Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Meet him personally?” Ye Muyu was slightly shocked. Even girls living away from their families were very rare in this era, let alone girls casual as the Third Miss of the Wang family.
“That’s right. The Third Miss of the Wang Family found an opportunity to meet Song Lu in the inn.” Chu Heng knew that Ye Muyu was a gossipy person, so he naturally told her what she wanted to hear.
Seeing the woman’s bright eyes flash with surprise and shock because of his words, he found it interesting.
“Then Song Lu also knows the reason why the Third Young Miss Wang wants to see him?” Ye Muyu gasped. This was even more difficult for Chu Qingxiang than she had expected.
“After the meeting, he would naturally know.”
Chu Heng was very casual. “However, he seemed to have rejected Third Young Miss Wang’s proposal on the spot. He also said that he already has a fiancée and that the wedding date is approaching. He asked Third Young Miss Wang to choose another good person.”
“And then?” Ye Muyu thought that Song Lu had some merits in this aspect, but that was all.
“Then, the Third Young Miss Wang felt that he was a loyal man and wanted to marry him even more.”
“She said that if Song Lu was already married, she would have agreed to give up. But now, since he’s not married, it means that the person she wants to marry will never escape her grasp.”
Ye Muyu fell silent.
“Song Lu immediately stated that he would never marry her no matter what.”
“Third Young Miss Wang thought of a way to interfere with this marriage by directly getting involved with the elders of the Song family.”
“Perhaps Song Lu felt that since he had rejected Third Young Miss Wang, she wouldn’t be so persistent about this matter. In addition, the exams are coming soon, so he has been living in the dormitory allocated by the school and interacting with his classmates. He hasn’t returned to the village for half a month.”
“So, you’re saying that Song Lu doesn’t know what the Song family did?” Ye
Muyu asked.
“Not bad.” Chu Heng nodded.
“But it ends today.”
“You told him?” Ye Muyu asked.
“Yes, I also analyzed the benefits he would get from marrying the Third Young Miss Wang and the daughter of the Chu family.” Chu Heng said it naturally.
Ye Muyu was flabbergasted. She felt that only Chu Heng could do such a thing.
Would this not be putting Song Lu in a dilemma?
The benefits of marrying Chu Qingxiang were definitely not as much as Third Young Miss Wang, especially in helping him obtain fame.
However, if he married Third Young Miss Wang, he would lose his freedom. With the Wang family’s power, Third Young Miss Wang would definitely put on airs in front of his parents, and the relationship in the family would definitely be tense.
“Speaking of which, choosing Third Young Miss Wang will just make his family suffer a little. They no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear.” Ye Muyu said calmly. Although she said that, there was no smile on her face.
“It’s just letting him choose between power and self-esteem.” Chu Heng’s expression was indifferent, not caring about Song Lu’s choice at all.
“What about Father and Mother?” Ye Muyu asked.
“I’ve already asked Lu Chuan to explain the situation. After that, it has nothing to do with us,” Chu Heng said gently.
What he meant was that no matter what Chu Qingxiang did, he would not interfere as her uncle if she was bullied by the Song family.
Chu Heng’s indifference surprised Ye Muyu. She felt that his reaction was a little strange.
Chu Heng noticed her confusion, but he did not know how to explain what happened in his previous life. After all, even if Chu Qingxiang got married in her previous life, she still schemed against Madam Ye..
