Chapter 681 Chu Xuanyue’s Prevarication
“Oh! Then I’ll apologize to him in person if there’s a chance in the future,” Qi Guofan said. “Niece Xuanyue, I have a second thing. Since the two children are already together, their relationship is definite. I want to propose marriage face to face and get it settled for the two children. What do you think?”
Hearing his words, Qin Haodong imdiately understood what he ant. As expected, every one of these family masters was extrely cunning, and Qi Guofan was no exception.
It was obvious that the Qi family wanted him to work for them through this marriage. Even if he didn’t do anything, they could also count on the marriage to raise their social status in the capital. After all, not every big family dared to provoke the family who possessed five supre power masters of the ninth level.
If the matter that Qi Waner was forced to get engaged to the Zhao family hadn’t happened, it wouldn’t have been a big deal for him to help the Qi family. But after this matter, he was extrely disgusted with the Qi family.
If it weren’t for his strong strength, Qi Waner would have been forced to marry Zhao Hongkun at this ti. He didn’t want to let such a big family that only valued interests without regard for family ties take advantage of him at all.
However, since he took Qi Waner in front of the crowd, and now was with her in public, it was reasonable to ask them to get engaged. It was really hard for him to refuse. Qin Haodong wondered how his mother would deal with it.
In the living room, Qi Guofan continued, “Although I’m old-fashioned, I’m not stubborn. I understand the behavior of young people nowadays. It’s nothing even if they live together before marriage.
“But we are big influential families. It’s not good for the two children to live together in such an unclear way. If they get engaged, they can be together in a justified way.”
Chu Xuanyue replied, “Family Master Qi, what you said makes sense. I think so.”
Qi Guofan was delighted and asked hurriedly, “Niece Xuanyue, do you have any objections to this marriage?”
“Wan’er is a good girl, and I like her very much. How can I have any objections?” Just when Qi Guofan thought that Chu Xuanyue was going to agree, she changed the topic. “Family Master Qi, it’s just that the children’s engagent is a big deal, and I’m just a woman. I can’t make any decision for my son directly.
Well, I have to decide when his father cos back. As long as Zongheng gets ho, I will imdiately tell him about this matter. Then we will get them engaged in a dignified manner.”
“I...”
Qi Guofan almost spat out blood. Qin Zongheng had disappeared for more than 20 years. Although there was news of his return a few days ago, nothing happened after that. No one knew when he would get ho.
“Niece Xuanyue, you see, this is just an engagent. I think you can make the decision on your own. You don’t have to wait for him to co back, do you?”
Chu Xuanyue shook her head and answered, “Family Master Qi, you just said that we are all big influential families. n have to be in charge of everything. As for the engagent which is a big deal, we must follow the rules of our family and wait for his father to co back.”
Qi Guofan had only heard that Chu Xuanyue was extrely sophisticated in handling matters. He finally experienced it in person today.
Of course, he was not willing to give up. His face darkened as he uttered, “Niece Xuanyue, since that’s the case, I don’t think it’s proper for Wan’er to live in your house. After all, there’s no reason for her to do it.
Well, I’ll take her back first. When Zongheng cos back, we can get them engaged. It’s not too late for Wan’er to co over then.”
Chu Xuanyue sneered in her heart. “This old fox is using Qi Waner to force .”
She was not anxious or annoyed, but smiled and said, “Family Master Qi, I think what you said makes sense. But now Wan’er and Haodong have gone out, and I don’t know when they will co back. They may co back today, or more than 10 days later.
“If you’re free, just wait here. When Wan’er cos back, you can take her back imdiately.”
This ti, Qi Guofan was completely dumbfounded. He was fooled by Chu Xuanyue’s prevarication, but he couldn’t fight back.
Qi Waner was a mber of the Qi family, but unfortunately, her heart wasn’t in the Qi family now but was on Chu Xuanyue’s son, which made him have nowhere to use his power.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, that’s it for the ti being. When Haodong cos back, apologize to him for and tell Wan’er that the door of the Qi family is always open to her. Going back to the Qi family with Haodong is welcod.”
Chu Xuanyue responded happily, “Family Master Qi, don’t worry. I can do such a small thing.”
It would be useless for Qi Guofan to stay any longer, so he left the Tang Sect with his people.
As soon as he left, Qin Haodong ca over from the side and gave Chu Xuanyue a hug, chuckling. “Mom, you did a good job. I guess Wan’er’s grandfather must be pissed off, but he couldn’t say anything.”
“Of course, who do you think your mother is?” At this point, Chu Xuanyue’s face suddenly darkened and she said bitterly, “I’m wondering where your father is now. Why hasn’t he co back yet?
“You’re going to get married, but we haven’t heard anything from him these days. Now we’re reunited, but he hasn’t co ho yet.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I think that after the news of my return gets out, Dad will be back soon.”
Qin Haodong said that, but he wasn’t sure at all.
According to the news sent by the Deep Web, Qin Zongheng was either dead or hiding in so mountain forests. The odds of him knowing that his son was still alive were slim.
While the mother and son were talking, the security guard at the door ran in again. There were too many people coming to visit today, which made him very busy.
“Boss, soone from the Chu family wants to visit you.”
Upon hearing the news, the mother and son exchanged glances. Chu Xuanyue’s expression instantly changed. She was no longer as calm as she had been when she dealt with Qi Guofan.
Although she had already guessed that the Chu family would send soone to visit her, she was still a little uneasy when they ca. It had been more than 20 years. Although they all had lived in the capital, she had no contact with the Chu family. Today, they would finally et again.
“Who is it?” Qin Haodong asked the security guard.
“He said that his na is Chu Xuanli.”
“Hurry up to invite him in.”
Knowing that it was her elder brother, Chu Xuanyue imdiately relaxed a lot.
The person who had the deepest affection for her in the Chu family was Chu Xuanli. When she was expelled from the Chu family, the only person who spoke for her was her elder brother. Unfortunately, he did not have much say in their family.
After briefly introducing Chu Xuanli’s situation to Qin Haodong, Chu Xuanyue said, “Be nice to your elder uncle later. It was your grandparents who wanted to hurt you. Your elder uncle wanted to protect , but he wasn’t powerful enough to do so.”
Qin Haodong nodded. He was a man who could distinguish right from wrong and was grateful. Since this uncle was good to his mother, he would certainly respect him.
At the sa ti, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Chu family sent a disciple of the second generation, who didn’t have much power, to invite him. Who did the Chu family think he was? Did they think it was that easy to invite him?
Soon, under the guidance of the security guard, Chu Xuanli reached the living room.
“Elder brother!”
“Younger sister!”
After 20 years of separation, the siblings finally t and they hugged each other tightly as they burst into a flood of tears.
Although they lived in the sa city, Chu Xuanli never dared to co to see his younger sister because of the family rules.
After a long ti, the two slowly separated. Chu Xuanyue turned back and called Qin Haodong, “Son, co and greet your elder uncle.”
“Nice to et you, elder uncle!”
Qin Haodong saluted Chu Xuanli.
“Good! Good! Boy, you’re so grown up...”
After exchanging a few words of greetings, Chu Xuanli sat down and said excitedly to Chu Xuanyue, “Younger sister, let tell you a piece of good news. Mom and Dad finally agree to let you go back to the Chu family. I’m here to pick you up.”
After that, he thought that his sister would be ecstatic, but unexpectedly, Chu Xuanyue just nodded slightly and said, “Elder brother, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t want to go back to that family, and there is no need to go back.”
As she spoke, she recalled how heartless Jin Xiuying and Chu Shanhe were, and felt a burst of sadness in her heart.
“Younger sister, what are you talking about? The Chu family is your ho. Everyone is looking forward to your return...”
Chu Xuanyue uttered, “Elder brother, you don’t have to lie to . If I’m right, you’re the only one in the whole Chu family, who welco back.
“Mom, in particular, will never welco , her daughter, to go back. She only cares about her sons and those cruel rules.”
As she spoke of this, her eyes were a little wet. Other mothers had endless tenderness for their daughters, but her mother didn’t. What she had towards her was only coldness.
Chu Xuanli said awkwardly, “Younger sister, don’t bla Mom. That’s her character.”
“It doesn’t matter whether I bla her or not,” Chu Xuanyue replied. “I have gone through the most difficult ti alone. Now I already have a son. Is there any need to go back?”
“But, the Chu family is your ho after all...”
When Chu Xuanli still wanted to continue, Chu Xuanyue interrupted him directly and said, “Elder brother, you don’t have to persuade . The Chu family has kicked out of the house. This is my ho.”
“This... younger sister, don’t you really want to go back? What happened was a misunderstanding. It’s really a rare chance that Dad and Mom allow you to go back ho. I’m afraid that in the future...”
Chu Xuanyue stated, “Elder brother, you are good, but you are too honest. Do you think that Dad and Mom ask to go back because of family affection?
“No! They have found that my son is promising and want Haodong to work for the Chu family, so they ask us to go back!
“If my son is still an ordinary person now, they will definitely not cast a glance at . Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it doesn’t matter to them at all.”
“It...”
Chu Xuanli was loyal and honest, but he was not a fool. After listening to Chu Xuanyue’s words, he understood the key point.
Seeing that his younger sister really had no intention of going back, he sighed regretfully and said, “Well, since you’ve decided not to go back, I’ll leave now.”
He could tell that Chu Xuanyue was determined not to go back to the Chu family, so he got up and was about to go out.
“Wait a minute, elder uncle!”
Qin Haodong, who stood beside, suddenly called out to Chu Xuanli.
