Chapter 160 - 160 If You Marry Her, She Might Become A Widow
160 If You Marry Her, She Might Become A Widow
The next day.
However, because of a last-minute appointment Shi Ran had to attend to, they had no choice but to change the morning pick-up to a dinner meeting.
Chu Jinchen arrived at the airport.
From afar, he saw his parents and the Wen couple walking out together.
At the same time, there was another person beside the Wen couple.
Chu Jinchen’s eyes darkened.
“Baby!” Seeing Chu Jinchen, Mother Chu pounced over happily and hugged her son.
She looked around but did not see the person she wanted to see.
Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, Ranran didn’t come. Otherwise, it would have been awkward,” Mother Chu said softly.
She did not expect Yufei to suddenly come over to pick her up.
Although Yufei was there to pick up her best friend, it would be very awkward if Shi Ran and Yufei met.
Chu Jinchen smiled and lowered his head. “If you don’t let go of me, I’m going to be beaten to death.”
Mrs. Chu stuck out her tongue. “I almost forgot about your father’s jealousy.”
Father Chu stepped forward and hugged Mother Chu. He said in a low voice, “Since you already have a wife, don’t hug other people’s wives.”
Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.
Wen Yufei walked over with her aunt arm in arm and happened to hear Mother Chu’s words.
She thought that she was the one Mother Chu was talking about.
She lowered her head shyly. “Auntie, I haven’t married Jinchen yet.”
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Mrs. Chu laughed dryly. “Let’s go back. Father must be waiting anxiously.”
“Why don’t we have lunch together? I haven’t seen Jinchen in a long time. These two children are about to get married, right?” Wang Zirou said with a gentle smile.
Since her best friend had already spoken, Mother Chu could not refuse.
“Alright, let’s have lunch together. How about that?” She looked at Chu Jinchen and asked tentatively.
“I still have something to deal with.” Chu Jinchen refused calmly.
Wen Yufei bit her lip.
Soon, she smiled considerately. “Work is the most important. If Jinchen is busy, you can go first. I’ll accompany Uncle and Auntie to eat. I’ll send them back then.”
Chu Jinchen’s smile faded. “No need. I’ll send them back first.”
At this moment, even Wang Zirou and Wen Qi could tell that something was wrong.
“Did the two of you quarrel?” Wang Zirou asked curiously.
“Auntie Wen, we’ve already broken off the engagement.”
“What?!” Wang Zirou was shocked. “What’s going on?”
Wen Yufei finally could not help but cry.
Mother Chu could not bear to see this, but in her heart, her son was still the most important. “Feifei, this matter is ultimately Jinchen’s private matter. As parents, it’s not good for us to interfere.”
“Auntie apologizes on his behalf, but marriage is not a child’s play. You…”
“Auntie.” Wen Yufei interrupted Mother Chu with tears in her eyes. “Do you also think that Shi Ran’s better than me?”
“Shi Ran?” Wang Zirou and Wen Qi looked at each other.
They finally understood what was going on.
They had also seen “Love Warning” before, and Mother Chu had brought them along to watch it.
At that time, they still had a good impression of Shi Ran.
Later on, as she interacted more and more with Chu Jinchen, they also wondered if they were being hyped up by the production team.
But now, it seemed that this was not the reason.
“Yufei, of course we don’t mean that, but we respect Jinchen’s decision.” Mother Chu looked at Wen Yufei’s teary eyes and couldn’t bear to see her like this.
However, she had always been straightforward and did not know how to say anything pretentious.
Seeing this, Wang Zirou took the initiative to deal with the situation . “Jinchen, send them back first. The two of us will go for a meal with Yufei.”
“Alright, I’ll treat Auntie Wen and Uncle Wen to a meal next time,” Chu Jinchen said humbly.
In the car.
“I say, aren’t you being too direct? The elders are all here, and you directly mentioned the annulment,” Mother Chu muttered.
“Is it bad?” Chu Jinchen asked.
“Your grandfather really agreed?” Mother Chu asked in surprise.
“Yeah.”
“That’s unexpected. With your grandfather’s superstitious personality, he clearly knows that if you don’t marry Yufei, you’ll die at the age of 30. Why would he agree to annul the engagement?” Mother Chu rubbed her chin and asked in confusion.
Chu Jinchen chuckled. “Even if he doesn’t agree, I won’t marry her.”
“Do you really like Ranran?” Mother Chu gossiped.
“Of course,” Chu Jinchen admitted unequivocally.
“Then you have to pursue her well and pester her. Your father pursued me like this back then.”
“Alright, stop talking,” Father Chu said silently.
Chu Jinchen did not give him any face and laughed.
Mr. Chu narrowed his eyes. “You have to think carefully. If you marry her, she might become a widow.”
Chu Jinchen’s black eyes darkened. “I didn’t expect Father to be so superstitious.”
“It’s better to believe it than not,” Mother Chu said.
“Then why did you ask me to chase after her?”
Mrs. Chu spread her hands. “There’s no choice. Who asked me to like that girl? When you die, I can still bring her around as a daughter and find her a better son.”
Chu Jinchen: “?”
She was really his biological mother!
Mr. Chu also said cooperatively, “Not bad. You’d get a daughter without having to get pregnant.”
Chu Jinchen quickly chose to shut up.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Chu Family’s old residence.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu got out of the car.
The family of three walked towards the mansion.
Following behind was San Yu with their luggage.
When Old Master Chu saw his son and daughter-in-law, he smiled until his wrinkles appeared. “It’s good that you’re back!”
However, when he saw Chu Jinchen behind him, his old face turned stern and he snorted.
Chu Jinchen said casually, “I haven’t seen you in a day and Grandpa has become even more energetic.”
Old Master Chu was so angry that he wanted to beat Chu Jinchen up with his cane.
In the end, he was stopped by Mother Chu.
“You should have heard about the annulment. I’ve talked to Old Wen. Someone wants to die early. I might as well fulfill his wish!”
Chu Jinchen smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
Old Master Chu was so angry that his heart almost stopped.
“Father, young people like them have thoughts of their own. As elders, we can’t interfere,” Mother Chu said as she saw Old Master Chu glare at her.
Her heart skipped a beat as she changed the topic and said, “But Jinchen is indeed too much. No matter what, he shouldn’t anger you. I’ll teach him a lesson later.”
“Don’t patronize an old man like me.” Old Master Chu snorted. “Your son is exactly the same as you back then. He’s used to angering people.”
Mrs. Chu smiled awkwardly.
Thinking of their date tonight, she said directly, “We’re having dinner with… Shi Ran tonight. Father, do you want to meet that little girl too?”
Hearing this, Old Master Chu’s gaze landed back on Chu Jinchen.
He turned away. “I won’t go over and get in the way.”
Chu Jinchen smiled and said, “Don’t go over tonight, all of you.”
“Huh?” The three of them looked at him.
Chu Jinchen said lazily, “I don’t want her to feel too much pressure. When we’re together in the future, I’ll bring her to have a meal with you all.”
Old Master Chu frowned. “You haven’t even managed to woo her yet?”
“Aren’t I waiting for the annulment of the engagement before I can pursue her legitimately.”
Old Master Chu sneered. “Don’t embarrass our Chu family if you can’t even woo a girl!”
