Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 224: Helping younger brother Gu Yi with his marriage proposal
Tangchen.
At home, after getting off work, Lin Yue was watching the news broadcast with Gu Feng.
Surprisingly, Gu Dadong himself called Lin Yue.
Her husband inquired about Gu Feng’s recent health.
Lin Yue laughed, "Dad, Gu Feng is right beside me. How about I hand him the phone so you can talk to him?"
"No need, as long as he’s fine." Gu Dadong chuckled awkwardly and then hung up the phone.
Beijing.
Gu Family Mansion.
After putting down his phone, Gu Dadong turned to his wife Yu Ling and said, "Why don’t you ask?"
Yu Ling knew that even the Elders and the Sect Leader were coming to him to inquire if Gu Feng had any extra life-extending elixirs?
Or if he was planning to make another batch soon?
To say they had no ulterior motives would be too hypocritical.
But it was embarrassing to ask outright.
After all, they were elders, so they could only have Gu Dadong probe.
Gu Dadong had initially wanted to find out through Lin Yue, but it turned out Gu Feng was also there.
So, he had to send his wife instead.
Yu Ling rolled her eyes at him, "Aren’t you a military big shot? Don’t you know how to use a simple strategy without direct confrontation? Go away and watch me do it!"
She directly called Gu Feng.
Gu Feng’s voice came from the other end, "Mom?"
Yu Ling cleared her throat, "Feng, there’s something Mom wants to discuss with you. It’s about your cousin Gu Yi’s marriage."
Gu Feng hurriedly said from the other side, "Hasn’t he not found a partner yet? How come it’s turned into marriage talks?"
Yu Ling said, "The thing is, your Third Uncle is in Jiangcheng, so families from the yard are coming to your dad to talk about arranged marriages."
Gu Feng asked, "Which families are they?"
Yu Ling replied, "Mr. Liu’s family, Mr. Zhao’s family, Mr. Yan, and some other uncles. However, the daughters of other families might not match up in age, so these three families are more suitable."
"How is this suitable?" Gu Feng was surprised. "Can these uncles and uncles afford to have our Little Yi marry their daughters?"
Yu Ling confirmed, "It’s true, they came to our house just today about it."
Gu Feng said, "Then you should talk to my uncle about it, why are you asking me?"
Yu Ling replied, "I’ve talked with your uncle. He meant that whatever you decide is okay."
Gu Dadong’s eyes lit up next to her, and he immediately gave his wife a thumbs up.
With such a hint, Gu Feng must have realized by now!
Indeed, as he had said, those uncles and uncles would only consider marrying their legitimate daughters to someone like Gu Feng, not that Gu Yi isn’t excellent.
It’s just that even his father Gu Yuan is not yet in the sight of the big shots of Beijing, so Gu Yi’s future is an unknown, which is why the other big shots don’t consider him suitable.
But.
Yet they were proposing marriage for Gu Yi this time.
What’s more, in the past two days, even Yu Ling emphasized urging Gu Feng to make the decision.
Normally, such matters would first be discussed with the grandfather, since he is the current spokesperson for the Gu Family.
Next, it would be Gu Yi’s father, Gu Yuan.
Only after that should they consult Gu Family head, Gu Dadong.
It certainly wouldn’t fall to Gu Feng.
But since Yu Ling specifically mentioned it this way, Gu Feng immediately understood!
These people were after the elixir!
They were relying on Gu Feng’s influence!
Meaning if Gu Feng agreed, it implied he had the confidence he could provide the elixir for the uncles, qualifying him to pull strings for his brother Gu Yi to secure this upriver marriage connection!
Gu Dadong, sitting beside her, waited with bated breath for his son’s response.
He feared that the elixir was merely conceptual, which would leave everyone empty-handed.
Why such concern?
Because so far, Gu Feng had not given the elixir to his grandfather, suggesting perhaps he really didn’t have extra life-related elixirs.
But actually, it’s not that Gu Feng didn’t want to give it to his grandfather; he wanted to give him something better!
Previously, he mainly focused on making Qi Refining Pills, just to try out his skills.
And that Life-Extending Pill was just a single pill he made casually, simply to show Mr. Song, to see if it had any adverse effects on humans or insurmountable research challenges.
Gu Feng said, "Mom, did the Yue Family come to propose?"
Yu Ling was taken aback, "Yes, but isn’t that Yue girl two years older than Little Yi?"
Gu Feng laughed, "Mom, why don’t you choose the Yue Family for Little Yi?"
Yu Ling asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Feng explained, "That kid has been secretly in love with her since he was clueless; it seems he’s been desperately serving in the army for my sake, but actually, it’s to be worthy of the Yue girl. I know about it, so you won’t go wrong choosing her."
"Really?" Yu Ling also laughed, "I didn’t see that coming; the kid is quite the romantic! Alright, then I’ll go propose for Little Yi?"
Gu Feng replied, "Yes, go ahead. Let me know the day of the proposal and I’ll prepare some gifts for him."
Yu Ling beamed, "Alright, son, how is your health?"
Lin Yue watched Gu Feng talk on the phone with his mother, suspiciously leaning in to listen to what was being said.
Just then, Yu Ling’s voice sounded, "Mom asked the doctor, and you’re not supposed to undergo any stress on your brain and heart, so you must keep yourself and Little Yue calm, okay?"
Gu Feng hadn’t expected his mother to suddenly drop that line, catching him off guard.
Lin Yue’s face instantly flushed red, leaning towards the phone, she giggled, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ve been letting Gu Feng sleep separately from me these past few days. Otherwise, he can’t sleep with me lying beside him, and it’s not good for his condition."
Lin Yue then cast a suggestively playful glance at Gu Feng.
"Okay, okay, keeping it that way for now is fine, you two bear with it a bit, I’m hanging up now," Yu Ling said, satisfied with a smile.
After hanging up, she disdainfully glanced at her husband Gu Dadong, "Have you learned something?"
Gu Dadong held his hands together in salute, "Wife, your wise plan secures peace under the heavens!"
