With excitement, Yang Bailiu and I returned to the Chen family villa all the way.
By this time, the house had been decorated with white hangings, white couplets were pasted on the door, and the mourning hall was also decorated.
The old man's body was lying in the mourning hall, but because the coffin had not been purchased yet, the body could only rest on the table temporarily.
One after another, some people began to come to express their condolences, but I had basically become a transparent person, and everyone in the Chen family did not care to pay attention to me, they were all busy with the funeral of the old man.
Yang Bailiu, as a famous Feng Shui master in Jiangcheng and an old friend of Master Chen Wu during his lifetime, naturally assumed the role of hosting the funeral.
Everyone in the Chen family also wore sackcloth and mourning, greeted guests and accompanied them in rituals such as worship.
I was like an outsider and could only watch from the sidelines. After all, I was indeed an outsider.
Chen Wuye was quite well-connected and prestigious in Jiangcheng, and there was an endless stream of people coming to express condolences, which lasted until night.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then I saw that the second son of the Chen family, Chen Baichuan, who had disappeared for two days, was also back.
However, he looked very haggard. He probably tried his best to get back after hearing the news of the old man's death.
Accompanying him back were a skinny old man in his sixties and an imposing young man.
"dad......"
As soon as Chen Baichuan entered the mourning hall, he shouted loudly, then knelt down in front of the old man's coffin, crying so hard that his heart was broken and he was heartbroken.
Others hurriedly came forward to comfort me, while I looked at the old man and young man who came back with Chen Baichuan.
The old man's face was very fierce, and there was an evil aspect among the five elements. At first glance, he was not a good person.
There is a saying in physiognomy that one can know destiny by observing the five elements, and connect yin and yang to judge life and death. These five elements are called the five sense organs of a person in physiognomy, and good, bad, bad, and good fortune are all written on the face.
I am a layman in this area, but I can still roughly tell the good and evil of a person through his facial features.
As for the young man, he was wearing a neat suit and looked very talented, but he looked very arrogant and looked like a playboy.
Since these two people came back with Chen Baichuan, they must have been the ones who fished Chen Baichuan out.
To have such ability, the identity of the other party must be unusual.
But I didn't care, because I felt that no matter what the other person's identity was, it definitely had nothing to do with me.
But what I didn't expect was that the young man walked directly to Chen Yurou and started talking. Apparently they had known each other before.
"Yurou, I heard that your grandfather asked you to marry a poor boy from the countryside. Is it true?"
The young man looked at Chen Yurou and asked in disbelief.
"This is none of your business."
Chen Yurou said expressionlessly.
"How can it be none of my business? You should know very well what I think. Now that the old man is dead, you don't have to marry that poor boy? How can such a useless man be worthy of you?
?”
The young man said with disdain.
When I heard this, I immediately got a little angry. Who does this guy think he is? He sounds like a poor boy and a useless man. If it wasn't inappropriate for the situation, I would just go up and slap him.
"Mr. Yuan, no matter who I marry, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about this."
Chen Yurou also looked at the young man with some disgust.
"Yurou, you have to think clearly."
The young man frowned and said with an unhappy expression: "Marriage is a lifelong matter. If you get angry and marry a loser, your life will be ruined. If you look back now, it's still too late. I
I can still marry you as the young mistress of the Yuan family and give you the dignity that no one else can give you..."
"Master Yuan, please be respectful, I already have a fiancé."
Chen Yurou's pretty face was slightly cold, and she interrupted him directly.
Seeing Chen Yurou rejecting the other party so simply, I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, so I hurriedly walked over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped forward, the young man greeted me directly, "Go and get me a glass of water."
His tone was completely commanding, and after he finished speaking, he looked at me from head to toe, and then chuckled: "Yurou, are all your servants hired from the countryside?"
What does your body smell like? Why don’t you wash it off?”
As he spoke, he deliberately covered his nose, looking very disgusted.
"Yuan Wenkai, if you don't like our Chen family, then leave quickly. No one will let you stay here."
When Chen Yurou saw the other party humiliating me like this, she became angry.
"Are you driving me away?"
Yuan Wenkai's face suddenly darkened.
"I'm not driving you away, I'm telling you to get lost."
I looked at Yuan Wenkai coldly and said.
This guy has made rude remarks over and over again, which has made me very unhappy. Now he is looking at Chen Yurou with such a threatening look, which I can't stand anymore.
"What did you say? Do you know who I am?"
Yuan Wenkai turned his head and looked at me with a slightly ferocious expression.
"Then do you know who I am?"
I stared at him without hesitation.
Anyway, I have the blessing of great luck, why am I afraid that he will become a playboy?
"Brother Wenkai, he is my sister's fiancé, that bumpkin from the countryside. He is not polite. You must not be like him."
Chen Yuxin quickly stepped forward and took Yuan Wenkai's arm, saying sweetly.
"Not polite? Then there are always polite people in your Chen family, right?"
Yuan Wenkai said and threw Chen Yuxin away.
At this time, Chen Baili and the others also discovered what was going on here, and the three brothers quickly ran over.
"Master Yuan, I'm really sorry that you have helped our Chen family so much and I haven't even had the chance to thank you yet."
Chen Baili looked at Yuan Wenkai with a flattering expression on his face.
"There's no need to thank you. I came here this time to represent our Yuan Group to discuss a marriage with your Chen family, but now it seems that this matter won't be possible."
Yuan Wenkai glanced at me as he spoke, with a bit of a sneer on his face.
When Chen Baili heard this, he suddenly became excited and said with joy on his face: "It is a great honor for our Chen family to be able to marry with the Yuan Group. This matter will definitely happen. Mr. Yuan, you just need to say a word
, which daughter of my Chen family do you like? I am the eldest son of the Chen family, and now that the old man is gone, I can definitely make the decision on this matter."
As soon as I heard this, my brows immediately wrinkled with joy.
This old man hasn't even gone to the funeral yet, but he directly started talking about the marriage of the daughter of the Chen family, and he was still in the mourning hall. Isn't it too outrageous?
"Of course you can make the decision, because what I like is your daughter."
Yuan Wenkai said as he looked at Chen Yurou with a half-smile, as if he was in control.
"Master Yuan, I have made it very clear that I have a fiancé, and this marriage was decided by my grandfather. I will definitely abide by this engagement, so you should give up on this."
Chen Yurou gritted her teeth and said with a very firm expression.
"What are you talking about?"
Chen Baili quickly scolded Chen Yurou, and then said with a stern face: "How can such a verbal engagement count? Besides, Chang Ming was chosen by the old man, and it's not you who fell in love with him. What engagement do you abide by?"
"Mr. Yuan, Rou'er is indeed engaged, what do you think of Xin'er?"
Chen Baichuan said and quickly pulled Chen Yuxin over.
"What do you mean, dick?"
When Chen Baili heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
At that moment, I was really heartbroken. I never thought that rich people like them could go so low in order to cling to richer people? They even lost face.
This simply refreshed my perspective.
If Mr. Chen Wu saw that his son was so virtuous, he would probably be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin, right?
