Chapter 756 - No
Chapter 756: No
Before Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin came to greet them, he sat down on the empty chair and found one for Gu Ruxue as well. They were well-seated, then he took a sip of tea.
He said in satisfaction. “Lady Chaoyan, you have a good taste, the tea here is very delicious.”
Zhou Huailing looked at the Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan as if they were his employees. Gu Ruxue was also giving out a very commanding air.
She and Lord Ling were here, only because her father failed to reach a compromise with Gu Chaoyan. Otherwise she would not be willing to visit Gu Chaoyan personally.
Father was always so dumb. So before they came here, they thought about making the deal with some exchange conditions.
And if they were going to reach the deal with conditions, Gu Ruxue naturally had no intention of begging anyone, thus showing a very arrogant air.
Zhou Huaijin was still wearing a cold expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Huailing expressionlessly, “What are you here for, Fourth Brother?”
Gu Chaoyan did not care about these two people… Instead, she poured Zhou Huaijin a cup of tea and one for herself too, as she started to drink calmly.
Zhou Huailing did not seem to notice that they were not at all welcomed. Instead, he just said with a reasonable tone, “Eighth Brother, I am not here for some big issue, it is just that my father-in-law was here a while ago and Lady Chaoyan should have some idea of what is going on.”
“…”
“Lady Chaoyan, there is no need for you to keep the phoenix, except that it is a nice-looking bird.”
“…”
“You can give it to Ruxue, because she is the Phoenix Girl, and it is totally suitable for her title. And if you are willing to offer that, I am willing to offer you something back.”
“…”
“Eighth Brother, you don’t seem to be very busy these days, I can speak with father about giving you some tasks, and also, I’ll owe you big for this one, so no matter what happens to me, and what future path I take, I will always keep this promise in mind, and I will do anything for you, as long as you ask for it.”
“…”
“What do you think, Eighth Brother?” Zhou Huailing asked.
He had never been willing to make such a promise, but Ruxue’s father was here a while ago and failed to get what they wanted even after offering the jewelry.
That he understood well.
Eighth Brother and Gu Chaoyan owned Yellow Crane, which brought them a lot of money, and Gu Chaoyan had a large amount of dowries too. So they did not lack jewelry or money, but… They should be aware of how they were doing, and should cherish the promises he made to them.
A promise for a phoenix… That should be a great deal.
Zhou Huailing believed that the Eighth Brother would say yes.
Having said these words, he sipped some tea and looked at Gu Ruxue.
Gu Ruxue was very excited as well. She had been longing for that phoenix for a long time.
If the phoenix could be taken as her own, then there would be many noble ladies in the capital who would try to suck up to her.
“That sounds terrible. Chaoyan owns the phoenix, so there is no way that it can be exchanged.” Zhou Huaijin answered calmly. He did not seem to be affected by what Zhou Huailing had offered.
Zhou Huailing’s expression sank..
