She turned to glance at her husband, whose face was stern and gloomy, then quickly gave her younger son a subtle look. "You two just know each other. It's an ordinary relationship, right?"
Chu Yihan stubbornly lowered his head without saying a word.
Madam Chu hurriedly patted his arm. "Silly child, tell your father quickly. You only took care of that blind dancer because you felt sorry for her, right?"
Marshal Chu's face turned completely cold as he ordered directly, "I've already arranged a marriage for you—the granddaughter of Chairman Tian. You'll meet her tomorrow and settle the engagement."
"If you keep fooling around like this, I'm afraid everyone in Haicheng will find out what kind of person you are. It's bad enough if you don't want to make something of yourself. Don't drag down the Chu family, and don't affect your older brother."
Chu Yihan hated it whenever he mentioned that older brother of his. He shot to his feet and said, "Impossible! I refuse!"
Marshal Chu slammed the table and rose to his feet as well. "You'll agree even if you don't want to. This isn't up to you."
"This is my marriage we're talking about. Why can't I decide for myself?" Chu Yihan clenched his teeth, his face full of resentment.
"Yihan, stop talking. Don't anger your father. Just listen to him."
Seeing the two of them start arguing, Madam Chu hurriedly stepped between them to smooth things over.
"Your father is doing this for your own good. Getting engaged to Chairman Tian's granddaughter will help your future prospects."
"What good will it do? It'll help him, won't it?" Chu Yihan sneered, staring at his father provocatively.
"If he likes her so much, he can marry her himself. There are already so many concubines in the household.
