The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 22: Forcing Qinghe to cancel the engagement!
After hearing this, Jingying smiled and said softly: "Brother Jian, I know you have liked me since childhood, but we are not suitable!
After I marry into the Jiang family, I will definitely find a way to repay you for your kindness to me!
The most important thing for a man is wealth and status. Once you have these, you can marry any kind of rich girl you want!"
Unexpectedly, Li Jian looked at her affectionately and said very seriously: "But in my heart, no noble lady can compare to you!"
Jingying burst out laughing after hearing this and asked half-jokingly, "Really? Are you willing to do whatever I ask you to do?"
Li Jian nodded, "For you, anything is worth it!"
Jingying looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but giggle. After laughing, she sighed softly, "Alas, it's a pity that your last name is not Jiang..."
When Li Jian heard this, a trace of anger and embarrassment flashed across his face, but he immediately returned to normal and said silently in his heart: "What's so great about being surnamed Jiang! You want to marry someone with the same surname so much, but I'm afraid they won't want to marry you!"
……
After Qing He returned home, as soon as she entered the front door, her younger brother Yao Chengzu and younger sister Yao Furong ran out from the side room and said anxiously, "Sister, you're back! Mother is waiting for you in the upper room. She said she has something to tell you!"
Qing He walked towards the upper room without saying a word.
After entering the room, I saw Li sitting upright on a chair with a very strange expression.
Qing He said, "Mom, I heard you were looking for me?"
"Yes!"
Li said in a gloomy tone, "Mother asked you to come here today just to ask you, what are you going to do about that matter?"
Qing He asked back: "What should we do?"
Seeing her self-righteous look, Li couldn't help but sneer with contempt: "Why, are you planning to just let go of what happened that night? Who was the man who ran away? How did you know each other? Why did he run into your room in the middle of the night?"
Qinghe was immediately furious when she heard this!
She looked straight at Li and said, "I just wanted to ask you, mother, why did your daughter meet with an accident, but as a mother, instead of comforting her and trying to catch the criminals, you threw dirty water on your own child without asking any questions?
Why, am I not your daughter? Or is there something hidden here?"
Li couldn't help but get furious when he heard this!
She sneered twice and said with disdain, "Humph, you are born shameless! You did such a shameless thing and you still have the nerve to blame others!
You don't have to blame this or that. In my opinion, instead of wasting your time thinking about how to explain to the Jiang family!
If this really gets to the other person's ears, and he comes to cancel the engagement, I can't afford to lose face! You might as well take the initiative to avoid embarrassing him! It would also bring shame to us!"
Qinghe said nothing, just looked at Li coldly.
Li felt a little scared when she was looking at her, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you looking at me? Did I ask you to do such a shameful and despicable thing? I don't know who this vixen took her moral character from! There is no such a despicable person in my family!"
There was a sound of the door, and a young man about ten years old came in. He was thin, with fair skin, puffy eyelids and small eyes. It was Qinghe's younger brother Yao Chengzu.
He said to Li seriously, "Mom, don't wrongly accuse my elder sister! I saw the thief enter the backyard with my own eyes that night. It had nothing to do with my elder sister!"
Li and Qinghe were both surprised to see him suddenly appear!
Li immediately frowned and sternly scolded, "The adults are talking, why are you butting in? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out!"
Yao Furong also followed in from outside.
The two of them listened outside for a while, but later they couldn't stand their elder sister being wrongly accused anymore, so they came in to argue.
Yao Furong said to Li: "Mother, my elder sister would never do such a thing. Chengzu saw it with his own eyes that night, so he can't be wrong!"
After hearing what the siblings said, Li couldn't help but add fuel to the fire and became even angrier. She said angrily, "What do you know, little kid? Don't get involved here! Get out now!"
Seeing that the siblings didn't move, Li turned to Qinghe and scolded her, "Did you see that? It's all your fault! You even caused Furong Chengzu to lie with you! It's so hard to learn good things, but it's so easy to learn bad things!"
Qing He said calmly: "Mom, let me ask you again, do you really think I am that kind of person?"
Li curled her lips and sneered, "Who knows? The matter is right in front of us. There are so many people living in the yard. Why didn't he go to someone else but went to your room? So many people saw it. He can't deny it even if he wants to!
If this gets out, how can we live as human beings? It doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined, but your younger brothers and sisters will also be ruined with you! How can Bilian and Furong get married in the future?
Who would be willing to marry a girl from a family with a bad family tradition? Even Chengzu had a hard time finding a wife! I thought I could get some benefits from you and enjoy the good life, but who knew that such a shameful thing would happen!
If you still have me as your mother in your heart, and still care about your brothers and sisters, you should cancel the marriage yourself, and don't wait for others to come and cancel the engagement, and make us lose face as a result!"
At this point, Li's tone suddenly changed, and she said in a serious and caring manner: "Qinghe, don't worry, once you leave here, no one will know about this! I will give those maids and old women some money and tell them not to talk nonsense!
Then, I will bring you and your siblings back to Qingtang Town.
After this period of time, I will find a husband for you again, and you can marry into their family quietly. It will be like nothing happened, and everyone will be happy!
With your looks and conditions, you will definitely be able to find a good in-law!"
After hearing this, Qinghe and Furong were all confused, especially Yao Furong, who wondered: How come Mom suddenly became so reasonable?
The Jiang family hasn't done anything yet, but she has taken the initiative to give up her current wealthy life and move back to her hometown? This is not like her style.
According to her understanding of Li, even if the Jiang family took the initiative to cancel the engagement, she would probably make a scene and curse unreasonably, but at least she would keep the betrothal gifts.
Her mother was a well-known smiling tiger and tigress in the three streets and six alleys of Qingtang Town! Normally, she would value even a hundred bucks more than her life, so how come she suddenly became so righteous and reasonable now?
The betrothal gifts from my elder sister are a big piece of fat meat. How could she be willing to spit them out and return them to others on her own initiative? No, there must be something strange here!
Yao Furong said tentatively, "Mother, the Jiang family hasn't come to our house to question us yet. If we take the initiative to propose to cancel the engagement, isn't this a cover-up? It will only make people suspicious. If the news gets out, what will others think of us? How will my elder sister live in the future?"
Yao Chengzu also chimed in, "That's right! Mother, we can't call off the marriage without knowing the reason! That would make it difficult for my eldest sister to live a normal life in the future! No matter who she marries, people will talk about her behind her back!"
After hearing what the brother and sister said, Qinghe felt both bitter and sweet in her heart... The bitter thing was that her mother usually looked gentle and kind, and although she was not as affectionate to her as she was to Bilian, she actually scolded Bilian sometimes, so Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But this time, from the blind date to the engagement, her attitude seemed like a different person. Qinghe always felt that there was some hatred hidden in her heart, and this hatred was related to herself!
Listen: I don't know who this vixen inherited her virtue from! There is no such a vixen in my family!
Is this something a mother would say? Isn't she her biological child?
But then she thought again, although she didn't look like her mother, Bilian Furong Chengzu didn't look like her either, so Qinghe quickly rejected this idea!
The only thing that comforted her was that her younger brothers and sisters were very sensible and stood firmly on her side from beginning to end, which made Qinghe feel very warm in her heart!
Unexpectedly, Li stared at the siblings fiercely, threatening them: "You are really rebellious! How dare you talk to me like that! If you don't want to stay in this house, get out as soon as possible! I won't serve you anymore! Just be careful, don't forget what you have done!"
As soon as these words came out, the Furong siblings, who were originally arguing, immediately lowered their heads and fell silent...
Seeing this, Qing He looked at Li with a cold gaze and said word by word: "Since mother insists that I take the initiative to cancel the engagement, then I will listen to mother, so as not to implicate you and your brothers and sisters!"
