Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Marriage Alliance with the Gu Family
Lu Mingzhen felt very dissatisfied at the ntion of Lan Yuyi. “When Sheng Qing didn’t want the Cui Family’s daughter, you definitely indulged him. And now you think I’m playing favourites? When I was choosing a wife for my son, I didn’t care about her family background. All I wanted was a girl who understands how to help her husband and is gentle and obedient. You were the one who said Lan Yuyi was gentle and obedient, that’s why I agreed to Sheng Qing’s marriage with Lan Yuyi!”
Madam Lu lowered her head. “She used to be gentle, seed kind and caring, I was deceived by her, and so was our son.”
“So, gentleness could be feigned, and kindness could be false, but a family background can neither be disguised nor faked!”
Lu Mingzhen’s voice was cold and stern, “We’ve been fooled once, we can’t take that risk again! This ti, we’ll find Lingche a woman from the best family background. The Gu Family’s daughter, at the very least, has proper etiquette, won’t be petty, and won’t commit heinous acts over money!”
Madam Lu felt a surge of jealousy within her. She clawed at her own flesh with her nails, yet maintained a caring mother’s facade on her face. “Indeed, the character of the Gu Family’s daughters goes without saying, but the Gu Family has four daughters, three from the first branch and one from the second branch. Which one are you considering for Lingche?”
“The second branch doesn’t have the power, what’s the point in having their daughter? It has to be one from the first branch!”
...
Lu Mingzhen asked a question frowning,”The first branch of the Gu family has three daughters? I rember there were only two, one being grood by Gu Chengqiao to run the company and the other is in the entertainnt industry. Who is the third one?”
“Indeed, they have three daughters. But the youngest one has serious health issues and has been living in the hospital. She doesn’t see outsiders, so many people don’t know that Gu Chengqiao has three daughters.”
Madam Lu put on a fake smile, “I wonder which daughter of Gu Chengqiao you want Lingche to marry?”
“Of course, it’s his eldest daughter, Gu Ranxuan.”
The fake smile on Madam Lu’s face froze. “The eldest daughter? Why would you choose the eldest daughter? If my mory serves right, the eldest daughter is twenty-eight years old this year, a year older than our Lingche!”
Lu Mingzhen was utterly unconcerned about the age difference. “So what? Being one year older is good too!”
“Won’t you consider the second daughter? I heard she has a better personality, more lively, I think she suits Lingche better. After all, Lingche doesn’t speak much, it might be best for him to be with soone vibrant and bright!”
Lu Mingzhen’s response was blunt: “I do not want one from the entertainnt circle! What good is being vibrant and bright? They shoot movies all day and are overly familiar with others. What good is such a wife who has no power and won’t be of any help to Lingche in the future.”
Madam Lu could no longer maintain her smile, she raised an eyebrow and asked: “What kind of help are you expecting his wife to provide for Lingche? He doesn’t need a wife with too much capability, does he?”
“Why not? Lingche has already said that he’s giving up his inheritance, he doesn’t want anything. Of course, I want to find him a wife with a good family background and ability. At least it makes up for him. With the eldest daughter of the Gu Family as his wife, he won’t fall into desperate conditions no matter what happens in the future.”
Madam Lu’s tone beca sour again, “So, you’ve already planned his future. Does Lingche know how much you care about him behind his back? How could he ever be destitute? He is still the CEO of the Shengling Group, holding the family’s economic lifeline, who knows how much money he has already earned.”
Lu Mingzhen was displeased, “No matter what, Lingche is my son. Are you hoping to see him penniless?”
“The wealth accumulated by the Lu Family over generations, even if Sheng Qing were to squander it, he would never be able to spend it all. What’s wrong with Lingche taking a bit of it?”
“Moreover, Lingche did not embezzle any money! I know this better than you!”
