When she returned home and entered the living room, she was greeted by a slap in the face by her father: "You are really capable. How could I have a shameless daughter like you?" Zhai Hongtao cursed angrily.
Zhai Yuyuan's eyes widened with tears, and she looked at Zhai Hongtao in disbelief: "You, you..."
She turned around and wanted to run out the door, but was stopped by her second brother Zhai Yuquan who was standing at the door: "I said, if you dare to provoke Lu Yichen again, I will not recognize you as my sister. I can't afford to lose face.
Today I am also officially stating that I cannot recognize you as my sister. I don’t have a sister as shameless as you.” After cursing, he turned and left the yard, disappearing at the gate.
The Zhai family did not expect Zhai Yuquan to explode and say such cruel words.
Mr. Zhai looked at his son and said, "Contact the Ji family and get their marriage on schedule as soon as possible. The Zhai family must not keep her any longer."
When Zhai Yuyuan heard this, she panicked: "Grandpa, you can't do this. I don't like Ji Wei. What era is it now? You still want to arrange my marriage. Aren't you afraid of being pushed too far? I'll sue you."
This made the old man laugh: "Okay, I'll give you two choices. One is to listen to your family and marry Ji Wei and live a good life. You know that Ji Wei has liked you since childhood and will definitely treat you well.
One option is to sever ties with the Zhai family. Get out of the Zhai family, fend for yourself, and have nothing to do with the Zhai family anymore. It’s your choice.”
Zhai Yuyuan looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, you loved me so much before, were you just pretending?"
Then the voice rose more than one degree: "Why do you have to force me?"
Grandpa Zhai looked at his granddaughter whom he had spoiled since she was a child and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After rubbing his brows to make himself less uncomfortable, he looked at his son and said, "You can handle this matter. After all, I am a grandfather of a different generation, so I don't want you to complain."
After saying that, he went back to his room.
Zhai Hongtao knew that his father might be hurt by his daughter's words, and there was guilt in his eyes.
He knew why his father wanted Yuyuan to marry into the Ji family as soon as possible. First, the Ji family was far away in the south, and the distance would give Yuyuan no chance to think about it. Second, the Ji family was considered a big family in the south, and Yuyuan was Ji Wei's favorite since childhood, so he would be able to protect her no matter what happened.
Zhai Hongtao called his wife back and explained the pros and cons of the matter. Seeing his eldest son's gloomy face, he knew that he felt that his sister had brought shame on him. He and Lu Yichen were from a brother unit and met often. His sister's behavior made him ashamed.
Jiao Haifang did not expect that her daughter would sneak out again today, and she waited at the police station for a whole morning and noon, only to be notified that her family was taking her away.
She was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly and her hands were shaking with anger. If the neighbors knew about this, how would the Zhai family live? She didn't dare to think about it.
Zhai Hongtao asked his wife to take their daughter away. He called the Ji family directly and mentioned Ji Wei and his daughter's marriage in a tactful way. He hung up the phone after receiving a reply from the other side.
They thought that they were right to do so. Given their daughter's current situation, no matter who she married, she would be separated from her husband and sent back in a few days. Only Ji Wei, who had liked her since childhood, could unconditionally tolerate and protect her.
But in the end, it is their Zhai family who is sorry for Ji Wei and the Ji family. They don’t know whether Ji Wei will blame them for being selfish when he finds out in the future.
******** Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for Luo Xuyuan and his family to return home. Luo Qiao hugged her grandmother and aunt with some reluctance and acted coquettishly, and also told them to come and stay for a while next summer, and then they would see a different Boston.
During this period, I made a lot of lobster jerky, which tasted pretty good. I plan to take it back for my family to try. After all, the lobsters here are really cheap.
They also brought some maple syrup, but due to restrictions, they were not able to bring too much. Luo Qiao also specially ordered small bottles in advance, all of which were 100ML. Each person brought four small bottles and asked them to check them in directly at the airport.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Luo Qiao didn't make a cream cake as she was afraid that it wouldn't pass security check, so she made a fruit cake directly. Anyway, it was cold and it wouldn't take too long, so the taste shouldn't be a problem. Mainly, she had promised Yanyan and Yueyue before and didn't want to disappoint them.
Yanyan and Yueyue knew that their great-grandma, great-grandfather, aunt, uncle, aunt and little cousin were leaving. They cried themselves to sleep yesterday and were still asleep when everyone left.
Luo Qiao reluctantly said goodbye to everyone at the gate and watched them leave. Looking at the empty house, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
