Chapter 537: No One Wants, No One Loves
Everyone in the family hopes that he will achieve great things, but Ji Wuwei doesn't want to.
He is content with being ordinary. Is there a lack of talented people in the Zhuang family's previous generation?
Just because he doesn't want to reach the top doesn't mean he's not motivated.
He has three huge burdens on his shoulders: grandfather, mother and uncle. How hard should he work to achieve success?
Is that considered promising?
If he followed their conclusion, he would never be able to achieve half as much as they did even if he worked hard all his life.
The old man took a puff of his cigar and blew out smoke rings:
“The older one won’t let go, and the younger one won’t give in. I still want to ask you, girl, what do you think?”
The old man looked at Huo Yan, who shrank his neck and didn't raise his eyes.
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at Huo Yan, sat closer to her, and took her hand in his.
"Tell Dad what you think, huh?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng tried to hold her hand, but Huo Yan pushed it away and moved it aside. Zhuang Zhoucheng raised his hand to hold her wrist, but heard the old man say immediately:
"Old man, let her talk on her own, don't interfere with her."
Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at his father sideways, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
I think it's ridiculous. Why does he need to interrogate his wife like this?
It's his. Whether he lives or dies, it will only be his in this life.
Could it be possible to change just because of these few words?
He kept his composure, suppressed his emotions, and withdrew his palm.
Ji Wuwei also looked at Huo Yan, his face full of nervous anticipation, and he firmly believed in his heart that she loved him. Now that someone was backing them up, she would definitely choose him!
Huo Yan finally raised his eyes slowly, looked at the old man, and asked in a low voice:
"Can I choose neither? I don't like Ji Wuwei, nor do I want to marry Zhuang Zhoucheng. I don't like anyone. I also feel it's ridiculous to be caught up in such an entanglement. It's my fault. I don't quite understand matters of the heart, but I can't say it has nothing to do with me. It's my fault. Master Zhuang, I never thought about entering your family. Since you can make the decision, can I ask you to give me back my freedom?"
Huo Yan slowly lowered her head, sniffed, and turned to Zhuang Zhoucheng, wanting to look at him and say it, but his eyes made it impossible for her to look directly at him.
"I'm sorry, Zhuang Zhoucheng, I can't accept the idea of getting married. Please don't force me anymore..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan with a gloomy face, and gently held her hand with his big palm:
"Huo Yan, ask your heart, do you reject this marriage?"
"I reject it!"
Huo Yan shook off his hand, stood up, and stepped aside holding the pillow:
"Stop interfering with my thoughts, stop forcing me..."
Ji Wuwei immediately stood up and walked over:
"Yan Yan, I..."
"Don't come near me either. I won't choose any of you. I'm just a poor girl, I can't afford you. I've never dreamed of rising to fame and fortune. I know this sounds ridiculous to you, but please respect my wishes."
Huo Yan had already withdrawn from the conversation distance and stood far away, as if she was really just a passerby.
"Yan Yan, you don't love your uncle, but don't you love me?" Ji Wuwei asked bitterly.
"do not love!"
"You are lying!"
Ji Wuwei shouted: "If you don't love me, why did you elope with me?"
elopement?
The old man took all of this to heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yan changed.
Huo Yan was also frightened by Ji Wuwei's words and was a little panicked. This was equivalent to tearing off her ugliest side and exposing it to everyone.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's face darkened and he immediately interrupted:
"Ji Wuwei, you're a man in your twenties, and you still think you're a child? What do you intend by saying such irresponsible things? Huo Yan went on a trip with her classmates at the end of the semester, and I approved it. You learned that she was going out with the intention of kidnapping, but fortunately, my heart was on my side, and you didn't succeed. How can you say you eloped?"
You ignorant beast!
Does he know how important a woman's reputation is?
He's making such a loud announcement, does he think he hasn't made enough noise today?
Zhuang Zhoucheng's eyes almost spitted fire as he looked at Ji Wuwei.
The old man didn't say anything. This matter was even more complicated than the initial commotion.
The uncle-nephew conflict hadn't been resolved, and the old man was having problems with his wife. It was true that even a judge couldn't settle family disputes, and his old bones were really starting to feel like they were running out of energy.
"Everyone, calm down! Today's matter ends here. I will pretend that what happened today never happened..."
"Grandpa!"
Ji Wuwei didn't care about etiquette and interrupted the old man directly:
"I want Huo Yan!"
"You want her, but does that girl want you?"
The old man got angry and no one was quiet!
If this had happened twenty years ago, he would have taken a stick and beaten everyone without exception, and after he had beaten them into submission, he would have dealt with them later.
How could it be as difficult as today when we can’t hit or scold people and can only do as the time demands?
"She loves me...Yan Yan, hurry up and tell her that she loves me." Ji Wuwei said hurriedly.
Zhuang Zhoucheng also turned his gaze over and cast a gloomy look on her face.
