Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Soon, it was the day of the Fu family banquet. Early in the morning, many people from the Fu family had already arrived. They were all paying special attention to the Fu family’s once-a-month family banquet.
Chu Yaoyao had also dressed up beautifully early in the morning. When everyone saw that she had arrived, they were stunned for a moment. They didn’t understand why an outsider had appeared at the family banquet. It wasn’t until they saw Chu Xiangzhu that they seemed to understand the meaning of her appearance.
When it was time to eat, everyone was already seated at the dining table, but Fu Yunian didn’t appear. This was why Fu Zhennan could only make everyone wait. Everyone could only sit at the table and chat for a while.
In the past, he would never give Fu Yunian so much respect and even specially waited for him. But today was to discuss about his important things, so naturally, he had to wait for him to come before inviting everyone to eat.
After urging him so many times, that arrogant and cold man finally appeared outside the door.
When Fu Yunian walked to the dining table, he realized that there was only one empty seat beside Chu Yaoyao. He immediately sat down without thinking. “Sorry, I had something to do at the company. It’s settled now.”
Chu Yaoyao looked at the handsome Fu Yunian sitting beside her at this moment. Her heart was already filled with joy and she kept winking at Chu Xiangzhu.
Chu Xiangzhu wasn’t stupid and immediately understood her intention. She quickly pinched Fu Zhennan under the table, which made him shiver. He waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. Take a seat. Everyone, start eating! Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Seeing Fu Zhennan move his chopsticks, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks.
“Yunian, your uncles and I have discussed it. You are at this age, you can’t be alone forever, so we want to help you get engaged.”

As soon as Fu Yunian sat down, Fu Zhennan spoke up. The sudden news caused him to frown.
The previous marriage was arranged by his grandfather, but in the end? Everyone was hurt and his grandfather even lost his life. But, this time, Fu Zhennan was still trying to arrange a marriage for him. Did they really think he was a marriage tool?

Seeing him remain silent, Fu Zhennan looked at Chu Yaoyao with a meaningful gaze, “You know this person too. She’s Yaoyao. Yaoyao is a good girl and she’s a good match for you. So, you don’t have to worry about a woman with ulterior motives like Su Yu getting close to you anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the dinner table started cheering.
“Wow! It’s the Fu family’s honor to have a marriage alliance with the Chu family. Yunian, you’re so lucky!”
“Yeah, the Fu family is going to have a great wedding again! It looks like we elders will be able to have grandchildren soon!”
“You can get married this year, and we’ll be able to have grandchildren next year. Yunian, hurry up!”
Everyone was talking with each other as if today was their wedding day.
Seeing that everyone agreed to this marriage, Fu Zhennan was even happier. He quickly asked, “If it’s possible, next Friday would be a good day. You can get engaged first. Yaoyao, what do you think?”
He didn’t ask for Fu Yunian’s opinion. Instead, he looked directly at Chu Yaoyao, who was sitting next to him.
Chu Yaoyao was already very excited. Seeing that Fu Zhennan was asking her, she quickly lowered her head shyly. “Uncle, it’s fine as long as you decide.”
She couldn’t wait to get married to Fu Yunian right away. How could she have any objections?
“If Yaoyao doesn’t think it’s a problem, then you’ll get engaged next Friday!” Fu Zhennan didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity. He immediately set a date. He was afraid that it would be too late.

He thought Fu Yunian had not said anything because he had no objections. Who knew that at this time, he coldly and decisively said, “No!”
This time, he would never allow anyone else to interfere in his love life!
His rejection made Fu Zhennan suddenly feel embarrassed, and his tone became a little angry. “Why not? Yaoyao is so good! Do you want to go down alone and cut off the Fu family’s descendants? Or have you not forgotten that woman?”
Thinking of the woman who killed the old master, Fu Zhennan was also angry. He should not have allowed that woman to enter the house in the first place!

Fu Yunian only felt that it was ridiculous. What did it have to do with them, whether he was single or not? They were only thinking about the Chu family’s business in their hearts.
“If Yaoyao is so good, you can just marry her then!” He smiled contemptuously, his face full of disdain.
Fu Zhennan was so angry that he slammed the table and yelled, “B*stard! What are you saying?”
Chu Yaoyao also looked like she had been wronged. Her tears were already in the corner of her eyes as she cried, “Yunian, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t you look at me?!”
Everyone felt pity for Chu Yaoyao, even Fu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but try to persuade him, “Yunian! Yaoyao is much prettier than Su Yu! She’s also the daughter of the Chu family, she’s on the same level as you! What’s so good about that crazy girl? Just marry Yaoyao!”
1
Over the years, Fu Jiaojiao had taken a lot of benefits from Chu Yaoyao. If Chu Yaoyao became her sister-in-law, there would be plenty of benefits! Plus, she was annoyed whenever she saw Su Yu. She also knew how much he meant to Su Yu. If she managed to get Fu Yunian and Chu Yaoyao together, that b*tch Su Yu would definitely be pissed off!
“Shut up!”
Just as Fu Jiaojiao was dreaming, Fu Yunian’s harsh words scared her so much that she did not dare to say another word.
Everyone was stunned by his sudden outburst. They did not dare to breathe loudly and only looked at the father and son quietly, afraid that they would be implicated.
“I won’t agree to this marriage!” Fu Yunian stared at Fu Zhennan, his eyes filled with anger.
However, Fu Zhennan’s temper was also provoked. He immediately stood up and lashed out. “It’s not up to you!”
Before he could finish his words, Fu Yunian stood up and left. He didn’t want to stay for another minute.
“Stop!” Fu Zhennan was also extremely angry at his actions. However, no matter how tough he was, Fu Yunian never stopped walking.
Chu Yaoyao was also angry inside, but, on the surface, she pretended to be filial and understanding to comfort Fu Zhennan, who was still angry, “Uncle, don’t be angry. Yunian has been under too much pressure at work recently and half of the Fu Corporation assets were taken away by that woman. Right now, Yunian has been busy with work, so he was a little anxious just now.”
She deliberately revealed the fact that Su Yu had taken half of the Fu family’s assets to Fu Zhennan, anticipating his reaction.
She knew that Fu Yunian would never reveal this to Fu Zhennan. Plus, they rarely interacted with each other, so it was even harder for him to find out.
“What? ! She’s taken half of the Fu family’s assets? !” As expected, Fu Zhennan was shocked and angry when he heard that Su Yu had taken half of the Fu family’s assets. This was exactly what she wanted. As long as everyone in the Fu family hated Su Yu, no matter how much Fu Yunian liked her, she would never be able to enter the Fu family’s home again!

Chu Yaoyao immediately nodded her head, her heart aching, “That’s right. Even Yunian couldn’t do anything to her. The court’s decision was unreasonable, and I don’t know what deal they had. But, uncle, don’t worry. With me around, I will definitely help Yunian.”
As she scolded Su Yu, she raised herself up. This made Fu Zhennan feel even better about her. “It’s all thanks to you, Yaoyao! I’ll leave Yunian to you! You’re the only daughter-in-law in the Fu Family!”

Fu Zhennan’s heart was filled with gratitude as he expressed his gratitude in front of the entire family.. This reassured Chu Yaoyao and made her even prouder.
