Free Web NovelChapter 494: Chapter 490: Underestimated Her
"You can’t."
The moment Chen Xiumin heard Xu Wenwan say she wanted to visit often after getting married, her face went cold. The tender mother-daughter scene from just a moment ago vanished without a trace.
A sarcastic look appeared on Xu Wenwan’s face.
’This is how they show they care? Heh, so hypocritical.’
’Since these people are giving up on me now, I’ll definitely have nothing to do with them when I make it big one day.’
Xu Wenwan straightened her back. She was waiting for the day they would all have to eat their words.
It wasn’t that Chen Xiumin truly forbade Xu Wenwan from coming back; she just couldn’t let her come back *all the time*. If she kept hanging around the house, this family would fall apart sooner or later.
"Anyway, from now on, you will live a good life with Yun Hao. You are forbidden from having any more ideas about Leng Yuan."
If it weren’t for Xu Wenwan’s interest in Leng Yuan, they wouldn’t have married her off so quickly.
Xu Wenwan couldn’t be bothered to explain herself on this matter anymore.
’It’s not like I actually like Leng Yuan. I’m just after his fortune. A pity only I know this—how could these ordinary people possibly understand!’
Met with silence, Chen Xiumin frowned, her tone turning stern. "Did you hear me? You are not to go looking for Leng Yuan again, or I’ll beat you every time I see you do it."
"I know," Xu Wenwan replied reluctantly, afraid of a beating.
’These old-fashioned people! All I did was talk to Leng Yuan for a bit. I didn’t do anything else. Is there really a need to get so worked up?!’
Another half hour passed before Yun Hao walked in, pushing a bicycle decorated with a big red flower on its handlebars.
When the two brothers, Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan, saw Yun Hao walk in, they let out a sigh of relief. They exchanged a look, knowing that Xu Wenwan would definitely be getting married today.
Thinking that someone was finally taking this huge troublemaker off their hands, the two brothers, Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan, looked at Yun Hao with newfound warmth.
"Yun Hao, you’re finally here."
’He could hardly wait any longer.’
One of them greeted Yun Hao while the other went inside to inform their parents.
Village Chief Xu and Chen Xiumin also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been terrified that Yun Hao might suddenly back out. Now that he had arrived, they could finally relax.
When the two of them came out of the room, they saw a huge crowd of people behind Yun Hao.
The smile on Chen Xiumin’s face froze for a second. ’What’s going on? Why are there so many people?’
It was snowing in thick flakes today. In no time at all, the courtyard they had just swept this morning was already ankle-deep, a testament to how heavily it was snowing. She had thought no one would come to watch, but she never expected such a crowd.
Although a wedding was always the livelier the better, with such terrible weather and so many people outside, Chen Xiumin couldn’t shake a bad feeling.
"Old man, you don’t think something will happen, do you?"
Village Chief Xu was the calmer of the two. "What could happen? It’s fine, don’t worry."
’The worst that can happen is we become a laughingstock for everyone.’
’Our family is already the subject of enough gossip. One more or one less story won’t make a difference.’
He didn’t say these last words out loud, afraid his wife would beat him.
"Yun Hao, you’re here! Come on in!"
Chen Xiumin stepped forward with a smile, and Yun Hao smiled back. "I’m here to pick up Wen Wan. Where is she?"
’He had it all figured out. He just wanted to show Gu Jiaojiao that he could give her a kind of happiness that Leng Yuan never could.’
At that very moment, Gu Jiaojiao, the object of Yun Hao’s thoughts, was just waking up.
The first thing she saw upon waking was her man’s divinely handsome face, and she couldn’t help but be smitten all over again.
Sitting up on the kang, she propped her chin on her hands on the small table, staring at him without blinking.
The man sighed helplessly and brought her some snacks to eat.
"You’re practically drooling. Do you like my face that much?"
Gu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him.
"Nonsense. Besides your face, you also have a great body. For example, your hands, your eight-pack abs... and a whole lot of other things. Your face is just one part of the package."
’How could I be so shallow as to only crave one thing? He was underestimating me.’
