Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Chu Family Engagement Ceremony

Old Madam Chu was bullying Yang Ying, and Chu Lin was protecting Chu Yan and Gao Yang, but he wouldn’t even protect his own mother?

Yang Ying said, “He went with Cheng Yue to the Cheng Family’s grave to pay respects to the ancestors.”

At the entrance of the Chu Family, Second Aunt Chu and Chu Li, who were kicked out by the bodyguards, continuously supported Old Madam Chu.

Chu Li stomped her foot and said, “Grandma, Yuan Xi is being too unfilial. It’s true what they say about not raising them yourself. How could she treat you like this? She even let the bodyguards kick us out. It seems she’s nothing compared to Sister Yan Yan.

“If Sister Yan Yan were still at home today, she definitely wouldn’t harm Brother Lin like Yuan Xi does. Sister Yan Yan would never approve a secretary marrying into the Chu Family and becoming the Young Madam Chu, disgracing our family’s name.

“It’s unlike Yuan Xi, harming her own brother like that. She’s been back at the Chu Family for almost a year, yet she refuses to change her last name back to Chu, showing that she doesn’t care about our family’s honor at all.”

Second Aunt Chu said, “Mother-in-law, Li Li is right. Yuan Xi used to be a secretary too. Maybe it was her idea to convince the eldest sister-in-law to let Cheng Yue enter the family.”

Old Madam Chu’s hands trembled with anger, “I won’t sit idly by and watch them harm my precious grandson!”

Saturday.

Yuan Xi woke up early, but since it was her day off, she didn’t really want to get up from Huo Shiyuan’s embrace, and she stayed there sorting out the complicated official matters of Mi Chen.

Around eight o’clock, she heard Little Huohuo’s voice at the door.

Huo Shiyuan opened his eyes, checked the time, and asked, “Why is Huohuo here?”

Yuan Xi said, “My mom probably invited your parents to Chu Lin’s engagement ceremony.”

Yuan Xi got up, opened the main bedroom door, and saw Little Huohuo hopping around in the living room.

“Sister, sister, I can’t wait to go play with Yingying!”

Yuan Xi glanced at her watch—it was only eight o’clock, “Little Huohuo, why are you here so early?”

Little Huohuo said, “I want to play with Little Yingying, I woke up very early.”

Aunt Chen, who was taking care of Little Huohuo, smiled helplessly and said, “Little Huo knew he was coming to Jiang City today, so he got up at five in the morning as soon as it was light, fussing about wanting to play with Little Yingying. Ms. Shi then had me bring him over to Jiang City early.”

Huo Shiyuan came out and heard Aunt Chen’s voice. He scoffed lightly, “Ms. Shi really spoils Huohuo too much.”

Yuan Xi yawned and quickly did her makeup. The engagement ceremony was a dinner event, so she didn’t immediately dress in the cumbersome gown, just placed it in the car to change into it when the formal dinner began.

They arrived at the Chu Family around nine.

There were already quite a few guests there.

Although the engagement ceremony was set as a dinner event, close relatives of both the Chu Family and the Yang Family had a banquet at noon too.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan were holding Little Huohuo’s hands as they approached the entrance of Chu’s Mansion, where Gu Hanchen was “welcoming guests” and rubbed Little Huohuo’s face.

Little Huohuo pouted angrily, “Why do you always touch my face every time you see me? I really hate you!”

Gu Hanchen laughed and said, “You can’t hate me. I’m Yingying’s uncle. If you hate me, I won’t let Yingying play with you.”

Little Huohuo pouted even more and said, “Brother.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Don’t listen to him. Yingying will still play with you.”

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen and asked, “Why are you welcoming guests at the door? Where’s Chu Lin?”

Gu Hanchen said, “He’s still getting styled.”

Gu Hanchen then grabbed Huo Shiyuan and said, “You stay and help me greet the guests here.”

Huo Shiyuan didn’t refuse and joined Gu Hanchen in greeting the incoming guests at the door.

Yuan Xi took Little Huohuo’s hand to the makeup room.

Cheng Yue was there getting her makeup and styling done.

“Sister,” Yuan Xi called out as she saw Cheng Yue in the mirror.

Cheng Yue turned around and gave Yuan Xi a gentle smile, looking at the little boy next to Yuan Xi and said with a faint smile, “This child really resembles President Huo.”

Yuan Xi nodded, “He is Shiyan’s little brother, called Shihuo, Little Huohuo, say hello to your sister.”

Little Huohuo walked over and sweetly exclaimed, “Sister, you are so beautiful.”

Cheng Yue smiled gently, “You are handsome too, such a handsome little boy.”

Little Huohuo shyly smiled.

Yuan Xi said to Cheng Yue, “I’ll take him to play with other kids now, so I won’t disturb your makeup session.”

Cheng Yue nodded gently.

Yuan Xi, holding Little Huohuo’s hand, found Gu Nuan and Gu Ying, then let Shihuo play with Gu Ying.

After receiving a message from Liang Suisui, Yuan Xi went to the entrance to meet Liang Suisui.

Gu Hanchen was slightly surprised to see Liang Suisui at the entrance and said, “Why are you here?”

Liang Suisui responded, “Why can’t I come?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Isn’t it awkward for you? Chu Lin was originally pursuing you, if it weren’t for Cheng Yue getting pregnant, perhaps you would have been today’s bride!”

Liang Suisui waved her index finger and said, “Impossible, I wouldn’t marry someone brainless. But it’s fine to be friends if not lovers. Chu Lin invited me to the engagement ceremony, why shouldn’t I come? Not coming would mean having something to hide.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Hahaha, well said.”

Hearing Liang Suisui’s words, Yuan Xi also smiled gently and walked inside with Liang Suisui.

Liang Suisui looked at the purple and blue décor of the mansion and said, “This engagement celebration is set up just like a wedding, quite lavish.”

Yuan Xi looked around at the engagement ceremony setup inside the mansion, indeed, it was no different from a wedding.

Yuan Xi was curious, considering today’s setup was suitable for a wedding, why didn’t they just declare it as a wedding instead of an engagement ceremony.

Liang Suisui said, “Let’s go and see the bride. Speaking of which, Chu Lin even sent me several gifts through her. I never really paid attention to her looks. She’s like invisible to me.”

Inside the bride’s makeup room.

The makeup artist working on Cheng Yue said, “Have you really decided, to marry Chu Lin? Have you forgotten all the complaints you had about Chu Lin before?”

Cheng Yue said, “Not marrying him yet, it’s just an engagement, not a wedding. Mr. Yang offered so much, it was hard to decline…”

Cheng Yue had always been from a well-off family, her mother a doctor and her father a government official, household never lacked money, but who would complain about having too much?

Especially during the two years she studied abroad, saving and counting days when she could feast upon returning home.

In contrast, her affluent classmates had chefs from back home cooking daily, even flying in special fruits and ingredients on private planes.

After returning home, she should have followed her father’s wishes, taken a stable job at the Jiang City Energy Bureau, yet she chose to join Chu Neng instead.

The salary in Chu Neng was twice that of the Energy Bureau, and she firmly believed she could climb the ranks. But as soon as she was promoted to vice president, she was assigned as the secretary to the parachuted executive, Chu Lin.

Yet, Cheng Yue also knew, if she did well as Chu Lin’s secretary, she could someday become a divisional general manager or even a vice president at headquarters…

But since becoming Chu Lin’s secretary, Zhou Jiameng had been targeting her at every turn, even scheming against her at the workplace.

Initially, after learning about Zhou Jiameng’s plot, she considered using herself to get revenge, but then followed her parents’ advice to pursue a governmental exam instead.

After seven to eight years at Chu Neng, she was tired of the deceit and stress in the private sector.

But never had she anticipated having a child or being caught by Yang Ying.

The makeup artist said, “To get revenge against Zhou Jiameng, is it worth throwing your whole life away?”

Cheng Yue responded, “Not worth it, though it’s satisfying. Besides, Chu Lin is young, handsome, and wealthy, though sometimes indecisive, dumb enough not to see through people…”

“Ha!”

Hearing a man’s laughter, Cheng Yue turned around to see Chu Lin dressed in a bespoke tailcoat. She didn’t seem embarrassed being caught speaking ill behind someone’s back, stood up, and greeted, “Mr. Chu.”
