Even though Huo Jincheng might occasionally say a few words about Helian Xi, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about her.

After all, she’s his cousin.

She grew up by his side since childhood.

Naturally, there’s no reason for her to be forced by others.

"The old lady of the Gu family is not willing to leave this world so easily. She managed to hold on until Mr. Gu passed away, and now that no one is overseeing her, she’s acting out.

Gu family’s current situation can’t be said to be without her responsibility. Instead of living a peaceful life, she insists on meddling with the lives of the younger generation. She even wants to have a say in the company, bringing people from the Liu family in—as if she considers herself the Empress Dowager.

Just wait! Although your husband is the most outstanding of the Gu family’s younger generation, now all of them are just waiting for the old lady to pass away! After that, your husband will be busy. With so many members of the Gu family, no one will be content to be second fiddle."

It’s rare for Huo Jincheng to say such things; he’s not one to gossip, just giving Helian Xi a reminder.

"What’s this got to do with her wanting to see me and Gu Jin Yan get married?" Helian Xi couldn’t understand.

"Zhi Zhi, what do you think?" Huo Jincheng suddenly smiled at Lu Xingzhi.

"Me? Why are you suddenly asking me?" Lu Xingzhi looked confused.

"I just want to hear your opinion. Why do you think the old lady wants to see them get married, and why are the Gu family members following suit and persuading?" Huo Jincheng put down Little Crab and sat next to Lu Xingzhi.

"If she’s like you’re saying, then she’s unwilling to face death. Either that, or she feels that if she does this, the Helian family won’t agree. After all, this is really quite inexplicable.

If she wants to see them get married, that’s somewhat understandable. But they already have a child together. This will inevitably create a rift between her and Gu Jin Yan. Even if they don’t divorce, their marriage won’t be happy then.

And Gu Jin Yan will feel guilty towards the old lady for life. I think she likes power very much and loves to control others. Gu Jin Yan should have been very good at pleasing her since he was young."

Lu Xingzhi furrowed her brow, "That would make her really twisted. But by her logic, this might be normal. However, there is another possibility."

"What possibility?" Helian Xi wondered if she was truly too dense, despite their family’s intelligence not being low.

"The more she likes Gu Jin Yan, the more she probably dislikes you. It’s just that the Helian family is more prominent than the Gu family, so even if she’s dissatisfied, she can’t do anything about it.

Now that she’s about to pass away, naturally, she can make requests without restraint. If you make a fuss, she might even be happy."

"Little Zhi Liao, I don’t understand. Isn’t she afraid of me divorcing Gu Jin Yan?" Helian Xi felt her brain wasn’t enough.

"That’s the other possibility I mentioned." Lu Xingzhi curled her lips lightly.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!" Helian Xi was already extremely anxious.

Lu Xingzhi chuckled softly and slowly said, "If you get divorced, she can smoothly send the girl she likes and can control to her grandson’s side. Anyway, the wedding invitations have already been sent out. The bride can be switched at any time. After all, her goal is to see her grandson married!"

"What good does that do her?"
