Chapter 205 Chu Family Engagement Ceremony

Old Madam Chu bullied Yang Ying so much, and Chu Lin protected Chu Yan and Gao Yang, but he didn't even come to protect his own mother?
Yang Ying said: "He and Cheng Yue went to the Cheng family's grave to pay respect to their ancestors."

At the gate of the Chu family, Second Aunt Chu and Chu Li, who were kicked out by the bodyguards, supported Old Madam Chu.

Chu Li stamped her feet and said, "Grandma, Yuan Xi is too unfilial. If she hadn't been raised by your side since she was a child, how could she treat you like this? She actually asked the bodyguards to kick us out. It seems that she is really not as good as Sister Yanyan.

If Sister Yanyan was still at home today, she would not have harmed Brother Lin with Yuan Xi like this. Sister Yanyan would never agree to a secretary entering the Chu family and becoming the Chu family's young lady, bringing disgrace to the Chu family.

It's not like Yuan Xi who hurt her own brother like this. She has been back to the Chu family for almost a year, but she is unwilling to change her name back to Chu. It is obvious that she doesn't care about the reputation of our Chu family at all."

Second Aunt Chu said, "Mother-in-law, Lily is right. Yuan Xi used to be a secretary. Maybe she was the one who persuaded my sister-in-law to agree to Cheng Yue's marriage."

Old Mrs. Chu was so angry that her hands were shaking, "I won't watch them harm my precious grandson!"

Saturday.

Yuan Xi woke up very early, but because it was a day off, she didn't want to get up much in Huo Shiyan's arms. She closed her eyes and sorted out Mi Chen's complicated official business in his arms.

At about eight o'clock, I heard Xiaoshi's voice coming from the door.

Huo Shiyan opened his eyes, checked the time and said, "Why is Huo Huo here?"

Yuan Xi said: "My mother should have also invited your parents to attend Chu Lin's engagement ceremony."

Yuan Xi got up and opened the door to the master bedroom, and saw Xiao Shihuo jumping around in the living room.

"Sister, sister, I can't wait to go play with Yingying!"

Yuan Xi glanced at the time on his watch and saw that it was only eight o'clock. "Xiao Huohuo, why are you here so early?"

Xiao Shihuo said: "I wanted to play with Xiao Yingying, so I woke up very early."

Aunt Chen, who was taking care of Xiaohuo, smiled helplessly and said, "Xiaohuo knew that he would come to Jiangcheng today, so he got up at five o'clock in the morning and kept saying that he wanted to play with Xiaoyingying. Ms. Shi asked me to send him to Jiangcheng first."

Huo Shiyan came out and heard Aunt Chen's voice and sneered, "Ms. Shi is too spoiled."

Yuan Xi yawned and put on some simple makeup. The engagement ceremony was a dinner party, so she didn't immediately put on the inconvenient dress. She just left the dress in the car and changed into it when the formal dinner party started.

It was around nine o'clock when we arrived at the Chu family.

Many guests have already arrived.

Although the engagement ceremony was a dinner party, the closer relatives of the Chu and Yang families also had a banquet at noon.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan each held Xiao Shihuo's hand and walked to the entrance of the Chu family manor. Gu Hanchen, who was "welcoming guests" at the door, reached out and rubbed Xiao Shihuo's face.

Xiao Shi pouted angrily and said, "Why do you always touch my face every time you see me? I hate you so much!"

Gu Hanchen laughed and said, "You can't hate me. I am Yingying's uncle. If you hate me, I won't let Yingying play with you."

Xiaoshihuo pouted even more angrily, "Brother."

Huo Shiyan said: "Don't listen to him, Yingying will still play with you."

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen and asked, "Why are you the one welcoming guests at the door? Where's Chu Lin?"

Gu Hanchen said: "It's still being styled."

Gu Hanchen pulled Huo Shiyan back and said, "You accompany me here to meet the guests."

Huo Shiyan did not refuse and followed Gu Hanchen to greet the guests at the door.

Yuan Xi took Xiao Shihuo's hand and went into the dressing room.

Cheng Yue is putting on makeup and styling her hair.

"Sister." Yuan Xi shouted at Cheng Yue in the mirror.

Cheng Yue turned around and smiled gently at Yuan Xi. Then, looking at the little boy beside Yuan Xi, she smiled faintly and said, "This child looks like Mr. Huo."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "He is Shi Yan's biological brother, named Shi Huo. Little Huo Huo, call me sister." Little Huo Huo walked over and called out sweetly, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Cheng Yue smiled gently: "You are also very handsome, a handsome boy."

Xiaoshihuo smiled shyly.

Yuan Xi said to Cheng Yue, "I'll take him to play with other kids first. I won't disturb you from putting on makeup."

Cheng Yue nodded slightly.

Yuan Xi took Shi Huo's hand and found Gu Nuan and Gu Ying, and let Shi Huo play with Gu Ying.

After receiving the message from Liang Suisui, Yuan Xi went to the door to meet Liang Suisui.

Gu Hanchen was slightly surprised to see Liang Suisui at the door and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liang Suisui asked, "Why can't I come?"

Gu Hanchen said: "Aren't you embarrassed to come? Chu Lin was originally pursuing you. If Cheng Yue wasn't pregnant, you might be the bride today!"

Liang Suisui stretched out his index finger and waved it, "Impossible, I won't marry someone with a brain full of water. But even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. Chu Lin invited me to the engagement ceremony, why shouldn't I come? If I don't come, I'll be guilty."

Gu Hanchen said: "Hahaha, well said."

When Yuan Xi heard Liang Suisui's words, he smiled slightly and took Liang Suisui's hand and walked inside.

Liang Suisui looked at the purple and blue decorations in the manor and said, "The decorations for the engagement ceremony are the same as the wedding ceremony. It's quite grand."

Yuan Xi looked at the configuration of the engagement ceremony in the manor and found that it was indeed no different from a wedding.

Yuan Xi was curious. If today's arrangement was suitable for holding a wedding, then why didn't they just call it a wedding, but an engagement ceremony?

Liang Suisui said, "Let's go see the bride. Chu Lin asked her to send me gifts several times, but I never paid attention to her appearance. I remember that she was like a transparent person."

Inside the bride's dressing room.

The makeup artist who was doing Cheng Yue's makeup asked, "Have you really decided to marry Chu Lin? Have you forgotten what you said about Chu Lin in front of us before?"

Cheng Yue said: "I didn't marry him. We were just engaged, not married. Mr. Yang gave me too much. It was hard for me to refuse..."

Cheng Yue has grown up in a well-off family. Her mother is a doctor and her father works in the system. With both of them being employed, the family has never been short of money. But who would complain about having too much money?

Especially during the two years when she was studying for her master's degree abroad, she could only live frugally and count the days when she could return home to eat and drink to her heart's content.

The rich second generation studying abroad with them have domestic chefs cooking different dishes for them every day. If they want to eat some domestic fruits, they will have private jets charter to deliver the ingredients.

After returning to China, she should have followed her father's wishes and been admitted to the Jiangcheng Energy Bureau to get a stable job, but she still chose to join Chu Neng.

Chu Neng's salary was twice that of the one in the Energy Bureau, and she was convinced that she could climb up. However, after finally becoming the vice president, she was assigned to be the secretary of Chu Lin who was parachuted in.

However, Cheng Yue also knew that if she did a good job as Chu Lin's secretary, she could at least become the general manager of the Chu Neng branch, or the deputy general manager of the headquarters...

But ever since she became Chu Lin's secretary, Zhou Jiameng has been targeting her everywhere, even deliberately framing her in the workplace.

When Cheng Yue first knew that Zhou Jiameng had drugged her, she wanted to take revenge on Zhou Jiameng herself, but she still listened to her parents and took the civil service exam.

During the seven or eight years that Chu Neng worked for her, she had had enough of the intrigues and worries in private enterprises.

But I didn't expect to have a child, and I didn't expect to be seen by Yang Ying.

The makeup artist asked, "Is it worth sacrificing your entire life just to get revenge on Zhou Jiameng?"

Cheng Yue said: "It's not worth it, but it's a relief, and Chu Lin is young, handsome and rich. Except that he is indecisive sometimes, too stupid to distinguish between white lotus and green tea, and doesn't know what's good for him..."

"Ah!"

Cheng Yue heard a male voice and turned around to see Chu Lin wearing a tailor-made tuxedo. She didn't look embarrassed as if she was caught talking bad about someone behind his back. She stood up and said, "Mr. Chu."
