Love That Extends Life

Chapter 221: Marriage Engagement

Chu Yunhao's brows relaxed after hearing this. He smiled and said, "It's great that Grandpa came to Nanshi. I miss him too. I would like to take some time to visit him in Kyoto."

Chu Tianrui smiled and said, "Yes, your grandfather wanted to change his environment, so he decided to live in Nanshi for a while."

Chu Yunhao nodded, showing his understanding. "I think grandpa is reluctant to leave his hometown, and I hope he can stay here for a while longer after returning."

"Yes, your grandfather once proposed to return to Nan City to retire, but the higher-ups considered that the medical conditions in Nan City were not as good as those in Kyoto, so they did not agree."

"Well, the old leaders are the country's wealth, so the safety of the old leaders must be the top priority."

"So? Your grandpa will come back to live for a while, but he will have to go back." Chu Tianrui shook his head helplessly. He felt that it was a great regret that he could not be filial to his father by his side.

Chu Yunhao saw that his father was a little sad, so he changed the subject and said, "Dad, you still have two things to do. What are they?"

Chu Tianrui nodded, and then said in a serious tone: "Second, I have decided to formally recommend you as the vice president of Chu Group at the group meeting, and as the president of Tianrui Automobile Group. However, your appointment will not be made public for the time being. It is just an arrangement made in advance within the group, so only the directors of the group's board of directors know about it."

Chu Yunhao widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Dad, are you sure you want to do this? I'm still young and inexperienced..."

Chu Tianrui interrupted him and encouraged him: "Yunhao, you have the ability to take on this position. Moreover, you also need an opportunity to train yourself. Dad believes that you can do this job well."

Chu Yunhao took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Thank you, Dad, I will definitely work hard!"

Chu Tianrui smiled with satisfaction, then turned to his wife Dong Jiawei and said, "The third thing, let your mother tell you."

Dong Jiawei took over the topic with a smile and said to Chu Yunhao gently: "Son, this third thing is a big happy event. Chen Yuxi from the Chen family in Kyoto will come to Nanshi tomorrow and stay at our house for a few days."

Chu Yunhao looked at his mother in surprise, his face full of questions: "Chen Yuxi is coming to Nanshi? Why is she coming to our house?"

Dong Jiawei smiled and replied, "Because she is your fiancée. You have been engaged since childhood, and now you have grown up, so you have to know about this."

Chu Yunhao was stunned. He knew Chen Yuxi, but he had no idea that Chen Yuxi would be his fiancée. When his parents went to Kyoto, they would take him to visit the Chen family in Kyoto. That was when he met Chen Yuxi. Occasionally, Chen Yuxi's parents would bring Chen Yuxi to their home. At that time, he thought it was an adult relationship. He didn't expect that he and Chen Yuxi were actually engaged.

Dong Jiawei continued, "Yunhao, the engagement between you and Chen Yuxi was decided when you were 10 years old by Chen Yuxi's mother, your Aunt Jiao Yaqin, and me. I thought it was just a joke at the time, but your Aunt Jiao said that their Chen family agreed to this marriage, so I agreed casually. Later, when you went abroad, the marriage was put on hold. Maybe their Chen family knew about your illness, so they never mentioned the marriage. However, recently their Chen family heard that you had returned to China and that your body had recovered, so your Aunt Jiao mentioned the engagement between you and Chen Yuxi to me again. Well, Chen Yuxi has grown into a big girl, and she is also very beautiful. She is also a doctoral student at Kyoto University. I heard that Chen Yuxi came here with your grandfather this time, so you'd better meet her, so that you can have more contact and enhance your feelings. After all, you will get married in the future."

Chu Yunhao was a little bit at a loss, he didn't dare to believe what his mother said, what era is it, there is still such a thing as betrothal. But after calming down, he knew that marriages in the upper class were very common, after all, the big families were also playing games with each other, so marriages became the best way for big families to form alliances.

At this time, Chu Yunhao looked at his father Chu Tianrui and asked, "Dad, what do you think about this?"

Chu Tianrui didn't expect that his son Chu Yunhao would turn the topic to him. In fact, this topic made him speechless. Even though he was the president of a large group, he still couldn't give a satisfactory answer to this topic.

Chu Tianrui thought for a moment, then forced a smile: "Haha, in fact, the so-called engagement is a marriage relationship between big families. As for the engagement between you and Chen Yuxi, I... I can't say anything. Oh, by the way, when your grandfather comes back tomorrow, you can listen to his opinion!"

Chu Tianrui passed the matter of the engagement to Old Man Chu, and he himself drank his tea awkwardly.

"Haha, this tea is good, it is indeed top-grade Longjing tea!"

Chu Yunhao then turned to look at his mother Dong Jiawei, then smiled and said, "Mom, I understand. I will talk to Chen Yuxi when the time comes, but I won't marry her. I will explain everything to her. I will also tell grandpa when the time comes. I believe grandpa can distinguish right from wrong, and he will have the right answer."

Dong Jiawei felt uneasy when she heard this. She immediately patted Chu Yunhao's arm and said, "Son, you can't tell Chen Yuxi directly. How will Chen Yuxi accept it? It will also make the Chen family hate our Chu family. This is related to the relationship between the Chen family and the Chu family."

"Then, Mom, what if my hidden illness doesn't get better? Will the Chen family be willing to let Chen Yuxi marry me?" Chu Yunhao asked back.

"Well, if your hidden illness had always existed, we would not have delayed the girl's marriage, so I never mentioned it all these years. But now that your health has recovered, the Chen family has proposed a marriage, and your father and I have no choice." Dong Jiawei explained helplessly, but she still agreed very much with this marriage in her heart. In her opinion, Chen Yuxi is a thousand times better than Wu Yanzi.

"Mom, Dad, since it involves the interests of the family, I will handle it carefully. But Chen Yuxi and I are really not suitable, and it is impossible."

"Son, are you still thinking about that girl Wu Yanzi?"

"Mom, you're right. I've decided on her for my whole life. I won't marry any other girl except Wu Yanzi."

"Son, you are the heir of the Chu family, and Wu Yanzi is just a country girl." Dong Jiawei began to be dissatisfied, and she tried to persuade Chu Yunhao. "Yunhao, Wu Yanzi is your lifesaver, but it is not the same as repaying her with your body!"

"Mom, maybe you don't understand your son yet. I'm not a person who acts on impulse. I have my own emotional judgment and choices. If it really is a family marriage, I won't choose it. I would rather leave the house with nothing and pursue my own life."
