My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 735 - : Can’t Marry Down

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Can’t Marry Down

Chu Qi was shocked: “What did you say?! How is that even possible?”

“There’s nothing impossible about it, that’s what he told me himself last night.”

“Has he gone mad? Without a marital alliance with you, how can he secure the Dongfang family’s inheritance? I heard his cousin Dongfang Qi’s status has been rising lately, and it seems he’s going to ally through marriage with the Gu family. The Dongfang family patriarch is even getting ready to give the inheritance to his grandson-in-law instead of his own grandson!”

Cui Shuqian frowned slightly: “Although their family patriarch does indeed favor his grandson-in-law due to his affection for his daughter, Dongfang Mu doesn’t seem too worried. The inheritance probably won’t be handed over to Dongfang Qi anytime soon.”

“Huh? Why isn’t Dongfang Mu worried? Doesn’t he want to inherit the family wealth and Eastern Empire Group?”

“Of course he wants to inherit, but, a grandson-in-law is still an outsider. Regardless of how outstanding Dongfang Qi is, his surname is not Dongfang, but Jiang. I believe the patriarch of the Dongfang family also has his concerns, afraid that the family line and business empire he built with his own hands will all bear the Jiang surname in the future. That’s why he can’t make up his mind.”

Cui Shuqian spoke softly: “Dongfang Mu is the true legitimate heir of the Dongfang family, he would never betray his family. This is his biggest advantage, and he is the person their family patriarch trusts the most. That’s why Dongfang Mu is so relaxed and doesn’t seem too concerned about the marital alliance. He has other options.”

“You also have other options. Although the Dongfang family is great, Dongfang Mu is too fickle. If you marry him, you will inevitably end up cleaning up his messes and dealing with his romantic escapades, it’s unfair to you! If Dongfang Mu is not keen on the alliance, then forget about him. You can choose someone else!”

“No, I don’t have any other options.”

Chu Qi looked at her in confusion: “How can you not have other options? There are so many eligible bachelors. Recently, Xie Xingchen of the Xie family has been gaining attention. Although his family got rich overnight, he himself is quite good. I’ve met him and he doesn’t come off as a nouveau riche. He acts like a nobleman and is very handsome. He’s also very sensible in the way he speaks and acts, why don’t you try getting to know him?”

Cui Shuqian shook her head: “The Xie family is out of question. They got their wealth unorthodoxly, and their business isn’t on the regular path. They could crumble at any time. Secondly, their family’s reputation isn’t great. Even though their wealth is astonishing, sadly they lack depth and roots. They can’t be counted among the prestigious families. Marrying into such a family won’t add any glory to me, it wouldn’t mean anything.”

“Even if the Xie family isn’t eligible, what about the Wang or Zhou family? How can you say you have no other options?”

“Because I intend to marry into the top-tier family, certainly. I can’t let myself be outdone by Gu Ranxuan, I must surpass her in this regard, I mustn’t lose! Neither the Wang family nor the Zhou family can compare to the Dongfang family, they are too far behind the Cui family too. I can’t marry beneath my status, do you understand?”

Chu Qi opened her mouth wide in surprise, it took her a while to sigh: “Ah, I understand you not wanting to marry beneath your status, but Gu Ranxuan… You’re still competing with her. You two have been competing since you were kids, whether it’s academic achievement, popularity, pursuers, and now even husband’s families.”

“It’s not that I want to compete with her, it’s that she’s overly competitive. She always wants to be ahead of me in everything. How can I tolerate that? Furthermore, in the past she even—”

Cui Shuqian didn’t continue.

But Chu Qi spoke for her: “I know, she stole your boyfriends twice, and after she got them, she dumped them immediately. You’ve been laughed at quite a bit because of this.”
