Shen Bei'an looked at the siblings. Chu Xiao was clearly an innocent young man, with the pride unique to youth, while Chu Li was the epitome of a successful person, exuding an aura simply by standing there.
"Brother Xiao." Chu Li nudged Chu Xiao. Not bowing to an elder was a major taboo in the capital.
Although Chu Xiao is a bit naive and innocent, it must be said that he does listen to his elders very much, except when it comes to Tang Ruowei.
He bowed respectfully, "Young Master, Fifth Master Chen." He was about to say something when Chu Li's stern gaze stopped him, and he dared not utter another word.
"It's a bother to see Young Master Chang and Master Shen here. I apologize for disturbing your enjoyment with the matter concerning the two young masters of the Tang family." Chu Li bowed slightly, her voice respectful and polite.
Logically speaking, it seems that Chu Li and Xie Yunyu have absolutely no connection with Tang Ruowei.
However, everyone in the capital knew that the heir of the Chu family was engaged to the second young master of the Tang family, so Chu Li could be considered their sister-in-law.
“It’s alright,” Gu Nanyan stepped forward and took Shen Bei’an’s hand, gently stroking it to comfort him. “Young Master Chu, although Young Master Chu will not be of legal age for another two years, we should still finalize the marriage proposal as soon as possible, so as not to delay the beautiful couple’s marriage.”
A voice as cold as snow, yet as gentle as a spring breeze.
"What the eldest son says is absolutely right. We will discuss this with my grandmother, uncles, and others back home." Chu Li nodded. If Chu Xiao was not a good match for Xie Yunyu, then Tang Ruowei was also not a suitable candidate for the Chu family. If they wanted to continue the marriage agreement between the Chu and Tang families, then they would have no choice but to have a daughter of the Chu family marry into the Tang family.
But that seems impossible.
The Chu family has four direct descendants in this generation: one son and one daughter from the eldest and second branches.
Of course, it was impossible for her. Although she was not much different from Tang Ruozheng, she was the eldest son of the second wife and would not marry unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, one of the important reasons for her attending the event today was to find a suitable marriage partner.
As for Chu Hua, he is even less of a match for Tang Ruozheng.
If this generation doesn't have a marriage agreement, then it will probably have to continue to the next generation.
Therefore, the best solution is for Xie Yunyu and Chu Xiao's engagement to continue.
However, it now seems that what the eldest son said was not unfounded; Xiao Ge'er is indeed not a good match for Xie Yunyu.
Even though this Second Young Master Tang grew up outside of Beijing.
Chu Xiao stood anxiously to the side, wanting to speak, but was stopped by Chu Li.
Tang Ruowei stood there, head down, her delicate and beautiful face visibly pale, her eyes narrowed as if she were deliberately suppressing feelings of grievance.
Xie Yunyu stood there, her gaze fixed on Gu Nanyan from the moment she arrived.
Those burning gazes were impossible to ignore.
Everyone present felt it, but the other party involved turned a blind eye.
She has changed so much, no wonder I couldn't tell when we first met.
Xie Yunyu stared straight at her. She hadn't heard a word of what Chu Li and the others had said, or rather, she hadn't paid any attention to anyone except Gu Nanyan.
Although Tang Ruowei had her head down, she still noticed Xie Yunyu's unusual behavior.
Do you know Xie Yunyu and the eldest son?
Shen Bei'an was even more puzzled. The female lead had an official partner, who was his own nephew, and the person she was eyeing was his wife!
"Ahem." Shen Bei'an was being led by Gu Nan'an, so he tugged at her and gestured with his eyes, "He's been staring at you for a while, why don't you acknowledge him?"
