Chapter 739: Be With Li Zhe
Once the words had been spoken, Guan Lei fixed his gaze firmly on Meng Yu and asked, "Since we are all here today, Meng Yu, why don’t you tell us about your future plans? Who do you want to be with? Personally, I hope that you can choose a girl you like from today’s gathering, marry her, and then return to the Guan family. I will let you stay with us as a sworn brother, and your child will be the heir of the Guan family."
Guan Lei had not spoken recklessly. His plan for today was to have Meng Yu choose someone he liked, then stand before their grandfather and declare that Meng Yu would marry the girl as his adopted son and inherit the Guan family. He could stay hidden behind Meng Yu, keeping an eye on those old folks from the Guan family, ensuring they would not cause any trouble.
This way, he could break free from the family’s constraints and be with Shen Xi without any worries, while also giving Li Zhe a lesson.
However, he had not anticipated that Li Zhe would be hunted by someone, leading to Li Zhe’s presence at the banquet, which threw everything into chaos.
The possibility of Meng Yu being abducted by Li Zhe, and the potential consequence of the Guan family having no heir, left Guan Lei deeply perturbed.
As for his and Shen Xi’s child, Guan Lei had already decided. They would take Shen Xi’s family name; their child would undoubtedly be much happier whether they were with the Shen family or the Lu family than with the Guan family.
Meng Yu was shocked by Guan Lei’s words. He had not expected that Guan Lei had brought him to the Guan family for this reason. Guan Lei was actually willing to give up his inheritance rights in the Guan family.
Guan Yi furrowed his brows. He was fine with Meng Yu returning to the Guan family, but having Meng Yu’s child inherit the Guan family was bound to meet resistance from the clan.
