Despite being displeased with Gu Chaoyan's rejection, Zhao Wuhuai realized that he had to let it go due to the circumstances. He forced a smile and suggested, "If you're short on time, we can discuss it here."
Gu Chaoyan remained silent, waiting for Zhao Wuhuai to continue.
Without hesitation, Zhao Wuhuai got straight to the point. "Phoenix Girl, you managed to acquire the authority token, didn't you?"
Zhao Dier burst into laughter upon hearing her father's words. She couldn't contain her amusement. "How is that possible? The authority token is in such high demand at the auction house. Father, don't be absurd!" Zhao Dier scoffed. She found it incredulous that Gu Chaoyan would have been able to obtain the authority token when Piaomiao Pavilion had failed to do so despite their efforts.
Zhao Wuhuai's expression soured at Zhao Dier's words.
He was deeply dissatisfied with her behavior.
