Chapter 146: He Will Marry Her in the Future
Mdm Ma wanted to say something, but her expression froze when she met Chu Sihan’s eyes.
His stern and cold expression did not seem to match his age.
One could tell from his attire that he was not an ordinary person. She initially thought that he was a useless playboy. However, his strict personality did not seem to be associated with the word ‘playboy’.
At this moment, a horse carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.
Lu Ran lifted the curtain and alighted from the carriage. He did not notice Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan immediately and only said to the coachman, “Help me thank Brother Mu.”
The coachman nodded politely and left.
Mdm Ma’s eyes darted around before she shouted, “Lu Ran, look at your sister. She brought a man home when you weren’t at home.”
Lu Ran heard the commotion and looked over. He happened to see Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan standing in front of Mdm Ma.
The both of them were looking at him. One was smiling while the other looked at him calmly.
“Big Brother, why are you back?”
Lu Sheng was the first to speak.
“I’m going on a long trip and will only be back the day after tomorrow. I came back to take a look.”
When Lu Ran finished replying Lu Sheng, Mdm Ma said in disbelief, “Lu Ran, aren’t you going to manage this? I heard from Ah Zhen that you’re a good student and it’s only a matter of time before you pass the county-level examination. You might even become an official in the future. It would be embarrassing to have such a sister.”
Lu Ran glanced at her lightly and ignored her.
Instead, he bowed to Chu Sihan and said, “Lu Ran greets Lord Chu.”
“Brother Lu, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Chu Sihan did not know how to address this ‘future brother-in-law’.
After some thought, he decided to address him as Brother Lu.
The surroundings suddenly became silent. Everyone who was watching the show looked at Chu Sihan in shock.
“Lord... Lord?”
Mdm Ma’s tongue seemed to be in a knot, and even her lips were trembling.
“Lord Chu?”
Li Zheng, who had just arrived, happened to hear Lu Ran’s words. He immediately looked at Chu Sihan in shock.
He had a deep impression of Chu Sihan. It was mainly because of his imposing aura when he first saw him. In addition to his dignified aura, it was difficult for others not to remember him.
He did not expect the self-proclaimed ‘passer-by’ to be the legendary Lord Chu!
“Uncle, don’t you know that he’s Lord Chu?” Lu Ran ‘kindly’ explained, “The person who wanted to marry Ah Sheng back then was Lord Chu. However, it was delayed because of Ah Sheng’s disappearance temporarily.”
It was not that he did not want to marry her, but he wanted to postpone it temporarily.
In other words, he would marry her in the future.
When Chu Sihan heard these words, he immediately felt relaxed.
Lu Sheng only raised her eyebrow and did not say anything.
She knew that her brother was trying to protect her and thus, deliberately told those gossipy people about this.
Since Chu Sihan did not retort, she had nothing to explain.
Li Zheng cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Lord Chu. I was blind in the past to not have recognized you. Please forgive me!”
Chu Sihan nodded and said lightly, “Ignorance can be forgiven.”
When the others saw this, they bowed too, leaving Mdm Ma standing there in a daze.
A chill ran down her spine when she thought of what she had just said.
If her son lost his career because of her words, wouldn’t she become the culprit?
When she regained her senses, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. With a pale face, she begged for mercy. “Lord... Lord, I was ignorant and spoke carelessly. Lord, please forgive me!”
Although she was a village girl, she could read because her father and brother were studying back then.
This was also one of the reasons why she had always felt superior to others in Liu Yue Village.
