Chapter 668 - Why Dont You Come to Take Me Away? (2/2)

They could pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the Qi family could not. However, recently, it was said that Qin Zongheng had become a Saint and then Chu Xuanyue’s identity and status rose. Qi Yulong was standing next to her. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to express it too directly.

“President Chu, there’s something you don’t know…”

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xuanyue waved her hand and interrupted his speech. “I really don’t know much about this matter and I don’t want to know. I only know that if a woman is forced to marry someone she doesn’t like, it will bring a lifetime of bad luck.

“I just saw that Waner looked so pitiful and it is such a waste. That’s why I became emotional.”

Speaking of this, a bitterness that was difficult to hide appeared on her face. She was the only one who knew how much she had suffered during all these years.

Qi Waner was very surprised. She did not expect that someone would speak up for her. Although she had lived in the capital for so many years, she had been busy treating diseases. Usually, she did not go out and did not know who Chu Xuanyue was. Furthermore, she did not know that Chu Xuanyue was her lover’s mother, her future mother-in-law.

It seemed that the Zhao family were most dissatisfied with Chu Xuanyue’s words. Zhao Cangqiong’s face was so cold that it seemed to be dripping with water.

How could she be considered as pitiful? How could it be a pity? Was his grandson not worthy of the woman from the Qi family?

“President Chu, in terms of seniority, you are a junior. I will not compete with you in daily life, but today is my grandson’s engagement party. I have to argue with you.”

Because Chu Xuanyue had already left the Chu family, before that, the heads of the major families had spent a lot of effort to think about how to address her. It was not appropriate to address her as Miss Chu or her full name, so they finally chose the title of president Chu.

“What advice do you have?”

Chu Xuanyue was still calm, as if she did not see the anger on Zhao Cangqiong’s face at all.

Zhao Cangqiong suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a sullen face, “Did you just say that the girl of the Qi family is in a pitiful situation?”

Of course, Chu Xuanyue would not deny what she had just said. She said calmly, “Yes, I said it!”

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Then let me ask you, what about my grandson?”

“He is not bad. He’s one of the best in the third generation of the aristocratic families in the capital.”

“In that case, why do you say that the girl of the Qi family will be pitied if she marries my grandson? Is my grandson so bad?”

With Zhao Cangqiong’s question, everyone’s eyes were focused on Chu Xuanyue’s face.

“Old Master Zhao, I did not mean that Zhao Hongkun is not good.” Chu Xuanyue said, “I speak from a woman’s point of view. For women, love is the most important thing in their lives. But now, the most important event in her life will be determined by others. Isn’t that a pity?”

“Love has nothing to do with whether you are excellent or not. As the saying goes, each person has his or her own love. No matter how good your grandson is, he is not someone that Qi Waner likes. Why are you forcing her?”

Her words were reasonable and won the approval of many women present. If it were not for the prestige of the Zhao family and the Qi family, someone would have applauded immediately.

“President Chu, that’s not right.” It was Qi Guofan who spoke this time.

“It’s easy for young people to be impulsive and it’s easy for them to be blinded by emotions and make improper choices. As parents, we can help them avoid this.”

“Waner is refusing Zhao Hongkun now. Maybe after ten or twenty years, she will find that Hongkun is the best choice.”

Chu Xuanyue said lightly, “Old Master Qi, you also said ‘maybe’. What if she still insists on her current idea after ten or twenty years?

“For example, I don’t regret what I thought at that time. I always think that my choice is right.”

After she said this, everyone looked at Chu Shanhe in unison. However, Chu Shanhe was indeed an experienced fox. He did not take it seriously at all. He continued to sip the tea in front of him slowly, as if nothing had happened.

Today was the day of the engagement party between the Zhao family and the Qi family. He would not get involved in this mess.

Qi Guofan snorted and said, “Even if what you said makes sense, as the child from an aristocratic family, she has to contribute to their family, including her marriage.”

What else could Chu Xuanyue to say? At this time, Qi Waner said, “Aunt Chu, thank you for your help.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I did not help you much. You have to keep your happiness in your own hands. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future.”

After saying that, Chu Xuanyue stopped talking. She picked up the teacup in front of her and slowly sipped from it.

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Waner, it’s time for you to make your stand. At this point, our Zhao family will not take the blame. You have to give us a way out.”

“A way?”

The people around sneered. Being publicly rejected, was there any way for the Zhao family to get out of this situation?
