Even if she had other ideas, Jiang Yi would not allow it.
The person he had been waiting for for nearly ten years, coupled with this fate, meant that their relationship was already destined.
He had figured it out. He didn't want to wait another ten years. If he didn't have her in his grasp, anything could happen. The best way was to establish a formal relationship.
"How is this possible?" Hua Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but she also felt that this was not bad.
She secretly despised herself, never expecting that she also had the potential to be a scumbag.
Jiang Yi seemed relieved. "Then when do you think I should go and pay a visit?"
Hua Xiangyun looked up at him, puzzled. "Why is this a door-to-door visit? Even if you're dating, shouldn't there be a process?"
Jiang Yi reached out and patted her head. "Dating someone without the intention of marriage is just playing around. Don't you want me to be burdened with such a label?"
Hua Xiangyun, "...How did I end up being accused of a crime?"
You told everyone you had a boyfriend, that's enough, and I didn't deny it either!
This is happening too fast. As soon as Jiang Yi visits, the neighbors on both sides know, and soon the whole county knows.
She could imagine that what followed would be a barrage of pressure to get married, not from her family, but from unrelated relatives and friends.
“Then next time someone asks me about my partner, I’ll just say it’s you,” Jiang Yi said, taking a step back. “You can’t just reject that too, can you?”
Hua Xiangyun, "..."
"Am I really that unsightly?" Jiang Yi touched his face. "This face should be passable, right?"
Hua Xiangyun, "I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Yi nodded. "Then I understand what you mean."
Hua Xiangyun, “…” I don’t even know what I mean myself… What do you know?
...
Hua Xiangyun quickly understood the meaning behind Jiang Yi's words; she had been tricked again.
She had just returned home from school that day, and as soon as she entered the alley, she noticed several old women staring at her.
She touched the scarf on her face; if the weather got any warmer, it wouldn't be able to cover it up anymore. But it's been so long, it's understandable that the wound has healed.
She just washed the scarf, so it shouldn't be dusty. What are these people curious about?
"Xiangyun, I heard you're dating Jiang Yi?" The old lady who spoke, Hua Xiangyun, didn't know his name, only that he lived at the end of the street.
"Sure enough, Tian Guihua is a woman who doesn't make a sound until she does, and then she makes a big splash. She seemed so quiet, but she actually managed to take Jiang Yi back as her granddaughter. She's really thrilled now." The person next to her said sourly, "Before, she seemed so nonchalant, and we thought she was so high and mighty. Turns out she was waiting for us to pull out all the stops."
"By the way, Hua Xiangyun, how did you end up dating Jiang Yi? Tell my wife so that my useless girls can learn from you."
Hua Xiangyun, “…” The malice in those words was obvious, but these were several old ladies. If she argued with them, it would never end.
"It's better for me to ask you this question than for several old ladies to ask Xiangyun," Jiang Yi said, stopping his bicycle next to Hua Xiangyun.
"Oh, Director Jiang, you're even riding a bicycle now." Several old ladies stared intently at his bicycle; the wheels were spotless, so it must have been newly purchased.
Now, their hearts ached even more. Jiang Yi was even richer than they had imagined, and probably had a lot of spare money.
The men looked at Hua Xiangyun with even more hostility. How did she manage to hook up with Jiang Yi when she always looked so shameful?
"Hey Hua girl, did you hurt your head last time? You're always wearing a mask, is it because Jiang Yi hasn't seen your real face yet?"
“Your fifth grandmother is right. You’ve been wearing this scarf for quite a while now. We old folks don’t have good memories. Should we take it off so we can see it? Otherwise, we won’t recognize you on the street anymore.”
“Jiang Yi, you haven’t been back long. Did you know that this girl bumped her head and bled a lot? The wound was so big,” Grandma Wu gestured with her hand, “it was almost the size of Hua Xiangyun’s small face. She’s been covering it up all day and doesn’t dare to see anyone. Could she be disfigured?”
"..." Hua Xiangyun didn't want to pay attention to these people, after all, the elders were quite senior in this area, but now she couldn't help herself, "Grandmas, you must live by the sea, it's just a pity that we are ignorant and don't know what the sea looks like."
This irrelevant answer stunned the elderly women, who stared at each other, completely bewildered.
By the time they came to their senses, Jiang Yi had already disappeared into the alleyway, leading his bicycle alongside Hua Xiangyun.
The young people watching the commotion from the back couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I know that, they live by the sea, so they're a bit nosy..."
Many people suppressed their laughter as they passed by the elderly women.
These old ladies love to gossip all the time; who hasn't suffered at their hands?
Hua Xiangyun did a great job this time. Look at the silly looks on those old ladies' faces. I should give her a good talking to my family when I get back.
However, they were all wondering in their hearts that Hua Xiangyun had been inseparable from them these past few days, so when did she start dating Jiang Yi?
Some people were curious, while others were practically spitting fire in their eyes; Zhou Xiaolan was one of them.
Is Jiang Yi blind? She has seen Hua Xiangyun's wound before. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Fifth Grandmother and the others described, the opening was still quite large. Even a knife cut on her hand would leave a mark, let alone such a big wound on her forehead.
Jiang Yi must not have seen Hua Xiangyun's true face since she was disfigured, otherwise why would he choose her?
However, it's already springtime, not as cold as winter, so why is Hua Xiangyun still keeping her head wrapped up tightly?
He looks like he's really disfigured and doesn't dare to see anyone.
The things her family gave away as compensation before must have had some value.
Tian Guihua and Hua Guangzong were also sitting in the courtyard. Ever since they went out in the morning and heard the news, they had been restless, waiting for Xiao Guai to come back.
"Why hasn't the child come home yet?" Tian Guihua glanced at the gate again. It wasn't that she didn't want to wait outside the compound gate, but some people were too annoying, constantly asking her questions whenever they caught her.
She's still completely confused and is waiting for Xiangyun to come back and explain to them.
Hua Guangzong wondered, "Could it be that they were stopped by those old women at the gate?"
Tian Guihua immediately walked outside, saying, "How could I have forgotten about this? I'll go take a look."
Just as she was leaving the hospital, she ran into Tian Xiaomei, who said in a sarcastic tone, "Aunt Hua, congratulations on getting such a good grandson-in-law."
Tian Guihua didn't want to pay attention to her, but this woman had no good intentions and became more and more aggressive the more she paid attention to her.
Tian Xiaomei, however, was unwilling to leave like that and followed behind her, saying, "Now the whole compound is very curious about how your Hua Xiangyun managed to hook up with Jiang Yi?"
