806: Chapter 816: Welcoming the Bridal Party!
“Pack your things, you’re getting married!” Li Chuwen’s father said directly.
“Dad…
How can you say sothing like that?” Li Chuwen froze for a mont, then said.
“I’ve already accepted Miao Qing’s proposal, so the two of you should marry as soon as possible.
Besides, you’re not young anymore, it’s ti for you to be wed.
In this Southern Border, there’s no family richer than Miao Qing’s.
So choosing him can’t be wrong!” Li Chuwen’s father said.
“I won’t!” Li Chuwen refused firmly.
“Whether you want to or not, you have to go!” Li Chuwen’s father said.
“You should understand Miao Qing’s status, right?
He is the son of the head of the Miao Family’s main village, and his father is a master of the Gu Art.
Following him will never be wrong!
On top of that, his grandfather is a renowned Gu Master.
In those international cities of yours, a man like him would be a golden husband!
What more could you ask for?”
“But I don’t love Miao Qing!” Li Chuwen was utterly disappointed in her father.
By now, she understood that when her father previously claid her mother had been captured by Miao Qing, it was nothing more than a blatant lie.
“Love?
What does love matter?
Matches are made by matchmakers, and marriages are sanctioned by parents.
You will not defy these traditions!” Li Chuwen’s father said.
At this mont, a voice suddenly rang out.
“I don’t think there was ever such a thing as matchmakers or parental consent.
Those so-called traditions are nothing but nonsense, utterly aningless!”
Tang Zhong stepped forward calmly and spoke.
He couldn’t bear to listen any longer.
How could such parents still exist?
Then again, he thought, this is the Miao Village, entirely populated by Southern Border Tribe mbers.
It was no different than a small backwater town.
When Li Chuwen’s father heard the voice, he froze for a mont before turning around to see Tang Zhong.
His face imdiately darkened, “Who are you?
This is my house.
What right do you have to co in here?”
“Dad, he’s my friend!
How can you talk like that?” Li Chuwen said urgently.
She then looked at Tang Zhong with a deeply apologetic expression.
“I’m so sorry!”
“It’s fine!” Tang Zhong waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing to worry about.
But Li Chuwen’s father wouldn’t let it go.
He started rambling, “I’m telling you, Wenwen, this guy is probably a boyfriend you t in the big City.
I’m telling you right now—break up with him imdiately!
Don’t contact him ever again!”
He then turned to Tang Zhong and said, “Kid, I’m Li Chuwen’s father.
You must like my Wenwen, don’t you?
Let give you so advice—leave Wenwen imdiately.
A city boy like you couldn’t possibly compete with Miao Qing!”
Li Chuwen beca flustered and quickly interjected, “Dad, he’s not my boyfriend!”
Then, she looked back at Tang Zhong with an apologetic expression and said, “I’m really sorry, my father misunderstood!”
But Tang Zhong ignored her apology and instead looked directly at Li Chuwen’s father.
“I am Wenwen’s boyfriend.
Actually, I’m quite curious—just who is this Miao Qing?”
Tang Zhong was well aware that Li Chuwen was Jiang Weiwei’s close friend.
Given the current situation, which was critical for Li Chuwen, there was no way he would stand by and do nothing.
If he didn’t step in, Weiwei would undoubtedly be furious.
Li Chuwen was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Tang Zhong to say sothing like that.
Just as she was about to explain, Tang Zhong stepped in front of her protectively.
Li Chuwen’s father’s face instantly twisted into a mocking smirk.
“I knew it!
Wenwen did find herself a boyfriend outside, no matter how much she denies it.
So, you must be my Wenwen’s boyfriend, right?
Well, it doesn’t matter whether you two truly love each other or not.
As Li Chuwen’s father, I’m warning you—I am putting a stop to this right now.
Wenwen already has a husband lined up, so leave!”
“Let ask you a question,” Tang Zhong said with a sharp gaze directed at Li Chuwen’s father.
Li Chuwen’s father froze.
“Your daughter clearly doesn’t like that man.
So why are you forcing her into the fire pit?
Let ask you—do you even know what kind of fate she’ll face if she marries him?
I know that Miao Qing already has multiple wives!” Tang Zhong said gravely.
He was here to help Li Chuwen.
Despite his frustrations, he still tried to reason with her parents.
“She’s my daughter.
What I do with her is none of your business!” Li Chuwen’s father snapped.
“We’ll marry her off to whoever we please.
And as for you, give up now!”
“She doesn’t want to marry him!” Tang Zhong retorted.
“Even if she doesn’t want to, she must!
There’s no one better than him—he has a powerful father and a legendary grandfather.
Don’t think they’re just rich—they possess abilities beyond anything you city kids could ever dream of!” Li Chuwen’s father said with disdain.
“So what?” Tang Zhong shot back.
He had never encountered soone so deeply entrenched in outdated traditions.
“What do you an, ‘so what’?
Kid, don’t say I didn’t warn you—if you keep pestering Wenwen, you’ll die a horrible death!” Li Chuwen’s father declared.
Tang Zhong had no interest in arguing further.
Instead, he turned to Li Chuwen and asked, “Where can I find this Miao Qing?”
“In the Miao Village,” Li Chuwen replied.
“Take there,” Tang Zhong said.
He intended to confront Miao Qing directly.
“No need!” Li Chuwen’s father interjected.
“Miao Qing should be arriving any mont now.
I already inford him that Wenwen is ho, and he agreed to co imdiately with a proposal team!”
He then looked at Tang Zhong and added, “Kid, you still have ti to leave.
If you go now, we’ll pretend nothing happened.
But once Miao Qing gets here, you won’t have any chance to escape!”
“Perfect!” Tang Zhong said with a smirk upon hearing this.
Li Chuwen’s father was montarily taken aback, bewildered by Tang Zhong’s response.
He had never t soone so audacious.
“Alright, so you’re not leaving?
Fine, you’ll regret it!” Li Chuwen’s father said nacingly.
Just as his words fell, the sound of firecrackers erupted outside, followed by drums and gongs echoing in the distance.
“They’re here!” Li Chuwen’s father exclaid with a pleased smile.
Of course, “they” referred to Miao Qing and his entourage.
He then glanced at Tang Zhong and said, “Kid, if you leave now, all will be forgiven.
Go your own way, and I’ll go mine.
But let tell you this—Miao Qing practices Gu Art.
Do you know what that ans?
It ans he can plant a worm into your body that will gnaw at you from the inside until you die.
And even death will be a slow, torturous process—it’ll be endless pain, making you wish you were never born!”
He figured this would scare Tang Zhong off.
After all, those pampered kids from the City were usually spineless.
They’d tremble in fear upon hearing such a threat.
But this ti, he was dead wrong.
Tang Zhong showed no sign of fear.
Instead, he walked straight to the door of Li Chuwen’s house and said, “Perfect timing!
Now I don’t have to go looking for him.”
For Tang Zhong, the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.
He didn’t intend to waste another mont.
At this ti, at the entrance, the bridal procession was steadily approaching.
