Lu Kexin’s face immediately turned ugly. “Dad, it’s like this, I heard that Gu Annan is taking over the entire Gu Family business. I’ve called him several times, but he’s always been incredibly busy. I think I shouldn’t bother him with my trivial matters.”

Lu Jingtian frowned thoughtfully. To win over someone like Gu Annan, Kexin still fell short.

What exactly does Gu Annan mean?

If it were just a matter of handling the arranged marriage as a business transaction, he could rest assured. What he feared most was a refusal of the marriage, as that would destabilize his position with the members of Jin’an Group’s board.

He recalled the process of Gu Annan agreeing to the marriage. Initially, he had agreed in person, but then the matter was disrupted because of Lu Wanwan. Later, it was merely his subordinate passing on the message confirming the engagement. Finally, a date was set, and during this period, there had been no further personal contact between them.

“Alright, since the engagement is still on schedule, do not bother him for now. As long as you become Gu Family’s Young Madam when the time comes, these minor issues will be insignificant,” Lu Jingtian offered as consolation. He guessed that even if Gu Annan married Lu Kexin, there wouldn’t be much affection.

...

But that’s what business marriages are like, there’s not always room for love and affection.

“Dad…” Lu Kexin, seeing that he had no intention to take her side, felt somewhat unwilling.

“Go and rest for now. I will confirm the marriage with the Gu Family again before the engagement,” Lu Jingtian didn’t want to continue the conversation.

“Okay, I will wait obediently during this time. Dad, can I invite my sister then? The engagement is a significant event in my life, and I hope to have the blessing of our whole family!”

“Your father will inform her when the time comes, hoping she understands your feelings.”

Lu Kexin finally smiled. How could she not allow Lu Wanwan to witness this moment with her own eyes?

However, her father had recently been too preoccupied to look into Lu Wanwan, so she decided to try it herself.

These past few days, Lu Wanwan had been especially busy, all because of Gu Annan telling her to learn cooking.

If it weren’t for the recent news that had the editor regard her in a new light, she would never be able to leave work punctually each day and rush back to Gu Mansion to receive careful instruction from the cook.

Ling Xiaoxue’s news had helped “Zui Entertainment” sales surpass “Star Headlines” once again, followed by the sensational news of Qiao Moran retiring from the entertainment industry, which brought a surge in sales yet left the entire newsroom anxious, placing them at the forefront of public discourse.

By Wednesday, the press conference arrived as scheduled. All the previous doubts silenced, and whether reluctantly or not, everyone congratulated her on another record-high commission, clamoring to be treated to a meal.

This time, Lu Wanwan dared not take any chances. She firmly refused to take part in such events until her agreement with Gu Annan was fulfilled.

Finally, on the weekend, she managed to contact Xu Yuan and made plans to visit Grandma in the hospital.

“No need to pay?” As she was about to leave, Lu Wanwan prepared to make another payment, but was told it wasn’t necessary.

“Ward 809 doesn’t need to top up the fees anymore.”

How strange. She clearly didn’t have much money left the last time. She was planning to use the two hundred thousand that Gu Annan had later given her for the hospital expenses. Why was it not needed now?

“There shouldn’t be much left, right? I’ll pay it now anyway. I’m worried that if I don’t have the time to come over next time, you’ll stop the medication,” she said.

The nurse explained kindly, “Here’s the situation. We recently had a new investor, and with policy adjustments, the hospital’s previous debts before acquisition have been settled, and there’s no need to pay them off. Since you, Miss Lu, had already contributed nearly a hundred thousand, all those funds will go towards future expenses. If you need money, you can also go downstairs to do the paperwork to withdraw a portion.”

Xu Yuan was also incredulous. “Can it really work this way? What kind of investor is so generous as to give money away?”
