The lobby of the old Zheng family was filled with a thick atmosphere of melancholy. Suihua was sitting aside and crying non-stop. Zheng Shaochun kept puffing on his pipe. The smoke was all around him, making it impossible to see his facial expression.
Zheng Xinyue and Zheng Xinwei looked at each other, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Zheng Shaochun slowly asked, "Xinyi, Daddy just wants to ask you one question. Are you really pregnant?"
"It is true that I was with Cheng Haoyu during the six months I was in Beijing, but we both respected each other very much and definitely did not do anything out of line." Zheng Xinyi responded seriously.
"You were so determined to break off the engagement with Cheng Haoyu, why are you getting together with him again? Now the whole village is talking about our Zheng family. Where will we put our face in the future? How are we going to face the people in the village?" Cuihua choked.
"I went to Beijing first, and Cheng Haoyu shamelessly chased me there." Zheng Xinyue stood up for Zheng Xinyi.
Everyone turned their gazes to Zheng Xinyue. Finally, Zheng Shaochun rolled his eyes at her in a bad tone, "What do you know?"
"I know, I know everything." Zheng Xinyue told everyone everything that happened in Beijing.
Zheng Xinwei glanced at his parents, whose emotions had calmed down, and then responded, "So this is what happened. Then it's really not our Xinyi's fault. And to be honest, Cheng Haoyu is actually quite good and worthy of my sister."
"Yeah, that's what I think. Dad and Mom, don't you like Cheng Haoyu very much? And you often praise him. When my sister broke off the engagement with him, didn't you feel regretful? Now that they are together, you should be happy." Zheng Xinyue said.
Zheng Shaochun rolled his eyes at her and scolded her, "What's there to be happy about? The past was the past, and the present is the present."
"Dad, my sister's happiness is the most important thing. As for what the people in the village say, let them say whatever they want!" Zheng Xinyue said as if she didn't care.
"What are you talking about? I can't stand being pointed at and criticized by the villagers every day from now on." Cuihua said with a frown.
"Dad, Mom, I actually think that since things have come to this, we should support my younger sister and Cheng Haoyu's marriage." Zheng Xinwei said seriously.
Zheng Shaochun was about to speak when Zheng Xinyue stopped him. "I agree with my brother. Anyway, the story between my sister and Brother Haoyu has been widely spread in the village. My sister's reputation has long been ruined by Brother Haoyu. Instead of this, it would be better for my sister to marry Brother Haoyu. Besides, after their visit to Beijing, they are already in love with each other."
Zheng Shaochun and Cuihua looked at each other. There was really no better way except this one. Besides, Cheng Haoyu grew up under their care. If it weren't for the broken engagement, they would have always had a very high opinion of him.
Zheng Shaochun sighed deeply and said, "We'll discuss this tomorrow based on the Cheng family's attitude."
Cuihua covered her mouth and nose and cried softly: "It's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. How could something like this happen at home?"
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I made you worry." Zheng Xinyi said with a sense of guilt.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go to bed!" Adam Cheng did not respond to Joyce Cheng's words.
Zheng Xinyue swallowed her tongue at Xinyi. After her parents left, Xinyi was full of gratitude: "Brother, Xinyue, thank you."
"As long as you are happy." Zheng Xinwei patted her shoulder meaningfully and said.
