Chapter 295: Third Young Master Ye, Someone Came To Ask For Your Wife’s Hand In Marriage (IV)

“Madam Leng came today with a marriage proposal. You better show her your best side.” Li Min whispered in Chu Ninger’s ear when the latter showed up.
This news caught the young lady by surprise and her face was soon washed over with delight. She had met Young Master Leng before but that man was definitely out of her league. She even had to pull a few strings to be invited to his banquet in Leng Jue last time.
It definitely never crossed her mind before that Young Master Leng would come today to ask for her hand in marriage.
How could she not be over the moon? How could she not?
Chu Ninger prepared tea and fruits for Miao Lingling personally, trying to ingratiate herself with the woman.
The later only revealed an awkward yet polite smile.
“Madam Leng?” Elder Chu came downstairs, his brows twitched into a slight frown, after being notified of the unexpected guest.
“Elder Chu, I came here today for the children. I came with a marriage proposal from my son, Leng Rong.” Miao Lingling finally felt the burden being lifted off her chest upon encountering Elder Chu.
Chu Ninger was beside herself with joy. Although she tried hard to conceal the delight from showing on her face, the corners of her lips curled upward subconsciously into a bashful smile.
Naturally, Li Min was also radiant with joy.
“Marriage proposal?” Elder Chu threw a quick glance at Chu Ninger and his eyes darkened. He was aware of the tangled mess that the young lady had caught herself in. Could it be that the Leng Family was not informed about that?
Given their reputation and status in society, as well as Leng Rong’s personality, it seemed strange that they would like Chu Ninger to be a part of their family?
“That’s right. Leng Rong mentioned that he likes young lady Wuyou. That’s why I’m here today on Elder Leng’s command to present you this marriage proposal.” Miao Lingling’s short explanation was appropriate and polite. She made the entire event formal by stressing that she came here today on Elder Leng’s behalf.
In a matter of seconds, a flurry of emotions chased across Chu Ninger’s face. She appeared in disbelief, unwilling, and even a little furious. Why? Why Chu Wuyou again? What was so great about that stupid woman?
Li Min also turned pale. However, she tried hard to control her emotions from revealing on her face.
“Ah, Wuyou.” Elder Chu suddenly grinned from ear to ear. It turned out that the young man intended to marry Wuyou. Indeed, the Leng family was not blind. It was not possible that they would accept Chu Ninger into their family.
Elder Chu was obviously biased toward his elder granddaughter.
Although Chu Ninger only had herself to blame for that.
“Yes. Is Wuyou not around?” Miao Lingling heaved a silent sigh of relief upon discovering the change of attitude in Elder Chu. It was evident that the man adored Chu Wuyou thus she probably would not turn out to be too huge of a disappointment.
“I’ll give her a call right now.” Elder Chu figured he must inform Wuyou about this. Besides, he was missing his granddaughter and this would make a great excuse for her to come home.
Chu Wuyou was disturbed from her sleep by the phone call. She had no choice but to pick up seeing as it was from Elder Chu.
“Wuyou, can you come home for a bit?”
“Grandpa, what’s the matter?” She knew Grandpa would not request her to go home unless something important happened.
“The Leng family is here to propose a marriage.” His voice was laced with joy.
“Huh?” Chu Wuyou was still in a daze since she had only just woken up. She could not quite register what was going on.
The woman shifted her posture a little before the intense pain filtered through her entire body. She quickly cursed Ye Lanchen internally.
“Young Master Leng said he likes you. The Leng family is now here to ask for your hand in marriage.” Elder Chu rephrased his words more directly this time.
Chu Wuyou startled when she finally understood the words that entered her ear.
