"Child, you can have children, but only after I give birth to my eldest son. You can continue to manage the business, but grandma said that I must be the owner of the business. Do you have any objection to this, Young Marshal?"
Of course Chu Shaoting has no objection!
Anyway, he never cared about the business of the company. He didn't care in whose name it was or who managed it. He even wanted to nod his head right now.
"If you all have no objections, in two months, our Chu family will marry Miss Chu Xi with great fanfare."
"no!"
Chu Xi almost screamed, and for a moment even her face looked a little distorted.
If she had entered the house with such grandeur, even if she had been a concubine, Chu Shaoting would not have felt that she had suffered any injustice given his status. Instead, it would have been Lin Chunhuan, the bitch, who had to endure the humiliation.
How can this be?
If this is the case, it would be extremely difficult for her mission to move forward.
The words of refusal came out subconsciously. The extreme silence brought Chu Xi back to her senses. She then realized that everyone else was staring at her with strange and confused looks.
Lin Chunhuan sneered in her heart, but her face was stunned, and her smile was a little bitter, "Miss Chu Xi, do you have to wait until Shao Ting kicks me out before you will give up?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Chu Xi quickly shook her head and adjusted her expression. In the blink of an eye, she looked like she was about to cry again. "I know that grandma looks down on me, and she doesn't want Huihui to have to compromise because of me."
"More importantly, I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Chu Xi raised her head and met Chu Shaoting's eyes. "Shaoting, what happened back then is known to everyone in the city. If you were to marry me now, I don't know how many people would laugh at you. I..."
Before she could finish her words, Chu Xi's tears were already flowing like water, and her body was shaking as if she couldn't control herself.
In the past, if someone mentioned that incident in front of the old lady, she would definitely be furious.
At that time, let alone letting Chu Xifeng enter the Chu family with honor, even if she was allowed to be an insignificant little thing beside Chu Shaoting, the old lady might not agree.
Chu Xi felt that he had already grasped the old lady's thoughts, and this trick had never failed in the past few years.
Every time when the two seemed to be about to overcome all obstacles and achieve their goal, someone would bring up what happened in the past in front of the old lady, and then the two would be forced to stay away from each other.
However, this kind of distance not only did not reduce Chu Shaoting's feelings in the slightest, but instead slowly formed an obsession.
It was as if Chu Xi was indispensable to his world.
Chu Xi had used this method many times in previous missions and had already mastered it.
But when she looked up at the old lady, her body froze.
The old lady looked indifferent, but one could see strong disgust between her brows. However, surprisingly, she didn't say a word of objection today.
"So, Miss Chu Xi is unwilling to enter the Chu family."
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and looked at Chu Shaoting with an apologetic look in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't do well enough to satisfy Miss Chu Xi."
"But I really can't give up my identity as Mrs. Chu." Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath. Although she was smiling, her eyes were crystal clear. The knuckles of her crossed hands were white, as if she was enduring a great grievance.
Lin Chunhuan lowered his head, "Young Marshal, I'm sorry..."
"This is none of your business."
Chu Shaoting couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. He could feel that Lin Chunhuan was thinking about Chu Xi in every way, but the latter still refused for one reason or another.
Perhaps just as Lin Chunhuan said, deep down in her heart, Chu Xi simply didn't want to follow him.
The Buddhist beads lingered on his fingertips. That was something Mother Chu often used when she was alive, and Chu Shaoting always kept it with her.
At this moment, the Buddhist beads were spinning rapidly. Anyone who knew Chu Shaoting a little bit could see that he was in a very bad mood. "Chu Xi, is it really like Huihui said?"
"You keep saying you love me, but you don't actually want to marry me."
"Or rather, what you've always been thinking about is the position of Mrs. Chu." Chu Shaoting stood up and looked down at Chu Xi in front of him, with an inquiring look full of oppression. "You said you only wanted to be with me, and you didn't care about status, and you didn't care about other people's gossip."
"You're all lying to me, aren't you?"
Chu Xi subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but her jaw was pinched hard by Chu Shaoting, and she couldn't move at all.
It was just a moment of hesitation, but Chu Xi had already realized that if she continued at this pace, her plan to enter the Chu family would be in vain.
After all, who would believe that she wanted to enter the Chu family with a wronged attitude so as to gain Chu Shaoting's guilt and heartache. She didn't want any of the glory at all.
No one will believe it!
Even if she continued to refuse, even Chu Shaoting would think that she just wanted more.
By then, let alone entering the Chu family, even the feelings Chu Shaoting had accumulated for her over the years would probably be mostly gone.
But Chu Shaoting can find another opportunity to cultivate his feelings. Is it okay not to join the Chu family at this time?
Chu Xi pursed her lips. She already knew that Yu En was captured by Qin Song. Until now, there was no news about Yu En. He was most likely dead.
With Qin Song's temper, he didn't even let Yu En go, so how could he let her go?
If she died in the mission world, she would really die. Although she had some means of saving her life after years of accumulation, the loss would still be huge.
Chu Xi would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Even you don't believe me?" Chu Xi said softly, then sniffed and turned her head away with disappointment, not looking at Chu Shaoting. "Okay, in that case, let's do as you say."
"Anyway, as long as I can stay with Shao Ting, I don't care about anything else."
Hearing this, Chu Shaoting was slightly stunned.
Could it be that I am really overthinking it?
However, Lin Chunhuan did not give Chu Shaoting a chance to continue thinking deeply, and immediately walked to the old lady, "In this case, grandma, let Miss Chu Xi live at home for the time being."
"It's better not to show up in public before the banquet."
The old lady sighed deeply, held Lin Chunhuan's hands and patted them gently, "It's fine anyway, but I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, Huihui."
"Not aggrieved."
Lin Chunhuan smiled resolutely, but no one could ignore the tears in the corners of her eyes. "Since the young marshal has someone in his heart, I can't be so selfish and tie him to my side."
"One person's unhappiness is better than three people's unhappiness, what do you think, Marshal?"
