Chapter 654: Told You This Kid Was Like A Monkey
After Lin Chuxue and Xu Cheng followed Zhou Zhen inside, all the guests were chit chatting about what happened outside and how they didn’t think Elder Zhou would step up for Lin Chuxue.
Elder Zhou had never involved himself in any problems, so how he stood out this time was a good signal to everyone that Lin Chuxue was not just an actress in the entertainment industry, but someone with a background.
In fact, as long as she added Xu Cheng’s wife to her t.i.tle, it would be enough to protect her whether she was in Yanjing or outside, since Xu Cheng’s reputation was becoming more well known. The older generation would have heard it from the five seniors, and most of those who are somewhat capable know the relationship between Xu Cheng and these five seniors. It was just very puzzling that Lin Chuxue was actually Xu Cheng’s wife, and so it could only be counted towards bad luck that the Zeng Family offended her on such an occasion. For someone to be invited over to partic.i.p.ate in this wedding meant that they were not simple, but those five younger generation people were too arrogant and bad mannered.
“No wonder no one in the entertainment industry dared to ask Lin Chuxue out. Gosh, that’s a solid background there,” a young man said.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that someone as low key as her would actually be married to Xu Cheng. No wonder she didn’t have any scandals and didn’t show any interest in other men.”
“Luckily I messed with the other artists instead of her. Zeng Huan is definitely out of luck this time; his wrist was broken and his father didn’t dare to let out a single fart afterwards.”
“If your dad was in this situation, you’ll have to just live and accept your broken hand and now be able to do anything about it. Oh well, after all, he was the one touching the wrong person, and now we know it was the same as touching a tiger’s a*s.”
“No wonder. I was wondering why she wanted to quit the entertainment industry; it’s because of her relationship with Xu Cheng, and gosh she hid it so deep.”
Xu Cheng heard all of their discussions as Lin Chuxue sat down by his side; at that table, they were the first to arrive. Not long after, Elder Nie, Elder Zhou, and Elder Guo all entered the scene right before the wedding was to start, and after greeting the guests, they sat down at the same table where Xu Cheng was sitting.
Lin Chuxue was very conscientious about giving up her seat and was ready to make way to the other ladies’ area to find a place to sit.
But Xu Cheng suddenly pulled Lin Chuxue’s wrist and said, “Sit down.”
Lin Chuxue looked at the three elderly and then at Xu Cheng in a dilemma, but she still knew that she did not qualify to sit here, so she wanted to break away from Xu Cheng’s hand to not make a fool of themselves.
However, Xu Cheng did not let go, and instead he turned to the three of them. “Grandpas, she is my wife. Let me introduce her to you all, this is Lin Chuxue.”
Elder Zhou didn’t say anything, but it was Elder Nie who had a strong aura and asked Lin Chuxue, “Are you sure you want to sit here?”
Lin Chuxue’s body trembled as all three of them had a powerful and suppressing aura.
Aside from them in this table, all the other seats were at least five meters apart.
Xu Cheng spoke up, “Seven years ago, she was like a princess and I was a foster child; at that time, she was willing to marry me and come to Huaxia. Four years ago, she had a skyrocketing career as Lin Chuxue, and I was a soldier. She chose not to divorce me and did not betray our marriage in this entertainment industry, which as you all know is filled with all sorts of people. Now that I am famous, do you think, with my character, I would divorce my wife?”
Having heard Xu Cheng’s words, Lin Chuxue’s struggling hands suddenly relaxed, and she then directly sat on her chair. She felt that Xu Cheng’s words were directed to her, and reminding her that his heart and feelings remained unchanged!
They were childhood sweethearts and had been together no matter what. But why was it that as Xu Cheng’s social status grew higher and higher, the things she had to worry about grew more and more? Wouldn’t that kill the tacit understanding between them?
Were the feelings not real? Then if it was true, why would she be afraid of it? Xu Cheng’s status was even more prestigious now, so what? Lin Chuxue had stayed with Xu Cheng when he was down and out, but now that Xu Cheng has made a name for himself, did he have to abandon his wife because he thinks that she wasn’t worth it?
Lin Chuxue felt that Xu Cheng was angry with her, that the rapport between the two of them had vanished over the years!
She all of the sudden realized that no matter what they were going to face in the future, they could do it together. She had already given up her acting career because of Xu Cheng and was preparing to study abroad to prepare for the future management of Xu Cheng’s family business. She had already thought of sticking with Xu Cheng regardless of where they went. So in that case, why would she be afraid and what was there to avoid?
“Grandpas, I am Xu Cheng’s wife. My name is Lin Chuxue, and you can call me Little Xue.”
Lin Chuxue took a deep breath as she stood up and extended her hand without being ignorant nor humble. She introduced herself to the three of them with a polite and natural demeanor.
The three elderly were stunned for a bit, and Elder Zhou suddenly laughed and relaxed as he generously reached out and shook Lin Chuxue’s hand, smiling. “I have given you the jade pendant, and it’s too late to make things difficult for you now, Little Xue, is it not? Very good, you’re a good girl. This boy has good eyes, but you’re even better. You can value his future, so that makes you smarter than any other women in the world.”
Lin Chuxue let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Grandpa Zhou.”
Elder Zhou nodded. “To be honest, Xu Cheng is a national treasure, and since we love him, we should cherish his feathers. However, he was born on the wild side. We don’t want to be too strict, just in case he doesn’t want to come back after heading out. We wanted to find him a woman worthy of his background, just so that he can settle down in Huaxia and know how to come back home later. But after testing the boy that day, something similar to what happened just now occurred; he pounded the table and turned his att.i.tude, so we aren’t forcing it anymore. We can’t even control this kid, but you can, so you are qualified to sit here.”
Xu Cheng was speechless. “Grandpa Zhou, why do I feel like you’re making me sound like a mad dog?”
“Aren’t you one?” Elder Xing happened to walk in and glared at Xu Cheng as he took his seat. “You are a little mad dog. Whoever messes with you has bad luck, especially your wife. Look at you, this time you came back and have had a tensed expression towards all of us today. Why?”
“You want me to not tense up for you guys, right?” Xu Cheng smacked his lips. “Alright.”
Then he unscrewed the bottle of Wuliangye Hard Liquor and poured a full cup of it, He then handed the cup to Lin Chuxue and said, “Honey, give Grandpa Xing a toast.”
Lin Chuxue nodded and stood up as she politely picked up the cup with an elegant demeanor and said, “Grandpa Xing, cheers.”
Elder Xing looked at Lin Chuxue and then at Xu Cheng with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
Xu Cheng pointed his thumb at Lin Chuxue and said to Elder Xing, “Your granddaughter is toasting you, drink up.”
Elder Xing’s face looked as if he was struggling.
In the end, he still took Lin Chuxue’s cup and drank it down in one gulp. He then looked at Xu Cheng with an airy face. “Little b—–d, satisfied?”
Lin Chuxue curiously leaned to Xu Cheng and asked, “This Grandpa Xing’s mood doesn’t seem too good.”
Xu Cheng laughed and said in a low voice, “Because the girl they found for me to get married with was Grandpa Xing’s favorite granddaughter. Now that he drank your wine, it’s equivalent to recognizing your ident.i.ty, and there are no more games for his granddaughter.”
Meanwhile, Elder Zhou laughed. “Old Xing, I’ve told you that this kid is smart like a devil, you were trying to scheme against him, but instead you were seen through by him.”
