Chapter 1158 - 1158 1158 I Have Someone I Like Now
Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158 I Have Someone I Like Now Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158 I Have Someone I Like Now “The marriage alliance is a joint decision made by the Gu Family and the Lu Family, and both of us have no say in the matter. Even if I spoke to my father, it would be useless. President Lu couldn’t prevent your father either, could he?”
Gu Ranxuan frowned slightly, “I still hope President Lu will consider this decision carefully. I am the most suitable marriage alliance partner you could find. If we marry, it will be very beneficial for both of our careers. Choosing someone else might not bring you the same assistance.”
Lu Lingche said coldly, “I don’t need someone else’s help.”
“Yes, I know you are a very capable person, but sometimes inheriting a family business and a conglomerate isn’t about capability, but rather favoritism. Elders have their favored juniors, and even if that junior has mediocre talents and is unfit for a heavy responsibility, the elders might stubbornly let him inherit.”
Gu Ranxuan gave a bitter smile and said softly, “Your situation and mine are actually quite similar. You have an older brother, and I have a younger brother; neither of us is the favored one. Therefore, we both should seek a force to back us, so we can keep what we want.”
Lu Lingche found her to be too long-winded, and a trace of impatience flashed across his handsome face, “I already have someone I like, so it’s impossible for me to enter a marriage alliance with you. You may leave now.”
Gu Ranxuan was startled for a moment, not expecting him to openly admit that he liked someone else. But, she quickly started to chuckle, “President Lu, even if you have someone you like, you can’t marry her now, can you? You’ve said it yourself, you have no control over your marriage. We are in the same situation. In families like ours, you can’t just marry whoever you like. Family alliances consider the interests of the family, and personal feelings mean nothing.”
Lu Lingche indeed couldn’t marry Qiao Yin at the moment, but it wasn’t for the reason Gu Ranxuan mentioned.
The real reason was that Qiao Yin was unwilling to marry, not because he was constrained by his family.
However, he was too lazy to explain so much to Gu Ranxuan. He continued to fiddle with the chess piece in his hand, as if it were a rare treasure.
“President Lu, a marriage alliance is beneficial for both of us. We don’t necessarily need to act like a real husband and wife. We can just be partners, help each other, and support each other. On the surface, you would be my husband, but privately, you could still be with the person you like. This way it’s the best of both worlds.”
Lu Lingche was so shocked by her suggestion that he nearly dropped the chess piece in his hand. Have Qiao Yin become his secret lover? If Qiao Yin found out, she would kill him!
His expression turned very ugly, “That’s not possible! Miss Gu, please leave. I am busy with work. Yuanshan, see the guest out!”
The assistant, seeing his changed demeanor, approached Gu Ranxuan, “Miss Gu, this way, please. I’ll escort you downstairs.”
Gu Ranxuan shook her head at Yuanshan, “No need to escort me, I can go by myself. Please ask President Lu to consider my words again and not act on emotion.”
After saying this, she walked out of Lu Lingche’s office.
Although she knew the talk wouldn’t go smoothly before she came, Gu Ranxuan still found the outcome difficult to accept.
She drove back to Guotai Group, and upon entering her own office, saw Gu Ranmo sitting at her desk, browsing through the company files.
She went up and took the file from Gu Ranmo’s hands, “Why have you come to the company? Didn’t dad ask you to stay home with mom? Her mood has been very unstable recently, she needs company.”
“Mom has been much better lately. Qiao Yin may be disgusting, but with her around, mom has nearly forgotten about her disfigurement. All she thinks about now is dealing with Qiao Yin, so she doesn’t need my company anymore.”
Gu Ranmo sat back in the chair, leaned her head back, and carelessly twirled a pen, “She said that I should also come to the company to familiarize myself and to help you with some of the company’s affairs to lighten your load.”
“I don’t need your help. Just don’t create trouble for me.”
“Oh, you don’t need it?”
Gu Ranmo suddenly smiled, “Big sister, you just went to Shengling Group to see Lu Lingche, right? Was it regarding the marriage proposal you discussed with him?”
