Chapter 82: With Lord Huai

He had not fully believed that the girl only needed the dowry list to cure Jiashu, but now he did. He might be honest, but he was not stupid as a businessman. He knew that this girl was paving the road for herself.

He was not that worried any more. “Chaoyan, you have become different. You are more useful than me.”

“....”

“When your grandfather passed away, I couldn’t even keep our position as the imperial court family. If not for me, your mother would not have been stricken so hard and passed away too.” Lin Jiaxing was truly saddened, as if he had just thought of the past, grieving memory.

However, what he said made Gu Chaoyan understand.

Gu Chaoyan’s mother had been dead for years, but she had never tried to find out the cause, but what Uncle said did not make sense to her.

“How did mother pass away?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“When your grandfather passed away, your mother grieved so deeply that she collapsed. During that period, the Lin Family were already turning into chaos because of what happened to your grandfather, so nobody noticed your mother. What the Gu Family told us was that she was suffering because of sorrow. When our status as the imperial business family was stolen, your mother could not stand it any more and died. It was my fault, totally my fault. I am so useless!” Lin Jiaxing, a strong man, burst out in tears as he mentioned the past.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. She did not think that it was that simple.

The original Gu Chaoyan remembered that her mother was not someone who cared so much about the social status or money, otherwise she would not have married someone so ordinary like Gu Zhenkang! She did not believe that a woman like that would pass away just because her family’s status had been removed.

Also, she was now a doctor... She did not think that the whole thing made any medical sense.

Gu Chaoyan’s mother might have been saddened because of grandfather’s death, but she could not possibly die out of sorrow within a short period of time.

It seemed that something weird was going on inside.

Gu Chaoyan just could not stand that any more.

Although she was just a soul from a strange world, since she took up the original host’s body, she should not ignore what was going on around her.

“Do you really think that mom could get so saddened that she passed away within a short period of time?” Gu Chaoyan interrogated. She was a little angry. What a confused uncle!

Lin Jiaxing was still in deep sadness but upon hearing her words he looked up. “You have suspicion?”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Lin Jiaxing sprang up instantly. He looked lethal, yet did not have the impulse of taking revenge now. Instead he looked at Gu Chaoyan, waiting for her to say something. For some reason, he trusted Gu Chaoyan from the bottom of his heart. Maybe it was because she managed to cure Lin Jiashu, or maybe because of something else.

“Chaoyan, what is your plan?” Lin Jiaxing asked.

“We need to do a thorough investigation. Let’s just wait until I come to the Gu Family.” Then she thought of something and said, “Don’t tell anyone about what we discussed today.”

“Got it.” Lin Jiaxing nodded. “I will see you out.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She must not waste any more time at the Lin Family. The Gu Family seemed to be much more evil than she had expected.

“Chaoyan, do you need some men from me? Qing alone might not work that well.” Lin Jiaxing asked as he saw Qing greeting him.

Rong Chuxuan was with her when they first came here, but now he was gone. Lin Jiaxing thought that it was a man from the Gu Family and that Qing was the only servant of hers.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head briefly. “It is fine, Lord Huai has sent his men for me.”

What?! Lin Jiaxing’s eyes widened. “Lord Huai? What is your relation with Lord Huai?”
