Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 609 - Dragged Into This Matter

Chapter 609 Dragged Into This Matter
Jiahui said gently, “Grandma and Mu Chen both treat Cheng Che very sincerely. He knows very well who treats him well. He’s already a 28-year-old adult so he’s not someone who’s easily manipulated. Since you’re siblings, you tell him what you told me about his marriage. No matter what choices he makes, I’ll support him. If he decides to honor the marriage his mother arranged for him, then I have to say he’s really filial to his mother. For the sake of his mother, he’s willing to sacrifice his life’s happiness. I’d have nothing but admiration for him. On the other hand, if he decides to be with me, then it’s because he decides to follow his heart. In that case, I’d also have nothing but admiration for him.”
Yin Jia was caught off guard by Jiahui’s display of love toward Cheng Che. She felt truly suffocated. Fortunately, she had been raised in the Yin family. After so many years, she had long been used to adapting to all kinds of situations. In the end, she smiled and said, “My brother is really lucky to have a girlfriend like you. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to deal with those people in the family for both of you. You just need to know that I’m on the same side as both of you.”
Jiahui naturally did not believe that Yin Jia would suddenly switch allegiance.
Yin Jia looked at her watch before she said, “I have something to do so I’ll take my leave first. Why don’t we exchange numbers so we can keep each other updated?”
Jiahui acquiesced. Then, she said casually, “Take care. I won’t see you out.”
Back in the department.
When Jiahui walked into the office, Song Ning was still busy with her work.
As soon as Jiahui returned to the office, she silently walked to Song Ning’s desk and carried a stack of medical records on Song Ning’s desk to her desk before she began to work.
Song Ning only had time to speak to Jiahui during their lunch break.
Song Ning asked, worried, “Has Cheng Che been discharged from the hospital?”
Jiahui nodded as she looked at the medical record in her hands and said without looking up, “Mu Chen and Uncle Jiang picked him up. There’s no need for us to worry about him. I’ll join all of you for dinner tonight.”
Song Ning said with a smile, “I’m sure he must have gone to the kitchen as soon as he got home to get Xiao Yu to prepare your favorite dishes.”
Jiahui only smiled and did not say anything.
Song Ning sighed.”Xiao Yu is really capable. Although our family is big, she’s able to meticulously arrange everything for everyone. I should discuss raising her pay with Sister Yu.”
Jiahui smiled and said teasingly, “That’s good that you have someone managing the household. If it was left up to you, I’m afraid the house would be in chaos.”
Song Ning replied, “I know my limits, after all. I won’t bother managing the household or the family business. I don’t have the ability to do such things so I should just stick to what I know.”
“Speaking of knowing one’s limits…” Jiahui said before she recounted her conversation with Yin Jia earlier.
Song Ning’s eyes widened in shock. “Arranged marriage? What era does she think we’re living in? Does she think we’re in a historical novel or drama? How weird!”
Jiahui only smiled and did not say anything.
Song Ning asked tentatively, “So, Cheng Che doesn’t know about this?”
Jiahui nodded. She was sure he did not know. She still had this bit of trust and understanding
“Cheng Che’s really pitiful,” Song Ning lamented as she shook her head and sighed.
Jiahui looked up from the medical record and looked at Song Ning before she asked, “Don’t you think you’re pitying the wrong person? Shouldn’t you be pitying me? I’m an innocent victim who’s suddenly dragged into this matter.”
Song Ning smiled. “Stop pretending. Everyone knows that Cheng Che’s heart is set on you. I know your relationship is as strong as gold. Stop showing off to me.”
Jiahui smiled bitterly. “Song Ning, how can you not pity me? Think about it. This matter is likely not going to end so soon. First, they approached Cheng Che and revealed their intention to bring him back to the family. Then, later, they’ll catch him off guard and tell him he has an arranged marriage. I can tell a storm is brewing on the horizon…”
Song Ning rose to her feet and stretched her limbs before she patted Jiahui’s shoulder. “Don’t think too much and worry about things that have yet to happen. Don’t you always say that to me? Don’t worry. There’ll always be ways to solve the problem when the time comes.”
