Chapter 1414: Chapter 1391: Don’t Blow Things Out of Proportion!
"Bing Ning, your uncles are doing this for your own good. Do you know how much effort we put into finding you this marriage that many can only dream about?"
"Bing Ning, you have to listen to your uncles!"
"Yes, it’s true, Young Master Qin Shou has had his share of scandals, and he has indeed made ’some mistakes’ in the past, but so what? We’ve seen his commitment to change and start anew!"
"Once you marry him, you’ll immediately become the second young lady of the Qin Family, which is ranked ninety-eighth. With this status, you will be able to call the shots, control the power, and enjoy the admiration of thousands! We ’brought’ you back from the Celestial Sea to marry him because we sincerely want the best for you, and we don’t want you to live a miserable and wandering life outside anymore!"
"You need to understand the uncles, dress beautifully, and smile happily tomorrow. Don’t make our Six Doors and the Qin Family lose face, understood?"
Late at night, a multitude of stars twinkle in the night sky.
In the Endless Deep Mountains of Huaxia, Zone Seven, Wuya Peak.
At the peak, outside the antique-style wooden bedroom door.
Six elderly men, white-haired, long-bearded, slightly hunched, speaking one after another with faces full of "earnest persuasion" to the woman in the bedroom!
These six are the current Sect Leader and the five Grand Elders of the Six Doors, holding high positions and wielding significant power!
It’s hard to imagine that such powerful individuals would speak to a young woman in an almost pleading tone.
Actually, they were really helpless to do so.
It had been a long time since the marriage was arranged. It had also been a while since Ye Bingning was taken back to the Six Doors, yet they still hadn’t managed to persuade her to honestly marry into the Qin Family without causing any trouble.
With the wedding day approaching, what if Ye Bingning causes a scene tomorrow at the wedding? Where would that leave the face of the Six Doors and the Qin Family?
If the Qin Family is unhappy, the Six Doors will be in a difficult position!
"Bing Ning, can’t you just say something, we’re begging you, alright?" Sect Leader Ye Haoming tapped the wooden door tentatively.
"For my own good, my ass. And also, Qin Shou reformed?" Ye Bingning gave a scornful laugh in anger, laughing sardonically, "Ask yourselves honestly if you believe it, then ask yourselves if you believe a dog’s nature can change!"
"Besides, what does my wandering life outside have to do with you self-righteous guys? Over the years, you’ve never cared about me. You only remember me when you need someone to climb the mountain of knives or dive into the sea of fire! And then, against my wishes, you forcibly bring me back!"
"If marrying into the Qin Family is as good as you say, then why don’t you let your own daughters marry that bastard Qin Shou!"
In the bedroom, the sound of Ye Bingning’s sobs, full of sorrow and indignation, echoed.
Every word was cutting to the point, and the faces of Ye Haoming and the five Grand Elders turned green.
Especially that last question left them speechless.
They all had daughters, yet none of them were willing to let their daughters marry into the Qin Family.
Marrying into the Qin Family would be like pushing their daughters into the fire!
Not to mention that Qin Shou was an ugly, unsavory toad, and their daughters would be destroyed if they married him. As fathers, how could they bear to see that happen?
Moreover, rather than exchanging their daughters for benefits, they preferred to freeload by using a brother’s daughter—Ye Bingning—as a bargaining chip for marriage!
The Grand Elder of the Six Doors, Ye Dingwu, was somewhat embarrassed and furious, snorting in anger and commanding Ye Bingning in an irrefutable tone, "Ye Bingning, enough of your nonsense. Young Master Qin Shou has taken a liking to you, what can we do? The facts are set; the marriage has been completely settled. You must marry him, whether you want to or not! Anyway, I warn you to behave yourself tomorrow and don’t make it ugly; otherwise, tearing the family apart won’t be good for either side!"
Ye Bingning’s expression was desolate and desperate, "Don’t even think about it. You caused my parents’ death, and now you want to exploit me for personal gain. You shameless old things! It’s absolutely impossible for me to become your pawn!"
Upon hearing this, the high-level members of the Six Doors shifted their gaze slightly.
The tragedy of Ye Bingning’s parents’ deaths in the street became the greatest taboo at the Six Doors after their takeover, and no one was allowed to mention it.
They hadn’t heard about this matter in years, and they almost forgot it.
Now that Ye Bingning brought it up again, they felt somewhat guilty.
Besides guilt, their expressions also turned unsightly.
If Ye Bingning doesn’t cooperate, it will be difficult for them!
"Bing Ning, you really misunderstood us. Your parents’ deaths have nothing to do with us! We have been deeply pained by that incident over the years!"
"Helping you find a good family to marry into, ensuring you a life of peace and comfort, is the only way we can think of to make amends to you and your parents!"
"Marrying into the Qin Family is all benefit, no harm for you! Just marry Qin Shou peacefully and be the young lady of the Qin Family. Consider it a plea from your uncle, alright?"
Ye Haoming pleaded, but it only resulted in more fierce cursing from Ye Bingning.
"No way, Ye Haoming, stop saying those grandiose words. You know very well how my parents died, you old scumbag. I’m not stupid, you can’t fool me! As for marrying into the Qin Family to gain protection for you from the Qin Family, that’s even more impossible! I absolutely won’t marry; I want to see the three major forces surrounding the Six Doors, the brothers of my parents, storm into the Six Doors and kill you bunch of old dogs!"
"You..."
Ye Haoming and the Elders trembled with rage, their faces turning livid, rolling up their sleeves as if to rush into the room and give Ye Bingning a harsh lesson!
At the critical moment, a chubby man, bruised and swollen, with bandages all over his face and an air of sleaze that couldn’t be contained by the bandages, waddled into the side hall like a mummy.
Seeing the newcomer, Ye Haoming and others were startled, hurriedly cupping their hands, "Young Master Qin!"
The newcomer was none other than the notorious villain of the Qin Family—Qin Shou!
"What are you doing, trying to hit my wife, Qin Shou’s wife? You old dogs have some nerve! What if you hurt her, or accidentally mar her face while hitting her, how can I enjoy the greatest pleasure of the world when I share the bridal chamber with her tomorrow?!" Qin Shou snorted a few times, causing Ye Haoming and the others to break out in a cold sweat, their expressions awkward as if they had eaten something nasty, "We wouldn’t dare, we overstepped, sorry."
"Scram!"
Qin Shou shouted, and Ye Haoming and his group indeed retreated to the side.
Like cowed dogs.
Qin Shou loved this feeling of being in command, happy to adjust his collar, kicked open the door with a wicked smile, "Wifey, I’m here to see you."
After entering the bedroom, he was taken aback, and realizing what he saw, his expression changed!
On the antique bed, the petite yet incredibly alluring woman looked at him with utterly resolute eyes, holding a blade to her throat, and staring at Qin Shou with resentment, "I’m not your wife! You’ll never take me home! Even if you kill me, I won’t marry you!"
Qin Shou panicked a bit, his throat gulping hard, his eyes glued to Ye Bingning, unable to move away.
Damn, unlike other women who catfish with beauty filters, she’s even more stunning in real life than in photos?!
"Wifey, calm down, don’t be hasty!" Qin Shou waved his hands quickly; he didn’t want to see such a beauty perish in front of him, or he wouldn’t be able to enjoy her exquisite company.
After all, he’d been eagerly looking forward to enjoying this youthful beauty for a long time.
