8 – My Good Sister, Bring It On
Chu Ruan met Chu Lanyan’s scrutinizing gaze calmly and spoke softly, “I came to collect my belongings.”
“If I’m going to marry Chenxuan, how could I leave my things at my maiden home?”
“What?!” Chu Lanyan and Meng Yanfei were even more shocked by these words than by Chu Ruan’s transformation.
She could accept Fu Chenxuan now?!
Hadn’t she hated him to the bone before?! What happened? How could she change so quickly in just a few days?!
Chu Ruan smiled gently at the stunned Chu Lanyan, the butterfly at the corner of her eye seeming ready to take flight. “I should thank my sister for giving me this opportunity.”
As for why Fu Chenxuan would take a liking to a girl from the mountains like her, it all started at a banquet.
By then, she had been with the Chu family for two years. Chu Lanyan had recovered from her illness, and the Chu family, seeing how obedient and beautiful she was, decided to bring her into social circles.
At her first banquet, she encountered Fu Chenxuan.
Unfortunately, she had been like a startled bird in such a luxurious setting, barely managing to maintain her composure, with no energy left to observe her surroundings.
The day after returning home, Fu Chenxuan’s people arrived.
“President Fu is interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Chu family. I’m here to inquire about your thoughts.”
Chu Honghai and Meng Yanfei were immediately stunned. “Wh-what?!”
“This is an invitation to the Altun Hotel two days from now. President Fu requests your presence.”
The visitor placed an invitation on the table, nodded, and left directly.
No unnecessary words, just like Fu Chenxuan’s reputation suggested.
Chu Honghai’s hands trembled as he opened the black and gold invitation. “It’s… it’s the Altun anniversary banquet!”
The Altun Hotel was a top-tier establishment in the country, and its anniversary banquet was the premier social event in their circles—accessible only to political heavyweights and business tycoons.
The Chu family couldn’t even dream of setting foot in the Altun.
Faced with such an invitation, as a profit-driven businessman, how could Chu Honghai not be tempted?!
Moreover, he had two daughters at home!
After informing both girls of Fu Chenxuan’s proposal, Chu Lanyan was the first to protest, “I won’t marry him!”
Chu Ruan had no idea who Fu Chenxuan was and remained confused, allowing herself to be swayed.
In the end, it was decided that Chu Ruan would be the one to marry.
In her previous life, Chu Ruan never understood why Chu Lanyan refused to marry him. Now, thinking back, she had an idea.
Chu Lanyan must have already been involved with Ji Qingyun at that time, infatuated with him, and naturally unwilling to marry the notorious Fu Chenxuan with his terrible reputation!
Rumors said Fu Chenxuan was violent and promiscuous, capable of taking a life with a smile, and never cherished those close to him. There were even whispers that he was inadequate in bed, which was why he changed lovers one after another!
Looking back now, it was all complete nonsense!
After moving into the Fu residence, she never saw another woman around Fu Chenxuan. Whenever he wasn’t working, he would stay home with her.
Though she hadn’t accepted him then.
As for whether he was adequate in bed… she, well, she wouldn’t know…
At this thought, Chu Ruan’s cheeks warmed slightly, her shy demeanor making her even more endearing.
She truly had to thank Chu Lanyan. If her sister hadn’t refused to marry him back then, she wouldn’t have had this opportunity.
Hearing Chu Ruan’s words, Chu Lanyan forced a smile and hummed, “We’re sisters, after all. It’s only right. I just want my sister to be happy.”This is not good. If Chu Yunruan really falls for Fu Chenxuan, how will she help herself and Qingyun extract secrets and information in the future?!
This is not part of her plan!
