Chương 64: No One

"Anything you want to tell me, Mom?" Gu Zhenkang asked with confusion.

"Nothing serious. Just telling you that the girl is now useful for us, so don't just scold or hit her every time you meet her." Madame Gu reminded him. "Also, try to leak the information that Lord Huai is asking us for help."

Gu Zhenkang was startled, but soon he understood the meaning of it. So he lowered his head and nodded.

He did not like Ms. Lin that much. He was a scholar and he should not have married a businesswoman. Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, was the daughter of an officer, who was a great match for him. The ugly girl was Ms. Lin's daughter, whom he disliked, but she was, after all, his daughter, and he had never thought about doing anything bad to her. Yet this ugly girl kept losing face for his family so he developed a hatred towards her gradually.

Now the situation was different. She had become useful, so she should be treated better.
