Chapter 222 - 222 Marriage Alliance
222 Marriage Alliance
The area outside the Yun Manor’s gate was dim, but there was a figure standing there.
That figure didn’t leave even after a long time.
It was as though the person was waiting for Shen Ruojing to turn her head.
Wen Yuyi lowered her head and looked at the picture on her phone.
This picture was taken by a financial channel’s reporter when Chu Cichen was at the airport. Although the channel deleted the photo later, people who were interested in Chu Cichen had managed to download and save it.
The man in the photograph looked handsome and graceful, exuding boundless charisma.
On the other hand, the figure outside the manor seemed somewhat desolate in comparison.
Wen Yuyi couldn’t help but laugh.
How would she ever think that the blurry silhouette of a figure outside resembled the person in the photograph?
Because the lighting outside was dim, she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly.
Even if their figures were similar, how could this man be comparable to Chu Cichen?
Wen Yuyi twitched her lips in disdain. Mother Wen’s voice then rang out from her phone. “Yuyi, have you seen the photo yet? Stop entangling yourself with Qian Nanyin. Chu Cichen’s status is many times higher compared to him.”
Qian Nanyin is Yun Wei’s fiance, someone from the Qian Family.
The Qian and Yun Families had a marriage alliance agreement, which would allow many of their businesses to work together, so they could prosper in unison. This was also the reason why Qian Nanyin didn’t dissolve his engagement with Yun Wei despite him being in love with Wen Yuyi.
Wen Yuyi narrowed her eyes. “Mother, me and Brother Nanyin are truly in love and happy…”
Mother Wen directly interrupted her, “I sent you to the Yun Family for the sake of allowing you to find someone of a higher status. In the past, no one had a higher status compared to Qian Nanyin in Ford City, so I quietly permitted you to do what you did. But he can’t even handle a simple matter like renouncing the marriage engagement, so why do you want a useless man like him? You should wake up.”
Wen Yuyi then pouted. “I understand.”
After she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mother, Shen Qianhui has returned. Will this affect us? A part of the shares belonging to grandma was given to you back then. Would they want to take everything back?”
Mother Wen coldly laughed. “She best knows what’s good and leaves after staying here for a few days. Do you think I have no tactics if she wants to play the game with me?”
Only then did Wen Yuyi relax.
Although Yun Wei was the most prestigious young miss of the Yun Family, her limelight was all stolen by Wen Yuyi.
However, Wen Yuyi was afraid of Shen Ruojing because her appearance was too striking. She was worried that Shen Ruojing wanted to abandon the father of her children for the sake of finding someone better.
–
On the second day.
Shen Ruojing was bringing the two children down the stairs.
Yesterday, when Shen Qianhui came here, she said that they would only be staying for one night, as she didn’t wish to have too many interactions with the Yun Family. However, just when Shen Ruojing got down, she saw Madam Yun and Shen Qianhui holding hands and chatting happily.
Shen Qianhui spoke to her, “Your father has gone to the filming set in a car. Ah yes, let us stay in this house for a few more days.”
Shen Ruojing asked, “Why?”
Madam Yun smiled. “There shouldn’t be so many ‘whys’. Can’t your mother simply come back to this home of hers to stay? You and the kids shouldn’t be in a hurry to leave. We are family.”
Shen Ruojing. “??”
She looked at her mother in astonishment and then saw her nodding her head. Evidently, she agreed with Madam Yun’s words very much.
Her mother suddenly changed her mind?
Very soon, she understood what was going on…
“Paternal grandma is coming? Awesome!” Chu Tianye excitedly shouted, “I already missed her although it has only been a day since we last met!”
Chu Yu ruthlessly exposed him. “You missed her wallet, right?”
“…”
When the two children chatted with Madam Yun, Shen Ruojing had a half smile on her face as she cast a glance at Shen Qianhui.
No wonder her mother suddenly decided to stay. So, she was planning to work together with Matriarch Chu to fix the relationship between her and Chu Cichen…
Shen Qianhui coughed dryly and smiled dotingly at her daughter.
Shen Ruojing didn’t really mind. Matriarch Chu and Shen Qianhui were people with principles and wouldn’t press her to accept Chu Cichen.
(Let’s just treat this as a holiday trip that will last a few days long.)
After Shen Ruojing finished breakfast with the two children, she lazily sat on the sofa and drank her tea. After that, she heard Shen Qianhui, Madam Yun, and Yun Wei chatting.
She then lowered her head and sent a text to Rong Rong, asking her about her recent situation.
Rong Rong replied that everything was good.
Seeing this text, Shen Ruojing felt relaxed.
Although Rong Rong had just exited prison, she wasn’t a weak flower or she wouldn’t have killed so many people back then…
As she was contemplating, the butler’s voice drifted from the entrance. “Madam, Madam Qian and Mr. Qian came.”
Shen Qianhui immediately stood up. “I’ll head up first since you have guests.”
Madam Yun quickly held her hand. “The Qian Family is Little Wei’s fiance’s family. Younger sis, you shouldn’t leave. We are all family.”
Shen Qianhui immediately smiled. “Oh, so they are Little Wei’s future family. In that case, I really have to see which family’s youth is so handsome and talented that he can marry Little Wei.”
However, Shen Ruojing noticed that when the other party was mentioned, a look of sadness flashed on Madam Yun’s face.
Also, when she looked at Yun Wei, she couldn’t see the abashed look that young girls typically would have. Instead, Yun Wei put on a heavy expression, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
Not long later, a middle-aged woman and a young man of around 23 to 24 years old walked in.
Madam Qian looked shrewd, and upon entering, she smiled before saying anything. “Madam Yun, we are here today to urge marriage again. This is already the third time, so you definitely have to confirm a date with me today!”
The young man behind her was handsome, and it was clear with a single glance that he felt he had a lofty status, so he liked to look down on people. At this moment, there was an unhappy look on his face. After entering, the first thing he did was to glare at Yun Wei.
Madam Qian spoke, “It has only been a few days, yet you already missed Little Wei? In that case, you guys should head out to chat first. I’ll discuss your marriage with Madam Yun!”
As the sound of her voice rang out, violin music suddenly rang out from above.
Qian Nanyin’s eyes brightened. “It is definitely Yuyi…she must be practicing music with Yun Yiheng again. I’m heading up to take a look!”
After speaking, he took the lead to head upstairs. Evidently, he was very familiar with the Yun Manor.
Upon seeing this, Yun Wei’s expression darkened and became even heavier. She coldly laughed and couldn’t help but complain to Shen Ruojing. “She really knows how to pick the right time to practice music.”
Madam Yun also looked at Madam Qian and unhappily spoke, “Is Madam Qian here for the marriage date or to listen to music?”
Madam Qian awkwardly smiled. She knew that her son was impolite, so she immediately explained, “Nanyin is still young, so his heart isn’t mature yet. He likes lively scenes but don’t worry. Yun Wei is the daughter-in-law that our family recognized!”
After saying that, she turned to Yun Wei. Madam Qian’s gaze flashed. “Little Wei, speaking of which…you should stop showing such a dark look on your face. Why don’t you learn from Miss Wen and treat everyone with warmth and gentleness? Who wouldn’t like someone like that?”
Yun Wei clenched her fists tightly.
Madam Qian continued, “Since Nanyin likes to listen to the violin, why don’t you take some time to learn the instrument? Girls are very beautiful when they play the violin. At home, Nanyin always says that Miss Wen looks very elegant when she’s playing the violin. Since Miss Wen is staying in the Yun Manor and she’s so elegant, why don’t you consult her for some tips and guidance…?”
At this moment, the expressions of Madam Yun and Yun Wei changed.
Clearly, Qian Nanyin was the one who went overboard, but Madam Qian’s words made it sound as though Qian Nanyin wasn’t fond of Yun Wei because Yun Wei wasn’t elegant enough.
Sadly, Madam Yun wasn’t good at arguing. She was so angry at this moment that she was speechless.
Madam Qian occupied the advantage, so a smile appeared on her lips.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing suddenly halted her action of playing with her mobile phone.
