Chapter 703 - - The Luo Family's Proposal Pt.1

Gu Changle reviewed the pictures of the remaining seven candidates for Shao Xue’s blind date in the hospital.

She said to Shao Tianze, “I think the eldest son of the Zhang Family is pretty good.”

“I’ll pass all of them.” Shao Tianze frowned, “Isn’t the mess made by Tang Jian last time not enough? Our family has never been so humiliated.”

Gu Changle was not convinced, “These seven men can’t be as bad as Tang Jian. Shao Xue needs a husband. I chose so many for her. One of them must be a good fit.”

Shao Tianze twisted his eyebrows, took the photos in Gu Changle’s hand, and threw them into the trash can.

Gu Changle couldn’t help frowning, “What are you doing, Tianze?”

Shao Tianze’s voice was cold, “We have made enough jokes. Don’t make a fool of ourselves.”

Shao Xue having a blind date with someone like Tang Jian had already ashamed the Shao Family.

What kind of man Gu Changle wanted to offer Shao Xue next?

Gu Changle downplayed it, “Why? You still want Shao Xue to stay by your side?”

“I don’t, but I can’t let you ruin the reputation of my family.”

Gu Changle’s eyebrows were about to be raised, “What do you mean I ruined the reputation of your family? Have I done anything bad to your family? I have been conspiring so hard for all these years. You owe me half of the credit for what you are today. Now you don’t like my approach just because of Shao Xue?”

Gu Changle was angry and aggressive while talking.

Listening to her, Shao Tianze felt even more uncomfortable.

Upon hearing her claim that he owed her half of the credit for what he was today, Shao Tianze turned to Gu Changle with slightly narrowed eyes. He did not reply to it for a while.

His cold eyes made Gu Changle’s toes curl.

“What? Did I say anything wrong?”

Gu Changle straightened her back and asked Shao Tianze, looking confident.

Shao Tianze looked at her and said coldly, “Yes, I owe you.”

“Then what’s wrong with me setting up a blind date for Shao Xue?”

Gu Changle continued to ask.

Shao Tianze nodded, “You did nothing wrong.”

“So why did you throw the photos into the trash can?” Gu Changle asked him rightfully.

Shao Tianze asked her back, “I’ll pick them up for you to re-select, okay?”

While talking, Shao Tianze bent down and was about to pick them up.

As careless as Gu Changle, she knew this was unusual.

After pondering for a moment, she hurriedly stopped him, “No, you don’t have to.”

Shao Tianze stopped and turned to her.

Gu Changle pursed her lips, “It’s my fault. It’s your call to choose a man for Shao Xue.”

As Gu Changle said, Shao Tianze lowered his eyes, “I’ll do it when I get home.”

While saying that, he turned around and was ready to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Changle called after him, “You are leaving?”

“I have an online meeting today. I need to go.”

“But you didn’t mention it yesterday.”

Usually, she was clear about Shao Tianze’s schedule and whether he was busy.

But she didn’t know about this online meeting today.

Hearing Gu Changle asking urgently, Shao Tianze said, “It’s an impromptu meeting.”

Gu Changle had no excuse to hold onto him.

She could only watch Shao Tianze leave.

After Shao Tianze left the ward, Gu Changle pursed her lips. She couldn’t help but hit the bed with a fist.

Until now, Shao Tianze still showed partiality to Shao Xue.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cared about what kind of man she would marry.

…

Shao Tianze got out of Gu Changle’s ward and drove directly back home.

Miaomiao was playing with blocks at home.

Seeing Shao Tianze was back, she smiled, “Daddy, come here. The castle that auntie built for me yesterday hasn’t fallen yet.”

“Where is your auntie?”

Shao Tianze touched Miaomiao’s head and asked her where Shao Xue was.

Miaomiao said, “She just went out. She hasn’t come back yet.”

Hearing this, Shao Tianze frowned right away.

Miaomiao was good at reading signs. Even if she was young, she could tell Shao Tianze’s emotion change accurately through micro-expressions.

“I wanted to have strawberries and mangoes this morning, but we ran out of these at home. Auntie probably went out to buy them for me.”

Shao Tianze smiled. He pulled Miaomiao to the front of the sofa, picking her up to sit on his lap. He asked, “If auntie marries someone one day, she can’t play with you anymore. What will you do?”

Miaomiao was surprised, “Is she going to get married?”

Why had she never heard auntie talking about it?

“Yes, if she gets married, she won’t be able to live in our house and play with you all the time.”

Listening to Shao Tianze, Miaomiao felt sad suddenly, “Will she come back?”

“Of course, she will.”

Before Shao Tianze could answer, Shao Xue’s voice came from the door.

Hearing it, Miaomiao turned to her cheerfully, “Auntie.”

Shao Xue walked in with a smile. She was in a black woolen coat, carrying a delicate fruit basket in her hand.

There were dragon fruits, blueberries, bananas, grapes, mangoes, and strawberries in it.

Miaomiao’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the basket. She looked at the basket, drooling, “Auntie, you bring me sweet fruits.”

Shao Xue smiled and handed the basket to the maid who was ready to pick it up.

“You little foodie.”

Shao Xue walked to Miaomiao and pinched her face gently.

Miaomiao seized the chance to get into her arms.

Shao Xue hugged Miaomiao and asked her, “Is the princess in the castle?”

“Of course, I put a mermaid princess in.” Miaomiao pointed her finger at the green-haired princess by the small window of the castle. “The princess and the prince are together. She will not turn into foam and vanish in the air.”

“Good.” Shao Xue nodded, then smoothed Miaomiao’s hair with tender eyes.

Shao Tianze followed Shao Xue’s sight and had a glance at the little mermaid doll in the castle built by blocks. He said, “I turned down men who Changle chose for you.”

Hearing this, Shao Xue was a little surprised, “How come?”

Did Gu Changle mess it up?

Shao Tianze didn’t let her continue to date with those gross men.

Shao Tianze replied, “She doesn’t have an eye for good men. You do.”

Shao Xue nodded, “That’s right.”

She wasn’t being polite. It was clear that she didn’t fancy Gu Changle’s poor taste.

And she didn’t like that blind date.

Shao Tianze said, “Do you have anyone in your mind?”

Shao Xue looked at Shao Tianze, “Do you really want to get me married so soon?”

Shao Tianze took a breath, “No, but you’re a woman now. Moreover, our family is losing power. I want to find a good man for you when I still can.”

Shao Xue lowered her eyes as if she had been worried about something. She said, “I know what happened with our family. I wish I could help you. Brother, tell me, who do you want me to marry?”

Shao Tianze had already thought it over in his heart.

There were a few families who wished to form an alliance with the Shao Family, but some of them seemed to have ulterior motives.

Shao Tianze pursed his lips, “I have to think on that.”

Shao Xue nodded and said to him, “I am your sister as well as a member of the Shao Family. I hope the family I will marry into is one that can help you.”

What she said delighted Shao Tianze.

Even if Shao Xue didn’t mention this, it was under the consideration of Gu Changle and Shao Tianze in the beginning.

Although they wanted to expel Shao Xue, they also desired to seek some benefits while doing it.

After all, the Shao Family was no longer as good as it had been when Gu Changge just passed away.

Shao Tianze pursed his lips, falling into silence. He gently rubbed his eyebrows.

Shao Xue had said what she wanted to say. She looked down at Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, what kind of man do you want me to marry?”

Miaomiao thought for a while. Then she answered, “Auntie, you are pretty. He must be handsome, just as good-looking as my daddy.”

Shao Xue couldn’t help but smile, “But it’s hard to find someone as handsome as your father.”

Moreover, what was the good of finding a handsome but ungrateful and ambitious man as a husband?

It could only accelerate her own demise.

Thinking of this, Shao Xue couldn’t help but feel sorry for her parents.

They worked so hard to support Shao Tianze for many years, but in the end, this ungrateful man took their lives.

It was really pathetic.

While thinking of it, Shao Xue couldn’t help taking a breath, suppressing the pain and sorrow in her heart.

Shao Tianze was also frowning, thinking that which family in Yuncheng was reliable and available.

While they were each meditating, the telephone in the living room rang.

The maid picked up the phone, “Hello.”

Then she turned around and said to Shao Tianze, “Mr. Shao, it’s for you.”

Shao Tianze twisted his eyebrows, “Who is it?”

“A call from Harbor City.”

“From Harbor City?”

Shao Tianze didn’t know who was calling from Harbor City.

But Shao Xue lowered her eyes at ease.

It must be from the Luo Family.

Mr. Luo acted fast. It seemed that he was going to reveal a marriage proposal to Shao Xue.
