Chapter 153: From Now On, You Must Call Her Sister-in-Law

Chu Li's brows were furrowed; he knew Cheng Wan would not agree easily.

But so what? As long as she had a request for him, she would have to agree.

"You can take some time to consider it."

He was in no rush.

Cheng Wan only considered it for ten seconds.

"I agree to your terms."

Chu Li froze; Cheng Wan had agreed too quickly, catching him off guard.

"You..."

The words on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken after all.

"Three days, then." Cheng Wan bargained over the timing.

Chu Li laughed in anger, "In your heart, have I become such a beast that I would lay a hand on a pregnant woman?"

Cheng Wan pursed her lips; what else could it be?

Surely he didn't want her for a lifetime.

Chu Li walked up to her, his eyes brimming with deep affection.

"Let's remarry."

Remarry?

Every fiber of Cheng Wan's being resisted these two words.

The smile on her face slowly faded, and she just looked at Chu Li quietly.

It was incredibly ironic.

"If I recall correctly, you are going on blind dates."

The young ladies carefully selected by Madam Chu—he himself had even said they were suitable for marriage.

And now, he was talking to her about remarrying.

It was simply a joke.

Chu Li walked slowly to the window, his gaze deep, like a pool of dark spring water.

"It's just blind dating."

Under his mother's deliberate arrangements, he had inadvertently met quite a few young women.

And he had seen his own heart more and more clearly.

Facing those girls, he felt not a single heartbeat of excitement; some of them even deliberately imitated Cheng Wan's mannerisms.

His heart remained calm and undisturbed.

Cheng Wan let out an ironic scoff, "Chu Li, you are as devious as ever."

He only knew how to use her weak points to threaten her.

"Yes, I have always been that kind of person."

He admitted it.

Cheng Wan's chest heaved with anger, and she turned to leave.

Chu Li reminded her gloomily from behind, "Lin Qingya has confessed voluntarily, so the verdict will come down very quickly. Once the verdict is delivered, if she has no intention to appeal, she will have no choice but to go to prison."

Cheng Wan clenched her fingers.

She only had two choices now.

Either persuade Qin Yun Shu to settle, or agree to remarry Chu Li.

Both were difficult.

Cheng Wan left.

Chu Li turned back around, looking into the distance through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Since there was a chance to bring her back to his side, why waste it?

Not fighting or competing had only resulted in her being seen out and about with other men.

Why bother?

He had never been a generous person.

Cheng Wan stood at the entrance of the Chu Group, letting the cold wind blow for a while before her anger slowly subsided.

Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Qin Yun Shu.

She was wearing a beige wool coat, her small leather boots clicking on the ground; seeing Cheng Wan, she looked very smug and boastful.

"Cheng Wan, it's useless for you to come here."

"Even if you kneel before my brother, he won't let Lin Qingya go."

"The most important person in his heart has always been me."

Cheng Wan looked at her smug face and suddenly laughed.

"Are you sure?"

Qin Yun Shu was one hundred percent certain, "Look, when has he ever blamed me for anything?"

Cheng Wan thought about it; it was indeed true.

But Qin Yun Shu's smile was truly blindingly irritating.

"I don't believe it." She sneered, looking particularly disdainful.

Qin Yun Shu lifted her delicate chin, full of confidence, "You're the one who's been kicked out."

A faint smile rose to the corners of Cheng Wan's lips: "Why don't you go ask him now, so I can give up hope?"

Qin Yun Shu didn't think too much about it and took Cheng Wan upstairs.

She walked straight into Chu Li's office, "Brother."

Chu Li frowned slightly, "Something up?"

His gaze sharpened as he looked at Cheng Wan behind Qin Yun Shu.

Cheng Wan stepped forward two paces and said unhurriedly, "I agree."

Qin Yun Shu felt something strange in her heart; agree to what?

She looked at Chu Li.

Chu Li's expression softened, and he said, "Good."

He pressed the intercom and called for Assistant Wu, "Take a lawyer to handle Lin Qingya's matter."

Assistant Wu agreed and left.

Qin Yun Shu cast a triumphant smile at Cheng Wan.

Look, it was still the same.

Cheng Wan chuckled, her tone very satisfied, "Many thanks, President Chu."

Thanks?

Qin Yun Shu stood there stunned, taking a long while to realize that Chu Li sending Assistant Wu to the Police Station wasn't to put Lin Qingya in jail, but rather...

To release her without charges.

"Brother, she hurt me, you can't do this."

Tears welled up in her eyes, far from the arrogance she had downstairs.

Chu Li's expression was very indifferent, "Aren't you standing here perfectly fine?"

The tone was more detached than it had ever been.

Qin Yun Shu could not accept this; she looked at Cheng Wan with some resentment.

"It's you."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow, "Mm, it's me."

She had originally been somewhat unwilling, but Qin Yun Shu's smug, petty face was truly disgusting.

Didn't she pride herself on always having Chu Li's favor?

She would personally shatter her beautiful dream.

Thinking this way, the matter of remarrying didn't seem so hard to accept after all.

"From now on, you must call her sister-in-law."

Qin Yun Shu gritted her teeth.

She never imagined that the matter she had planned for so long would be ruined by Cheng Wan just as it had begun.

She and Cheng Wan were born incompatible.

What she imagined even less was that Chu Li was actually still trying to win Cheng Wan back.

His love for Cheng Wan was so deep.

She was unwilling, and she was jealous.

"Brother."

"You really should call her sister-in-law." Chu Li didn't even give Qin Yun Shu a glance.

He stood clearly on Cheng Wan's side.

Qin Yun Shu's expression twisted uncontrollably.

Cheng Wan had seen enough of Qin Yun Shu's frustrated look and turned to leave.

Chu Li's gaze instantly caught her, "Where are you going?"

"To pick up Qingya."

"Let's go together." Chu Li grabbed his coat and walked to Cheng Wan's side.

Qin Yun Shu stomped her feet in anger, "Brother."

Chu Li paused his steps, "Have the driver take you back; the wedding is in three days, be sensible."

He naturally took Cheng Wan's hand and left.

Qin Yun Shu's eyes turned red.

She knew that Cheng Wan's return meant nothing good.

Gritting her teeth, she told Madam Chu about this matter.

She believed Madam Chu would be more anxious than she was.

At the entrance of the Police Station, Cheng Wan waited for Lin Qingya.

She was exceptionally thin, and her spirit was not very good.

Seeing Cheng Wan, there were tears in her eyes—it was helplessness, and also heartache.

"Wanwan."

Cheng Wan's eyes turned red as she hugged her, "You fool."

Lin Qingya began to choke up, and after a long while, she let go and said, "Thank you."

Her gaze landed on Chu Li not far away, her heart full of sadness.

"What condition did you agree to for him?"

Cheng Wan's expression was calm, "Remarriage."

Lin Qingya's lips trembled, "I'm sorry."

Cheng Wan helped her into the car, "Mm, if you know you're sorry to me, then live well and don't do anything foolish again."

Lin Qingya didn't speak, only looking out the window.

Cheng Wan brought Lin Qingya to her home and let her go take a bath and rest.

After settling Lin Qingya down and coming out, Chu Li was still in the living room, toying with Ping'an's toy with deep eyes.

The nanny had never seen such a noble-looking man and stood to the side, at a loss.

Seeing Cheng Wan come out, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Cheng."

"Prepare dinner," Cheng Wan instructed the nanny.

"Yes."

Cheng Wan walked in front of Chu Li and put away Ping'an's toy; the child was taking a nap at the moment, so she spoke in a very soft voice.

"I want to stay with Qingya for two days."

She was truly worried about Lin Qingya's state.

Chu Li raised his eyes languidly, "Do you need to sign an agreement?"
