Jing Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of shyness appeared on her face. She shook her head and said, “Why would a rich young master like him marry someone from a humble background like me?”
“But Young Master Sun really likes Miss.” Tao Yuan’s words were a little out of line, but not only was Jing Chuchu not angry, but she also seemed to be a little happy. Tao Yuan continued, “It will be great if Young Master Sun becomes the son-in-law of the Jing family. Young Master Sun loves Miss like a gem compared to Second Young Master who treats Miss like air. If you marry him, Young Master Sun will also dote on you.”
“Stop talking.” Jing Chuchu suddenly interrupted her. “Since I’ve already chosen the Shen family, there’s no point in talking about Young Master Sun.” As she spoke, she was actually a little sad.
Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu were not very close to each other to begin with, and because of what happened previously, they were even more enemies with each other. At this moment, when Sun Cainan and Shen Yuan were compared side by side, Sun Cainan appeared more outstanding. He was a talented man, generous and gentle to her. It would be a lie to say that Jing Chuchu was not tempted. Moreover, people were always obsessed with what they could not get. Hearing Tao Yuan’s words, Jing Chuchu felt like ants crawling on her heart, making her unable to sit tight.
“Miss…” Tao Yuan hesitated for a moment.” Miss, why don’t you go and meet Young Master Sun for one last time? Young Master Sun knows about your engagement, but he doesn’t know the inside story. It won’t be good if he misunderstands you. If you talk about it openly, he will only feel sorry for you. It’s rare to meet such a good person like Young Master Sun. He will be very sad if Miss does nothing.” Tao Yuan said,” The last time you met, Young Master Sun even said that he would give you that dragonfly gem hairpin.”
Hearing this, Jing Chuchu was tempted. What moved her the most was that Sun Cainan kept sending her gifts. To Jing Chuchu, this was enough.
After thinking for a while, Jing Chuchu made up her mind and said, “You’re right. I should explain to him.”
“However, Miss is now engaged to Second Young Master. You can’t be seen together by outsiders.” Tao Yuan said, “Why don’t you leave this to me? I’ll find a place with no one around where Miss and Young Master Sun can meet and talk freely.”
Jing Chuchu nodded.
…
Shen Yuan strode into the courtyard, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Over the past few days, he had been receiving strange gazes from everyone. In fact, it was not that others could not tell that Shen Yuan had been schemed against. After all, getting drunk and sleeping with a strange woman wasn’t really a big deal in the capital. What everyone was surprised about was that a young and smart man like Shen Yuan would actually be made a fool at home.
Especially this time, the scheme seemed to have something to do with the useless daughter of Shen Xin.
Although Fu Xiuyi did not reprimand Shen Yuan, he had been more distant from him over the past few days. The reason was very simple. Now that Shen Yuan was a trusted aide of Fu Xiuyi, one day, Shen Yuan would have to come out to openly express his loyalty to Fu Xiuyi. However, with such a scandal tarnishing his reputation, Shen Yuan also embarrassed Fu Xiuyi. For someone like Fu Xiuyi, who pursued perfection, Shen Yuan’s mistake this time was really a little infuriating.
Shen Yuan was also very aggrieved. After being treated as a joke, he still had to marry that woman, Jing Chuchu. Everyone knew that Jing Chuchu was a vulgar girl who only cared about money and not people, but he had to marry her. In the future, even if a young lady fell in love with him, she would definitely not be allowed to marry him by her family.
