Chapter 377: The Grand Wedding Present

“If you want to marry her, she can even be your concubine!” Gu Zhenkang said with a flattering tone. He was trying to suck up to Lord Huai so that he would not mind what just happened. Also, he was kind of pissed as well!

This b**ch Gu Chaoyan did not tell him about Lord Huai’s idea earlier. She should have known about it! If she had told him earlier, he would not have mentioned dowries and nothing like this would have happened. How stupid she was! Gu Zhenkang was cursing Gu Chaoyan inwardly.

Zhou Huaijin frowned and showed a terrible expression on his face. He had thought that it was not his choice to be born in the royal family, but after spending some time with Yan’s father, he felt concerned for Yan to have got a father like this. This father would make his daughter become a concubine just to suck up to someone, and Yan was nothing in his eyes.

He got so furious inwardly, that his fists were tightly clenched.

Gu Chaoyan noticed that, so she patted his back to console him, realizing that he was angry because of what Gu Zhenkang said. Actually, he did not have to be mad. Gu Zhenkang was not her real father, and she would not get saddened because of what happened. What mattered to her most of all was Zhou Huaijin, and she did not want him to get sad for her sake.

Zhou Huaijin was slightly consoled thanks to her small gesture.

“I like Yan and I will give her the best things I have, so be careful about what you say.” Zhou Huaijin said expressionlessly.

Gu Zhenkang felt embarrassed, nodded and said nothing more. He knew that it was very difficult to get on well with Lord Huai, who was not as gentle as Lord Ling. That was why he was very frightened.

Mrs. Gu, who was standing next to them, bit her lips so hard that it almost bled. She was so unconvinced!

However, Zhou Huaijin did not care.

At this time, Fu Bao came with the Lin Family.

Zhou Huaijin showed a small smile – at least, the Lin Family were better than Gu Zhenkang. When Yan got taken into the prison, only the Lin Family tried to help her out.

“Greetings, Uncle.” Zhou Huaijin said softly, “Chaoyan once mentioned that her certificate is in your hands, so I would like you to come and be the witness as I am proposing.” He sounded quite polite.

Lin Jiaxing was scared too, but he was calmer than Gu Zhenkang. He greeted Zhou Huaijin with his wife first before replying, “Yes, that is true. It is Chaoyan’s honor to have you as her husband.”

Then he passed the certificate to the matchmaker and the engagement started. The certificates were exchanged and the engagement was completed.

Normally, it would be the husband’s parents who made the decision, yet since Zhou Huaijin was not an ordinary man, he did everything himself. What was more, he was going to make a public announcement to the world about this later, and that would be in Zhou Huaijin’s charge.

The process was very simple. Then Lord Huai started to carry in the wedding presents.

As the wedding presents started to pour into the mansion, Gu Zhenkang’s eyes widened. There were so many boxes that came in as if it would never stop.

He had already witnessed the enormous amount of wedding presents when Lord Ling made the proposal, but this time... This time the presents were even more abundant.

Gu Chaoyan did not think that the yard was large enough to hold so many wedding presents.

“Why did you prepare so many presents?” Gu Chaoyan turned to Zhou Huaijin next to her.
