Chapter 263: Escape from the Mountains (44)
Xiaohua said, "Grandpa said I'm still young and for my safety it's best not to expose me to the public."
There were quite a few media people at the scene, so there was no guarantee that some photos would not leak out.
Chen Jiahui laughed at Xiaohua's innocence, but didn't say anything.
After Chen Jiahui graduated, Chen Bingrui arranged a position for her in the company. Since she majored in business administration, Chen Bingrui asked her to start from the bottom.
Gradually, she understood many things that she didn't understand before, and was able to interpret other hidden meanings from some things.
Chen Xianhua is trying to get resources for Xiaocao.
Chen Jiahui used to think that Chen Xianhua was more partial to young actresses, but now it seems that is not the case.
She looked at Xiaohua, a 16-year-old girl at the age of a flower. She was getting more and more beautiful, with fair skin and big, bright eyes. She looked like an exquisite doll in a pink dress.
No wonder Grandpa liked Xiaohua the most before.
Chen Jiahui withdrew her gaze and left after a short while.
More and more people were looking at Xiaohua. Seeing her sitting next to Chu Mingyu, they thought she was from the Chu family.
...
Chen Jiahui walked around the banquet for a long time but didn't see Wu Mengchuan, so she walked to her parents in disappointment.
Chen Bingrui knew from her expression that her mind was elsewhere, so he frowned and said, "Such a good opportunity, why don't you go and get to know more people? What are you doing wandering around?"
Chen Jiahui curled her lips and said, "I've already met everyone I should know, and they're all crowded around Grandpa to celebrate his birthday."
Chen Bingrui looked in the direction of Chen Xianhua, and Xiaocao was standing next to him, interacting with everyone with ease.
Comparing it with my own daughter, it's really disgusting.
"It's time for you to grow up and mature. You will experience many more times in this world of fame and fortune in the future. Whether you seize the resources or are treated as a resource is up to you."
Chen Jiahui bit her lip.
Ding Min understood her and thought she was probably thinking about that boy.
"Which boy do you like? Why don't you tell Mom and Dad at all?"
Chen Jiahui thought that they had not even started dating yet. They had not chatted much since they added each other's contact information a few years ago. Wu Mengchuan was busy with work, so she did not dare to disturb him too much.
Chen Bingrui gets a headache whenever this matter is mentioned.
Chen Bingrui said, "Your great-grandfather probably plans to marry Xiaocao to Li Yanshu."
Chen Jiahui widened her eyes: "No way?"
Li Yanshu and Xiaocao?
Chen Jiahui couldn't imagine the two of them getting married. They must be from two completely different worlds!
Although they grew up together, Chen Jiahui really felt that Li Yanshu and Xiaocao looked awkward together...
Chen Jiahui leaned close to Ding Min's ear and said, "Could it be that Grandpa really listened to what I said before?"
Ding Min glared at Chen Jiahui: "How dare you bring that up? If you hadn't made such a fuss, we would have already set a date with the Li family."
"Oh, I didn't say I regretted it."
"But why is grandpa so determined to marry her to Li Yanshu?" Chen Jiahui didn't understand. Chen Xianhua must like Li Yanshu and the Li family too much.
Ding Min said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Chen family is richer and more powerful than the Li family now. When your great-grandfather first started his business, Li Yanshu's grandfather was already a man of some social status. He helped your great-grandfather a lot. He borrowed the money to start his business and didn't have to pay back the interest."
"Your great grandfather remembered this favor. Later, as his business grew, he arranged for the younger generations of the two families to marry each other in order to repay his kindness. At that time, marriages were entirely arranged by matchmakers and parents. If it weren't for your aunt's incident, Li Yunhang would be married to your aunt now."
"If my daughter can't marry into the Li family, I'll just let my granddaughter marry." Chen Jiahui muttered softly.
Ding Min tapped her daughter's forehead and said, "You and Li Yanshu grew up together, and he's such a talented person. How could I harm you by letting you marry him?"
"Your great grandfather is doing this because you two are childhood sweethearts. He didn't force you even if you didn't want to."
Chen Jiahui curled her lips: "Li Yanshu is too pitiful. He has to be tied to the Chen family."
She immediately lit a candle for Li Yanshu in her heart.
"Does Li Yanshu know about this?" she asked Ding Min. "What if Li Yanshu doesn't want to?"
...
Li Yanshu was not unwilling.
After learning about this from Li Yunhang, he couldn't sleep the whole night, and was frequently distracted during the group's morning meeting the next day.
His supervisor noticed the abnormality and thought that he was under heavy pressure from the project recently, so he asked him to go back and rest more.
Yu Xi knew that Li Yanshu was interested in Xiaocao, so she asked Li Yunhang to agree to this matter.
Soon the two families had a meal together to discuss their marriage.
Because both of them were of marriageable age, they skipped the engagement step and discussed marriage directly.
The whole thing went so smoothly that even Li Yanshu had not expected it, and the date was soon set on July 7th of the next year.
Xiaocao did not resist marrying Li Yanshu and was very cooperative.
However, after she brought her team into Yinghua, she became even busier and had no time to plan her wedding, so she left it all to Chen Xianhua's secretary.
But Xiaohua was very surprised about their marriage, and even a little disappointed. She always felt that her sister would transfer all her energy to others after getting married.
When Chen Jiahui learned about it at first, she was also shocked, but soon she became happier than the person involved. She even helped Xiaocao go to the bridal shop to choose a wedding dress and posted a message on her Moments.
Wu Mengchuan saw the circle of friends and learned that Xiaocao was going to get married.
Wu Mengchuan, who was on a business trip, called Xiaocao as soon as he learned about it, but Xiaocao was busy and didn't answer.
So Wu Mengchuan asked Wu Menghe to ask about this matter.
While Wu Menghe was busy playing the game, she impatiently replied, "Xiaocao will naturally tell me if she wants to get married. Why are you so anxious? She's not marrying you."
Wu Mengchuan:......
It's not a rush to marry him.
Xiaocao just said a while ago that she didn’t have a boyfriend, so how come the senior is getting married?
At this point, Wu Mengchuan was too lazy to hide it from his sister and said angrily, "I like Xiaocao. Okay, go find out for me if it's true. I can't contact her."
Wu Menghe even thought he was hallucinating: "What? What do you like? You like grass? Are you serious?"
Wu Mengchuan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I like grass. Did you hear that?"
"Oh my god, brother! You, you're really going to make a splash!" Wu Menghe didn't expect his brother to suddenly make a splash. "What were you doing before? You didn't say anything when Xiaocao came to our house to play basketball. You didn't say anything when you two were in the same university. Now that she's getting married, you're telling her. Are you sick?"
This is really my sister!
"Don't talk so much nonsense, I just want to ask if you can help me."
"Okay, okay." Wu Menghe was convinced by him. "I'll go ask for you, but let me be clear, if she really wants to get married, I won't help you steal her away. Forget it."
