Chapter 268 Mu Sheng was knocked to the ground
Zhu Xiu Lian was a little absent-minded while selling lunch boxes today.
An's father had noticed several times. On the way back from work, he stopped his electric tricycle and asked her, "Sister, if you still have concerns, you can test me first. We don't have to have the wedding at the end of the month. We can have it in a few years."
Father An wanted to give Zhu Xiu Lian a sense of security and didn't want her to have any mental burden. He also felt that it was a warm gesture and he couldn't force himself to do it.
Marriage is a big deal, and everyone has the right to seriously consider it, regardless of age. She doesn't need to worry, as Nuannuan said that even if she doesn't agree, there will be a way so that she doesn't have to go back to Lao Zhu's house.
Zhu Xiulian hurriedly said, "Brother, you misunderstood. I'm not worried about this. I'm worried...Brother, to be honest with you, my parents and brothers might not let me get married with you so easily."
"They might make things difficult for you, or even ask you to become their son-in-law and serve their family."
Father An was shocked. "Didn't Nuannuan have an agreement with them? As long as I marry you off at the end of the month and wash away the shame of the Zhu family, why would they be so embarrassed?"
"Brother, don't you know that my parents and brothers are all ruthless? Nuannuan has an agreement with them, but what if they cheat? The most important thing is, the 300,000 yuan dowry, I can tell with my toes that they won't give a single cent. They will even take the levy that should have been my quota and ask you to pay the betrothal gift."
"Brother, how about..."
"Don't overthink it. If they won't give, then we won't. If they insist on me taking a betrothal gift, that's fine too. Sister, I just want you to live a stable life with me. These aren't problems." Father An glared deeply at Zhu Xiu Lian. "I sincerely want to marry you. No matter what problems they have, we are united in purpose, and no difficulty can stop us."
Zhu Xiulian's cheeks flushed as she pulled her hand away from An's father's grasp. "Brother, we're certainly of one mind, but what belongs to me should be taken back. They themselves told the villagers this. I've been humiliated for fifteen years, and I can't let you suffer with me."
Father An could tell she was worried about him. "But if we don't do what they ask, you'll have to go back. Sister, I know you're worried about me, but compared to this, I think nothing is more important than marrying you back and keeping you away from them."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. If they really dare to be harsh on us, have you forgotten? Our Nuannuan has President Mu as her backer. If we let them do whatever they want, how can they possibly defeat President Mu?" An's father teased her. Zhu Xiulian nodded quickly, "Yes, we still have President Mu. Besides, Nuannuan is so smart, she will definitely not let us be humiliated."
Father An nodded vigorously. "That's right. Just be open-minded. Things will work out in the end. Okay, let's go back now, take a shower, and change clothes. The hotel manager is waiting for us to discuss the details. Let's not think about anything else now. Just hold the graduation banquet and marry you back in style."
Zhu Xiulian lowered her head in shame and said, "Okay."
The two returned to their one-bedroom apartment. Wu Qingqing went out to order a banquet, but the snack bar was closed.
Mr. An's mood didn't change much when he passed by. Zhu Xiu Lian kept looking at him. She believed that he would completely let go of Wu Qingqing.
Without realizing it, all her worries came to light.
When An Nuan received a reply from Aunt Li asking the Zhu family to hold a banquet at the end of the month, the competition between Mu Sheng and the other four was in full swing.
An Nuan glanced at the competition venue. There were still ten minutes left before the competition ended. She said hello to Li Xiong and said she would come back after taking a call.
Li Xiong did not stop her. He was eager for An Nuan to leave. Mu Sheng was too handsome. Since the start of the competition, An Nuan had never taken her eyes off him.
Although Mr. Mu was playing the game very seriously, Li Xiong felt that he was trying to look cool on purpose!
For example, a few minutes ago, he could have clearly dribbled the ball and shot, but he had to fake the ball to Zhang Yang, causing Xu Jie and others to make a mistake and Zhang Yang made a three-pointer.
Li Xiong didn't think Zhang Yang fought badly. It was just that Xu Jie and the others were the ones he had always admired and longed for. Suddenly, he was pinned to the floor and rubbed by President Mu and the others. To be honest, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Brother Jie, come on."
Li Xiong felt that he should give them some morale boost.
Xu Jie and his friends ignored Li Xiong's encouragement. The flames burning in their pupils were not because of him, but because they were angry that they would be pressed to the floor by the uncles today.
"Brother Jie, this won't work. One of them must leave the field."
"Yes, four against five. With our strength, we will definitely be able to surpass them."
"I see they all look up to the most handsome one. Coincidentally, Li Xiong will definitely hesitate to go to Beijing University when he sees that Junior Sister An is particularly concerned about him."
"Brother Jie, let's go with him! I'll find a way to injure him, and you guys hurry up and overtake them."
Xu Jie nodded, "Okay, let's choose him!"
Xu Jie had disliked Mu Sheng for a long time, and he was the one who instigated this matter. He thought that if he couldn't play on the court, how could the uncle team win?
Mu Sheng had no idea that Xu Jie and the others had changed their strategy, and An Nuan didn't know either. When she walked out of the arena and before she could get through to Aunt Li, she heard a loud noise behind her - Mu Sheng was knocked to the ground.
An Nuan: “…”
