Old Mr. Chu looked cheerful. He first showed his concern for Shi Huanâs health, then walked to Chu Xiuhuang and smacked him on the forehead, âYou unreliable rascal!â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
âHurry up, Iâve already brought the kid over. How do you plan to handle this?â
Chu Xiuhuang said, âGrandpa, Iâve decided to marry Huanhuan.â
âMarry?â
âYes,â Chu Xiuhuang spoke convincingly, âHuanhuan really likes Luoluo, and Luoluo likes her too. Luoluo will be our child in the future.â
Old Mr. Chu opened his mouth in surprise, completely amazed by his grandsonâs wild imagination.
âGrandpa, you must support me.â
Because there were already two people at home who did not support him. Despite other peopleâs support or lack of it, he didnât really care. But for Shi Huanâs sake, it was necessary to find an ally.
Old Mr. Chu turned to look at Shi Huan.
Truth be told, he hadnât paid much attention to her over the years, only knowing that she was the Shi Familyâs youngest daughter, who had allegedly been kidnapped as a child and only found in an orphanage when she was fifteen.
Maybe thatâs why she wasnât much loved by the older generation and didnât have much presence in the Shi Family.
She began working with Chu Xiuhuang when the Shi Family ran into trouble. She was only nineteen at the time. Over the past few years, she had always been Chu Xiuhuangâs secretary.
She was very competent at work, reliable with both major and minor matters, even down to arranging blind dates.
She always wore big black-framed glasses and black professional attire all year round. Looking rather unattractive, until now when she took off her glasses, she turned out to be quite beautifulâ¦
Truly the daughter of the Shi Family, even looking a lot like Little Luoluo. Both are real beauties!
So did the two of them fall in love from constant exposure to each other?
Old Mr. Chu pondered.
Anyway, Little Luoluo also really liked Shi Huan. Since this was the case, if she could be Luoluoâs stepmother, the child would definitely obey her.
Also, she was highly competent at work. After marrying Xiuhuang, she would be able to help him with his career and family, and it would also relieve him of his worries.
After getting married, with a little effort, they might soon have a healthy little boy.
A single move that brings multiple benefits!
Old Mr. Chu was calculating in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed.
Finally, he slapped his hands together.
âExcellent! This is final, youâll get married immediately. Ms. Shi, from now on youâll be Luoluoâs mother and my granddaughter-in-law! Rest assured, I treat the younger generation very well. The wedding will definitely be grand. You can discuss any requirements with Yonghua, and she will take care of everything.â
Yonghua, Chu Xiuhuangâs mother.
The famous stern and aloof Mrs. Chu.
Shi Huan had interacted with her few times before, and she was not an easy person to get along with.
So, hearing this almost frightened her to death.
What was this grandfather-grandson duoâs style of doing things?
Making decisions as swiftly as a passing gust?
Had they just decided on the matter of the marriage?
Didnât they care for her opinion, the person involved?
Shi Huan had a hard time speaking, âOld sir, youâve misunderstood. Iâm not going to marry Chuâ¦â
âWhy? Is my grandson not tall or handsome enough for you? Or not rich enough? You donât like Tall, Rich, and Handsome?â
Shi Huan was dumbfounded: ââ¦â
âRest assured, as long as you agree to marry into our family, youâll be the first granddaughter-in-law of the Chu Family. From then on, you can slowly take over the affairs of the Chu Family. Even if you donât have any feelings for Ahuang, it doesnât matter. Let him enjoy his life, just turn a blind eye to his affairs.â
This time even Chu Xiuhuang was: ââ¦â
âBut before the marriage, thereâs one thing we need to take care of â that is, Luoluoâs mother. We can pay her to keep her mouth shut. If not, we might have to use some measures. You understand, right?â
Chu Xiuhuang again: ââ¦â
This old manâ¦
âDid you understand what I just said?â Old Mr. Chu stared fiercely.
Chu Xiuhuang had a twitch in his brow and could only nod, âYes.â
So, Old Mr. Chu was overjoyed, âGreat! Today, I, Chu Dongge, found my long-lost granddaughter, and soon Iâll have a granddaughter-in-law. Ah, Iâm so happy. What a wonderful day today isâ¦â
âGrandpa! Are you getting senile?â
Suddenly a familiar female voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of high heels.
Old Mr. Chu looked displeased at the newcomer, âWhat are you doing here?â
Chu Xiuhuang immediately frowned.
âI heard that Shi Huan was hospitalized, so I came to visit.â Chu Jingyi walked in gracefully.
She was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, as if she really came for a visit.
As she approached, she put down the flowers and then looked at Shi Huan.
Her forehead was wrapped in a bandage, and her face was covered with various bruises and swellings. She laid there looking slim, fragile and pitiful, somewhat resembling a beautifully weak invalid.
âWhat happened? How did you get so badly injured?â Chu Jingyi was somewhat surprised.
She didnât like Shi Huan, initially assuming she was pretending to be sick to win Chu Xiuhuangâs sympathy. She didnât expect her to be so seriously injured, looking as though she had been violently beaten.
âSeen enough? If you have, you can leave.â Chu Xiuhuang bluntly told her to leave.
Chu Jingyi raised her eyes and gave a light laugh, âI have seen the patient, but, I have one more thing I need to confirm. Shi Huan, you did not forget our agreement due to your severe injuries, did you?â
Shi Huan, âI didnât forget.â
âThen why is my brother still marrying you?â
Shi Huan frowned, âI never agreed to the marriage.â
âHeh heh.â Chu Jingyi naturally didnât believe her.
She looked at Chu Xiuhuang, âAhuang, Shi Huan is nothing more than a shallow, materialistic socialite whoâs now hurt and wants to take advantage of your sympathy. When will you finally wake up?â
âWhat does it have to do with you?â Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her, âYou donât have a say here, just leave!â
âYouâre asking me to leave? Iâm your sister!â
âAre you leaving or not?â
âYouâ¦â
âEnough!â The elder Chu patriarch intervened impatiently, âWhat are you siblings arguing about? If you must argue, do it somewhere else, not here where you are scaring my great-grandniece.â
Chu Jingyi grit her teeth and then immediately pulled out her cell phone, pressing the play button.
A recorded conversation immediately started playing.
âHereâs 8 million, for you.â This was Chu Jingyiâs voice.
âWhat do you mean?â This was Shi Huanâs voice.
Then continuing.
âStop pretending, you were just clinging to my brother, unwilling to quit your job, and itâs all for money, right? As long as you agree to quit your job and leave my brother, this money will be all yours.â
âYou mean, as long as I quit my job, leave Young Master Chu, this money will all be mine?â
âYes.â
âWill Miss Chu keep her word?â
âOf course, you can directly cash this check at the bank. If itâs inconvenient for you, you can change it to a transfer.â
âOkay. Thank you, I was planning to quit my job recently. Rest assured, I will leave Huangyou and I will never see Young Master Chu again. Any other questions?â
âI hope you will keep your word.â
âOkay, Miss Chu, I will go back to finish my job transfer first.â
The audio finished playing.
The room once again fell silent.
Chu Jingyi hooked up her red lips and smiled triumphantly, âGrandfather, Ahuang, youâve heard it now, right? The audio canât be fake! Shi Huan, what do you have to say now?â
Shi Huan asked, âMiss Chu, why donât you play the rest of the conversation?â
âIs it necessary? You accepting my 8 million is true, and your agreement to leave my brother for 8 million is also true.â
Chu Jingyiâs smile deepened, she looked at Chu Xiuhuang again, âAhuang, do you still plan on marrying this kind of woman? Today, she can leave you for 8 million, tomorrow, she might jump into bed with another man for that same 8 million! She could cuckold you! I advise you, do not continue to be a fool.â
âIs that the purpose of your visit today?â asked Chu Xiuhuang.
He had the same expression, and even his voice was calm, without the anger or disappointment she expected.
Chu Jingyi couldnât help but frown, âAhuang? Youâ¦â
âYou can leave now!â
Chu Jingyiâs pupils suddenly constricted, âYouâ¦â
âShe likes money? Isnât that just right? Because I have plenty of money! You give her 8 million to leave me, right? Then I will betroth her with 80 million! Are we talking about throwing money? Who has more money? You want to compare with me? Try it!â
Shi Huan: ââ¦â
Chu Jingyi: ââ¦â
The elder Chu patriarch also: ââ¦â
Everyone in the room was so stunned that they couldnât speak.
Eventually, Chu Jingyi stormed out of the ward, her face filled with humiliation.
Not long after, the lady of the Chu family received a call from her daughter.
âMom, my brother is crazy! Heâs really crazy! He said heâs going to betroth Shi Huan with 80 million!â
âWhat do you mean?â The delicate brush in her hand suddenly sank.
