Chapter: 3002
Du Haiqing nodded and pointed to Su Zhiyu, who stood next to her. “Manager Xiao,” she said to Xiao Churan, “let me introduce my daughter, Su Zhiyu.”
Turning to her daughter, she added, “Zhiyu, this is the owner of the design studio I told you about, Xiao Churan.”
Su Zhiyu smiled and politely greeted, “Hello, Manager Xiao!”
Xiao Churan quickly replied, “Please, just call me Churan.” Then, feeling it was her turn to introduce her husband, she called out to Charlie Wade, who was sitting in the car. “Husband, come down and say hello to Aunt Du and Miss Su.”
Charlie was in the car, watching Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu through the rearview mirror. He was considering leaving quickly but realized that his wife wanted him to greet them. He couldn’t just drive off, so he took a deep breath and got out of the car.
As soon as he stepped out, Su Zhiyu recognized him. Her eyes widened, and she was about to say something when Du Haiqing was equally surprised. She realized that the designer she was working with was actually Charlie Wade’s wife.
Before they could react further, Charlie quickly said, “Good morning, it’s nice to meet both of you.”
At that moment, Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu understood that Charlie didn’t want them to reveal their familiarity with him in front of his wife. Du Haiqing smiled and said, “You two are really…
Su Zhiyu felt a twinge of jealousy as she watched Xiao Churan. She thought to herself, “Xiao Churan is beautiful, but I’m not that far behind.” In her mind, she believed that if they compared backgrounds, she would come out on top.
Xiao Churan was unaware of Su Zhiyu’s thoughts. When she noticed Charlie Wade approaching to greet Du Haiqing and her daughter, she turned to him and said softly, “Husband, if you don’t have anything else to do, you can go ahead. I need to discuss the plan with Aunt Du.”
Charlie Wade nodded and replied, “Alright then, I won’t take up your time.” He smiled at Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu, saying, “Goodbye, Aunt Du, Miss Su.”
Both Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu politely returned his farewell, watching as Charlie Wade drove away with Xiao Churan.
Once he was gone, Xiao Churan said to Du Haiqing, “Aunt Du, let’s head inside.”
“Okay,” Du Haiqing replied with a smile as they walked into the old house’s courtyard.
As they walked, Du Haiqing asked, “Chu Ran, how did you meet your husband?”
Xiao Churan smiled and answered, “My grandfather introduced us.”
“Your grandfather? That’s interesting! How did you two end up together?” Du Haiqing inquired, clearly intrigued.
Xiao Churan hesitated and said, “Well, we actually got married because my grandfather wanted us to…”
Su Zhiyu, curious, chimed in, “Wait, you didn’t get to fall in love on your own?”
Xiao Churan bit her lip and confessed, “Before…
“We got married, but we didn’t know anything about it…”
Su Zhiyu suddenly felt a rush of excitement and exclaimed, “Isn’t that like an arranged marriage in a feudal society?”
