Chapter 291 The Marriage Proposal
Inside the Liu family's mansion.
Old Mrs. Liu, along with Liu Xin, Yang Long, Liu Qing, and the rest of the family, sat in the main hall, shrouded in gloom.
The Liu family had very little cash left. Their only core asset was the Tianliu Mall.
Unfortunately, the Tianliu Mall lacked foot traffic, teetering on the brink of collapse and unable to turn a profit.
Now, tenants in the Tianliu Mall were clamoring to terminate their leases, complaining about the low customer flow. Crucially, no one in the Liu family mansion was capable of taking on the position of Tianliu Mall Director to revitalize its traffic.
The old lady slammed the table in anger. Glaring at the Liu family members, she rebuked them with disappointment, "You, you are all useless! If any of you had any ability, would we be so cruelly bullied by that little slut Liu Ran?"
"Think about it, when she was the Director of Tianliu Mall, she made it flourish and even signed the project for the Yasihongdai flagship store."
"But now, customer traffic has plummeted, and Yasihongdai is threatening to withdraw their investment. Can't you all just strive for something better?"
Liu Xin retorted furiously, "Grandma, Liu Ran has too much luck. It's unavoidable. And the current state of Tianliu Mall is also partly her doing."
"If she hadn't made Tianliu Mall such a mess, we wouldn't be in such a predicament."
"Moreover, she's taken all the family's money. The sixty million yuan logistics fine also has to be paid by our Liu family because of her. It's all her fault, that little slut."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Old Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, "Liu Ran's company is doing smoothly now. There's no point in saying all this. We can only watch her get better and better, and that's the most infuriating part."
As they were speaking, the phone rang. Old Mrs. Liu answered, and the person on the other end said, "Hello, this is Daqin Group from Modu. I am the executive secretary of the chairman of Daqin Group. I am here to inform you of something. In half an hour, our chairman will arrive at your Liu family's old residence with gifts to propose marriage. Please be prepared."
Old Mrs. Liu paused for a moment, then exclaimed with surprise and joy, "Wait, Daqin Group? You said you are the executive secretary of the chairman of Daqin Group? This... we don't seem to have any dealings with Daqin Group!"
The executive secretary on the other end replied impatiently, "You will know the specific details when our chairman arrives."
"I will send a text message in the name of the group shortly. Please be ready to receive them."
After that, the call ended.
Immediately, Old Mrs. Liu received a message from Daqin Group. The message stated that Qin Minghuang, the chairman of Daqin Group, would bring a significant gift to the Liu family's old residence to propose marriage and hoped the old lady would agree.
Old Mrs. Liu was astonished and overjoyed upon seeing the text. She quickly turned to those around her, "Hey, quickly come and check if this text message is real. It's not a scam, is it? Who is this Qin Minghuang? Why is he suddenly coming to our Liu family to propose?"
Yang Long and the others crowded around to examine the text. Yang Long glanced at the phone number and said, "This... this is indeed an official number of a large group!"
"Qin Minghuang is indeed the director of Daqin Group. He is forty years old this year. His wife passed away three years ago, and he has been living alone. He is a renowned figure in Modu's business circles."
"His personal fortune amounts to a hundred billion. His major group is second to none in Modu City. I never imagined such a prominent figure would come to our Liu family mansion."
Hearing Yang Long's words, everyone around became excited, especially the unmarried women in the Liu family, who were overjoyed.
Liu Xin glanced at her delighted sisters and sneered with jealousy. She spoke, "Don't get ahead of yourselves with joy. Perhaps Mr. Qin is coming here because he has set his sights on Liu Ran again?"
Upon hearing this, the Liu family fell silent, as a similar situation had occurred before.
Then, Liu Qing impatiently and coldly said to Liu Xin, "Cousin Liu Xin, you are clearly jealous. You're jealous that we are unmarried, jealous that you have no chance!"
"Don't think you're the only one who can marry well. You married Young Master Yang, but we sisters also have opportunities. Mr. Qin is not an impulsive person; he is a stable man at forty. How could he possibly marry a slut like Liu Ran?"
"Besides, Liu Ran is already married."
The people around immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! Liu Xin, you are purely jealous. Mr. Qin is a stable person and would definitely not be interested in Liu Ran. It seems one of our sisters is about to rise to prominence."
Liu Qing and the other women chatted excitedly. The parents of Liu Qing and others were even more thrilled. If they could truly connect with the Qin family, it would be a tremendous leap to prosperity.
The Qin family was a prominent family in Modu, their power far exceeding that of the Bai family. Bai Tianlei's previous proposal had already filled them with joy and surprise. Now, it was the CEO of Daqin Group, Qin Minghuang, an absolutely powerful figure.
As everyone discussed excitedly, Liu Xin's eyes held a hint of hatred. She touched her belly and murmured to herself, "What's there to be so proud of? He's just a forty-year-old man. How can he compare to my Long Ge?"
"As for Chen Yang, hmph, thankfully I kicked him away back then. If I were still with Chen Yang, I would have been destined to never be able to hold my head up in the Liu family or anywhere else for my entire life."
Half an hour later, a car stopped at the entrance. Qin Minghuang, accompanied by Wu Dong and two bodyguards, walked in.
Qin Minghuang, dressed in a Tang suit, bowed to Old Mrs. Liu upon entering. The old lady, humbling herself, rushed forward to greet him cordially.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, your presence truly honors our Liu family. I heard that Mr. Qin has taken a liking to my granddaughter. Please state your intentions directly, and our Liu family will surely agree."
Qin Minghuang laughed heartily and strode to a seat. He then said, "That's wonderful. It's like this, Old Mrs. Liu. I wish to marry your Liu family's Liu Ran."
Old Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then her face contorted with displeasure and anger. The other members of the Liu family, upon hearing Qin Minghuang say he wanted to marry Liu Ran, became even more enraged.
"What's going on? Why is it again this slut Liu Ran? Why is everyone who comes to propose interested in Liu Ran?"
"Liu Ran, she's a married woman, a slut married to a delivery driver. Why does she still attract attention and behave so wantonly even after being married?"
"Right! It must be Liu Ran's excessively wanton behavior that attracts so many young masters and CEOs!"
