My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 815 - : Gu Guotai’s Wish

Chapter 815: Chapter 815: Gu Guotai’s Wish

Hou Jinhua hadn’t expected to be scolded once again. She was both angry and embarrassed, her face flushing deep red as she clenched her teeth, not daring to make a sound.

In her heart, she deeply resented Gu Chengqiao. The matter of their daughter’s marriage was something he could have quietly discussed at home with her, his wife. There was no need to bring it up with the old master, causing her to be scolded again.

Seeing that she was now behaving, Gu Guotai then said to his son, “Chengqiao, continue, what exactly did Lu Mingzhen say?”

“Lu Mingzhen said that his son, Lu Lingche’s wedding was actually to fulfill a wish of his deceased eldest son; the one who married Lu Lingche was actually his eldest sister-in-law, and the two of them merely went through the motions without anything else happening. The child, as they declared today, is indeed not Lu Lingche’s; it belongs to his elder brother, Lu Shengqing.”

Gu Guotai nodded, “These statements had already been rumored before; I thought they were all nonsense, but it turns out to be true. The Lu Family… really favors the eldest son, going to such lengths for the eldest’s wish, twisting the arm of the second son without fearing for his reputation in the slightest.”

Gu Chengqiao, fearing his father’s dissatisfaction with the marriage alliance to the Lu Family, quickly said, “Dad, although they favor the eldest son, the eldest son is no longer here. In the future, won’t everything of the Lu Family still belong to Lu Lingche? A slight dent in Lu Lingche’s reputation isn’t a big deal. As long as a man is capable, the rest doesn’t matter.”

...

“So Lu Mingzhen wants to engage our home’s which daughter for his son?”

“He wants to engage Xuanxuan.”

Gu Guotai snorted, “He sure knows how to choose! Xuanxuan is the most outstanding in our Gu Family!”

“They are a match in terms of status, and both are equally capable, equally chaste. Lu Lingche is a rare stream of purity in a rich family, seldom involved in scandals, quite a match for our family’s Xuanxuan. Besides Lu Lingche, I can’t think of any other suitable men for Xuanxuan.”

Gu Jing stood by the side, hesitating to speak.

What kind of decent man is Lu Lingche? Has his father gone blind? Lu Lingche obviously has his sight set on Qiao Yin, that’s why he doesn’t want his wife and child anymore, putting on an act with a public announcement, spouting nonsense about ending his marriage with Lan Yuyi, and claiming the child isn’t his.

He’s fooling the devil! The child must be his; he is only claiming it to be his elder brother’s to pursue Qiao Yin! His elder brother is the real tragedy – dead and still being blamed!

But these words, he had no concrete evidence for, so even if he said them, it wouldn’t be useful and might even earn him another scolding from his grandfather.

Forget it, he should keep quiet then, at worst, he’d go to his eldest sister later to give her a heads-up. After all, if the eldest sister-in-law doesn’t want to marry Lu Lingche, then this marriage will not happen.

Although Gu Guotai saw his grandson’s hesitation, he didn’t take it seriously. He said unhurriedly, “There’s no rush on this matter. Lu Lingche has only just announced his divorce. If our side immediately puts out news of a marriage alliance with them, it would be disadvantageous for the Gu Family as well as for Xuanxuan. Let’s wait a few more days before we discuss it.”

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking as well. That’s why I didn’t agree to Lu Mingzhen on the spot. I’ve specifically arranged to have drinks with him next time, and we can talk further then.”

Gu Guotai, having been angry all night, finally felt a bit more at ease, “Well done, the Lu Family is indeed a good choice for a marriage alliance.”

His thoughts went quite far. If they could form a marriage alliance with the Lu Family, the rankings among the four great families might well be reshuffled! With a powerful ally, the Gu Family could possibly surpass the Dongfang Family and trample them underfoot!

This had long been his wish.

Although the Dongfang Family had recently been trying hard to mend ties with the Gu Family, even considering a marriage alliance, Gu Guotai still found it difficult to let go of the old grudges.

After all, it was the Dongfang Family that had caused his leg to be in its current state many years ago!
