Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

Lu Zhai.

"The Second Miss is back?"

The one speaking was the nanny; today was her first day at the Lu residence.

She grew up in the countryside with her wet nurse and had hardly ever been to the main house.

I wonder what this stepmother is planning to do by bringing them here today.

The matriarch of the Lu family died from postpartum hemorrhage during her birth. Not long after she passed away, Lu Yang brought a woman in with a child, clearly indicating that Lu Yang had been having an affair while Qiao Xialan was pregnant.

Lu Qingyun was sent to the countryside when she was three years old because Fang Nian, that woman, whispered in Lu Yang's ear. They haven't cared about her for twenty years. If they suddenly bring her here today, it can't be anything good.

"You've just arrived and you're already running around like this, not behaving like a socialite at all. This isn't the countryside, so don't cause any trouble for me and behave yourself."

Fang Nian, wearing a shawl made of fine satin, was slowly walking downstairs, her eyes filled with displeasure as she looked at Lu Qingyun.

The nanny was a little afraid of this lady, and she whispered to defend Lu Qingyun: "Miss went to see a friend and did not cause any trouble."

"Do you have a say here?"

Fang Nian glanced at the nanny, her whole demeanor exuding arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun clicked her tongue lightly, "Which sewer wasn't properly covered, and you had to climb up again?"

At first, Fang Nian didn't understand, but after realizing what she meant, her face turned red with anger.

As expected of a lowly country bumpkin, even her speech is so vulgar.

Fang Nian didn't have time to lecture her because Lu Qingyun had already gone upstairs.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Yang showed concern for Lu Qingyun, behaving like a perfect father.

"Little sister, this tastes good, you should try it."

Lu Yayun picked up a piece of tender fish and was about to put it into Lu Qingyun's bowl.

I am allergic to fish.

Lu Qingyun moved the bowl away.

Lu Yayun bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

"Sister, don't put food on her plate. Take it or leave it."

Lu Wen looked at Lu Qingyun with great displeasure.

Why would a country girl have so many fussy rules?

Around the middle of the meal, Lu Yang saw that Lu Qingyun had put down her bowl. He cleared his throat and said, "Qingyun, Dad has something to tell you."

coming.

Lu Qingyun leaned back. "Go ahead."

“We are currently working with the Gu family. There is a project that hasn’t been finalized yet. Also, I’ve heard that Mrs. Gu is looking for a wife for her grandson as a way to bring him good luck.”

Lu Yang organized his thoughts and, seeing that Lu Qingyun's face showed no displeasure, continued, "Qingyun, you're twenty-three this year, and it's time for you to get married. I've discussed it with the Gu family, and since your birth date and time are a perfect match for President Gu, three days from now is an auspicious day. Make preparations for that day, and don't go out aimlessly these next few days."

This is really something, and there's absolutely no room for negotiation.

However, Mr. Gu?

Was it the one she met today?

Marrying him is fine. Once he leaves, I can inherit a huge fortune and live a carefree life. It's also a good opportunity to get away from this whole family.

Lu Qingyun silently made plans in her mind.

"Okay."

"Not Dad... huh?"

Lu Yang thought Lu Qingyun would refuse and was even planning to say a few words to comfort her, but to his surprise, Lu Qingyun agreed so quickly.

"Qingyun, this is a rare opportunity. Once you marry into the Gu family, you will be the young mistress of President Gu. No one will be able to bully you. If your brother has any problems at work, you can help him out more."

Fang Nian was also making her own plans.

Lu Yayun was originally supposed to marry into the Gu family, but Gu Jinming was known for his poor health and unpredictable personality. He might become a widow at any time. Even if the Gu family was very wealthy, Lu Yayun was unwilling to marry into the family.

Fang Nian then thought of Lu Qingyun and brought her from the countryside to marry in place of Lu Yayun.

Lu Qingyun glanced at Lu Wen and laughed, "He's not my son."

The implication was, why should I help him?

Lu Wen's face immediately turned ugly.

Fang Nian frowned, wanting to lecture her a bit more, but Lu Yang said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let Qingyun go upstairs and rest first. We can talk about other things later."

This might seem like they're protecting Lu Qingyun, but in reality, they're helping Fang Nian and the others.

Lu Qingyun was too lazy to talk to them, so she pulled out a chair and went upstairs.

-

Gu Zhai.

The Gu family residence is a century-old house with a traditional courtyard feel, and it has a particularly antique charm.

On the table.

The table was round and had many seats, but only Gu Jinming and the old lady were at the table.

The Gu family doesn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.

The dishes on the table were all relatively light, in order to cater to Gu Jinming's taste.

His appetite was good today; he was able to finish at least half a bowl of rice.

The old lady smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face when she saw him like this.

It must be because of the wedding to bring good luck that Jinming was able to eat.

"I heard from Tang Meng that you had another attack of your illness today? I'll have Zhou Ming take a look at you later."

Zhou Ming, who was recently promoted to A-level pharmacist, is currently taking on apprentices, but the news hasn't spread yet. Those who have heard a little bit about it have already started preparing for it.

Gu Jinming wiped his mouth with a tissue. "No need, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere right now."

The old lady frowned. "I'll feel more at ease if you check on Grandma."

Gu Jinming pursed his lips; he never refused the affection of the elderly.

"Oh, right, about that thing I told you before..."

"can."

"Huh? You agreed?"

Madam Gu was somewhat taken aback. Her grandson had always been indifferent to women, and when he heard about the marriage proposal, he was extremely resistant. How could he have changed his mind after just one day away?

However, it was good that Gu Jinming had no objection, and the old lady did not ask any further questions.

Not long after he finished eating, Zhou Ming came over to examine him. The latter raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You're in good shape today. Your pulse is much better than usual."

Zhou Ming is a man of similar age to Gu Jinming. His handsome face is the type that many girls admire, and you can see his canine teeth when he smiles.

Gu Jinming leaned back lazily in his wheelchair. "I met a girl whose medical skills are better than yours."

"impossible."

There aren't many A-level pharmacists these days. Besides him, there's Ning Zheyan and another woman named Shan Li.

Gu Jinming's illness is something that only a Grade A pharmacist would know where to begin.

"believe it or not."

Gu Jinming slid his wheelchair around, a thin jacket draped over his shoulders, his fair neck slightly exposed, giving him a fatal allure.

"Hey, Mr. Jin, I heard you're getting married to the second young lady of the Lu family in three days?"

Zhou Ming called out to him.

Speaking of this, Gu Jinming suddenly stopped rushing back to his room. He turned his wheelchair and slid it back to its original position. "I remember you know some wedding dress designers. I need you to make several wedding dresses within these three days, using the best materials. Also, I want the wedding to be big, preferably the kind that will cause a sensation throughout the capital. I want them all to know that Lu Qingyun is mine."

Zhou Ming exclaimed in surprise, looking particularly puzzled.

Just a few days ago, didn't Master Jin say he was going to kidnap Miss Lu to scare her and make her back down?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?
