Madam Lu had recently been both anxious and furious every time she learned that Lu Mingzhen was again dining with Gu Chengqiao and discussing the marriage arrangements, She simply could not accept that Lu Lingche, that bastard, would marry the eldest daughter of the Gu family.
Even her own son hadn't married such a fine wife, so why should Lu Lingche, that illegitimate child, be able to?
Lu Lingche had already become very domineering and high-handed. If he were to marry the eldest daughter of the Gu family, wouldn't he become even more arrogantly unbridled?
It would take Lu Nian a decade or two to grow up, and by that time, Lu Lingche and Gu Ranxuan would have long had their own children. When their children grew up, would Lu Lingche and Gu Ranxuan allow Lu Nian to inherit the Lu family's business?
They definitely wouldn't allow it. They would surely snatch away everything meant for Lu Nian, everything for their own son!
