Chapter 390 Request
Sheng Huaian is a person who behaves eccentrically, and there are very few elders whom he cares about and values.
These few respected elders are all key figures who hold the power of life and death.
Jiang Zhiyue has stepped into the circle of power and wealth. Her every word and action will represent the reputation of the Sheng family. Every word she says will inevitably have a direct connection with Jiang Wanrou.
The guests' gazes passed through Jiang Wanrou and fell on her in unison.
Instead of seeing the clichéd scene of the clown duck turning into a white swan, people witnessed how a white swan shines even more brightly.
It actually attracted the attention of both Chu and Xiao's elders at the same time.
After Mr. Chu finished speaking, Mr. Xiao smiled and chatted happily with Mr. Sheng, not forgetting to glance at Jiang Zhiyue.
Jiang Zhiyue responded calmly despite the pressure from several elders: "Grandpa Chu, you are joking."
Old Master Chu couldn't help but shook his head. "It seems that my little grandson Che'er's sincere heart has gone to waste. Old Master Sheng, you may not know that your granddaughter has already bewitched Che'er a long time ago."
"If Jun Yue hadn't taken him and his bedding onto the plane while he was asleep, I'm afraid our two families would have tied the knot and become in-laws long ago."
It is not known whether this is true or not, but with every word Mr. Chu said, Mr. Sheng's expression became uglier.
The cancellation of the marriage between the Sheng and Chu families spread like wildfire. For the sake of Lin Xianer, Mr. Sheng almost wanted to confront the Chu family face to face.
The two families could not become relatives and had long been enemies, but Old Master Chu smiled without any grudge.
It was Chu Junyue who hurried over and called out in a deep voice, "Grandpa."
Only then did Old Master Chu stop joking. When they were young, they were both heirs and competed with each other, like enemies and friends. Ever since they were young, Old Master Chu had looked down on Old Master Sheng's fickle character.
But marriage between aristocratic families is the bond that must bind them together.
Chu Junyue is unwilling to inherit the family business, so he can only become a chess piece in the marriage alliance. The life or death of this chess piece is entirely determined by his own destiny.
Old Master Chu is also a cruel person. Fortunately, Chu Junyue finally gave up those unrealistic fantasies.
"You old man who doesn't keep his word, who wants to marry you?" Grandpa Sheng said bluntly, "Zhiyue, you can just pick the talented young men here, and tell me who you like, and I will be your matchmaker!"
"But remember, anyone can do it, except the kid from the Chu family!"
When one family has a daughter, hundreds of families want her. Several major families were concerned about Jiang Zhiyue's identity as an illegitimate daughter and were not interested in her. However, the more aristocratic families that were slightly inferior to the Sheng family all set their sights on her.
In the second half, Jiang Zhiyue was dazzled by all the handsome men. She stayed by Jiang Wanrou's side all the time, and there were always people coming up to talk to her.
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't avoid it, Jiang Wanrou gently held her hand, "Mr. Sheng is right."
Jiang Wanrou always found it difficult to call Jiang Zhiyue "father", but she didn't want Jiang Zhiyue to miss the opportunity. It was because of the suffering in the first half of her life that she understood the true meaning of life more.
Fighting alone is hard, and it is precious to find a close partner to support you.
Jiang Wanrou hopes that Jiang Zhiyue can love bravely and express herself without scruples like other children of her age, and that she should not waste her precious youth on her.
"Life is an experience, you have to experience it." Worried that Jiang Zhiyue would be disgusted, Jiang Wanrou spoke slowly in a slow tone.
Jiang Zhiyue smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Wanrou held her hand tighter and asked softly, "That Young Master Mu..."
Jiang Zhiyue's scalp suddenly tingled and she wanted to skip the topic directly.
Unexpectedly, I felt a gentle breeze brushing past my ears, and even the air around me was filled with a rich and fragrant aroma of wine the moment I raised my eyes.
The man held two glasses of champagne in a gentlemanly manner, smiled happily, and said in a joking tone, "I'm so happy that my mother-in-law still remembers my name."
A charming atmosphere immediately spread out, and Mu Liansheng was born with an evil and lustful aura.
A pair of extremely narrow and long eyes with the corners of the eyes hooked upwards, looking like a fox from a distance and peach blossoms up close, charming and dangerous.
He gently pressed the champagne in his hand into Jiang Zhiyue's hand with a gesture that did not allow for rejection. If Jiang Zhiyue retreated a little, the wine would instantly spill and soak her clothes.
The dreamy purple satin softly covers the girl's delicate body, and under the reflection of the light, her icy skin and delicate bones are more prominent. Her silky black long hair just covers a small section of jade-white behind her neck.
The gown was conservative in design but hugged her body curves beautifully.
When their fingertips touched, the man's slightly protruding Adam's apple seemed to roll sexily. Mu Liansheng's skin was very white, so white that you could almost see the meridians underneath.
The muscles in his neck rose and fell rhythmically with his breathing, and his big palm just wrapped around the girl's small hand. He held her with irresistible force.
"Zhiyue."
He called her name, and his breath was like an invisible thread that suddenly wrapped around her neck and tightened.
Jiang Zhiyue tried to break free, but because Jiang Wanrou was right next to her, she didn't want others to notice anything unusual.
"Mu Liansheng." She could only whisper, "You should know the situation when you are sick."
"You are really different now. You can even call me by my full name now." Mu Liansheng suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Listen to me again. Don't forget what I promised you."
"It is not a wise move to offend me now. Our Miss Sheng, who just returned home, is still in an unstable position."
He has an elegant posture and his seemingly friendly eyes actually contain deep meaning, just like a beautiful snake.
He gestured to Jiang Zhiyue to turn around and look, but Jiang Zhiyue ignored him until her name was suddenly heard from not far away.
Sheng Huaian followed Grandpa Sheng. The elders from both the Xiao and Chu families were there, and they were still chatting about something.
Xiao Jingrun and Chu Junyue's eyes collided, separated only by the elder in front of them. Xiao Jingrun's eyes were indifferent and he had a businesslike smile on his face.
Chu Junyue raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly, with a hint of hostility in his ambiguous eyes.
On this side, everyone was attracted by the serious voice of Mr. Chu, "I am old, taking advantage of this festive day, Mr. Sheng, whether you are willing or not, let the young people speak out their hearts."
"Junyue, it's your turn to speak now."
say what?
Everyone's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
Especially Lin Xian'er, who, after being reminded by someone, hurried over and waved her hands desperately as if trying to stop something.
But she still couldn't stop him. The man opened his thin lips and spoke without hesitation and firmly, "Master Sheng, I ask to marry Zhiyue."
