Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 485: Chapter 256: I Believe You Won’t Lie to Me! _1

The intersection between the Zhao Family and the Gao Family right now is the precious Aquatic Sovereign Beast that they have captured.

Once the issue of ownership of the Aquatic Sovereign Beast is settled, and our family receives sufficient compensation…

Zhao Junwei is prepared to give up sea trade entirely, severing all ties with the Gao Family!

After this storm, even if Lu City is rebuilt, the sea trade business will certainly be severely impacted.

With this attack by the Sea Clan, Lu City will inevitably develop animosity against them, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of sea trade.

Those working in sea trade must understand how dangerous it is to make a living on the sea.

They can be attacked by Sea Beasts at any time.

In such circumstances, the labor cost could increase by at least five to ten times.

Rather than continuing to invest heavily in sea trade, the Zhao Family might as well put their resources into the cultivation of raw materials, a job with nearly zero risk.

Just as Zhao Junwei was prepared to, once again out of the many years of friendship, give Gao Hongying a heads up…

Gao Hongying’s clenched fist pounded on the table twice, and his personal butler immediately entered the room.

First, he glanced in the direction of Zhao Junwei, then asked softly.

“Master, do you have any instructions?”

Gao Hongying casually looked at the lines on the palm of his left hand, then asked in an offhand manner.

“What has Wen Yuan been doing since she came back?”

As Gao Hongying’s personal butler who has served for several decades…

The old man clearly understands Gao Hongying’s personality and thoughts.

When Gao Wenyuan was needed, Gao Hongying treated her like his own daughter.

But now, Gao Wenyuan has been discounted because she didn’t get things done.

If Gao Wenyuan truly no longer has any value, Gao Hongying will definitely squeeze out her remaining usefulness before quickly discarding her.

Having a non-direct-descendant female member as the Noble Lady of the Gao Family is not a glorious thing.

It can easily become gossip during other forces’ leisure time.

Gao Wenyuan becoming the Noble Lady of the Gao Family was never because of her merits or irreplaceability.

But because having Gao Wenyuan in the position of the Noble Lady made it easier to achieve Gao Hongying’s goals.

Just now, Gao Hengyun came to see Gao Hongying, expressing his intention to make Gao Wenyuan, who was from side branches, his concubine.

Such words are inappropriate, considering that Gao Wenyuan has already become the Gao Family’s Noble Girl.

But Gao Hongying only reprimanded Gao Hengyun, without imposing any substantial punishment.

This is because Gao Hengyun is Gao Hongying’s biological son.

The underlying reason why the Gao Family has avoided selecting a Noble Lady for so many years is because of Gao Hongying’s value for his own bloodline.

Gao Hongying has brothers, some of whom have very attractive daughters.

But Gao Hongying did not plan to give his brothers’ daughters the opportunity.

Otherwise, how could the position of the Noble Lady of the Gao Family remain vacant up to now, for the turn of Gao Wenyuan!?

The old man is certain that if Gao Wenyuan fails to successfully attract Jianmu, and no other major clans propose to her…

Gao Wenyuan is indeed destined to become Gao Hengyun’s concubine!

“Master, Miss Wenyan has stayed in her room since she came back.”

“She must be upset because she couldn’t share your troubles!”

“Shall I call Miss Wenyan over?”

Hearing the Butler’s address towards Gao Wenyuan, Gao Hongying grumbled lightly.

From this grumble, Zhao Junwei keenly felt Gao Hongying’s attitude towards Gao Wenyuan.

“Go and call her over.”

“Before she comes, make sure she dresses carefully. Tell her that I am giving her one last chance tonight.”

“If she still can’t do it, let her go find Hengyun first thing tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, the old man sensed the hidden meaning in Gao Hongying’s words: Gao Hongying was giving Gao Wenyuan a final ultimatum.

Although the housekeeper was unable to accompany Gao Hongying to the closely-watched trade meeting, he understood one thing.

If Jianmu had truly taken an interest in Gao Wenyuan due to her appearance…

Then under the deliberate arrangement of Gao Hongying and Gao Wenyuan at the trade meeting…

Gao Wenyuan should have stayed with Jianmu!

Why would she need to return with Gao Hongying and Gao Hengyun?

After the initial failure, how can success be achieved so suddenly?

The old man, as Gao Hongying’s personal butler and the overall head of the Gao Family…

Gao Hongying trusts his personal butler more than his own brothers, which placed the old man in a position of power within the Gao Family, second only to Gao Hongying.

All of Gao Hongying’s understanding of Gao Wenyuan came from the butler’s investigations.

Thus, the old man was even more familiar with Gao Wenyuan’s character than Gao Hongying.

Gao Wenyuan has always been self-satisfied as a Noble Lady, little knowing that there is a price tag attached to all the benefits.

If she can’t deliver value, then she must repay in other ways.

Gao Wenyuan thought that after returning to the Gao Family, she would be able to rest for a while.

The postponement of the Sea Ceremony due to the current disputes would provide her with more preparation time.

However, before she could even warm her seat, Gao Hengyun charged into her room without a word.

He consecutively unleashed a series of humiliations on her, then went to find Gao Hongying in an attempt to turn her into his concubine!

Gao Hengyun’s actions completely rattled Gao Wenyuan.

Gao Wenyuan, with a cluttered mind, waited for the Gao Family’s decision.

Gao Wenyuan thought that even if she fell short of her duties, Gao Hongying could punish her…
