Chapter 448: Chapter 449: Treating Grandpa Chu (Part 5)
Chu Huan still wanted to argue that if Li Tingyan married her, he would rise rapidly in his career. But she knew the Li Family never cared much about fame and fortune. Li Zhenhua was in the investment banking sector and avoided taking shortcuts. Even if he wanted to, he couldnât do it openly.
Shang Wan patted Chu Huanâs hair, "Little Huan, youâre a very good girl, but unfortunately, Tingyan doesnât have the fortune to have you. You should give up on Tingyan. With your qualities, youâll find a man better than Tingyan!"
Chu Huanâs eyes welled up with tears, and she didnât speak. In her heart, she started to resent Shang Wan. How could this old woman treat her like this?
She said she considered her a daughter, yet gave up on her so easily. It was so unreliable!
She didnât want to marry another man. She wanted to marry Li Tingyan!
Perhaps with her current status, she could indeed choose someone better!
But Chu Huan had a discerning eye for talent. She knew Li Tingyan had great potential. It might not be obvious now, but in the future, he would surely be boundless.
However, Chu Huan didnât refute Shang Wanâs words directly. She simply lowered her head and said,
"Auntie, let me think it over. Iâll try my best to forget about Brother Tingyan!"
"Such an understanding child. Even if you canât be my daughter-in-law, youâll still be like half a daughter to me. Feel free to visit whenever you have time."
"I understand, Aunt Li."
Chu Huan obediently replied, turned, and continued to walk out. Shang Wan didnât see her off any further and went back inside.
As soon as Shang Wan went into the house, Li Xinya used the excuse of going to the restroom to run out and catch up with Chu Huan.
Because Chu Huan was just scolded by her brother until she cried. As Chu Huanâs good friend, she had to comfort her at times like this!
Little did she know, Chu Huan was feeling annoyed. Instead of finding warmth in Li Xinyaâs concern, she found it overbearing and even felt that she was mocking her.
If Li Xinya really cared about her, she should have stood up for her just now and helped shoo Nianyang away!
Now coming with good intentions, itâs just disgusting!
Li Xinya noticed Chu Huan wasnât in high spirits, "Whatâs wrong, Sister Huan? Are you mad because I didnât help when my brother talked to you just now? I didnât mean not to help. Iâve already tried targeting that Gu Nianyang many times. My brother scolded me badly. Iâm afraid if I overdo it with Nianyang, my brother will hit me..."
Sigh, so Li Xinya also realized her actions earlier were too much.
In an understanding tone, Chu Huan said, "Xinya, Iâm not mad. I know youâve tried hard to help me. Itâs me whoâs useless, unable to keep Brother Tingyanâs heart. Itâs all my fault..."
"Itâs not your fault at all, Sister Huan. Youâre so wonderful, itâs Gu Nianyang who seduced my brother. Sheâs a vixen who came between you and my brother. She doesnât deserve him at all. Only you do!"
Hearing this, Chu Huan thought, isnât this just stating the obvious?
How could Gu Nianyang ever compare to her? Only she deserved Li Tingyan!
"But Xinya, what can I do if Brother Tingyan likes Gu Nianyang? Aunt Li also asked me to give up. I donât want to give up on Brother Tingyan. What should I do?"
