Reborn Girl's New Life Chapter 704 – The Luo Family's Proposal Pt.2

Chapter 704 The Luo Family's Proposal Pt.2

Shao Tianze took the phone from the servant, saying, “Hello.”

Someone at the other end said something.

It made Shao Tianze immediately knit his brows.

Shao Xue studied Shao Tianze's countenance and looked away before he turned to look at her. Then Shao Xue looked at Miaomiao.

“Wait a moment. I'll call you back soon. Now I have something to attend to.”

With this, Shao Tianze nodded and hung up the phone.

Shao Xue didn't ask Shao Tianze who called him.

However, Shao Tianze asked Shao Xue, “Do you know any people from the Luo Family in Harbor City?”

Shao Xue was relieved as the call was from the Luo Family.

Even so, Shao Xue didn't show it. She just asked in bewilderment, “No. What's wrong, brother?”

Shao Tianze shook his head, replying, “Nothing. I gotta return to the study now. If Miaomiao and you are hungry, tell the servants to prepare the dinner.”

“OK.” Shao Xue nodded.

Then Shao Tianze left the living room and returned to the study to call back to the elder of the Luo Family.

It was inappropriate to talk about Shao Xue's marriage with Luo Jiachi in the living room. If Shao Xue knew that Shao Tianze treated her as a bargaining chip, Shao Xue would surely be upset.

When Luo Jiachi received the call, he picked it up after it rang two or three times.

“Have you made up your mind, Mr. Shao?”

Luo Jiachi came straight to the point.

Shao Tianze replied, “It's about my younger sister's future. I gotta ask for her opinion.”

The elder of the Luo Family nodded, showing that he understood, “Right. After all, she is a girl and needs to find her Mr. Right.”

“Yes.”

“But I think my family is more reliable than the Tang Family.” Luo Jiachi was confident about their power and reputation.

Shao Tianze also showed his agreement, “Of course.”

As for the financial resources, the Luo Family was clearly the superior one.

Though the Luo Family was inferior to the three top families in Harbor City, it was way more powerful than the Tang Family.

It was just that the Shao Family and the Luo Family in Harbor City rarely had contact with each other. Why would the Luo Family of Harbor City call over and say that they would connect the Shao Family by marriage?

It was so strange.

He had to ponder it over.

“When will you give me your reply, Mr. Shao?”

Mr. Luo wanted to know an exact time.

Shao Tianze pondered for a moment, saying, “Give me two days. Is that OK?”

“Doesn't Miss Shao live in the Shao Family? Just in a few minutes you'll know Miss Shao's opinion, right?”

Mr. Luo came straight to the point.

Shao Tianze smiled, replying, “That's right. But we all have a long life, so I can just ponder for a few days.”

“My grandson doesn't know your younger sister, but I hope that he can find a sensible wife. Your younger sister is a suitable candidate.”

Though Luo Jiachi had stated the reason why he chose Shao Xue, Shao Tianze didn't believe him easily.

He said, “There are so many rich daughters in Harbor City. How did you get to know my younger sister?”

“Your younger sister was not the first one I knew. I first got to know the Shao enterprise.”

Hearing that, Shao Tianze couldn't help frowning.

Mr. Luo didn't first pay attention to Shao Xue, but the Shao enterprise.

Then it was way more complicated.

“I wonder if you would like to make a friend with us.”

Luo Jiachi clearly showed that he wanted to curry favor with Shao Tianze.

Now the Shao Family was in such a critical situation, being attacked by the Lu Family and the Song Family. Shao Tianze was considering allying another big family by Shao Xue's marriage.

But after a long time, Shao Tianze still hadn't found a suitable one in Yuncheng.

Almost all the candidates in Yuncheng were the sophisticated ones, fence-sitters, or freeloaders.

If Shao Tianze married his younger sister to anyone of them, he could hardly get any help.

But now Mr. Luo called him in person, which offered him a new choice.

After all, Luo Jiachi could not eat his words. Besides, Shao Xue had no contact with the Luo Family. Therefore, the reason why Mr. Luo called over was that he wanted to cooperate with the Shao Family.

Or Mr. Luo wanted to help the Shao Family as they were in danger and wanted to get some profits from it.

Sometimes, a relationship based on interests was more stable than a relationship based on love.

Shao Tianze now had half a mind to marry Shao Xue to the Luo Family. It was just that he didn't reply to Mr. Luo at once.

Luo Jiachi was not a person without patience. After telling Shao Tianze his purpose, Mr. Luo said, “Wait for your good news.”

“OK.”

“Mr. Shao, you gotta be quick. Or my naughty grandson may bring me some trouble after knowing that I have arranged a marriage for him.”

“Don't worry. I'll talk her around.”

Mr. Luo was satisfied with Shao Tianze's reply. He nodded and hung up after exchanging some banalities with Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze remained silent for a moment after hanging up the phone. Then he walked out of the study and got his coat, preparing to go out.

At the moment, Shao Xue was building blocks with Miaomiao in the living room.

Seeing Shao Tianze going out with his coat in his hand, Shao Xue felt strange, asking, “Brother, are you going out now?”

“There's something urgent.”

“You don't eat anything?” Shao Xue asked.

Shao Tianze said, “No. You and Miaomiao eat. Don't wait for me for dinner. I may be back very late.”

Hearing that, Shao Xue nodded, replying, “OK, I see.”

Seeing Shao Tianze leave the house, Shao Xue snorted.

Shao Tianze should have asked for her opinion first. But after getting the call from the Luo Family, Shao Tianze went to ask for Gu Changle's opinion.

It was so disappointing.

Shao Xue slightly clenched her fists.

Miaomiao was still building blocks. Seeing that Shao Xue was looking at the door, she felt strange, asking, “Aunt, what are you looking at?”

Hearing Miaomiao's voice, Shao Xue collected her wits, smiling, “Nothing.”

Though Miaomiao thought Shao Xue was worrying about something, she did not ask any further.

…

On the way to the hospital, Shao Tianze was still thinking about the pros and cons of marrying Shao Xue to the Luo Family.

He couldn't call the shots and he did not immediately ask for Shao Xue's opinion.

He had better ask for Gu Changle's opinion first and then ask for Shao Xue's opinion.

It was seven in the evening when Shao Tianze arrived at the ward.

Gu Changle had just cooled down. Then she saw Shao Tianze entered her ward.

She got excited but soon pulled a long face on thinking about their conflicts about Shao Xue's date.

Seeing her expression began reserved again, Shao Tianze tried to amuse her, “Are you still mad at me?”

Hearing this, Gu Changle turned her head, looked outside the window, and said, “Would I be mad at you?”

It was obvious that she was not happy.

Shao Tianze knew Gu Changle's temperament clearly. He sat on the bedside, took her hand, and said, “Come on. Don't be mad. Shao Xue is going to get married sooner or later. It is only that I want her to marry someone who will be of some use to us.”

Hearing this, Gu Changle's tone began tart again. She said, “Don't you just loath to leave her?”

“Why should I loath to let her leave? You are the only one I can't bear to lose.” Shao Tianze said.

Hearing what he said, Gu Changle felt a little happier.

She turned her head back, looked at Shao Tianze, and said, “Why come back again?”

Shao Tianze replied, “I got a call from Luo Jiachi after I had gone home.”

Gu Changle was not familiar with the situation and the power distribution of Harbor City. Hearing Shao Tianze mentioned Luo Jiachi, she was puzzled and asked, “Who is Luo Jiachi?”

Shao Tianze explained, “Don't you know the Luo Family in Harbor City?”

Gu Changle shook her head and said, “I don't know.”

As long as it wasn't what Gu Changge often said, she didn't know because she had learned most of what she knew about Harbor City from Gu Changge.

Shao Tianze also knew that Gu Changle didn't know much about the city. He explained, “The Luo Family is a much better family than the Tang family.”

Gu Changle understood what he said. With her brain working so fast, she asked Shao Tianze, “Do you mean that the Luo Family intends to marry Shao Xue?”

“Right.” Shao Tianze nodded his head.

Gu Changle wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, “Is there anyone of Shao Xue's age in the Luo Family?”

She was hoping that the man who was going to marry Shao Xue was much older than her, and then Shao Xue could not afford to turn over any waves in her life.

However, she felt disappointed about what Shao Tianze said in the next second.

Shao Tianze said, “Luo Jiachi's eldest grandson is 23 years old this year, the same with Shao Xue's age, and he is a good-looking man.”

Gu Changle's brows wrinkled tightly.

She couldn't bear that Shao Xue could marry a man who was good in all aspects.

“The Luo Family is from Harbor City. How could he know Shao Xue?” Gu Changle tried to prevent Shao Xue from marrying the Luo Family.

But Shao Tianze said, “No matter the Luo Family comes from Harbor City or Yuncheng, he can help us now. If Shao Xue can marry the Luo Family, getting their help, our family will solve a lot of problems.”

Shao Tianze was considerate, hoping to get help from the Luo Family.

However, Gu Changle was not satisfied with that. She argued, “Elder Luo made such a decision for his eldest grandson, but will his grandson listen to him?”

“Elder Luo has been in power in the Luo Family for decades, so he should be able to arrange that.” Shao Tianze replied.

“Are you going to let Shao Xue marry the Luo Family?”

Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze smiled and said, “This is a big deal. I think I need to discuss it with you and see what your opinion is.”

Gu Changle was a little unhappy. “No matter what kind of opinions I hold, you won't refuse the Luo Family for me, will you?”

“I will take your opinion into consideration.”

Shao Tianze said, “If I couldn't refuse the Luo Family, I would just accept their proposal, and I wouldn't have come and discussed it with you, would I?”
