Chapter 404: A Double Marriage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Father, mother, and Liu Zhuang — what are you guys here for?”
At Liu Fen’s inquiry, Old Liu responded, “We came to check up on you. You’ve already been here for a while now and you’ve yet to return home. Since you haven’t came back, we had no choice but to come to you.”
“Now that you have seen me, hurry up and leave!” Liu Fen hastedly tried to kick her parents out before things get worse.
Seeing that his own daughter was pushing him out, Old Liu was unhappy. He pushed aside Liu Fen’s hand. “What has happened to you, child? I’ve only just arrived and you’re already kicking me out. You’ve only been in the city for a couple of days and you’ve already forgotten your parents?”
Liu Fen’s heart twisted with anxiety. “Okay, just leave first. We’ll talk after you leave!”
“I won’t leave!” Old Liu stubbornly sat on the sofa. “This is my own daughter’s house, why should I leave?”
Old Liu’s attitude made the entire situation tense and awkward.
Liu Fen saw that Ling Tao’s face was getting increasingly sour. Madame Ling was also staring at her parents with disdain. Liu Fen was so anxious that she wanted to die.
Ling Tianya coldly witnessed the farce. Now that Ling Tao and Madame Ling were back and Ling Tao had seen what she wanted him to see, Ling Tianya felt that there was no point in staying here any longer. Therefore, she a grabbed a book and headed to the courtyard.
Liu Fen and Madame Ling were more than happy for Ling Tianya to leave. Ling Tao, himself, also did not wish for his daughter to face these idiots, so when Ling Tianya left, no one said a word.
However, Liu Zhuang’s heart was not satisfied. From the beginning up to now, that woman had never properly looked at him. They hadn’t even spoken a word and she was already leaving...
On the sofa, Old Liu was brimming with anger. From his pockets, he retrieved a cigarette and lit it. Then, he spoke with stern eyes, “I have come this time mainly for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to visit you. You have been in the Ling household for a while now, so as her elder, I have come to check up on you. Second, since it is currently winter, all the work in the fields have been completed. Since your mother and I don’t have much to do at home, we decided to come to your place to stay for a couple of days. If we are comfortable living here, then we won’t be leaving.”
Hearing that Old Liu’s words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Liu Fen’s face broke out in cold sweat. At this moment, she regretted bragging to her family, saying that she was the female head of the Ling family. Now, it was like she’d picked up a rock and smashed her own foot with it.
However, at the time when Liu Fen told her family, she truly did believe it from the bottom of her heart. She had thought that she and Ling Tao would go smoothly but who would have known that the situation would become like this.
She herself was forced to live in a hotel and her parents wanted to live here? How was that possible?
Liu Fen bit her lips, her face deathly white.
Madame Ling was silent but her heart was full of disgust. Ling Tao felt like he was listening to a joke. How could the Liu family be so shameless?
Yet, no one was prepared for Old Liu’s next words, which were truly shocking.
Old Liu was unceremoniously allowing the cigarette ashes to fall on the ground as he nonchalantly mentioned, “Lastly, we are here because of Liu Fen’s younger brother. His name is Liu Zhuang and he is currently a bachelor. I brought him here because I wanted to find him a wife in the city.”
Old Liu paused for a moment and his eyes darted to Ling Tao. With the air of a demanding father-in-law, he said, “I see that your daughter isn’t bad. Besides the fact that she cannot work or serve others, everything else is fine. My nephew is interested in her. How about we bring them together and our two families can have a double marriage?”
