Li Cuicui wasn't a heartless person to begin with, and after this reminder from her daughter-in-law, her heart softened considerably.
"This is indeed a problem. Her family background alone is enough to make many suitors hesitate. So many people scheming together against a single girl, and all for the sake of the fortune she possesses."
Li Cuicui said this while staring at Gu Lehuan. "If you're thinking the same thing, you'd better give up that idea right now. The reputation of the Gu family is not for you to tarnish."
Gu Lehuan's expression grew even more bitter. 'Even my own family thinks this way. Is this what Mr. Xu thought, too? Is that why he rejected me so decisively?'
Ancient Wen Heng glanced at the fool lost in his own delusions and silently shook his head. 'A brain really is a wonderful thing.'
The family ate dinner in silence. Afterward, Ancient Wen Heng took Gu Yuanshui to the study.
