Chapter 757: Escaping Marriage

Chen Yang, hurry up and take that brat Wang Qing Shu away for me!

Seeing Chen Yang and Chu Min suddenly arrive, Bai Bing was like she had met a savior, and she complained dissatisfiedly: "He's already thirty years old, still doesn't want to start a family and establish a career, spending all day locked in the study playing games. If his parents found out, our family wouldn't even need to go back for the Spring Festival to honor the ancestors."

Chen Yang, hearing this, was also at a loss. Before coming, Chu Min had hyped up this maternal uncle of hers as having the talent of a crouching dragon and phoenix chick, saying he would surely help her career reach new heights. And this is what we get?

"Aunt, it's nothing for young people to play games; I've been bored lately and have been playing games too. I didn't expect it to be quite fun." Chu Min, who is only two years apart in age from Wang Qing Shu, does not sympathize with Bai Bing's complaint.

Bai Bing gave Chu Min a look and said: "That brat neither wants to inherit the family business nor get married, just loafing around all day. And you have Chen Yang supporting you, so you'll never lack food or clothing for the rest of your life. How can that compare?"

Chu Min's face immediately showed a happy smile. But she still wanted to defend Wang Qing Shu: "Aunt, Qing Shu, as a maternal uncle, is at least an overseas-returned PhD student; if he wants to pursue a career, he will surely achieve great things."

Bai Bing snorted lightly and said: "If nobody manages him, I'm afraid your kids will be making soy sauce, and he still won't settle down."

As her words fell, a protest suddenly came from the study.

"Sister-in-law, I've been playing here at your place for two days; do you have to despise me like this?"

Chen Yang followed the sound and saw a young man in a plaid shirt walk out of the study. He was 1.75 meters tall, wore glasses, and had a handsome, sunny appearance.

Such a man theoretically lacks no women. Moreover, after being influenced by Western liberal thought, he has no concept of "continuing the family line" in his bones. Therefore, his act of fleeing marriage is not surprising.

Bai Bing pointed at her own front door and said to Wang Qing Shu without courtesy: "Once you step out of my gate, you can play however you like. I don't want to see it!"

"If there's no place for me here, there will be elsewhere!" Wang Qing Shu replied to Bai Bing with an indifferent expression, then took out a large suitcase from the study and walked out the door.

As he passed by Chen Yang and Chu Min, he suddenly stopped again, looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression, and said: "Great nephew-in-law, they've already issued the eviction order; aren't we leaving?"

Chen Yang couldn't accept having a strange man living in the house, even if he was a distant relative of Chu Min. He immediately said to Bai Bing: "Aunt, since we've come all this way, you ought to treat us to a meal."

Bai Bing replied unhappily: "Your uncle hasn't come back yet; who's going to cook? We can't let your pregnant wife go into the kitchen with a big belly."

Chen Yang's thoughts shifted, and he immediately said: "Then let's eat out; I'll treat."

Bai Bing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Seeing this, Wang Qing Shu immediately said: "Since the big boss is treating, let's go to that French restaurant on the Bund."

Chen Yang then asked Bai Bing for her opinion, and she indicated she had no objection. So Chen Yang had Bai Bing and Chu Min share Liu Qing's car to go to that French restaurant on the Bund, while he himself rode with Wang Qing Shu in Bai Ruonan's car.

Not long after getting in the car, Chen Yang directly said to Wang Qing Shu: "Maternal uncle, my mother's meaning is to have you work with me. But I think the decision should be left to you. If you're unwilling to work under someone, I will not force you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing Shu laughed and said: "Great nephew-in-law, you don't want me to go to your company, do you?"

Seeing that he understood his meaning, Chen Yang frankly said: "That's right, I don't want you to join the company at this time."

"My reason is also simple. You didn't come out just to play; you're fleeing marriage. If I take you in, your parents and your fiancée will surely hold a grudge against me."

"Although you are Chu Min's maternal uncle, we're not close. I have no obligation to, for your sake, needlessly make three enemies for myself."

Wang Qing Shu sighed, a bit disappointed, and said: "Chen Yang, you're only a few years younger than me, and your love life is also rich. I thought we were the same kind of person, but I didn't expect you to be an old-fashioned traditionalist as well."

Chen Yang laughed and said: "I don't think marrying and having children is feudal thinking. If human civilization had no next generation to continue it, wouldn't we just revert to primitive society?"

Wang Qing Shu wore a worried expression and said: "I'm not against marriage either, but one has to find someone they like. If it were you, could you accept marrying a strange woman?"

Chen Yang curiously asked Wang Qing Shu: "Is the marriage partner your parents arranged for you ugly?"

"I don't know." Wang Qing Shu shook his head and said: "I haven't even seen the person."

Chen Yang laughed helplessly and said: "At least you should meet the person first, right? What if the partner is a heavenly beauty and you fall in love at first sight?"

Wang Qing Shu rolled his eyes and said: "My great nephew, would a heavenly beauty need a blind date? She's already twenty-eight and still unmarried… If it weren't for a personality flaw, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance she's ugly."

It's indeed uncommon for a woman to be unmarried at twenty-eight domestically. But Chen Yang, as a reborn person, doesn't find it surprising. He told Wang Qing Shu: "Maternal uncle, you've also drunk the foreign ink; your thinking shouldn't be so narrow. Perhaps they postponed their lifelong matter for the family business."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing Shu loudly exclaimed: "I don't like women who are too dominant. If it's as you say, then coming to Modu was a very wise choice."

Chen Yang, seeing he couldn't be persuaded, could only change the subject: "Maternal uncle, since you're determined to avoid the marriage arranged by your family, you can only go to Xingcheng first. Here in Modu, they'll surely come looking for you sooner or later."

Wang Qing Shu, who had never been to Xingcheng, hesitated a bit and said: "Xingcheng is too far; I'd rather stay in Modu. If you're worried my family will come looking for you for trouble, you could arrange a night-shift job for me. I'll sleep and play games in the dorm during the day, and work the night shift. They definitely won't think of that!"

Chen Yang looked at him with a strange gaze and said: "A PhD in computer science, and you only want to be a security guard? Your diploma couldn't have been bought for five bucks at the train station, could it?"

Wang Qing Shu didn't expect Chen Yang to actually arrange a security job for him, and he replied unhappily: "Who said I have to be a security guard? Doesn't your company's technical department need someone on night duty?"

Chen Yang, feeling uneasy, asked: "Maternal uncle, your diploma really isn't bought for five bucks, is it?"

Seeing Chen Yang repeatedly doubting his education, Wang Qing Shu gritted his teeth and snapped: "Your diploma is the one that's bought! All your family's diplomas are bought!"
