Chapter 12 The Best Marital Relationship is Platonic.
As soon as he sat down, Huo Huaisui couldn't wait to share the freshly baked gossip with Lu Fengqing.
"I heard that last night Madam Tang sent people to arrest Tang Xingzhou and forcibly sent him to a private hospital for a full-body checkup, for fear that he had contracted some disease... Haha, that's hilarious."
Lu Fengqing didn't smile, and told her about the two families' decision to cancel the engagement.
Huo Huaisui's smile faded, and he asked curiously, "Has Madam Tang come looking for you?"
Lu Fengqing: "She went to the hospital to see my grandfather, but he didn't see her."
As for herself...
The title "Miss Lu" only sounds prestigious.
Ultimately, she was just an illegitimate daughter whose father was unknown, and her mother was gone. Her only support was her maternal grandfather, who spent money extravagantly. The wealthy ladies were afraid that if their sons married her, she would bankrupt them. They didn't even dare to let their sons date her. It's quite ridiculous when you think about it.
Madam Tang was one of them.
If it weren't for Mr. Tang's decision to arrange the marriage, Mrs. Tang would definitely not have wanted her son to be with her.
Tang Xingzhou is not the sole heir of the Tang family. He has an older half-brother and several cousins. There is fierce infighting within the Tang family, and Madam Tang would not want her son to marry a daughter-in-law who would be of no help to him.
Having finally found a chance to cancel the engagement, Madam Tang was overjoyed and wouldn't bother coming to find her.
Huo Huaisui: "Where is Lu Yuhan?"
Lu Fengqing said, "My second aunt plans to send her to Y City."
Wen Ying's family is in Y City, and she asked them to find Lu Yuhan a job there.
Huo Huai Sui: "Does Tang Xing Zhou not care about her?"
Lu Fengqing shook her head. "I don't know."
"Hmph, scumbag and bitch!" After cursing, Huo Huai Sui suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Feng Qing with satisfaction and admiration. "You did a good job last night."
Lu Fengqing knew that she was referring to sending out photos of Lu Yuhan's messy private life to the public, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything.
Huo Huai Sui, in a good mood, changed the subject, "Your grandfather has been urging you to get married, hasn't he? Now that your engagement with the Tang family has been canceled, what are you planning to do next?"
On the small stage in the center of the hall, the pianist's fingers danced swiftly across the keys, the soft, lyrical music perfectly masking the hushed whispers from the various booths.
Lu Fengqing took a sip of her warm coffee and leaned back in her chair in a relaxed posture. "Find an obedient ATM and get married."
...
"Find an obedient ATM and marry him."
In the booth behind Lu Fengqing, a handsome man with excellent hearing heard these words, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes turned cold.
"Mr. Gu, are you listening to me?"
Seeing that the man was distracted, Zhang Qin couldn't help but raise her voice.
She didn't want to come on the blind date, but her parents forced her, mysteriously saying she would definitely be satisfied. But looking across the entire City A, there were only a few men who could satisfy her, and those men were either already taken or averse to women, avoiding them like the plague. She just thought her mother was fooling her and didn't take it too seriously.
She and her best friend had planned a trip abroad and booked a flight for this evening. She originally intended to just come and take a quick look around, but she never expected that her blind date would turn out to be the young master of the Gu family, who had just returned from abroad!
That's the Gu family, the richest family in the world. If she and the Gu family's heir can get together, she'll be a rich lady for the rest of her life, and she can brag about it as much as she wants in her group of 24K pure gold sisters!
The thought of seeing those women's envious and jealous eyes made her dream come true!
Especially that Miss Lu.
So what if he's the young master of the Tang family? He's not even worth a single hair on the head of the Gu family's heir!
If she had known that her blind date was with this young master, she would have dressed up more carefully.
Gu Suixing nodded. "I'm listening. Please continue."
Just as a piano piece finished playing, Lu Fengqing heard the sound, paused for two seconds, and turned around to look behind her.
"Given Mr. Gu's qualifications, you must have no shortage of suitors. You are also quite young, so why did you choose to come here for a blind date?"
"It's hard to disobey one's mother."
"Mr. Gu is very filial. I wonder what kind of partner Mr. Gu prefers?"
"She's sexually frigid. Ideally, she'd find someone with whom she can have a platonic relationship after marriage."
"..."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
It really was him.
He actually dared to say he wanted a platonic, aloof woman for marriage.
Seeing that Lu Fengqing had been tilting her head and hadn't moved for a while, Huo Huaisui asked, "Niannian, what are you looking at?"
Lu Fengqing shook her head.
Zhang Qin's smile faltered slightly. "Could you please tell me why?"
"Physical reasons."
"..."
Zhang Qin took a deep breath and forced herself not to read any further.
She said, "With the prince's qualifications, why would he need to go on blind dates?"
It turns out he had a hidden illness!
Good heavens! If word got out that "the young master of the Gu family is impotent," every socialite in City A would probably be heartbroken.
Zhang Qin hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
Although the Crown Prince is outstanding in both appearance and background, she is no less so.
It's not like I can't get married; there's no need to be with a man who's "good-looking but useless."
Zhang Qin glanced at her watch. "Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Gu. I have to catch a 6 o'clock flight, and it's getting late, so I'll have to keep you company no longer. I wish you find your true love soon."
Gu Suixing nodded, "I hope Miss Zhang can keep this a secret."
Zhang Qin quickly replied, "Definitely."
Having a hidden illness is not shameful; what is shameful is concealing or deceiving about it. Judging from this, the Crown Prince's character is still good. Even if he doesn't mention it, she won't tell anyone.
Besides, she didn't need to offend the Gu family, or even the young master of the Gu family, just to satisfy her craving for words.
Sigh, all I can say is that God is fair.
Nobody's perfect.
"Have a safe journey." Gu Suixing remained seated, showing no intention of seeing anyone off.
Seeing his cold and indifferent demeanor, Zhang Qin completely lost hope.
Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't come today.
Zhang Qin stood up with her bag in her hand. She had only taken a few steps forward when she saw Lu Fengqing and Huo Huaisui sitting in the booth, and she stopped in her tracks.
"Oh my, isn't this Miss Lu?"
When Lu Fengqing saw the other person, four words came to mind: "enemies meet on a narrow road."
My second thought was about her look today: what she wore, whether she wore makeup, and what jewelry she wore.
Oh, today she's wearing a Chloe puff-sleeved blouse and a Hermes mini skirt, with light makeup, a jade necklace worth over 200,000 yuan, a watch worth over 100,000 yuan, and an LV bag worth over 40,000 yuan next to her.
If I had to point out anything that wasn't perfect, it would probably be that her foot injury hadn't healed, and she was wearing Chanel flat sandals, which made her lose the domineering aura she had when she was wearing sky-high heels.
Zhang Qin didn't bother to examine Lu Fengqing's attire today; her eyes were filled with schadenfreude. "The Lu family and the Tang family have canceled their marriage alliance. There's no need for a wedding, no need to order the pigeon-egg diamond ring, those twelve custom-made dresses can be returned, and the bling-bling diamond-encrusted wedding dress doesn't need to be made either. We don't even need to worry about the precious flowers that were just planted on the private island not blooming on the wedding day. Everything is just as Miss Lu wished."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
Huo Huai Sui nervously bit her fork. If she remembered correctly, she was the one who helped Lu Niannian show off those words.
...
In the next booth, the man who was quietly listening to the opera raised an eyebrow slightly.
