After Jiang Tongtong and Lin Gantang went shopping, Lin Mingzhuo also left the house.

At the Gu family, Gu Guoliang was surprised by Lin Mingzhuo’s visit.

The company’s affairs were handled by Gu Zhichuan. Just today, he had returned from playing golf with an old friend when he received a call from Lin Mingzhuo, expressing his desire to meet.

Ever since the two families’ children fell out over the marriage, the Gu and Lin families were no longer as friendly as before.

“I just wanted to ask Mr. Gu what you think. Despite the previous unpleasantness, the Lin family promised not to disrupt the ongoing collaborative project between our families.” Mr. Lin began the conversation. “Interestingly, the Gu family seems to be showing up quite frequently in projects that my Lin family has taken an interest in lately.”

Gu Guoliang signaled for tea to be served, and he calmly poured a cup for Lin Mingzhuo. “Our company matters are handled by Zhichuan. You’re aware that young people are ambitious and competitive. It’s only natural for there to be competition.”

“There are plenty of good projects in C City, so why is it that the Gu family seems to have taken notice of all the projects that my family is interested in?” Lin Mingzhuo didn’t touch his tea. He hadn’t come here today to put on a friendly face. “It all seems to revolve around the fact that Lin Gantang didn’t marry into your family.”

Gu Guoliang smiled without saying a word.

“Today, my purpose here isn’t related to business,” Lin Mingzhuo said, his irritation evident as he saw the Gu family continually portraying themselves as the victims. “Although Gantang and Zhichuan have broken up, logically I shouldn’t bring up old matters. However, I still want to return the words you said to me at the wedding about the Lin family being ungrateful.”

Lin Mingzhuo’s tone turned colder. “It’s your Gu family that’s been ungrateful. I don’t expect our families to continue cooperating, but you should know where to draw the line.”

Gu Guoliang furrowed his brow. It was the Gu family that had been embarrassed by the bride’s escape from the wedding. Why was Lin Mingzhuo criticizing him here?contemporary romance

“What do you mean?” Gu Guoliang asked.

“Lin Gantang ran away from the wedding. Well done.” Lin Mingzhuo’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Your son is living it up secretly, maintaining a relationship with someone else, and he still wants to marry my daughter? Is he pretending to be a wealthy nobleman from ancient times, engaging in polygamy and concubinage?”

“Zhichuan isn’t that kind of person,” Gu Guoliang affirmed.

“Why don’t you ask him directly? That woman is being kept at Grampian Garden on Anye Road. Everyone blamed Gantang for not knowing what was good for her. Why? I didn’t publicize this matter because I was giving you face on account of our past relationship.” Mr. Lin spoke frankly.

Lin Mingzhuo’s words were backed by evidence, making Gu Guoliang doubt his stance.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Gu returned from a gathering. Upon hearing Lin Mingzhuo’s words, she immediately protested, “Mr. Lin, are you trying to reverse the situation? Couldn’t you come up with a better reason? If Zhichuan has feelings for someone, do I need to go arrange a blind date for him?”

Lin Mingzhuo stood his ground. “Then you should ask your son. Why did he act so covertly? Is there something shady going on?”

Mrs. Gu was like an old hen protecting her chicks. She instantly exploded. “Lin Mingzhuo, what did you say!”

Lin Mingzhuo wasn’t the type to let his children suffer unjustly. “Since it’s already happened, why fear the truth coming out? My Gantang might have a bad temper, but she’s honest and upright. It’s not her fault. Why should she bear the blame?”

Mrs. Gu was about to continue her retort, but Gu Guoliang intervened. “Enough, call Zhichuan first and ask him to come back and clarify.”

Mrs. Gu didn’t believe Lin Mingzhuo’s claims, so she immediately called her son and urged him to return.

Lin Mingzhuo got up. “I’ve said what 1 needed to say. I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Gu family, but there are certain matters that you should handle wisely..”
