Chapter 204 I will not agree to Chu Lin and Cheng Yue getting married

Yuan Xi chuckled and continued, "At that time, I rejected Zhu Jie's offer to let me be his girlfriend, but he insisted that I was shy and was willing to give me this opportunity to be his girlfriend. He also harassed me every day. I really had no choice but to let Shi Lei play a couple with me, and he gave up.

After we graduated from high school, we went our separate ways and never saw each other again.”

Yuan Xi did have a high school group at first, but later when WeChat was cleaned up, the high school group could no longer be found.

She didn't have many friends in high school. Everyone in her class was aiming to get into a university in the capital, so there was little socializing among classmates. All they did was study.

Yuan Xi only has the WeChat accounts of four or five of her high school classmates. In fact, they can be considered strangers. She just occasionally sees content they post on her Moments and clicks “like”.

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "I didn't expect to meet you when I came to visit the grave. It can be considered fate."

Seeing that the rain had subsided, Huo Shiyan put away his umbrella, put his hand on Yuan Xi's shoulder, and chuckled: "What kind of fate is this? Let's go to Xiaohao's house for dinner."

Yuan Xi chuckled and followed Huo Shiyan down the mountain and headed to the small courtyard where her grandparents rented a house.

The flowers in the small yard are in full bloom now.

It had stopped raining when they arrived at their grandparents' house.

When Yuan Xi went in, he saw his aunt setting up the altar and burning paper.

"Xiao Xi, you are here, please come in and sit down."

Yuan Xi was obviously much more relaxed in the Liang family than in the Chu family.

Grandma Liang held Yuan Xi's hand and asked, "Why didn't you bring the child?"

"The children are too young, so we won't let them travel back and forth." Yuan Xi chuckled, "I will bring the two babies to see you next year."

Grandma Liang smiled and said, "Okay, I don't know if my old bones will be able to see the day when Xiaohao's child is born. I am already very happy to see your two children."

Yuan Xi said: "You will definitely be able to see it. By the way, where is Xiaohao?"

Grandma Liang said, "He just remembered this morning that you like to eat snails during the Qingming Festival, so he went to Ruo Lake to catch snails. The water there is clean, so they don't need to be raised for a long time, and they are just right for eating."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Why not just buy a kilogram at the market? Why bother to find it yourself? It's too troublesome."

"The food in the market says it's from Ruohu, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's from Ruohu. The snails from Ruohu are the cleanest. The water from other lakes is polluted and dirty."

Liang Hao was wearing a black windbreaker and carrying a bamboo basket of snails in his hand.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel a little moved. During her most difficult years, she was able to hold on optimistically. Some people spend their entire lives trying to heal their childhood, but at that time, she relied entirely on the beauty of her childhood to remain optimistic about the future.

From childhood to adulthood, her relatives all remember her taste. Regardless of blood relationship, she has always been a child spoiled by her relatives.

When I was a child, I would visit my grandmother’s house with my parents during the Qingming Festival, and they would pick snails and peas for me.

Nothing has changed.

Tomorrow is the day Chu Lin and Cheng Yue are getting engaged. After having dinner at Liang's house, Yuan Xi went to the Chu's house to help.

Although he didn't like Chu Lin, he heard Chu Qing say yesterday that the doctor recommended that Yang Ying have a good rest. Since Yuan Xi had returned to Jiangcheng, he needed to go and help.

When Yuan Xi arrived at the Chu family, he saw Yang Ying sitting on the sofa, very angry.

Mrs. Chu on the side was still aggressive, "We just found out today that my eldest grandson is getting engaged? You didn't even plan to invite me?" "Yang Ying, your conscience is too cruel. Chu Lin is your biological son. How could you choose such a daughter-in-law for him?

Cheng Yue's father is about to retire. He is just a small section chief in the Jiangcheng Energy Bureau. Her mother is just an attending physician in the dermatology department of Jiangcheng Hospital and is about to retire.

Cheng Yue's family has no resources, no connections, and no money for our Chu family. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for marrying such a young lady to the Chu Neng Group?"

"Besides, Lin'er's marriage is such a big thing, why don't you discuss it with me?"

Yang Ying said: "There is no need to discuss my son's marriage with irrelevant people."

Old Madam Chu was so angry that she pointed her finger at Yang Ying and said, "Irrelevant? I am irrelevant?"

Old Mrs. Chu asked Chu Qing who was standing beside her, "Am I an irrelevant person?"

Chu Qing said, "Mom, Cheng Yue and Lin'er's marriage has been decided. The engagement ceremony will be tomorrow and the invitations have been sent out. It's useless for you to say more."

Old Madam Chu was so angry that she kept scolding Yang Ying, "You vicious woman, are you going to harm our Chu family? I will never agree to this marriage, you should cancel this engagement ceremony immediately!"

Lin'er's wife must be a match for him, a daughter of a rich family, or at least the daughter of a senior general manager like Zhou Jiameng. Even the daughter of the director of the Jiangcheng Energy Bureau is not worthy of Lin'er, so how can she be the daughter of a section chief who is about to retire?"

"As long as I am here today, I will never agree to let my precious grandson marry Cheng Yue!"

Yuan Xi was standing at the door with a frown on her face. She raised her phone and sent a message.

Soon, several burly bodyguards in black suits came in and asked Mrs. Chu to leave.

Yuan Xi walked to Yang Ying and said to her calmly, "Mom, don't be too angry. Just ask the bodyguards to drive them away."

Mrs. Chu saw several bodyguards in black suits coming over and looked at Yuan Xi in disbelief: "I am your grandmother. I came to my son's house, and you, the granddaughter, dared to let the bodyguards drive me away? How can you be so unfilial?"

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "What right do you have to call my mom a vicious woman? When my mom married dad, his family was far less well off than my mom's. Why didn't you say "well-matched" at that time?"

Yuan Xi persuaded Yang Ying, "Mom, the doctor told you to rest well and not get angry..."

Yang Ying covered her heart and looked at Chu Qing with disappointment. "Xiao Xi is right. When I married you, you were just a young man who had just started a business. It was because I married into your family that Chu Qing was able to grow to the size it is today. Now, I am over fifty years old and still have to be bullied by you!"

Yuan Xi asked Zhang Ma to pour a cup of warm water, and then she handed it to Yang Ying, "Mom, drink some water to calm down."

Yang Ying drank some water and gradually calmed down her angry mood.

Old Mrs. Chu over there definitely didn't want to be driven away by the bodyguards, so she sat on the ground and cried about her granddaughter being unfilial.

Fortunately, the bodyguards hired by Huo Shiyan were not pushovers. They directly lifted Old Mrs. Chu from the ground and invited her outside the Chu family.

Chu Qing was in great trouble.

Yuan Xi said: "Dad, you also know that Mom is in poor health and can't stand stimulation and emotional fluctuations."

Yuan Xi now understood that Chu Lin's indecisiveness and emphasis on friendship and loyalty were all learned from Chu Qing.

Chu Qing sighed, but in the end he did not go out to see Old Lady Chu. Instead, he advised Yang Ying, "Don't be angry. You will be busy with the engagement ceremony tomorrow."

Yuan Xi looked around but didn't see Chu Lin. "Dad, where's Chu Lin?"
