Chapter 372 - 372 371 Blocking Disaster

?Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Blocking Disaster Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Blocking Disaster He Linsheng is eighteen this year. Due to his unfavorable reputation and the pickiness of both his parents and himself, his marriage has yet to be arranged.

Some days ago, his parents took a liking to the legitimate daughter of the Chens, stating that although Mr. Chen had only recently started his duties in Dingzhou, he had achieved notable success in officialdom, much to the Emperor’s admiration. Chances are he might be transferred and promoted in the capital. From afar, He Linsheng glanced at Ms. Chen the Third and felt that despite her not being a stunning beauty, she had an excellent figure and her curved eyebrows and eyes had their charm. Thus, he became somewhat agreeable to the idea.

However, the Chens had been somewhat hesitant, and he was also afraid that Chu Lingxuan would interfere, and changes might occur over time. Therefore, when he heard that Ms. Chen the Third was drowning, he jumped into the water without any hesitation to rescue her…

Chu Lingxuan helplessly said, “I had no choice. If I had stood by without rescuing your sister, people would accuse me, her brother-in-law, of being cold-hearted and even talk about our marital relationship. If I did save her, she would certainly seize the chance to cling to me. This was a trap she set up for me. I don’t care about people’s opinions, but I don’t want to drag you into this. Moreover, Mr. Jian happened to be here. I’ve been wanting to leave a good impression on him. So, heh heh, I had to push He Er out to shield me from disaster.”

Chen Afu laughed and yet was angry, saying, “He Er did shield you from disaster, but if Chen Yuhui marries into the Hes, we don’t know what trouble she will cause for my maternal family.”
