Chapter 353: Good Brother, I’m Counting on You
"I hear Gu Hengzhi of the Gu family has also returned recently. I’m afraid things in B City won’t be so peaceful from now on!"
Chu Zhengwei said, "If the Qin family was really behind what happened to the Gu family back then, they definitely wouldn’t want to see the Gu family recover."
"And Gu Hengzhi is the key to whether the Gu family can make a comeback. He’s been out of town all this time. Now that he’s back, it means he’s prepared to face all of this."
Listening to Chu Zhengwei’s words, Chu Deming, Chu Yunze, and Lu Cheng all fell silent.
"Don’t look so grim. For now, at least, nothing major will happen. We still have time to prepare. Even if the Qin family wants to do something, they’ll have to make thorough preparations. After all, they don’t dare to openly move against other families."
"Dad, is there anything we should be doing during this time?"
"No need to do anything for now. Just keep a close eye on the Qin family’s movements. However, regarding that Gu Hengzhi from the Gu family... Yun Ze, Lu Cheng, you two are about the same age. You could try to get in touch with him."
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. While the Chu Family and the Gu family hadn’t had much interaction in the past, that didn’t mean it had to stay that way.
"Grandpa, we understand."
"Alright, today is the first time Lu Cheng has brought his wife to our home. We can’t just leave the girl waiting. Let’s hurry downstairs! I also want to see just what kind of young woman could make Lu Cheng fall so deeply in love!"
"Grandpa, she’s wonderful."
Hearing Chu Zhengwei mention Shen Nian, a gentle expression appeared on Lu Cheng’s face, much to the amusement of the others.
Honestly, that Lu Cheng didn’t hide his feelings for Shen Nian one bit!
"Grandpa, let me help you downstairs! Let me tell you, Lu Cheng’s wife is gorgeous. The two of them look so perfect together!"
"Really?"
"Of course it’s true! When have I ever lied to you, Grandpa?"
"Hmph, you brat! Look, Lu Cheng is younger than you, and he’s already married. What about you? When are you going to bring a wife home?"
"Grandpa..."
Chu Yunze had only said a few nice things to butter up his grandfather, seeing how interested Chu Zhengwei was in Lu Cheng’s wife. He never expected to suddenly ignite a lecture about getting married.
"Hmph, calling my name won’t help! On this matter, you’ve fallen a step behind Lu Cheng! Just tell me, when are you bringing a wife home?"
"..."
’Bring a wife home? I don’t even have a girlfriend, how am I supposed to bring one home? I’m not like Lu Cheng, who spotted someone, fell for her at first sight, and then moved heaven and earth to marry her.’
’When it came to getting married, I have to admit I’m no match for Lu Cheng. On this point, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly.’
’It hadn’t been so bad when there were no comparisons. But now that Lu Cheng is in the picture, Chu Yunze suddenly had a feeling his standing in the family would plummet from now on. Unless, of course, he could actually bring a wife home someday.’
’Oh god, no! This can’t be happening!’
Chu Yunze looked at Lu Cheng, his eyes twinkling with a plea for help. ’My dear brother, it’s all up to you now!’
Under the weight of his grandfather’s oppressive questioning, Chu Yunze felt powerless to save himself. His only hope was his good brother, Lu Cheng.
’Hurry up and say something nice for me!’ he thought. ’Right now, in Grandpa’s eyes, Lu Cheng’s words are way more effective than mine.’
