Chapter 155 Unable to Get Married
When her parents said that to her, Su Qinglian, unusually, regained her composure and patiently explained, "Mom and Dad, Xu Lei and I will get married. It's not like we're not getting married. I'm not toying with his feelings. How could you say such a terrible thing?"
Su Qinglian frowned and said, "I do treat him like a younger brother, but that was when we were kids. He's a grown man now, and we've fallen for each other and want to get married. As my parents, shouldn't you be blessing me now that I'm getting married?"
Luo Caixia and Su Jianguo showed no joy on their faces, which Su Qinglian understood. She added, "Moreover, I promise that if I marry Xu Lei, I will definitely take good care of his parents and manage the household well. His parents are not unreasonable people, and I should get along with them."
"You have no shame." Luo Caixia glanced at her, then lowered her head. "Anyway, I'm embarrassed. Before, when rumors were flying everywhere, Xu Lei's mother subtly hinted to me that she planned to marry Xu Lei off to Zhou Xuehua. Wasn't that something she was saying to me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qinglian was extremely agitated. "How can that be? Xu Lei doesn't like Zhou Xuehua. They're not a good match..."
Su Jianguo snorted coldly, and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Yes, yes, you're perfect for me."
Seeing her parents' old-fashioned ways, Su Qinglian was furious and about to explode when Xia Yutong said, "Mom and Dad, since my sister likes Xu Lei and Xu Lei likes her too, as long as they're happy, that's all that matters. Relationships shouldn't be decided by others."
"Afraid that Xu Lei's mother would make a scene..."
Luo Caixia looked helpless. "Why would I disagree? The key question is whether other families would agree?"
This was also what Su Qinglian was most worried about. She quickly said, "If Xu Lei's mother comes to make trouble for you, just say I'm pregnant."
"ah?"
In order to be with Xu Lei, Su Qinglian had no choice but to lie first, "I might be pregnant, but it's not yet the month."
Upon hearing this, Su Jianguo got up to beat her, but Su Qinglian ran into her room and closed her door.
Xiaomi was so hungry that she was munching on a biscuit. Before she could even process what was happening, she heard Su Qinglian yelling from the room, "I just love Xu Lei. I want to be with him. Whether you agree or not, whatever you think, I'm pregnant with Xu Lei's child. You can decide what to do!"
Su Yuanzheng stood up and immediately went outside to call Xu Lei to confirm. The Xu family was also in a mess, and Xu Lei took the call when he had a spare moment.
Su Yuanzheng asked, "My sister is pregnant. How far have you two gotten?"
Xu Lei, whose cerebellum has atrophied, hesitated before replying, "Ah, yes."
"We're brothers, don't joke with me about whether it's true or not."
Yes, yes, yes!
Given the current situation, only Su Qinglian's pregnancy can break the deadlock; human life is the most important matter.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lei felt a great sense of relief. He no longer needed to explain to his parents whether he loved them or not; the older generation wouldn't listen anyway.
Xu Lei went into the house and saw that his parents were both glaring at him, not giving him a single kind look.
Xu's mother snorted coldly, "Absolutely impossible, don't even think about it."
"We don't expect her to marry into a very good family, but she absolutely cannot be a divorcee."
"What's wrong with being remarried, Mom? You're a woman too. Why do women look down on other women?"
This left Xu's mother bewildered. "Don't give me that, it just won't work."
Everyone understands the principles and can talk about them, but suddenly the whip falls on her own body. Her son wants to marry a divorced woman. How can she agree to it?
Xu Lei slowly sat down and said without hesitation, "Qinglian is pregnant. If you don't agree, the child will only be able to take the surname Su..."
With a bang, Mr. and Mrs. Xu stood up. "What did you say?"
"We've been together for a while, but we didn't tell you out of consideration for your feelings. Now that Qinglian is pregnant, the truth can't be hidden anymore. She's going to have the baby. If you don't agree..."
"Smack!"
Xu's mother stood up and slapped him hard across the face.
Xu Lei's face was turned to the side by the slap. He asked, "Didn't you keep urging me to have a grandson? Now that we have a grandson..."
Xu's mother glared at him angrily, "You, you..."
"Leilei, are you being foolish!"
Mr. Xu slammed his hand on the table. “Old woman… what’s wrong with you…”
"Mother……"
Su Qinglian thought that faking a pregnancy would solve everything once and for all. She and Xu Lei were still young and healthy. As long as they got to the point of marriage, she would definitely get pregnant in a few days. It didn't matter...
They were eating outside. Luo Caixia knocked on the door and said, "Come out and eat. Your dad and I won't scold you anymore."
"As long as Xu Lei's parents agree, your dad and I will shamelessly try to negotiate for you."
"Qinglian, now that you're pregnant, you can't go hungry..."
Xia Yutong felt that there was something fishy about the pregnancy. Although she and Su Yuanzheng arrived late, they had been working in the rose garden all the time. Su Qinglian was never idle, and Xu Lei hadn't rested for a single day since he arrived.
If these two are pregnant, they'll need a place to conduct their business...
Ever since Chen Xinya set fire to the rose garden, word has spread that there are surveillance cameras everywhere, so it's impossible for the two of them to get pregnant in the garden...
When Luo Caixia called Su Qinglian to eat, Xia Yutong looked up and glanced at Su Yuanzheng.
"Eat ribs..."
Xia Yutong likes sweet and sour pork ribs, and Su Yuanzheng specially went to the kitchen to add this dish.
You know that, right?
"Um?"
Xia Yutong whispered in his ear, "You know your sister isn't pregnant..."
Su Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, "Shh..."
As a younger brother, of course I hope my sister can be happy. Xu Lei is a good man, and if Su Qinglian can marry him, she will be living in a dream world.
Xiaomi asked, "Uncle and Aunt..."
She deliberately lowered her voice, looking cautious, "Uncle and Aunt, what are you talking about?"
"Qinglian, you can't go hungry while you're pregnant. Come out and eat first."
"Qinglian..."
Su Qinglian then opened the door and came out of the room. Just then, Su Jianguo's phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Su Jianguo tensed up, thinking that the Xu family wanted to invite them over to discuss their relationship.
We'll have to face it sooner or later.
Mustering his courage, Su Jianguo answered the phone, "Hello..."
"ah?"
With everyone watching, Su Jianguo uttered those two words and then put his phone down.
Sensing something was wrong, Su Qinglian became a little nervous. "Dad, whose call was that?"
"Xu Lei's mother was so angry with you that she fainted! Look at the mess you've made!"
Luo Caixia was also a little flustered. "Why all of a sudden..." After saying that, she sighed and said, "Yeah, if this happened to me, I would be furious too. Let's go see what's going on... Let's skip the meal!"
Now that the pregnancy had been revealed, Xu's mother had no reason to object...
Although Luo Caixia and Su Jianguo arrived at the Xu family home that night, they were locked out. However, Xu's mother relented to Xu Lei the next morning.
