The Li Family held a eting.
Li Zhiyuan asked Li Jingming to also attend the eting.
Mainly wanting to hear his opinion.
Zhang Fengfeng grabbed Li Jingming and directly asked, "Jingming, tell Granny the truth, what do you think about the girl? If you really want to marry her, then you must treat her better in the future, and you can’t have any involvent with Lu Yi. If you can do these, then we’ll proceed with the marriage. But if you can’t, just reject her early. Our Li Family has had enough troubles with your fourth uncle, I’ve been upset about it, and if you follow in his footsteps, I will break your legs."
Li Jingming thought for a while and then solemnly promised, "Granny, I feel pretty good about Lu ng. We got along well when we were in middle school. I can accept marrying her, and I promise you I will treat her well in the future, as long as she doesn’t behave like Wang Baozhu, I definitely won’t let her down."
Hearing Li Jingming’s statent, Li Zhiyuan clapped his hands and decided on the matter, "Alright, that’s settled then."
At this mont, Anning was also assigned a task.
She was talking with Lu ng.
Anning, with a smile on her face, said, "This is tough for you."
Lu ng shook her head, "I’m willing."
Anning saw the love for Li Jingming in her eyes, and compared to Lu Yi, she liked Lu ng more.
After all, Lu ng was doing this because she loved Li Jingming deeply.
Although Lu Yi also liked Li Jingming, she was more attracted to the backing of the Li family, and, she was more manipulative towards Li Jingming.
"Our family sees it this way," Anning said softly, holding Lu ng’s hands, "The matter between Jingming and Lu Yi was settled a long ti ago, and although what Lu Yi’s family has done recently is sowhat unacceptable, we can’t easily break the engagent. Tomorrow morning, our family will send soone to check with Lu Yi’s family to see if they still want this marriage. If they decide against it, we will send a car directly to your ho. Would you be willing?"
This matter was truly unfair to Lu ng.
Tomorrow, Lu ng had to get up early to dress up in a bridal gown, but it was very likely that she wouldn’t beco a bride and would beco a joke.
If Lu Yi’s family doesn’t cause more trouble, letting Lu Yi marry smoothly, the Li family would also not want to provide a handle to others, and would marry Lu Yi as agreed.
In that case, everything Lu ng did would be in vain.
Lu ng thought about it, then nodded firmly, "I’m willing. By agreeing, there’s a fifty percent chance of marrying Jingming. If I don’t agree, there’s no chance at all. Aunt, I’ve liked Jingming since middle school. I... want to try for myself, even if I fail in the end, I won’t regret it."
This girl was truly bold and clear about what she wanted, willing to strive for it.
Anning smiled, "Don’t worry, we won’t make it too difficult for you. If tomorrow Jingming really can’t marry you, our family will help you find a job in the Provincial City, so you won’t have to stay in the village and face gossip."
Anning had planned it long ago, as she was going to build a market, especially a supermarket, which would need many service personnel. Lu ng, being beautiful and smart, could be well-trained at that ti.
Lu ng smiled, "I’m not afraid of people’s scorn, and this is my own decision. If it doesn’t work out, don’t feel sorry for . If I really can’t handle the village gossip, I’ll find a job in the city myself. I have hands and feet, and I’m not stupider than others, I can always make a living."
This girl was truly strong.
Anning grew more and more appreciative of Lu ng.
"Alright, it’s decided then."
She turned around and handed a red dress to Lu ng.
This dress, however, was still ordered by Anning from a store in the county, which had cost a good sum of money.
"Try it on, if it doesn’t fit I’ll alter it imdiately."
Lu ng tried on the dress, and except for the waist being a bit loose, it indeed fit her quite well.
Anning asked her to take it off and then swiftly sewed, and before long, she had altered the dress: "Alright, take the dress, I’ll drive you ho."
Lu ng actually wanted Li Jingming to take her back.
But Anning patted her shoulder: "Do you still want to ride the motorcycle? It’s already dark now, and it’s quite chilly outside. What if you catch a cold and can’t be a beautiful bride tomorrow?"
Lu ng thought for a mont and then dismissed the idea of letting Li Jingming take her ho.
Anning chuckled secretly.
Even this young girl could miscalculate sotis.
Couldn’t she think, since there’s a car, she could totally let Li Jingming drive her ho? Probably the young girl cared too much about Li Jingming. Anything involving Li Jingming seed to lower her IQ.
Anning started the car and took Lu ng to her ho.
She didn’t let Lu ng go ho alone but followed her into the house.
Afterward, Anning sent Lu ng out and had a long conversation with Lu ng’s parents.
Lu ng’s parents were both honest and simple, but when they heard Anning ntion Lu ng’s plans, the couple seed particularly worried and anxious.
They actually wanted to object.
But thinking about their daughter’s decision, they didn’t know how to oppose it.
Lu ng’s mother knew about her liking Li Jingming, and her father had also found out recently.
The couple knew that Lu ng had liked Li Jingming for many years, had rejected many matchmakings because of him, and now at her age, she still didn’t want to get married, if they refused this matter, Lu ng might really remain unmarried all her life.
But if they agreed, what if Lu ng couldn’t marry Li Jingming tomorrow?
The couple dared not even think about it.
Anning understood their concerns: "Tomorrow, keep it quiet, and don’t hire soone to do Lu ng’s makeup, just act as if nothing has happened. If it’s confird tomorrow that Lu Yi won’t get married, I will drive over here. I’ll bring everything, jewelry, headpieces, makeup. I’ll apply the makeup myself, ensuring she becos the most beautiful bride. What do you think?"
Lu ng’s father, Lu Jun, shook his head: "But...it’s not just about the makeup. If, if Lu ng is to get married tomorrow, our family needs to host a banquet. We, we aren’t prepared, and it’s too late to prepare now."
Anning thought for a mont, then called Li Zhiyuan to ask his opinion.
Li Zhiyuan was really frustrated with Lu Yi’s family. Hearing Lu Jun’s concerns, he imdiately spoke loudly: "If they agree, that’s great. If it’s confird tomorrow, leave the banquet to . I’ll call the chefs and waitstaff from several other restaurants in the family and ask them all to co help. I’ll take care of the als and drinks."
He was really impassioned, just thinking about winning back so face, no matter what, he had to smooth things over.
Anning relayed Li Zhiyuan’s words to Lu Jun.
Lu Jun thought for a while and then gritted his teeth: "Well, okay then."
After Anning left, Lu ngniang twisted Lu Jun’s arm: "You and your daughter, really, have no sha."
Lu ngniang was thinking about how their family and Lu Yi’s family were from the sa village. If Lu ng indeed marries into the Li family tomorrow, Lu Yi’s family would surely co to make trouble, and who knows what kind of rumors the people in the village would spread.
