"Qingya, your idea is good," Wu Cuihua's worried face disappeared, and her heart finally settled down. "Tell Chen Feng about this, so that he won't feel sad."
"No need. To be absolutely sure, we must not tell anyone about this, lest we cause any unforeseen complications."
"No, Qing'er, what if Chen Feng doesn't know the truth and gets scared when he sees me looking so ugly, and then doesn't want to marry me anymore?"
"You're overthinking it. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If my brother really likes you, he won't care what you become." Chen Qingqing still believed in Chen Feng's character and felt that he wasn't the kind of heartless and ungrateful man.
Wu Cuihua felt that this was also a good opportunity to test Chen Feng. If he really judged people by their appearance, then there was no need for him to linger in the mortal world. He might as well enter a Buddhist monastery and find a moment of peace.
She nodded gently. "Qing girl, you're right. If Chen Feng sees how ugly I am and really dislikes me, it means he also judges people by their appearance and is not someone you can entrust your life to. Such a person is not a good match, so it's better not to get married!"
Chen Qingqing looked at Wu Cuihua with great admiration. Very good, she is a girl with her own opinions and not a love-struck fool. If her brother can pass the test, he will truly have married her a good sister-in-law.
“Sister Cuihua, you’re right to think that way. I sincerely hope you can achieve your wish.”
"Qing girl, no matter what the outcome, I want to thank you."
"No need to thank me. You should trust your own judgment. My older brother won't let you down."
"Yes, I believe in Brother Chen Feng."
The two chatted for a while longer before Wu Cuihua got up to take her leave.
Back home, she couldn't wait to take the packet of "alopecia areata" medicine.
At first there was no reaction, but on the third day, clumps of her hair started falling out...
This greatly worried Wu Shiren. The wedding date agreed upon with Wang Qizhang's family was getting closer and closer, but his daughter had contracted a strange illness. What should he do?
He was extremely worried and sought medical help everywhere.
Those self-proclaimed highly skilled doctors tried everything, including unorthodox remedies and secret prescriptions, but nothing worked.
My daughter's hair kept falling out in clumps, and eventually she became completely bald.
Wu Cuihua knew perfectly well what was going on, but in order to make the charade real, she pretended to be heartbroken, crying and wailing all day long, as if she were about to die...
Wu Shiren was so anxious that he paced back and forth, but there was nothing he could do.
At this critical juncture, Wang Qizhang arrived at the Wu family with his son, Wang Tianba.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Qizhang went straight to the point about his purpose.
"Manager Wu, I've come here today for no other reason than my son is a little anxious and would like to see Miss Cuihua. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiren's heart sank. Now that his daughter had contracted a strange illness, if they found out she was bald, the marriage would be off.
We must find an excuse to get through this. As long as we can successfully marry our daughter into the Wang family on the appointed day, it will be impossible for the Wang family to back out of the engagement.
Even if the daughter is disliked, as the legal wife, she certainly wouldn't be able to endure hardship, and it wouldn't matter if she couldn't bear any children; she could raise the concubine's children under her care...
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, feigning composure.
"Old Master Wang is joking. The two families are not yet married, how can they meet? That would be unlucky. Besides, the wedding date is approaching, it's not too late to wait until the wedding night."
Wang Qizhang's visit was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had long heard rumors that Wu Shiren's daughter had contracted a strange illness that caused all the hair on her body to fall out.
He didn't believe it at first, but his son took it to heart.
He didn't want his son to marry a bald woman, so he made a special trip to visit her to see for himself.
"What are you saying, Manager Wu? The two children met just a few days ago, why would we care about this one time?"
“That’s right. As the saying goes, there are no taboos. Hurry up and call Cuihua out so I can take a good look at her and have a heart-to-heart talk with her,” Wang Tianba chimed in.
Wang Tianba was a notorious playboy. Influenced by his father, he never learned anything good from a young age.
He frequented brothels as soon as he was old enough to understand human affairs, and who knows how many beautiful women he had slept with and how many respectable women he had seduced.
He had long coveted Wu Cuihua's beauty, and in order to get close to her, he used to spend all his time at the Qingshui Restaurant.
Ever since Wu Cuihua stopped helping to manage the restaurant business, he would loiter around the Wu family's house every few days, fantasizing about getting a moment of pleasure.
But each time he was met with cold indifference, he refused to give up and begged his father to propose marriage to the Wu family.
To his surprise, Wu Shih-jen readily agreed.
When he thought about how he was about to get the beauty he had been longing for and dreaming of,
My mind was restless, like it was infested with weeds and my buttocks were infested with maggots. I couldn't sit still for a moment and couldn't wait to accomplish something.
He felt like each day was an eternity. Finally, the wedding day was almost here, when he heard rumors circulating in the streets and alleys...
They said Wu Cuihua was seriously ill, had lost all the hair on her head, and that consulting countless famous doctors had all been to no avail.
Wang Tianba grimaced as he listened. How could a woman be attractive without hair?
If you actually marry her and she shines brightly at night when the lights are off, like you're holding a luminous pearl, what kind of nonsense is that?
To verify the truth of the rumors, he pestered his father to come to the Wu family home to see for himself...
Hearing their words, Wu Shiren smiled and waved his hand, "Young Master Wang, your timing is truly unfortunate. My daughter is not feeling well today and is not fit to receive guests. You two should wait until your wedding night to express your feelings to each other!"
Wang Tianba frowned and, not wanting to beat around the bush, asked directly, "I heard that Cuihua has contracted a strange illness and lost her hair. Is that true?"
Wu Shih-ren was taken aback at first, but quickly regained his composure. He chuckled lightly, adopting an indifferent expression.
"Oh dear, Young Master Wang, where did you hear such a rumor? It's completely unfounded and utter nonsense!"
He still clings to a sliver of hope. His daughter is already in such a state that anyone who sees her would turn away. As long as he denies it outright, once the deed is done and the deed is done, the Wang family won't be able to back out of the marriage even if they want to.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianba immediately beamed with joy. "I knew it! These are all baseless rumors. As long as my precious little darling is alright, I'm relieved."
"That's right, Young Master Wang, just go home and wait for your wedding night. I guarantee you'll be overjoyed and your eyes will light up."
