Besides, the next words that escaped Elder Chu's mouth made Chu Wuyou feel like she had just dug her own grave. Within seconds, she lost the will to live...
"Oh, yes, the mention of Ye Lanchen reminded me of something. Elder Ye seems to have gotten anxious about Ye Lanchen's marital status lately. He even threatened to hand over all the family business to Ye Lanchen's younger stepbrother if he doesn't get married by the end of this month."
Chu Wuyou's eyes twinkled as she remembered what Ye Lanchen had said earlier. He was not lying when he expressed his desire for a wife.
Perhaps he was worried because it was the lifeline that ensured his succession to the Ye family business.
However, out of all the women available, why did he set his eyes on her?
Of course, Chu Wuyou did not know that if it were not for her, Ye Lanchen would not even bat an eyelid about his grandfather forcing him into a marriage.
"Therefore, it might not be impossible." Elder Chu's face was filled with unusual delight.
"What is?" Chu Wuyou who was lost in her own thoughts could not catch up with the direction this conversation was heading.
"You and Ye Lanchen." Elder Chu looked at his granddaughter with enthusiasm, his whole face lit up.
"Ye Lanchen and I? What could happen between the two of us?" She let out an involuntary shriek in terror.
Was she not only playing out the possibility in her mind? Had she accidentally expressed her thoughts aloud?
Why would Grandpa say something like that out of the blue? He almost scared her to death!
"Isn't Elder Ye troubling himself with forcing Ye Lanchen into a marriage, too? If the Ye family is pleased with this arrangement, Grandpa's willing to give away everything I have to make this happen." Elder Chu announced his desire loud and clear.
He was willing to give away everything he owned to make this marriage happen? Chu Wuyou almost fainted when Elder Chu said that.
Everything? Was it worth this trouble?
"Grandpa, do you think Ye family will appreciate it if you tried too hard?" Right at this moment, Chu Wuyou was so distressed that she lost the energy to fight back.
Initially, she wanted to cancel out Ye Lanchen from her life but things had taken a wrong turn.
All of a sudden, she realized she was the one that had led him to this conclusion.
"It's just a figure of speech. If, I mean if, if the Ye family agrees to this arrangement, even if they show only the slightest bit of interest, Grandpa will do everything in my power to marry you off to them. A single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as the Ye family offers a spark, I'm ready to start this fire even if it takes all my life."
A single spark can start a prairie fire. Did he understand the true meaning of this saying?
Speechless, Chu Wuyou looked at her grandfather. She had exhausted every bit of energy in her to argue with him.
She expected her Grandpa to have trouble refusing the marriage proposal from the Ye Family, but she did not realize the depth of his desperation until now.
He was already flushing with enthusiasm and eagerness by just playing out the possibility in his mind... 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏noѵ𝐞𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
What if the Ye family had come over with a marriage proposal? Judging from Grandpa's current reaction, she feared that her refusal would result in him tying her up and sending her over to the Ye Residence by force.
Thank goodness, she had already secured a flight ticket to leave for Country M tomorrow. Nothing else mattered at this point.
The only hitch was, Chu Wuyou had no idea that the situation was not all roses...
