Chapter 240: Dowries

Neither Gu Zhenkang nor Mrs. Gu stopped them from leaving.

Then Madame Huo left.

Gu Ruxue could not stop smiling at the sight of these boxes full of presents. She thought that after what happened to Princess Gu, Lord Ling would blame her family and drop the thought of marrying her. She had been very distressed during the past few days, and she even thought about turning to Jiming again if the marriage was canceled.

However, it was great that she did not go to that man yet. Otherwise she would have missed such a great opportunity.

Look at those presents! Lord Ling must have liked her a lot for him to become so generous. She was definitely going to have a great life once married to Lord Ling.

Seeing Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu returning to the hall after seeing off Madame Huo, Gu Ruxue put down what she had been holding, and said with pursed lips and eyes upon her parents. “Dad, and Mom, I can’t marry Lord Ling with no dowries! Look at those presents from him! I have to get many dowries so that Lord Ling will not look down on me!”

Madame Gu had not allowed Gu Chaoyan to give her dowries to Ruxue, because she did not think that Prince of the Duke Changning was important enough... However, now Gu Ruxue was going to marry Lord Ling!

He was the King’s son, a very important and highly-ranked n.o.bleman! Those dowries should be for her, not for that ugly b.i.t.c.h!

Hearing these words, Mrs. Gu took her daughter’s side. The Gu Mansion could offer a lot of dowries from the storage room. When Madam Gu was in charge previously, they were not able to touch any of them, but now things were different, Madame Gu could not make any decisions at all.

She turned to Gu Zhenkang directly. “Old Master, Ruxue is marrying Lord Ling and we are all relying on Lord Ling for our future happiness. That ugly girl is not going to marry anyone with any background, so her dowries will be a total waste. Just give hers to Ruxue instead. In this way, Lord Ling would know how much we cherish this marriage and treat us with a better att.i.tude!”

Gu Zhenkang got extremely displeased with Gu Chaoyan when her name was mentioned.

That was just a daughter born to a businesswoman who was never going to achieve anything in the future. If the dowries were given to her, they would be a total waste. So the doweries should be given to Ruxue.

He was in charge of the Gu Mansion now, so he could make the decision as he wanted.

He looked at Gu Ruxue and said with an affable tone, “Ruxue, don’t worry, you are my most cherished daughter. I will definitely marry you off with a grand scale of dowries!”

“...”

“Chaoyan is not going to marry anyone great in her life, so her dowries would be a waste after all. I promise you that her dowries will all be yours!”

“...”

“I will talk with her in a couple of days, and she should get the point.”

Gu Zhenkang did not hesitate a second before he made the decision for Gu Chaoyan.

He never thought that those dowries were from Mrs. Lin to her own daughter and they were not properties belonging to the husband, so Gu Zhenkang had no rights to make the decision...

However, Gu Ruxue was extremely glad to hear these words. She should get those dowries... Gu Chaoyan was an ugly b**ch who deserved none of the good things.

She took hold of Gu Zhenkang’s arms and said, “Thanks so much, Dad!”

Gu Zhenkang was very pleased. This daughter of his was marrying Lord Ling, and now she was showing so much closeness towards him. For once in all of these years, he felt that he was a great father.

At the Pear Yard.

Madame Gu asked Cai Ming to take a look at what was happening outside. She needed to be in charge of Lord Ling’s proposal.
