Chapter 558: Chapter 559: Cousin Chu Chenwei!
As he stopped at the entrance, Chu You looked at his phone while stepping out, and the valet moved the small car into a parking area.
He walked in to find it was a popular hot pot restaurant.
He climbed up to the second floor and scanned the area from the top of the stairs.
One woman at a window table waved cheerfully to him, "Over here!"
Chu You smiled and took a seat across from her.
"Sis, long time no see!"
"It’s only been two months since we last met, you talk as if it’s been ages." Chu Chenwei smirked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"I’ve ordered for you. Look, all your favorite dishes."
Chu You chuckled mysteriously, nodding, "You know me the best." He hadn’t had lunch or dinner, so the sight of the dishes on the table necessarily whet his appetite.
"Who would know you better than me? Where is your girlfriend?"
At 25, Chu Chenwei was in her prime, a well-bred beauty with a pure and clean countenance that resembled Chu You’s quite a bit.
Within the Chu family, among their generation, Chu Chenwei and Chu You had a striking resemblance!
Speaking of demeanor, Chu Chenwei, working in public relations, had cultivated an aura of sophistication and astuteness which was rare among her peers, especially among young women.
"Girlfriend?" Chu You blinked, seeming a little perplexed.
"What, don’t tell me you can’t decide which one among the several girls you’re juggling is the official one?" Chu Chenwei knew Chu You very well and teased him for it.
"She’s far away now. Next time we meet, I’ll bring her to see you." Chu You instantly thought of Lin Luor.
But Chu Chenwei shook her head, "No need. The girl who’s with you now will leave you soon enough. Let’s just drop it."
At this, Chu You fell silent, not replying, instead he began to eat. He was genuinely hungry.
"Oh, what’s this? Have you developed real feelings for that girl?" Noticing Chu You’s silence, Chu Chenwei felt something was amiss.
"Why bother with that? Sis, why did you call me out? Is it about work? Or about our relatives?" Chu You said, shoveling more food into his mouth.
"You must be really busy to be this hungry. Slow down." Chu Chenwei occasionally used her chopsticks, her gaze flitting out the window before settling back on Chu You.
"I heard from our dad. They brought it upon themselves. I told you so many times before, and now you finally understand it." Chu Chenwei shook her head as she spoke, her tone somewhat melancholic.
"Your actions have caused a split in the Chu family, and the issue of alliances has sparked heated disagreements! Because of this, you’ve caught the attention of some influential people in the capital."
"What did dad mean?" Chu You asked.
"What do you mean, ’What did dad mean’, that’s your uncle!"
"Oh, right, my apologies."
"Chu You, it seems as if you’ve changed. I’m quite happy about that. Haha." Chu Chenwei glanced at her phone after making this remark. "Dad has said that he has high expectations for you, and that you’ve really impressed him."
Chu You didn’t respond and kept eating, aware that his cousin, with her perceptive insights and profound impact on him back when they were kids, made him feel less than when facing her.
To always instill a sense of unease in a strong person, one must leave a deep impression during their early years!
Regrettably, Chu You possessed both these attributes.
Chu Chenwei put down her chopsticks and looked at her cousin seriously, "Little You, the reason I called you out is not to discuss family matters."
Chu You raised his head, a mouth full of food, "Then, what’s it about?"
At this moment, Chu Chenwei’s face became mysterious, catching Chu You off guard.
"Hehe, you see, I have this female college classmate, who works at a state department with a pretty decent rank."
"Hey, are you listening?"
"I’m listening; continue, Sis."
"Do you know how much power a bureaucrat at her level has? She could easily be one of the top officials in a county! She’s essentially ruling over her domain!"
Chu You raised his head, curiosity showing in his eyes, "And what does that have to do with me?"
"She asked me to tell you that her family plans to arrange a marriage for you two. Do you know that?"
Amazed, Chu You was chewing slowly, finally swallowing the food in his mouth at Chenwei’s words.
"Yeah, I’ve heard about it, but I don’t know who she is. So it’s your college classmate? What’s her name? How well do you know her?" Chu You was shocked, his past life, it seemed, had been completely altered, changed beyond recognition.
"Oh her, she’s very domineering and cold. She was like that even during college – very impressive and assertive. She’s extremely beautiful, the best of the best. Many sons of the nobility in the Capital are chasing after her; some of them even swear to marry no one but her!"
"She’s that formidable, Sis. You still haven’t told me her name yet?" Chu You looked at Chenwei, his eyes calm as he smiled lightly.
"Oh that!" Chu Chenwei laughed mysteriously again, catching Chu You off guard. He sensed something amiss and understood instantly.
"You don’t mean...?!"
"Ah, don’t blame me. She was the one who approached me with the proposal."
"What the heck!"
"Hehe, if you two are meant to be, she will become my cousin-in-law, Chu family’s granddaughter-in-law. And you, you have to call me big sis from now on! Of course, I have to give you this heads up." Chu Chenwei said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"So, she’s coming?"
"Yeah, it seems she’s almost here! I’ll let her tell you her name in person!" Chenwei spoke while glancing at her phone.
"Sis, I have a girlfriend. I have feelings for her. I really don’t want to get married so early" Chu You glanced towards the stairs, then turned to say.
"Little You, do you intend to marry your current girlfriend? Impossible, right? At most, she’s your confidante, I’ve heard and seen the same story too many times!"
"Little You, I know you have high standards, but with both ability and looks, not to mention that she’s top-tier, my classmate is quite a catch. We’re the same age, but she is few months younger than me. Yet her rank is higher than mine, and to be honest, I admire her."
"A 25-year-old girl reaching such heights, it’s not entirely because of her family background."
"As for her family, they hold real power in the military and government. Many families are lining up to be in-laws with them."
"Little You, this wedding is a crucial matter, the Chu family is currently in a delicate situation. Our aunt fails to see the shifting circumstances and clings to old beliefs, creating chaos in the family."
"The Eastern Wan Gang is on its last leg, I hope you won’t try anything rash." Chu Chenwei warned gravely.
"I don’t object to your feelings for that girl. It’s normal for young people to date, no one really wants to stop you, but your marriage... I just wanted to say..."
"Marriage is just a title. Who you care for and who you don’t care for is up to you. As for the girl you like, whether you can keep your confidante as well as please everyone else without failing on either side, will entirely depend on your abilities!"
