Chapter 677 A Date Show?

Qin Haodong took this chance and went back. He told his mother about the current situation and asked her to receive Zhao Cangqiong, who was crafty and tricky. Then he hid in the room next to them, where he could see clearly what was taking place in the living room.
The other girls also did not want to meet Zhao Cangqiong, so they all went back to their own rooms.
Chu Xuanyue was the daughter of the Chu family and she was used to these sorts of events since she was a child. In addition, she had been in charge of the Haodong Group all these years, so she was good at dealing with such matters.
She sent someone to let Zhao Cangqiong’s motorcade in, then waited for him in front of the building.
“President Chu, you really have an amazing son. How could he be so brilliant at such a young age?”
Zhao Cangqiong got out of the car and did not seem to be dissatisfied with his rejection at all. He greeted Chu Xuanyue with such a bright smile that strangers might think they were really old friends who had not seen each other for years.
No one knew that there had been a fierce conflict between these two families merely a few hours ago.
“Master Zhao, you must be joking. It’s so good of you to come here. Please come in.”
Chu Xuanyue also greeted them politely and let Zhao Cangqiong and Zhao Feng into the house.
Chu Xuanyue asked someone to prepare tea and fruit, and then asked, “Master Zhao, what business are you here for?”
“Well, you’re being too polite,” Zhao Cangqiong said with a big smile, “I thought about what happened today when I got home and I realized that it’s really our fault, so I came to apologize.”
“There’s no need to apologize. It’s just a minor misunderstanding and we can just forget about the matter.”
Chu Xuanyue replied calmly. She knew very well that this cunning old man did not come here only to apologize.
“Thank you for forgiving me. But I am here today with a presumptuous request.”
Chu Xuanyue thought to herself, “I knew it, you old fox, would not come over for no reason.”
“Master Zhao, don’t hesitate to ask me for help. We will definitely help you as long as it’s not beyond our ability.”
“Well, President Chu, my granddaughter Zhao Qingwu is 20 years old and is really beautiful. I’m sure you’ve also met her. But we have not found a suitable husband for her yet.”
“After seeing your son today, I was shocked. I’ve never seen such an outstanding young man in my life and I really like him.”
“So I am here today to propose marriage. Could she marry Haodong? If that is possible, our two families will be relatives and we can get even closer in the future.”
This old man was hypocritical, but what he said seemed to be sincere. If a stranger heard his words, he would believe that this old man really appreciated Qin Haodong’s talent, and was willing to propose a marriage for his granddaughter.
Chu Xuanyue attended the engagement ceremony today, so she knew everything clearly. She understood what the motives behind his sudden changes were.
Qin Haodong was sitting in the next room and heard everything. He smiled bitterly when he heard Zhao Cangqiong’s purpose for coming over.
He had not expected Zhao Cangqiong to be so manipulative. He had just broken his grandson’s leg and even then, he immediately wanted to send his granddaughter to him. This old man was really cunning and he had to take him seriously.
A burst of fragrance swept into the room as Ye Qing suddenly appeared and asked, “What are you thinking, brother? Are you happy now? Someone is sending a wife to you.”
Qin Haodong said, “Why will I be happy? I’ve never seen Zhao Qingwu before and I don’t even know if she’s beautiful. What’s there to be happy about?”
“Well, I can tell you something about her.” Ye Qing said in a drunken manner, “Have you heard of the three beauties in the capital?”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I just arrived and I don’t know anything.”
“Hahaha, nearly every man here has heard about them.” Ye Qing poked his forehead and said, “Zhao Qingwu is ranked first among the three beauties in the capital.”
“Zhao Qingwu is slight with a slender waist and long legs. She is particularly good at dancing. She’s known as Little Zhao Feiyan in the capital and has countless pursuers.”
“I did not expect Zhao Cangqiong would come here to propose marriage. He really wants to draw you over to his side.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Who are the other two beauties?”
Ye Qing explained, “There’s also Han Jieyu. She is just like a flower and is very considerate. Han Jieyu is worthy of her name.”
“The last one is Wei Yanran, who has a sweet smile. I’ve seen her before and she’s indeed very beautiful, but very few people have ever seen her smile.”
Qin Haodong had a general understanding of the three beauties after hearing Ye Qing’s introduction.
He then asked, “Sister, you’re so beautiful, why aren’t you among the top three beauties? Are they even more beautiful than you?”
Qi Waner had not been selected as one of the beauties because of her strange illness, which was understandable. But it was odd that Ye Qing had not been selected to be one of the three beauties.
Ye Qing looked gloomy and said, “I’m just an adopted child, so how can I be the top beauty in the capital?”
Qin Haodong shook his head and thought that he could not take the beauty list seriously. There were too many unrelated factors in it.
In the living room, Chu Xuanyue said, “Master Zhao, you must be joking. But thank you for appreciating my son.”
“I’ve heard about Miss Zhao Qingwu and I know that she’s virtuous, gentle and beautiful. But I heard that she is engaged to Yan Zicheng of the Yan family. Why are you here to propose marriage for her?”
Zhao Cangqiong said, “President Chu, there’s something you don’t know. The engagement is just a joke between the two kids and I’ve already canceled it before we came here. That’s why I’m here to propose marriage.”
Chu Xuanyue laughed behind her sleeve. She knew that this old man was obviously trying to please her son by using his granddaughter.
Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, another engine roar came from outside. A security guard from the Daddy Security Company came over and reported, “President Chu, Han Wuji, the master of the Han family wants to see you.”
Chu Xuanyue nearly wanted to laugh aloud. These men were really power-seekers and they immediately came over to please her son after witnessing his power.
But they were guests, after all. She still let them come in.
Zhao Cangqiong frowned as he did not expect that Han Wuji would be over so soon.
The security guard ran out, and soon there was a burst of hearty laughter. Han Wuji, the master of the Han family, strode into the living room.
He was surprised when he saw Zhao Cangqiong sitting in the hall. Then he calmed down and greeted Chu Xuanyue with a bright smile.
After a few conventional remarks, Chu Xuanyue asked, “Master Han, what brings you here?”
“President Chu, your son’s really a promising young man and I like him very much.”
“We, the Han family, do not have such an outstanding young man, But we have a beautiful girl. I’m here today to propose marriage.”
“Han Jieyu is just 20 years old and she’s quite beautiful. I think she is worthy of your son, so I am here to propose marriage between them.”
“Well…”
Chu Xuanyue did not expect that the masters from the two aristocratic families would propose marriage to her son in person in such a short time. But she was happy to see them flatter her son.
However, Zhao Cangqiong’s face quickly darkened. Another competitor had shown before he got what he wanted.
At this moment, the security guard at the door ran in again and said, “President, the Master of the Wei Family, Wei Junce asks to see you.”
Chu Xuanyue was slightly stunned and then said, “Hurry and invite him in.”
After a while, Wei Junce came in and sat down. Then he went straight to the point and said, “President Chu, I’m here today to propose marriage to my granddaughter.”
“Yanran is 20 years old and very beautiful. To put it in the fashionable way, she is a rich beauty. I want her to marry your son. What do you think?”
There was another person who came to propose marriage. Chu Xuanyue glanced at the three masters who seemed to be longing for her approval. Now the parents of the three beauties in the capital were all here and they were all proposing marriage to her son.
She was confused. Were they holding a date show in her house now? Why were they here at the same time to propose marriage?
Chu Xuanyue had not made a decision yet, so Zhao Cangqiong said anxiously, “President Chu, Qingwu is really excellent and I believe your son will not regret it if he gets engaged to her.”
Han Wuji said hurriedly, “President Chu, Jieyu is a virtuous girl and they will be a perfect match together. Please don’t make the wrong choice…”
Seeing that the two competitors had spoken, Wei Junce said in a hurry, “What are you talking about? My granddaughter Yanran and Mr. Qin are a match made in heaven. President Chu, don’t hesitate. The marriage will be settled as long as you consent…”
Seeing that the competition was at a critical moment, Zhao Cangqiong said anxiously, “President Chu, as long as you agree to this marriage, our Han family will not take a penny as a betrothal fee. Instead, we will give you a private plane as a dowry for Qingwu’s marriage.”
In the next room, Ye Qing pinched Qin Haodong’s arm and said, “Are you made of gold? Why are you so popular? They sent their granddaughter to you and also gave you a plane. This is a dowry of nearly one billion yuan!”
Qin Haodong gave her a wry smile. But before he finished speaking, Han Wuji shouted, “What’s a private jet? As long as President Chu agrees to this marriage, our Han family does not need a penny of betrothal fee. We’ll give the Taotie Restaurant in the capital as a dowry.”
Qin Haodong turned around and asked, “Is the Taotie Restaurant very famous here?”
“Of course it’s famous. This is the most popular restaurant in the capital. It’s very big and it’s worth at least two billion yuan.”
Qin Haodong smacked his lips and said, “This old man is really putting in a lot of effort to get close to me.”
Seeing that the two competitors had declared their advantage, Wei Junce also became anxious. He immediately said, “President Chu, as long as you agree to our family’s marriage, we will not take a penny and instead, we will give the New World Building as an extra dowry!”
Qin Haodong turned around and asked, “Sister, what’s this place?”
