Chapter 255: If I Marry, I’ll Marry That Rascal

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: If I Marry, I’ll Marry That Rascal

The night was deep and quiet.

The Zhou Family’s old residence had returned to its original appearance.

However, Zhou Weimin had kept Zhao Jiaqi behind alone.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have something to discuss?"

Zhou Jiaqi looked at Zhou Weimin curiously.

This mysterious look on his face.

It was utterly baffling to her.

"Jiaqi, do you still not realize that your crisis has arrived?"

Zhou Weimin took a sip of strong tea.

But he still reeked of alcohol.

"What crisis?"

Zhao Jiaqi was stunned by his nonsensical remark.

"It’s the crisis about Lin Fan, of course. Your rival is about to arrive."

Zhou Weimin sighed.

He hadn’t expected Prince Zhen Nan to burst into the birthday banquet.

And to see through the plan he and Mr. Zhao had agreed upon instantly.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? I’m not even in a relationship!"

Zhao Jiaqi immediately defended herself, "I’ve said it countless times, Lin Fan and I are not even friends, let alone his type being to my liking. I swear, not just in this lifetime, but even in the next, I will have no romantic ties with him whatsoever."

"You, you’re really looking at ginseng and seeing grass. He is the leader of the Wolves, a one in a million man, the only one suited to your grandfather’s taste."

Zhou Weimin said with a wry smile, "The reason your grandfather agreed to his discharge and redeployment to Jiangning was to give you a chance to find this perfect match; you should seize the opportunity now. If Xu Zhi Rou manages to snatch him away, you’ll be too late to even cry."

"Why would I cry? I’d be too busy laughing."

Zhao Jiaqi rolled her eyes indifferently.

"He might be a treasure in your and my grandfather’s eyes. To me, he’s just a somewhat capable scoundrel. Recruiting him into Dragon Fang was just granting him an exception. If you think I’d marry someone like that, I’d rather stay single forever."

"Jiaqi, you don’t understand..."

Zhou Weimin wanted to persuade her further, but Zhao Jiaqi had already stood up.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand perfectly what I want. My future husband will definitely not be that scoundrel. It’s getting late, I’m leaving now. You should rest as well."

Before Zhou Weimin could say more, Zhao Jiaqi had hastily escaped out the door.

She dashed into the night like a streak of smoke.

"My goodness, I thought leaving Beijing would help me escape marriage pressure, but I never expected them to scheme against me. How can they arrange my marriage? If it comes to it, I might as well leave."

Zhao Jiaqi, holding the steering wheel, pursed her lips disdainfully.

In boredom, she pulled out her phone.

She dialed Min Yue’s number.

Soon, Min Yue’s voice came from the other end.

"Min Yue, let me tell you a joke. Our family actually wants me to chase after that scoundrel. I don’t think I can stay in Jiangning anymore. Let’s meet for tea tomorrow, and then I’ll leave."

"Marrying that scoundrel is much better than marrying a white-eyed wolf."

Unexpectedly, on the other end of the phone, Min Yue

did not respond with anger to her bizarre predicament.

Instead, her voice carried a tone of sadness,

as if she had just been crying.

"A white-eyed wolf? Are you referring to Gong Tianao?"

Zhao Jiaqi was taken aback.

She recalled the young master of the Gong Family she had met that day.

"That’s true, that guy is a typical male gold digger. Marrying someone like him would indeed be worse than settling for that scoundrel. But luckily, you don’t have to suffer that fate."

"I’m afraid... I am that unfortunate!"

Min Yue sighed deeply, "This afternoon, the Gong Family actually retrieved my master’s keepsake, and my master especially wrote a letter agreeing to my marriage to Gong Tianao."

"Your master has gone mad, how could she allow you to marry that kind of person!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi felt completely overwhelmed.

If, in her heart, the highest score was ten.

Lin Fan could score at most one point.

But Gong Tianao was absolutely in the negative.

Just consider his attitude when Lin Fan treated Shangguan Min Yue for her illness.

He was simply inhuman.

"Master’s orders are difficult to disobey!"

If it were before, Shangguan Min Yue would never allow anyone to slander her master.

But this time, regarding Zhao Jiaqi’s words, she couldn’t be bothered to argue.

After all, she also couldn’t imagine why her master would make her marry that kind of man.

"Min Yue, just calm down for a moment. I’m coming to you now, and we can talk when we meet!"

This matter, for Zhao Jiaqi, was absolutely a big deal.

It was rare to find a sister she connected with so deeply.

Moreover, she despised Gong Tianao to her very core.

Why should such a man get such a wonderful wife?

The car drove straight to the Shangguan Family.

An hour later, she met with Shangguan Min Yue, who had sneaked out from her home.

The two of them sat side by side in the car.

Watching Shangguan Min Yue’s usually cold face, which was now filled with sorrow.

In her beautiful eyes, there was also the sheen of tears.

The swollen eyes proved that she had just had a big cry.

"Could it be possible that the Gong Family switched the letter?"

Zhao Jiaqi furrowed her brows.

She had been thinking for a long time on the drive over.

She absolutely didn’t believe that Master Miejue would push Shangguan Min Yue into a fire pit.

"Impossible!"

Shangguan Min Yue shook her head and said, "Master wrote it in our sect’s secret code. No one outside our sect can understand it. Moreover, Master also said that she would personally attend my wedding in a week and told me not to worry and prepare for marriage."

"She’s even coming in person? My God, she doesn’t understand what kind of man Gong Tianao is, yet she agreed to the marriage. This is simply terrifying."

Zhao Jiaqi pouted angrily, "Miss Shangguan, why don’t you just flee the marriage? I don’t want to stay in Jiangning either. Just come with me to Beijing. Once we’re there, the Gong Family can’t do anything, and even if your master comes looking, my family’s power ensures she wouldn’t dare make a move. Just delaying it should solve it all."

"I can’t go."

Shangguan Min Yue wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, "If I flee the marriage, I might cause trouble for my parents. After all, this marriage was agreed to by my master. She is eccentric and cares deeply about face. I’m really afraid that if she gets truly angry, she might take it out on my parents. Besides, the Gong Family would never let my family off either."

"But that shouldn’t let Gong Tianao off easily, that jerk!"

Zhao Jiaqi rubbed her chin.

Her beautiful eyes darted back and forth.

"Perhaps this is just my fate,"

Shangguan Min Yue sighed.

She now felt completely devoid of any courage to live on.

"What fate, my arse. Even if you must marry that scoundrel, you can’t let that bastard have an easy life. Oh yes!"

Zhao Jiaqi suddenly slapped her thigh, "That’s it! Since that scoundrel has seen what he shouldn’t have, might as well let him see your face again. After all, the rules were set by your master. Let’s see what she has to say about that."

"Let him see?"

Shangguan Min Yue looked puzzled, "But if that angers my master... wouldn’t that kill him!"

"Don’t worry. He’s like a mosquito, not afraid of a bite, a dead pig not afraid of scalding water."

Zhao Jiaqi smirked, "Killing him would be a public service. If he doesn’t die, then marry him and torment him for a lifetime!"
