Chapter 78: No Trust
When she was speaking these words, Gu Chaoyan did not even realize that she was using a very gentle tone.
The purple silhouette of that man with a handsome face flashed across her mind. That man might sound a bit strange, but for some reason, whenever she thought of him, she felt strong. It seemed that he was the first person who wanted to marry her when she was so hideous-looking.
However, for now, she could not reveal his real identity.
So Gu Chaoyan had to use Madame Wang as a shield. After all, if she truly was getting married in the future, she would expect Madame Wang to stand by her side.
However, Mrs. Lin did not take her words seriously.
In her opinion, it was just a young girl’s words spoken to defend herself.
Madame Wang might be prestigious compared to a business family, yet Mrs. Lin knew that Madame Wang was just the mother of a fourth-rank officer.
Even if the Wang Family had the intention of helping her with the marriage… those who intended to marry her would not be of great quality. She was not pretty enough to attract anyone, and she was not the daughter of an officer. Who on earth with an extraordinary status would want to marry her?
Mrs. Lin smiled casually. “If Madame Wang already made the promise, he would not be too bad.”
“….”
“We are assured.”
“….”
“It is Jiashu who has no luck to marry you.” Mrs. Lin sighed slightly and looked regretful. Well, Mrs. Lin was going to regret a great deal later.
Gu Chaoyan nodded slightly. She knew that Mrs. Lin was not truly thinking in this way.
She felt furious and that was quite understanding. She did not have a good name in the country. Mrs. Lin had only one son and she was not willing to let him marry a notorious woman like her.
She frowned and looked saddened. It seemed that she had tons of things to deal with in the following days.
She needed to care about her reputation from this second on.
She did not think that it was wrong that she was deserted, but if the rumor that she was shoplifting and her ethical behavior were doubted, she would need to prove herself.
A while later, she saw that Lin Jiaxing had not yet come.
She considered that getting ready for the dowry list might take a while, but she was not willing to stay indoors. So she bowed to Mrs. Lin. “I will be waiting for Uncle at Jingxin Hut, please tell Uncle about this, thanks.”
Mrs. Lin truly expected Gu Chaoyan to leave. She was very glad, so she said, “Sure, I won’t see you off now, I need to deal with what is happening here. What a chaotic thing!”
She was talking about Lin Jiashu and Shui Lan.
Gu Chaoyan did not look at them as she left.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan leaving, Mrs Lin came to her own son.
She looked worried, adjusted his clothes and said with a concerned heart. “It is great that Chaoyan is not marrying you. I can tell that you dislike her, but she is your savior. Great, great that she is not marrying you.” Mrs. Lin stressed twice, feeling very glad to get this result.
She said and then took a look at Shui Lan.
She scolded Shui Lan just to put on a show to Gu Chaoyan.
Now that Gu Chaoyan was gone, Mrs. Lin had no intention of causing her trouble. It was the first woman her son liked. It was okay if he liked her, after all the Lin Family was large enough to get him concubines. “Shui Lan, you will become the concubine in a few days.”
Lin Jiashu, however, rushed out as if he had heard nothing.
