Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Republic of China Gentlewoman Divorced Wife VS Amorous Actor (Part 33)

These days, he had heard the name Lin Jianke quite often.

That woman, she was simply the nemesis of all men.

What about women having to treat themselves better, why must women depend on men to live? Why should women tolerate a man having multiple wives and concubines?

...

Isn’t that how it should be?

Why are there so many questions?

The key point was that quite a few women had been stirred up by her.

Now, it was said that a small number of women had already proposed divorce to their husbands, and in Cloud City, some less demanding positions had even begun to see women applicants.

Now, the Cloud City Daily had authors picking up their pens in criticism, saying that women were snatching their jobs, neglecting their homes, claiming that this was putting the cart before the horse, and so on.

Unlike the Grand Marshal’s reaction, upon hearing that Gu Shengyin was Lin Jianke, Madam Grand Marshal’s eyes lit up.

Lin Jianke, in some respects, truly commanded immense respect from Madam Grand Marshal.

Her views, her style, her unique understanding of beauty, all made Madam Grand Marshal sincerely admire her.

If she were not already past her youth, and her relationship with the Grand Marshal was more familial than romantic, Madam Grand Marshal might have even wanted to try living independently.

If Lin Jianke became her daughter-in-law, Madam Grand Marshal thought, wouldn’t that be quite nice?

Grand Marshal, however, asked Huangfu Qi a pointed question, "I’ve seen those articles by Lin Jianke in the newspapers. Although she hasn’t said it outright, I see that she advocates for gender equality. If you marry her, you will likely have a hard time taking a concubine in the future."

Huangfu Qi retorted, "Having her is enough for me, why would I need so many women?"

When referring to "other women," Young Marshal Huangfu showed a look of disgust.

Marshal Huangfu was speechless, unable to respond to the question.

Which wealthy and powerful man does not desire to be surrounded by women and enjoy the pleasure of many? Where did his son go wrong as he grew up?

Huangfu Qi stood up, "If there are no problems, Mother, please prepare the betrothal gifts. Three days from now, I will personally go to their house to propose!"

Grand Marshal traditionally didn’t pay much attention to his son’s private affairs. It was fine for him to marry any wife as long as his son liked her.

Madam Huangfu had been mysteriously silent ever since she found out that her son had fallen for Lin Jianke.

When Huangfu Qi spoke these words, surprisingly, no one objected.

It seemed like everyone had agreed.

Huangfu Qi thought to himself, he could tell her the news tomorrow.

By then, she would have no reason to refuse him, right?

Three days later, a long procession of vehicles arrived at the small courtyard that Gu Shengyin was renting.

Gu Shengyin, Lady Zhao, Auntie Lin, Shiao Shiao, and the rest, who came out upon hearing the news, were all stunned as they watched a group of young men in military uniforms carrying box after box into the yard.

Gu Shengyin found Huangfu Qi, who was standing to one side, "What is this about?"

Huangfu Qi answered, "The betrothal gifts."

Gu Shengyin was floored. Wasn’t this all happening too quickly?

And since when did grooms lead the team to deliver the betrothal gifts themselves?

Huangfu Qi looked at Lady Zhao and performed a junior’s salute.

"Huangfu Qi has already reported to his parents, and they are all very pleased with Ruohua. These are the betrothal gifts meticulously selected by my mother."

Lady Zhao had already been rendered speechless by the swift actions of the Huangfu Family.

"Can I refuse?" Gu Shengyin suddenly asked.

Huangfu Qi replied, "If you accept, I will lead you onto the carriage during the wedding; if you refuse, I will tie you up and bring you onto the carriage."
