Chapter 842 - 842: Marriage Before Love (11)

Translator: Lordbluefire

Listening to Lu Cheng’s complaints, Chu Tianye twitched his mouth and retorted, “Uncle Cheng, your reason for not getting married isn’t because of this, is it? After all, this rumor just started spreading. But you haven’t gotten married for fifteen years!”

Lu Cheng,”!!”

He tugged at his mouth, “You don’t have to speak the whole truth.”

Too close to home!!

Chu Tianye smiled, “Alright, I’ll go home and explain for you. Aunt Ye Lu must be at my mother’s place!”

Lu Cheng’s expression changed instantly, and he personally walked Chu Tianye to the door, saying, “Little Ye, little young master, I’ve been managing the company for you all these years. Even the Chu Corporation has been neglected. Please help me handle it. My future happiness relies on you!”

Chu Tianye suddenly chuckled, “Well… it’s possible. But, Uncle Cheng, you’ve been managing my side of things while also helping Dad. It’s really overwhelming, right? How about resigning from positions at the Huo Corporation and Loong Consortium, and just taking the dividends?”

Lu Cheng,!!

This little financial enthusiast was planning to get all of his attention on his company!

Lu Cheng was about to decline since his loyalty to Brother Chen could be seen over the years!

However, the next moment, Chu Tianye said, “If you’re going to work for me specifically, I can’t let you be too burdened. Besides, I have to help you get Aunt Ye Lii.”

Lu Cheng was skeptical, “Can you do it?”

“Of course.” Chu Tianye smiled, “Even if I can’t do it, don’t we have Xiaomeng and Chuyu?”

These three little devils had been successful in everything they tried since childhood!

After a o.oi-second internal struggle, Lu Cheng immediately agreed, “Fine, then I’ll resign.”

That o.oi-second hesitation was out of respect for Brother Chen!

At the Chu residence.

Ye Lii was complaining to Shen Ruojing, “Hahaha, I told you he’s unreliable. He’s at this age and still maintaining a young star outside. Isn’t he afraid of kidney deficiency?”

Shen Ruojing leaned back on the couch, sipping tea with a few red wolfberries steeped inside. Time hadn’t left a trace on her face. Now, she looked like a woman in her twenties, and some people would definitely believe it.

She was still as laid-back as ever, and her one-track mind was being a couch potato. She took a sip of tea and inquired, “That rumor should be fake.”

“How could it be fake?”

Ye Lu indignantly said, “If it’s fake, why don’t they come out and clear it up? He’s been helping Little Ye manage the entertainment industry for years. He’s familiar with resources. He could easily get several little stars. Why wouldn’t he be able to?”

Ye Lu grew angrier as she spoke. “So, we have to break up. We must break up!”

Shen Ruojing said nonchalantly, “Hmm hmm, break up, break up!”

Ye Lil,”??”

Ye Lu looked at Shen Ruojing in surprise. “Ah? Aren’t you going to advise me?”

Shen Ruojing chuckled, “Advise what? I also think Lu Cheng is unreliable. He wears colorful shirts all the time, like a peacock… and his character is so frivolous. Back in the day, he even looked down on me!”

Ye Lii immediately tried to argue, “That was because he didn’t know you! Besides, you had a bad reputation back then, so when you suddenly claimed you were capable, who would have believed you? He has a fixed impression of you, but don’t let that make you biased against him. Moreover, he’s worked hard for your husband and son for these years. Even without accomplishments, he has at least put in effort. You…”

As Ye Lii spoke, she noticed a smile forming on Shen Ruojing’s face.

Ye Lii instantly understood.

Her face turned red, “Ugh, you’re tricking me!”

Shen Ruojing said, “Whenever I say something in Lu Cheng’s defense, you end up defending him. Despite that, you claim you don’t love him? Don’t drag it out for too long. Both of you are in your forties. If you don’t get married soon, it won’t look good…”

Ye Lii furrowed her brows, “No, why do women have to get married? After marriage, you have to manage the household and have children. Not getting married gives me more free time. Besides, I haven’t played enough yet!”

Shen Ruojing raised an eyebrow, “Oh, you already believe the rumor about the young star is fake?”

Ye Lii coughed, “Even if he has those thoughts, he doesn’t have the guts. Besides…”

She lowered her voice and whispered into Shen Ruojing’s ear, “That guy is busy with his official duties with me every day. How could he have time to mess around?”

“Pfft!”

Shen Ruojing nearly sprayed out the tea she was sipping.

Ye Lii was truly fearless with her words!

She tugged at her mouth, and just then, Chu Tianye returned home. He looked at Ye Lii and said, “Aunt Ye Lii, there’s something I need to clarify for you about Uncle Cheng and Su Yan’s rumors…”

Ye Lii turned her gaze towards Chu Tianye and immediately turned her head away, saying, “Tianye, you don’t need to defend Lu Cheng. Flies don’t land on a seamless egg. It’s definitely his fault!”

Chu Tianye,…

He coughed, “Um, well, Aunt Ye Lu, you’ve misunderstood. What I meant to say is that it’s not a rumor. It’s true.”

Ye Lii was suddenly filled with question marks,”?????”

Shen Ruojing’s tea paused in mid-air, and she raised an eyebrow while looking at Chu Tianye.

Su Yan was her daughter-in-law! What was this guy up to?
