Chapter 493

“But it doesn’t have to be the Nangong family.” Gu Beihan thought of the woman from last night, the cold detachment in her eyes was definitely not the virtuous wife he wanted.

“Because among the entire Imperial Capital, only the Nangongs have the ability to help the Gus.” Gu Chao also wanted his son to choose the person he truly desired.

However, in their current family situation, they had no choice.

“Is it because the Nangong family only has one legitimate young lady?” Gu Beihan had inquired about some matters of the Nangong family after returning to the Imperial Capital.

He found out that the Nangongs once lost a pair of twin boys, who later had other children, but they mysteriously died one after another.

So there were no more legitimate young masters or young ladies born in the Nangong family. Instead, they directly adopted two young masters and young ladies from the branch family. Strangely enough, these two young masters and young ladies lived well and encountered no accidents.

When Gu Beihan learned about these matters, he scoffed. Others might not understand the truth behind it, but he did. It seemed that every family had its dark history.

But when he inquired about the Nangong family, he could not find any information about Ms. Nangong. Otherwise, he would have recognized the mysterious young lady from the Nangong family last night.

“Yes, it’s because she’s the only legitimate young lady. The Nangong family will be in her hands in the future, so if you can marry her, the problems of our Gu family will be solved.” Gu Chao knew that his son was smart and understood what was best for himself.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll try to approach her, but I can’t guarantee success.” Gu Beihan spoke frankly. He didn’t depend on the Gu family for his living. He would do this only because he was a member of the Gu family.

But that didn’t mean he would definitely follow the arrangements of the family.

“No, you must succeed in winning over Ms. Nangong, otherwise the entire Gu family will be ruined.” Mr. Gu panicked upon hearing this.

“Then let Gu Beinuan marry her instead, don’t make me do it.” Gu Beihan said indifferently. Didn’t he know? The person Mr. Gu loved the most was clear to him, as well as who he wanted to give the Gu family to.

Trying to use him, Gu Beihan, to seize benefits would only work if he was willing.

“You, do you want to be as ignorant as your sister, not satisfied until I’m dead of anger?” Mr. Gu trembled with rage.

“Dad, don’t be angry. Xiao Han doesn’t mean that. He will do it, right, Xiao Han?” Gu Chao gestured to his son.

“That’s exactly what I mean. Either let me arrange it myself or let Gu Beinuan marry her. That’s it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room.” Gu Beihan coldly left these words and walked out.

“Look at your rebellious son and daughter, none of them are easy to manage. They really won’t be satisfied until I’m dead of anger.” Mr. Gu shouted at his son as he watched his grandson walk away.

“Dad, you and others should have paid more attention to Xiao Han. But none of you listened. It’s normal for him to have ideas like this.

Didn’t you notice that he hasn’t been home for years?” Gu Chao also spoke impatiently to his father. Did his father not know what was going on with Gu Beihan?

Gu Beihan stood by the door, listening to the conversation inside the study. He glanced at the closed door with an unreadable smile and went downstairs.

“Young Master.” Butler Gu greeted Gu Beihan as he came down.

“Butler Gu, I’m going out for a while. If anyone asks, just let them know.” Gu Beihan tugged at his shirt collar and instructed Butler Gu.

“Alright, young master, take care.” Butler Gu watched Gu Beihan’s retreating figure and shook his head.
