Chapter 173: Wen Lü's Matchmaking for Chu Fangfei

Cheng Wan stood by the second-floor railing, watching Chu Yue give instructions to the servants.

If she remembered correctly, Chu Yue's husband had a terminal illness and was currently undergoing treatment.

Yet, not a hint of low spirits could be seen on Chu Yue.

Madam Chu had the same thought, "Zhou Cheng is truly pitiful."

He was lying in the Yiyuan waiting to die, while his wife was here hosting a banquet, showing not the slightest pain of losing her husband.

Cheng Wan curled her lips.

Chu Yue was not a good person, and how much better could Madam Chu be?

Chu Yue ignored her terminally ill husband, and Madam Chu had pushed a pregnant woman directly to the ground.

No matter how one looked at it, they were equally heartless.

"A Lin."

Chu Bolin's voice came from the side.

Madam Chu looked over with cold eyes, showing great disdain for her soon-to-be ex-husband.

"What are you here for?"

The men of the Chu family had very good appearances, and Chu Bolin was no exception.

Even though he was over fifty, time had left no traces on him.

This was also the reason he could still find young women.

Chu Bolin gently took Madam Chu's hand, looking tender and affectionate, "A Lin, I want to keep you company."

Madam Chu slapped that disgusting hand away, "Stay away from me."

Chu Bolin sighed softly, his gentle, amorous eyes filled with affection, "A Lin, we have been husband and wife for so many years, can you really not forgive me?"

He spoke in a deep voice, looking suave, "Now that A Li has grown up and can handle things on his own, shall we go travel? I know a few places with particularly beautiful scenery; you will definitely like them."

Madam Chu remained unmoved, "Chu Bolin, you really disgust me."

She walked away quickly.

Chu Bolin watched her back, the affection in his eyes gradually turning cold, but when he turned his head back, he resumed his gentle appearance.

"Cheng Wan, help me persuade her."

Cheng Wan's expression was very indifferent, "How am I supposed to persuade her?"

Her tone was exceptionally stiff.

Chu Bolin said in a low voice, "She values A Li the most; you have A Li's child in your belly, for the sake of the child, she will agree to you."

A child?

Cheng Wan curled her lips sarcastically; in Chu Bolin's eyes, should Madam Chu endure humiliation for the sake of the child and forgive a husband who had been cheating for years?

It was truly suffocating.

"She doesn't like this child." Cheng Wan spoke the truth.

She stroked her lower abdomen, her voice very faint: "I cannot persuade her."

Chu Bolin was somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Cheng Wan, you are a daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you..."

"That's enough, Chu Bolin, she is A Li's wife and has nothing to do with you, a person who is about to leave the Chu family."

Madam Chu returned and took Cheng Wan away.

Cheng Wan went to a room to rest.

After about an hour or so, she was woken up by Chu Li.

Sitting there a bit dazed for a while, she finally came to her senses, "You're here."

Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you alright?"

He had returned immediately upon receiving the news, but encountered a traffic jam on the way and couldn't reach Cheng Wan; it wasn't until Madam Chu called him later to let him know that he felt slightly at ease.

"I'm fine, what time is it? My phone was taken by your aunt," Cheng Wan asked.

"It's six o'clock." Chu Li helped her up and took off his coat to drape over her, "I'll take you to get something to eat."

Cheng Wan stood up, leaning on his arm, went to the washroom to casually splash her face with water, and only then went downstairs with Chu Li.

The lights downstairs were bright, and it was already a lively scene.

Chu Yue was socializing in the crowd with Chu Fangfei; her gentle smile easily made people feel a sense of intimacy, so many people had a good impression of her.

Before long, she had already met quite a few people.

Chu Fangfei followed Chu Yue with poise and grace.

Cheng Wan only took one look before withdrawing her gaze.

She ate a small cupcake, and her stomach felt a bit better.

Just as she was about to say she was leaving, Chu Yue walked over with Chu Fangfei.

Without Cheng Wan having to ask, Chu Yue proactively handed over the phone.

"Wanwan, Auntie taking your phone was for your own good; after all, you are pregnant, so you should play with your phone less, it has radiation."

The words were high-sounding.

Cheng Wan took the phone back with an expressionless face, "That's not what you said at the time."

Chu Yue was not afraid of Cheng Wan complaining at all, "I had no choice either; after all, today is too important for Fangfei. On such an important day, your appearance is a great encouragement to her."

"Wanwan, Auntie will compensate you, I won't let you come for nothing."

Chu Yue smiled gently, as if Cheng Wan really wanted her compensation.

Cheng Wan couldn't be bothered to talk to Chu Yue; no matter what she said, Chu Yue would interpret it to mean what she wanted it to mean.

To put it simply, she didn't understand human speech.

Communicating with such a person only tired oneself out.

"Brother, Cheng Wan, thank you both for coming." Chu Fangfei was very tactful and immediately followed up on Chu Yue's words.

Cheng Wan tugged at Chu Li's clothes, "Can we go now?"

Chu Li gripped her palm tightly, "Wait a little longer."

Cheng Wan frowned, looking displeased.

Chu Li said in a low voice, "Wen Lvzhong is coming."

Cheng Wan immediately thought of the blind date matter Wen Lvzhong had mentioned that morning; he was likely coming here to see Chu Fangfei.

Her desire to leave then subsided.

"Alright."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Lvzhong had already walked over.

His tall and upright figure immediately attracted Chu Fangfei's attention.

"Wen Lvzhong?" she called out that name in surprise.

Wen Lvzhong nodded, his temperament gentle and refined, "Fangfei."

He addressed her intimately.

Chu Fangfei could not restrain herself, and her face instantly turned red.

Chu Yue asked with a smile, "It's the Wen Family's young master, Lvzhong, right?"

Wen Lvzhong nodded, "Auntie Chu, hello."

He had a scholarly and polite temperament, and Chu Fangfei could not help but glance at him several times.

Wen Lvzhong presented a gift to Chu Fangfei, "Congratulations."

Chu Fangfei's heart was thumping.

"Thank you."

She had liked Wen Lvzhong back in university and had even confessed to him, but she had been rejected.

Now that they had met again, Chu Fangfei was very excited.

Chu Yue noticed something amiss in their interaction; she said a polite pleasantry and pulled Chu Fangfei away.

"You like him?" Chu Yue's tone sank.

Chu Fangfei admitted it openly and honestly, "Mm, I like him."

"Absolutely not." Chu Yue kept a straight face and opposed it almost immediately.

Her reaction was too intense.

Chu Fangfei found it strange; she thought for a moment and then chuckled, "Mom, he and I are just classmates. I did like him, but he doesn't like me."

After her confession was rejected, Chu Fangfei had taken the initiative to distance herself from Wen Lvzhong.

Even though she felt a flutter in her heart upon seeing him again today, she did not have the impulse that she must marry him or no one.

After hearing this, Chu Yue felt slightly more at ease.

She instructed Chu Fangfei, "What you need to do now is to develop the Perfume Division well, so that when your brother returns, you can hand it over to him."

Chu Fangfei's expression fell, "I know."

She had always known that her mother would leave everything to her brother.

But she still felt somewhat unwilling.

She just didn't dare to say it out loud, and she didn't want to argue with her mother.
