Chapter 289: 089: Also Out of My League!_7

On another front,

Gui Mingqing drove Gui Lanzhi and Gui Mingqing back home.

During the ride,

Gui Lanzhi’s face was grim, "Mingqing, you shouldn’t have agreed to the dowry!"

A second-hand good nobody wanted was actually demanding a dowry.

Shameless.

Gui Mingqing patted her mother’s hand, smiling, "Mom, they say you can’t snare a wolf without giving up some meat. Once Lin Guixiang marries into our family, isn’t that money essentially ours? Can she really run away?"

Despite saying this, Gui Lanzhi still had reservations inside.

In her eyes, Lin Guixiang should be the one paying them, not the other way around.

"Besides her, it’s not like your brother couldn’t find someone else to marry!" Gui Lanzhi huffed out coldly.

Gui Mingqing replied with a smile, "But no other woman would come with a daughter as pretty as Lin Wu."

At this remark, Sun Dingbang’s brow furrowed slightly.

Unaware of his mother and wife’s scheme, he found the mention of Lin Wu somewhat odd upon hearing it.

As the conversation ended, Gui Mingqing added, "Mom, don’t worry, I always measure my actions carefully."

In Qing City, there are plenty of rich young masters who aren’t hurting for money.

And Lin Wu is an exceptional beauty.

Initially thinking Lin Wu was just somewhat attractive, Gui Mingqing had a change of heart after seeing her, deeming her to possess the allure to be pampered in golden chambers.

With this thought, Gui Mingqing’s eyes narrowed.

Three years ago, Gui Mingqing had started her own business, but the entrepreneurial path seemed simple only in theory and was in fact fraught with thorns and unwritten rules. Though a local of Qing City, she still fell short in comparison with the wealthy. Her packaging box company lacked both innovation and unique characteristics, and she, not being the image of a young and beautiful girl, had barely obtained any orders in three years. She saw that if she didn’t come up with a solution, her company would soon close down.

Fortunately, her next prospective business partner was a well-known second-generation rich in Qing City.

This rich heir had no particular hobbies.

Except for a fondness for supporting innocent female university students.

He was bound to like someone like Lin Wu even more.

Lin Wu, a novice from a small village, would be lucky to catch the eye of a rich heir.

Perhaps Lin Wu might even come to be grateful to her.

After all, taking this step could directly alter Lin Wu’s destiny.

**

After dropping Gui Lanzhi and Gui Mingqing home, Sun Dingbang returned and inquired about the happenings that Lin Guimei had heard in the car.

Lin Guimei conveyed the background of the situation to Sun Dingbang.

Upon hearing this, Sun Dingbang furrowed his brow lightly, "Isn’t this sheer madness? Brother Mingtao is practically a vegetative state now! If your elder sister really marries into their family, what’s the difference between her and a nanny for the Gui Family? Aren’t you harming her?"

Although Sun Dingbang hadn’t known Lin Guixiang for long, and Lin Guimei had no blood relation to Lin Guixiang, Lin Wu still called him uncle.

Just by this title of "uncle," Lin Guimei shouldn’t be doing this.

Immoral!

Lin Guimei looked at Sun Dingbang with narrowed eyes, "If my elder sister is willing, Grandma Gui is willing, and Brother Mingtao is willing, are you unwilling? What right do you have to be unwilling?"

Sun Dingbang was startled, "Your elder sister is willing?"

He never expected this.

Lin Guixiang didn’t seem like someone superficial...

"Although Brother Mingtao is bedridden, at least he is an outstanding scholar with a Qing City household registration! What does my elder sister have? She would be overjoyed by such a good opportunity. Why would she refuse?"

Hearing this, Sun Dingbang felt somewhat helpless, "Why don’t you persuade your elder sister then?"

Sun Dingbang knew the Gui Family all too well.

Gui Lanzhi was not only domineering but also had a strange personality, especially since Gui Mingtao became paralyzed. If Lin Guixiang were to marry into the Gui Family, there was no doubt that she would have a tough life.

Even as a bystander, Sun Dingbang couldn’t bear the thought of Lin Guixiang marrying into the Gui Family.

"Persuade? When they are willing, how can I persuade? If I tried, she would think I am jealous of her!"

Sun Dingbang fell silent.

Forget it, his wife was right.

If it was Lin Guixiang’s own choice, then nothing he said would matter. If they said too much, not only would Lin Guixiang not appreciate it, she might even think they were preventing her from having a good life.

Just then, Lin Guimei turned to Sun Dingbang with a sneering tone, "Sun Dingbang, you’re so concerned about my elder sister. You don’t have your eye on her, do you?"

Sun Dingbang’s brow creased, "What are you talking about?! You’re crazy!"

Lin Guimei snorted coldly, "Just make sure you don’t have any ulterior motives."

Sun Dingbang dismissed Lin Guimei’s words as a sign that she was approaching menopause and chose not to argue.
