"I don't want to!" Chu Xining said firmly.

The Chu family's Patriarch said helplessly, "Okay, Jin Ruoxi isn't your type. Then tell me what type you like?"

Chu Xining thought for a moment and said, "She should be a little dumber, not too scheming, and someone who is consistent in what she says and does. Jin Ruoxi's scheming is too much for me. She says one thing in public and another behind the scenes, and I can't stand it!"

"It's wrong for you to say that about Ruoxi! Ruoxi is just being sensible!" said the head of the Chu family unhappily.

After a pause, he continued, "However, it's better to keep things simple. At least it can reduce a lot of family conflicts. This... Grandpa will help you keep an eye on it!"

"Grandpa, what are you doing? I'm still young!" Chu Xining instantly became alert and asked, "Isn't it too early to pay attention now?"

"Silly boy, do you know why aristocratic families arrange marriages so early? Settling marriages at the age of fifteen or sixteen? It's too late, the good ones have been picked up! Even if you are the second son of the Chu family, you can't steal someone else's wife, right?" The head of the Chu family said earnestly.

Chu Xining: ...Okay! Big brother has been taken care of, now it's his turn to suffer. (ー_ー)!!

"There's one more condition!" Chu Xining thought for a moment and said, "My wife must be good at fighting, and she must be better than Lan Ziye. I'm often beaten by my brother, so I can't find a wife who can't be Lan Ziye's opponent, right?"

The Chu family's Patriarch was stunned and said, "That's difficult. Lan Ziye is far more powerful than you think. I've tested her and her strength is not inferior to your brother's. I also heard that even Meng Er was crippled by her in this league. Do you think there is a girl more powerful than Lan Ziye in the entire Lanxuan City?"

Chu Xining: ...Why does he feel such deep despair?

Was he born to be abused? Where is justice? (???︿???)

"Even if he is not as powerful as Lan Ziye, he must at least have a single-attribute spiritual power like Lan Ziye, and cannot be much worse than Lan Ziye!" Chu Xining said again.

"Single-attribute spiritual power?" The Chu family's patriarch frowned and counted, "None of the Jin family's daughters have single-attribute spiritual power, nor do the Meng family, and certainly not the Zhu family. The Lan family's only legitimate daughter has already been taken by your eldest brother. Boy, you're not thinking of finding a commoner or a concubine's daughter, are you?"

"So what if she's a commoner and a concubine's daughter? As long as she can protect me, I'll marry her. I don't plan to be the head of the family anyway!" Chu Xining said angrily.

"Okay! You can make your own decision about your own affairs! Grandpa won't interfere for now!" After saying that, the head of the Chu family sighed, shook his head and walked out of Chu Xining's room.

What a sin! What has this kid become because of his brother? (???????)

It wasn't until the car drove a long distance away from the Chu family that Jin Ruoxi's heart calmed down a little. She glanced at Chu Yu and said disdainfully, "It seems that in Grandpa Chu's mind, you are not that important. You are not even as important as an outsider like me!"

Chu Yu's eyes widened. She hadn't provoked her today, so why would she criticize her?

"Why are you staring at me? Don't think that you can marry into the Chu family smoothly just because Lan Ziye is engaged to your eldest brother. We have a long way to go! Don't think that it's too late for you to curry favor with Lan Ziye now. Don't forget, your lackey is still living in the hospital! Lan Ziye is a vengeful person. If she really becomes the wife of the head of the Chu family, don't even think about going back to the Chu family, let alone marrying into the Su family!" Jin Ruoxi said viciously.
