BXBX NOVEL Chapter 679: Chu Shanhe's Difficulty
Qi Yulong was overjoyed and said, “Family master, I think we should go and propose marriage immediately and settle the marriage arrangement between our two families as soon as possible.”
Qi Yuhu said, “Even if our Qi family wants to accept this marriage, it’s not appropriate for us to propose now that so many things have just happened, isn’t it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from his third brother, Qi Yubiao.
Among the second generation of the Qi family, Qi Yubiao was in charge of the entire Qi family’s intelligence system, so the phones of the other members of the family must be turned off during the meeting, except for him.
Qi Yubiao glanced at the phone number on his mobile phone and pressed the answer button. Two minutes later, he hung up, looked up at Qi Guofan and said, “Master, we just got the news that the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family’s masters have gone over to Chu Xuanyue in person, to propose marriage.”
Qi Guofan’s expression changed. He asked, “The three old foxes went over to propose marriage. What is their objective?”
Qi Yubiao said, “Chu Xuanyue has only one son. Of course, they are there to propose marriage to Qin Haodong.
The Zhao family proposed marriage for Zhao Qingwu, the Han family proposed marriage for Han Jieyu and the Wei family proposed marriage for Wei Yanran. They all wanted to marry their granddaughters to Qin Haodong.”
Qi Yuhu yelled, “How is that possible? The Zhao family’s marriage has just been ruined by Qin Haodong. How can they propose marriage so soon? Are they shameless?”
Qi Guofan glared at him with a gloomy face. “Second brother, you have not figured out which is more important until now. You really let me down.”
“What does face matter? If Qin Haodong really becomes the grandson-in-law of the Zhao family, it means that he has the help of five level nine supreme power masters at once. At that time, the Zhao family’s power will soar to the sky, and no one will dare to laugh at them anymore.”
Seeing that his father was becoming more and more dissatisfied with him, Qi Yuhu quickly shut up. It seemed that he was a total failure today.
Qi Yulong said, “Family master, the other three families have already gone over to propose marriage. We should also make full use of the time.”
Qi Yubiao said, “From the incident today Qin Haodong is very dissatisfied with our family. If we propose at this time, I’m afraid the outcome might not be good.”
When he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. It was true that the Qi family had privately decided to marry Qi Waner to Zhao Hongkun. This would inevitably make Qin Haodong very angry and he would not have a good impression of the Qi family.
After a moment of silence, Qi Guofan said,” It doesn’t matter. I’ll go in person to apologize first and then propose marriage. I believe Qin Haodong will not embarrass me.”
Not only would the family master go over to propose marriage, but he also would apologize in person. For as long as they could recall, it seemed that no one had ever been given such treatment, so everyone had traces of surprise on their faces.
Qi Yuhu’s lips moved a few times. At first, he wanted to say something, but when he thought of the scolding just now, he hesitated for a while before closing his mouth.
At this, Qi Guoyin, the First Elder, said, “The family master is right. Our Qi family must seize this opportunity. After all, Waner is now with Qin Haodong, and he can’t go too far.”
Qi Guofan nodded and said, “This matter should not be delayed any longer. I’ll go now.”
In the Chu family, Chu Shanhe gathered his direct descendants together and briefly told them about Chu Xuanyue’s situation.
“What? That bastard did not die?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice sounded. It was Chu Shanhe’s wife, Chu Xuanyue’s mother, Jin Xiuying.
This old lady was a descendant of the Qing Dynasty. It was said that her family was related to the royal family and her mother was the previous princess. When the Chu family started their business, they relied on the power of the Jin family to a large extent, so she had a very high status in the Chu family and even Chu Shanhe gave her some respect.
It was because of this that Jin Xiuying had always been arrogant, paid strict attention to rules and attached great importance to face. Moreover, she valued the male heirs only and loved her two sons very much. Thus she did not treat Chu Xuanyue well at all.
In particular, after Chu Xuanyue left with Qin Zongheng and gave birth to Qin Haodong regardless of her family’s opposition, Jin Xiuying hated her very much.
When Chu Shanhe tried to harm Qin Haodong and expelled Chu Xuanyue from the Chu family, to a large extent, he had been influenced by Jin Xiuying.
Chu Xuanli said, “All right, Mom. It’s been so many years. What’s the point of blaming her?”
Jin Xiuying said angrily, “No. How did that bastard survive? We must find out the truth. Could it be that our Chu family can’t even handle such a matter?”
After that, she shouted, “Old Weng, come in.”
When the door opened, an old housekeeper in his 60s came in. He was Uncle Weng, the housekeeper of the Chu family.
“Madam, what’s the matter?”
Uncle Weng asked.
“You still dare to ask?” Jin Xiuying roared, “The family master instructed you to kill Chu Xuanyue’s bastard. When you came back, you told me that you already killed him. Now the bastard has appeared in the capital. Tell me, what the hell is going on?”
Uncle Weng’s expression changed. He did not expect that after so many years, that matter would be brought up again.
Jin Xiuying yelled, “Tell me, did you kill him or not?”
After hesitating for a moment, Uncle Weng said, “Madam, I looked after Miss Chu since she was a child and her child was so young. I really could not bear to do it at that time, so I sent him out of the capital.”
“I happened to have a relative who was going to Jiangnan City, so I asked him to take the child away and find a suitable adopter for him.”
“Bastard!” Jin Xiuying flew into a rage. “You are employed by our family, and you can’t even handle such a small thing. How can you have the face to stay in our Chu family!”
At this time Chu Shanhe could not stand it anymore and said, “Forget it. It’s been so many years. He has worked hard for our Chu family. Let’s forget about it.”
“No.” Jin Xiuying roared again, “She did not care about her family’s reputation and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Now the housekeeper does not even listen to instructions. Is there any discipline in this family?”
Uncle Weng sighed and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. He bowed and said, “Family master, Madam, it’s indeed my fault. Besides, I’m old and weak, so I can’t work for the Chu family anymore. Please find someone else!”
After that, he bowed to Chu Shanhe and turned to walk out.
Looking at his stooped back, Chu Xuanli could not bear it. He stepped forward, pulled him and said, “Uncle Weng, don’t go.”
He turned his head and said to Jin Xiuying, “Mom, Uncle Weng has been working very hard for our family all these years. Why do you have to do this?”
Jin Xiuying shouted, “As a housekeeper, he did not listen to the master’s orders. This kind of person who does not abide by the rules does not deserve to stay in our Chu family.”
“Young master, it’s okay. I’m becoming old and weak these years. It’s time for me to leave.”
After saying that, Uncle Weng did not stay any longer and walked out of the door.
Uncle Weng left. Seeing that Jin Xiuying’s expression had eased a little, Chu Shanhe said, “It has been so many years. Today, let’s discuss how to take Xuanyue back to our family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xiuying cried, “Why should we take her back? She has not been here for so many years. Our Chu family is living a good life.”
Chu Xuanli said, “Mom, it’s not right for you to say that. No matter what, Xuanyue is your biological daughter. You can’t let her drift around like this all the time.”
“We already figured it out. Back then, Yuan Tianren was just talking nonsense. It was just a trick to deceive us. It was a complete misunderstanding.”
“It has not easy for my sister to be alone all these years. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, we should bring her back to the family.”
Hearing her son’s words, Jin Xiuying snorted and her tone finally eased a little. She said, “How about this? Xuanyue can come back, but that bastard definitely can’t.”
“A stray child who does not have any status must have no idea of following rules at all. If he comes to our Chu family, he will make me die of anger!”
Chu Shanhe said, “That’s not right. After all Qin Haodong is our grandson. The most important thing is that this child is very promising now. He is already a master at the level nine of Supreme Power Realm. He will be of great help to us.”
He felt very helpless when he said these words. The Chu family seemed to be good now. It belonged to one of the Seven Great Families in capital. But in fact, he was very clear about the hidden danger, which was that the family had no successor.
He had two sons. His eldest son, Chu Xuanli, was a kind-hearted person. This was an advantage for ordinary people, but for the master of the Chu family, it was not enough for him to be kind-hearted. He lacked scheming skills and was not shrewd.
The second son, Chu Xuanming, was very smart and scheming. Unfortunately, he was short-sighted, cunning and narrow-minded. This kind of person was also not suitable to be the family master.
Even so, Chu Xuanli and Chu Xuanming were still much better than the descendants of the third generation. When it came to the third generation of the Chu family, basically all of them were rich playboys and none of them could be of great use.
In terms of warrior artists, the two level nine supreme power masters, Chu Shanchuan and Chu Shanhai, were too old. There would not be much time left for them in the future.
Except them, apart from the eighth level supreme power master, they did not even have a seventh level supreme power master in Chu family. In the young generation, the one with the highest cultivation was only at the sixth level of Supreme Power Realm.
In the past, when faced with such a situation, Chu Shanhe could not do anything about it even though he felt anxious. But now it was different. He suddenly had a grandson at the level nine of Supreme Power Realm.
If Qin Haodong could join the Chu family, not only would he be able to quickly increase the strength of the Chu family, but it would also ensure the future of the Chu family. After all, Qin Haodong was only in his twenties and was in the prime of his life. At least, he could ensure the prosperity of the Chu family for 50 years.
Due to this, he was eager to bring Chu Xuanyue back to the Chu family. In fact, his daughter was not his goal. What he really wanted was Qin Haodong’s participation.
But Jin Xiuying obviously did not understand his difficulties. She was not a warrior artist and she did not care about the family affairs. She was after her own interests.
“I don’t care whether he is a level nine supreme power master or not. I only know that he is a bastard who grew up outside and certainly does not understand the rules of a big family like our Chu family. This kind of person can’t enter the gate of our family.”
