After settling his concerns, Gu Baichuan saw that it was late and rose to take his leave.
Lu Zhendong seldom had the opportunity to associate with Mr. Gu and desired to have him stay the night. Gu Sitian naturally had no objections, but Gu Baichuan politely waved him off, rejecting the invitation.
Those in power have their considerations.
His granddaughter's marriage was not urgent, but getting too close to Lu Zhendong might have significant implications. Therefore, he could occasionally join them for meals, but dwelling with them was respectfully declined.
Lu Zhendong was aware of Gu Baichuan's reservations and, although he offered to host him, he did not really expect him to agree to stay over.
Hence, they escorted him to the gate, and only after seeing Gu Baichuan's car drive away, did Lu Zhendong, looking delightful, pat Lu Zhanbei on the shoulder, "Zhanbei! Given the explicit purpose of Mr. Gu's visit, shouldn't you also make your position clear to me?"
