Chapter 94 You Have to Marry Me Whether You Want to or Not
Where?
Lu Fengqing: "Just went out."
Lu Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "Where to?"
Lu Fengqing chuckled softly, "I made plans to have afternoon tea with a few girlfriends."
Her older brother suddenly called, so it seems he knows about Rui Rui calling her.
She wasn't that impulsive and had no intention of going to the Dou family.
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Feng Xu and Feng Yao's flight is tonight. They don't have anything to do tomorrow, so they'll go back to the Lu residence and have a meal together."
Lu Fengqing indicated that she understood.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Lu Fengqing got out of the car carrying her belongings.
The same three people I met up with this time were the same ones from last time.
None of us are short of money, but everyone likes to receive a gift.
Lu Fengqing gave the woman who reminded her to ask her brothers to fight for the project a silk scarf. "Last time you bought a dress and said you couldn't find a silk scarf to match it, so I bought it when I went out this time and found a suitable one."
The woman was surprised that Lu Fengqing remembered her casual remark. Holding the silk scarf, she smiled broadly and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Lu Fengqing also catered to the other two women's preferences, giving them perfume and a set of skincare products that could only be bought abroad, respectively.
The four women chatted casually for a while before sitting down around the mahjong table.
"I heard that the Lu family has secured the cooperation rights for that project in the West District. Congratulations, Miss Lu."
Once someone started, the other two followed suit and offered their congratulations.
Everyone knew that it was a lucrative project, so the fact that the Gu family chose the half-dead Lu family was truly astonishing.
Regardless, being able to participate in the collaborative development of this project is ultimately a good thing for the Lu family. What the Lu family needs now is time. As long as they can weather these few years and gradually pay off their debts, no one can predict what the future holds. Perhaps they will not only avoid bankruptcy but also reach new heights.
Therefore, until the very last moment, no one knows who the ultimate winner will be, so don't jump to conclusions too early.
As long as the Lu family doesn't go bankrupt, Miss Lu will still be Miss Lu. Fortunately, they didn't choose to antagonize Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing smiled and said, "Thank you."
After a few words, the women started talking about the Tang family, which had been the talk of the town recently.
"I heard that all the direct and collateral relatives of the Tang family, as long as they are related by blood, have returned to City A these days."
"I've heard rumors about it too, but I haven't asked what's going on yet."
"What else could it be? Old Master Tang is dying, so everyone's rushing back to divide his inheritance."
This kind of thing is so common.
Although the Tang family cannot compare to the Gu and Xie families, it is still a large family with a profound heritage and countless assets. Even if they only receive a small fraction of the wealth, they will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
"The whole Tang family is in chaos right now. They're always arguing and gathering together, forming cliques and looking for people to help them fight. Anyone related to them by marriage has been dragged into it. With so many mouths around, Old Master Tang almost died from anger. I heard he even went to the ICU a few days ago."
“That’s right.” The woman glanced at Lu Fengqing. “Miss Lu was really lucky to get away early. Gu Weiwei and Tang Xingzhou aren’t even engaged yet, and the whole family can’t have a peaceful time when they go out. They run into other people with the surname Tang and even if they don’t want to cause trouble, they still get into trouble. The night before last, Gu Weiwei’s mother and one of Tang Xingzhou’s aunts met in the mall and almost got into a fight in public.”
Lu Fengqing smiled faintly, but did not reply. She simply asked, "Is the Xie family involved as well?"
If she remembered correctly, the Xie family and the Tang family were related by marriage.
"No, not at all. The Xie family are all involved in education, and they are all very detached from worldly desires. They would never get involved in such matters. But then again, the Xie family and the Tang family are not really related by marriage."
In a traditional wedding, the groom disappeared, and the bride completed the ceremony alone. Legally, the two didn't seem to have registered their marriage. After the third son of the Xie family ran away from the wedding, he never returned home. He abandoned his teaching career and went out to work on his own. In the end, they weren't even husband and wife in name. What kind of in-laws are the Xie and Tang families?
"Never mind whether he is or not. Now, anyone who gets involved with the Tang family is doomed. It's Mr. Xie's birthday next month. With the Tang family making such a fuss, it's uncertain whether they will even invite any members of the Tang family."
"Aren't you afraid of offending the Tang family if you don't invite any of them?"
"What's there to be afraid of? The Xie family is in education, with countless students from all walks of life. Who has a stronger background than them? I don't think even if Old Master Gu came, he wouldn't dare to touch them."
Time flies when you're playing mahjong, and unsurprisingly, Lu Fengqing lost tens of thousands of yuan again in the afternoon.
"Okay, okay, I'm done fighting. I have to go home now. I'm not afraid to tell you this, but since the beginning of the year, my mother-in-law has been urging my husband and me to have a second child. She insists that I give her a grandson. Now, if we go home even a little late, she'll give us a lecture."
What if the second child is also a daughter?
"What else can we do but have three or four more children? My husband is the only son in his family, and someone has to inherit his family business."
As Lu Fengqing listened, she couldn't help but think that Gu Suixing also seemed to be an only child.

"Smack—"
A loud slap rang out, startling the nanny who was busy in the room.
Qin Xuan covered her face, her head turned to the side from the blow, her long hair covering half her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
"You bastard!" Qin Baisong was furious. "I told you to go to the Gu family as a guest, not to tell Mrs. Gu that you have someone you like."
Qin Xuan lowered her hand and looked at her father with a calm expression.
"What kind of look is that?" Qin Baisong was even angrier. "What's wrong with the Gu family? Marrying into the Gu family is every woman's dream. You yourself think that guy surnamed Gu is good, and now that you have the chance to marry into the Gu family, you have to refuse. Do you want to make me angry to death?!"
"Whether he's a good person or not is his business. I've never thought about marrying him," Qin Xuan said calmly. "My mother may be blind, but I'm not. I'll only marry someone I like and who likes me back."
Qin Baisong was stunned for a moment. After regaining his senses, he was so angry that he almost raised his hand to slap him again. He scolded him with disappointment, "You fool! What's the use of love? Can it feed you? Can it be used as money? The most important thing is to hold onto the interests in your hands."
Before Qin Xuan could speak, Qin Baisong said again, "This is not your decision. You have to marry him whether you like it or not!"
Qin Xuan's expression remained indifferent; she simply said, "Don't blame me for not mentioning you. Gu Suixing is not someone you can easily deal with."
Qin Baisong sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of some young punk like him?"
Qin Xuan didn't speak again, but a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes.
