Chapter 69 Marriage
"Grandma, didn't you say on the phone that you had something to discuss with me?" Hearing the hidden meaning in Mrs. Mu's words, Mu Lingfeng simply took the initiative to ask.
"Ling Feng, you are 30 years old this year. You are already old enough. It's time to think about starting a family."
Looking at Mu Lingfeng, Old Mrs. Mu said kindly.
Hearing this, Mu Lingfeng just stared at Old Madam Mu without expressing his opinion. He already knew in his heart that the main purpose of Old Madam Mu calling him back today was to discuss his marriage.
Mu Lingfeng waited patiently for what Old Lady Mu would say next.
"Do you know the girl from the Meng family?" Sure enough, Mrs. Mu named someone the next second.
"Meng Qian, I have some impression of her. She seems to be a few years younger than me." Mu Lingfeng pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Qianqian is 25 years old this year. It doesn't matter if a girl is a few years younger. Your uncle Meng has always been optimistic about you and wants you to be his son-in-law."
Seeing that Mu Lingfeng had some impression of Meng Qian, Mrs. Mu finished her words with a smile.
"Grandma, I heard that Shaoqing seems to be very interested in Meng Qian and has been pursuing her for some time." Although Mu Lingfeng doesn't like gossip, he has no choice but to have two people who love gossip the most around him.
Zhu Ying and Jiang Huaijing would each pass on gossip happening around them to Mu Lingfeng's ears. It was Jiang Huaijing who told Mu Lingfeng that his cousin Mu Shaoqing was pursuing Meng Qian recently.
Mu Shaoqing is the son of Mu Lingfeng's second uncle Mu Chengkun. He and Mu Chengkun now manage a wholly-owned enterprise under the Mu family.
"Meng Haowen will not like Shaoqing. Not only does he not like him, I believe even Qianqian will not like Shaoqing." Hearing Mu Lingfeng ask this, Mrs. Mu hurriedly explained.
"Grandma, is this considered a family marriage?" Mu Lingfeng asked back.
"It can be said that the strength of the Meng family in Binhai is not inferior to our Mu family. If you can marry Qianqian, it will be a great help to the development of the Mu family and to you personally."
"Ling Feng, I don't want you to give up this opportunity. After all, you know that your second uncle and his son have never given up the opportunity to fight for the Mu family."
"With a strong backer like the Meng family behind you, even after your grandmother passes away, your second uncle and his men won't dare to do anything to you."
Hearing the displeasure in Mu Lingfeng's tone, Old Lady Mu patiently explained to him.
"Grandma, I understand your good intentions, but I feel that with the current status of the Mu family in Binhai, even if we don't marry the Meng family, no one will dare to do anything to our Mu family."
"Personally, I don't need to rely on marriage to strengthen myself. I believe I have the ability to protect myself. Grandma, you should have more confidence in your grandson."
After hearing what Old Lady Mu said, Mu Lingfeng retorted.
"Of course I believe in my grandson's ability, but if there is an extra guarantee, then why not? After all, being able to join forces with the Meng family will also allow the Mu family to develop to a higher level."
Old Mrs. Mu touched Mu Lingfeng's head lovingly and said with a smile.
After a pause, seeing that Mu Lingfeng had no intention of speaking, Mrs. Mu continued, "However, if you insist on not wanting to, grandma won't force you. It won't be too late to make a decision after you meet Qianqian."
"Ling Feng, Qian Qian is just like her mother, beautiful and intelligent. If you can marry her, it will definitely be helpful to you."
It can be heard that Mrs. Mu has a very good impression of Meng Qian.
Mu Lingfeng nodded and said frankly: "Then let's talk about the next step after we meet. Grandma, you know I don't want my marriage to become a bargaining chip in business."
"I watched you grow up, how could I not understand your thoughts? This time it was mainly because Qianqian was too nice, so grandma couldn't help but set you up with a lovebirds. I promise I won't do this again next time."
Hearing that Mu Lingfeng didn't want her to interfere in his marriage, Mrs. Mu immediately expressed her opinion.
Mu Lingfeng nodded and responded, "I know grandma is doing this for my own good."
"It's good that you know. Grandma is here to make it clear. Even if you don't want to marry Qianqian, you can't marry that girl named Yunjin. That kind of background will not only not help your future, but may even hinder you."
"Ling Feng, please don't be confused."
Old Mrs. Mu once again emphasized earnestly that Mu Lingfeng should not be confused.
Mu Lingfeng was a little amused by what Old Lady Mu said, and he quickly explained: "Grandma, Yun Jin is just my secretary. I have no feelings for her at all. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"If that's true, then grandma will be relieved." Old Mrs. Mu nodded, indicating that she believed what Mu Lingfeng said.
The two were chatting when someone knocked on the door. After Old Madam Mu told the other person to come in, Mu Lingfeng saw his aunt Mu Yunzhu.
"Lingfeng, why are you here?" Seeing Mu Lingfeng in Old Lady Mu's room, Mu Yunzhu was stunned at first, then asked.
"I asked him to come back." When Mrs. Mu heard Mu Yunzhu ask this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Mrs. Mu had misunderstood, Mu Yunzhu quickly explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant. It's mainly because Ling Feng hasn't been back to the old house for a long time. I was a little surprised to see him suddenly."
"No matter how surprised I am, I still don't ask questions like you do. If someone doesn't know, they would think that you, as an aunt, can't tolerate Ling Feng and that's why you don't want him to come back to the old house to see me."
Knowing that Mu Yunzhu was a person who said one thing and meant another, Mrs. Mu did not hold a grudge against her in her heart, but on the surface, she still made it clear.
Old Mrs. Mu didn't want Mu Lingfeng to misunderstand Mu Yunzhi because of what he had just said.
Mu Lingfeng is good in every way except that he is a little suspicious sometimes. Old Mrs. Mu, who raised him, is of course well aware of his temper and will make sure to make things clear to him in person.
"Grandma, I know that my aunt didn't mean that, and I won't blame her." Mu Lingfeng spoke up to help Mu Yunzhu out.
"What are you doing here so late?" Seeing that Mu Lingfeng really had no misunderstanding, Old Lady Mu asked Mu Yunzhu.
"Xiaoying's friend brought back some river shrimps from outside. I know you like to eat them, so I brought some for you while they are fresh."
After hearing the question from Old Lady Mu, Mu Yunzhu finally told her the purpose of coming to the old house so late.
"Xiaoying is a very filial girl. She knows what I like. Not bad." When she heard that it was her favorite river shrimp, Mrs. Mu immediately became happy.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Mu Yunzhu suggested going home. Mu Lingfeng quickly expressed his willingness to take her home.
Old Mrs. Mu did not try to keep them and told Aunt Liu to send them away.
"Ling Feng, your grandma asked you to go back to the old house. Is she going to talk to you about the marriage?" Mu Yunzhu asked after getting in the car.
"Aunt, have you known about the marriage a long time ago?" After hearing Mu Yunzhu's question, Mu Lingfeng reacted and asked.
