Chapter 727 - 727 Test
727 Test
He could not hit or scold him.
Sun Baoshan refused to leave. How annoying.
When Hu Changshou came out, Chu Jin immediately went forward. “Changshou.”
Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen immediately looked at him.
Madam Wen opened her mouth to speak, but she had no words.
Hu Changshou walked up to Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Uncle Chu, Auntie, can I talk to you?”
As Hu Changshou spoke, he looked at Sun Baoshan in the courtyard.
Sun Baoshan also looked over. Their eyes met and both of them were calm.
Chu Leizhen looked at Hu Changshou. He had a gentle personality and did not have any resentment or anger. He was a rare good man.
He looked at Sun Baoshan, who was not far away. He was refined and sincere. He was also a rare good man.
But there was only one daughter.
Chu Leizhen nodded and made an inviting gesture to Hu Changshou.
Chu Jin walked towards Sun Baoshan and gritted his teeth. “Just you wait.”
Speaking of who liked her more, Chu Jin had no objections. He liked Hu Changshou more. Who was Sun Baoshan? He didn’t know him. That weakling didn’t even have the heart to be friends. Now, he even wanted to come and ask to marry his sister. He even deceived his sister’s heart. How detestable!
Sun Baoshan stood quietly and waited.
When they returned to the front hall, Hu Changshou cupped his hands and greeted Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen. He said, “Uncle Chu, Auntie, Miss Chu and Young Master Sun are in love. Please allow me to leave.”
“Child, you…”
Madam Wen’s eyes turned red. Such a good child.
Chu Leizhen sighed. “Changshou, our family has let you down.”
They hadn’t found out about Chu Li’s feelings earlier, which resulted in this situation.
Sun Baoshan was sincere and Chu Li liked him. In the end, this tug-of-war would definitely lean towards his daughter. Hu Changshou was good, but Chu Li was his daughter.
Hu Changshou was magnanimous. His words at this moment had completely embarrassed the Chu family. Chu Leizhen felt an indescribable guilt in his heart. He looked at Hu Changshou solemnly and said, “Changshou, our Chu family owes you a favor. If you need help in the future, even if I’m not around, there’s still Chu Jin. At the very least, there’s still Chu Jin’s future children. You’re magnanimous and gave the Chu family face. I, Chu Leizhen, am grateful to you.”
Chu Jin was not stupid. He knew what this meant. He promised Chu Leizhen, “Father, don’t worry. I’ll remember it.”
Madam Wen sighed. She did not interrupt and was also grateful.
Hu Changshou smiled gently and said, “Uncle Chu, you’re treating me like an outsider. It’s also my fortune to befriend Chu Jin. Marriage is a red string pulled by the heavens. How can we control it? There are very few people in this world who are truly in love with each other. Why break them up in such a short life?”
Chu Leizhen was touched. He patted Hu Changshou’s shoulder. “I admire your magnanimity. My daughter doesn’t have this fortune. In the future, there will definitely be a good fate waiting for you.”
Madam Wen also nodded heavily with red eyes.
Hu Changshou smiled. “I hope so too.”
After Hu Changshou made things clear, he felt relieved. He walked to Chu Jin’s side and patted his shoulder. “Sun Baoshan is a good person. Don’t make things difficult for him. When the date is set, I still have to get a cup of wedding wine.”
Since it was already a done deal, he would give them his blessings peacefully.
Sun Baoshan was a good person, and Chu Li’s taste was not bad. Such a smart girl would not misjudge someone.
Chu Jin patted Hu Changshou’s shoulder. “Thank you. Let’s drink another day.”
Hu Changshou smiled and nodded in agreement. He cupped his hands respectfully at Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen and said politely, “Uncle Chu, Auntie, Junior will take his leave.”
Hu Changshou left with a smile. Chu Leizhen and his wife sighed.
Hu Changshou couldn’t help but think that although he seemed to have saved the Chu family’s dignity, he was also saving his own dignity.
Hu Changshou came out and looked at Sun Baoshan, who was still motionless. He took a calm look and left. His expression was cold, making Sun Baoshan unable to guess what he was thinking.
Seeing the nervousness in Sun Baoshan’s eyes, Hu Changshou turned around and smiled. Although Sun Baoshan would not be nervous for long, it was good to make him nervous for a while longer.
After Hu Changshou left, the crowd who came to watch the show and did not know what was going on made way for him.
Sun Baoshan kept looking at the corridor nervously. After Hu Changshou left, when would the Chu family come?
What did they say inside?
Sun Baoshan was extremely anxious. After a while, the Chu family did not come out.
After a long time, no one from the Chu family came.
There were fewer and fewer people watching the show. The Chu family was no longer around. What was there to see?
As the sky darkened, the onlookers dispersed.
In the cold courtyard, only Sun Baoshan stood there motionless.
It was getting dark. The Chu family did not come out or chase him away.
Sun Baoshan’s throat was dry. He smiled bitterly and was not prepared to leave. Since the Chu family did not chase him away, he would not leave.
No matter what, he wanted an answer. He couldn’t leave like this. If he left like this, it would really be impossible between him and Chu Li.
Sun Baoshan was like a statue.
He didn’t know that Chu Jin was watching him in the dark. He saw that the door of the Chu family’s residence was closed, but Sun Baoshan was still standing on the spot. Chu Jin turned back and said reluctantly to Chu Leizhen and Madam Wen, “That kid hasn’t left yet. His health is too poor. I saw him staggering a few times.”
If it were him, he wouldn’t even sway for three days and three nights.
Sun Baoshan had only been standing for half a day and his face was pale. He was really weak.
Chu Leizhen pondered for a moment and said, “Ignore him. Let him stand there. We’ll see what happens tomorrow morning.”
Madam Wen was a little worried. “He’s a scholar. He didn’t eat or drink for the entire day. If anything happens, how will we explain it to his parents?”
Chu Leizhen was angry. “Explain? What explanation? I didn’t ask him to stand there and not leave! He can’t blame our Chu family even if he dies. How dare he!”
Chu Leizhen was already angry. He was not angry with Madam Wen, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
He did not beg Sun Baoshan to come.
Madam Wen’s eyes turned red. Before she could speak, Chu Leizhen couldn’t take it anymore. He hurriedly said to Chu Jin angrily, “Kid, make a trip to the Sun family. Tell them that I want Sun Baoshan to stand there for three days and three nights before I’m willing to see him. If anything happens, I don’t care. If their hearts ache, quickly bring their child back. Don’t blame my Chu family if anything happens.”
“I’ll go now.”
Without another word, Chu Jin stood up and went out.
Chu Leizhen turned around and comforted Madam Wen. “Madam, don’t be angry with me. I was too angry. He’s a scholar, so I couldn’t do anything to him. If he was a martial arts practitioner, I would have beaten him up long ago.”
When his son was around, he was too embarrassed to coax his wife. When his son left, Chu Leizhen could not keep up the act and explained to Madam Wen gently.
Madam Wen smiled with tears in her eyes and shook her head. “I’m not blaming Master. I’m blaming myself.”
