My 100-Day Secret Marriage With The Boss Chapter 65 - Losing The Will To Live

Chapter 65: Losing The Will To Live

Elder Chu was resting on the couch by the time Chu Wuyou returned home. She was only lying about it to Third Young Master Shen earlier and had no idea that her grandfather had indeed come home.

Fortunately, she refused his intention to pay a visit to the Chu Residence, otherwise…

“Why are you home so early, Wuyou?” Elder Chu asked in surprise, “Isn’t the banquet still going on?”

“Yes, but I decided to leave early,” she replied without providing much explanation.

“What’s the matter? You didn’t meet anyone of your liking? Grandpa noticed several men that seemed promising.”

Elder Chu meant to say that those men were just okay. He would not pressure her further unless she showed an interest in them.

What about Third Young Master Ye? Evidently, Elder Chu did not encounter the aforementioned at the banquet.

“Grandpa, what do you know about Third Young Master Ye?” Chu Wuyou decided to probe him further for his opinion.

“Third Young Master Ye? Do you mean Ye Lanchen? He’s the current President of the Ye family business. I’ve met him a couple of times before and I think he’s a person n.o.ble in appearance coupled with outstanding talent – a true man among men. Most importantly, he cherishes his good name and has never been involved in s.e.x scandals.” It was rare for Elder Chu to shower praises about someone like that, at least never in front of Chu Wuyou.

She was alarmed when her Grandpa spoke so highly of Third Young Master Ye. This was not a good sign because it placed her into an unfavorable position.

Anything could happen, and she must corrupt the opinion her Grandpa had of Third Young Master Ye. Although she would leave for Country M first thing tomorrow, what if he still came over with a marriage proposal?

Therefore, she should try her best effort to brainwash Elder Chu so that the latter would refuse the marriage proposal if that happened.

“I heard that Third Young Master Ye has no interest in women. He likes men.” Chu Wuyou did not fabricate this rumor out of anywhere; she read it online on the way home.

“Nonsense, this sounds like slander. What’s wrong with those people? Don’t they believe some young people have respect for themselves? Some people in this society get red-eyed at others’ success and proceed to tarnish one’s reputation out of envy. Rumor starters like that should be thrown into jail.” Unexpectedly, Elder Chu became frustrated at the news and his face was washed over with indignation as if he was the one whose reputation had been dishonored.

Chu Wuyou blinked blankly at her Grandpa. Why was he so worked up?

Why was Grandpa being so defensive about Third Young Master Ye?

What was happening? She felt like she was losing the upper hand.

“He’s always seen with Fifth Young Master Shen though.” Chu Wuyou persisted. She would not give in easily because this concerned her lifetime of happiness.

Of course, she had only learned this from the internet.

The credibility of the source did not matter to her as long as Grandpa was persuaded.

“That’s impossible. I’m familiar with that young lad from Shen Family. I know he likes women, so does Ye Lanchen too.” Once again, with a firm face, Elder Chu immediately retorted Chu Wuyou’s argument.

The corners of her lips twitched. Fifth Young Master Shen fancied women so it must be the same for Third Young Master Ye? She could not follow her Grandpa’s logic.

Chu Wuyou failed to retaliate in the end.

Besides, the next words that escaped Elder Chu’s mouth made Chu Wuyou feel like she had just dug her own grave. Within seconds, she lost the will to live…
