Gu Chengyu raised an eyebrow slightly, his previous arrogance and composure instantly replaced by impatience.
He knew that he had been called back to discuss a marriage alliance; everything that had just happened was a prelude.
Ignoring his changing expression, Madam Gu pointed to the second level of the pyramid: "The Shen family, Shen Que has a younger sister, Shen Nian'an, who just turned twenty and is studying art in Paris."
"He may be a bit spoiled, but the Shen family's foundation is there, and Shen is indeed a shrewd person. A marriage alliance would be beneficial to us."
Madam Gu pointed her finger at the photo of the Zhou family: "In the Zhou family, Yu'an is the only son, but his second uncle's family has a cousin, Zhou Jingshu, who is twenty-three years old and works in management at the Zhou family's private hospital. She is said to be calm and capable."
"The medical industry has always been a highly profitable industry. Gu Jia Youxuan was originally from the Zhou family, but unfortunately this girl is from a collateral branch and her status is not as good."
When the photo of the Qin family was mentioned again, Madam Gu simply ignored it, saying in a dismissive tone, "Let's forget about the Qin family."
"Qin Yu is the only remaining son. His family does have an adopted daughter, but her status is ultimately not respectable."
As for the leader's daughter, she only said one sentence: "A mascot that is changed every four years, so I won't consider it."
Finally, her finger landed on the third level of the pyramid, where instead of family photos, there were photos of many young girls.
"Further down, among the second-rate families, there are a few quite good ones."
"They don't fight as fiercely as our families. They have a large and thriving family, and there are quite a few outstanding girls among them."
"Of the four families, Gu, Shen, Zhou, and Qin, the main branches are either dead or injured."
"Or they don't have children at all. Like the Zhou couple, they had one child, stored their sperm and eggs, and then had their tubes tied."
"I'm not satisfied with any of the options I've considered."
"On the contrary, the daughters raised by the aristocratic families below are all very good."
Madam Gu pulled out a photograph from the side; it was a solo portrait of Shen Nian'an.
Then, they pulled out another photograph from the third level of the pyramid and pushed it in front of Gu Chengyu.
The girl in the first photo is wearing a bright pink Chanel-style suit, with a bright and flamboyant smile, exuding a touch of naivety and spoiled charm.
“Chen Nian'an, Chen Que’s younger sister.”
"Young, beautiful, from a good family, and although she has a free-spirited personality, she can be trained for a few years and be competent enough to handle any situation."
The girl in the second photo is wearing a simple beige suit. She has a gentle and calm temperament and sits in front of a piano, exuding elegance cultivated by art.
"Song Qingwan is the only daughter of the Song family, a family of scholars and a true musical family. Her ancestors were masters for generations, and she herself has won awards in international piano competitions. She has excellent temperament and cultivation."
“Our Gu family lacks nothing, except for this kind of cultural heritage that can enhance our family’s reputation.”
Mrs. Gu looked at Song Qingwan's photo with undisguised satisfaction in her eyes.
The girls in both photos are undoubtedly exceptional beauties, young and pretty.
Shen Nian'an represents a powerful alliance between conglomerates, while Song Qingwan symbolizes the addition of established heritage and cultural prestige.
Gu Chengyu's gaze lazily swept over the two photos his mother had picked out, his face expressionless and somewhat indifferent.
Pretty? Yes, quite pretty.
Family background? It's good enough.
but……
Another face flashed uncontrollably through his mind.
When she nestled in his arms and looked at him, she was so obedient and innocent.
