Chapter 832 - 832: Marriage Before Love (1)
Fourteen years later.
Chu Tianye, now twenty-two years old, was wandering around the school while answering a phone call.
Having skipped several grades, he had just obtained his doctoral degree in finance.
He was currently preparing to handle some matters at the company.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Cheng was speaking, “Young Master, if the company is going public, there are requirements for the legal representative. Given your young age, it’s hard to convince everyone. What if you get married?”
Chu Tianye rolled his eyes, “Why get married? Do 1 have to find a woman to compete for my family fortune with me? No way!”
Lu Cheng tried to persuade him, “If you get married, outsiders will perceive you as more stable. It will also enhance trust in our company’s stock market performance. If a real marriage is out of the question, a sham marriage is also an option. You can sign a prenuptial agreement beforehand, and the woman would only be cooperating with your work…”
“No.” Chu Tianye interrupted, “There’s already Mom and Xiaomeng at home. I’m not interested in other women.”
Lu Cheng fell silent for a moment and then suddenly suggested, “If you get married before going public, our shares could increase by twenty percent.”
Chu Tianye pondered for a moment and then replied, “Alright, help me find a suitable and obedient girl.”
“…Alright.”
Lu Cheng hung up the phone and then looked at Chu Cichen, saying, “Done!”
Chu Cichen nodded.
All the three children at home were single-mindedly focused on their careers. Now they were twenty-two years old and hadn’t been in a relationship!
It was somewhat understandable for Chu Xiaomeng, being a girl and all. Early romance wasn’t that appropriate for girls.
But Chu Yu and Chu Tianye, these two young men, had never dated before.
This led Chu Cichen and Shen Ruojing to wonder if there was something wrong with them psychologically!
Now, Chu Tianye has finally opened up to the idea of arranged marriage. It was not bad at all.
He immediately handed a stack of documents to Lu Cheng and said, “Take these and help me find a suitable and obedient girl.”
The documents contained information about families in the capital that were suitable for potential alliances, ranging from small to big.
Chu Cichen didn’t intend for Chu Tianye to actually marry into one of these families. He just thought that he should at least find a girl with a similar background so they could have more common ground.
However, Lu Cheng was worried. “What if Young Master doesn’t like any of them and wants a divorce after marriage?”
Chu Cichen sneered, “If the other party wants to take away half of his family’s assets in a divorce, do you think he’ll go through with it?”
Lu Cheng immediately gave Chu Cichen a thumbs up.
With those documents in hand, Lu Cheng shouldered the heavy responsibility of finding a suitable match for the entire family. He took a flight to the city where Chu Tianye was studying.
Chu Tianye was actually close to graduating.
But Chu Cichen couldn’t wait any longer and had Lu Cheng fly over.
And so…
A day later.
In the rented room where Chu Tianye lived, Lu Cheng appeared with a pile of physical documents in his arms. “Young Master, these are the women I’ve selected as potential marriage candidates. You can take a look and choose one.”
Chu Tianye glanced at them.
Actually, Chu Tianye wasn’t against dating.
It’s just that every time he skipped a grade, the girls in his class were more mature than the boys. When he was eight, he was in a class with eleven-year-old girls. When he was fifteen, he was with girls in their twenties. Even in his doctoral program at twenty, he was in a class with twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old girls…
The girls he interacted with were always older than him, which gave Chu Tianye a headache.
Of course, there were girls who pursued him, but Chu Tianye considered them to be more like mature women. How could he accept that?
Chu Tianye wasn’t a fan of relationships with such age gaps.
At the moment, he was scrutinizing the profiles of the girls.
“This one doesn’t look rich.” Chu Tianye saw a girl with a thin face and immediately excluded her.
Then he looked at the next one, “I feel like she might not like me.”
Lu Cheng,
You’ve never tried, how do you know she doesn’t like you?
To put it simply, there was no chemistry!
Lu Cheng thought that this Young Master would pick any girl for the sake of wealth, but he didn’t expect him to be as picky as the master!
He thought that the girls they liked must be independent women like Shen Ruojing?
As Lu Cheng thought this, he sighed silently.
He felt that Chu Tianye might not find a suitable girl.
After all, in this world, there weren’t many women like Miss Shen.
This time, the master might have miscalculated.
But unexpectedly…
Just as Lu Cheng was thinking this, he saw Chu Tianye staring at one profile in a daze.
Lu Cheng paused slightly, moved forward, and took a glance. He noticed an unremarkable girl listed in a modest family, with a slightly chubby baby face that looked cute and mischievous. Her academic achievements were average, and her life experiences were ordinary. She had attended an ordinary university and then entered the entertainment industry.
However, she didn’t stand out.
Yet Chu Tianye stared at her profile for a long time, suddenly closed all the other documents, picked up just that one, and handed it to Lu Cheng, saying, “Choose her!”
Lu Cheng,”??”
He was stunned, “Why?”
Chu Tianye said, “Her chubby face is a sign that gathers wealth!!”
