1345 Lin Tao
“Why can’t I place my hopes on him?” Chu Jie was unconvinced. “He’s the first man I’ve liked so much since I was young. Don’t I even have the right to pursue happiness? Grandpa, I’m your only granddaughter. Can you bear to see me not be happy for the rest of my life?”
“Of course, grandfather wishes for you to be happy, but Mo Long can’t give you happiness at all.” Old master Chu frowned. “If you insist on this, then I can only introduce you to her in advance.”
“Jiang Rou introduced a person to me. This person was also from a rich family. He was good-looking, had a good family background, and most importantly, had a good personality. I originally planned to wait until you’ve come out of this relationship before I introduced him to you, but now it seems that you won’t be able to get out of this relationship. Since that’s the case, I’ll introduce him to you in advance.”
“No, I don’t want to know any strange strangers.” Chu Jie’s face was full of resistance. “It’s useless no matter how good-looking he is or how rich he is. There’s only Mr. Mo Long in my heart, and he’s the only one. No matter who it is, they can’t even dream of shaking his position.”
“Don’t say such things first. After you’ve met the person, if you’re not satisfied, then you can say that.” As old master Chu spoke, he took out a photo and passed it to Chu Jie.
Despite Chu Jie’s unwillingness, old master Chu’s hand remained in the air, waiting for her to take the photo.
Chu Jie could only take the photo and give it a cursory glance.
The man in the photo was wearing a suit and had a bright smile on his face. He looked like a lively and cheerful big boy.
“This person is called Lin Tao.” Old master Chu began to introduce the man in the photo. “Jiang Rou has a good relationship with him. Jiang Rou is a good child, so her friend must be a good person too. Moreover, Lin Tao was personally recommended to me by Jiang Rou, so I trust him even more.”
However, Chu Jie was not satisfied.
“What’s so good about him? It’s not good at all.” Chu Jie could not be bothered to look at the photo anymore and threw it on the desk. “Grandpa, look, he looks like an ordinary person. There are a lot of people like him on the street. Could it be that in your eyes, your granddaughter is only worthy of this kind of person?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I don’t think so.” Old master Chu frowned. “I just think that this young man is indeed not bad. Moreover, the Lin group is also a famous company. If you and Lin Tao really end up together, you will be happy in the future.”
“As long as it’s not Mr. Mo Long, I’ll never be happy.” Chu Jie stomped her feet. “Grandpa, I’m begging you. Please don’t introduce me to such strange people. If you really want me to be happy, then please help me and let me marry Mr. Mo Long.”
“So what if he has an engagement with Jiang Yu? He also has an engagement with me! Furthermore, that was something that everyone knew. No one knew that the person who agreed to the marriage was a fake Mo Long, so they would definitely think that it was the real Mo Long. Now, you’re telling the public that you’ve canceled the engagement, and after a while, Mo Long and Jiang Yu will get married. Grandpa, let’s not talk about you anymore. Where do you want me to put my face?”
The more Chu Jie spoke, the more aggrieved she became. In the end, her voice was filled with sobs.
“Aiya, don’t cry,” Old master Chu could not bear to see Chu Jie cry. However, he really could not help in this matter. If he really helped, the Chu family’s reputation would be ruined.
“Even my dearest grandfather is not willing to help me. Can’t I just cry?” Chu Jie’s tears fell like pearls from a broken string. “I’ve been watching the two of them follow me like my shadow every day. Grandfather, do you know how jealous I am? I can’t wait to tear them apart. I can’t wait to eat Jiang Yu up! Mr. Mo Long should only be mine!”
“Even so, you can’t interfere in other people’s relationships. Be good, Grandpa will invite Lin Tao over for a meal in a few days. You can get close to him.” Old master Chu coaxed him, “what if you have a good impression of Lin Tao after getting to know him? Perhaps at that time, you will have to be Lin Tao and not this Mo Long.”
“That’s impossible. There’s no one more outstanding than Mr. Mo Long in this world.” Chu Jie said firmly, “grandfather, no matter what kind of man you bring back, I won’t take a second look at him.”
After saying that, Chu Jie left the study room in tears.
