Chapter 23 Pretending
It must be said that this change in Cen Yan gave him a stunning feeling.
Although Cen Yan used to be good-looking, she was just a superficial person. She was a fool without any brains who allowed himself to be deceived. She was very boring. But the current Cen Yan really made him see something different.
Thinking of this, Wei Zan looked at Cen Yan again, and his eyes changed a little.
Cen Yan felt that he was staring at her without blinking, as if he was evaluating the price of goods, and she felt a little sick.
"I understand. However, I have to go up the mountain to cut grass now. If I come back late, I will be scolded again." Cen Yan frowned and said indifferently, then he was about to walk away from him and move forward.
Wei Zan's expression froze and he felt a little embarrassed and unhappy.
What's the meaning?
He had just talked for such a long time, and thought that he could move the young lady in front of him to tears, but who knew that her reaction would be so cold?
Shouldn't I tell him right away that I will never marry anyone except him?
After all, he didn't mind her disfigurement!
Wei Zan was very dissatisfied.
At this moment, because of his appearance, a large crowd quickly gathered in front of Lao Cen's house.
They were all waiting to see what was going on. After all, the news of Cen Yan's disfigurement had already spread, and everyone was wondering if Wei Zan had made this trip specifically to cancel the engagement.
The people in Lao Cen's family also noticed Wei Zan's arrival.
Second wife Li and Cen Dahai thought about what Cen Yan had said before about breaking off the engagement with Wei Zan, so they felt it was not appropriate to show up and stayed in the house without coming out.
However, the people from the unrelated first and third wives all came out in a hurry to watch the fun, waiting to see the joke of Cen Yan being broken off from engagement.
"Cen Yan, Wei Zan is here, why don't you invite him to your home and have a seat?" Gao said with a smile. She looked kind and gentle as she looked at Cen Yan and then at Wei Zan gently, as if she was looking at her own daughter and son-in-law.
"Yes, sister, what are you whispering to your brother-in-law? Is there any little secret between you that you can't let us hear? Tell me quickly, what is the secret? You don't want to say it, is it something shameful?" Cen Shuang also said in a weird tone and with a hint of meaning.
There was a hint of regret in her tone.
It was a pity that my mother left in such a hurry that she went out early, and she didn’t get to see the funny scene of Cen Yan’s broken engagement!
Cen Yan relied on her good looks to always be better than her, even her marriage was arranged more smoothly than her. But now, after Wei Zan broke off the engagement and her face was disfigured, let's see if this dead girl can find a decent marriage!
Little did she know that she, an unmarried young lady, said such words and directly called Wei Zan, who was only engaged, "brother-in-law". Such behavior was so frivolous and inappropriate!
Upon hearing this, Wei Zan glanced at her, and a hint of contempt flashed across his eyes.
He simply doesn't like young ladies like this.
However, with so many people here now, it’s a good opportunity for me to show myself and let Cen Yan be moved by my determination!
"Cen Yan! No matter what you become, I will definitely marry you! What I care about is never your appearance, but you as a person! In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful! Even if you are disfigured, don't be afraid, because I will treat you well and protect you all my life, and I will not let you suffer any hardship or pain!" In front of everyone, he deliberately repeated his previous words loudly and affectionately.
"..." Cen Yan was already feeling annoyed by Gao and Cen Shuang's talkativeness, and when he suddenly saw Wei Zan's hypocritical performance, he couldn't help but feel like nauseating.
If she had not experienced the tragedy in her previous life, she would be so moved to tears when hearing such words that she would marry no one but you.
But now that she has been reborn, Wei Zan's pretentiousness will only make her more disgusted!
But there were so many people around, and they all started praising Wei Zan.
"Cen Yan, you are so lucky to have such a good fiancé like Wei Zan. He values you so much and protects you. I tell you, a woman only wants to marry a good man in her life!"
"Yes, if my man could be half as good as Wei Zan, I would be very happy!"
"How enviable! Who wouldn't want a husband like Wei Zan?"
"Wei Zan doesn't care about Cen Yan's appearance, which just shows that he really likes Cen Yan. A man like him is a rare good man! Cen Yan, you have to seize the opportunity and don't let anyone snatch him away, otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
The praise from the neighbors made Wei Zan stand up straight with pride. He looked at Cen Yan with anticipation and more of a sense of compulsion in his eyes.
He was waiting for Cen Yan to express her opinion so that she could cooperate with his performance.
He wanted to let everyone know that when he married Cen Yan in the future, it meant that he did not despise Cen Yan. When the time came, Cen Yan would work like a slave for the Wei family, and that was what she should do!
Even if she wants to break off the engagement in the future, it's better to let her know that in everyone's eyes, they are a couple, it was she who changed her heart, and he did nothing wrong!
At this time, in the courtyard of Old Cen's house, when Gao saw that Wei Zan was not here to cancel the engagement, she felt a little regretful that she could not see the joke of Cen Yan being canceled. After all, it was very embarrassing for a young lady to have her engagement canceled by her husband's family, which would make the second branch even more embarrassed in Old Cen's family in the future.
But thinking about the situation of the Wei family, Cen Yan would suffer if she married into the family. This was also the achievement of her original goal, so she didn't feel bad about it.
But Cen Shuang, who was watching the joke along, felt uncomfortable.
She didn't expect that Wei Zan was so devoted to Cen Yan. Even though Cen Yan's face was disfigured and ugly, he still wanted to marry her!
Listening to the neighbors praising Wei Zan and looking at Cen Yan with envious eyes, Cen Shuang's heart also changed a little.
She couldn't help but look at Wei Zan secretly.
He was tall and strong, with a handsome face. He was smiling and looking at Cen Yan with doting in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as if she was hit by something.
Cen Shuang kept entangled her hands on the handkerchief, and an inappropriate thought came to her mind, which jumped out uncontrollably along with the nervous "thump thump" sound of her heart beating.
Why is such a good man Cen Yan's fiancé and not hers?
She also wants a lover who is kind to her and doesn't mind her appearance.
My mother said that if something doesn’t belong to you, you should snatch it.
If you can’t grab it, you’re a waste!
This thought grew wildly in Cen Shuang's mind, controlling her to suddenly walk towards Cen Yan. She hugged one of Cen Yan's arms affectionately with both hands, and stared at Wei Zan dishonestly with her smiling eyes.
