Chapter 54: Lord Huai’s Idea

It was a banquet held at the Huo Family. They thought that Lord Huai appeared only for the Huo’s sake. So when the two of them collapsed on the floor, they assumed that it would be Huo Wei whom Lord Huai tried to pull up. No one expected that it would be Gu Chaoyan!

The Lady Ugly!

Lord Huai just used a little force and helped Gu Chaoyan up. It was very quiet in the surrounding, so the ringing of the bells echoed across the yard as she got up.

Huo Wei was still down on the floor. Seeing Lord Huai pulling up Gu Chaoyan, she thought that she would be next. So she stretched out her hand again.

However, instead of sparing another look at her, Lord Huai asked with a face of seriousness. “What is it going on?”

Office Huo and Madame Huo, who had been invisible all hurried to the place. Seeing Lord Huai and Princess Yunxi, they bowed. “Greetings, Lord Huai and Princess Yunxi.”

Lord Huai did not let them get up now, but cast a look at the couple.

That brief pause almost made Huo Gang sweat. If he had known that Lord Huai would be here for this minor banquet, he would not have allowed his daughter to make the fuss.

Now Gu Chaoyan understood what was going on.

No one from the Huo Family was defending justice, because they were trying to give their daughter the chance to make a fuss. What on earth had she done wrong so she was framed at this banquet for no reason? Gu Chaoyan suddenly felt very pleased to see the Huo Family behaving in this way. She showed a small smile.

A short pause later, Madame Gu stepped forward, shivering. She bowed slightly. “Greetings, Lord Huai, the girls were just having fun, no big deal.”

Madame Gu did not dare to look up. She knew that she should never offend Lord Huai. If she did not step forward, the Gu Family would be offending the Huo Family thoroughly. The Huo Family were a big official family not to be offended, and as for Lord Huai... She was putting her suspected relationship between Prince of Duke Changning’s Mansion and Lord Huai, since Lord Huai was present at the cancellation of engagement.

“Oh really?” Lord Huai looked slightly less lethal as he looked at Gu Chaoyan.

A moment of hesitation later, Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Lord Huai threw a complicated look at her. Instead of saying anything more, he said, “Office Huo, Madame Huo, please rise.”

Huo Gang arose between shivering. That kneeling had made him age by ten years.

After he got it, Huo Gang went to help her daughter up.

Huo Wei glared at her own father in dissatisfaction. Then she threw an unconvinced look at Lord Huai who was just looking somewhere else. She stomped on her feet.

She just did not know why Lord Huai was helping that hideous girl, and why he was staring at her and not at herself!

“Lord Huai...” Huo Gang was about to ask him to move to the front yard, when Lord Huai skipped looking at him and turned to Gu Chaoyan. “Are you free now, I have got something to ask you.”

Eyes widened, Gu Chaoyan looked at Lord Huai with confusion.

Lord Huai, who had no interest in speaking any more, added, “I heard that you cured the Young Master of the Wang Family, so I need to ask you something.”
