Chapter 391 Choice
They were all stunned for a moment.
Jiang Zhiyue looked back and saw Chu Junyue with his back to her. His back was very straight, and no matter when he was standing, his spine was always upright.
I couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment, I could only hear his low voice.
Although it was a marriage proposal, the overwhelming feeling of oppression overwhelmed Mr. Sheng.
Old Master Sheng looked at the young but majestic man in front of him. The epaulettes on his uniform were dazzlingly bright.
Those determined and bright eyes are like two sharp blades that can break through any difficulties.
Half of the guests in the banquet hall looked over and covered their mouths in surprise.
“This is simply nonsense! Your Chu family—” Old Master Sheng frowned, his face ashen.
He was actually intimidated by Chu Junyue's aura for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hurried to get back at them.
"This is really too much! What kind of thing is this? You just broke off the engagement, and now you're asking for marriage again?"
Mr. Sheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He felt that the Chu family's behavior was unreasonable. How would Lin Xian'er deal with this in the future? The whole world knew that she was abandoned and her designated fiancé had fallen in love with someone else?
"Chu Junyue, you--" Old Master Sheng covered his chest and breathed rapidly, "I chose you for Xian'er with all my heart, and I thought you were her perfect match, different from those playboys. You are deliberately trying to make trouble for an eighty-year-old man like me!"
"And you, old bastard—" Grandpa Sheng pointed at Grandpa Chu, "You were annoying when you were young, and you're still annoying now that you're an old man. It's not your turn to stir up trouble in the affairs of the younger generation. I'm already this old, don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
Old Master Chu laughed heartily and patted Chu Junyue on the shoulder, indicating that he had done his best.
This was indeed not fair. Both the Sheng and Lin families were well-known figures. Lin Xian'er was loved by the elders of both families, and no one could bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Old Master Sheng is a biased person, how could he allow Jiang Zhiyue, who just returned home, to overshadow Lin Xianer?
It was obvious that this matter had no chance, but the man raised his thin lips and said solemnly, "I love Zhiyue. She is the only one who can make my heart beat fast in this life. I only want her to be my wife."
The voice is open and frank.
Chu Junyue's style of doing things was worthy of his uniform. His eyes fell on Mr. Sheng's face without giving in.
"You have no right to make choices for her."
The sharp gaze directed at Mr. Sheng seemed like he was not talking to Mr. Sheng as an heir, but more like the head of the younger generation of the family.
"You kid, do you want to force a marriage?" Old Master Sheng was so angry that he had difficulty breathing. Sheng Huaian walked over lazily with his hands in his pockets.
"Jun Yue, my grandfather is not in good health to begin with. If you make him angry and he has a heart attack, that would be terrible. If something happens to him, Zhiyue will have to mourn for him for three years."
Sheng Huaian's speech was not pleasant to the ear, but every word he said was to the point.
He and Chu Junyue looked at each other for a second, with a half-smile on their faces.
"You want to marry my sister? Fine."
He glanced around, passing over the man's handsome face with a rather nonchalant look.
"Why don't you deal with Chu Xiao's problem first? You Chu family knows what he did in the hunting ground. Otherwise, if Zhiyue marries you, I can't imagine what kind of nightmare she will experience in the future."
The light swept across the direction the man was walking, and the guests he passed by respectfully made way for him.
Sheng Huaian's behavior was erratic, and his relationship with the Sheng family was not that close. Lin Xian'er tried to be friendly with him, and they used to interact actively on LINS, but he couldn't stand it and directly deleted and blocked her.
In the past, he never attended any banquets held by the Sheng family, big or small, using the excuse of living abroad.
If you want to know any clues about Sheng Huaian, you can only look at the gossip reports. It is said that this guy's favorite thing to do is to hang out in places with bright lights and wine, and he often sits idle and likes the photos of some small internet celebrities on LINS.
At one point, there were rumors that he had affairs with several internet celebrities with millions of fans, which triggered a series of quarrels among the internet celebrity circles. There was even a young star who had just debuted and flew to his country specifically in the hope of meeting him by chance.
Over the years, I have never seen him really date anyone, nor have I seen Sheng Huaian publicly defend anyone.
As he spoke, his eyes had already fallen on Jiang Zhiyue and he waved for her to come over.
Sheng Huaian held the girl's hand, and the small hand was completely wrapped in his big palm. The sharp contrast in skin color made her look very safe.
"You heard everything just now. Tell your brother what you think."
His face had a frank expression, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with holding Jiang Zhiyue's hand in public. Even if someone was watching him, his concerned eyes seemed to be just the care of a brother for his sister.
Sheng Huaian really took good care of his sister who had returned halfway. His father was seriously ill and might pass away at any time. In Sheng Huaian's view, his only aunt and her daughter naturally became the people he cared about the most.
This action fell into Chu Junyue's eyes, and there was a dim and unclear look in his eyes.
Sheng Huaian smiled and patted the girl's hand. "If you don't want to say it, then you are not satisfied. It doesn't matter. There is still a long time to live, and you will always choose one that you are satisfied with."
He didn't even give Jiang Zhiyue a chance to speak. Jiang Zhiyue faced several gazes head-on, and knew that in this situation, she would offend people if she wasn't careful.
She could feel that there was a hint of expectation in Chu Junyue's eyes. Jiang Zhiyue did not want to embarrass him. After all, he had done so much for her.
But he had just broken off his engagement with Lin Xian'er not long ago. If he went to find her now, he would inevitably end up in a farce of two women fighting for one man.
Jiang Zhiyue lowered her eyes. The winding red carpet seemed to have no end in sight. In her field of vision, a pair of exquisite black handmade leather shoes slowly stepped into her sight and approached her.
There were also voices trying to persuade him to stay, "A Si, don't..."
Bai Yanzhu wanted to grab his arm, but she only grabbed air and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
A few steps away, her desperate tears choked in her throat.
Jiang Zhiyue looked up suddenly and met those eyes that were filled with hidden resentment.
Chu Junyue on the opposite side was also looking at her, with an unfathomable darkness in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiyue made a decision in an instant, "No..."
She suddenly spoke, and Sheng Huaian was stunned. Lin Xian'er, who came hurriedly, almost gouged her flesh out with her eyes.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at Chu Junyue, and Chu Junyue also looked at her.
The burning gaze had already engulfed her.
But he did nothing, still standing there quietly, then slowly extended his hand towards Jiang Zhiyue.
This was a silent invitation, inviting her to come to his side.
At such a close distance, Jiang Zhiyue took another step forward and made a choice.
She clenched her hands hanging at her sides and looked up at the man again. At this moment, another big hand grabbed her wrist.
