Wang Xingren was so questioned that he couldn't utter a word and just kept saying sorry.
Seeing Wang Xingren's embarrassed and self-blaming expression, Zhang Hulan softened her tone and said, "Mr. Wang, we know what kind of person you are, and we have no opinion on you personally.
But getting married is not just a matter between you and Dahua, it is a matter between two families.
We will stay in Beijing for a few days. I hope you can deal with your family problems before coming to us."
"Oh, you're so angry?" Wang Xiaorong said sarcastically, "You're Xingren's mother-in-law? There are so many people here, you're really not giving Xingren face, are you?"
Zhang Hulan looked at Wang Xiaorong and said, "I'm not Dahua's mother. I'm her aunt."
"Aunt?" Wang Xiaorong asked, "Xingren's father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything. As an aunt, are you qualified to intervene in this matter?"
Zhang Hulan looked at Old Man Zhang and Zhang Hujun and asked, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Dahua, do I have the right to manage it?"
Old man Zhang said, "You have the final say on Dahua's marriage."
Li then spoke up: "Big sister, we will all listen to you."
Zhang Dahua whispered, "Aunt, I'll listen to you."
Zhang Hulan looked at Wang Xiaorong, "Am I qualified to manage it now?"
Zhang Hulan ignored Wang Xiaorong and knelt down to bow to Old Marquis Wang, saying, "Old Marquis, I'm sorry."
Old Lord Wang's expression was extremely ugly, but he had to save some face for his old wife, so it was not appropriate for him to speak ill of Old Madam Yang in front of outsiders.
Wang Xiaorong and Li He were overjoyed. They hoped that the Zhang family would leave as soon as possible, and it would be best if the marriage was not cancelled.
Li He stood up and trotted over to Zhang Dahua, "Don't worry, sister. I will listen to you in everything from now on. Let's take good care of our cousin together."
Madam Yang nodded, "Well, Li He is still sensible."
Zhang Dahua glanced at Wang Xingren, then smiled at Li He and said, "Miss Li, please don't call me the wrong person. I don't think we have a family relationship. I am of low status and cannot be called your sister."
In the past year or so, she has learned one thing from Zhang Hulan: no matter what the matter is, she should fight for it on her own and not be afraid of anything.
Zhang Dahua liked Wang Xingren in her heart, and she didn't want to break up with him.
She also heard Zhang Hulan say that you should not listen to what a person says, but watch what he does. What's the point of a person saying something nice?
So she wanted to see how Wang Xingren would handle this matter. If Wang Xingren took his grandmother into consideration and ignored her feelings, then forget about the marriage.
Zhang Dahua was also glad that Madam Yang had brought up the issue today. If she had waited until after the wedding to bring it up, it would have been difficult for her to handle.
When Li He heard Zhang Dahua's words, she looked very pitiful and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by that? Don't you want me to marry you?"
"I didn't say that, and I'm not qualified to say that now.
Since Miss Li wants to marry Mr. Wang so much, I will withdraw.
I just don't know if Miss Li is just wishful thinking. Some things cannot be determined by one person's wishes."
After Zhang Dahua finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Hulan and asked, "Aunt, do the young ladies from the wealthy families in the capital find their own husbands?
They are so happy, they can choose any kind of husband they want.
What if the man disagrees? Will they steal the bride away?"
Zhang Hulan said with a smile, "I don't know about that either. This is my first time in Beijing, and I really don't know the customs of Beijing."
Madam Yang, Wang Xiaorong, and Li He all looked unhappy. What did Zhang Dahua mean by this? Was she saying that Li He was shameless and stole a man?
Ye Hongyun and Ye Hongling both looked at Zhang Dahahua in surprise.
They all had the impression that Zhang Dahua was a pretty girl next door, gentle and weak, but they didn't expect that she was not a pushover when it came to confronting people.
Zhang Xiaobing and his friends at the table next to them were also looking at the adults' table. Zhang Xinyue pulled Zhang Xiaobing and whispered to the others, "Let's eat quickly, or we won't be able to eat in a while."
The others thought that what Zhang Xinyue said was right, so everyone lowered their heads and ate with big mouthfuls.
Madam Yang said, "Why are you speaking so harshly? You are so uneducated."
Old Madam Yang is Wang Xingren’s grandmother, so Zhang Dahua couldn’t say anything.
But Zhang Hulan had no such concerns and said, "The old lady is right, we are just peasants, we don't have any education.
The old lady’s upbringing is still better, the children she brought up are really different.”
"You..." Old Madam Yang pointed at Zhang Hulan, wanting to curse but unable to.
No one said anything else but praised her for her good upbringing and the good children she raised.
But Old Madam Yang knew in her heart that Zhang Hulan was mocking her.
Zhang Hulan ignored Old Madam Yang and Wang Xiaorong. She apologized to Old Marquis Wang and walked out.
The rest of the Zhang family also stood up and walked outside, and Ye Hongyun left with him.
"What do you think this place is?" Wang Xiaorong shouted, "You are so bold to be so disrespectful in front of the Wang family..."
Lord Wang couldn't help it any longer. He slapped the table with a "bang" and said, "That's enough..."
When Lord Wang got angry, neither Madam Yang nor Wang Xiaorong dared to speak.
Lord Wang stood up, bowed to Old Man Zhang, and said, "I'm really sorry for today. I'll come to your house to apologize another day."
"Xingren, send your father-in-law and mother-in-law back first."
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Wang Xingren ignored Old Madam Yang and Wang Xiaorong and the others, and immediately went to see Zhang Hulan and the others off.
Zhang Hulan said, "Mr. Wang, you don't have to see me off. We know the way home. You should take care of your family affairs first."
Zhang Dahua also said, "Mr. Wang, you should stay."
Zhang Dahua's call of "Master Wang" made Wang Xingren's heart ache.
"Dahua, I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well. But don't worry, I will take care of it."
Zhang Dahua smiled and nodded, "Goodbye."
After saying this, Zhang Dahua followed Zhang Hulan away.
Wang Xingren felt very sad when he saw Zhang Dahua leave. He turned around and looked at Old Madam Yang, "Grandma, I hope you won't interfere in my affairs anymore."
Then he looked at Wang Xiaorong and said, "Aunt, I have made it clear today. I will never marry Li He. Even if I never marry in my life, I will never marry her."
"Xingren, you..."
Old Madam Yang looked at Wang Xingren reproachfully. She didn't expect Wang Xingren to speak to her like that.
She also blamed Wang Xingren for speaking so bluntly.
Wang Xiaorong and Li He were stunned when they heard Wang Xingren's words. They didn't expect Wang Xingren to say it so decisively.
Even if he never marries in his life, he would rather not marry Li He. How much does he dislike Li He?
