Chapter 353 I Don't Like You
He frowned, his tone soft and helpless:
"Jinhua...I was young and ignorant before...After that incident, I regretted it...I was definitely wrong at the time."
"But that was all instigated by my brothers. In fact, I am sincere to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much time on you."
Jinhua lowered her eyes and sneered: "Then your sincerity is really cheap. Sister Xiaoyan, let's go, we still need to buy osmanthus cake."
After saying that, he pulled Xiaoyan and was about to leave.
Zhou Ziyang opened his arms and stopped her: "Jinhua... Actually, there are many misunderstandings between us..."
Jinhua's face turned slightly cold: "Why, after more than half a year, the daughter of Mr. Song hasn't caught up with you yet? Doesn't she still look down on you?"
Zhou Ziyang's expression changed.
After the last incident, the Song family somehow found out that he had spread rumors that Miss Song was his fiancée, and actually sent a few servants to beat him up.
This incident made him lose face in the town.
Zhou Ziyang said: "Miss Song and I... have nothing to do with each other. Yes, yes... my mother proposed to her before... I got it wrong at the time and said she was my fiancée in a hurry..."
"Using your mother as a shield again? Aunt Xie... how pitiful." Jinhua shook her head and looked at him: "So you are stopping me now, do you want to reconcile with me?"
Zhou Ziyang thought, isn't this obvious?
He was about to speak when Jin Hua spoke up: "If you want to reconcile, why didn't you come earlier or later, but now?"
"Did you hear that my family opened a furniture workshop? Or did you know that my second brother won the first prize in the case? Or that my younger aunt was conferred the title of Yiren? Or, that my younger aunt is about to marry into a marquisate? My second brother has a good husband and will have a bright future?"
Zhou Ziyang's expression changed.
Yes, all of them!
In the past, he looked down on Jinhua because she was just a little country girl and her parents were deliverymen. Although she earned dozens of taels a month, he still felt that she was not worthy of him.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he heard that a furniture shop had opened in the capital and was selling very well! What shocked him the most was that the Jinhua family actually had a stake in this furniture workshop!
With that sales volume alone, the Jinhua family can easily earn over a hundred taels a month!
This is no longer an ordinary peasant girl, but a wealthy woman in the village.
Then he heard that this year's top winner was from Qinghe Village, which he was very familiar with! After asking around, I found out that he was Jinhua's biological brother!
Then Ye Caiping was rewarded, and it was revealed that Ye Xuan's husband was the top scholar, and then Ye Caiping personally decided...
All these things destined Ye Xuan to have a bright future, and he would definitely become an official in the court in the future. That Jinhua is the daughter of an official family!
This was the rich and powerful wife he had always dreamed of.
He has always wanted to marry a real daughter of an official family; such status and position would make him feel very proud.
But he couldn't even marry a daughter of a juren, let alone a daughter of an official.
After learning everything about Jinhua's family, Zhou Ziyang felt upset and regretful.
I hate myself for being so short-sighted and not seeing the potential of the Jinhua family!
He had also heard recently that Lady Ye was engaged to Ye Xuan's husband and would be coming to Beijing soon, bringing the eldest wife's family with her.
He was just thinking about finding time to visit her someday, but unexpectedly he met her on the street today.
"Jinhua... I was wrong..." Zhou Ziyang sighed softly, his eyes sincere. He really knew he was wrong! "Can we...can we go back?"
Jinhua sneered: "No! At first you despised me because I was a country girl and not worthy of you..."
Zhou Ziyang said anxiously, "Yes, I was too arrogant at that time, I admit it. But I was instigated and was confused for a moment."
"As a human being, how can we not make mistakes? Just like when you first entered the cloth shop, didn't you make the mistake of not asking the customer to press his fingerprints when measuring someone's body? I forgave you at that time! Now...can't you also tolerate me and forgive me once? You..."
Jinhua waved her hands, "No, this is not a matter of forgiveness or not. What I mean is that you looked down on me at the beginning. Now... I look down on you too! My brother is the top of the case, and my family earns as much as yours. And my family has a better future than yours. I... look down on you!"
After hearing this, Zhou Ziyang's head exploded and he almost vomited blood.
When he looked up again, Jinhua and the other two had already walked away, talking and laughing as they walked, as if his existence was not worth mentioning.
Zhou Ziyang stood there in a daze, but he no longer had the face to chase after him.
As someone who once was high and mighty and looked down upon Jinhua, I can best understand how contemptuous the word "look down upon" in Jinhua's words is.
That's really contemptuous! Don't be fake!
Shame, regret, anger...
All kinds of emotions were churning in his heart, but so what? Who would care about the feelings of a small businessman like him?
In the end, he could only flee in disgrace.
......
A donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the village.
Ye Xuan got out of the car carrying his bag and smiled gently at the village.
Although I only studied with Master Qian for a few days, I still missed home! Starting tomorrow, it’s time to continue studying hard!
He carried two bags and walked towards the village. The villagers he met along the way greeted him.
The village man carrying a hoe: "Hey, Xuan'er is back!"
"yes!"
The woman holding a basin of clothes: "What good things did you buy?"
"Nothing much, some local snacks."
The old man carrying firewood: "You are carrying two small bags. Have you bought everything you need?"
Ye Xuan was a little confused and nodded: "Buy it." Then he continued walking forward.
A young man passing by with a pig said: "Erxuan is going to the capital. I envy him."
Ye Xuan was confused, but before he could ask, the young man drove the pig away.
When will he go to the capital?
How come he doesn't know it himself?
Moreover, why are these questions becoming more and more wrong?
At this time, Mrs. Zhao came towards him on her bound feet, "Where did you come back from, Xuan'er? Is this your uncle's house?"
Ye Xuan was stunned: "Grandma Zhao, what did you say?"
Mrs. Zhao asked, "How come you are hard of hearing at such a young age? I ask, have you returned from your uncle's house?"
Ye Xuan got angry when he heard this: "What uncle? I don't have an uncle!"
I thought she was talking about Li Zhiyuan.
"Why not?" Mrs. Zhao clicked her tongue twice. "Didn't they just get engaged the other day? They even gave the betrothal gift!"
Ye Xuan: "What did you say? Wait, what engagement gift? Who are you talking about..."
"Oh, the betrothal gifts are so numerous that Caiping's house can't even store them all!" Mrs. Zhao just kept talking to herself.
Ye Xuan: “…”
After a long silence, he said, "You mean... my aunt is engaged? She even received the betrothal gift?"
"What else?"
Ye Xuan was stunned: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
It's only been a few days, how come they're suddenly engaged and proposed? What is this? Where did this person come from?
How could his excellent aunt suddenly marry him off? Did you encounter a scammer?
Ye Xuan ran home like crazy. After a while, he rushed into the second gate.
Mrs. Du was hanging clothes and smiled when she saw him: "Oh, my Xuan'er is finally back! If you don't come back, I will send someone to look for you!"
"Mom... why did I hear... that my aunt got engaged?" Ye Xuan ran to her breathlessly.
Mrs. Du smiled and nodded: "Yes! Even the engagement has been made. The betrothal gifts, wow, are so much, so..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Is this about the betrothal gift? I've only been away for a few days."
"Five days!"
"Yes, in just five days, my aunt has already got engaged, received betrothal gifts and is ready to get married? This, this, this..."
"What is this! Anyway, that's what happened. Even the wedding date has been set. There will be two weddings in total. Hahaha!"
Ye Xuan was shocked and said, "Auntie... have you been deceived?"
"Go away, go away, she won't be fooled even if you are fooled!"
Ye Xuan finally regained his sanity from the shock of being struck by a bolt from the blue. Yes, his aunt was much smarter than him, how could she be fooled!
That's true!
Although it is a little hard to adapt to at the moment, but since my aunt is willing, there must be her reasons.
Ye Xuan asked again: "Who is this man? Have we seen him before?"
Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at him and said, "Isn't he your husband?"
"My sir? Which sir?"
"Mr. Shen! From now on, Mr. Shen is your uncle!"
Ye Xuan: “…”
