not want to join them so he found an excuse and left.


    Lin Jiaxing did not need him to join them either. He did not want to talk down to Gu Zhenkang. He just did not want to see him.


    He and Ms. Lin were walking ahead of Lin Jiashu and Gu Chaoyan, who slowed down his steps and came at Gu Chaoyan’s side.


    Gu Chaoyan turned a cold look at him.
