Chapter 178: Death
Chapter 178: Death
However, Gu Chaoyan, together with Sword One and Qing, had already gone to Restaurant Tianxiang.
They had just taken the seat, when Sword One curiously asked, “Miss, why are you not visiting Restaurant Jixian. It is the top restaurant in the capital city.”
She heard before that those stores were going to be used to open a restaurant.
So they should go and learn from the top restaurant first.
Unexpectedly, her Miss chose this minor Restaurant Tianxiang, which confused her a great deal.
Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly and took a sip of tea.
And that sip made her feel totally assured that she was at the right place.
“It is true that Restaurant Jixian is the top restaurant in the capital, but look at this minor Restaurant Tianxiang. It is not that large yet can still attract many people standing next to Restaurant Jixian. So that is what Restaurant Tianxiang is good at. It is not a bad choice for us to come to Restaurant Tianxiang for information.”
Sword One nodded as if she understood something.
The waiter serving the dishes could not help but say with a smile. “You are very smart, miss.”
When the waiter saw Gu Chaoyan asking her maids to take seats with her to eat, he found this miss very distinguished.
When the food was served, he gave them a branded dish for free.
Gu Chaoyan accepted the dish with a smile.
She was famished, especially after Lu Jiming kept her waiting for so long.
When she finished the food, Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of something and asked Sword One. “Sword One, you are Zhou Huaijin’s guard, and you must know more about what it is going on in the imperial court. Can you tell me what Lord Ling is like?”
What made him want to marry an unknown figure like Gu Ruxue?
She might have the title of being the prettiest girl of the whole city, but the Gu Mansion was not good enough for the lords to pay attention to.
In other words, the title of being the prettiest girl was something those noble ladies did not want. That was how Gu Ruxue got it. Therefore, Lord Ling would never pay attention to anyone with that tile.
As she was talking about this, Sword One found it curious too.
She did not know if other lords would marry someone with a different type of status because of love... but she knew that Lord Ling was never going to get true love, because... “Lord Ling is a very ambitious person that only cares about power and wealth. He is not obsessed with women at all.”
Oh?
“If that is the case... What makes him want to marry Gu Ruxue? The Gu Family are not going to help him with anything. They are only going to slow him down.” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.
Sword One nodded. She thought so too.
So what was the reason? That confused Sword One too.
Gu Chaoyan could not understand either.
Maybe he fell in love at first sight?
However, as far as Sword One knew... Lord Ling was not someone who would fall in love at first sight.
Something weird must be going on.
Gu Chaoyan felt that she should ask Zhou Huaijin what was going on, in case there was some conspiracy hidden in the middle.
As they finished the food, Gu Chaoyan was thinking about visiting Lord Huai’s Mansion since the day was still early.
She was about to say something when a scream arose in Restaurant Tianxiang, there was a loud noise.
“What is it?” Gu Chaoyan did not know what happened. She thought for a while and rose. “Let’s go and check it out.”
Sword One nodded and followed her.
She walked out of the elegant room, when a voice screamed. “The food from Restaurant Tianxiang kills people!”
Chaoyan frowned. The food killed people?
She went to check on the one that had just fainted.
