Chapter 172 - Asking for Punishment!
Chapter 172: Asking for Punishment!
Gu Chaoyan frowned tightly.
Mrs. Gu had been cringing a few days ago, but now she was becoming arrogant again.
Gu Chaoyan smiled sinisterly at Mrs. Gu. “Auntie Gu, are you cursing at my father or Madame Gu? If I am nobody, who do you think they are?”
“You…” Mrs. Gu got stuck for words.
She snapped out of anger and that was how she used to curse her too. However, this ugly girl was now getting quite a sharp tongue and started to counter her! So what she said was indeed improper.
Mrs. Gu snorted. She looked at Gu Chaoyan fiercely. “Don’t you dare chew on words with me here. You have made such a huge mistake, go and explain to Madame Gu. She is waiting for you at the front yard.”
As she finished saying the words, she turned a friendly face to Huo Wei and said with a gentle tone, “I am sorry, Miss. Huo for putting on such a stupid show in front of you. We still have other affairs to deal with at home, so I can see you off at the door personally.”
Huo Wei did not mind. She had reached her goal by coming here, when she knew that Madam Gu was going to punish Gu Chaoyan.
Oh my Gu Chaoyan… How dare you try to start a fight with me. You are going to pay back multiple times what I have lost to you.
With a satisfied look on her face, Huo Wei said, “Mrs. Gu, I am off now. But you definitely have to punish this girl for what she has done. County Princess Anxi is not an ordinary lady. If the Elder Princess is displeased, the whole Gu Mansion is going down. It would be too bad if Ruxue’s marriage is ruined too.”
Before she left, Huo Wei stressed this. Then she left with satisfaction.
Hearing these words, Mrs. Gu looked serious.
Ruxue was their only hope, and she was not going to let Gu Chaoyan ruin Ruxue. She was definitely going to find a way to talk Madam Gu into driving her out. If she was no longer a member of the Gu Family, Ruxue would not be affected.
With these ideas in mind, Mrs. Gu threw an even fiercer look upon Gu Chaoyan. She looked as if she wanted to take a bite of her. She said with displeasure, “What are you standing here for? Go to the front yard to meet Madame Gu!”
Gu Chaoyan shrugged. Then she took off and headed towards the front yard.
She was not scared of this matter that seemed to affect the Gu Family so much.
She was no longer the girl that had just time travelled here, who had a weak physical condition and nothing in store. She was not going to be bullied easily.
The moment she entered the hall, Gu Chaoyan could feel the dead silence that dominated the place.
Madam Gu’s filthy eyes were on Gu Chaoyan. She had put some hope in her, but now, this girl had disappointed her badly.
Well… She did offer her some kindness, when Lord Huai was treating her nicely for her medical skills, but she was so stupid as to set up a bet with County Princess Anxi about entering Saint College!
They were not in a position to offend County Princess Anxi!
Zhenkang was right. This girl was born to a daughter of a business family, someone without any long-term ideas. She was going to be a problem sooner or later.
“Kneel down now!” Madame Gu bellowed.
Gu Chaoyan glanced about and knew that Madam Gu was ordering her to kneel down, but she was not kneeling to anyone.
“What mistake did I make?” Gu Chaoyan asked, refusing to kneel down.
“You have made a huge mistake! You should never have irritated County Princess Anxi!” Madame Gu got so angry that she was shaking thoroughly. “Now, go and ask for punishment at Elder Princess’s mansion and beg County Princess Anxi for mercy!”
