Chapter 68: Learning of a Marriage with the Ji Family
This question was asked so suddenly that everyone except Zhong's mother and the others felt a tightness in their hearts, as if struck by lightning.
The previously arrogant daughter-in-law of the old family was like an eggplant hit by frost. She didn't dare to say a word. Her eyes rolled around and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Old Man Zhong met Zhong Qiao's puzzled eyes and sighed.
What is meant to come will come.
People really can't do anything wrong.
"Qiao girl, what do you know? Tell me." he said.
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment.
She could vaguely feel that the atmosphere was not right after she finished speaking, but she still told him everything that Ji's father had said to her.
Especially when Ji's father passionately criticized her, at the end of the criticism, Old Man Zhong's expression became more and more guilty, and his head almost drooped to the ground.
"Dad, is what Qiao Qiao said true? What is going on?"
Mrs. Zhong, who has always known Old Man Zhong, could see that there was something fishy.
"It's a long story."
Old man Zhong looked reluctant to face it, but he had to, and raised his head in great pain.
"It is our Zhong family who went back on our word. We are sorry to the Ji family."
"But no one has ever told you about this, and it's just a joke from God. If you missed it, you missed it. I don't blame you."
What happened back then was so chaotic that it’s impossible to explain it clearly.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Zhong Qiao was confused and asked quickly.
However, before he could finish his words, the unwilling daughter-in-law of the eldest family suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention, and started cursing like a cornered dog.
The trembling tone of her voice revealed her guilty conscience.
"The Ji family is still bringing this up? Are they just refusing to let us go?"
"Isn't our Xiao Hua better than Zhong Qiao? Isn't it just a stand-in marriage? I just casually mentioned it, but didn't it end up happening? And you keep going on and on!"
She went crazy and had a great time, leaving the person involved, Zhong Qiao, confused.
What does it mean to miss something?
What is a substitute marriage?
The Ji family is not only related to himself, but also to Zhong Hua?
"You have a loud voice, so you speak first." Old man Zhong acted as a hands-off boss.
The incident was masterminded by the eldest son's wife. When the Ji family discovered the substitutionary marriage, they felt humiliated and furious. In addition, Zhong Qiao and Xu Shaojun were dating, so they eloped and got married.
The old couple had no way to stop the incident and just let it go.
The eldest son's wife stiffened her neck, and her face looked strange, not knowing whether she was angry or tormented by inner anxiety.
This matter has weighed on her mind for half her life and tormented her for half her life. She is completely fed up with it and has decided to bite the bullet and let it all out.
"Zhong Qiao, do you still remember what happened before you were rescued from the water when you were a teenager?"
She asked Zhong Qiao first.
Zhong Qiao thought about it and shook his head.
When she fell into the water when she was a teenager, the whole compound thought that it was a blessing in disguise for her. She turned from a mute "mute" into a "genius with enlightenment", and was admitted to university, bringing honor to her family.
In fact, only her family knew that she had lost all her memories after being rescued from the water because her head hit a rock at the bottom of the river.
Mother Zhong was worried, so she asked the master to tell her fortune. The master said that a noble person had arrived and her lost soul had returned, so she didn't need to worry about the past.
So, even before Zhong Qiao fully recovered from his illness, he went to Hong Kong with his parents to develop his career with peace of mind.
"Too."
The eldest son's wife sneered. "Zhong Qiao, when you were little, you were known throughout the compound as a heartless person, disdainful of anything good. Now that you've lost your memory, how could you possibly think of the Ji family and that kid?"
"Since you don't care about those good things."
A hideous look suddenly appeared on her face, but her tone was righteous and confident.
"Then why can't the Ji family's engagement be given to our Xiaohua?"
The wrinkles in the Zhong Qiao family's brains were smoothed out in an instant.
"When the old man of the Ji family passed away, you happened to go to Hong Kong. The marriage certificate was written by the old man himself, with your name, Zhong Qiao, in large gold-plated characters."
The eldest son's wife beat her chest and stamped her feet in hatred just by recalling it.
"You, Zhong Qiao, don't you just have the good looks of a foxy girl? Do you deserve it?"
"I really hate it. Why do all the good things belong to you two? Where's Xiaohua? She's your cousin, but she has nothing!"
Her face flushed, but she remained stubborn and said with self-admiration, "So I'll use your name to reject this marriage and replace it with Zhong Hua from our family."
Then she sneered.
"But that kid from the Ji family refused to agree, and he insisted on asking you for clarification. You, on the other hand, are so heartless, saying a lot of heartless words to him."
Zhong Qiao stood still, and when the wind blew, he almost couldn't stand.
How could she, who is so smart, not guess the story behind this?
No wonder the Ji family looked at her so strangely, and Zhou Yingying was so repulsive to her.
It turns out that what Ji's father said was all true.
She remembered about rejecting Ji Hebai.
This was an accident.
It is true that when she was dating Xu Shaojun, a fat man appeared and suddenly asked her if she still liked him.
Ji Hebai's current dignified and elegant appearance is completely different from the fat boy he used to be. How could she recognize him now that she has lost her memory?
A natural and clean rejection.
It's a huge misunderstanding.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other and their expressions changed.
The Ji family originally had a close relationship with their family, and the boy from the Ji family always liked to be close to Qiao Qiao when he was a child, kissing and rubbing against her.
They heard that the old man of the Ji family was going to arrange a marriage for them.
As a result, there was no definite news about this matter until the old man of the Ji family fell ill and passed away.
They didn't take it seriously. Later, when they returned to the compound, the Ji family was cold and distant to them. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, they simply thought that their relationship was shallow and could not stand the test of time.
It turns out that I was wrong, all wrong.
Every key point was wrong.
After saying these words deep in her heart, the eldest son's wife simply gave up.
"Things have already come to this. The marriage is annulled. Can you still kill me? I just want to find a good marriage for Xiaohua. What can I do wrong?"
"Besides."
She was worried that she would be held solely responsible, so she grabbed the second and third daughters-in-law who were cowering beside her, wishing she could tie them up to death.
"Don't you also want to cling to the Ji family?"
"Back then, it was you, my second sister-in-law, who came up with the idea! And you, my third sister-in-law, you and I drove the Ji family away!"
"How dare you chase them away?
Old man Zhong caught the key words and glared angrily.
"My dear, I've never heard you say anything like this. How dare you do this behind my back?!"
"You have brought shame upon our Zhong family!"
The eldest brother's wife's expression changed again and again.
Her mouth was flying ahead, but now her brain finally caught up.
It's over.
She was so busy venting about all the unhappiness she'd been feeling over the years that she let this slip?!
The second and third daughters-in-law were held in her big hands and could not break free. When they heard Old Man Zhong yelling, as if he was going to beat them to death, they immediately felt anxious and angry.
My sister-in-law is such a bad teammate!
"Oh, forget it, old man."
Old Mrs. Zhong couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"This child is already pregnant. I heard that the kid from the Ji family has been arranged to go on a blind date. Maybe it's just not meant to be. Let's just let this matter pass."
