My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 811: Chapter 811: You Want to Marry Gu Chengqiao’s Daughter?

Lu Mingzhen shook his head, “I didn’t discuss it with him. Lingche is very independent, but when it comes to a major matter like marriage, he has to listen to me. Besides, there is no girl more excellent than the eldest daughter of the Gu family. He couldn’t possibly be unwilling.”

Gu Chengqiao could tell that in the Lu family, it was still Lu Mingzhen who had the final say. Although Lu Lingche had become the CEO of the corporation, he still had to listen to his father.

Gu Chengqiao was very pleased because, in reality, the marriage of Gu Ranxuan was also under the control of her father. Saying that he would go back and consult Ranxuan’s opinion was just an excuse to delay.

Wealthy family alliance marriages were never something the children could decide.

Lu Mingzhen was more straightforward than he had imagined, which made Gu Chengqiao feel more fond of and trust in him. He was even more eager to arrange an alliance marriage with the Lu family.

Because he heard that the Dongfang family was about to form a marriage alliance with the Cui family, he was very anxious, hoping his eldest daughter would marry a man with a better family background and more outstanding abilities than Dongfang Mu.

...

Although his second daughter was close to another young master of the Dongfang family, Gu Chengqiao had always refused to let them announce their relationship or even discuss marriage.

After all, Dongfang Qi, though sharing the Dongfang surname, was strictly speaking, the son of the Jiang family, and not a direct descendant of the Dongfang family. Whether he could inherit the Eastern Empire Group was still up in the air!

Dongfang Mu was the true scion of the Dongfang family; even if the old man of the Dongfang family favored his daughter and grandson, when it came to selecting a family heir, he wouldn’t be confused. Vying for the family inheritance was more likely to go to Dongfang Mu.

Even the old man’s deliberate favoritism towards the grandson not born into the Dongfang family, and his actions that seemed to pave the way for Dongfang Qi to inherit the Eastern Empire, might be a ploy to stimulate his true grandson, to encourage him to grow up quickly and to pick a helpful Yue family rather than a mere trophy wife.

It was said that the old man’s health was deteriorating, and he likely wouldn’t last much longer, so he was in a hurry to see his grandson settled down.

While he was thinking, his mobile phone rang.

Gu Chengqiao picked it up and saw it was Gu Chengsong calling.

He frowned imperceptibly and answered the call.

A moment later, he hung up and apologized to Lu Mingzhen, “Sorry, something came up at home. Mingzhen, let’s meet another day. I still have a bottle of good wine for us to share; you mustn’t refuse.”

Lu Mingzhen nodded, “I won’t refuse. Since there’s an issue at home, you better hurry back. Matters involving our children are not urgent at this moment.”

Gu Chengqiao nodded and took his leave.

After Gu Chengqiao left, Lu Mingzhen thought for a while and still decided to give his son a heads-up, even though he had seemed very adamant in front of Gu Chengqiao. In truth, he wasn’t sure he could actually control his son anymore.

The phone rang for a long while before it was answered, and Lu Lingche’s indifferent voice came through, “What’s up?”

“Of course, there’s something! Why else would I call you?”

“Speak.”

“I just had a chat with Gu Chengqiao of the Guotai Group. I’m planning an alliance marriage with the Gu family.”

“You’re marrying Gu Chengqiao’s daughter?”

His son’s words made Lu Mingzhen feel a rush of blood to his head, and he took a moment before responding angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting! Of course, it’s you who’s marrying!”

“I don’t need to!”

After saying this, Lu Lingche hung up the phone directly.

Lu Mingzhen listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, feeling waves of darkness before his eyes with rage.

Whom was he doing all this for? Wasn’t it for Lu Lingche? Yet his son didn’t appreciate it one bit!

Such an ungrateful wretch, he’d never listened to him since childhood, and even less so now that he was grown!

However, when it came to his son’s marriage, he couldn’t really just wash his hands of the matter. Lu Shengqing had taken a fancy to Lan Yuyi once, and he didn’t interfere; what was the result? It caused nothing but chaos at home.

This time he had to take charge.
