Chapter 668 Why Don’t You Come to Take Me Away?

“You want an explanation, don’t you? I’ll give you an explanation now.”

At this moment, Qi Waner was fearless. She said to all the guests under the stage, “I believe that many people remember what I looked like a few months ago. At that time, I was like a ghost. I believed that back then, no one would come to my door to propose marriage to me and no one would say that I had the husband blessing gift.”

“Now my illness has been cured by my man. I look beautiful and I was told that I will be good for my husband’s life.

“The family wants to use me to marry and use my marriage to exchange for benefits for the family. What I want to say is that the family’s interests have nothing to do with women. Can the prosperity of the family be exchanged for women’s happiness?”

After saying this, the whole audience was shocked. In order to defend her happiness, Qi Waner said all the words from the bottom of her heart and no longer cared about the face of the family.

“Damn… Damn…”

Qi Guofan was trembling with anger. At this time, the old Taoist priest, Yuan Tianren, stood up and waved the horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like a master.

“Miss Qi, let me tell you, there is a limit to everything. Your destiny is that if you don’t die from a great disaster, there will be a blessing in the future. Why are you so obsessed with other illusions?

“I think that your husband’s life will have a once-in-a-thousand-year blessing. This is not wrong at all. You should accept your fate.”

Qi Waner turned her head and her eyes were full of disgust for this so-called Master Yuan. If he had not predicted this so-called good fate for her husband, she would not have encountered such a big problem. Now the situation happened and all because of this fake master.

She said in a cold voice, “Even if you’re right, haven’t you ever seen who could be my husband?”

After she said this, Zhao Cangqiong was suddenly unhappy. “My grandson is the third generation of the direct descendant of the Zhao family, the top talent among the young people in the capital. Doesn’t he deserve you? Is the man you are talking about stronger than my grandson?”

Qi Waner glanced at him and did not flinch at all even though he was the family master of the Zhao family.

“You’re right. My man is stronger than your grandson, ten thousand times stronger!”

The whole banquet hall was in an uproar. Compared with breaking off the engagement just now, these words were more humiliating.

Zhao Hongkun said angrily, “Since you said this, why did he not show up today? He is so much stronger than me. Why didn’t he come to stop the marriage? Why didn’t he come to take you away?”

Qi Waner said firmly, “If he gets the news, he will definitely come.”

Seeing that his granddaughter had gone too far and had no intention of making up for it, Qi Guofan said angrily, “You have to marry him today. Even if you don’t want to marry him, you have to marry him. As long as you live, you will be the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhao family.”

“What if I don’t marry him?”

Thinking of the man in her heart, Qi Waner seemed to be full of courage.

In order to pursue her own happiness and to be with the person she loved, she did not compromise or compromise even in the face of everyone’s pressure. She still ignored her words that were a threat to Qi Guofan.

After being challenged by his granddaughter in public repeatedly, Qi Guofan was on the verge of bursting out in anger. He said angrily with a livid face, “Qi Waner, as long as you are a member of the Qi family, you have to listen to the Qi family’s arrangements. You have to marry him today.”

“Otherwise, get out of the Qi Family. From now on, we don’t have a granddaughter like you!”

If she did not get married, she would be kicked out of the Qi Family. Qi Waner was silent and bit her lips. Although she was stubborn, her eyes were still full of tears.

She was not convinced. When she was ill, everyone in her family ignored her and even hid her away, as if she had the plague except for her parents.

Especially the grandfather in front of her, his concern for her was even less, as if she did not exist at all.

Now that she had been cured by Qin Haodong, she was beautiful and more people were pursuing her. But she had been used as a bargaining tool by the family. Why did she have to do all this? How could she be willing to accept it?

The whole banquet hall fell into silence and everyone could feel the tension in the gloomy atmosphere. At this moment, a faint voice came, “Why are you so stubborn? Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was the head of the Haodong Group, Chu Xuanyue.

If Ye Qing had been with Chu Xuanyue, she would immediately recognize Qi Waner as one of Qin Haodong’s girlfriends. Unfortunately, she was not present and they did not know each other.

The reason why Chu Xuanyue sighed with emotion was due to the recollection of her own situation. Qi Waner’s situation today was very similar to hers, 20 years ago.

The only difference was that she and Qin Zongheng did not have the courage to fight against their families in public and did not strive for their personal happiness. As a result, they suffered so many tragedies.

She looked at the strange eyes around her and glanced at Chu Shanhe and Qin Zhanao, who were sitting next to her. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just telling the truth.”

There was no lack of truth in the world, but some truth could not be said. It would bring endless trouble after it was said, but Chu Xuanyue said it outrightly.

Both Chu Shanhe and Qin Zhanao knew what she meant. But they did not seem to hear what she said at all and their expressions remained unchanged.

They could pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the Qi family could not. However, recently, it was said that Qin Zongheng had become a Saint and then Chu Xuanyue’s identity and status rose. Qi Yulong was standing next to her. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to express it too directly.

“President Chu, there’s something you don’t know…”

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xuanyue waved her hand and interrupted his speech. “I really don’t know much about this matter and I don’t want to know. I only know that if a woman is forced to marry someone she doesn’t like, it will bring a lifetime of bad luck.

“I just saw that Waner looked so pitiful and it is such a waste. That’s why I became emotional.”

Speaking of this, a bitterness that was difficult to hide appeared on her face. She was the only one who knew how much she had suffered during all these years.

Qi Waner was very surprised. She did not expect that someone would speak up for her. Although she had lived in the capital for so many years, she had been busy treating diseases. Usually, she did not go out and did not know who Chu Xuanyue was. Furthermore, she did not know that Chu Xuanyue was her lover’s mother, her future mother-in-law.

It seemed that the Zhao family were most dissatisfied with Chu Xuanyue’s words. Zhao Cangqiong’s face was so cold that it seemed to be dripping with water.

How could she be considered as pitiful? How could it be a pity? Was his grandson not worthy of the woman from the Qi family?

“President Chu, in terms of seniority, you are a junior. I will not compete with you in daily life, but today is my grandson’s engagement party. I have to argue with you.”

Because Chu Xuanyue had already left the Chu family, before that, the heads of the major families had spent a lot of effort to think about how to address her. It was not appropriate to address her as Miss Chu or her full name, so they finally chose the title of president Chu.

“What advice do you have?”

Chu Xuanyue was still calm, as if she did not see the anger on Zhao Cangqiong’s face at all.

Zhao Cangqiong suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a sullen face, “Did you just say that the girl of the Qi family is in a pitiful situation?”

Of course, Chu Xuanyue would not deny what she had just said. She said calmly, “Yes, I said it!”

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Then let me ask you, what about my grandson?”

“He is not bad. He’s one of the best in the third generation of the aristocratic families in the capital.”

“In that case, why do you say that the girl of the Qi family will be pitied if she marries my grandson? Is my grandson so bad?”

With Zhao Cangqiong’s question, everyone’s eyes were focused on Chu Xuanyue’s face.

“Old Master Zhao, I did not mean that Zhao Hongkun is not good.” Chu Xuanyue said, “I speak from a woman’s point of view. For women, love is the most important thing in their lives. But now, the most important event in her life will be determined by others. Isn’t that a pity?”

“Love has nothing to do with whether you are excellent or not. As the saying goes, each person has his or her own love. No matter how good your grandson is, he is not someone that Qi Waner likes. Why are you forcing her?”

Her words were reasonable and won the approval of many women present. If it were not for the prestige of the Zhao family and the Qi family, someone would have applauded immediately.

“President Chu, that’s not right.” It was Qi Guofan who spoke this time.

“It’s easy for young people to be impulsive and it’s easy for them to be blinded by emotions and make improper choices. As parents, we can help them avoid this.”

“Waner is refusing Zhao Hongkun now. Maybe after ten or twenty years, she will find that Hongkun is the best choice.”

Chu Xuanyue said lightly, “Old Master Qi, you also said ‘maybe’. What if she still insists on her current idea after ten or twenty years?

“For example, I don’t regret what I thought at that time. I always think that my choice is right.”

After she said this, everyone looked at Chu Shanhe in unison. However, Chu Shanhe was indeed an experienced fox. He did not take it seriously at all. He continued to sip the tea in front of him slowly, as if nothing had happened.

Today was the day of the engagement party between the Zhao family and the Qi family. He would not get involved in this mess.

Qi Guofan snorted and said, “Even if what you said makes sense, as the child from an aristocratic family, she has to contribute to their family, including her marriage.”

What else could Chu Xuanyue to say? At this time, Qi Waner said, “Aunt Chu, thank you for your help.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I did not help you much. You have to keep your happiness in your own hands. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future.”

After saying that, Chu Xuanyue stopped talking. She picked up the teacup in front of her and slowly sipped from it.

Zhao Cangqiong said, “Waner, it’s time for you to make your stand. At this point, our Zhao family will not take the blame. You have to give us a way out.”

“A way?”

The people around sneered. Being publicly rejected, was there any way for the Zhao family to get out of this situation?
