Chapter 173: Li Xinting’s Helplessness, Too Stubborn!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing the steaming bowls of cornmeal porridge, Sister Zhou couldn’t resist her hunger and sat down to eat. She observed Li Xinting happily enjoying her meal.

Hmm…

It had to be said that the taste was indeed excellent!

As for Yang Qingyue, she sat quietly on the side, observing.

Sister Zhou couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at her from the corner of her eye.

Admittedly…

Even though Yang Qingyue wore simple clothing and didn’t wear any makeup, her delicate features and well-maintained figure made her quite the beauty!

However, when she thought about the fact that Yang Qingyue was going to marry the Wang Ergou mentioned by Li Xinting, she felt a bit uneasy!

Ten minutes passed.

Li Xinting finished her bowl first, and Sister Zhou had eaten most of her portion. It wasn’t that she was wasting it, but…

The bowls were just too large.

Li Xinting burped, then rolled her eyes playfully and said, “I told you to come to my place, but you refused. If you were with me, I wouldn’t have to come back every time to eat this.”

Her tone was very relaxed.

Yang Qingyue smiled faintly and replied, “Not used to it.”

Simple answer, but the meaning behind it was far from simple.

“Alright, alright, you’re good! If you’re not used to it, I won’t force you!”

“But, Little Blue Moon, I have to tell you this time, it’s absolutely impossible for you to marry that beast!”

“I have plenty of money here! If you dare to say otherwise, I’ll tell you that I won’t talk to you in the future!” Li Xinting pulled out all the stops!

However…

Yang Qingyue just smiled faintly and said, “You can’t do it.”

Li Xinting was speechless.

Sister Zhou was speechless too.

It was simple and clear.

Li Xinting instantly looked as if she had lost a battle.

Cutting the tie with Yang Qingyue? She really could not do it.

“I’m begging you, Yang Qingyue,” Li Xinting’s tone shifted to pleading. “Come with me, don’t be stubborn! Why do you have to marry that useless guy? I know it’s not just about the 188,800 yuan! What’s really going on? Can you please tell me? Just consider it a request from me, okay?”

Li Xinting looked at Yang Qingyue with hope, hoping she would reveal the reason.

After all, 188,800 yuan was indeed a substantial sum for Yang Qingyue in this small village.

If it were a matter of money, Li Xinting knew she wouldn’t refuse her help.

Yang Qingyue wouldn’t easily use her own money, but when it was truly needed, there would be no hesitation.

So, when Li Xinting suggested giving more money to her foster parents as a way to repay their kindness, Yang Qingyue refused.

Li Xinting knew something was definitely not simple about this situation.

But what exactly was happening was something she needed to figure out.

However, Yang Qingyue just smiled faintly and said, “Enough, after all, it’s a rare visit. Let’s not talk about this. Tomorrow is my big day, so consider tonight a celebration for me, and then you can go back.”

Sister Zhou was speechless.

Why did it sound so strange?

Tomorrow was a big day, and she was chasing them away today?

Even a fool could tell that this situation was far from normal, right?

At this moment, Li Xinting stood up directly.

“Yang Qingyue! Do you really want to drive me crazy? Am I still your sister? Why can’t you tell me what’s going on? What’s the matter? I’m begging you to tell me! ”

But Yang Qingyue still had that faint smile on her face and calmly said, “I’ll make you some Four Happiness Meatballs in a moment. Tomorrow, I’m getting you an extra pork elbow at the banquet, as well as your favorite big prawns.”

“Yeah, and what about sea cucumbers? Abalones? I heard these things are really good. I know you’ve probably eaten them before, but how about having them with me for lunch today?”

Yang Qingyue just continued talking to herself.

Li Xinting was utterly speechless and on the verge of exploding in anger. But Yang Qingyue still wore a smiling face.

Sister Zhou stood there, unsure of what to do. However, she could see that this was a form of communication between the two. As for Yang Qingyue, perhaps this was just her personality?

Otherwise, given her relationship with Li Xinting, why wouldn’t she consider doing a live stream together or even help Li Xinting with her work instead of staying in this small village? Why go through all this?

Just when Li Xinting was infuriated and didn’t know what to say, a young boy suddenly ran in from outside.

Upon seeing the young boy, Yang Qingyue’s expression finally changed. But before she could say anything, the boy spoke first.

“Sister Xinting, I know why Yang Qingyue wants to marry that buttface!”

“It’s because I overheard the stubborn old couple talking to Yang Qingyue. They said if she doesn’t marry Wang Ergou, he will break their legs, seize their land, and drive them out of the village!”

The young boy didn’t pay any attention to Yang Qingyue’s gaze. He just blurted it out in one breath.

After saying this, he turned and ran away without giving Yang Qingyue a chance to reprimand him.

Li Xinting, who heard this news, was stunned, and then she looked at Yang Qingyue with anger.

“Are you a fool? Why would you believe whatever those two stubborn old folks say? Even if they get their legs broken, they deserve it! Why do you care about their lives or deaths?”

“You tell me, since when have they ever truly treated you as their daughter from your childhood to now?”

“Why are you so naive? How much suffering have you endured from childhood until now? Why on earth are there people as foolish as you in this world?” Li Xinting was on the verge of tears, consumed by her frustration.

The question of whether Yang Qingyue’s foster parents spoke the truth hardly seemed to matter at all.

Even if their claims were accurate, it was a new world governed by the rule of law—the antiquated ways of the past had lost their grip.

The notion that one could engage in criminal acts without facing the full weight of justice was preposterous.

What a joke!

Yet despite her seething indignation, Li Xinting found herself disarmed by Yang Qingyue’s tranquil smile.

The soft-spoken revelation came like a soothing balm: “They saved my life.”

Once again, Li Xinting lost her temper.

This simple declaration quelled Li Xinting’s fury.

Yang Qingyue had always maintained that, regardless of how her foster parents had treated her, without their intervention, she would have succumbed to the merciless elements.

Whatever the underlying reason for their rescue, it all boiled down to preserving her life.

In her eyes, her existence was irrevocably intertwined with her foster parents.

As for the enigma of her acceptance of this arranged marriage, it could perhaps be best described as settling an age-old debt.

Li Xinting realized that any further argument with Yang Qingyue would be futile. With an exasperated sigh, she pointed accusingly, “Very well! Yang Qingyue, you’ve bested me. I shall cease my attempts at persuasion. I’m off to find Wang Ergou and I’ll ensure he doesn’t wed you! Will that suffice for you?” With that declaration, Li Xinting turned and made her way to the exit.

Sister Zhou, standing by in silent astonishment, hurried to follow her.

However, at that very moment, a voice, tinged with a mischievous tone, suddenly echoed through the room.

“Well, our dear Sister Ting.”

“If you won’t permit Qingyue to marry me, could it be that you’ve resolved to become my bride instead?”
