Chapter 5442: This beautiful marriage
The sky was getting dark, and the others had arrived one after another. The fourth elder invited everyone to take a seat.
Ling Chuxi was not familiar with these people and had no interest in squeezing with a bunch of old men. She wanted to find a more remote corner to have dinner and settle the matter.
“Let’s go there. It’s quiet there. ” Fourth elder could tell Ling Chuxi’s intentions. He pouted at a table in the corner and even blinked a few times.
Why did he have to make faces? Sometimes, Ling Chuxi was really speechless towards this fourth grandfather of hers.
Shaking her head, Ling Chuxi walked towards the table.
“Young master Ling, over here.” Before they even arrived, the maidservant named Xiao Qin stood up and tugged at the corner of her clothes as she spoke to Ling Chuxi shyly.
“Buzz …” Ling Chuxi’s mind buzzed. She finally understood what the fourth elder meant by winking.
Looking back, he saw the fourth elder’s proud face and exceptionally brilliant smile, as if to say,”Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill my promise. Leave this beautiful marriage to me.
“What are you doing here?” Ling Chuxi asked Xiao Qin, feeling a headache coming on.
“Fourth elder said that there were too many guests and he was afraid that he couldn’t entertain all of them, so he asked me to come over and help entertain them.” The little girl said softly, then added,”also, fourth elder dragged me to drink with third elder. After drinking a few more cups, third elder insisted on dragging me to become sworn siblings, and fourth elder didn’t stop him.”
The little girl’s voice became lower and lower, and her face became redder and redder. As she spoke, she peeked at Ling Chuxi’s face, looking extremely shy. By the end of her speech, her entire face had turned as red as an Apple. Obviously, she already knew that fourth elder had made her and Ling Chuxi a couple and did not object to it … Well, not only did she not object to it, it seemed that she was very willing to do so.
Ling Chuxi’s body shook and she almost fainted.
This fourth grandfather really did what he said, dragging third elder into the water so quickly. This is going to be fun, marriage is destined to be hopeless, it’s just an extra aunt that appeared out of thin air.
Looking at the little girl’s coquettish appearance, as if she had just fallen in love and secretly promised to marry no one but Ling Chuxi, Ling Chuxi’s head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split. She secretly made up her mind that once the founding ceremony was over, she would quickly dress up as a woman to acknowledge her ancestors and return to her clan. She could not harm others and herself anymore.
“Everyone, tomorrow is the Chu clan’s grand opening day. The entire Chu clan is extremely grateful for everyone’s support. I’ve prepared a few cups of wine to welcome everyone and express my gratitude. Please!” The third elder stood up at this time and drank the wine in one gulp.
The reason why Ling Chuxi could recognize that this was the third elder and not the fourth elder was because two other elders who looked exactly the same had also stood up at the same time. They held their wine glasses and said,”us three brothers would like to toast to all of you. If you don’t mind that my Chu family’s hospitality is poor, please drink this glass.”
As Xiao Qin had said, if the three of them didn’t drink, it would be hard to tell who was who. They were probably afraid of making a fool of themselves, so the three of them wore robes of different colors today, which could be distinguished.
“The three elders are too polite. We can’t even wait to be honored by such a warm hospitality. How can we dare to reject?” The guests were flattered and they all stood up to drink their wine.
Ling Chuxi also drank a cup of wine. She felt a little strange in her heart. It was fine if the family head could not return for such an important occasion because of her father’s injuries, but why were the first and second elders not out of seclusion either? If he didn’t guess wrong, these two elders should have reached the critical moment of their breakthrough, which was why they were dragging it out.
