Chapter 106: Actors in the Republic of China (14)



Chu Shishan and his wife quickly returned to the Chu family.

He sat in the main seat in the hall and said to his wife, "What do you think about Xiao'er's matter?"

Mrs. Chu put down her teacup in distress and shook her head: "What else can I do? I'm at a loss."

Chu Shishan thought for a while and said, "Her reputation is ruined. It will be difficult for her to find a good family. It would be better for her to marry Huang Qiu... The Huang family is well-off and will not let her down."

"This..." Mrs. Chu hesitated.

It's not that she hasn't heard of Huang Qiu. Although he is a handsome man, he is extremely lustful. Chu Xiaoer will definitely not have a good life if she marries him.

But on second thought, the current situation...

She might not live a good life no matter which family she marries into, so it would be better for her to find a rich one.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu came to her senses: "I'll go call Xiao'er."

"Yeah." Chu Shishan nodded heavily.

Mrs. Chu was gone for a while, then she called Chu Xiaoer, who was doing nothing in the room, over.

Chu Xiaoer was in awe of Chu Shishan and asked politely, "Dad, why did you ask me to come?"

"Xiao'er, you are aware of your current situation, so I will just be frank with you." Chu Shishan said and paused.

This meal made Chu Xiaoer feel uneasy.

"You said..."

"Dad wants you to marry Huang Qiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiaoer's eyes widened in horror.

"Dad... I... didn't you tell me to marry Mr. Jin in the future? Why... I don't! I don't want to marry him, I like Shujin!" She screamed hysterically.

"That's enough. You think you can yell Master Jin's name? Don't you know what your situation is? You're lucky to be able to marry Huang Qiu!" Chu Shishan was dissatisfied and his voice became stern. "Go back. I'm just informing you. You should prepare to get married."

"I..."

It was no use for Chu Xiaoer to say anything, and she was half-forced by the servants back to her boudoir.

Because of this incident, she had a fight, refused to eat or drink, and even made herself sick, so Chu Shishan's plan had to be delayed.

We can't let her get married while she's sick, right?

Qu Lingyuan rolled her eyes when she found out. It seemed like Huang Qiu also had to put the plan on the agenda.

It's a pity that the skill has to cool down for seven days...

She lay on the bed helplessly.

——

Seven days later, Qu Lingyuan found Huang Qiu's location through Yi Ling again.

She went out onto the street carrying a small leather bag and casually threw it at Huang Qiu's feet.

"Ah." She exclaimed softly.

Huang Qiu has always been very attentive to beautiful women. He bent down to help her pick it up and handed it to her very gentlemanly.

"Thank you~"

When he met Qu Lingyuan's misty eyes, he felt a little dizzy for a moment. When he reacted, the beauty was no longer in the crowd.

He pressed his temples and returned to the Huang family and called his father.

"Dad, do you still remember what happened on the Chinese Valentine's Day?" Huang Qiu's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"I remember. What's wrong?" Boss Huang looked at his son and felt something was wrong.

Huang Qiu paused and said, "I want to marry Chu Xiaoer."

"Oh," Boss Huang thought it was a big deal, so serious, "Okay, I'll go to the Chu family to propose marriage in a few days."

Chu Shishan was just thinking about how to marry off his daughter when he received the Huang family's proposal. It was like someone offering a pillow to him when he was dozing off, so he quickly agreed.

Chu Xiaoer had just recovered from her illness when she suffered another blow. Her usually bright little face became pale and thin, and lifeless.

Unwilling to get married like this, she sent someone to secretly go to the street to inquire about Huang Qiu's character.

After getting the news, he found that Huang Qiu was no better than the stupid son of the merchant family that Chu Yin married.

The only difference is that Huang Qiu still appears to be a gentleman.

This couldn't happen... She couldn't give up the struggle like this.

Chu Xiaoer hurriedly changed her clothes, lowered her head and covered her face with her short hair, and walked towards Shu's house.

She found Shujin on the garden path.

"Mr. Jin..."

Her soft voice reached Shujin's ears, causing deep furrows to form on Shujin's delicate brows.

"Why are you here again?" Shu Jin became irritated when he saw her, and spoke in an impatient tone.

"I...my father wants me to get married..." Chu Xiaoer sounded like she was trying to hold back her tears.

"Oh, congratulations." Shu Jin said lightly with an expressionless face and was about to leave.

Chu Xiaoer was anxious and chased after him, shouting, "Master Jin! Do you know that the man my father made me marry is almost the same character as the man my sister married! My sister died tragically, and I... I don't want to... Please, I have no other request, just please don't let me marry Huang Qiu!"

A few dense trees beside the path obscured Qu Lingyuan who was standing there quietly.

When she went out, she stopped by to see Lin Shuangxue. As soon as she walked out of Lin Shuangxue's room, she saw Chu Xiaoer running over and pestering Shujin.

It can be considered a bad fate.

She remained calm and wanted to see how Shujin would respond.

When Shu Jin heard Chu Xiaoer mention Chu Yin, he stopped in his tracks.

The scene of Chu Yin committing suicide flashed through his mind.

As Qu Lingyuan walked into his heart, he had already realized that his feelings for Chu Yin had disappeared, but that scene was still so glaringly engraved in his memory.

Shu Jin lowered his eyelids. Chu Xiaoer's request didn't seem too excessive.

"Okay, I'll help you this time, but from now on, we're even. I won't say a word to you anymore, and you'd better stay away from me."
