Chapter 51 It's Wang Manman again.
Cen Yan isn't stupid.
If it weren't for someone stirring things up behind the scenes, given the experience of these two senior figures, Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua, they would never have come to the family compound to cause trouble on the day they received their marriage certificate.
They were all respectable people, and being older, they didn't care about saving face, so they always gave Qi Jingchuan some leeway.
In addition, Aunt Tang, who had been so warm and welcoming to her, suddenly became cold and distant.
There wasn't a key figure involved, so she couldn't possibly believe anything he said.
When Su Xianhua heard Cen Yan's question, he realized that since they were all family, there was nothing to hide or keep from each other.
“Indeed, someone came to us gossiping. It was a girl named Wang Manman who said she was the niece of Political Commissar Lu’s wife, Wang Lijuan. She came to the hospital to visit us, and while she was talking, she brought up your marriage certificate.”
"Thinking back on it now, that child was really cunning. She deliberately emphasized that you were a capitalist's daughter, arrogant and domineering. Relying on the marriage agreement set by the older generation, she forced Jingchuan to marry her, trying to ruin Jingchuan's future."
"We two old folks got so anxious that we made such a blunder."
Su Xianhua and Zhao Gongqin are old people, and they can't be so proud. If Qi Jingchuan is in love with her, and the other party is a rich woman with questionable character, they would accept it for the sake of their child's happiness.
But Wang Manman told them that Qi Jingchuan was forced into this marriage by being forced to accept it through a childhood betrothal. The two old folks couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked the nurse to remove the IV and headed straight for the family compound.
Wang Manman.
Upon hearing this name, both Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan's eyes turned cold.
“Grandpa, Grandma, it’s getting late today. I’ll visit you with Cen Yan another day when we have time. Grandma isn’t feeling well, so we should go back to the clinic as soon as possible and wait for the doctor to say she can be discharged.”
Qi Jingchuan remained expressionless, showing no intention of negotiating.
“We just arrived, we just met you, and you brat are already kicking us out? You're so disrespectful! Do you believe I'll call your parents and tell them what will happen to you…” Zhao Gongqin said urgently.
Su Xianhua pinched his ear, "You old fool! Today is your grandson's wedding night, do you have to disturb the young couple?" Do you still want to hold your great-grandson?
Zhao Gongqin's eyes lit up: "Alright, I'll give Yan'er face today. I'll hold you accountable for not explaining yourself properly another day. Humph! Um, Yan'er, could you see us off? This old man has something to say to you privately."
“Okay.” Cen Yan glanced at Qi Jingchuan, then stepped forward to help the two elderly people out.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Zhao Gongqin took out a bankbook.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry about what happened today. I shouldn't have spoken so recklessly and cursed people. I apologize to you, but please don't take it to heart. From now on, you have to live a good life with Jingchuan, understand?"
Cen Yan quickly refused, "Grandpa, Qi Jingchuan and I are engaged by our elders. We are just fulfilling our commitment now. We will naturally live a good life together in the future. Besides, I recently got otitis media and my hearing is not good. I didn't hear what you just said at all, let alone take it to heart. Please take the money back."
"Alright, stop passing the buck. This money isn't for apologizing to you. It's a betrothal gift from us, the two old folks, on behalf of Qi Jingchuan's parents. It wouldn't be right to refuse it."
Upon hearing this, Cen Yan hesitated before reaching out to take the passbook. "This... then I'll accept it. Consider it a token of support from Qi Jingchuan's elders for our little family."
"It's good that you accept it, my good child. Your grandparents are overjoyed to see that Qi Jingchuan's wife is you. You must come and visit your grandparents when you have time, okay?" Zhao Gongqin smiled from ear to ear.
Cen Yan nodded, "Of course, I'll come to visit you when Qi Jingchuan's troops aren't so busy."
"Hey! It doesn't matter if he comes or not, as long as you come! Alright, we need to call that brat's parents about today's events to put their minds at ease. We'll be going now."
