Chapter 728 - 728 Test 2
728 Test 2
Chu Li was her daughter. It was her fault for not doing her best as a mother and not discovering it earlier that led to this situation.
If she had discovered it earlier, things would not have turned out like this. Madam Wen blamed herself.
Chu Leizhen couldn’t stand these words even more. There was no one around. He pulled Madam Wen into his arms and said, “How can I blame you? You’re not a god or a roundworm in our daughter’s stomach. She’s a big girl. How can you know what she’s thinking?”
“Madam, don’t feel bad. It’s not that we don’t agree that our daughter likes this kid, but if he wants to be the son-in-law of my Chu family, he has to go through some tests. How can we let him marry our daughter so easily? Don’t worry, as long as the Sun family doesn’t come tonight, I’ll invite Sun Baoshan here tomorrow afternoon.”
Chu Leizhen told Madam Wen gently. He was not stupid. If Sun Baoshan was sincere, this night would be enough to prove it.
If he wasn’t sincere, then pretend he didn’t say anything.
With Sun Baoshan’s body, it was definitely not a problem for him to stand for a day and a half. With sincerity, a day and a half was enough.
If he couldn’t even stand for a day and a half, then it would be a dream for him to marry his daughter.
Madam Wen sighed. “I’ll go see our daughter.”
Now, it was up to Sun Baoshan to pass the test.
Chu Jin went over personally. He would definitely handle it well.
Chu Li was locked up. She didn’t cry or make a fuss. She was quiet.
Madam Wen got up and went to her daughter’s room.
When Madam Wen arrived, the maidservants retreated. Madam Wen entered and saw Chu Li sitting in front of the window. Madam Wen walked over and sat down. Then, she said, “Nini, he’s here.”
Chu Li looked at Madam Wen and smiled. “Mother, I know.”
Madam Wen sighed. “Nini, if he can’t withstand this test, let’s give up, okay?”
Madam Wen was really afraid that Sun Baoshan would not be able to withstand the test. Chu Li would not be able to recover because of him. If that really happened, what should she do?
Chu Li nodded and replied gently, “Mother, if he can’t withstand the test, I’ll listen to Father and Mother.”
Madam Wen was gratified and heartbroken to see how considerate Chu Li was. She pulled her daughter’s hand and patted it gently. “Your father asked him to stand there until noon tomorrow, your brother will also go to the Sun family to check on them.”
Chu Li lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She asked in a soft voice, “Where’s Young Master Hu?”
At the mention of Hu Changshou, Madam Wen could only sigh. “Nini, Changshou is also a very good man. He went back. You and him will let bygones be bygones. Even if you and Sun Baoshan don’t get together, Father and Mother won’t be able to ask about his feelings anymore.”
Chu Li was relieved. She smiled and said, “Mother, I’m not so lucky.”
“What luck? You’re just not fated to be.”
Madam Wen patted Chu Li’s hand. Who asked her daughter to like Sun Baoshan? Now that her sweetheart had come to propose marriage, how could her daughter not be flustered? If it were her, she would be the same.
It was easier said than done to accept someone else when you already had someone in your heart.
Chu Li lowered her eyes and remained silent. At this moment, she could only wait quietly.
She did not know what the outcome would be. No one knew if Sun Baoshan could withstand the test.

Meanwhile, Chu Jin had already arrived at the Sun residence.
After calling for the manservant to deliver the message, Chu Jin stood outside and waited. He did not enter the Sun residence.
When Sun Bocheng, Sun Ziqian, and Madam Lian heard the servant’s report, they immediately came out to welcome him.
They took it very seriously.
Chu Jin had a fierce look on his face. Before the Sun family could speak, he said unkindly, “That son of yours is still standing in my courtyard and refusing to leave. We martial arts practitioners don’t know the severity of our actions. We can’t hit him. If you don’t persuade him to leave, we won’t care. Let him stand there. However, I, Chu Jin, will say this today. If anything happens to Sun Baoshan, it has nothing to do with our Chu family. Hmph!”
Hearing Chu Jin’s words, Madam Lian’s heart tightened.
Sun Bocheng and Sun Ziqian frowned.
Chu Jin looked at them. He had already delivered the message. Let’s leave it at that.
Without waiting for the Sun family to say anything, Chu Jin turned around and left.
Sun Bocheng’s family watched Chu Jin leave quickly and did not speak.
When Chu Jin was out of sight, Madam Lian sighed softly. “Sigh.”
Sun Ziqian looked at Sun Bocheng and said hesitantly, “Father, Baoshan’s health isn’t good to begin with. He’s been gone for a day today. With the Chu family’s attitude, I’m afraid they won’t even give him a sip of water. Could it be that we really…”
Were they really going to ignore it?
After all, that was his son. Sun Ziqian’s heart ached. Even though the situation had changed and Sun Baoshan’s body was no longer as weak as before. After taking the divine medicine, his body seemed to have improved.
He was stubborn in the Chu family. It would not be life-threatening to stand there for a few days and nights. However, Sun Ziqian could not bear to see him do so.
Sun Bocheng stroked his beard and said calmly, “Let me ask you, if you call Shan back now, will he come back with you?”
Sun Ziqian was speechless. No, Sun Baoshan wouldn’t follow him back like this. He hadn’t obtained the answer he wanted this time. It was impossible for him to go home like this.
“Since we know, we’ll let him be. There’s nothing we can’t let go of now. We’ll see how it goes in a few days. At the very least, we’ll make him give up on all his hopes at once.” Sun Bocheng sighed in his heart. That was his only grandson. How could his heart not ache? His heart ached too, but could he stop him just because his heart ached?
Not only could they not stop him, but they also had to support him. If this matter continued, he would be tortured for the rest of his life.
Therefore, no matter what the outcome was, they would end his hopes once and for all.
“Instead of worrying, why don’t you invite that girl from the Su family to prescribe some good medicine for him to recuperate? That girl from the Su family is rarely at home all year round. With her around, at least Shan’s body won’t be injured,” Sun Bocheng looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said earnestly.
Usually, after a few days, Sun Baoshan would definitely fall sick. It was hard to say if he would fall ill.
However, it was the new year and Su Xiaolu was still at home. If he got some good medicine from her, he would definitely be able to protect his grandson’s body.
Madam Lian nodded. “Thank you, Father-in-law. I’ll go now.”
Madam Lian was worried about Sun Baoshan and her heart was in a mess. Now that Sun Bocheng had reminded her, Madam Lian knew what she had to do. As a mother, her heart ached for her child, but she could not bear it on behalf of Sun Baoshan. All she could do was think of a way to protect Sun Baoshan’s body.
Madam Lian wrapped herself up gently and left.
After Madam Lian left, Sun Bocheng looked at Sun Ziqian and said, “Ziqian, don’t interfere in Shan’s matters, understand?”
Sun Ziqian was puzzled. “Why?”
Sun Bocheng shook his head and said, “You all ignored the root of the matter because you were worried.”
Sun Bocheng thought about his guess. Seeing Sun Ziqian’s blank expression, he smiled helplessly and said, “If the Chu family doesn’t agree, how can Shan stay without leaving? They don’t seem to have done anything to Shan. They’re actually testing him.”
