| ← Ch.0160 | Ch.0162 → |
"Really, son? You're willing to get married?" Miao Lingling's eyes shone with brilliance at the sound of that. She could not hide the excitement from her face.
"Hmph, at least that's some progress. Settle down first and you can think about your career later." Elder Leng was obviously pleased too. His expression softened visibly and his voice became gentler.
"Son, which Chu family do you mean?" Miao Lingling finally enquired after the initial excitement wore off. Surely she had to clarify the identity of the woman first before she could head over with a marriage proposal.
"Chu Company, " Young Master Leng replied in a serious manner. He was normally impatient at being bombarded with questions.
"Chu Company?" This caught Miao Lingling in surprise."Oh, I know. My son, do you mean Chu Ninger?"
Chu Company was rather influential in Jin City hence Miao Lingling was familiar with the aforementioned family.
However, Miao Lingling could not resist but frowned worriedly."Even though Chu Ninger used to have a noble reputation, she seems to be involved in several scandals recently. It's rumored that she was entangled with several men at the same time. I also heard that she was brought in to the police station not long ago."
She would not allow his son to marry a problematic woman even if she was anxious about his relationship status.
Especially not a woman of terrible character.
"I didn't mean that disgusting woman." Young Master Leng darkened his gaze. Disdain was written all over his face.
"Who else if not Chu Ninger? There's only her in the Chu family..." Miao Lingling's eyes twinkled and she cried out in surprise, "Son, you don't mean First Young Lady Chu, do you?"
"Yes." Young Master Leng nodded in agreement. It was rather out of his character to be this patient and solemn.
Miao Lingling's face changed as a whole range of emotions flashed across it."What? Not First Young Lady Chu! Didn't they say that First Young Lady Chu is stupid? Besides, the engagement party between First Young Lady Chu and He Yufei five years ago..."
"Forget about it then. I don't really care if I'm married or not anyway." Young Master Leng threw a cold glance at her and turned his head around, intending to head upstairs once more.
"Why do you care? He's already over thirty with not a single good quality in him. A beggar can't choose. Perhaps the other party will turn their back on you when you head over with a marriage proposal because of his poor qualities." Elder Leng became nervous at the sight of his grandson leaving. He did not have high hopes for the latter anyway. He would be satisfied as long as Young Master Leng agreed to get married and settle down.
Of course, Elder Leng believed in his grandson's taste. That woman must be different if his grandson took a liking to her.
Sometimes, rumors could be very far from the facts.
For the first time in his life, Young Master Leng saw eye to eye with his grandfather.
In fact, there was a high chance that Chu Wuyou would refuse even if the Leng family headed over to ask for her hand in marriage, not to mention that Ye Lanchen was also in the picture.
He discerned the special treatment Ye Lanchen regarded Chu Wuyou. If so, Ye Lanchen would not allow the former to marry Chu Wuyou without interrupting.
He knew that for sure.
Even if he knew the possibility was low, Young Master Leng still desired to head over with a marriage proposal for Chu Wuyou.
Ye Lanchen desired the woman and so did he. It was down to the two of them to fight for the beauty.
Miao Lingling was in utter shock. Was her son really as poor as the elder made out to be?
"Alright, that settles it. Quickly make some arrangements and head over to the Chu Residence as soon as possible. Pay them a visit today if you can. What if someone else marries her just because you're one step too late?" Elder Leng threw in the remark casually, without knowing that his words turned out to be the reality.
