Shortly after dinner, the young ones were rushed by the parents to
rest in their own quarters after playing for a short while.
Cheng Xiao Xiao had matters to discuss with her parents so she
stayed behind. Cheng Biyuan looked like he had something to say to her as well.
Under his wife’s suggestive look, he began, “Xiao Xiao, I really shouldn’t
anything, but if you are not interested in Liu Danhang, you should let him know
sooner rather than later. Don’t let him have false hope!”
“Ugh…” Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t expect her father to bring this up.
After a short pause, she replied, “Dad, perhaps you and mom should take care of
this. I don’t really want to talk to him!”
“Silly, it’ll be more awkward for us to meddle into this!” Mrs.
Cheng gave her a look and said softly.
“Ugh….” Honestly, Cheng Xiao Xiao had no interest to deal with
this. It’s all but a hassle to her.
Cheng Biyuan shook his head helplessly, “Xiao Xiao, it’s not that
we can’t talk to him. But he is not going to listen to us. It’s better if it
comes from you. He’s a simple kid, if you do like him…”
“Stop, dad---” Cheng Xiao Xiao interrupted her father and said
seriously, “He is a nice guy, but he is not my type. Don’t even joke about it!”
“Okay, so you are not interested. Then don’t hold him up. He’s not
young anymore. Let him know, so his family can make arrangement to find him a
nice girl!”
Cheng Biyuan nodded, as though he had just remembered something,
he sighed, “I have mentioned your marriage with brother Gu1 before. I’ll
write him a letter in a few days and see what’s his thoughts now. If he will
still honor our arrangement, you will be marrying into the Gu’s!”
“Dad, are you kidding? How come I have never heard you mention
this before?” Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Certainly, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t belief this fiancé that popped
out of nowhere. Did that mean she wouldn’t be able to pick for herself?
What if he’s a moron?
From what she had mean, all fiances seem too be morons. What if
she run into one like those depicted in dramas?
“Of course!” Cheng Biyuan couldn’t help but smiled after seeing
his daughter’s surprised look. “Don’t worry, Xiao Xiao. The Gu’s are a big
family. Brother Gu and I grew up together, I don’t think he will back out of
our arrangement!”
“But I want him to!” Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but muttered
under her breathe.
Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng could hear what she had said. Mrs.
Cheng smiled tenderly, Mr. Cheng wasn’t sure what to make out of it, “Don’t be
silly, it’s a very shameful thing when someone cancel your marriage
arrangement! What do you mean by you want it to be annulled? Don’t you want to
get married?”
“So what if I don’t get married? Dad, don’t tell me you are
worried about supporting me!” Cheng Xiao Xiao pouted and continued, “I think
it’s better if you ask them to annul the arrangement. If I want to get married,
I will look for my own husband. I don’t want to marry someone I have never
met!”
“You guys have met before!” Said Mrs. Cheng quickly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao paused and smiled, “Mom, you forgot, I don’t have
any of my past memories. So I don’t remember any pampered Mr. Gu. I don’t know
him and I don’t want to get to know him!”
“Nonsense. Even if you don’t like him, you will still have to meet
him first before you make that decision!” Cheng Biyuan didn’t want his daughter
to be dumped. “Oh right, you said there’s something you wanted to tell us
before dinner. What was it?”

The hell is wrong with this family's brains. She have a dimension, is a beast tamer. And they just choosing anybody. Didn't they think that she will be use, taken advange of, not loved by her husband or looked down on....
ReplyDeleteIf it was me i would threaten to leave the house.��
This is a culture shock
DeleteYeah...its kind of scary too...
DeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteThis god damn mom
"Naturally i will choose who you marry, but YOu will have to tell the people off"
Thank you
ReplyDeleteWhere are these parents keeping their brains. She is literally the hope of their family and the sole breadwinner at this point. If they marry her off, what she has and earns will go to the husband's family. Not to mention, with all her powers and skills, she can marry someone much better than they can find for her themselves. They are more than happy to let her fight to protect them and provide for them, but won't let her say if she wants to marry or not. This would really be making me second guess how filial I would be in the future.
