Chapter 912: Chapter 914: Looks Can’t Put Food on the Table
"Not much to say, aside from that face being nice to look at, he doesn’t seem like he’ll amount to anything." Fang Yue thought about the words Pei Yicheng said to her that day, and felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart. So whenever Yicheng was mentioned, she couldn’t put on a pleasant face.
"I heard he’s in construction?" Gu Mingzhu asked again.
"No idea." Fang Yue had absolutely no interest in anything related to Pei Yicheng.
Gu Hai looked at Gu Mingzhu, seemingly unsure of what exactly she was plotting.
"Nianhua is my biological sister. To pair her with someone like that, truly a waste of her." Gu Mingzhu said softly, "A handsome face can’t be eaten like a meal."
"So?" Gu Hai vaguely understood what she was getting at.
"Of course, we need to find a better match for my sister. We can’t ruin her life, right?" Gu Mingzhu blinked and said, "A few days ago, I heard from Jun He that Xie Liang is looking for a wife, going on blind dates everywhere."
Xie Liang?
Fang Yue immediately knew who Gu Mingzhu was talking about. The only son of the Xie Family, the Xie Family wasn’t short of anything but money. It is said that their ancestors were high-ranking officials, with countless treasures. Now, the Xie Family was in the construction business, building houses. Who knew how much money they made from those houses, do people even live in them?
Nowadays, people rely on company welfare to allocate housing, or they already have their homes. There aren’t many buying houses.
However, while the Xie Family was rich, Xie Liang had a limp. Not just a small limp, but a very noticeable one. His walking posture was particularly unsightly; still, many hung out with him because of his wealth.
Fang Yue had also heard about Xie Liang’s numerous blind dates. The Xie Family was very picky. Although Xie Liang limped, he wouldn’t just consider any woman; he insisted on a college graduate and a pretty one at that.
"Don’t underestimate Xie Liang’s looks or his leg. The family is rich, and more importantly, they said that whoever has a son with Xie Liang would be the savior and treasure of the Xie Family. If my sister marries into the Xie Family, riches and honor would never run out. Why toil at school, or work hard for money, wouldn’t you agree?"
The more Gu Mingzhu talked, the more she found the plan feasible. It would not only solve the Gu Family’s problems but also ensure Xu Nianhua would never surpass her in life.
"How could she possibly agree?" Fang Yue thought of meeting Xu Nianhua earlier. She looked very pretty and had her own ideas, with two brothers protecting her, and she still hadn’t accepted the Gu Family!
Whenever Xu Nianhua called her ’Auntie Gu,’ the anger in her heart made her want to vomit blood. She was the one who carried her for ten months and gave birth to her; how could she now be an ’aunt’?
"Why wouldn’t she agree to such a good deal? We are thinking about her happiness." Gu Mingzhu earnestly said.
Fang Yue thought the plan was flawed and instinctively looked at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai stood up, hands behind his back, gazing out the window, and said, "Mingzhu, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family, holding a marriage certificate."
"Dad, I know. I will have a good talk with Brother Jing." Seeing that Gu Hai didn’t agree but neither firmly opposed, Gu Mingzhu felt the plan was particularly viable.
...
"Shuyuan, how’s business going lately?" Xu Nianhua arrived at Ji Shuyuan’s stall, smiling as she asked.
