Cen Xiuzhi chose to enter the world when Chu Fan was sixteen years old. At that time, Gu Jin was only fourteen years old, which happened to be the year when the Gu family proposed a marriage alliance with the Chu family. Today would be the first time Chu Fan and Gu Jin meet. According to the original storyline, this day is also the day when Chu Fan shows disgust towards Gu Jin and refuses the marriage alliance.

Cen Xiuzhi opened the quilt and walked to the bathroom, he wiped away the condensation on the mirror and looked at his reflection as it gradually emerged from the mist. From his pitch-black eyebrows to his straight nose bridge and then to his pale red lips, it was a handsome and sharp face. Apart from appearing slightly more youthful, everything else was almost identical to his real appearance.

That's good.

Cen Xiuzhi nodded with satisfaction. He was not accustomed to seeing himself in someone else's body. Using his original appearance also made it easier for him to handle things.

"Master Chu, breakfast is ready for you. Madam and the others are all waiting for you," said the gentle voice of the maid from outside the door.

Cen Xiuzhi responded with a sound, quickly freshened up, found his everyday clothes from the wardrobe, and went downstairs to have a meal with his family.

Chu Fan has a younger brother, Chu Sheng, and a younger sister, Chu Tao'er. Although they all have extremely arrogant personalities, the relationship between the three siblings is still good. In particular, Chu Sheng and Chu Tao'er really like Chu Fan, and they listen to everything he says. After the three siblings entered college, they saw that Chu Fan disliked Su Che, so they together played many tricks on Su Che.

Chu's father arrived at the company early. Only Chu's mother, Chu Sheng, and Chu Taoer were having a meal. Seeing Cen Xiuzhi also approaching the dining table, Chu's mother put down her silver fork, wiped her mouth with a wet tissue, and said, "Fan Yi, today Gu's family will bring that child over. Take a look first. If you really don't like it, we can cancel the engagement now. Your father and I respect your decision."

Yesterday, when Chu Fan heard that Gu Jin had a gloomy and self-abased personality, was a bastard child of the Gu family, held a low position in the Gu family, and was extremely unpopular, he felt that by entering into a marriage alliance with someone like himself, he was being looked down upon. Therefore, he became very angry and noisy, telling Chu's mother that he wanted to cancel the engagement. However, without even meeting each other in person, the cancellation was simply and straightforwardly carried out, which was contrary to etiquette. Therefore, both the Gu family and the Chu family decided to let the two children meet each other today.

The intense resistance of Chu Fan Yi had soon spread to the Gu family, and as a result, Gu Jin was constantly mocked by everyone in the family, saying that even when he gave things to others, no one wanted them. This made Gu Jin even more frustrated. He didn't want to come and humiliate himself, but was forced to come by the Gu family.

Upon hearing Chu Mu's mother's words, Chu Tao'er frowned and said discontentedly, "How can that illegitimate child from the Gu family possibly be worthy of our eldest brother? At the very least, he should be the young master of the Gu family, right?"

Chu's mother replied, "That's true, but Grandfather had an agreement with the Gu family. They decided to arrange a child marriage if the two children had compatible appearances when they were born. Now that Grandfather has passed away and Fan Yi is unwilling, we shouldn't force him."

"What is this nonsense about the compatibility of husband and wife being some country superstition?" Chu Sheng scoffed disdainfully. "Big Brother would never believe in these things, right Big Brother?"

Cen Xiuzhi remained silent and calmly finished his meal. After putting down his bowl, he calmly asked, "The people from the Gu family haven't arrived at this time?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the voice of the steward could be heard from outside: "Madam, Young Master Gu from the Gu family has already arrived downstairs!"
