Chapter 102: The Min Family

“Well...” Gu Ruxue’s lips twitched. She had no idea how to answer the question.

She threw a lethal look at Gu Chaoyan. Since when did the ugly girl dare counter her! How dare she embarra.s.s her in front of Madame Min. She was definitely going to report this to Madame Gu and her father!

Gu Ruxue got so furious yet she did not dare to utter a word in front of Madame Min. Instead, she said with a kind tone, “Sister, I am just concerned about you. I was afraid that you would do something bad for the performance.”

Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Ruxue coldly.

She said that she was concerned about her, but actually, she was suggesting that she was taking shortcuts.

That was how Gu Chaoyan’s reputation was ruined by them!

“You think too much, Second Sister. Those who have a narrow mind would think the same about people around them. Don’t behave like this.” Gu Ruxue said as she looked at Gu Ruxue with a serious face, intimidating just like a n.o.ble lady. “Didn’t you say that you are performing too? You can do that now.”

Gu Ruxue got startled. She just could not believe her own eyes as she faced Gu Chaoyan.

This was Gu Chaoyan, really? The deserted ugly girl living at the Qiong Pavilion? Why did she look so confident and intimidating in front of her?

Gu Ruxue clenched her fists tightly.

Her eyes had turned thoroughly red because of anger and her fists were very tight.

Gu Chaoyan ignored her, but said to Madame Min. “My sister is too young to understand courtesy, sorry.”

She sounded polite, but not flattering.

With eyes upon Gu Chaoyan, Madame Min completely believed that she was the person who could compile such a beautiful song.

Gu Ruxue went up to the stage, and Madame Gu came to greet Madame Min as she saw Gu Chaoyan speaking with her.

Madame Min said to Madame Gu politely, “If you have time, you can bring Lady Chaoyan to my place for a visit. I like her a great deal.”

Madame Gu showed a bright smile, “I will, I will.”

Then Madame Min nodded at Gu Chaoyan and returned to her own seat.

Madame Gu brought Gu Chaoyan back to their seat. She smiled brightly and patted Gu Chaoyan’s hands. “So great that Madame Min likes you!”

“...”

“Madame Min is not from an ordinary family. She is the daughter of the eldest daughter! She is now married to the Min Family which are of high rank in the imperial court for generations. Her husband Officer Min is one of the key ministers. If we are able to befriend the Min Family, your father can be easily promoted! Madame Min is very skillful at zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is even a teacher at Saint College.”

Gu Chaoyan disliked it when Madam Gu kept nagging, but when she heard the word Saint College. She realized that she could befriend Madame Min, if she was a teacher at Saint College. After all, she intended to attend Saint College too.

Seeing Gu Chaoyan’s expression, Madame Gu a.s.sumed that she had understood the importance of the Min Family. So she showed an affable smile and stopped talking.

At this time, Gu Ruxue was on the stage too.

Well, Gu Ruxue, who had a t.i.tle of the prettiest girl in the capital city, was indeed beautiful, wild and open, especially when she was dressed in red.

Now, she was dancing elegantly.
