Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 257: Escape from the Mountains (38)

At the dinner table, Chen Xianhua mentioned Chen Jiahui.

"Jiahui is 20 years old now, Bingrui, you should find some time to have a meal with the Li family and talk about the children of both families." Chen Xianhua said.

Chen Bingrui's brows knitted together, but before he could say anything, Chen Jiahui spoke first, "Grandpa, I still have two years to graduate."

Chen Xianhua said: "It's just to set a date, not to ask you to get married now."

"And I heard that Yanshu has been confirmed as a graduate student at our university in mid-October of this year. He and Jiahui have already returned to China after graduating from graduate school."

Chen Jiahui was a little unhappy. She didn't understand why Chen Xianhua insisted that she marry Li Yanshu. She didn't like Li Yanshu at all.

Chen Bingrui said, "Jiahui is still young, so there's no need to rush. Let's wait until she's about to graduate."

Chen Jiahui glanced at Ding Min. Seeing that her mother had no objection, she grew increasingly angry. "I won't want to marry Li Yanshu after I graduate. I don't like him."

Ding Min likes Li Yanshu very much. He comes from a good family, has good character, and is also good-looking. He is the perfect match for her.

"Li Yanshu is such a good kid, why don't you like him?"

Chen Xianhua chewed bamboo shoots and said, "We can get engaged first, and then we can slowly cultivate our relationship."

Chen Xianhe didn't dare to refute his brother, so he said to Chen Jiahui, "Xiaohui, Yanshu is such a good match that you can't find it even with a lantern, and I'm not asking you to marry him right now."

Chen Jiahui was almost annoyed by what she heard. She threw down her chopsticks and said loudly, "I won't marry you! If you like her, you can marry her." After saying this, she ran out of the house.

"This girl has been spoiled by us." Chen Xianhe said with a wry smile.

Ding Min quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll go check on her. Dad, uncle, you guys eat first."

Chen Bingrui remained silent, and Chen Binghua tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, I know Jiahui. She likes tall, strong, and cool men. She's not interested in gentle men like Yanshu."

...

As for Chen Jiahui, she regretted it as soon as she ran out.

Damn, why is it so cold outside? I should have put on a coat before going out.

Chen Jiahui shuddered, and Ding Min followed her out, holding the thick coat she had taken off before dinner.

"You haven't changed your bad temper! How dare you lose your temper at your great-grandfather with so many people watching you?" Ding Min frowned.

"If he hadn't been so arbitrary, would I have lost my temper?" Chen Jiahui became even angrier after hearing what Ding Min said. "I'm not his biological granddaughter, why does he even have to control my marriage?"

Ding Min said, "Why not marry into the Li family? Aren't your Uncle Li and Aunt Yu good to you? Wouldn't it be good for a good kid like Li Yanshu to be your partner? He's not trying to harm you."

"But I don't like Li Yanshu! I don't like him at all!" Chen Jiahui shouted, "If he likes him so much, why doesn't he let Xiaocao marry him? Why does he want me to marry him?"

"Xiaocao is his real granddaughter!"

Ding Min tugged at Chen Jiahui's arm and said sternly, "Chen Jiahui, do you understand what you should and shouldn't say?"

"Li Yanshu and you have been childhood sweethearts, and you've only known Xiaocao for a few years? If you promised Li Yanshu to Xiaocao right after she arrived, that would be considered partiality! Your great-grandfather only wanted you to get married because you grew up together!"

"What's more, everything you eat, wear, and use now is your great-grandfather's property. Our entire family, including your grandfather, worked for him to earn his living!"

"The Li family has such a good family tradition, if it were any other family, they would be eager to marry into this family!"

Chen Jiahui shook off Ding Min's hand. "What do you mean, everything we eat and wear is Great-grandfather's assets? Hasn't my dad ever contributed anything in all the years he's been the CEO? Isn't it my dad who's managing the company now? Isn't the company's success all thanks to my dad's hard work every day, coming home from dawn to dusk?"

"you--"

Ding Min was speechless for a moment. She could only sigh to her daughter. When she turned her head, she saw Chen Xianhua sitting in a wheelchair at the door.

Ding Min was shocked: "Uncle."

After hearing this, Chen Jiahui immediately turned around and saw Chen Xianhua's calm face.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Chen Bingrui caught up with Chen Xianhua.

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Xianhua sighed: "Xiao Hui, I don't want to force you either."

"Since you don't like Li Yanshu, forget it."

Chen Jiahui glanced at Ding Min: "...Really?"

"Well, if you don't like it, forget it." Chen Xianhua said, "But next time you find someone, remember to bring them home to show your parents."

Chen Jiahui then smiled happily: "Okay! Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Okay, come in and eat."

Chen Bingrui pushed Chen Xianhua: "Uncle, Xiaohui is not——"

"I know everything." Chen Xianhua interrupted him: "Young people nowadays all value free love. I thought they grew up together and had feelings for each other."

Ding Min, who was a few steps behind the two of them, glanced at Chen Jiahui and said, "Are you happy now? Don't say those words again."

"I know, I know!"

...

Chen Jiahui was not willing to marry into the Li family, so Chen Xianhua had to make it clear to the Li family so as not to delay Li Yanshu.

Taking advantage of Chen Jiahui's return, a few days later, Chen Xianhua invited the Li family to come to Luyuan for dinner.

This time, Li Yanshu's grandparents also came.

"I haven't seen Shanshan for several years. She looks in good shape now," said Yu Xi.

The two elderly people in the Li family have been living in the countryside for retirement. This is the first time they have seen Chen Shanshan who was found after her disappearance.

Chen Shanshan is now well taken care of. Grandma Li pointed at Xiaohua and said, "This girl is really similar to Shanshan in the past."

Grandma Li felt very upset when she saw that Chen Shanshan didn't recognize people and her spirit was like that of a child. She had originally chosen Chen Shanshan as her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect fate to play such a trick on her.

"It's good that you're back. Shanshan still has a long life ahead of her and she can enjoy it slowly." said Grandma Li.

After the greetings, Chen Xianhua said to Mr. Li, "So many years have passed in a flash, and Yanshu is also a child I watched grow up."

"I originally called you here to discuss the marriage of the two juniors."

Chen Xianhe and his family were not at home. After hearing this, Li Yanshu subconsciously looked at Xiaocao beside him.

The expression on Xiaocao's face was as aloof and indifferent as ever, and she seemed to have no interest in the affairs of Li Yanshu and Chen Jiahui at all.

His heart was suddenly lifted.

"Yanshu is excellent. I should have discussed this with you after he was admitted to graduate school."

"Xiao Hui has no taste. She only regards Yanshu as her brother. But I have always admired Yanshu."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Li family members were also stunned.

Especially the old man of the Li family, he and Chen Xianhua have always been good friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are sworn brothers. If Chen Shanshan had not been abducted, Chen Shanshan would be his daughter-in-law now.

Li Yanshu and Chen Jiahui were childhood sweethearts. Originally, I thought that the young generation could continue this fate, but I didn't expect that Chen Jiahui actually didn't like Li Yanshu.

The Li family was stunned, but Yu Xi said something shocking: "You mean, a marriage exchange?"
