“Tingting”.
Without looking up, Yan Ting, who was peeling fruit, asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so startled?"
"Look." Tan Yi held up her phone screen.
Yan Ting squinted for a while before realizing that it was news about Lu Huai marrying Gu Qianqiu.
"I never expected that scumbag would actually marry that woman Gu Qianqiu. Will the Lu family agree to it?"
Yanting shook her head: "I don't know."
But I estimate they would disagree.
She knew that Mr. Lu was a rigid and stubborn man who had always been very demanding of his daughter-in-law.
Putting aside everything else, Gu Qianqiu's family background alone is simply not a match for the Lu family.
There's a sense of conspiracy in Lu Huai's marriage to Gu Qianqiu.
Tan Yi thought for a moment, then guessed at Yan Ting, "Could it be a shotgun wedding?"
Many Cinderella stories use this approach to marry into wealthy families and live a life of luxury.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with this kind of thing.
After all, who doesn't want to live a wealthy life?
But being a wealthy wife isn't so easy.
While the two were discussing this, news broke online that Gu Qianqiu was pregnant and forcing him to resign.
The marketing accounts portrayed Gu Qianqiu as a vain and materialistic woman, while depicting Lu Huai as a pitiful man forced into a corner.
The comments section was overwhelmingly negative.
Most of the comments criticize women for being scheming, materialistic, and vain.
Upon seeing this, Yanting frowned.
She didn't think Lu Huai was innocent; pregnancy is a matter of mutual consent. Besides, the Lu family is powerful and wealthy; they could crush Gu Qianqiu as easily as crushing an ant. If they really didn't want to marry Gu Qianqiu, they could simply make her have an abortion.
Lu Huai is cold-hearted by nature; he is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
Tan Yi couldn't help but curse, "Just thinking about how he used to be so affectionate towards you makes me feel nauseous."
Yan Ting, however, didn't seem to care much: "Whatever, I never care about things that don't concern me."
Even if Lu Huai died in front of her now, she wouldn't be moved in the slightest.

Some time ago, when Mr. Lu learned that Gu Qianqiu was pregnant, his face immediately darkened.
He wasn't angry that his grandson had gotten a woman pregnant; he was angry that his grandson had unexpectedly brought Gu Qianqiu into the house.
Gu Qianqiu stood beside Lu Huai with a gentle and charming appearance, the two holding hands, their posture very intimate.
"What did you say?" Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You said you want to marry her?"
Lu Huai: "Yes, I want to marry Qianqiu."
He said gently, "She's pregnant now, so let's get married as soon as possible before the pregnancy progresses too far."
Gu Qianqiu smiled sweetly, her lips curving upwards.
Without a second thought, Master Lu refused, saying, "Impossible. You are a descendant of the Lu family, how could you marry such a lowly woman?"
Gu Qianqiu's smile immediately faded.
She knew that the biggest hurdle to getting into the Lu family was Mr. Lu himself.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Lu Huai agrees to marry her, everything else is just a matter of time.
Normally, Lu Huai would have agreed to his grandfather's disapproval.
But this time he didn't choose to endure it, but instead stood his ground: "Grandpa, I really want to marry Qianqiu, and she is carrying our Lu family's child."
Master Lu values the continuation of the family line, but that doesn't mean he values the wildfires outside.
In his opinion, the Gu Qianqiu in front of him was not as good as the previous Yan Ting.
At least Yanting is simple and kind, unlike this woman who is cunning.
In the end, he still didn't budge.
Seeing that his grandfather was determined not to agree, Lu Huai had no choice but to use his trump card: "If Grandpa doesn't agree, then I will never get married again, let alone have children."
"You dare!" Old Lu was furious. "I'll break your legs if you don't listen."
Lu Huai said calmly, "Grandpa can try and see if I dare."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu did not fly into a rage, but stared at his grandson with some disbelief.
To be honest, Lu Huai was someone he had raised himself, and he knew Lu Huai's character better than anyone. There was no way Lu Huai would talk back to his elder for the sake of some other woman.
and……
Shouldn't Lu Huai like Yan Ting?
Why would he suddenly think of marrying Gu Qianqiu?
Old Master Lu wouldn't believe there wasn't some clue involved.
Thinking of this, Old Master Lu shifted his gaze from Lu Huai's face to Gu Qianqiu's.
Gu Qianqiu, under the scrutinizing gaze of the other party, trembled slightly with her eyelashes and lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into Old Master Lu's eyes.
The imposing presence emanating from Elder Lu was something that ordinary people simply could not withstand.
The surrounding atmosphere was silent.
half an hour.
Old Master Lu said, "You may enter, but you must abide by the Lu family rules."
Lu Huai didn't continue to haggle; he knew this was already the biggest concession his grandfather had made.
When she learned that she could finally marry into the Lu family, the joy in Gu Qianqiu's eyes almost burst out.
Old Lu watched the two people leave, his expression unreadable.
At this moment, the butler said softly, "Young Master seems to be acting a little strange."
“Even you noticed.” Old Lu said, sitting back in his chair and closing his eyes. “Don’t make this public for now. Later, have someone investigate Ah Huai’s recent situation privately.”
"Yes," the butler replied.

Sheng Yuanze was skeptical about Lu Huai marrying Gu Qianqiu.
After all, Lu Huai used to often drown his sorrows in bars, his mind and heart filled with thoughts of Yan Ting. How could it be that after just a few days apart, Yan Ting suddenly wanted to marry Gu Qianqiu?
Not only did he not believe it, but Qi Yang didn't believe it either.
"Is this guy jealous?"
Sheng Yuanze stared at the smoke in front of him, lost in thought: "Gu Qianqiu?"
Qi Yang raised an eyebrow: "You mean it's related to Gu Qianqiu?"
Sheng Yuanze glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Since their last bet, the two have often gotten together to drink and discuss business.
Of course, if you think they've become good friends now, then you're just being naive.
Qi Yang's arrogant and self-important demeanor was the type of person Sheng Yuanze despised most.
Coincidentally, Qi Yang also disliked Sheng Yuanze, a cunning and two-faced man.
Two people who dislike each other can only sit together for the sake of mutual benefit.
Qi Yang clicked his tongue at Sheng Yuanze's lack of response: "I used to think Lu Huai was pretty smart, but I didn't expect that I overestimated him. He actually got outsmarted by a woman."
Sheng Yuanze stared at the glass. "Although I don't know what methods she used to get Lu Huai to marry her, based on my understanding of Lu Huai, he would never marry Gu Qianqiu. As for the child in her belly, he can just abort it. There's no need to marry a woman like that." His words were unusually cruel and heartless.
But Qi Yang agreed: "Women are the most foolish and troublesome creatures. Once you get involved, it's hard to get rid of them."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuanze looked at him with a half-smile: "Then why are you still bothering Yanting?"
“She’s different.” Qi Yang’s lips curled up, a hint of excitement in his deep eyes: “I can’t stand to see her happy. The more she suffers, the happier I am.”
