Chapter 47
Madam Fan simply smiled faintly, "We'll arrive in Jiangyou soon. Chu...Ci, have you ever considered staying here?"
Hadn't the old lady always looked down on her unconventionality? However, one of the principles of communicating with the elderly was to avoid arguments. She smiled and replied, "Yazhou is a good place."
Looking at Chu Ci, who was feigning confusion, Mrs. Fan shook her head helplessly and made her point clear. "What I mean is that you stay and live a good life with Rui Ge'er."
It seemed that the Fan family already knew about her agreement with Fan Jingrui, but she hadn't thought of hiding it. "Why?"
"Of course Rui'er has feelings for you." The words lingered on his lips, then he swallowed them back. It seemed a bit unfair to make such an agreement without any feelings, and then let the girl stay if there were feelings. "After spending so much time together, you don't have any feelings for Rui'er at all?"
In Mrs. Fan's eyes, Fan Jingrui was knowledgeable, talented, and handsome. Even though Chu Ci was different from ordinary women, she should have been a little moved.
Seeing the old lady's words reaching this point, Chu Ci readily admitted, "Fan Jingrui's appearance perfectly meets my aesthetic standards."
As soon as Chu Ci said this, the old lady felt that there was something going on. Just as she was about to persuade him again, Chu Ci continued, "But I am stingy and selfish. What belongs to me is only mine, especially my husband. I can never share it with others."
Although the Fan family has a good family tradition, they still cannot eliminate concubines.
The word "but" in Chu Ci was like a basin of cold water, pouring heavily on Mrs. Fan's heart.
Old Madam Fan knew Chu Ci was different and was trying to accept her. But what if Chu Ci couldn't give birth to a son? Would she be left without grandchildren? "I..."
Mrs. Fan couldn't bring herself to say anything against her will, but she also understood her grandson's temperament. This matter was a bit of a challenge.
Old Mrs. Fan was even more worried now. She wanted to persuade Chu Ci, but when she thought about how she had been living in fear all these years, she realized that although the road of exile was a little hard and tiring, it was also the most comfortable time in her life.
Mrs. Fan couldn't bring herself to say anything against her will, and she also understood her eldest grandson's temperament. He wouldn't give up unless she stopped him. Sigh, this matter was a bit of a hassle.
Old Mrs. Fan was worried and wanted to persuade Chu Ci, but when she thought about how cautious she had been living all these years, she realized that although the road of exile was hard and tiring, it was the most comfortable time in her life.
All of this was thanks to Chu Ci, so I felt a little guilty.
Chu Ci was incredibly grateful that he had traveled to the Fan family. If it were the Chu family, they would probably squeeze him dry. Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt even more fortunate. "Grandma, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Perhaps Fan Jingrui would be happy with this?"
"What my granddaughter-in-law said makes sense. One generation should not interfere in the affairs of two generations. Let the children solve their own problems." While Mrs. Fan was still struggling, Mr. Fan couldn't wait to refute his wife.
Old Mrs. Fan was angry, but out of habit she did not say anything in rebuttal.
This caused Mr. Fan to misunderstand. "If Rui Ge'er agrees, Grandpa will ask him to write a letter of guarantee for you, and the whole family will sign it. If one day Rui Ge'er changes his mind, you can use this letter to sue him for marriage fraud."
When Mr. Fan said this, Mrs. Fan almost couldn't breathe.
Chu Ci didn't want to make the old lady so angry that she passed out, so he hurried to help her calm down. Fortunately, Mrs. Fan also had experience in this area and quickly adjusted her breathing to Chu Ci's rhythm.
The old man finally realized he had gotten into trouble, but he didn't know where he had gone wrong. He could only mumble, "Madam," and didn't know how to continue.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and secretly sighed in his heart that the old lady's life was really not easy.
But even though she felt sympathy, she would not back down: "Grandma, Grandpa is exaggerating. If it doesn't work out, just give me a divorce letter."
Old Madam Fan closed her eyes, clearly giving up on trying to reason with the two men. "Brother Rui can't be childless."
This was the old lady's final line. But it left Chu Ci speechless: "Grandma, what is your name?"
Old Lady Fan didn't understand how this related to her last name, but she still replied, "I am the daughter of Wang from Bingzhou."
"The Wang family of Bingzhou is a very big family. But there is no place for you. And in the Fan family, your name is just Fan Wangshi. Then who will remember you, a living person?" Chu Ci stared into the eyes of Mrs. Fan, as if asking this question could reach her heart.
"The Wang family of Bingzhou is indeed a large family. But there is no place for you there. And in the Fan family, your name is just Fan Wangshi. Who will remember you, a living person?"
Chu Ci stared closely at Mrs. Fan's eyes, as if he wanted to explore the depths of her heart through her eyes.
As expected, the old lady was stunned for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Chu Ci, this is the way of the world. With the power of you and me, it is difficult to shake it."
So she chose to accept her fate and even became a follower and guardian of the rules.
This is exactly what Chu Ci cannot tolerate. "However, we can still make a choice. I choose not to wrong myself. As for the rest, it is not within my consideration."
Seeing that Old Lady Fan was wavering, Chu Ci pulled her sleeve coquettishly and said, "Grandma, why should women embarrass women? Isn't it good for us to help each other?"
"I'm a little confused, please let me think about it." At this moment, it seemed as if there were two villains arguing in Mrs. Fan's mind. One agreed that what Chu Ci said was very reasonable, and the other denounced Chu Ci's words as pure heresy. The moral principles of the world have been like this since ancient times and cannot be questioned.
Chu Ci didn't rush him. After all, a change in thinking doesn't happen overnight. He said to Mr. Fan beside him, "Grandpa, I'm going outside to get some fresh air."
But when I opened the car curtain, a thunderclap sounded. The rain was getting heavier...
Chuci: It was a wrong decision.
"Grandpa, can I talk to you?" In this atmosphere, awkward conversation is better than silence.
The old man's attitude was good, "What does granddaughter-in-law want to talk about?"
This really stumped Chu Ci. There really wasn't much to talk about between her and the old man. "Well, I suddenly remembered that my eldest sister asked me to go find her around noon this morning. Grandpa, I'll go over first."
"Go ahead, you don't have to worry about us. Brother Rui will come." Old Master Fan inadvertently "sold" Fan Jingrui again.
Chu Ci pretended not to know and thanked him with a smile: "Okay, Grandpa."
