Chapter 59 Invitation
With the help of some people, these rumors soon became known to everyone.
Even if most people don't believe it, Hu Xiner's reputation is completely ruined due to the gossip of many people.
Hu Xiner had been staying at home these days. She finally mustered up the courage to go out, but as soon as she opened the shop door, children started throwing stones at her.
"Where did this naughty kid come from?" Although she was not hit by the stone, she was still scared.
Mu Qing hurried over to protect her: "Didn't I tell you to rest for a while?"
Hu Xin'er's face gradually turned pale: "What happened? Why did they throw stones at me?"
"They're just a bunch of ignorant wild kids." Mu Qing closed the shop door. "Let's not bother with them."
But on the way back, everyone looked at them strangely.
In this era, a woman's innocence is more important than her life, and the villagers were discussing behind her back whether Mu Qing would divorce his wife.
However, they were not officially married. Even if Mu Qing abandoned Hu Xiner, he was not a scumbag. There were many people who wanted to marry him.
Although the Hu family's door was closed, a matchmaker still came and was kicked out by Mu Qing.
Just when people's suspicions reached their peak, the whole village received an invitation, which turned out to be the wedding of Mu Qing and Hu Xiner!
After some days of recuperation, Hu Xiner slowly came out of the shadow of that incident.
Seeing the wedding invitation in Mu Qing's hand, his face was filled with shock.
"You want to have a wedding with me?" She looked at the invitation over and over again.
Mu Qing's tone was a little nervous: "After so many things these days, I realized that I must give you a status!"
"If it's to protect me, you don't have to do this." The light in Hu Xiner's eyes slowly dimmed.
She was being too sentimental and thought Mu Qing was going to propose to her.
But he was also a man from ancient times, and he witnessed with his own eyes how miserable she was when she escaped from Luo Mansion that day, so he must have felt a little uncomfortable.
"No, it's not just that." Mu Qing hurriedly grabbed her sleeve. "Do you think I would marry someone just to protect her?"
"You don't need to comfort me, and I don't need any pity." Hu Xin'er's voice trembled, but she forced a smile. "I'm fine. I'm so rich, and justice is in the hearts of the people. Once this is over, no one will say anything anymore."
"I really want to shut you up." Mu Qing blurted out his true feelings anxiously, "Don't you understand what kind of person I am?"
"I want to protect you. I can't bear to see you get hurt. I can't bear to see you suffer so much unnecessary harm. This is all because..." His words suddenly stopped, and his ears slowly turned red.
Hu Xiner's face also turned red, and everything was said without words.
"I understand." She kicked the stones and said in a low voice.
"Are you still willing to marry me?" Mu Qing tentatively held her hand.
Hu Xin'er held his hand in return, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously: "I do."
"Why are you crying?" Mu Qing's eyes were full of pity.
"I'm a little touched." Hu Xin'er sniffed, "Now I finally understand what you mean. You just want to live an ordinary life."
As long as both people are well, even the most ordinary days will be sweeter than honey.
The wedding was filled with joy and everyone came to congratulate.
All the merchants who had cooperated with the couple sent gifts. Mrs. Li sent cloth, Li Sangui sent meat... The gifts piled up so high that even Mrs. Zou sent rouge.
The officiant of the wedding is Mr. Wu. With him proving Hu Xiner's innocence, the rumors in the village will surely be reduced by half.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Hu Xin'er, under the red veil, slowly bent down with a shy smile.
"This marriage cannot be concluded!"
The sudden appearance of the Hu family broke the joy.
In addition to Hu's mother and Hu Ronger, there also came Hu's father who had been ill for a long time and had never appeared!
The person who just spoke was Hu Ronger, who walked in arrogantly.
Hu Xin'er lifted her veil and said, "What bad luck! The Hu family has severed ties with me a long time ago. If you know what's good for you, you should just disappear!"
"Look everyone, the notorious boss Hu is so heartless!" Hu Ronger emphasized the word "notorious", and it was obvious that she was talking about the rumor that Hu Xiner got wet.
She thought that Hu Xin'er had now been disgraced, but none of the guests agreed with her. Instead, they all showed expressions of disgust, and the scene was very awkward for a while.
"Relatives? Are you worthy?" Hu Xin'er sneered, "I don't have the habit of being relatives with animals."
Hu's father coughed breathlessly, "You, you rebellious daughter! Not only did you disobey your elder sister, but you also showed up in public, showing no self-discipline!"
"I'm so shameless, and you still insist on claiming me as your daughter. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Hu Xiner's words immediately made the three of them change their expressions.
Father Hu didn't respond and looked at Mu Qing again: "This man is just a homeless man, with no background and no money. Xin'er, do you want to piss off your father to death?"
"What a big tone! You complain about this and that, but you look full of energy and don't seem sick." Hu Xiner saw that he was about to start moral blackmailing again and couldn't help but retort.
"He doesn't have a background, so how could I possibly have one? Oh, so I have a group of 'relatives' who have severed all ties with me but still want to crawl on me and suck my blood, and cause a scene at my wedding!"
Everyone present supported Hu Xiner and cheered for her at this time.
Li Sangui was the first to speak: "Well said! Your own family treated your daughter so badly that they would rather sever ties with her and marry her off to a homeless man. Why are you trying to become her relative now?"
"It's so shameless! I think those rumors slandering Boss Hu were spread by this family!"
…
Mr. Hu was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
Hu Ronger took a few steps forward and was about to attack: "Hu Xiner, ever since you secretly colluded with this homeless man, you've been pretending to be pregnant and disobeying your elders. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
A thin but powerful hand reached out, grabbed her wrist, and threw her to the ground.
"Ah!" Hu Rong'er glared at Mu Qing fiercely. "It was you, a wild man, who kidnapped my sister. So what if you hit me? You two are having an affair without a matchmaker. You'll never get married in this lifetime!"
Hu's mother echoed with tears in her eyes: "Xin'er, you are a good child. Mother knows that you have already admitted your mistakes! You have not had an affair with a strange man. Apologize to your father and your elder sister quickly."
Father Hu snorted coldly: "Since you are not pregnant, you should fulfill your engagement with the eldest son of the Luo family!"
After witnessing Hu Xiner's verbal attacks and Mu Qing's force, this family became unreasonable and unruly, singing the same tune, leaving no room for rebuttal.
In short, they insisted that Hu Xiner could not marry anyone without her parents' permission, and they had already agreed to the Luo family's marriage proposal, so Hu Xiner had to marry into the Luo family!
