“You dare.” Yang Huai glared at Qiao Tian Chang. He didn’t expect this man to threaten him. It was simply too barbarous: “Ning Meng Yao, did you see that? He’s such a barbaric person, are you really going to marry him?”
“As long as he’s not like this to me, what’s wrong with his brutality? Comparing a waste who won’t 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.” 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 couldn’t help his family, was he worth marrying? It was better to choose a man who could help his wife. Besides, Qiao Tian Chang wasn’t so poor that his wife couldn’t live a good life.
Qiao Tian Chang was very satisfied with what Ning Meng Yao said about him: “Dear, I didn’t expect you to give me such a high evaluation.”
Ning Meng Yao rolled her eyes at Qiao Tian Chang then spoke to Yang Huai: “Yang Huai, do you really think that I don’t 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 don’t have these, would you still marry me? No, you won’t. You won’t even look at me.”
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.
“Chen family is really shameless, huh? Where did all the knowledge that he read go to? I can’t believe he’s such a greedy person.” The women shouted.
Madame Chen didn’t 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.
“Get out of my house now. The longer you stay here, the more I feel disgusted.” Seeing the mother and son cause so much trouble but were still not leaving, Qiao Tian Chang shouted angrily.
“Exactly, you guys better leave. Seriously, do you think you’re so good just because you’re a scholar?”
“Yeah, right!”
Everyone started speaking. Even if Madame Chen and Yang Huai were thick-skinned, they couldn’t stand it in the end. Their face darkened, especially Yang Huai’s.
He had never been so embarrassed.
Yang Huai flipped his sleeves and turned away. Madame Chen looked at Yang Huai’s departure, then at the people in the house. Finally, she followed Yang Huai.
After they left, Qiao Tian Chang apologized to everyone: “I’m sorry everyone. Everything was alright at the start, then something like this just had to happen.”
“Lad, what are you saying? The mother and son are supposed to apologize. What does this have to do with you?” “Yeah, Tian Chang, you and Meng Yao are engaged now. And both of you will soon be husband and wife. It’s very difficult for a girl like her to live alone. You too. Since both of you have come to this stage, it’s time to help each other. As for what others think, you don’t have to bother too much. We can’t control what others think, right?” 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 wasn’t like the both of them got together privately. They were engaged, so there was nothing to think otherwise.
“Uncle, don’t worry.” Qiao Tian Chang nodded seriously: “I will take care of Yao Yao.”
“I’m relieved then.” 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: “It’s really tiring to host a banquet.”
“Agree” 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?
