The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 523: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (62)

A month later, Cao Shixun and Xie Wanru announced their official engagement.

At this time, Cao Shixun was twenty years old and Xie Wanru was fifteen years old.

At the same time, it was announced that the wedding would be held one year later, when Xie Wanru turned sixteen.

Su Xiangran was slightly shocked when she heard the news.

Because the time when this incident happened was completely different from what she saw in her dream.

According to the dream, Cao Shixun fell in love with Xie Wanru at first sight, but he respected her very much in order to gain her approval.

After pursuing Xie Wanru relentlessly for a year, the two finally got engaged.

Moreover, Xie Wanru married Cao Shixun when she was 19 years old, which was the year when the original owner was 14 years old.

How come the plot has completely changed now! Could it be that Xie Wanru fell in love with Cao Shixun at first sight this time? She offered to marry him.

What Su Xiangran didn't know was that actually, she also had her own story involved. You have to know that at this time, brothers and sisters can marry each other.

As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. Although Cao Shixun tried his best to restrain himself at the dance, Wu Wenyue still noticed some clues.

In order to ensure that the marriage can proceed smoothly without any unexpected situations, Wu Wenyue expressed to Cao Ce that she hoped to have her son Cao Shixun and Wu Wenyue engaged as soon as possible.

However, Wu Wenyue did not reveal her son's true thoughts to her husband, because she knew very well that if she told Cao Ce, given his personality, he might be happy to accept this situation.

After all, the Su family is also a wealthy family. Even if it is slightly inferior to the Xie family at present, the Su family’s profound foundation cannot be ignored!

More importantly, Cao Ce loved his niece Su Xiangran very much, but because she was only ten years old, he did not consider it in that direction.

In addition, the most crucial point is that he once asked Cao Shixun about his opinion on Xie Wanru in the study, and his son seemed to be quite "satisfied" with his future wife. Based on this, he made such a decision.

Under the influence of various factors, a couple who were once very loving in their previous life are now pushed onto completely opposite paths.

Due to the lack of the arduous pursuit experience in his previous life, Cao Shixun did not pay due attention to his easily obtained fiancée, and even regarded her as a tool in a purely political marriage.

At the same time, Xie Wanru was not actually willing to get engaged to Cao Shixun in advance, because deep in her heart, there was actually an elder brother like Bai Yueguang.

In her previous life, before Senior Bai Yueguang got engaged to Cao Shixun, her family had already immigrated abroad and there has been no news of them since.

As time went by, she gradually gave up and accepted Cao Shixun's initial passionate pursuit.

However, the trajectory of fate changed in this life!

This senior is still on campus, and more importantly, Cao Shixun seems indifferent towards her, which makes her feel more and more disgusted with her fiancé.

In her opinion, the current Cao Shixun is just a playboy who knows nothing. So what even if Governor Cao sends him to a military school?

He can't even speak a few basic English sentences and needs others to help him out.

Even if he has military power in the future, a general without brains will only bring trouble to others.

Xie Wanru also told her father Xie Zongyao about this view, but...

"Father, the Cao family seems to be very powerful now, but it is all supported by General Cao." Xie Wanru gritted her teeth and said, "But you should be able to see clearly who Cao Shixun is. Things on the battlefield change rapidly. Maybe one day the Cao family will..."

"I know your concerns." Xie Zongyao sighed and said, "But at present, the Cao family still has the final say over the army in Haicheng. If they want money, we have to give it to them.

Money is not as important as life."

Xie Wanru understood what her father meant: marriage was just a means for the Cao family to make money, and they were just trying to cover up their blatant robbery.

"In that case, I don't have to marry Cao Shixun!" Xie Wanru still wanted to work hard for her marriage, "I don't have to marry a wife, I can marry a daughter."

"Your brother's oldest brother is not even ten years old, and the oldest daughter of the Cao family is only ten years old." Xie Zongyao shook his head, "The Cao family simply can't wait that long.

But don't worry, your father won't let you suffer any injustice. I have already made an agreement with the Cao family that even if you get married, you can still return to the school in North City and complete your studies. "

"Really?" Xie Wanru didn't quite believe what her father said.

She had already seen it at the last dance that Mrs. Cao was not a good-tempered person. Would she agree to let her continue studying?

"In fact, not only you have to complete your studies, Cao Shixun also has to go back to school to continue his studies." Xie Zongyao comforted his daughter, "I will talk to Governor Cao in advance about studying.

You can rest assured about this, the news of the engagement will spread quickly, and the engagement ceremony will be held after the New Year.

Please ask for leave from school first, and then return to school after you get engaged."
