C7 Negotiate for marriage

Xu Chencan turned on the faucet in front of the mirror and splashed some water onto his face.

"Phew …"

The cold water eased the burning pain on his face.

After touching a handful of water droplets, she leaned close to the mirror to take a closer look. Fortunately, it was only slightly swollen.

"I can still see him. He'll probably be fine by tomorrow." He heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Looking at the dark corridor in front of her, she walked straight to the door of a ward. She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.

The two beds outside fell asleep and went to the far end of the room.

"Grandfather..."

An old man was sleeping on the bed. His face was covered with an oxygen machine, and he was breathing slowly. There were also a variety of red and green wires connecting him to a machine.

I'll make you better.

Xu Chencan stood at the end of the bed and watched quietly for a while, then turned and walked out.

Returning to the duty room, Xue Tianning was sitting in front of a table, writing something down on his laptop. Hearing the sound of his voice, he glanced in Xu ChenCan's direction and asked, "Where did he go?"

Without waiting for Xu Chencan's reply, he continued, "A person on leave should not wander around the ward."

"…" Xu Chencan didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm going to see Grandfather."

Xu Chencan's voice was not loud, but it caused Xue Tianning's heart to skip a beat. He raised his head to look at her, only to see her eyes staring at the ground, hiding all her emotions.

Xue Tianning was momentarily at a loss as to what to say. The duty room fell into an awkward silence.

"Your grandfather's condition is relatively stable right now, but he still needs a series of treatments, which is the medical expenses …" It was rare for Xue Tianning to suppress his venomous tongue as he spoke with a straight face.

"I know." Xu Chencan cut him off, "I'll find a way to raise the medical fees no matter what. As long as grandfather can recover, I'll do my best."

She suddenly didn't want to stay in this small duty room any longer. She left behind the words "I'm going out to take a look" and left the room as if she was escaping.

Xue Tianning looked at her silhouette and sighed silently.

Xu Chencan's mind was in a mess. Although she had confidently told Xue Tianning those words, not even she could believe it.

Suddenly, a handsome and cold man's face appeared in front of his eyes.

"If it's that man …"

If it was him, the high medical expenses would only be a small amount of money in his eyes.

She took a business card from her pocket and rubbed it.

It would be a fantasy to ask a man he had just met tonight to borrow money.

Xu Chencan shook her head. She wouldn't beg for a man's charity like a beggar. However, her status as the direct descendant of the Xu family was something that could perhaps be discussed.

When Mo Lan walked into Chu Lingyu's office, Chu Lingyu was busy signing documents with her head lowered. He stood in front of his desk and waited for Chu Lingyu to close the file before speaking, "Director Chu, the woman you saved last night contacted me and said that she wanted to thank you. Let me ask you, should I reject her?"

"Oh?" Chu Lingyu rested his chin on his hand and raised his eyebrows, seemingly very interested, "There's no need to refuse, just make an appointment with her. Since we have to thank her, we should naturally thank her in person."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." On the surface, Mo Lan didn't reveal anything, but he was secretly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he came to ask for instructions.

Xu Chencan was a bit restless. Why did Director Chu's assistant ask for a place of such high quality? There were luxury cars like Maybach parked all around.

As she smiled at the passing waiter, she stole a glance at the menu in front of her. This price … She couldn't even afford a drink.

The man had already been late for a long time. Xu Chencan looked at her watch again. If not for the request, she would have long since left.

However, Chu Lingyu had actually arrived a long time ago. Sitting in the Mai Bach, he watched as Xu Chencan walked past the car with his mouth wide open.

He watched as Xu ChenCan was brought to her seat by the window. From his angle, he could clearly see her every move. Chu Lingyu peeped at Xu Chencan as if he was obsessed. Seeing that Xu Chencan's expression was getting increasingly impatient, he packed up his facial expression, opened the car door and walked out.

The man, still dressed in his black suit, walked gracefully to the seat opposite Xu Chencan and sat down, saying, "I'm sorry, the company has something to attend to. I'm late."

Xu Chencan didn't seem to be in a good mood. He smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just arrived a while ago."

"That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't wait and leave." Someone who had been peeping for nearly an hour pretended not to know anything and took the menu. Naturally, the waiter beside him ordered a few dishes.

Xu Chencan did not want to waste any more time with him. She was worried that if time went on longer, the courage she had accumulated with great difficulty would disappear.

"Boss Chu, aren't you still single? Ever think about getting married? " Xu Chencan took a deep breath and asked.

Chu Lingyu's hand that was holding the cup paused, and her heart started to race. Could it be that she recognized him? Staring deeply at Xu Chencan, Chu Lingyu hesitated before replying, "Yeah, I've been looking for a partner to get married to, but none of them really fit my wishes."

Xu Chencan was overjoyed. There might be a chance! However, she did not show it. She held the rack and gracefully drank a mouthful of water. She said, "Then what do you think about me?"

Xu Chencan's acting skills were a bit too much, Chu Lingyu laughed at her arrogant tone, and did not directly answer her question, but instead asked: "Didn't you ask me out to thank me? "What, are you putting on an act to repay me with your body?"

"I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you if I hadn't said that." Xu ChenCan took a deep breath and said, "I won't beat around the bush. Are you interested in marrying me?"

Contract marriage? What was this? Chu Lingyu frowned, and retorted: "Then why do you think I should choose you? Do you know how many people there are who want to be my wife? "

"Although the Xu family isn't a big conglomerate, they still have the power. "I'll be honest, even though I'm the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, I've never been favoured. You saw it that night as well."

"But if we were to be married, you could help me get the Xu family, and I could also help you in your career. Wouldn't that be mutually beneficial?" Xu Chencan had expected him to ask such a question and had already made up his mind to answer it. He answered calmly and unhurriedly.

She stopped and raised her eyes stealthily, only to see a pair of black eyes staring at her with interest. Her throat suddenly tightened.
