Chapter 270 Rejected Again
Seeing everyone's silence, Lu Mingzheng slapped his forehead. "I shouldn't have relied on you guys. Go wash up and go to sleep."
His lifeless face transformed into one of ecstatic joy the moment he entered the room.
He locked the door behind him and, on his way to the bathroom, stripped himself completely naked.
After washing myself until I smelled nice, I lay naked on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
"Looking for a wife, looking for a wife, looking for a wife..."
Excited, Lu Mingzheng found he couldn't fall asleep despite muttering to himself for a long time. He jumped up and looked around, but couldn't find any handy weapons.
Finally, staring at the snow-white wall, he rammed his head into it.
"Lu Mingzheng, Lu Mingzheng... wake up... what happened?"
Lu Mingzheng vaguely heard someone calling him. He struggled to open his eyes and saw Jiang Ruzhen looking at him with concern.
"You went back and confessed the truth and got beaten? Is Bai Jing really your biological mother? That was too harsh."
Jiang Ruzhen carefully applied a cold compress to the swollen bump on Lu Mingzheng's forehead. Lu Mingzheng stammered, feeling embarrassed to admit that he had bumped into something and just mumbled something to brush it off.
He tried to take advantage of Jiang Ruzhen by pushing her down, but she refused.
"You're injured like this and you're still thinking about that. Take a rest today."
"Huh?" Lu Mingzheng was dumbfounded.
He ruined his long-awaited reunion date, and he really wanted to smash a bump on his other forehead too.
Despite his repeated explanations that he bumped into the bag, Jiang Ruzhen didn't believe a word he said.
Her impression of Bai Jing worsened. "You wait, I'll get revenge for you tomorrow. If your mother comes to my house to propose again, I'll definitely reject her harshly and make her lose face, to avenge you."
Lu Mingzheng: "......"
No, is this to vent his anger or to deliberately annoy him?
Other people only need to submit a report to get married, so why does his wedding journey seem like a pilgrimage to the West, requiring him to go through eighty-one tribulations?
As expected, the Lu family came to propose marriage again the next day, and this time Bai Jing was very confident.
Holding Tian Rong's hand, he blatantly lied, "Sister Tian, you really have a wonderful daughter. I liked your Ruzhen the moment I saw her."
She's so capable, managing such a large business all by herself. She's intelligent and poised; I absolutely adore her.
Both of them are getting on in years, and I keep urging them to get married. I'm so anxious for them to get married, but these two younger ones aren't in a hurry at all!
It's all my son Xiaozheng's fault for being too busy. He hasn't brought anyone home to have dinner with us yet, and I'm getting really anxious. So I had no choice but to take the betrothal gifts and go to his family to discuss the marriage myself.
You can rest assured that you will entrust Jiang Ruzhen to me. I will definitely treat her like my own daughter and spoil her."
Tian Rong was deeply moved upon hearing this and took Bai Jing's hand affectionately.
"Bai family sister, what you said really touched my heart. My youngest daughter has had a tough life and suffered a lot when she was young. I never thought she would meet such a good young man as Xiao Lu."
I also have high hopes for them. I never ask for them to be rich or powerful; I just want them to be safe and happy.
“Oh, my dear mother-in-law, you’re absolutely right. That’s what all parents think. We don’t ask them to be rich and powerful, we just want them to be safe and sound.”
Lu Weiguo seized the opportunity to express his opinion, and Jiang Nian'an deeply agreed. He pulled Lu Weiguo aside to play chess and enjoy tea.
Unexpectedly, the two old men got along very well and were so eager to kowtow and burn incense to become sworn brothers.
With the combined efforts of the two elders of the Lu family, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were overjoyed and were about to agree to discuss the wedding date.
Jiang Ruzhen entered the room, her tone icy.
“I do not agree to marry Lu Mingzheng. We have broken up and have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
Bai Jing was initially a little awkward when she saw Jiang Ruzhen, but she immediately became anxious upon hearing her words.
"No, Xiao Zhen, you two just had a little disagreement, right? Don't keep talking about breaking up. If you're angry with Xiao Zheng, I'll make him kneel down and apologize to you right now."
As she spoke, Bai Jing actually kicked Lu Mingzheng in the back of the knee, and Lu Mingzheng knelt down in front of Jiang Ruzhen in front of everyone.
Luckily, he was wearing a suit today; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do this.
Lu Mingzheng had been watching his parents perform, but now that it was finally his turn, he immediately tried to show off.
"Ah Zhen, heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for you. Please, just marry me, I beg you..."
Lu Mingzheng, who is usually a troublemaker at home, shamelessly knelt in front of Jiang Ruzhen, hugging her leg and acting coquettishly.
The scene was so jarring that the two elders of the Lu family turned their heads away, their faces full of disgust.
Jiang Ruzhen blinked, not understanding what Lu Mingzheng was up to.
Didn't we agree to make things difficult for Bai Jing again today?
Lu Mingzheng: I didn't say that, it wasn't my meaning.
"In short, I disagree with any of your claims about the dragon's roar."
Jiang Ruzhen had no other choice, so she left everyone behind and went back to her room. Lu Mingzheng immediately got up and followed her.
Tian Rong and Jiang Nian'an exchanged a glance. Jiang Ruzhen's little expressions might fool the Lu family, but they couldn't fool the two of them.
"It's obvious Jiang Ruzhen is faking it," Tian Rong said, pulling the embarrassed Bai Jing along.
"Bai family girl, don't take my stubborn mule to heart. This is a matter she can't disagree with. Let's discuss when to set the wedding date first, shall we?"
"Okay, okay!" Bai Jing couldn't be happier.
The four elders ignored the two young people's antics and began discussing the wedding details on their own.
As soon as Lu Mingzheng entered the room, he locked the door, picked up Jiang Ruzhen, and put her on the bed. He then pounced on her like a hungry tiger.
Before Jiang Ruzhen could react, Lu Mingzheng had taken advantage of her in many ways.
"What are you doing? It's just one night without doing it, why are you acting like a hungry wolf?"
Why didn't you say yes to my marriage proposal?
"Didn't we agree on this yesterday?" Jiang Ruzhen was still full of questions.
"Who consulted you? I told you yesterday that my family likes you a lot, and they're all giving me advice on how to win you back."
"Then why didn't you explain it clearly yesterday?" Jiang Ruzhen glared.
"I..."
Lu Mingzheng couldn't explain it anymore. He should have just gone to sleep normally yesterday. Who told him to hit the wall and faint in his moment of pleasure?
"What do we do now?" Jiang Ruzhen was also angry. She had already refused, so she couldn't just say she had changed her mind after a short while, could she?
"There's nothing I can do, I can only wait for another opportunity. But you have to make it up to me..."
How will you be compensated?
"Good boy, come into the space, I'll show you myself."
Jiang Ruzhen obediently led the person into the space, and the two immediately seized the time to make love.
However, when it was time to leave, Jiang Ruzhen still put on a cold and aloof demeanor, while Lu Mingzheng fawned over her like a lackey.
Bai Jing glared at Lu Mingzheng again and again, while Lu Weiguo shook his head repeatedly.
This youngest son has really gone crazy from serving in the army; he doesn't know how to charm girls. I wish I could take his place.
Another day wasted.
On the third day, Lu Minghe and his two siblings took turns bombarding Jiang Ruzhen with visits, but she still firmly refused.
Lu Mingzheng's leave was over, and he had no choice but to return to his unit.
Bai Jing was still thinking of going to Jiang Ruzhen's house to ease tensions, but Jiang Ruzhen was summoned to Yangcheng that night by a phone call from her eldest son.
"Mom, Tingting's childhood friend keeps harassing her. And Tingting's parents really approve of them. What should I do?"
