Chapter 385 My Marriage, I Have the Final Say
The old man of the Zhuang family is almost eighty years old. How many years does he have left to live?
Even his old subordinates are few and far between now. Why would he still have a rift with Mr. Xu because of the younger generation's affairs?
Zhuang Zhoucheng strode over. His aura could shock the whole audience wherever he went, and he became the focus of everyone.
The ladies remained silent, waiting for Zhuang Zhoucheng's reaction.
Xu Jingxi looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng, her eyes gradually changing from fiery to calm, and then to indifferent.
After all these years, she still couldn't stop her heart from beating faster for him.
This man who was supposed to be her husband, but...
Xu Jingyun looked shy and stood up to greet Zhuang Zhoucheng:
"Brother Zhou Cheng..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked straight ahead, walked straight past Xu Jingyun, and headed towards the old man who was drinking tea on the other side.
When Zhuang Zhoucheng avoided Xu Jingyun, Xu Jingxi felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
She thought he came for her.
But unexpectedly, he didn't even look at him.
However, he has not been married for so many years, and the Zhuang family has found her again. Could this be her chance to turn things around and leave the Xu family?
Xu Jingxi, who was determined to die and refused to join the Zhuang family, was forced by the Xu family!
I was forced by my stepmother and this good sister!
She loves this man who was arranged to be married to her since childhood. She loves him very much! Very much!
Zhuang Zhoucheng stood tall in front of the old man, briefly greeted Mr. Xu, and then said to his father rudely:
"Dad, I've already told you I'll wait another year before getting married. Why are you so anxious? Your son is worth a lot of money, so don't force me to do this kind of rubbish! It might be okay for a while, but it can be okay forever."
These words can be described as sarcastic and harsh.
Mr. Zhuang lost face, and Mr. Xu didn't react for a long time, with an angry look on his face.
After Mr. Xu realized what was happening, he sighed again. Who made his daughter reject this rising star like that back then?
With Zhuang Zhoucheng's arrogance, how could he tolerate the humiliation of having his engagement broken off?
He is just saying these few words now. He is already generous enough not to try to trip you up behind your back. What else is there to hope for?
Mr. Zhuang said angrily:
"That's perfect. Since you and the girl from the Xu family both agree, let's just leave it at that!"
The old man's words were meant to provoke his son. In his heart, he was hoping that his son would still have such intentions towards the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been without a woman by his side for so many years.
Refusing to admit it is just a way to hold back one's anger.
The old man wanted to provoke Zhuang Zhoucheng, but who would have thought that Zhuang Zhoucheng would take advantage of the situation and immediately said:
"Thank you for your help. Everyone in the Zhuang family, please listen carefully. I, Zhuang Zhoucheng, will be getting married in August next year. So, please don't worry about my wedding anymore. Thank you. I have something else to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now. Mr. Xu, Dad, everyone, please excuse me."
Zhuang Zhou left immediately after he finished speaking. He came and went in a hurry, without even a glance.
The hearts of the two Xu sisters were deeply hurt.
The second Miss Xu's face fell on the spot. The eldest Miss Xu was fine. There was no clue on her face. She still had a decent smile on her face, but the emotions in her eyes revealed her inner thoughts.
"In that case, we won't stay any longer. We have an appointment with the beauty salon, and it's almost time." Mrs. Xu was also a little overwhelmed and forced a smile.
Everyone followed his words and dispersed.
The scene that was lively just a moment ago has now become extremely awkward.
The cars of the Zhuang family and the Xu family both returned to the city.
The eldest wife sighed secretly and whispered to Madam Xiang:
"My uncle has been in a bad mood recently, speaking in sarcastic and venomous ways. He was never like this before. I don't know if it's because we're pushing him too hard."
Madam Xiang smiled and explained:
"No, Zhou Cheng is too busy at work and under a lot of pressure. It's the end of the year, and he has a lot of things to take care of. Let's be more considerate of him."
"I just said it, I don't mean anything else."
When the eldest wife heard what Madam Xiang said, she was shocked. Madam Xiang wouldn't think that she was complaining about her brother-in-law's bad temper, right?
I swear to God, she really just mentioned it.
The eldest wife didn't say anything after she said this. She wasn't particularly close to Madam Xiang, so who knew what she would say behind her back, so she spoke carefully.
Madam Xiang smiled and changed the subject:
"I actually agree with Zhou Cheng's approach. That girl from the Xu family was so desperate to break off the engagement that it left our Zhuang family humiliated. Now they've come to the Xu family again. Zhou Cheng's words were spot on. If he hadn't come, the Xu family would have thought that our Zhuang family really couldn't find a daughter-in-law."
Don't you think about it? If this matter gets out, just wait, tomorrow's newspaper will be full of interesting news.
When the eldest wife heard this, she was stunned. Madam Xiang's words were pointing the finger directly at her.
The eldest wife thought that her brother-in-law might still have feelings for the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
I clearly had good intentions to help my brother-in-law, but now that things have come to this, people have used this as an excuse to talk about me. How unfair!
From that day on, no matter how busy he was, Zhuang Zhoucheng would return to the villa before seven o'clock and enter the house on time.
He had forgotten about it a few days ago, but as soon as Ji Wuwei appeared, Zhuang Zhoucheng had to pay attention to it again. The little woman beside him was being remembered by someone.
He has to keep it.
A few days ago, he worked overtime until the evening, and was so busy that he didn't want to drive back and forth anymore.
That's why I let her stay alone for a few days. Come to think of it, I really shouldn't have neglected her because of work!
