The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Chapter 164 Do You Want to Keep Your Brother Mancang?

Liang Mancang was carrying a thermos of hot water and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

I saw Lin Zao walking forward with her head down. Liang Mancang was wondering, this floor is the ward, why is Zao'er going upstairs?

He called out Lin Zao's name, but Lin Zao seemed not to hear him and walked faster and faster. Liang Mancang saw this, put the thermos in the corner, and hurriedly chased after him.

Lin Zao saw Liang Mancang coming over from the corner of her eye, and she also started to trot, climbing the stairs. In her mind, she was thinking about Liang Mancang's mother holding her hand and saying, "Zao'er, I like you to be my daughter-in-law."

Thinking of An Xi, Lin Zao felt a little sad. She said, "Auntie, Mancang already has a girlfriend. I don't have that blessing."

Liang Mancang's mother patted the back of her hand and said, "Just tell me whether you want to keep your brother Mancang."

There was a bitter expression on Lin Zao's face. Of course she wanted to.

When she was little, she loved to play with Liang Mancang. Her parents had a bad reputation in the village, and other children bullied her. But because it was just a fight between children, no one would care if they saw it. Only Liang Mancang would help her. Seeing that she was hungry, he would give her steamed buns to eat, which he had saved from his own rations.

The two families lived very close to each other. Liang Mancang was older than her and studied in the town. What made her happiest was waiting for him to come back every month during the holidays. She would stand on the roof of her house and see him slowly walking towards her from the village entrance. She would immediately go to find him, read his books, and listen to his stories, the stories in the books and what happened to him in school.

Lin Zao thought, how much she wanted to stay in the same room with him like before and listen to him tell her stories.

Liang Mancang's mother saw through Lin Zao's thoughts and said, "Zao'er, I know what you mean to my Mancang. If you want to keep him, just listen to me."

Liang Mancang's mother's eyes were filled with confidence. She said, "I know my son. He is the softest-hearted one."

Lin Zao walked forward quickly, fearing that Liang Mancang would catch up with her. Thinking of the old lady's words, she rushed straight to the edge of the roof.

Liang Mancang was wondering why Lin Zao was doing on the rooftop. Just as he stepped onto the last step, he saw Lin Zao about to jump downstairs. Seeing this, he was so scared that he shouted Lin Zao's name and ran over to stop her.

He grabbed the emotional Lin Zao by the waist and said, "Zao'er, what are you doing?"

Lin Zao didn't say anything, she just cried. Originally she just wanted to listen to Aunt Liang's words and scare Liang Mancang, but her crying became sincere. She was so emotional, and she hadn't had enough rest recently, that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

……

Liang Mancang covered Lin Zao with a blanket. His mother, who was sleeping on the hospital bed nearby, looked at Lin Zao and shook her head, "This child has a miserable life."

After all, she was the sister he had watched grow up. Seeing Lin Zao like this, Liang Mancang felt uncomfortable and slowly sat down on the stool next to his mother.

"Why did Zao'er suddenly become depressed?"

"I'm going to run and jump off the building."

His mother just shook her head and said, "There is something wrong with our family. We agreed to marry her, but after the trip, no one recognizes the marriage anymore."

"This child must have felt wronged, so he did something stupid."

Liang Mancang stood there in a daze.

His mother added fuel to the fire, "Well, it's no wonder she has such a wrong idea. Everyone in the village knows that we promised her to be your wife. If she goes back like this, who else can she marry? Is she going to marry that idiot again? How can she live in the future?"

Liang Mancang was very nervous, "Mom, I already have someone to marry, how can I marry Zao'er?"

His mother was also somewhat helpless, "This time, it's my mother who has caused you trouble."

"It was just a coincidence that something happened to Zao'er's family, and I wanted to help."

She slapped her thigh anxiously, "What should I do now that this has happened?"

"This poor girl."

As she spoke, she turned her head to peek at Liang Mancang's reaction.

Liang Mancang glanced at Lin Zao, whose face was pale on the hospital bed, and hugged his head in annoyance.

……

"Brother Liang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

An Xi asked as she looked at Liang Mancang, who had a stubble on his face, across from her.

Liang Mancang shook his head and then nodded. He didn't sleep all night yesterday, but couldn't think of any solution. He had to find An Xi and tell her about Lin Zao.

He originally wanted to talk to An Xi about this troublesome matter, but he didn't expect An Xi to directly say, "In this case, let's forget about our marriage."

Liang Mancang heard this and said in a panic, "An Xi, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little upset and want to talk to you."

He asked again, "When you say this, are you blaming me for meddling in Zao'er's affairs?"

Liang Mancang explained, "That was a human life. I couldn't just watch Zao'er die."

"Don't worry, I treat her as my own sister."

He looked at An Xi and said sincerely, "I want to marry you."

An Xi shook her head and smiled. He came to her to tell her all this. Wasn't it because he was also hesitant in his heart?

She said, "Brother Liang, you don't have to explain anything to me."

Their marriage was decided because they saw that they were suitable for each other and they planned to live together. As long as they hadn't gotten the marriage certificate or consummated the marriage, if he wanted to change his mind, An Xi would respect him.

Liang Mancang then felt that An Xi's reaction was too calm, a little too calm.

He was frightened and grabbed An Xi's arms. "An Xi, I understand. I'll find another way to deal with Zao'er's problem. Don't be angry. We can still get married as usual."

An Xi pulled his hand away and just said, "Brother Liang, I'm not angry, really."

"On the contrary, I think my original choice was not wrong. You are really a good person."

“There is still room for maneuver in my case,” she said.

"That girl needs your help more than I do right now."

"Go help her."

Liang Mancang noticed something was wrong and said, "An Xi, please stop saying those angry words."

An Xi explained seriously, "I'm not saying this in anger. I'm sincere about what I said. I've thought about it seriously. Brother Liang, let's just forget about our relationship."

Although her tone was very gentle, the determination in An Qian's eyes made Liang Mancang feel sad.

He asked, "Why?"

An Xi said, "Your family situation is different from what I thought. Your family does not accept me and grandpa."

Liang Mancang looked at An Xi, "Just because of this reason?"

"No, my mother is a very good person, you think too much."

Liang Mancang added, "Okay, even if my mother might be a little unhappy right now."

"That's just because she just found out about this matter and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while."

"But she didn't oppose us. Really, she never said anything bad about you."

He also hoped that An Xi would change her mind. He said, "I understand that you are worried about this matter, but these are not the problems. I am willing to marry you, and I will definitely marry you. As long as we get married, after you marry into my family, we will be a family, and my mother will naturally treat you well."

"Besides, there is no problem that cannot be solved as long as we face it together."

"Don't you believe me, Anxi?"

An Xi shook her head. "I just want to take good care of Grandpa and don't want to be distracted."

Liang Mancang was stunned for a moment, "Just to take care of grandpa..."

He spoke with difficulty and asked, "Is one of the reasons you married me because you wanted to marry me?"

An Xi did not answer his question.

The light in Liang Mancang's eyes gradually dimmed. He let go of An Xi and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yeah, I've thought about it."

“…It won’t change?”

Anxi shook her head.

Liang Mancang understood, smiled bitterly, and left.
