In a quiet and private dining room.
Gu Chengqiao was sitting with Lu Mingzhen in an elegant private room, sipping tea and discussing the possibility of a marriage alliance between their children.
Lu Mingzhen spoke with sincerity, "Chengqiao, I have laid everything on the table concerning Lingche and Lan Yuyi's situation. The child is indeed not Lingche's, but my eldest son, Sheng Qing's. Truly, this matter has wronged Lingche, and I feel guilty about it. Hence, today, I wish to discuss our children's marriage with genuine intent. I truly desire to find a worthy wife for him. Would the Gu Family consider an alliance with the Lu Family?"
Today, Gu Chengqiao genuinely felt Lu Mingzhen's sincerity and said with a smile, "I won't lie to you, I have actually been wishing to form a bond with the Lu Family all along. Our two great families haven't had a marriage alliance for so many years. It is indeed time for a strong union, which would benefit the children as well."
