Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Chu Lin and Cheng Yue Will Not Agree to Marry

Yuan Xi chuckled as she continued, “Back then, I had already turned down Zhu Jie’s offer to be his girlfriend, but he insisted it was just my shyness and wanted to give me the chance to be his girlfriend. He harassed me every day, and I had no choice but to have Shi Lei pretend to be my lover to get him to stop.

After graduating from high school, we all went our separate ways and never saw each other again.”

Yuan Xi used to be in a high school group, but probably lost it when cleaning out her WeChat.

She didn’t have many friends in high school; her classmates were all aiming to get into universities in Beijing, so there wasn’t much socializing, just endless studying.

Yuan Xi only kept in touch with four or five high school classmates through WeChat, and they had practically become strangers, occasionally interacting through likes on each other’s posts.

Yuan Xi smiled faintly, “I didn’t expect to run into someone while visiting the grave; it must be fate.”

Seeing the rain had lessened, Huo Shiyuan put away the umbrella and draped an arm over Yuan Xi’s shoulders, laughing lightly, “What fate? Let’s go, let’s have dinner at Xiao Hao’s house.”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly as she followed Huo Shiyuan down the mountain and headed to her grandparents’ rented courtyard.

The flowers in the small courtyard were blooming beautifully at that moment.

When they reached her grandparents’ place, the rain had already stopped.

Upon entering, Yuan Xi saw her aunt arranging the offering table and burning paper money.

“Xiao Xi, you’re here, come and sit inside.”

Yuan Xi felt much more relaxed inside the Liang Family’s house than at the Chu Family’s.

Granny Liang held Yuan Xi’s hand and asked, “Why didn’t you bring the kids?”

“The kids are too young; I didn’t want to trouble them with traveling,” Yuan Xi chuckled lightly. “I’ll bring both babies to visit you next year.”

Granny Liang smiled and said, “Good, I don’t even know if this old body will live to see the day Xiao Hao’s child is born, but seeing your two babies will make me very happy.”

Yuan Xi replied, “You will definitely see it. By the way, where’s Xiao Hao?”

Granny Liang said, “This morning he remembered that you like the snails available during Qingming Festival, so he especially went to Ruohu to pick some. The water there is clean, so we don’t need to keep them for long before eating.”

Yuan Xi laughed and said, “You could have just bought a pound from the market; why go through the trouble yourself?”

“Those sold in the market as from Ruohu might not be genuine. Only the snails from Ruohu are the cleanest; other lakes are polluted and dirty.”

Liang Hao entered wearing a black jacket, holding a bamboo basket of snails.

Yuan Xi was somewhat moved; during her toughest years, she was able to stay optimistic because of the beautiful experiences in her childhood. Some people spend a lifetime trying to heal from their childhood, but she had relied on the beauty of hers to stay optimistic about the future.

Ever since she was little, her relatives always remembered her tastes. Regardless of blood relation, she had always been the child doted on by her relatives.

When she was little, during Qingming Festival, coming to Granny’s house with her parents, they would specifically pick snails and peas for her.

Nothing had changed.

Tomorrow was Chu Lin and Cheng Yue’s engagement day. After having dinner at the Liang Family’s house, Yuan Xi went to the Chu Family’s house to help out.

Although she wasn’t fond of Chu Lin, after hearing Chu Qing mention yesterday that the doctor advised Yang Ying to rest properly, Yuan Xi felt obliged to help out now that she was back in Jiang City.

Upon arriving at the Chu Family’s house, Yuan Xi saw Yang Ying sitting on the sofa, visibly upset.

Old Madam Chu was still pressing, “My eldest grandson’s engagement, and we just found out today? Weren’t you planning to invite me at all?”

“Yang Ying, your heart is truly too cruel. Chu Lin is your own son, how can you choose such a daughter-in-law for him?

Cheng Yue’s father is about to retire as merely a minor director in the Jiangcheng Energy Bureau, and her mother is just a chief physician in the dermatology department at Jiang City Hospital, also about to retire soon.

Cheng Yue’s family has no resources, connections, or money to speak of for our Chu Family. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for Chuneng Group marrying such a Young Madam?”

“And such an important matter as Lin’er’s marriage, you didn’t even discuss it with me?”

Yang Ying said, “My son’s marriage does not need to be discussed with irrelevant people.”

Old Madam Chu, pointing her finger angrily at Yang Ying, said, “Irrelevant people? Am I an irrelevant person?”

She then turned to Chu Qing, “Am I an irrelevant person?”

Chu Qing said, “Mom, the engagement between Cheng Yue and Lin’er has already been settled, and the ceremony is tomorrow. The invitations have all been sent out, it’s no use saying more now.”

Old Madam Chu cursed directly at Yang Ying, “You wicked woman, are you trying to ruin our Chu Family? I absolutely refuse to agree to this marriage. You must immediately cancel this engagement ceremony!

Lin’er’s wife should at least be from a family of equal social status, a rich family’s daughter on the wealthy list. If not, at least someone like Zhou Jiameng’s daughter, a senior managerial level in the company. Even the daughter of the head of Jiangcheng Energy Bureau is not good enough for Lin’er, let alone a daughter of a soon-to-retire minor director from the energy bureau?”

“As long as I’m here today, I absolutely will not agree to let my precious grandson marry Cheng Yue!”

Yuan Xi frowning at the entrance, lifted her phone to send a message.

Soon, several burly bodyguards in black suits entered and escorted Old Madam Chu out.

Yuan Xi walked next to Yang Ying and gave her mother a soothing pat, “Mom, don’t be too angry, just have the bodyguards chase them away.”

Seeing the bodyguards in black approaching, Old Madam Chu looked incredulously at Yuan Xi, “I am your own grandmother, coming to my son’s home, and you, a granddaughter, dare have bodyguards chase me away? How can you be so unfilial?”

Yuan Xi frowned, “What right do you have to call my mother a wicked woman? When my mom married my dad, our family’s situation was far less than hers; back then, why didn’t you mention ‘a match of equal status’?”

Yuan Xi then comforted Yang Ying, “Mom, the doctor said you need to rest and not get upset…”

Yang Ying clutched her chest, looking at Chu Qing disappointedly, “Xiao Xi is right, when I married you, you were just a greenhorn starting a company. It was because I married into your family that Chuneng became what it is today, and yet now, even past the age of fifty, I still have to put up with your mistreatment!”

Yuan Xi had Nanny Zhang bring over a cup of warm water, which she handed to Yang Ying, “Mom, have some water to calm down.”

Yang Ying drank the water, slowly calming her agitated emotions.

Old Madam Chu, definitely unwilling to be driven away by the bodyguards, threw a tantrum, sitting on the ground and crying about her granddaughter’s unfilial behavior.

Fortunately, the bodyguards hired by Huo Shiyuan were no pushovers. They directly lifted Old Madam Chu from the ground and escorted her outside the Chu Family’s residence.

Chu Qing was extremely distressed.

Yuan Xi said, “Dad, you know mom’s health isn’t good, she can’t handle stress and emotional upheaval.”

Yuan Xi now realized that Chu Lin’s indecisiveness and excessive ‘loyalty and morality’ were traits learned from Chu Qing.

Chu Qing sighed deeply, but ultimately didn’t go outside to see Old Madam Chu, instead comforting Yang Ying, “Don’t be upset; tomorrow’s engagement ceremony is going to be busy.”

Looking around and not seeing Chu Lin, Yuan Xi asked, “Dad, where is Chu Lin?”
