Chapter 397 Forced Marriage

"So, in order to prevent Liu Wanrong from hurting him further, my uncle agreed to marry her?"

Su Jin herself didn't realize that when she asked that question, she felt a heavy, suffocating feeling in her heart.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Yunfeng, she knew he wouldn't compromise on marriage.

To her surprise, Aunt Wu shook her head, "It's not entirely for that reason."

"Anything else?" Su Jin's tone became somewhat out of control.

Wu Ma suddenly hesitated, "They're all saying outside, saying..."

Su Jin pressed impatiently, "What did you say?"

"It is said that Miss Liu has long been Brigade Commander Xiao's woman, which is why she insists on marrying no one but Brigade Commander Xiao."

In Wu Ma's heart, Su Jin was still a child, and she was a little embarrassed to say these things to her.

Su Jin was completely stunned and froze on the sofa for a full four or five seconds.

Seeing that she was silent, Aunt Wu thought she was shocked, so she quickly explained, "Actually, it's understandable. After all, Commander Xiao is a man, and he's at the prime of his life. It would be abnormal if he didn't have a woman."

At least that's what she thinks.

"Did Uncle admit it?" Su Jin suddenly asked.

Aunt Wu looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.

Su Jin continued, "Has my uncle acknowledged his relationship with Liu Wanrong?"

Wu Ma finally understood, "Who would dare to actually ask Commander Xiao to verify something like this? But since Commander Xiao didn't deny it, it must be true."

Su Jin fell silent again.

Such rumors don't just appear out of nowhere; even without investigation, it's clear who deliberately spread them.

It seems that Liu Wanrong is really going all out this time in order to control Xiao Yunfeng.

"Xiao Jin, don't worry too much. Commander Xiao will definitely be able to handle it. But we also need to be prepared. It shouldn't be long before there's another lady of the house in this house."

Although Wu Ma had been living with Su Jin under someone else's roof for so many years, she had long since come to regard this place as her second home.

Now that Liu Wanrong is going to marry into the family, she is indeed a little unsure of herself and doesn't know if she can get along well with Liu Wanrong.

Su Jin glanced at the time and asked one last question, "What time was Uncle invited over by the Liu family?"

"It was around seven o'clock this morning when Brigade Commander Xiao was getting ready to go to the troops. The Liu family came over in a flurry, insisting that Brigade Commander Xiao come over immediately." Thinking of the commotion caused by the Liu family that morning, Aunt Wu was still a little uneasy.

"Logically speaking, a whole day has passed, and even if we were to discuss the engagement, we should have finished by now."

Listening to her worried murmurs, Su Jin knew that Xiao Yunfeng was capable enough to handle all problems, but at this moment she still felt inexplicably uneasy.

Night falls.

The Liu family mansion was brightly lit inside and out.

All the elders of the Liu family were present in the living room.

Liu Xionggang, who is nearly seventy years old, sat upright in the main seat in the center.

Sitting on either side were Liu Wanrong's father, Liu Jinwen, and Liu Wanrong's second uncle, Liu Jinwu.

What should have been a friendly and relaxed conversation turned into an incredibly tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone looked tired; the stalemate all day had made them lose patience.

"Xiao Yunfeng, our Liu family is a good match for you, and Wanrong has waited for you for so many years. Today, you must give the Liu family a satisfactory answer!"
