Chu Qing had no answer to this question, and no one could provide him with one. Frustrated, he found himself complaining about this cursed world day after day. As a result of this delay, by the time Chu Qing returned home, it was already well past dinner time.
He pushed open the door. His father was clearing away the leftovers from the dining table. His mother was sitting on the sofa, talking to an overweight woman who weighed two hundred pounds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChu Qing’s sudden arrival disrupted the previously peaceful atmosphere, causing an abrupt chill to descend. His father’s expression instantly shifted, caught off guard by Chu Qing’s return. He hadn’t anticipated Chu Qing coming back so soon. Hadn’t he explicitly instructed Chu Qing to lay low and remain outside for the next few days?
Chu Qing’s mother was still conversing with the overweight woman, discussing Chu Qing’s supposed participation in extracurricular tutoring for the past couple of days, and emphasizing that he wouldn’t be returning home. However, her words were contradicted in the blink of an eye, which came as a shock and humiliation. The situation unfolded unexpectedly, leaving her at a loss for words.
“You’re Chu Qing, right?” The overweight woman was the first to speak and break the stalemate.
“Yes, and you are?” Chu Qing inquired, recognizing that this woman was his fiancee. He couldn’t help but notice her thick arms and legs, which were truly remarkable. Surprisingly, her face appeared fair and not as greasy as he had initially imagined.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Gong Yue, your fiancee,” Gong Yue greeted in a friendly manner.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Chu Qing couldn’t find any happiness in the situation. Being forced into a fiancee without any valid reason was not something anyone would be pleased about. Furthermore, he didn’t feel fortunate to have such a fiancee. Chu Qing still held the most basic aesthetic standards.
“Gong Yue, right? Don’t spout nonsense. I don’t have a fiancee.” Chu Qing didn’t show any mercy to the uninvited Gong Yue.
“Flehe, doesn’t Young Master Chu know? Didn’t you tell him, Auntie Chu? Coincidentally, 1 have a marriage contract here that I can show Young Master Chu.” As Gong Yue spoke, she took out a paper scroll tied with red silk and threw it to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing didn’t want to accept it at first, but when he saw his parents staring fixedly at the so-called marriage contract, he could only accept it unwillingly.
It seemed that Gong Yue had been here for so long, but no one had seen the marriage contract. He didn’t know what she was up to.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a sneer, Chu Qing untied the red ribbon and glanced at the so-called marriage contract. He then redirected his gaze toward Gong Yue. “1 have no idea who Chu Anlan is. She’s the one who signed this marriage contract. Let her marry you instead. In any case, I refuse to acknowledge it. I wish you both a joyous marriage,” he declared, his words laced with a hint of sarcasm.
This marriage contract was indeed about Chu Qing and Gong Yue’s engagement. However, on behalf of the Chu family, the person who signed this marriage contract was not Chu Qing himself or his parents, but a name that even Chu Qing had never heard of: Chu Anlan.
After Chu Qing said this, the smile on Gong Yue’s face did not fade. On the other hand, when his parents heard the name Chu Anlan, their expressions turned ugly as if they had recalled something terrible.
“It doesn’t matter if you admit it or not. You just need to know that there’s such a thing. I think Uncle and Auntie will admit it, right?” Gong Yue sounded like she was talking to Chu Qing, but she ignored him and looked at his mother.
Chu Qing’s mother looked troubled. Chu Qing glared at Gong Yue. She was simply threatening him. Although Chu Qing didn’t know Chu Anlan, these three words had a huge impact on his parents.
Gong Yue looked back at Chu Qing lazily. She was unmoved by Chu Qing’s gaze. It was obvious that she did not take Chu Qing seriously at all.
Enraged, Chu Qing was prepared to tear the marriage contract in his hand into two. However, just as he was about to do so, Gong Yue seemed to have anticipated his action and spoke slowly, “Think carefully. It’s easy to tear it apart, but it’s difficult to put it back together. Grandma Chu has a bad temper..”
