"By the way, Gu girl, I don't think I've told you about the Gu family's situation. The Gu family only has one descendant and that is my granddaughter, Gu Lan. This granddaughter of mine has always been an eccentric spirit and has always caused trouble. Coupled with the fact that she's a girl, the Gu family has never been able to be taught to her."
Old Man Gu sighed exasperatedly, "Hence, the elders of the Gu family had a discussion to unite the Gu family and the Jiang family through marriage. The Jiang family had also promised the Gu family that as long as my granddaughter takes a liking to anyone, she would be given the title of Young Master of the Jiang family and marry my granddaughter."
"Haha, I had previously wanted to matchmake Zhu'er and Lan'er. After all, they had grown up together since young so their chances of success should be higher than anyone else's. Who would have thought that neither of them would take a liking to the other? Lan'er had even run away from home and there has been no news of her at all."
Old Man Jiang burst into laughter. There was not a single hint of ill will in his laughter.
Old Man Gu was a little embarrassed and he spoke with an ashamed look on his face, "Old Man Jiang, the Gu family has let you down in this matter. I..."
"Alright." Old Man Jiang waved his hand and stopped Old Man Gu from saying anything else. "I have my own children and grandchildren in my heart. We can't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Since that's the case, let's not make things difficult for that little girl, Gu Lan."
Despite his words, Old Man Gu was still filled with guilt towards the old man before him. "Old Man Jiang, the Gu family owes you a favor! Even if this marriage doesn't go through, the relationship between our families will not change because of this. "
"Haha."
Mr. Jiang laughed heartily and said, "That's enough for me! I've watched that little girl, Lan'er, grow up so let her be my granddaughter. Even if we can't become in-laws, I won't sit idly by if the Gu family is in trouble. "
The people of Main City may not be aware of the friendship between the two old men but Gu Ruoyun, who was standing next to them, could sense the mutual affection between the two old men.
This feeling has nothing to do with benefits nor does it have anything to do with the family. It is simply a friendship between bosom friends.
"Old Man Jiang, Old Man Gu, I've disturbed you for a long time today. It's time for me to leave." Gu Ruoyun slowly rose to her feet and smiled as she said, "By the way, I'll be staying in the Medicine Manor for the time being. However, I've already announced that I won't be seeing anyone for the next half a month. If you need anything, I'll come here to look for you."
"Alright," Old Man Jiang nodded and rose to his feet, "I'll let Wen Yan follow you back."
"No need."
Gu Ruoyun shook her head and said softly.
Within the main city, there were many eyes and ears from the great aristocratic families. If Wen Yan were to send them off, it would certainly attract the attention of many people.
After saying her piece, Gu Ruoyun did not stay any longer and headed out of the courtyard.
A peculiar light flashed across Wen Yan's gentle jade-like face as he stared at the green-robed figure leaving. After a long pause, he spoke in a low voice, "Maternal grandfather, Gu Ruoyun is very powerful. Do you think she can help me with that matter?"
Old Man Jiang was in a daze as he furrowed his brows. After a while, he slowly relaxed his brows. His elderly voice carried a sense of steadiness as it slowly rang out in the silence of the afternoon.
"Yan'er, I won't stop you no matter what you want to do. However, I have one thing to warn you. The Gu girl is very intelligent! If you try to use her, she'll see through it very quickly! Besides, even though I haven't spent too much time with this little girl, I know her principles. If you treat her with sincerity, she'll repay you in a thousand ways. However, if you harbor any ulterior motives, you can forget about getting her to trust you ever again in this lifetime! "
