As for those who were more mature and prudent, their gazes were focused on the young man.
The latter had a decent appearance and did look a little handsome. Moreover, he did not panic in the face of so many people's gazes. They looked quite compatible.
However, no one knew him.
As if sensing the doubts of the guests present, the old master of the Chu family personally stood in front of the stage and spoke loudly.
"I know everyone has been guessing who my granddaughter is going to marry today.”
He glanced at the guests present and continued,"It's not that my old Chu family is deliberately keeping us in suspense. It's just that the grandson-in-law I chose is not from Beijing.”
"Now, let me formally introduce everyone. This is my grandson-in-law, Qin Yi.”
He pointed at the young man beside him, who smiled and nodded at all the guests.
The doubts in everyone's hearts grew.
Qin Yi?
He had never heard of this name before. There were not many families with the surname Qin in Beijing, and there were only a few in the country.
"Old Master Chu, may I know which Qin Clan's Young Master this Qin Yi is?”
The head of the Chen family suddenly said with a smile. No one dared to be disrespectful to this old man.
Sounds of agreement rang out one after another. Clearly, all the guests present were concerned about the background of this Qin brat.
A coal boss or an overseas tycoon?
Could the Chu family have such poor taste?
Old Master Chu looked at the head of the Chen family and smiled.
"This Qin Yi isn't a young master of some clan.”He shook his head.
" He's the grandson of an old comrade of mine," he said after a pause." His grandfather died on the battlefield, and his parents died when he was young. No one took care of him…"
Before he could finish speaking, the scene was in an uproar.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
His grandfather had died on the battlefield, and his parents had also died.
This was an orphan who had no family background or ability and had been wandering around since he was young!
Chu Qingyan actually wanted to marry such a character?
Old Chu's family had a fever?
Everyone looked at Old Master Chu in disbelief.
There were countless talents in the capital that the Chu family could choose from. If the Chu family announced in advance that they were looking for a groom, the young people who came to queue up could line up from the Chu family's entrance all the way to Hebei.
Moreover, they were all from prominent families. At the very least, they were the sons of provincial and ministerial-level officials.
In the end, the Chu family actually chose a wild kid whose parents had died!
What did this kid do to deserve a wife like Chu Qingyan?
"Speaking of which, this is also fate between the two of them.”Facing everyone's doubts, Old Master Chu felt a little emotional.
"Back then, Qin Yi's grandfather and I were comrades. We kowtowed together and became sworn brothers. He saved my life, and I saved him too. At that time, under the organization's arrangement, we got married separately. After the marriage, our wives became pregnant at the same time. The two families agreed to be in-laws.”
" In the end, both families gave birth to boys." He had a nostalgic smile on his face." I discussed with Old Qin that if this engagement continued, I didn't believe that both families couldn't give birth to a girl!”
" Unfortunately," he said with a sigh," Old Qin was later transferred to Zhongye. When I gave birth to my daughter and went to look for him, I found out that he had died on the battlefield, and his wife and son were missing!”
"I've been looking for Old Qin's descendants for decades!”He looked at Qin Yi with pity." I used the opportunity of the population survey to find his grandson, Qin Yi." Not long after Old Qin's son and daughter-in-law gave birth to Qin Yi, they died in the line of duty.”
Old Master Chu turned to look at all the guests.""My old Chu family passed down the word 'Xin'. If we want to be in-laws, we have to be in-laws!”
His tone was sonorous and full of energy as he said,"If the sons can't get married, then the grandchildren will be the same! From today onwards, Qin Yi is the third generation of the Chu family. Whether or not he married into the family was just a false reputation. If you have a child with Qingyan, it's up to you whether your surname is Chu or Qin!”
None of the people present were fools. Everyone understood Old Master Chu's hidden meaning.
Although marrying into a family and marrying out sounded like a difference in name, there were still some differences in reality.
A son-in-law was an outsider, but a live-in son-in-law was a biological son.
However, Old Master Chu did not care about the surname of his granddaughter's child. This meant that he was only looking for an excuse to let his comrade use the resources and connections of the Chu family in a legitimate manner!
However, in order to support his comrade's grandson, he was willing to give up such an outstanding granddaughter, and it was in the name of a marriage agreement decades ago…
Why was this plot so melodramatic?
Everyone's gaze involuntarily shifted to the young man, which was Qin Yi's face.
This kid's luck could simply be described as the chosen one!
The focus of his gaze, Qin Yi, was also smiling bitterly in his heart.
Even as the protagonist of the incident, he had to admit that this plot was indeed extremely melodramatic.
Qin Yi was also confused about marriage.
To be honest, he didn't know about this past. He was shocked at the beginning when Old Master Chu took a fancy to him at first glance and then went ahead to organize the wedding.
Yes, most of the people in the Chu family did not approve of this marriage. The one who had the clearest attitude was Chu Qingyan's mother, who was also Qin Yi's mother-in-law.
"A few decades ago, a casual bragging, and it was drunk, could decide the fate of my Qingyan's life?”
"A gentleman's promise? Does that mean that even if the other party is a criminal who has committed a crime and is currently serving his sentence in prison, our Chu family will still send our daughter to prison to get married so that Old Master can fulfill this promise?”
