Upon hearing Wang Wei's words, Lao Sufeng objected. A slight smile appeared on her ugly face as she spoke.
"How can you talk like that, child? Our Xiyue was betrothed to you when you were little. Now that you're both grown up, it's time for you to get married. We've come to discuss your marriage..."
A marriage arranged when they were children?
Wang Wei thought to himself, "With my family's conditions, you've always looked down on me. When you came back to the village, you humiliated my family in front of everyone. Now you're coming to talk about marriage with me. How dare you?"
This family, having earned some money working away from home, bought a house in the county town and made a living by running a small business. They would only return to the village for a few days during the Spring Festival, and each time they did, they would mock and ridicule Wang Wei's family, saying things like, "What's the use of studying if you can't earn money without working?" and "Poor people should just accept their fate."
Wang Wei looked at Yin Xiyue; with that appearance, no normal person could possibly be attracted to her…
Besides, Wang Wei already has a girlfriend, and he just won over a girl named Xiao Wu...
"You must be mistaken. Our two families have never arranged any betrothal between our children..."
Wang Wei frowned as he spoke, his entire being radiating rejection…
"What? No? What nonsense are you talking about? You were still in her belly when the engagement was arranged, so it's normal that you didn't know. I've already told you, and now you know, so let's talk about the marriage..."
Lau So-Fen spoke in an air of authority, as if she were an elder and her word was law, leaving no room for argument…
Wang Wei nearly had a heart attack from these words. He couldn't believe that someone so old could say such shameless things. How shameless could someone be to utter such lewd and inhuman words?
Looking at Li Moxuan beside him, Wang Wei understood what had happened. Li Moxuan had previously said he would help him promote his lottery win, and he must have actually done it. Wang Wei had a bad feeling about this, and it turned out to be true...
He looked at the Lau Su-fan family. Given their materialistic and snobbish nature, they must have heard about his lottery win and were trying to steal his prize money this way…
"Aunt Lao, if you're here to visit me, I'll naturally extend my hospitality by treating you to a meal. After that, you can go back to where you came from. If you insist on saying we're betrothed, then I'll excuse myself from seeing you off..."
Wang Wei said with a dark face…
"What? What did you say?"
Lau So-fen's voice rose several octaves, as if she had heard something unbelievable, her eyes filled with disbelief...
Her actions immediately attracted the attention of many passersby, and some even stopped to see what had happened...
Soon, someone recognized that the protagonist of the incident was actually Wang Wei, and a post about "God Wei being forced into marriage" quickly appeared on the school forum, which attracted many extremely curious people to come and see what was going on...
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Lao Sufeng became even more confident, believing she was right, and even began to morally blackmail Wang Wei.
"Xiaowei, I watched you grow up. I treat you like my own son. How can you abandon my daughter just because you're going to college?"
Lau So-fen's words immediately garnered support from some uninformed onlookers, who began pointing fingers at Wang Wei and even questioning his abilities...
"How could Wei Shen do this? How could he dislike his first love?"
"Can't you use your brain before you speak? Look at his first girlfriend's figure, how can she compare to our inspirational goddess Wang Yinchen..."
"Exactly! Goddess Yin Chen is not only beautiful, but also incredibly difficult to control. This fat guy isn't just difficult to control, he simply doesn't want to. If I were him, I'd choose Goddess Yin Chen too..."
"That's no excuse for him abandoning his first love, is it? Maybe this chubby woman was a fairy in her past..."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Wang Wei felt like killing someone…
I was internally scoffing. "They watched me grow up, what right do they have to ask how I've treated me?"
This is clearly an attempt to use public opinion to smear him and achieve their ulterior motives...
“Aunt Lao, if you keep talking like that, then we have nothing more to say. I'm only trying to avoid arguing with you because I care about our fellow villagers, but that doesn't mean I won't say some harsh words…”
Wang Wei frowned and said coldly!
"Honey, I've waited for you for so many years, how can you just abandon me like this?"
Hearing Yin Xiyue's words, some people were not calm. She had already called him "husband." No matter what, she was still a girl. What girl would shamelessly call a complete stranger "husband"? How was she ever going to get married in the future?
Therefore, some people's gaze towards Wang Wei changed, feeling that this might be his true nature...
"Speak properly! I have nothing to do with you. Don't try to morally blackmail me with these words. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't be fooled by your petty schemes..."
Wang Wei's words made those who had just supported Yin Xiyue feel ashamed, but then they became angry. Who the hell are you calling stupid?
"Kid, we're here to inform you that your marriage to Xiyue is settled. You have to marry her, whether you like it or not..."
"I'm not afraid," said Lao Sufeng in a very domineering manner. These completely unreasonable words made some people uncomfortable. However, after being subtly insulted by Wang Wei, these people had learned their lesson and did not directly express any opinion.
However, some people have already started recording videos with their phones, and some have even started live streaming to get more views…
What if I refuse?
Wang Wei looked at her calmly and asked!
"Refuse? This is a marriage arranged by both families, how can you refuse it?"
No matter what, Lau So-fen kept bringing up the issue of childhood betrothal...
"Auntie, what era are we living in? Childhood betrothal? Using such feudal dregs as evidence, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
Li Moxuan couldn't help but say sarcastically...
"Hey... who let you out of here? I'm talking to my son-in-law, what's it to you? Are you trying to bully me because I'm old and easy to bully? Let me tell you, there are still more good people than bad in this world. They won't just stand by and watch a grown man like you bully an old woman like me..."
Lau So-fen's mouth is like a machine gun; she can argue her way out of anything, even when she's wrong...
Who bullied you?
Li Moxuan was completely bewildered, wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? Was I insulted?"
"You dare bully my mom? I'll fight you to the death..."
Yin Xiyue rushed up to Li Moxuan and shoved him hard...
Li Moxuan was a rich second-generation heir, the kind whose body was practically drained, and he didn't even have time to react to the attack...
She was pushed away by Yin Xiyue...
