Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 642: Chapter 642: What a Stubborn Fool

After all, Vice Factory Director Huo had clearly stated that he has a fiancée, not to mention that his fiancée is now working at their factory’s Workers’ Hospital. He was really worried that his daughter might do something foolish again.

Lu Yuying awkwardly said, ”That guy is a bit effeminate, I don’t like him.”

Chief Lu heard his daughter’s words and hesitated before saying tactfully, ”Yuying, Dad knows you have high aspirations, but we have to face reality. We can’t aim too high, or you’ll end up hurting yourself.”

He did want his daughter to marry up, but it’s only possible if the other party actually likes his daughter.

Knowing that the man has a fiancée and still dreaming about it, well, that would just be foolish.

Lu Yuying was a bit unwilling but also realized that she was being unrealistic: ”I understand.”

On the other side, in the county government family quarters, Lian Shuzhen was clinging to her aunt Bai Yutong’s arm, acting coy: ”Aunt, please ask Uncle to help me again. If I marry into the Huo Family, it will be good for Uncle too.”

Bai Yutong looked troubled, ”Shuzhen, you also know that Huo Jingrui already has a fiancée. Last time your uncle mentioned it, they clearly stated they wouldn’t consider anyone other than his fiancée. This is difficult.”

Lian Shuzhen, somewhat displeased, said, ”What support can that orphan possibly give him? He’s so stubborn.”

Bai Yutong disagreed, ”You’ve seen the investigation your parents did before. Though Chuyunyi is now an orphan, the connections left to her by the Chu Family are not to be underestimated.”

Lian Shuzhen scoffed, ”There’s a saying that when a person leaves, the tea cools. There’s no one left in the Chu Family now. As time passes, who will still remember those connections?”

As they were talking, Deputy County Mayor Gao came in from outside, ”Oh, Shuzhen is here?”

Seeing her uncle return, Lian Shuzhen eagerly went up to take Gao Yusheng’s briefcase: ”Uncle, why did you come back so late?”

Gao Yusheng smiled and said: ”There were meetings all day, that’s why I’m late.”

Lian Shuzhen put away the briefcase and poured a glass of water for Gao Yusheng: ”Uncle, have some water.”

Seeing his niece’s attentiveness, Gao Yusheng knew there was likely something she wanted: ”Why is Shuzhen here today?”

Lian Shuzhen quickly stepped forward: ”Uncle, I and Huo...”

She didn’t even finish her sentence before Gao Yusheng interrupted her: ”Shuzhen, we’ve tried before, but Huo Jingrui just doesn’t pay attention. Of course, I hope you can marry well, but some things just can’t be rushed.

I heard that Huo Jingrui’s fiancée has now also been transferred to the Machinery Factory Workers’ Hospital. I think it’s better to let it go. After all, a forced melon is not sweet. With Huo Jingrui’s temperament, if he’s pushed too far, he could do anything.”

Lian Shuzhen didn’t expect that even the uncle who wanted her to marry Huo Jingrui would turn his back now: ”Uncle, is there really no other way?”

Gao Yusheng shook his head but then said, as if recalling something: ”Unless his fiancée voluntarily withdraws, you might still have a slim chance.”

Lian Shuzhen pondered her uncle’s words and didn’t say anything for a long time.

Bai Yutong disapprovingly gave her husband a glance: ”Don’t always think of crooked ways. If something happens to her, my sister won’t forgive you.”

Gao Yusheng laughed, ”But if it really works out, your brother-in-law will definitely credit us. If we can form a family tie with the Huo Family, both my position and your sister and brother-in-law’s positions could rise. It would be all benefits and no harm.”

Gao Yusheng said this, but his heart was thinking: How could there be no harm? But what does that have to do with me? After all, it’s Lian Shuzhen who wants it herself, and if she suffers, it’s of her own making.
