Chapter 506: Target Confirmed (1/2)

“This Wang Jie is doing better than his older brother. He is eloquent and intelligent, although rather crafty. In the future, he will take over almost all the Wang family’s wealth and connections. The two old folks despise their older son for being useless, but dote on this younger son.”

Gu Qingyao’s eyes widened. “Then why would he fancy Sun Mei?”

He was such a catch, he could definitely find a city girl from a fine family. In these times, city dwellers were unwilling to marry village girls because they could not find jobs in the city.

Life was hard in these times. It was not easy to support a freeloader.

Mo Beihan smiled. “Their family is looking for a village girl, preferably one without family support and absolutely obedient.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Gu Jinhang’s gentle eyes were smiling, but if anyone saw that smile, they would be frightened.

“This Wang Jie is thirty years old this year. He was married before. His older brother’s son is actually his son. Also, his older brother seems to have suffered some sort of injury and is infertile, so he only has two daughters.

“Now, Wang Jie’s six-year-old son is the Wang family’s only successor. The two old folks place special importance on this son.

“More crucially, Wang Jie’s previous wife came from an excellent family. Wang Jie’s success to date is largely due to his father-in-law. He is a leader in a factory in the neighboring city. I heard he is at the deputy director level, although he is probably the least powerful of the deputy directors.”

“The Wang family will be transferred soon. They are moving so they can depend on their in-laws. Under these circumstances, it’s natural for the Wang family to treat their grandson like a deity. Now that they are looking for a wife for Wang Jie, they want someone who will be absolutely obedient and who won’t be a threat to the boy. I heard his father-in-law’s family is fairly domineering. They have forbidden Wang Jie from having children in the future. He is only allowed to have this son that he had with his former wife. He cannot even have a daughter.”
