Chapter 215: Blackmailing

Just a moment ago, Mrs. Gu tried to play the blame game with her when she had no idea that she knew everything.

Now when she knew that Mrs. Zheng would look into the matter, she started to seek help from her. What kind of family was this! The Gu Family wanted to get every good thing for themselves, even if it meant huge humiliation!

Well… It was alright if she was helping them.

Gu Chaoyan showed a brief smile. “I can go and ask Lord Huai for help so he can persuade Mrs. Zheng not to blame you, but I can’t go there empty-handed!”

When money was mentioned, Mrs. Gu’s eyes widened. “But isn’t Yellow Crane doing so well? You can use the money earned from Yellow Crane for this matter.” It seemed that the Gu Mansion was not earning any more money like before, and they had spent a great deal of money on Ruxue too. That was why they all looked forward to getting money out of Yellow Crane rather than offering any themselves.

Mrs. Gu had her plan, but Gu Chaoyan was never going to approve of it. “If that is the case, please, you can go to Lord Huai’s Mansion yourself. I am not able to help you with it.”

Gu Chaoyan looked embarrassed. How ridiculous! She told them so many details just because she expected that the Gu Mansion was going to spend some money.

As for Mrs. Zheng… Zhou Huaijin already dealt with her and ended the matter. However, even if that was the case, they still needed to pay for what they had done.

Mrs. Gu fell into silence when Lord Huai’s Mansion was mentioned. Lord Huai was a very scary person. She did not dare to irritate him. What if he got angry and killed her.

Madame Gu was furious too. She bellowed at Mrs. Gu and said, “Shut up now!”

“Chaoyan, do you think 10,000 will be enough.” Madame Gu asked with a trying tone. She was trying to cut the amount. After all, the Gu Mansion had not been doing well in the economy these years.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head resolutely. She looked embarrassed. “Madame Gu, we are asking Lord Huai for help! If the money is not enough, and the amount makes Lord Huai angry… the whole thing will get worse.”

Madame Gu got startled. True, she should have thought about this.

Chaoyan and Lord Huai were running the restaurant, so she naturally thought that Lord Huai was someone easygoing. But no, Lord Huai was a ruthless man, and they had to be careful.

As long as they ended this matter smoothly… As long as Ruxue was able to marry Lord Ling as they had planned, they could spend some money. Also, Yellow Crane was doing well too and they were soon going to get some more money to fill up the hole.

Madame Gu thought the whole thing over and felt that she should have offered something better.

As Madam Gu thought it through, she said generously, “1 million.”

“What?” Gu Zhenkang was shocked. One million was a large amount of money for the Gu Mansion at the moment.

Madame Gu waved her hands. It was the only way out.

“No more words. Chen Fu, go and get the money!” Madame Gu said resolutely, “We have to end this matter properly first.”

Gu Zhenkang had to stay silent.

Madame Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan. “Chaoyan, we can skip the punishment today, but do not ever cause any trouble for the Gu Mansion or ruin our name.”

“…”

“Deal with this matter as soon as possible. There is going to be a banquet at the court soon, join us, please.” Madame Gu said.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Chen Fu got her the check, and his hands were shaking as he passed it to her.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly. It seemed that it was a large amount of money for the Gu Mansion.
