Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 380: Some Ideas

Gu Zhenkang said and hurried off directly.

Gu Ruxue was left alone on the spot. She was angry yet she had no idea what to do except to stomp on feet.

Why!? Why did the bitch manage to marry Lord Huai as the Princess Consort? Lord Huai must have been hoaxed by that bitch!

“Mom, look at him!” Gu Ruxue snapped angrily. He claimed to like her most and that Gu Chaoyan was just a daughter of a businessman who could not be married out and who could not get any husband, but now she even managed to marry Lord Huai and her father started to treat her in this way! Gu Ruxue was so annoyed!

Mrs. Gu had been pale in the face all this while. She had had dozens of smooth years being Gu Zhenkang’s wife and he had never snapped at her, but now the b**ch dared to bad mouth her in front of Lord Huai and said that she was an evil stepmother! If not for the b**ch’s words, Lord Huai would not have snapped at her!

She was going to be Lord Ling’s mother-in-law and she must not hold such a bad reputation.

So when Gu Ruxue kept making complaints, Mrs. Gu turned even more displeased. However, now she was incredibly calm even as she got extremely annoyed.

She stared at Gu Ruxue with a flat look on her face, as she patted on the back of her hand. “Ruxue, don’t worry, I will think of something for you. My daughter has to get the best stuff in the world!” And Mrs. Lin’s daughter was getting nothing!

Only now did Gu Ruxue feel slightly assured.

In the most remote corner of the yard…

Gu Zhenkang almost lost his way. When Mrs. Gu said that Madame Gu should be living in the most remote yard, he agreed without thinking. So as a matter of fact, he did not remember what that yard was like, since he barely visited here.

Luckily, Chen Fu was leading the way. So Gu Zhenkang found the way directly.

The most remote yard was the place that was never renovated when the Gu Mansion went through the renovation a while back. So most of the yards were deserted with no one doing the cleaning, thus being rather messy.

However, Gu Zhenkang never noticed a thing on the way there. Instead, he was heading directly to the yard where Madame Gu was staying.

Madame Gu was seated in the yard at the moment. Sword One had just got Madame Gu a wheelchair the day before, so that Madame Gu could breathe some fresh air out in the yard instead of lying in the room throughout the entire day. And she looked relatively radiant with the help of Gu Chaoyan’s pills. It was a very peaceful yet quiet life.

Hearing the hurried sound of footsteps, Madame Gu had thought that it was Sword One or Gu Chaoyan, so she looked slightly cheerful.

She was a deserted old woman, whom only Gu Chaoyan would visit. She turned around with a smile only to see Gu Zhenkang and Chen Fu, so her smiling face sank. Instead of showing much on her face she said, “What are you doing here?”

She sounded cold. Yet Madame Gu was still looking forward to hearing something from him. He must have been too busy to see her earlier, and now he came because he had time.

He was the son Madame Gu had been devoted to for dozens of years, so she did look forward to hearing something nice from him rather than watching him leaving her alone.

Madame Gu’s hands were shivering because of nervousness.

Gu Zhenkang did not notice those details. What he had been thinking was how to get dowries for Ruxue. Madame Gu always had some solutions for what happened at home, so he subconsciously came to her help.

“Mom, please think of a solution for us. Lord Ling is marrying Ruxue, but we don’t even have any dowries for her!”
