Zhou Xiangqun was stunned.
He couldn't quite figure out Xu Manzhi's attitude.
What does this mean?
She seemed completely unconcerned.
When he learned from Jiang Mingda that Jiang Xiaoyu was pregnant, he panicked terribly, fearing that the marriage would fall through. He tried several times to explain to Xu Manzhi.
However, Xu Manzhi always avoided people.
He had strength but nowhere to use it, and he was quite desperate.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mingda insisted on having the wedding as soon as possible, and the wedding date was set. He was filled with renewed hope and anticipation.
"I will definitely treat you well from now on. If I, Zhou Xiangqun, go back on my word, may I be struck by lightning and may my Zhou family line be wiped out!" Zhou Xiangqun swore a solemn oath.
Just then, Jiang Pengyue came out and overheard it.
She swayed and nearly fainted.
What is that man saying?
May they be childless and without descendants!
How could he say that?
Besides, the Zhou family doesn't only have one son; there's also his older brother, Zhou Yun.
Jiang Pengyue felt a sharp pain in her heart as she recalled her elder brother's words.
"Alright, you go say a few words to my sister, I'm going back to my room to try on my wedding dress," Xu Manzhi said with a smile.
The Jiang family proposed holding a traditional wedding ceremony.
The bride wore a red dress and a red veil. The mayor was invited to preside over the ceremony, and then the couple entered the bridal chamber together...
Zhou Xiangqun agreed.
He thought that as long as the marriage could be arranged, he would try his best to meet any demands the Jiang family made.
Xu Manzhi didn't want to be a puppet forever.
All she has to do now is wear a red dress, turn around in front of Zhou Xiangqun, and let him see her back; then she won't need to show up on the wedding day.
She couldn't care less about anything else.
"Go ahead," Zhou Xiangqun said, also wanting to talk to Jiang Xiaoyu.
Xu Manzhi brought Dahuang into the house.
As soon as she left, Zhou Xiangqun rushed to Jiang Pengyue's side, dragged her by the hand into the study on the first floor, then slammed the door shut, looking at her with a heavy heart.
"You, you're really pregnant?" he asked awkwardly.
Jiang Pengyue blushed.
She kept reassuring herself that he didn't know she was his future wife yet, and that once things settled down, Zhou Xiangqun would eventually accept reality and treat her sincerely.
So even though Zhou Xiangqun looked down on her, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Yes, the obstetrician said I'm a month pregnant, and the timing is exactly..."
"Are you sure the child is mine?" Zhou Xiangqun suddenly asked.
