Chapter 73: Chapter 073 Wedding Called Off_1
Everyone knew, after the ordeal today, that the wedding could not possibly take place.
The Jiang Family had their doubts, as did the Huo Family. Their relations had completely deteriorated; how could they become relatives by marriage? If they were to get married now, it would not be a union of families but a feud.
They couldn’t stand by and push their daughter into a pit of fire.
Nan Fei sat with Jiang Yang in a corner, their shoulders touching. Her expressions were indifferent, his eyes were downcast. Nan Fei was aware of the gravity of the situation.
At the same time, she found it absurd.
In her previous life, she struggled so much to end up marrying Huo Beijiang despite everyone’s opposition.
In this life, she conceded to everything, and there was a twist of fate. It was astonishing how ironic destiny could be.
Perhaps this was what people mean when they say character determines fate. At this point, all she had to do was shake her head, and her family would definitely not let her marry. But was that what she truly wanted?
Nan Fei propped her chin up with her right hand, a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Now, just the thought that she might not marry Huo Beijiang, that he might take another woman as his wife instead, sent a wave of pain through her heart, as if it was being gripped by an invisible strong hand.
Pain that made it hard for her to breathe.
In his previous life, he had done whatever it took, marked his territory, to keep her close.
This time, it was her turn!
A determination flashed in Nan Fei’s eyes and she quickly thought of a highly plausible idea.
Zhou Yongxian heaved a sigh, unsure of what to say. She never imagined that her daughter-in-law could be so thoughtless. Had she not witnessed it herself today, she would never believe it.
Was this the same poised woman she knew? Yuan Xueshan was a stranger today, even to her.
She heard of exaggerated fights in the countryside before, only taking them as jokes. Now, her family had become the joke – a story that wouldn’t take long to spread within their rural community.
However, she did not care about these rumors – they didn’t affect her.
After all, she was an outsider, unlike the Jiang Family who had generations of relatives and friends here. They cared more about their reputation and honor.
Zhou Yongxian felt a tightening in her chest, thinking of her grandson’s worried look towards Nan Fei before leaving.
If Beijiang learned about this, she wouldn’t know how to explain it.
That boy was always a troublemaker since he was young, capable of anything.
Sigh! This was a headache! At her age, she shouldn’t have to worry about these things.
“It’s already noon; I’ll start cooking. We’ll talk after we eat!” Zhang Feng Mei stood up and broke the awkward silence. “Regardless of the situation, we must eat.”
“Who can even eat now.” Zhou Yongxian unintentionally voiced her inner thoughts. She beckoned to Nan Fei and said, “The incident has already occurred, and dwelling on it will do no good. Everyone here understands the situation. So I won’t say much more, I just want to hear Nan Fei’s own opinion.”
She believed she couldn’t be wrong about her!
Guan Rufang nodded, indicating agreement. At the same time, she stared intently at Nan Fei, the intention in her eyes clear. The marriage had already been called off when Yuan Xueshan was present. The declaration was made publicly.
A word can’t be taken back once spoken.
The Jiang family had no shame in clinging onto others, she couldn’t imagine bearing such embarrassment. Now it was up to Nan Fei to handle this, it concerned her happiness.
It was her decision to make.
