Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827: Chapter 828: Marriage Proposal

"Back then, to express their gratitude for saving their son, the couple insisted on giving a reward, but our Lu Family has its own tradition: we save people not for money. So I proposed a marriage agreement, that if they had another daughter, the Lu and Ye families would become in-laws.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Ye Family really had a little princess. What a heaven-sent fate.

Moreover, this little princess is very special. She has been well-protected by the Ye Family since childhood, unlike those flashy, attention-seeking offspring of wealthy families who frequently appear in public. She is a true noble gem. Even now, not even her grandfather has seen her face, only having a photo of her in swaddling clothes.

Above her, there are two brothers. One is the eldest son Ye Juncheng, whom our Lu Family once saved. I heard he has been studying medicine, collecting numerous domestic and international awards at a young age. Now he is conducting research at the Birmingham Research Institute in the UK, with notable achievements in the field of cardiology.

The other is Ye Shaowen, the founder of the current stock market dark horse Zero Degree. This young master is a business genius. Catching the tail end of the e-commerce boom, he has achieved such strength. Truly exceptional.

With such outstanding brothers, let alone the little princess Ye Xian, I am really looking forward to it." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Between the lines, Old Grand Master Lu expressed his admiration for the Ye Family and his fondness for the youngest daughter of the Ye Family, while Lu Cen, on the side, lost his focus upon hearing ’Ye Xian,’ his mind filled with the heroic image of saving someone under the horse’s hooves at the racecourse that afternoon.

"Over the years, the Ye Family transformed from a rising new aristocracy to one of the most notable noble families in the Imperial Capital. However, their style remains very low-key, and all their children are exceptional, truly rare and noble. If the Lu Family were not so different from before and you hadn’t achieved so much, Grandpa would have feared the Ye Family looking down on us."

Lu Cen came back to his senses and smiled.

"Of course not."

It was the first time he heard his proud grandfather speak so humbly, revealing his profound affection for the Ye Family.

The ancient martial family values lineage and family background tremendously. With their low-key scholarly elegance, the Ye Family indeed is the perfect choice.

After finishing speaking, Old Grand Master Lu picked up a pen, "Back when I discussed with the Ye Family, the time was set for eighteen years later. Calculating the days, it’s already here. So, Cencen, I called you here today to plan a date to visit the Ye Family together with this scroll."

"Together?" Lu Cen was slightly surprised, "Grandfather, are you going too?"

"Of course, not only me but your father and mother will go as well. Proposing marriage is a significant event, requiring full formalities and a personal visit."

"However, although the two families have a marriage agreement, we haven’t met for many years. Wouldn’t it be a bit abrupt to suddenly propose like this?"

Old Grand Master Lu paused with the brush, "You’re right, Grandpa was senile. Times are different now, values of free marriage and love prevail. We can’t decide everything based on a single promise, especially when you and the Ye family’s daughter haven’t met yet. Bringing up the marriage agreement directly would indeed scare people."

"But Grandpa has faith in you. How about this, you first visit the Ye Family. Once they see this scroll, they’ll naturally understand everything. Then our Lu Family can organize a family and friends banquet, where everyone in the Lu Family will attend, formally introducing the alliance of the Lu and Ye families to all relatives and friends. Following the procedures meticulously, without disrespecting anyone."

Lu Cen: "Alright."

"Grandpa has already chosen the date for you, the 18th of this month."

Lu Cen nodded, holding the rolled-up banner as he walked out of the room.

As long as the process drags on, everything becomes uncertain...

Night, BHS headquarters building, executive meeting room.

The quarterly senior summary meeting lasted more than two hours. As soon as it ended, Pang Kai rushed over to the most conspicuous man in the crowd with a tablet in hand.

"CEO, there’s a situation."

He swiped open the video, presenting the afternoon’s farce of Chu Yao from the "Top Flow Competition" in front of the man.

"After the last termination, you did nothing?"

Pang Kai: "???" What was he supposed to do?

Bo Tingshen stood up and left the meeting room.

"Year-end bonus is gone."

"!!!"

Watching the man’s departing figure, Pang Kai widened his eyes in panic. What did he just hear? The year-end bonus is gone!

"No, CEO... I’m wronged, you were busy being angry with Ye Xian last time and didn’t instruct me. I thought just kicking him out was enough, who knew he also needed to be banned!"

Pang Kai was on the brink of tears, this Chu Yao had killed him, he wanted to destroy him!

Dinner, Ye Zhuoxuan and Xia Hewan were serving dish after dish onto the table, and Ye Xian, watching Ye Shaowen devour her entire piece of strawberry cake like a bandit, fumed like a cat clawing the table, "Ye Shaowen, have you had enough? Can you give me what’s left?"

"I’ve never seen a sister as stingy as you, giving away something and still wanting to divide it. No way, I want to enjoy it alone."

Who gave it to you!

It was clearly the CEO who gifted me... a supplement, compensating me for the immense emotional trauma, and now you’ve finished it off!

Ye Xian dared not voice her anger, recalling the call he just made to complain to Father Ye and Mother Ye, "Dad, Mom, second brother squandered again! Not only did he spend money online to hire trolls against Chu Yao, but he also abused his power to force many businesses to terminate contracts with Chu Yao."
