chapter 2
At this time, in the Chu family villa.
A dignified-looking middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
He is none other than Chu Jianxiong, the current head of the Chu family.
Chu Fengling, the old man of the Chu family, has two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son Chu Jianlin, the second son Chu Jianxiong, and the daughter Chu Jianying.
The eldest son Chu Jianlin became a vegetative state due to a car accident, and the second son Chu Jianxiong became the head of the Chu family.
The Chu family chose a son-in-law this time for the sake of Chu Jianlin's eldest daughter, Chu Ruochen.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Chu family was organizing a son-in-law selection for Chu Ruochen to find a good match.
The truth of the matter is that when Chu Ruochen was born, the Chu family asked someone to tell her. The fortune teller at that time said that Chu Ruochen's horoscope conflicted with Mr. Chu's, and she must be expelled from the Chu family before she turned twenty-four.
Otherwise, Chu Ruochen will restrain the old man's health and luck.
Mr. Chu is a very superstitious person about Feng Shui. Because of the fortune teller's words, he has never given Chu Ruochen a good look in the past twenty years.
Of course, Mr. Chu cannot openly expel Chu Ruochen from the Chu family, as this will inevitably attract criticism.
Marrying her off is the best way.
This time, Chu Ruochen's selection of a son-in-law was handled by Chu Jianxiong under the instruction of Mr. Chu.
"Dad, who is this bundle, and how did he squeeze out Feng Rui from Changhui Group?"
Next to him, Chu Jianxiong’s youngest daughter Chu Wenmin asked.
She is the same age as Chu Ruochen, and she has not dealt with Chu Ruochen since she was a child. This time Chu Ruochen chooses a son-in-law, she is waiting for a good show.
"Second Miss, in the second round, Mr. Feng's bodyguard underestimated the opponent, and he lost the competition because of Zhang Shu's sneak attack."
A middle-aged man replied that he was the middle-aged man who hosted the second round of competition, named Liang Qing.
"I see. I'm talking about an orphan and a jobless vagrant. How can such a person enter the third round?"
"But it's a pity. Feng Ruina is a scum among scum. I thought before that if he married Chu Ruochen, Chu Ruochen would never be able to stand up again in this life." Chu Wenmin said with regret.
Chu Ruochen is the top ten beauties in Shanghai. Chu Wenmin has been living under Chu Ruochen's halo ever since, and she feels extremely unwilling to do so.
So she wanted to use this choice of son-in-law to trample Chu Ruochen under her feet and never be able to stand up again.
Chu Jianxiong laughed and said: "Don't worry, the ones left in the third round are not good ones. No matter who she marries, she will definitely not be able to make any waves in her life."
"After she gets married, I will cancel her qualification as a representative of Shuntong Shares, and then you will be the general manager of Shuntong."
"Really? Dad!" Chu Wenmin's eyes lit up.
"Of course."
"Dad! You are so kind!"
...
At night, in a bar.
"Ruochen, please stop drinking. If you drink any more, you'll get drunk."
Fang Weiran snatched the wine glass from Chu Ruochen's hand.
Chu Ruochen lay weakly on the bar, smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do besides getting drunk?"
"Don't be like this. If you don't want to get married, just go and beg your grandfather. No matter what, he will still be your grandfather." Fang Weiran advised.
"Oh, my grandpa..." Chu Ruochen's eyes were full of pain: "I am not a granddaughter in his heart at all. He wishes that I would leave the Chu family as soon as possible."
"The worst case scenario is that you just leave the Chu family. Why did you agree to them choosing a son-in-law?" Fang Weiran asked confused.
"Do you think I do?" Chu Ruochen sneered and said, "If I don't agree, my second uncle will stop my dad's treatment."
Fang Weiran sighed.
Chu Ruochen's father, Chu Jianlin, became a vegetative state after being involved in a car accident five years ago.
Over the years, in order to pay Chu Jianlin's huge medical expenses, Chu Ruochen continued to mortgage his family's real estate and company shares to Chu Jianxiong, so that Chu Jianlin could maintain his treatment.
"Ruochen." Fang Weiran looked at Chu Ruochen and said, "I know you are very filial, but after so long... is it worth it for you to trade your life-long happiness?"
Chu Ruochen shook his head: "My mother is gone. I can't lose my father again. Even if there is only a little hope, I can't give up."
"You are so stupid!" Fang Weiran could only sigh helplessly.
...
The next afternoon.
The lobby on the first floor of the Chu family.
The third round was still hosted by Liang Qing, who gave a general introduction to the process.
Each family sent people to see Mr. Chu one by one, and then wrote out a diagnosis and treatment plan. In the end, Zhao Qingfeng, a famous doctor hired by the Chu family, made the final decision.
After the introduction, the competition began.
The doctors brought by each family entered the rest room next to him one by one to examine Mr. Chu.
At this time, in the lounge on the second floor of the Chu family.
"Ruochen, I really envy you. There are so many young talents fighting for your head!" Chu Wenmin said with false affection, crossing her legs.
Chu Ruochen stared expressionlessly at the big screen on the wall, which showed the surveillance screen of the lobby on the first floor.
"What do you think of this Zhou Zihao? He is quite handsome and his family is in good condition. However, I heard that he likes to hook up with married women."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like him. How about this Yang Li? He is an only son and spends a lot of money. However, I heard that he has raised several Internet celebrities."
"This Wu Shaojie is not bad either. He is tall and has a good taste in clothes. However, I heard that he has a bad temper and often sends his girlfriend to the hospital.
"How about this Zhang Shu? Although he doesn't have any conditions, he is an orphan. If you marry him, you won't have to provide for him. Hahahahaha..."
Chu Wenmin has been gloating at the side all the time, just because he wants to disgust Chu Ruochen in front of him.
This time she chose her husband secretly.
The people she invited were all dandies with a bad reputation.
Even if she wanted to get married, Chu Wenmin didn't want Chu Ruochen to have an easy time.
Chu Ruochen said nothing, but his mood had hit rock bottom.
She couldn't imagine what kind of gloomy life she would have.
...
Downstairs lobby!
After each consultation for Mr. Chu, each family wrote out a diagnosis and treatment plan and waited for the results.
Not long after, Zhao Qingfeng walked out.
He shook his head and said: "I have read all your diagnosis and treatment plans, what a pity..."
"None of the plans stood out to me. They were all clichés that only addressed the symptoms but not the root cause."
"So no one wins in the third round."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sighed.
Cold syndrome is a rare and difficult disease, and it is reasonable that no one can cure it.
After the silence calmed down, Chu Jianxiong stood up and said: "Since there is no winner in the third round, then let's just call Ruochen out and let her choose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ruochen appeared at the stairs on the second floor.
She walked down slowly while holding on to the handrail, and her graceful posture was vivid in her movements.
Everyone was attracted by Chu Ruochen's beauty and figure.
Many people couldn't hide the look of salivation on their faces.
Zhang Shu's eyelids trembled, he had never seen Chu Ruochen before.
He didn't expect Chu Ruochen to be so beautiful!
The moment he saw Chu Ruochen, his heart skipped a beat.
However, what confused Zhang Shu was that there was no smile on Chu Ruochen's face.
Instead, he felt a trace of sadness from Chu Ruochen's eyes.
A kind of sadness of having no love in life!
Chu Jianxiong said to Chu Ruochen: "Ruochen, come and tell everyone who your favorite son-in-law is."
Chu Ruochen's lips were tightly closed and his face was very gloomy.
After some struggle, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her fingers...
