Chapter 141: Letting Cheng Wan Leave

Chu Li invited Cheng Han to dinner.

Cheng Han poured a glass of wine and handed it to Chu Li, teasing him in a laid-back manner.

"You really have broken your heart over this marriage arrangement."

As for whether he and Qin Yunshu were to marry, he held a completely indifferent attitude.

Chu Li stared at him with a face as dark as water and did not pick up the wine glass.

He and Cheng Han grew up together and were the best of brothers.

Later, after Cheng Han's parents passed away and Qin Yunshu fled her wedding to go abroad with him, their relationship had faded just like that.

Now that they were meeting again, even though he still wore the same nonchalant expression as before, Chu Li could see the true emotions he had hidden away.

He also had a sharp side.

"You marry Yun Shu, and I will help you take back what belongs to you." Chu Li stated his terms directly.

The smile at the corners of Cheng Han's mouth did not change; he swirled the transparent liquid in his glass. "Qin Yunshu couldn't be Old Chu's illegitimate daughter, could she? No, that's not right; if she were an illegitimate daughter, you would have swept her out the door long ago."

Chu Li furrowed his brows.

"She abandoned you for me, yet you still refuse to give up on her, even helping her plan this marriage. If you weren't about the same age, I would even suspect she was your own daughter."

Cheng Han's languid tone sounded like he was joking.

Yet it also hid a hint of seriousness.

Chu Li pinched the bridge of his nose. "I am talking to you about this matter seriously."

In truth, the marriage alliance mainly depended on Cheng Han's attitude.

If he were willing, even if Cheng Huade were displeased, this matter could still be accomplished.

But he was not very willing.

"Back then she fled her wedding for you and went abroad with you. Cheng Han, if you have no feelings for her, why go to such lengths?"

Everyone thought they were true love.

Who could have imagined that three years later, Cheng Han had already detached himself from this relationship.

Cheng Han's gaze was somewhat unfocused; he had long since not wanted to mention the events of three years ago.

"I can marry Qin Yunshu, but besides what you said, I have one more condition."

Chu Li set down his wine glass and watched him with cold eyes.

They grew up together and naturally had some understanding of each other.

Chu Li guessed that Cheng Han's condition had to do with Cheng Wan.

"You let Cheng Wan leave and facilitate her marriage to Wen Lvzhong, and I will agree to marry Qin Yunshu."

This was Cheng Han's condition.

Chu Li's voice was full of chill, his black eyes cold and sharp.

"Cheng Han."

He had guessed that Cheng Han's condition was related to Cheng Wan, but he had not expected it to be letting Cheng Wan leave.

"Do not interfere in my affairs with Cheng Wan."

He sat up straight coldly, carrying a warning.

Cheng Han also looked at him, his nonchalant expression gradually becoming serious.

He was not proposing the condition casually, but was discussing it very seriously.

After a few seconds, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and began to smile in a laid-back way again.

"Cheng Wan and Qin Yunshu, you choose one."

Choose one of two...

Is it the ex-wife.

Or the childhood sweetheart.

Chu Li was expressionless, his tone suddenly becoming calm.

"You and Cheng Wan, do you like her?"

Aside from a man liking a woman, Chu Li could not think of any reason for Cheng Han to help Cheng Wan.

Yet he wanted Cheng Wan to marry Wen Lvzhong.

It also did not seem like that kind of liking.

Cheng Han poured himself more wine and tasted it with self-satisfaction.

"Just consider it that I can't stand seeing a woman being bullied."

Chu Li did not speak.

He could not possibly agree to such a condition.

"Cheng Han, compared to the Cheng Family, who is more important?"

Cheng Han raised an eyebrow. "Then compared to her, who is more important, Qin Yunshu or her?"

The atmosphere turned somewhat stiff.

Chu Li leaned back in his chair, the wine glass in his hand being swirled by him, the liquid rippling.

He raised his hand and finished the wine.

"I can let her go, but I do not agree to her marriage with Wen Lvzhong."

He was already bothered by the matter between Cheng Wan and Wen Lvzhong, so how could he personally let her be with Wen Lvzhong.

How could he personally facilitate their marriage.

Cheng Han raised the wine glass in his hand, a trace of sarcasm tugging at the corner of his brow.

"It seems that a newcomer can never compare to a childhood sweetheart after all. I respect your choice."

The marriage with Wen Lvzhong was merely a tactic of his to retreat in order to advance.

What he wanted was for Cheng Wan to leave Chu Li.

Chu Li naturally knew this, but he had no choice.

He owed Qin Yunshu too much.

He even wanted to use this marriage alliance to compensate Qin Yunshu.

To pay off the debt of gratitude once and for all.

When Cheng Wan received the recording sent by Cheng Han, she had just finished telling Wen Ping'an a bedtime story.

She listened quietly to Chu Li's words, "I can let her go, but I do not agree to her marriage with Wen Lvzhong," and sat there in a daze for quite a while.

Between her and Qin Yunshu, Chu Li always chose Qin Yunshu unconditionally.

She had known this for a long time.

At this moment, there was nothing but a numb pain in her heart.

After a long while, she let out a long sigh, all of it relief.

She sent a "thank you" to Cheng Han.

Although she did not know what Cheng Han's purpose was, in any case, he had pulled her out of the quagmire.

She was free.

She dragged out her suitcase and began to pack her things.

Halfway through packing, she called Wen Lvzhong.

Wen Lvzhong had just finished packing his things and was preparing to set off.

Cheng Wan told him about Chu Li letting her leave, and asked him to pack some of Wen Ping'an's things, then come over to pick her up.

Wen Lvzhong agreed.

Cheng Wan sped up the pace of her packing.

The joy of being about to leave overwhelmed those sour, painful feelings.

She felt happy in body and mind.

After packing her things, she woke up Wen Ping'an, "We are going to Bali Town with Dad."

Wen Ping'an scrambled up from the bed all at once, his eyes shining, "Really?"

"Mm." Cheng Wan nodded heavily and helped Wen Ping'an put on his clothes.

"Then what about Uncle Chu?" Wen Ping'an asked, "Is Uncle Chu going?"

"He is not going."

"Alright." Wen Ping'an was quite reluctant to part with Uncle Chu, but thinking that he would see his dad soon and live with his mom and dad in the future, he became happy again.

Cheng Wan knew the servants would tip off Chu Li, and besides, there was surveillance in the house, so she waited until Wen Lvzhong arrived.

By the time the servant realized what was happening, Cheng Wan's luggage had already been moved to the car by Wen Lvzhong.

She took Wen Ping'an by the hand and stepped out of the house.

"Miss Cheng, where are you going?" The servant panicked.

The only answer to her was the departing car.

The servant hurriedly called Chu Li, "Sir, Miss Cheng has left with her suitcase."

The wine glass slipped from his hand.

The transparent wine flowed out.

Chu Li stood up abruptly, not even grabbing his coat, and rushed out in a hurry.

At the doorway, he was blocked by Cheng Han.

"A Li, we haven't finished our wine yet."

Chu Li grabbed him by the collar and punched him in the face, gritting his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

"Cheng Han."

Cheng Wan leaving at this time must have something to do with Cheng Han.

Cheng Han fought back, landing an even harder punch on Chu Li's face, "Scum."

A few minutes later, the two were separated by Assistant Wu and his men.

But their gazes remained fierce, wishing they could beat the other to death.

Assistant Wu's forehead was covered in sweat, "Calm down, calm down, let's talk things over nicely."

Chu Li left first, "Let's go."

Assistant Wu looked at Cheng Han: "Young Master Cheng..."

Cheng Han touched the corner of his lip with the back of his hand, watching that staggering back.

"He has been drinking, don't let him drive."

Assistant Wu really wanted to say that President Chu never drove after drinking.

But Cheng Han had already left, his mood very good, humming a cheerful tune.
