Chapter 449: Chapter 450: Treating Grandpa Chu (Part 6)
As Chu Huan spoke, she started to sob quietly, and her pitiful appearance immediately tugged at Li Xinyaâs heartstrings. After all, she and Chu Huan had grown up together, with over ten years of friendship; how could she bear to see her good friend upset?
"Sister Huan, donât cry! Rest assured, Iâm on your side, and I definitely support you in becoming my Saozi. Who does Gu Nianyang think she is!"
"Really? Xinya, you must help me. I only have you now. If even you donât help me, Iâm really done for!"
Although Chu Huan had always looked down on Li Xinya as a fool, who else but her could help? She was Li Tingyanâs only sister.
"I wonât leave you hanging, for sure! You have no idea how much I want you to become my Saozi. Itâs all because of Gu Nianyang that Iâve been scolded by my brother. If she becomes my Saozi, with my brotherâs tendency to forget his sister after marrying, my future will surely be miserable!"
Li Xinya said angrily, then held Chu Huanâs hand.
"And Sister Huan, donât worry. Gu Nianyang is messing things up herself. By tomorrow, sheâll definitely be kicked out, and then youâll have your chance!"
"What do you mean?"
Li Xinya told her brotherâs words about Nianyang studying Chinese medicine and helping Zhang Yun with his illness in detail, and then grumbled, "I think my brother is just trying to get the family to quickly accept Gu Nianyang. Thatâs why he told such an outrageous lie, even having Gu Nianyang prepare a medicinal meal for Saozi. I saw Gu Nianyang had already started cooking when I left. You know you canât just prescribe Chinese herbs like that. Sister Huan, you just wait for her to kill the Li familyâs little grandson with her concoction and be locked up. Once she has a stain on her record, she canât marry my brother, right!"
Chu Huanâs eyes suddenly lit up, feeling she saw hope for her life.
After chatting a little more with Li Xinya, she quickly went back to her room.
Upon entering, Chu Huan went to the living room with red eyes to complain to Yunrou.
"Mom, Brother Tingyan has found another woman and plans to break your and Aunt Liâs agreement not to marry me!"
Yunrou quickly pulled Chu Huan into her arms, "Little Huan, donât cry, donât cry, tell me clearly, what do you mean Li Tingyan found another woman? When did this happen?"
"Just today, I went to the Big Courtyard entrance to meet him, and saw him holding hands with another woman. He said he wouldnât marry me but would marry her. Mom, you know Iâve waited for Brother Tingyan for so many years; I just want to marry him. But he doesnât want me. What should I do?"
Yunrou sighed, "Little Huan, love requires mutual feelings. Since Li Tingyan has found the girl he loves, you shouldnât be fixated on him!"
Chu Huan pushed Yunrou away, "Mom, how can you say that? Shouldnât you be thinking of ways to help me marry Brother Tingyan now?
Has all my past devotion been in vain?"
"Li Tingyan doesnât have feelings for you. What can I do as your mom?"
"You are the City Lordâs Wife! You can talk to Dad, and then go negotiate with the Li Family, making Brother Tingyan marry me!"
"Little Huan, itâs not ancient times now. Neither your dad nor I are the Emperor; we canât issue an edict forcing someone to marry you!
Plus, your dad has only been the City Lord for a few years, without stable roots, and canât make such rude moves!"
"Then thereâs Grandpa!" Chu Huan said urgently, "Isnât Grandpa a city lord for decades? Grandpa has even more prestige!"
