âYou dare.â Yang Huai glared at Qiao Tian Chang. He didnât expect this man to threaten him. It was simply too barbarous: âNing Meng Yao, did you see that? Heâs such a barbaric person, are you really going to marry him?â
âAs long as heâs not like this to me, whatâs wrong with his brutality? Comparing a waste who wonât lift a finger, I would rather be with a barbaric man who knows how to treat his guests, help in the kitchen, protect his wife, and fight off perverts. At least he can protect his family.â Ning Meng Yao said indifferently.
The women at the side nodded. As a woman, other than marrying a wealthy man, he must also have a good character. He said he was a scholar, so what? If he couldnât help his family, was he worth marrying? It was better to choose a man who could help his wife. Besides, Qiao Tian Chang wasnât so poor that his wife couldnât live a good life.
Qiao Tian Chang was very satisfied with what Ning Meng Yao said about him: âDear, I didnât expect you to give me such a high evaluation.â
Ning Meng Yao rolled her eyes at Qiao Tian Chang then spoke to Yang Huai: âYang Huai, do you really think that I donât know what your motive is? You said that you want to marry me, but truthfully, you just want the workshops and wine shops in my hands. If I donât have these, would you still marry me? No, you wonât. You wonât even look at me.â
Yang Huai went silent. The people standing at the side also understood his true motive. He only wanted to marry her for her properties. It was no wonder that he could be so shameless to such a point.
âChen family is really shameless, huh? Where did all the knowledge that he read go to? I canât believe heâs such a greedy person.â The women shouted.
Madame Chen didnât expect that the situation would eventually become like this. Her face was pale as she stared at Ning Meng Yao, wishing so much to remove Ning Meng Yao from the face of this world. Her facial expression became so scary to look at.
âGet out of my house now. The longer you stay here, the more I feel disgusted.â Seeing the mother and son cause so much trouble but were still not leaving, Qiao Tian Chang shouted angrily.
âExactly, you guys better leave. Seriously, do you think youâre so good just because youâre a scholar?â
âYeah, right!â
Everyone started speaking. Even if Madame Chen and Yang Huai were thick-skinned, they couldnât stand it in the end. Their face darkened, especially Yang Huaiâs.
He had never been so embarrassed.
Yang Huai flipped his sleeves and turned away. Madame Chen looked at Yang Huaiâs departure, then at the people in the house. Finally, she followed Yang Huai.
After they left, Qiao Tian Chang apologized to everyone: âIâm sorry everyone. Everything was alright at the start, then something like this just had to happen.â
âLad, what are you saying? The mother and son are supposed to apologize. What does this have to do with you?â âYeah, Tian Chang, you and Meng Yao are engaged now. And both of you will soon be husband and wife. Itâs very difficult for a girl like her to live alone. You too. Since both of you have come to this stage, itâs time to help each other. As for what others think, you donât have to bother too much. We canât control what others think, right?â Yang Zhu looked at the two of them who stood hand in hand.
It was still an insult to the ancient feudal believes, but it wasnât like the both of them got together privately. They were engaged, so there was nothing to think otherwise.
âUncle, donât worry.â Qiao Tian Chang nodded seriously: âI will take care of Yao Yao.â
âIâm relieved then.â Yang Zhu nodded.
Yang Zhu treated Ning Meng Yao like his child. Seeing that she had a good place to return to now, he was naturally happy.
Everyone helped Qiao Tian Chang to clean up the house, and divided the remaining dishes for every family to take back.
Only when the sun had set did everyone leave.
After they left, Qiao Tian Chang sighed with relief: âItâs really tiring to host a banquet.â
âAgreeâ Ning Meng Yao nodded. She was indeed a little tired. If they actually got married, it would probably be even more tiring.
Thinking of this, Ning Meng Yao was slightly embarrassed. What was she thinking now? Why did she end up thinking about marriage?
