After Lu Huai finished speaking, he turned to leave, just then Bai Zhenzhu ran out dressed in red.

"Lu Huai! Don't go."

Bai Rong said to the woman behind Bai Zhenzhu with some helplessness, "Take her away."

Bai Zhenzhu was happily anticipating her wedding, but she never expected things to turn out this way.

She had been looking forward to this day for so long, and Lu Huai had come to marry her, but her father suddenly changed his mind. How could she accept this?

"No, Lu Huai, don't go. I'm willing to marry you. Don't listen to my father. He doesn't have the final say. You can't trust his words," Bai Zhenzhu said hysterically.

Lu Huai didn't rush to leave. Instead, he walked up to Bai Zhenzhu. Bai Zhenzhu watched Lu Huai walk towards her step by step, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.

He looked at her and said coldly, "Comrade Bai, we were never meant to be. It was all forced before. I can't be the kind of live-in son-in-law your family wants. I believe you will meet someone better in the future. Let's wish each other well from now on."

Tears streamed down Bai Zhenzhu's face as she yelled at Lu Huai, "You said you would marry me! You said it! You can't go back on your word!"

Lu Huai turned to the wedding party members who had followed him and said, "Let's go!"

He didn't want this marriage, so this outcome was a relief.

Bai Zhenzhu watched the man leave without even turning his head, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

She even harbored some resentment towards her family; she had never liked anyone this much in her life.

Now that they've finally met him, why are they forcing him away?

"Pearl, don't cry. Lu Huai is really not right for you. He doesn't care about you at all. Even if you two get married, your life won't be easy."

White Pearl's mother spoke earnestly beside her.

But right now, Bai Zhenzhu really couldn't listen to anything. She looked at her mother with red eyes.

"Mom, you know how much I like him, why are you doing this?! Feelings can be cultivated. If I marry him, I'll definitely be happy. Why are you ruining my happiness? Why?"

Bai Zhenzhu cried uncontrollably, and at that moment, Bai's mother also felt a little sad.

To be honest, ever since the two children got engaged, every time his family saw Lu Huai, he would just give them a polite smile.

He has never genuinely liked his own daughter.

As parents, they could all sense that Lu Huai deliberately kept his distance from Pearl every time they met.

They could hardly miss the occasional barely concealed disgust.

This whole thing was a carefully considered decision, all because Lu Huai really wanted to get married.

Say some nice things, even if you don't become their son-in-law, as long as his attitude softens a little.

Give them some reassurance, and they will agree to the marriage.

But no, Lu Huai never even considered struggling.

How can anyone feel comfortable marrying off their precious daughter of nineteen years to such a person?

"Pearl! Your parents are doing all this for your own good. Even if you marry him, he won't care about you in the future."

"For my own good, you want to lock me up on my wedding day and watch me go without getting married. I hate you."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bai Rong slapped her across the face.

"Bai Zhenzhu, wake up! They don't even want you!" Bai Rong's roar brought Bai Zhenzhu back to her senses a little.

She stopped struggling, but her tears fell even more profusely as her mother held her.

How could she not know that Lu Huai didn't like her? She was just too clear-headed and understood that there was no possibility of her being with him in this lifetime, which is why she resorted to despicable means.

But what could she do? Last night, her good father overheard her conversation with her cousin.

They immediately called her mother over and took her cousin out.

Her mother stayed with her all night. She thought that her mother was reluctant to let her go since she was getting married the next day, so she stayed with her for one night.

The mother and daughter chatted until midnight, but little did she know that she had been naive. When she woke up in the morning, her watch was gone.

She asked her mother what time it was and if she had gone overtime. She said no, that it was still early, and told her to sleep a little longer.

At the time, she naively thought that she had gotten up early because she was too excited.

So, feeling at ease, I went back to sleep.

Even after she woke up again, her mother told her to sleep a little longer.

Even if she were incredibly dense, she would have sensed that something was wrong.

She jumped straight out of bed and flung open the curtains.

Just looking at the sun outside, she knew she was doomed; she had overslept.

She complained to her mother, "Mom, the sun's already high in the sky, why didn't you wake me up?"

Bai's mother did not look very well.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't care about anything else, quickly dressed, and was about to go outside.

But her kind mother blocked the door, preventing her from going out.

"Mom, what are you doing? I'm getting married soon and it's going to be too late."

Bai's mother remained unmoved, and it took a long time for her to beg before her mother finally allowed her to leave.

However, they couldn't go to the living room; they could only open the door and hear the entire conversation between the two people in the living room.

Even without listening, Bai Zhenzhu knew exactly what Lu Huai would choose.

Although he came from a poor family, she could sense how proud he was in their daily interactions.

His father wanted him to become a live-in son-in-law, but how could he possibly agree?

Hearing his final answer, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Even so, she still wanted to marry him, even if he never had her in his heart for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Lu Huai was about to leave, she panicked and couldn't help but beg him, but he was so heartless that he didn't leave her any room for maneuver.

"Mom and Dad, why are you putting him through this test? I don't care how he treats me in the future, I just want to be the one by his side. Haven't you always loved me the most? Why won't you let me have such a small wish?"

Bai Rong knew that no matter what she said to her daughter now, she wouldn't listen.

He knelt down and helped her up from the ground; "The ground is cold, let me help you sit on the bed."

Bai Zhenzhu kept crying, while Lu Huai felt relieved after leaving the Bai family courtyard.

"Brother Lu, are we just going back like this without welcoming our new bride?"

The other members of the wedding party also looked at Lu Huai. To be honest, although they wanted to speak at the Bai family's house, they always felt that they were not good with words.

Fearing that saying more would only make things worse, they dared not say anything.

Lu Huai shrugged and said, "Let's go! The wedding can't be held today, but since everyone is here, consider it a simple meal I'm treating you all to at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unconsciously took a step back.

I almost went back.

Fortunately, he quickly regained consciousness. Just a moment ago, he had a command in his mind to go back and find Bai Zhenzhu.
