Chapter 595: Chapter 596: Maliciously Forcing a Marriage

Song Xiaodong had been matching wits with her since Sun One appeared. In fact, he didn’t possess such a sensitive nose, but somehow, he just had a hunch. So he decided to bluff her by calling her Sun Yiyi. Unexpectedly, his bluff revealed Sun Yiyi’s grandmother.

At this point, Sun One nodded and said, "You’re actually right. My granddaughter is indeed a rare beauty, one ordinary men can’t appreciate. She rarely speaks of a decent young man, and I indeed would like you to marry her."

"That seems like a great thing," Song Xiaodong said.

"Yes, it is a good thing, but don’t be so quick to agree. I have my conditions."

"Go on."

"I’ve heard you’re involved with those two Su Family girls with the Miao surname in a way that’s not quite clear-cut. So, I want you to kill them all. Then I’ll agree to let you be with my Yiyi."

"That’s impossible!" Song Xiaodong immediately refused adamantly.

"If you don’t kill them, then I’ll have to kill you. I can’t let my granddaughter compete with other women for love and affection."

Song Xiaodong said resolutely, "Sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but Qingqing and Xuanxuan are people I care about. I absolutely won’t kill them."

"You really won’t kill them?" Sun One glared, pressing for an answer.

"Absolutely impossible!" Song Xiaodong’s expression darkened as he said, "If those are your conditions, then you might as well just kill me."

"Oh, the youngster does have quite the temper. Well then, my condition does seem a bit hard to fulfill. How about this, you break up with them, stop wanting them, and then be with my granddaughter."

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head gently, still speaking with unwavering determination, "Elder Sun One, Yiyi spared me once, and that’s why I respect you so much. But that doesn’t mean Yiyi and I have any romantic feelings. As for Xuanxuan and Qingqing, our bond is inseparable. If I could abandon them for another woman, it would mean I’m a fickle and unfaithful man. And if I could abandon them, I’d do the same to your granddaughter in the future. Would you still want such a man for her?"

Sun One snorted, "Firstly, how can they be compared to my granddaughter? My granddaughter is born with charm bones; she has an incredible allure to men. Once a man is with her, he’ll likely never want to leave for his entire life; secondly, if you dare to abandon my granddaughter, I’ll kill you myself."

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, "Elder Sun One, thank you for the offer and for giving me this chance, but I’ll have to decline. Go ahead and kill me."

Sun One angrily said, "You annoying brat, I’m offering you my granddaughter and you refuse? Do you really think I won’t kill you?" But her voice still carried the seductive charm of Sun Yiyi.

"No, I believe you will kill me. A woman of extreme beauty often possesses a special kind of obsession. If you want to kill me, then I have to accept my fate."

"Do you realize that by killing you today, there’ll be no one to protect the women of your house? They will face various oppressions. Those Su Family girls will be forced to marry other men, and when that happens, they will be kissed by those men, touched by those men. Furthermore, they will have to share their beds with those men, heh heh... But by then, you will already be dead, and you won’t be able to feel it."

Song Xiaodong’s face suddenly changed. Sun One’s words struck a nerve. As a man, he wasn’t afraid of death, but the thought of what would happen after he died truly sent shivers down his spine.

"Heh heh, does it hurt to think about it?" Sun One laughed, taking a few steps forward with her hands behind her back, and then continued, "If you die like this, you won’t see any of this happening, which seems a bit less interesting. How about this instead: I break your legs, cripple you, make it so you wish for death but can’t achieve it, and then hide you away. Let them think you’re dead, and then, the next thing you know, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan will be forced to marry or even find boyfriends on their own."

Sun One got more excited as she spoke, "Then I’ll secretly bring you to watch as your women are kissed and touched by men, ha ha, and you’ll have to watch your women taken to bed by others, heh heh, you’ll be able to do nothing but watch helplessly. That would truly be so entertaining."

"You...you...you vile old hag!" Song Xiaodong couldn’t help yelling, his eyes nearly popping out.

"Vile, am I? I offered you a good path and you wouldn’t take it. Now, I’m giving you another chance. Make your choice. Do you want to marry my granddaughter, or do you want to watch in agony as your women marry others?"

"I..." Song Xiaodong started to decline, but he swallowed his words, his face twitching violently, his eyes filled with rage.

"My patience has limits, you know. I’ll give you two minutes to consider," Sun One said, her voice cheery. She then sat down beside Sun Two, shook her head and said, "Look here, Sun Two, it’s not that I don’t want to save you. It’s just that your injuries are beyond healing. A needle in the brain, bones shattered in multiple places. But most important of all, the fall has turned your brain to mush. Even if your life was saved, you’d be nothing more than a vegetable, clueless about everything. It’s better for you to go peacefully."

By this time, Sun Two was indeed hanging on by a thread, but his gaze at Sun One was filled with strangeness.

Sun One said softly, "Go now. Your family, the Sun family, will groom them well." She then caressed Sun Two’s forehead, and when her hand lifted, Sun Two had already closed his eyes, lifeless.

"You there, have you made up your mind?" Sun One slowly stood up, turned to look at Song Xiaodong, and drawled, "Don’t try to deceive me. If you agree to leave Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, then you must never see them again. Each time you see them, I’ll mark their faces with a slash. Twice, two slashes."

"You... you are truly malicious!" Initially, Song Xiaodong had entertained the idea of appeasement, but after Sun One’s words, he didn’t dare entertain such thoughts anymore.

Sun One snorted, "There’s no choice; men are just too unreliable. If I don’t take drastic measures, my granddaughter will wind up being fooled by you."

Before Song Xiaodong could speak, Sun One added, "Now give me your answer. Do you want my granddaughter or those two women? Oh, wrong, you can only choose my granddaughter or choose a lifetime of pain. You no longer have a chance to be with those two women of yours."
