Chu Xining nodded vigorously, and then, fearing that the old man wouldn't believe him and would cause trouble, he quickly raised his right hand and said seriously, "I swear!"

Seeing that Old Man Chu was still suspicious, Chu Xining played the victim again, putting on a bitter expression and said, "In order for me to protect Lan Ziye at school, my brother taught me a lot! Grandpa, you know my brother never showed mercy when teaching me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Doctor Li, he treated my injuries!"

"This seems like something Xixuan would do!" Old Master Chu looked at Chu Xixuan with sympathy and pondered.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Chu's face twisted into a ball again, and he asked in confusion, "Then why was he so disgusted when I told that kid to marry Lan Ziye and even hung up on me?"

"What? You want my brother to marry into the Lan family!" This time Chu Xining lost his balance and stumbled and fell down.

Getting up, Chu Xining said in disbelief, "Haven't you always hoped for a marriage between the Chu and Jin families? Isn't Jin Ruoxi the granddaughter-in-law you chose?" He thought there would be something interesting to watch? Now it's over. ←_←

"If the girl from the Lan family doesn't show up, the girl from the Jin family is naturally the best choice. But once the girl from the Lan family shows up, the girl from the Jin family can't compare!" Old Master Chu pondered for a moment before suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at Chu Xining and said, "By the way, boy, what do you think of Jin Ruoxi?"

Chu Xining was stunned for a moment. Was he shooting himself in the foot? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have said anything more!

"Um... Grandpa, I'm still young. You should solve my eldest brother's problem first, and then consider me, right?" Chu Xining said with a playful smile.

Even if he can't get a wife, he won't marry that white lotus! ╭(╯^╰)╮

"Alas! Our Chu family and the Jin family have always been on good terms, and I watched Jin Ruoxi grow up. Apart from Jin Ruoxi, I'm afraid no other girl can be worthy of you. You should think about it carefully. If you think it's okay, get married as soon as possible! There are not many outstanding girls from aristocratic families!" Old Master Chu said earnestly.

"Grandpa, my knee hurts so much from the fall I just had. I want to see Doctor Li. Please sit down for a moment while I go find Doctor Li!" Chu Xining said as he hurried out of the room. If he continued chatting with Grandpa, Jin Ruoxi would really hit him in the face! (?_?)

Old Master Chu looked at his second grandson with a depressed look on his face. How could he run so fast with such knee pain?

In Lan Ziye's room in a suburban villa, she was engrossed in a book when the phone rang. She picked up the phone and it was Wu Xuzi's voice. Another business call! (☆?☆)

Lan Ziye immediately perked up and asked, "What kind of work?"

Wu Xuzi was a little embarrassed to speak, "It's not about life, it's... I need your help!"

Lan Ziye smiled cheerfully and said, "We've been working together for so long, and when I first came to Lanxuan City, I was grateful for your care. Your business is my business, so go ahead!"

"Well..." Wu Xuzi said, still a little embarrassed. "It's like this. A cousin of mine adopted a child a while ago. There's something strange about the child, so I'd like you to take a look. However, my cousin and her husband are both ordinary working-class people and can't afford such a high salary. So I thought, I'll pay the fee, and you might ask me to lower the price for our long-standing friendship!"
