Chapter 706 No Contact

If she allowed Shao Tianze to make a decisive turn for the better so easily, she would not have been Gu Cheng’s daughter, Gu Changge.

She had been Shao Tianze’s wife for many years once. She could not guess exactly what Shao Tianze wanted, but she could have a general idea.

Now, Shao Tianze must want to use Shao Xue’s marriage to change the backwardness of the Shao Family.

However, if Shao Xue married the Luo Family who hated the Shao Family in the first place, Shao Tianze’s plan would fall through.

After finishing the superficial work, the Luo Family would not give the Shao Family any substantive help.

...

Mei Qi always did things very securely.

And it was easy to erase the traces that the Luo Family had contact with the Song Family. Song Yunxuan had contacted the Luo Family secretly, which basically no one else knew, except for a few people around her.

As long as they and the Luo Family had a unified story, even if Shao Tianze had great abilities, it was difficult to find out.

After Shao Tianze investigated for two days, there was no trace.

The date of reply to Luo Jiachi was approaching.

Therefore, Shao Tianze went to discuss with Gu Changle about the marriage of Shao Xue and Luo Xi.

As soon as she heard it, Gu Changle frowned and said, “Do the Luo Family and the Song Family really have no other connection?”

She still did not believe it.

Shao Tianze nodded, “I have ordered someone to investigate. The Luo Family did not have any contact with the Song Family before.”

Gu Changle twisted her brows, “How is this possible?”

Seeing Gu Changle frowning, Shao Tianze comforted her, “I have investigated it thoroughly. Don’t worry. The next thing we have to think about is Shao Xue’s marriage.”

Gu Changle frowned, “We’ll just send her there. Preparing for the wedding should be the Luo Family’s business. We just need to prepare a dowry for her.”

In fact, since Shao Tianze had decided to get Shao Xue married, the major affair he came to discuss with Gu Changle was how many dowries they should prepare for Shao Xue.

Shao Tianze stretched out five fingers and asked Gu Changle, “What do you think of this number?”

“Five million is fine.”

Shao Tianze shook his head, “No.”

“Five hundred thousand is too little.” Even if she disliked Shao Xue and desperately hoped not to give Shao Xue a penny, she could only think it in her heart and had to show a little care for Shao Xue on the surface because Shao Xue was Shao Tianze’s younger sister.

Shao Tianze chuckled and said, “Not half a million.”

“What?” Gu Changle had a bad feeling.

“Five million times ten.” Shao Tianze said.

Gu Changle immediately widened her eyes, “Are you crazy? For such a wench, if you want to give her a dowry worth fifty million, you might as well let her rob.”

Gu Changle was the first to disagree with the fifty-million-yuan dowry.

However, Shao Tianze had his own ideas, “After Shao Xue marries Luo Xi, she will be the Luo Family’s daughter-in-law. Our dowry of fifty million is for Luo Jiachi to see.”

“What for?” Gu Changle felt the fifty million was not worth spending. She believed that even if they sold Shao Xue, she was not worth fifty million.

“As long as the dowry we prepare for Shao Xue is expensive, Luo Jiachi will know that we are good to Shao Xue. Only if we treat Shao Xue well and value her, Luo Jiachi will pay the same attention to us after Shao Xue gets married.”

Shao Tianze’s words were reasonable.

The purpose of the Luo Family’s cooperation with the Shao Family through marriage was gaining interests, not marrying Shao Xue.

If they had only wanted to marry Shao Xue, Shao Tianze would not have agreed to Shao Xue’s marriage.

He married Shao Xue to the Luo Family in the hope of getting help from them.

If the Luo Family found that Shao Xue was not valued by the Shao Family after marrying her, they would feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort might cause the Luo Family to stand by and not to help the Shao Family’s crisis.

Shao Tianze analyzed the pros and cons for Gu Changle.

Although Gu Changle still frowned, she was not as determined as before. She discussed with Shao Tianze, “What about thirty million? Fifty million is too much.”

“Thirty million can’t show that we value her.”

“Forty million.” Gu Changle believed that they should give as little as possible, and keeping the money for themselves was the best.

Shao Tianze shook his head, “Fifty million is the most suitable.”

Since Shao Tianze insisted on giving Shao Xue a fifty-million dowry, Gu Changle could not change Shao Tianze’s mind. She had to let Shao Tianze do so.

However, no matter how she thought, she felt at a loss.

Nevertheless, she had no way to stop him. She could only get angry silently by herself.

After discussing with Gu Changle, Shao Tianze waited for the Luo Family’s call.

But he waited and waited and still did not get the Luo Family’s phone call at the agreed time.

The Luo Family did not call him on time, and Shao Tianze’s heart was deeply disturbed.

He did not get the Luo Family’s phone all night, so he did not sleep well.

In the morning of the next day, Shao Tianze called Gu Changle, “The Luo Family didn’t call last night.”

Gu Changle felt very happy because she could save fifty million, “Has the Luo Family temporarily repented?”

“This is unlikely. They shouldn’t be the family that can’t keep their promises.”

Gu Changle said, “It’s hard to say. We’ll wait for today. If there is no news from the Luo Family, let’s change the plan and marry Shao Xue to Zhou Kang, the third son of the Zhou Family. He used to be a trader on Woll Street, and he is promising.”

Gu Changle was thrilled in her heart. Zhou Kang was not an elite. Although he was highly educated and seemed to have good personal abilities, he was impulsive and irritable. Gu Changle had heard that he was prone to domestic violence. His first wife divorced him because of it.

If Shao Xue married him, she would definitely lead a miserable life after marriage.

Gu Changle planned in her heart happily.

Shao Tianze did not agree but frowned and said, “We will discuss it later.”

He still preferred to marry Shao Xue to the Luo Family. Now that he already had such an excellent choice, how could he consider other families that were not as good as the Luo Family?

When Gu Changle learned that Shao Tianze did not consider Zhou Kang, she had to give up the topic temporarily. She could bring it up again when the Luo Family gave up.

If the Luo Family had no intention of marrying Shao Xue, Shao Xue’s value in Shao Tianze’s heart would plummet.

By then, if Gu Changle mentioned marrying Shao Xue to the Zhou Family again, Shao Tianze would not oppose it as he did now.

Because the Luo Family did not contact him, Shao Tianze was a little irritable and did not want to talk more with Gu Changle.

After asking about Gu Changle’s physical condition, he hung up the phone.

The Luo Family was clear that Shao Tianze was waiting anxiously.

Luo Xi could not fully understand his grandfather’s thoughts.

When playing chess with Luo Jiachi at night, Luo Xi couldn’t help asking, “Grandpa, how did you discuss with the Shao Family?”

Being asked by his grandson, Luo Jiachi smiled and said shrewdly, “Don’t be so anxious.”

“I am not anxious. I’m just afraid that as time goes by, the situation may change.”

Luo Xi looked at his grandfather’s expression and guessed what Luo Jiachi was thinking.

Luo Jiachi just kept his eyes on the chessboard, not his grandson, “It’s not just that we think bad changes may happen over time. Now the Shao Family should also be afraid that unfavorable things may happen and feel restless.”

“Well...” Luo Xi frowned.

Luo Jiachi said, “Marrying Shao Xue to you is Shao Tianze’s best choice. Except us, he has no second-best choice.”

“Why didn’t he agree immediately when you called?”

“Because he was pretending and wanted to raise his profile.” Luo Jiachi smiled, “The more you hesitate about something, the more it appears that you value it and cannot bear to give up.”

“Did he just do this to show that he values Shao Xue?”

“Yes.” Luo Jiachi nodded and looked up at his grandson, “How much do you think Shao Xue’s dowry will be?”

Hearing his grandpa’s question, Luo Xi hesitated and said, “Shao Xue is not Shao Tianze’s biological sister. She is not favored and valued by Shao Tianze as stated outside. Therefore, her dowry should not be particularly large. I think twenty million yuan is the most.”

“If he only plans to give twenty million yuan, he wouldn’t have put on a show when I called him.” Luo Jiachi laughed and then took a move. He took one of his grandson’s chess pieces, “You made a wrong move. I took it.”

Seeing his grandfather take one of his chess pieces off the board, Luo Xi frowned and said, “Grandpa, how much do you think Shao Xue’s dowry will be?”

“Shao Tianze will definitely make a show. At least fifty million yuan.”

“That’s a lot.” Luo Xi did not believe it.

Luo Jiachi raised his head and looked at his grandson with a smile, “Our Luo Family is the only one that can save the Shao Family now. Of course, Shao Tianze will find ways to express that he values his sister. After all, the relationship between the Luo Family and the Shao Family will be maintained only by Shao Xue.”

Luo Xi understood what his grandpa meant and nodded, “I understand.”

“You go to Yuncheng with me tomorrow.”

Luo Jiachi said.

“Grandpa, are you going personally?” Luo Xi was surprised.

He had thought his grandfather hated Shao Tianze and would never step into the Shao Family. He did not expect that his grandfather would personally go to the Shao Family because of his marriage.

Luo Jiachi sighed softly, “I have to go in person. Otherwise, how can I explain that we are not responding to him today?”

Let the Shao Family worry for one night. The next day he would personally take Luo Xi to apologize and propose marriage. That should be considered comprehensive.

If he had called Shao Tianze on time today, Shao Tianze would have considered the Luo Family vulnerable.

Luo Jiachi thought a lot and did things thoughtfully and meticulously.

Hearing his grandfather’s words, Luo Xi said, “Grandpa, I will do what you say. I listen to you.”

Luo Jiachi nodded. Obviously, he was satisfied with his grandson’s answer.

And he added, “Learn from it.”
