Chapter 202: Always Getting Married

"You..."

Old Madam Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

She couldn't very well tell An'an again that her father was alive.

"Grandma, I have my own sense of propriety regarding Chu Li and me, so please don't worry about it."

To tell the truth, she didn't want Chu Li to see An'an.

No, that wasn't right; she didn't want anyone from the Chu family to see An'an.

An'an was her An'an.

Old Madam Cheng sighed: "It is I who considered too much. Since you have already made your decision, then follow your heart."

In any case, with her uncle Cheng Han around, An'an would not be wronged.

Cheng Wan returned to her room, put the gift the old master had sent into a box, and had someone send it back immediately.

Chu Family Old Residence.

Old Master Chu was very pleased, "Wanwan accepted the gift, which proves that in her heart, she still acknowledges A Li as the child's father. A Li, you must seize this opportunity well and win Wanwan back."

Madam Chu had seen photos of An'an, and she was now calm about it; after all, she also wanted An'an to be recognized by the family.

"A Li, this is a good sign; you must bring An'an back."

They all felt that with the child there, and since the child needed a father, he could rekindle his relationship with Cheng Wan.

But Chu Li knew clearly in his heart that Cheng Wan would not agree so easily.

Before he could say anything, the housekeeper walked in holding a box.

"This was sent by Miss Cheng."

Old Master Chu looked at the familiar box, his expression turning somewhat ugly, and he sighed heavily. Cheng Wan sending the items back meant her intentions were crystal clear.

Madam Chu opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

She looked at Chu Li with concern.

Chu Li's expression was calm; he had already guessed it, but he still couldn't help feeling a bit sad and disappointed inside.

Her attitude was so firm.

"I'm going back to my room."

He left the living room.

Madam Chu couldn't help but complain, "Cheng Wan's heart is too cruel. No matter what, A Li is An'an's father and also An'an's guardian."

"That's enough. It was A Li who let Wanwan down back then, so he should just take it now."

Chu Yue stepped in as the words were spoken; she had heard everything they said.

It had been three years; her husband had passed away, but she had no intention of returning, instead living at the Old Residence all along.

Madam Chu was dissatisfied, but she couldn't really kick her out.

So, after divorcing Chu Bolin, she had moved into another house.

Today, she had heard that Old Master Chu had gone to the Cheng Family, so she came back to hear the news.

"These things happened three years ago, and Cheng Wan is still holding onto them; it's truly excessive," Chu Yue said, sitting on the sofa with an air of entitlement.

"If you ask me, why not just let A Li get married? With a new wife and children, he would be able to let go of Cheng Wan."

Over the three years, Cheng Wan had gone abroad for further studies, and since she couldn't get her hands on the Perfume Notes, she had set her sights on Chu Li.

Even as a second marriage, there were still many people who wanted to marry into the Chu family.

Old Master Chu did not agree; he had his heart set on Cheng Wan as his granddaughter-in-law.

Chu Yue sighed and tried to persuade him earnestly, "I know you like Cheng Wan, but you must also consider the Chu family. Does that mean if Cheng Wan never nods her head for a lifetime, A Li will never marry for a lifetime?"

Old Master Chu was in a difficult position.

Years ago, he had settled his illegitimate children elsewhere, and the Chu family only had Chu Li as an heir.

If he never married, would the family line end with him?

Chu Yue added: "Dad, how about this? A Cheng has also returned to the country. Let him train alongside A Li, and while he's at it, teach A Li how to coax a woman."

Chu Yue's son took her surname, Chu, and was named Chu Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chu immediately agreed, as he had heard that Chu Cheng had a very good relationship with his fiancée and would be married soon after returning to the country.

Madam Chu frowned, but she did not object.

She also felt that Chu Li should learn how to coax a woman.

Chu Li knew nothing of this.

He lay on his bed, looking at the photos on his phone.

A wrinkled infant was wailing, looking very healthy.

The next one was from when An'an was one year old; she had just learned to walk, was still unsteady, and had fallen to the ground in tears.

He had many photos of An'an on his phone, all of which he had had people secretly collect.

When the night was deep and quiet, he would look at these photos to soothe his longing.

He really wanted the mother and daughter to return to his side.

But he couldn't rush.

He couldn't scare her away again.

Holding the phone to his chest, he soon fell asleep.

Cheng Wan was exceptionally busy after returning; her studio had expanded, so she established her own company, built production lines, and was busy coordinating with major raw material suppliers.

Fortunately, with Cheng Han there to pave the way, her company's operations went very smoothly, and it even gained fame quickly.

When the social engagement ended, Cheng Wan had drunk a bit too much.

Xiao Yu supported her, "Sister Cheng, the driver will be here soon, just hold on a little longer."

Cheng Wan leaned half of her weight on her, still two or three parts sober, "I'm fine."

The car stopped at the entrance.

Xiao Yu helped Cheng Wan into the car and instructed the driver, "Drive slowly on the road; Sister Cheng has had too much to drink and feels unwell."

The driver gave a faint "Mm."

Xiao Yu closed the car door and wanted to add a few more instructions, but the car drove off immediately.

That driver... Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, something wasn't right...

That wasn't Sister Cheng's driver.

Xiao Yu's drunkenness was more than half scared away; the car looked exactly like Cheng Wan's, so she hadn't bothered to check.

Damn it.

She hurriedly went to get her phone, intending to call Cheng Wan.

But just as she took the phone out, it was snatched away by someone.

Assistant Wu touched his nose, feeling a bit awkward, "Assistant Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu was stunned, "Assistant Wu?"

She suddenly realized and couldn't quite believe it: "Is it President Chu?"

Assistant Wu also hadn't expected his own President Chu to come up with such a method.

He felt quite ashamed.

"It is President Chu. Assistant Xiao Yu, President Chu just misses Miss Cheng too much."

Xiao Yu snatched the phone back, "That still won't do. Sister Cheng has already divorced him; he can't just take her away."

She insisted on making the call.

Assistant Wu could only snatch her phone away again and handed it to the bodyguard beside him.

"Assistant Xiao Yu, I'm sorry."

Xiao Yu was very angry; what "sorry," he was clearly not sorry at all.

"Assistant Xiao Yu, I will take you back." Assistant Wu's tone was very respectful, but his attitude was exceptionally firm.

Before Xiao Yu had even sobered up, she was shoved into a car by the bodyguard.

Cheng Wan knew nothing about this.

She had fallen asleep in the car.

The car stopped by the side of the road.

Chu Li took off his hat and looked back at that familiar face.

Three years unseen, she was even more mature and beautiful than in the photos.

Just now in the hotel, he had been in the room right next to her private dining room.

There was someone at that table who knew him well and secretly filmed a video for him.

It turned out that although those people at the table didn't dare to bully Cheng Wan openly out of respect for the Cheng Family, there were conventional methods that Cheng Wan couldn't avoid.

For example, drinking.

They had secretly forced a lot of alcohol on Cheng Wan.

Someone even egged her on to pick a man from their group to take back to warm her bed.

Chu Li's calm composure shattered in an instant.

He could tolerate Cheng Wan ignoring him, but he could not tolerate other men making that kind of joke about her.

So he took Cheng Wan away.
