726 Marriage Proposal 2
“You…”
Chu Jin frowned and pointed at Sun Baoshan. He gritted his teeth and didn’t know what to say about him.
He was annoyed to death.
If it had been a few months ago, everyone would have been happy about this. But now, they had all found a good husband for Chu Li, but Sun Baoshan had appeared again.
It was impossible for them not to think too much about it.
“What are you thinking? What were you doing before this?”
Chu Jin gritted his teeth. If he was a martial arts practitioner, he would not waste his breath on him. He would have attacked long ago.
However, he was a scholar. With his mediocre martial arts, he could not even withstand a single move from him. His body should be considered good among ordinary scholars, but in front of him, he would probably be reincarnated with a punch.
He couldn’t win in his words.
And he couldn’t bring himself to attack.
Chu Jin really had no way to deal with scholars.
Sun Baoshan looked at Chu Jin respectfully. He swallowed and said the truth from the bottom of his heart, “I’m sorry. I know I have no name. I wanted to wait for me to achieve something, but…”
There was no time to wait. If he didn’t take the initiative to express it, Chu Li would become someone else’s wife.
Even if he was unknown and had nothing, he still wanted to give it a try with sincerity.
Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen arrived quickly.
Looking at the gifts in the courtyard and the refined Sun Baoshan, Chu Leizhen’s face darkened and he did not show any emotions.
Madam Wen was also deep in thought. Sun Baoshan had come at the wrong time. If it had been half a year earlier, the couple would definitely have been very happy.
But now, the couple had openly asked Hu Changshou for his opinion. Hu Changshou had also agreed. If they regretted it now, they would be trampling on Hu Changshou’s face.
Hu Changshou was a good man. It was not bad for his daughter to marry him.
However… Madam Wen thought about what Chu Li had said at night. Her daughter liked this respectful and stubborn scholar in front of her.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze.
The Chu family could not be rough with Sun Baoshan, and Sun Baoshan refused to leave by himself. The Chu family ignored him and he just stood there.
At this moment, in the backyard, Chu Li was sitting quietly in front of the window. The window had been sealed by her father, so she couldn’t see out of the window. She closed her eyes and recalled the sound of firecrackers she had heard just now. It was the tenth day today. Was he here?
“Crack—”
There was a sound outside the door. Chu Li looked over and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Xiao Xing, is that you?”
“Miss Chu, it’s me. I have some questions. Can I talk to you in detail? Please be at ease. I won’t come in. I’ll be outside the door. For the sake of convenience, please come out.”
Hu Changshou said gently from outside the door.
Chu Li had seen him before. He was waiting for her to agree, but he didn’t expect her to already have someone in her heart.
Now that Sun Baoshan had come to propose marriage, the Chu family was in a difficult position. Hu Changshou knew very well that even if the Chu family regretted it, he could not say anything. However, the Chu family respected him. During this period of time, Hu Changshou was glad that he had made a good friend like Chu Jin.
This matter was related to him, so he couldn’t sit back and do nothing. He came to look for Chu Li to ask for confirmation.
“Young Master Hu, I’m sorry.”
Chu Li walked to the door and apologized softly.
Hu Changshou smiled. The atmosphere outside was tense. He didn’t have much time, so he didn’t delay and asked directly, “Miss Chu, do you really like Sun Baoshan?”
Chu Li pursed her lips. She didn’t know the meaning of Hu Changshou’s question, but she didn’t want to lie to Hu Changshou, so she only thought for a few seconds before saying, “Yes, I like him.”
“Miss Chu, I’m an ordinary person. I’m very lucky to have met your brother. A long time ago, your brother told me that he has a sister. He values me very much. After meeting you, you have a gentle personality, are virtuous, and are reasonable. I don’t have any feelings for you now, but if you marry me, I’ll definitely treat you sincerely and not take concubines in this life. Perhaps I don’t have anything now, but in the future, I’ll definitely do my best to honor you. I can swear to the heavens that if I’m not lying, I’ll definitely die a horrible death.”
Hu Changshou made his intentions clear. He didn’t want to give up without doing anything.
Chu Li was a very good girl. If he missed her, he would definitely not meet such a good person in the future. The Chu family’s general was very forthright and open-minded. Sun Baoshan had to fight for himself, so how could he give up so easily?
When Chu Li heard Hu Changshou’s words, she replied softly, “Young Master Hu, I know you’re a good person. Since Young Master has made it clear, I don’t want to lie to you. I’ve known Young Master Sun for many years. I like him. I’m waiting for him to take this step. If he doesn’t come, I’ll listen to Father and Mother. You’re a very good person. I believe you’ll do what you say. I’ve been friends with Young Master Sun for many years and have a clear conscience. However, he took this step for me. I don’t want to disappoint him. I like him too.”
“Among us, the most innocent person is you, Young Master Hu. I’m really sorry. I can’t be indifferent anymore. Even if Father and Mother don’t agree now, or whatever, I won’t agree to being with you anymore. Young Master Hu, I’m sorry.”
Chu Li said what was on her mind and felt much better.
Hu Changshou could be said to be the most innocent in this matter.
She liked Sun Baoshan, so she was unwilling to give up just like that. She had given Sun Baoshan a chance. If Sun Baoshan did not come, it meant that she had misjudged him. She would definitely not contact Sun Baoshan again.
However, Sun Baoqian was here. He was sincere. She could not be indifferent, let alone agree to Hu Changshou.
“Thank you for being so honest, Miss Chu. Don’t worry, Miss Chu. There will definitely be a good outcome this time.”
Hu Changshou smiled in relief.
Chu Li looked weak, but she was actually a tough and brave girl.
After getting this answer, he felt relieved. He didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.
A door away, Chu Li heard Hu Changshou’s footsteps. She had already guessed a little. Hu Changshou was really a very good person. She was the one who was not fated to be compatible with him. She believed that the heavens would give Hu Changshou a good fate.
Chu Li was sincerely grateful to Hu Changshou.
When Hu Changshou went out, there were many people surrounding the Chu family’s courtyard. Many of them had already left because they were bored, but there were also some stubborn and bored people waiting for the final outcome.
Chu Leizhen and his wife stood quietly not far away, and so did Sun Baoshan.
Chu Jin wanted to scold him many times, but in the end, he did not.
Daughters of families were highly sought after. Sun Baoshan came sincerely, so it would seem rude for the Chu family to scold him. Those who didn’t know better would think that their family’s standard was too high. Even if Chu Li didn’t marry Sun Baoshan, she still had to get married. If she ruined her reputation, what would others think?
