Chapter 137: Who are you going to marry?
Lu Chen knew before he could tell his parents about his thoughts, he would need to prove his worth. He needs to show them he wasn't a helpless child that needs his family's support for his entire life.
Seeing the serious look on his face, Kang Shuchun didn't say anymore. So it's true. When a man is showing his serious side, that's when they're the most handsome. Before she could look at Lu Chen even more, another thought had piqued her interest. She asks him, "Chen Chen, if you aren't going to marry Liu Fei Fei, then who are you going to marry?" This is the other thing bugging her now. With his status, Lu Chen would have to be tied down sooner or later, and Kang Shuchun wants to be the one to do it.
I knew it! Telling her that information is the worst thing ever!
Ye Meixiu saw the glint in Kang Shuchun's eyes and begins to glare at her. Don't you even think about it! The person who will be besides brother Chen will be me! It was already in her calculations that Kang Shuchun would use this information to her advantage. But she never expects she would strike after a few hours of telling her!
Kang Shuchun looks back at Ye Meixiu and smiles victoriously at her. She who strikes first wins. If Kang Shuchun let this chance go, what kind of person would she be.
With the time she had lost, Kang Shuchun isn't going to let any chances get away from her.
Ye Meixiu had made a grievous expression. However, when Kang Shuchun turns back to Lu Chen, Ye Meixiu smiles. Go ahead and poke at your own grave.
Who I get married to after Liu Fei Fei, huh? When Ye Meixiu had asked him whether he would get a girlfriend after her, he shook off the idea as having a girlfriend wasn't something important right now. But marriage, on the other hand, would be a different matter. He knows he will have to get married at some point.
A person that only mine and mine alone. Somebody that I can give everything to.
Those are the criteria Lu Chen is basing himself off on. There's not a girl in the world for me. Lu Chen could only chuckle as he said, "Big sis, I doubt I would get a fiancee anytime soon. And Besides, if I do get one, it would only stop me from doing what I want."
From Lu Chen's sudden change of expression, Kang Shuchun felt she messed up. She turns to Ye Meixiu, who grins at her. She realizes she had fallen into her trap! You vixen! You let me do it on purpose!
It wasn't me that told you to talk about something so solemn with brother Chen.
The two had started their eye battle again.
...
The next day, Lu Chen is running to school. After he was warned by Zhang Wenling, he had gotten up earlier to train and run to school. He yawns as he runs. Damn, those two really went at it all day.
Ye Meixiu and Kang Shuchun had continued to fight each other until dinner time. And when Zhang Wenling had asked them to have dinner, the two of them acted like perfect angels. Lu Chen could only sit there and sighs.
As he ran through the business district, he spots Feng Meifeng walking to school. She doesn't notice him as she reads a book as she walks. He screams behind her, "Feng Meifeng!"
Feng Meifeng turns her head to see it was Lu Chen calling out to him. She stops and looks at him strangely, "Why are you walking?" Doesn't all rich kids take cars or limousines to school?
"I'm walking to school now. It's all part of my training." Lu Chen said as he questions, "You wanna walk to school together?"
No way! If she is seen walking with a rich kid to school, people will definitely think wrongly of their relationship. Even if their relationship was on the better side, it didn't mean they were friends.
Feng Meifeng said indifferently, "Sorry, classmate Lu Chen. But right now, I'm trying to focus on my mind, and I prefer if you don't bother me." This is true. Her walking to school is the only time where she could destress and not think about school.
Lu Chen wasn't an idiot to not know the hidden meaning behind her words as he said, "Alright, class monitor. I'll see you at school then." He quickly picks up speed and runs to school.
There's not a girl in the world for me.
There isn't?
bit*h Shuchun gave her life for you.Blind ass bitch.
He literally had a girl die for him... and she's still not good enough for him?... holy sh*t he died a virgin and probably never held hands. Thats hilarious he went back in time to become a successful eunuch. Maybe after he succeeds his families business his brothers can give their parents grand kids.
yeah the title should be "a chance to become a Ken-Doll"
@Likentroup right?! The guy went through life chasing one woman and never getting any and he WANTED her. There's no reason for him to even attempt being physical with any other girl. None interested him in his past life. Unless he's a masochist and needs someone to treat him like trash for him to see them as a woman.
@BLuU yet at the same time two girls holding his arms intimately makes him "go to heaven." I honestly cannot tell what his opinion of women are. he should just chemically castrate himself at this point because it seems like all this relationship stuff is just a distraction to him
"There's not a girl in the world for me." The quoted statement kinda makes me hate Lu Chen, and think that he deserved/deserves to die... many times over. Who or what power in the universe decided to give this guy a 2nd chance?!
Re. above comments; all sooooooooooo true. I'm wondering if there is some kind of cultural disconnect regarding how men and women interact in China. ... maybe the government tears the balls off men who touch women before the age of 18, and therefore... I don't know. I really can't figure out what the hell this MC is thinking or how he was/is such a simp when it came to women. Half the time he acts like he's 10 years old. Other times, master strategist with a complex understanding of social rules and the experience of a previously murdered man in his late-thirties. ... it is painfully arcane. I'm praying that he isn't a masochist.
@TDM also. He wants to ace the gakao so it proves his worth instead of showing hes doing better an getting higher grades(even if he did it gradually... like becoming a C student)... he feels that if he shows he's smart with consistent work no one will believe it... but if he ACE'd ONE TEST every one will believe it?...
...
Im not trying to be nit picky, but he was murdered in his last life and hes taking so long to detach himself from the problem (fei fei) and hes training and hes better looking... but whats it for? He sexually only ever wanted fei fei.. so his looks mean nothing since he only WANTS ONE girl, but the only girl good enough he wants nothing to do with he can't see any other woman worthy. Whats his goal? Protect his family? He knows when an how they died that should be easy.
@BLuU ... why does one need to ace a test in order to not be cuckolded? If he were not academic, would his grandparents be more inclined to let her cuck him? I don't particularly see the relevance. There is ample evidence of what is going on. I'd be shocked if everyone in both families weren't aware of it.
It simply isn't relevant or necessary.
@TDM if he improved his grades now... it would mean he has no reason for fei fei to "balance" him. No one intervened either...
@BLuU ... he can simply claim that Fei Fei told him that she wanted him to be a "bad boy", for her own reasons, to have a dumb haircut and give teachers a hard time. He can justify his academic improvements as easily as he cut his hair; in short, he decided to stop playing the fool for Fei Fei's benefit because she cucked him. Then, ace a test or two, or demonstrate to grandpa that he knows calculus and has a grasp of business principles... DONE. I'm sure that grandpa can check his book smarts without waiting for the gaokao.
Honestly, blaming Fei Fei for his previous poor performance (and ugly haircut) is the best possible solution he has to explain his sudden changes and highlights why the engagement is a bad idea.
@BLuU ... honestly, I don't see why he needs their permission anyway. Filial piety BS. They screwed him over with the engagement. They probably knew he was being cucked. (Elder Wu and even Kang Shuchun knew.) Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, grandpa can die, because based on what he's allowed to develop, he's probably an @-hole. (We really don't know. Everything we've seen, aside from him being rich, isn't good.) Lu Chen, with future knowledge doesn't NEED the family business or anything that the family might offer, especially now that he has a female bodyguard who definitely wouldn't abandon him.
Lu Chen doesn't need to be nasty about it even. "I want Fei Fei to be free and happy with her new lover. She has made it very clear for a long-long time now that she does not love or respect me. I have spoken with her about it. Here are photos of them together. In fact, if I were to stay engaged to her, I believe it might become dangerous for me; Fei Fei is an emotional and physically violent girl accustomed to getting her way. Her boyfriend is the same. I will not stand between them or be the justification for his removal; even if he goes away, I will have nothing to do with her because I would never know when her revenge might arrive. I understand if the family chooses to continue relations, however I no longer have any connection to her personally. I am letting you know, so that you understand what is DONE."
@TDM well said. I didnt wanna over elaborate due to me already voicing concerns on Chens character. He has a witness in elder Wu about fei fei... and the fact elder Wu doesn't have photos or evidence to help Lu Chen at a moments notice makes me question the "abilities" of the shadows... if they are there to protect the family from harm... why allow chen to be humiliated an cheated on?!
Lu Chen came from the future but isn't trying to play the stock market, lead a proper romantic life, get revenge on the people that murdered him(who mustve also had something to do with killing his family), lead a better school life, nor reassure anyone that he's a better person. Only time he benefited from being from the future was at the restaurant where fei fei her bf an their side kick... and all that measures up to was an adult (because his past life years), quarreling with children without gaining anything from it.... im gonna keep reading this story to see where it goes. But I no longer feel an ending where Lu Chen doesn't end up alone is believable. If it wasn't for his looks would the women that "love" him even find him tolerable? He has no redeeming features.
@BLuU ... I believe that he did take some money and purchase some stocks. (I actually exchanged comments with the author about it when it happened.) But, aside from this, and his recent interest in martial arts self-improvement, he is definitely slow in taking advantage of his unique opportunity.
@TDM I must've missed the stock purchases in a chapter somewhere. So I guess rich AND a lone is his future
