Chapter 52: Search

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Searching her?

That was an utterly huge humiliation for a lady who was unmarried.

And it was her Second Sister who had put forward this proposal.

Expressionless, Gu Chaoyan showed sufficient anger. It seemed that the original host gained a bad reputation in this way. The old Gu Chaoyan could not counter the situation, but now she could.

Hearing the words, Madame Wang stepped forward and said, “No.”

“What? Madame Wang is trying to defend her in my house?” Huo Wei asked with displeasure.

Gu Chaoyan patted Madame Wang, telling her to get assured.

Madame Wang did not step down. She was old enough to know well how the tricks worked in those mansions.

Even if Chaoyan had not done that, she might have been framed. That was why Madame Wang tried to stop the possibility. If something did come out of Chaoyan’s pocket, her life would be ruined.

Gu Chaoyan whispered as Madame Wang was about to speak. “Don’t worry, Madame Wang.”

The words had just been spoken, when she took a few steps forward.

She came to Huo Wei and Gu Ruxue and threw a cold look at her. “Yes, you can do the searching, but what if you find nothing?”

“Then you get your innocence back, if nothing is found.” Huo Wei said with anger and impatience.

If not for Madame Wang’s sake, she would not waste so much time talking with this hideous woman. She was a kind of person who would never have a bright future so she did not fear her at all.

Gu Chaoyan bowed and nodded, but her fists were tight. There was nothing else she could do to prove her innocence in this case.

No one was helping her here, but what made Gu Chaoyan displeased was that no one of the Gu Family was defending her at all.

What a cold family.

“Chaoyan, it is just a body search. If you have got nothing on you, we can pass on.” Madame Wang spoke seeing Gu Chaoyan not responding. She would not have said a thing if not for Madame Wang’s presence.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Madame Gu. A cold look.

It was Madam Gu who had suggested her being here for this banquet, but she was not at all trying to defend her. Great! Great!

“Then do the search. If you have found nothing, then I am left out of this case and you, Miss. Huo, must apologize to me.” Having said the words, she looked about. “We are all girls here, so do the search here!”

She was not showing off her courage; she was trying to prove herself in front of the crowd, in case Gu Ruxue and Huo Wei set up something else just to frame her when they were alone.

Huo Wei had lost her patience. She did not care where she was searched. As for the apology, she was sure that she would find something, so she was not going to apologize anyway. She answered without hesitation. “Deal.”

Then she said to the maid next to her.

The maid was doing the search for a while with a relaxed expression on her face, when her face started to change.

And Gu Chaoyan had been observing her all this time. Now she was more sure that she had been framed.

A long while later, sweat appeared on the maid’s forehead as she mumbled. “How come nothing is here?”

Seeing the scene, Madame Wang knew that nothing was found. So she said with certainty inside her heart, “Well, still not done?”
