Chapter Thirty-Four Two Granddaughters, Choose One

  The matter has been fully resolved.

  Chufei excitedly ran to Chu Lao's side: "Grandpa, look at our beautiful work!"

  "What does it have to do with you?"

  "You..." Chu Fei directly pinched Su Wen's arm, "My cousin and I drank coffee across the street for an entire morning, how could it have nothing to do with me? I'm my cousin's trusted assistant, I was even the one who made the calls to the court and police station."

  Su Wen was taken aback, he initially thought Yi Xue hadn't arrived, but it turned out that Yi Xue was in control of everything from the unassuming coffee shop across the street. She had been waiting for Wang Lin and Cui Dapeng, those two fools, which is why she hadn't shown up yet, and surprisingly, they really did show up.

  "Grandfather, are you all right?" Yuxue said.

  "It's okay, Xue'er is just better than her grandfather." Chu Lao revealed a hint of bitter smile, "You're such a clever and knowledgeable child, it's just a pity that you're a girl, if only you were a boy, how great would that be."

  "Grandpa, now men and women are equal, you can't be biased." Yixue said, "Feier is also very good, her university course is about to end, I plan to let her officially come to Jibaozhai to work, what do you think, Grandpa?"

  "Then come on!" Chu Lao seemed to understand Yuxue's meaning.

  "Grandpa, I don't want to go to work!" Chu Fei said pitifully, "Why not let my older sister come instead? She's the most suitable one. With her here, it'll be hard for the Treasure Pavilion to not thrive."

  Watching Chu Fei act coquettishly, Yi Xue frowned and said: "Fei'er, how did you agree to your elder sister's request?"

  As soon as Yuxue spoke up, Chufei immediately shut her mouth.

  "You two..." Chu Lao shook his head in dismay, "Fei'er inherited some of my knowledge, but unfortunately she's not cut out for business. If I let her take over the pawnshop, it'll probably go bankrupt too. As for Xue'er, I'm at ease with her, but she yearns for a carefree life, and this place isn't suitable for her."

  Su Wen was silent, thinking in her heart that Chu Lao really understood his two granddaughters.

  "Grandpa, why don't we sell the antique shop?" Chu Fei said in a low voice, her small eyes darting back and forth as if testing Chu Lao.

  "Hmm!" Chu Lao was displeased, "Xue'er had just managed to revive the Aggregating Treasure Pill with great difficulty, how could it be sold? This time I've really seen clearly, I'm indeed not suited for this line of work. However, in the future I must find a son-in-law who can do this job."

  The three of them were stunned.

  Chu Lao said up to here, and unconsciously glanced at Su Wen: "I think Su Wen is not bad, don't mention those old hard coins. Nowadays he can bring two or three good antiques to Ju Bao Inn every day. Alright, I'll make a decision here."

  Wait a minute, isn't something wrong here?

  Su Wen felt a sense of being stared at, had Chu Lao seen something? But that's not right either, although he had some thoughts about Yi Xue, it was very secretive, and he didn't think he could tame this queen.

  "Grandpa, what's decided?" Chu Fei was very curious.

  "Chu Lao cleared his throat: "My idea is simple, you two will marry Su Wen in the future, and this Treasure Pavilion will be given to Su Wen as a dowry. If neither of you marries Su Wen, then Grandfather will directly give the Treasure Pavilion to Su Wen."

  Su Wen was stunned instantly, he felt his heart had stopped beating.

  Happiness came too suddenly!

  "Su Wen, two granddaughters, you choose one. Whichever one you like, go after her, and if you succeed, the family business will be yours. With you around, I can finally rest easy." Chu Lao thought to himself that he was being incredibly clever. "What, neither of them is good enough for you?"

  "No... it's not that!" Su Wen muttered, "It's just that I haven't thought it through yet, Chu Fei and Yi Xue are both good, it's just me being too useless..."

  "It's fine if you know." Chu Fei had already started shouting.

  "Hmph, Su Wen is far better than you in every way." Chu Lao coldly snorted, "You caused me so much trouble during your university days. You think it's fun to watch others fight and brawl? If Su Wen were to marry you, that would be your good fortune."

  Chu Fei suddenly felt extremely wronged. In college, she was always a dazzling beauty, and the boys who pursued her were all more outstanding than Su Wen.

  "Grandpa, this decision is too ridiculous!" Yixue also furrowed her brow. She had planned to let Chufei take over the antique shop, but now Chu Lao had completely disrupted her plan. Looking at Suwen in front of her, she couldn't think of a good idea for the time being.

  "In any case, I've said my piece. From now on, this Treasure Pavilion will be handed over to Su Wen. Whichever one of you two marries Su Wen in the future, that person will get a share of the pavilion. If neither of you marry him, then Su Wen can take over the pavilion directly. I believe that even if it's just for my retirement, Su Wen is far more capable than either of you two." Chu Lao said with an air of "I've made up my mind", as if he didn't care about losing face at all.

  Su Wen wanted to say something, but Yuxue had already spoken up: "Grandfather, neither of us has any feelings for each other now. It's too early to talk about marrying or not. Why don't we discuss it later?"

  Yi Xue was clearly preparing to use the Dragging Character Technique.

  "Emotions and all that, I don't understand, but you three living under the same roof will eventually develop feelings for each other. What's that saying? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?" Chu Lao was clearly a stubborn person. "Su Wen must work harder too, my two granddaughters are both top-notch beauties, won't be a waste on you."

  Chu Fei turned her head and glared at Su Wen fiercely.

  Su Wen shot back a fierce glance, the implication couldn't be clearer: who would want to marry this savage girl?

  Yi Xue fell silent for a moment, looked at Chu Lao and said: "Grandpa, then I'll do as you say! I will make sure to match Su Wen and Fei Er well."

  Su Wen almost fell over when she heard this, and Chu Fei also stumbled: "Elder sister, what do you mean? Why don't you marry Su Wen yourself?"

  Su Wen also spoke up: "Yi Xue, I'm not interested in Chu Fei at all. If I were to marry her, my life would definitely be dark and gloomy. As for the Treasure Pavilion, I believe it's because of my own abilities that I can create one without relying on others. Don't think I'm just after the Treasure Pavilion."

  "It's not for the sake of gathering treasures, could it be that you've taken a liking to Yuxue?" Chu Lao muttered.

  "Chu Lao, please spare me!" Su Wen said with a bitter smile. "Yi Xue is great, but I don't have the ability to win her over, and besides, I'm not even thinking about finding a girlfriend right now. Can we talk about this later? Maybe in the future, you'll find that I'm just a useless piece of trash, not worth helping."

  Chu Lao nodded: "Then let's talk about it later, but the rules are set, you all work hard, I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandchildren."

  Chu Fei's face suddenly turned red: "Grandpa, you're still talking!"

  Chu Lao smiled and said, "Never mind, you all go downstairs first. We'll go eat later. Some old friends over there are also waiting anxiously. Su Wen, wait a minute, I'll take you to invite some friends to dinner later. I'll also tell you about the general situation of Jibao Zhai along the way."

  Chu Lao Yezi made it clear that he was now going to hand over Ju Bao Chan to Su Wen.

  "Alright, Chu Lao!" Su Wen was quite helpless. He had gone to work at Jibao Pavilion and had thoroughly fallen into the pit.

  Yi Xue and Chu Fei left.

  Chu Lao looked at Su Wen: "Do you know why I made this decision?"

  "I don't know." Su Wen shook his head, it would be strange if he did know.

  "From these few days of observation, I think you're not bad. Tang Long also knows that person, he also spoke a lot of good words about you in front of me, this is not all, what surprised me the most was Yuxue, she actually said your character is not bad, suitable to be the manager of Jibaozhai, this made me very surprised, generally Yuxue doesn't actively praise anyone." Chu Lao still has some surprise.

  "Yi Xue, praising me?" Su Wen was stunned.

  "Yes! She said you go to the slum area every day on your way to and from work to help the beggars, this kind of self-cultivation is absolutely spontaneous, it's not something that can be done by someone who isn't kind-hearted. She also said you are very polite to them, not like a ** person at all. Also, you have a good relationship with Tang Long, but you don't rely on this relationship to show off, which shows you are very low-key. In her opinion, only people like you can live a long life and are suitable for running the Treasure Pavilion, but what she meant was just to make you become Chu Fei's right-hand man, I disagree with that, how could someone with your abilities be subordinate to Chu Fei? So I had this idea." Old Chu finally spoke out the whole story.

  Su Wen was stunned, he really wanted to say: "Am I that excellent?"
