Chapter 100 - 100 I Don't Plan to Marry Wen Yufei
100 I Don’t Plan to Marry Wen Yufei
“I refuse.” Chu Jinchen’s lips slowly curled up. His thin lips parted slightly as he said word by word.
The smile on Wen Gongliang’s face disappeared. “Jinchen, what do you mean?”
“He means that he doesn’t have time to accompany Yufei to customize a wedding dress. You know that this child is too ambitious,” Chu Qiteng quickly said.
“I see. Looks like I misunderstood,” Wen Gongliang said with a smile.
“Uncle Wen didn’t misunderstand.” Chu Jinchen propped his chin on his hand and smiled casually. “I don’t intend to marry Wen Yufei.”
“Bastard!” Chu Qi poked the ground with his walking stick and glared at Chu Jinchen with his turbid eyes. “This is not up to you!”
Chu Jinchen still had a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
“Old Master Chu, if the Chu family is unwilling, you can just say it. Our Feifei doesn’t have to cling to Jinchen.”
“Back then, it was also because of the fortune-teller’s words that I felt that these two children were fated. It’s good that Feifei can help Jinchen.”
“But now that Jinchen is unwilling, we don’t have to force him. Our Wen family is not worthy of your family!”
Wen Gongliang’s face was cold and his words were clear. Every word hit Chu Qiteng’s soft spot.
Glancing at Old Master Chu’s anxious expression, he lowered his head and chuckled.
Of course the Wen family needed the Chu family.
However, the fortune-teller had said that if Chu Jinchen did not marry Yufei at the age of thirty, he would die an unnatural death.
Better safe than sorry. He did not believe that anyone would not cherish their life.
Wen Gongliang was confident of victory.
He was certain that Chu Jinchen would lower his head first.
Indeed, in the next second, Chu Jinchen said calmly, “Uncle Wen is right. I was too rash. The marriage between the Wen and Chu families is a good thing.”
Wen Gongliang’s eyes were filled with joy as he waited for Chu Jinchen to continue.
He smiled with interest. “Uncle Wen, you can see which cousin of mine you like. I’ll introduce them to Yufei.”
Wen Gongliang: “?”
His expression froze as he looked at Chu Jinchen in disbelief. However, he still suppressed his anger, “Jinchen, what do you mean?”
“If Uncle Wen wants Yufei to marry only the heir of the Chu family, I’d have to choose carefully. There aren’t many people in the Chu family who can sit in my position.”
“Chu Jinchen!” Chu Qiteng roared.
He was so angry that he had to take deep breaths. His hand trembled as he pressed it to his heart. “Do you… do you have to anger me to death before you’re satisfied?”
Chu Jinchen looked up and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His black eyes were even deeper than the night. “Grandpa, it’s not me who’s making you angry. It’s yourself.”
“You!” Chu Qiteng’s face turned pale and he swayed.
The butler immediately steadied him.
It took a while for Old Master Chu to catch his breath.
“Are you alright, Old Master?” Wen Gongliang asked worriedly.
If Chu Qiteng died, it would be even more impossible for Feifei to marry into the Chu family!
“It’s fine.” Chu Qiteng waved his hand.
Wen Gongliang was about to say something when his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and looked at it. His eyes darkened and he clicked it off.
Chu Jinchen smiled faintly. “Why isn’t Uncle Wen answering his phone?”
“It’s just work, not important,” Wen Gongliang said.
As soon as he said that, the phone vibrated again.
He glanced down, his expression stunned.
Glancing at Chu Jinchen, he said calmly, “There’s something urgent at the company. I’ll go and return the call first.”
“Go ahead.” Chu Qiteng waved his hand.
After Wen Gongliang left, he questioned, “Is it because of that female celebrity that you don’t want to get married?”
“What if I say yes? Does Grandpa want to get rid of her?” Chu Jinchen’s eyes were cold, but his smile deepened.
Chu Qiteng’s body trembled.
“If you’re really afraid I’ll die an unnatural death, Grandpa, why don’t you tell me who the murderer was thirteen years ago?”
As soon as he said this, Old Master Chu was stunned on the spot. He subconsciously avoided Chu Jinchen’s gaze.
Chu Jinchen was not surprised. He said in a relaxed tone, “You’re protecting the murderer, but you’re forcing me to get married because you’re afraid that I’ll die an unnatural death?”
“I’m doing this for your own good. Yufei knows everything about you. She’s known you for so many years but how long have you known that female celebrity for?” Chu Qiteng looked at the ground and said.
Compared to the beginning, he was more or less lacking in confidence now.
“After all the years I’ve known her, I still haven’t fallen in love with her, much less marry her.”
“Miss Wen!” came the maid’s cry.
Chu Jinchen and Chu Qi looked over and saw Wen Yufei sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes.
Biting her lip, she suppressed her sadness and asked, “Are you unwilling to marry me even if there isn’t Shi Ran?”
Hearing this, Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes and played with the phone in his hand.
“Feifei!” When Wen Gongliang saw Wen Yufei crying on the ground, his heart ached. He went forward and helped her up.
Wen Gongliang looked at Old Master Chu indifferently. “We’ve disturbed you today. We’ll leave first.”
He left with Wen Yufei.
In the car, Wen Yufei cried until she was out of breath.
Wen Gongliang patted her back with heartache and comforted her gently, “He’s just blinded by that vixen now, that’s why he’s obsessed with breaking off the engagement.”
“Don’t worry, with Dad around, I have a way to make Chu Jinchen completely give up on that vixen.”
Wen Yufei raised her red and swollen eyes. “Dad, when I just came, I heard that something happened to Shi Ran. Did you succeed?”
At the mention of this, Wen Gongliang’s expression immediately turned ugly. “She was saved and my men were sent to the police station by her.”
“The police station? Will they tell anyone about Dad? Will Jinchen know?” Wen Yufei grabbed his arm in panic.
He soothed her. “Don’t worry. My people are very tight-lipped and I have a way to get them out.”
Wen Yufei heaved a sigh of relief.
Wen Gongliang smiled even more lovingly. “Don’t worry, Feifei. Aren’t you going to be on a variety show with Jinchen in a few days? Cultivate your relationship with him well. Leave that female celebrity to me.”
“Yes, thank you, Dad.” Wen Yufei finally smiled.
Shi Ran’s Apartment
She was now sitting in front of the computer, a white book beside her with strings of numbers written on it.
She’d gotten those numbers from that phone’s address book.
Unfortunately, the other party was too cautious.
The numbers were now all destroyed.
“Snow Manor…” Shi Ran rubbed her chin, her eyes thoughtful.
Although the numbers had been destroyed, the last known location was Snow Manor.
What the hell was this place?
There were a lot of videos stored in that phone. They also seemed to be related to Snow Manor.
At the thought of this, she placed her fingers on the keyboard. Her fair hand formed a strong contrast against the black keyboard.
Her expression was serious and she was extremely fast. She was even more focused than the last time Ji Wenfeng and the others saw her.
Quickly, she succeeded in hacking into the Snow Manor’s central control system. The secrets of Snow Manor were revealed to her.
There were many missing persons cases in the capita; last year, and almost all of them were women from out of town.
And now the pictures and names of the women had become folders.
“Ah! Help …”
The woman’s desperate voice kept ringing in Shi Ran’s head.
The video inside was even more bloody and terrifying than what she had seen on the phone.
It wasn’t just the missing persons case anymore.
Shi Ran narrowed her eyes and suddenly had an idea.
