"Uncle, I’ve already heard from Auntie what you want to tell , so there’s no need to say it again. I will not give up on Lingling, nor will I get married. The fifty thousand yuan I owe you, I will definitely pay it back within this year," Jiang Miaoyan said after hesitating for a mont.
As soon as she spoke, the middle-aged man was imdiately embarrassed.
His expression quickly changed from proud and confident to serious again.
"Miaoyan, what are you saying? I took a long ti to arrange this marriage for you, and you’re refusing without even seeing it?" The middle-aged man still maintained a relatively nice tone, but his expression turned sowhat unsightly.
But Jiang Miaoyan remained resolute.
She had long decided that she belonged to Chen Yang and wouldn’t consider these issues anymore.
"Uncle, there’s really no need. I know what I’m doing," Jiang Miaoyan said again.
Jiang Miaoyan’s repeated refusal completely angered the middle-aged man.
He imdiately beca furious.
"Jiang Miaoyan! Do I an nothing to you as your uncle? You must listen to today, stay here, if you dare to leave, I’ll break your legs!" The middle-aged man thundered angrily.
Auntie, seeing her husband getting angry, instead of smoothing things over, added fuel to the fire.
"Miaoyan, you’re so unreasonable. Your uncle and I are doing this for your own good, can’t you understand? What good can co from being with that guy? Even if he’s a minor boss, he’s not a match for you with your looks. Listen to Auntie, stay here."
Auntie spoke, mocking Jiang Miaoyan while also ridiculing Chen Yang.
Even though Jiang Miaoyan hadn’t ntioned Chen Yang as her boyfriend since entering, Auntie had assud so.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man also beca even angrier.
"You little punk, you’re really eyeing Miaoyan? How much do you own anyway? What makes you think you’re good enough for Miaoyan?" The middle-aged man, upon hearing that Chen Yang was Jiang Miaoyan’s boyfriend, imdiately retargeted his anger at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang and Jiang Miaoyan had already reached that kind of relationship.
Now that it was acknowledged, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t deny it on purpose.
"Whover Miaoyan wants to be with has nothing to do with how much wealth they have. Even if it did, what does it have to do with you? Are you Miaoyan’s father?" The middle-aged man spoke rudely, and Chen Yang hadn’t planned on being polite either, directly confronting him.
"Of course it has to do with !" the middle-aged man imdiately said, "Miaoyan has no parents, as her uncle, I’m her guardian, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
"Guardian? I don’t know much about your family; Miaoyan has hardly ever ntioned you to . But seeing you living so well while Miaoyan is living so miserably, you don’t seem like such a great uncle and aunt, do you?"
"Saying this now, don’t you feel ashad?"
About the middle-aged man’s family, Chen Yang really didn’t know much, but from many details,
Certainly, Chen Yang could see a lot.
His remarks hit a nerve with the middle-aged man.
He imdiately flew into a rage, pointing at Chen Yang and shouting.
"What the hell are you talking about! Why should I be ashad! As her uncle, haven’t I helped her enough? Didn’t I lend her money? Didn’t I help her?" The middle-aged man roared angrily, assuming a stance as if about to get physical.
The situation at the scene suddenly beca tense.
The aunt, hearing this, also beca anxious and expressed her dissatisfaction, "We’ve helped enough, so don’t speak irresponsibly. When she needed money, we not only bought this set of her house but also lent her fifty thousand yuan, what more do you want?"
Auntie said angrily, her hands on her hips.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Miaoyan hurriedly stepped in to diate.
"Uncle, Auntie, stop arguing. Lingling and I both know how you’ve been to us; no need to emphasize it. I’ll pay back the money I owe you! Let’s just leave it at that!" Jiang Miaoyan said.
"Fine, fine, very good, you’ve really grown wings, daring to side with outsiders!" The middle-aged man was furious when he heard Jiang Miaoyan’s words, pointing at her, repeating ’fine’ several tis.
"So you won’t listen to us, huh? Well, alright, you can leave today, we won’t stop you; you just need to pay back the money you owe us, that’s all. From then on, we have nothing to do with each other, agreed?"
The aunt, also angry, stood by adding words about severing ties.
In reality, Jiang Miaoyan wasn’t troubled by this.
She wasn’t ungrateful.
From the mont she entered, despite the aunt and uncle’s excessive behavior, it was broadly perceivable that they ant well for her.
Yet, Jiang Miaoyan was quite aware that these were surface-level actions, fundantally revealing their true feelings towards her and her sister.
They both knew it well.
So, hearing the talk of cutting ties didn’t trouble her.
What troubled her was, she currently didn’t have that much money.
"Uncle, Auntie, I can repay the money, but could you give so ti? I’ll surely pay it off by the end of the year," Jiang Miaoyan said.
"No way! Since you’ve hardened your wings, who knows if you’ll skip town; this money must be given now. Later, I won’t want to deal with you two sisters’ affairs anymore." Auntie resolutely refused, insisting on imdiate repaynt.
"Right, you either pay now or you stay, and we’ll talk properly about the marriage we arranged for you; there’s no third option," the middle-aged man added from the side.
Hearing this, Jiang Miaoyan lowered her head in silence.
She couldn’t pay that money right now.
And standing by the side, Chen Yang finally figured it out.
It turned out the uncle and aunt had been wanting Jiang Miaoyan to get married, just for that fifty thousand yuan.
Afraid that Jiang Miaoyan couldn’t repay it, they hurried her into marriage.
Chen Yang suspected it might be more than just the fifty thousand yuan.
From the look of the young man they brought back, it seed his family was well-off.
If Jiang Miaoyan followed their plan and got with that young man, besides helping her repay the fifty thousand,
there might also be a substantial dowry.
Otherwise, why would these two beco so angry and say such decisive words?
"Miaoyan! Uncle is doing this for your own good. Listen to ; I won’t steer you wrong!"
The middle-aged man, seeing Jiang Miaoyan couldn’t pay and had lowered her head, began a soft appeal again imdiately.
Jiang Miaoyan only kept her head down, unmoved.
"Uncle, I’m not getting married, and the fifty thousand I owe you, I’ll pay back as soon as possible, but I don’t have that much on now," Jiang Miaoyan said.
Seeing Jiang Miaoyan not budging, the middle-aged man grew furious again.
"You’re like a rock in the outhouse, both stinky and hard! Since it’s like this, there’s nothing more to say. Fifty thousand, pay it and you can go; otherwise, you won’t leave today!" Seeing Jiang Miaoyan unmoved by words, the middle-aged man had no more patience.
He laid down the terms directly.
Pay up and she can leave, otherwise, she wouldn’t be allowed to leave.
