"The grace of saving your life?" Ye Leng'an's eyes widened, and there was a light of gossip in his eyes, "What's going on here?"
Huangfu Ruiling didn't hide anything, and directly told the ins and outs of the matter, "When Huangfu Ruixiang went out to practice, Zhong Yating directly set a trap, so that Huangfu Ruixiang was attacked by a ferocious beast. Then, at the critical moment, he suddenly appeared again and sacrificed his life to save Huangfu Ruixiang."
"Afterwards, Zhong Yating was seriously injured, and it is said that she almost lost her life. Afterwards, Zhong Yating threatened to repay her with kindness, but Huangfu Ruixiang couldn't shirk it. In the end, she could only agree to marry Zhong Yating."
"Then this Zhong Yating is really hardworking!" Ye Leng'an felt a little speechless, "Using her life as a bet is for a man who doesn't see her at all, what is she planning!"
"Probably because she wants to marry into the Huangfu family!" Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, "Although Zhong Yating was born in the hidden world, she lives in a remote mountain village. Only after being with Huangfu Ruixiang have I really seen these feasting and feasting people."
"I thought that cultivators would not pay much attention to these things!" Ye Leng'an blinked, then shook his head, "That's not true, as long as one can live comfortably, who wants to live in poverty!"
Just like her, although she attaches great importance to daily practice. However, she will still enjoy the life that should be enjoyed. After all, the future is long, and she doesn't want to live a miserable life.
"Zhong Yating's aptitude is not high." Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, "No matter how hard you work, you can't make much progress. Unless there is a elixir that can change the body, it will have no effect."
Ye Lengan understood, and nodded, "So instead of immersing yourself in the cultivation that you can't break through in the limited time, it's better to lose a wealthy son-in-law and live a wealthy life."
"Let's go back first!"
Huangfu Ruiling got up directly, then took Ye Leng'an's hand, and walked out the door.
In the main house of the Huangfu family's old house, the atmosphere is not very good.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying kept gloomy faces, and when their eyes fell on Zhong Yating, their expressions were even distorted. This shows how dissatisfied they are with this future daughter-in-law.
Although they said they were discussing marriage, no one spoke. The strange atmosphere of silence has been permeating the living room, making people feel uneasy even sitting there.
However, Zhong Yating was the only one who felt uneasy in the living room.
Even if she just sat there, she could feel Huangfu Ruixiang's parents rejecting her. The attitude was completely different from the previous engagement, and the two were very dissatisfied with her. As for her fiancé, Huangfu Ruixiang, who was sitting next to her, he had absolutely no intention of speaking for her, or opening his mouth to ease the atmosphere.
After Zhong Yuliuying glanced at Huangfu Ruixiang, she said, "Ruixiang, I have something to tell you, come out with me."
After finishing speaking, she got up and walked directly to the garden outside.
Huangfu Ruixiang got up immediately and was about to follow. However, Zhong Yating held his hand. He frowned, and without thinking much, he pulled Zhong Yating's hand away. Then without saying a word, she followed Zhong Yuliuying's footsteps and walked outside.
With two people missing, the atmosphere in the living room became even weirder.
After Huangfu Jingzhang glanced at Zhong Yating indifferently, he also got up and left the living room. In the huge living room, Zhong Yating was the only one left there, sitting quietly on the sofa.
At this moment, Zhong Yating couldn't even maintain the smile on her face. She felt extremely embarrassed. Today was the day to discuss marriage, but none of her fiancé's parents wanted to see her. And her fiancé never thought of defending herself. She could almost imagine what the future would be like.
However, even so, she will not regret her choice. For this choice, she almost lost her life. After paying such a high price, she would never allow herself any chance to back down.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yating's expression became firm. The embarrassment just now had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, she had a smile on her face, and she looked extraordinarily quiet.
In the garden—
Zhong Yuliuying looked at Huangfu Ruixiang who was standing opposite her, and immediately opened her mouth to bombard, "Ruixiang, how did you promise me before that you said that you were only engaged to this Zhong Yating and would never marry her. Then what are you doing now? You want to marry her, are you crazy?"
Facing Zhong Yuliuying's accusation, Huangfu Ruixiang did not refute anything, but sighed helplessly, and finally said, "Mother, don't talk about it, everything is a foregone conclusion now. No matter what, I must marry Zhong Yating."
"You're confused!" Zhong Yuliuying hated iron and steel, "Do you know how important the choice of your future wife is to your future! Even if you aren't a disciple of a big family in the hidden world, it is more than enough for you to find one from a big family in the mortal world. But what about you? You actually chose such a person, you—"
When it came to the end, Zhong Yuliuying could hardly continue.
"Mother, I know what you said," a wry smile appeared on Huangfu Ruixiang's face, "But she has saved my life, and I can't abandon her. Now everyone in the Huangfu family in the hidden world knows that Zhong Yating has a deep affection for me, and almost died to save me. You say, if I abandon her now, then in the eyes of those people, who am I?"
"But, even if she saved you, there's no need to pay for your whole life!" Zhong Yuliuying said bitterly, "Give her any other favors, just as a thank you for saving her life! Why do you have to get married! Besides, even if you get married, you don't have to be so anxious! If you drag her, maybe she will give up in the end!"
"Mother, it's useless." Huangfu Ruixiang shook his head, "I've thought about what you said, but it's not realistic."
