"Do you think I like going over the wall?"
"It's not because your father and brother are stopping me from seeing you."
Meng Evening Yu rolled her eyes and grumbled with a face full of displeasure.
"And why is that?"
"My father and them, why won't they let you see me?"
Angie was instantly even stranger.
"How should I know." Meng Evening Yu paralyzed her hands.
"It says that you're getting married soon and it's not convenient to see people."
"I always thought something was fishy, so I found a way to come in and take a look."
"Ah? A big wedding?" An Qi was instantly even more puzzled, completely unaware of what exactly Meng Wanyu was talking about.
"What?"
"Don't you know yet?"
"In a few days' time, it will be your wedding to the Chu Family's third young master, Chu Qi Tian."
"These days, the whole Chu Mun Mountain is buzzing like crazy."
"Red makeup and greenery, tons and tons of flowers are coming in."
"Hate to think that the entire Chu Mun Mountain is dyed red."
"Only the Chu family young master's wedding banquet has such specifications, right?"
Meng Evening Yu lamented without surprise.
"Sister Evening Yu, you're joking."
"I'm getting married, how come I didn't know about it."
"Hardly, my father and brother they are still hiding it from me."
"Besides, my father just said that he doesn't want me to get married?"
"You must be mistaken."
"Even if we did get married, the bride would definitely not be me."
Angie was still smiling, not believing she was about to get married at all.
"My God?"
"You think I'm lying to you?"
"The Chu family invitations have all been sent out."
"It's not just the Chu Clan, now the entire world's powerful and famous people probably know about your wedding banquet with the Chu Family's young master."
"It says in black and white, Miss Jones Family, Angie. Jones."
"If you don't believe me, ask him."
Meng Evening Yu only felt amazed that the bride was completely kept in the dark about her own wedding.
At this moment, Angie, still holding on to her last hope, asked Elder Nuo: "Grandpa Nuo, tell me, what Sister Evening Yu said, is not true."
"My father and brother, didn't marry me off to someone else."
"That wedding with the young master of the Chu family, the bride was not me."
An Qi said one after another, those somewhat trembling words, as if she was praying for Elder Nuo's denial.
However, Old Man Nuo, who was at the side, was lowering his head and hesitating to speak.
Finally, a long sigh was let out.
"Ai~"
"Miss, you can't blame the Family Head for them."
"You and Young Master Chu, you had a marriage contract long ago."
"The marriage between the two families was decided many years ago."
"Your father, originally thought to wait until you were a little older before telling you slowly."
"But now that the times have changed, the family can only bring forward your wedding to the young master of the Chu family."
Elder Nuo spoke in a low voice, and his tone was full of heaviness.
He also knew that it was unfair to An Qi to act in such a manner.
But in this world, how could there be so much fairness to speak of.
Even if she had been born into a wealthy family, Angie still had no control over her own destiny and was now a victim of her family's interests.
When she learnt the truth, Angie's eyes immediately turned red.
Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and her pink and pretty face was pearly with rain.
"No~"
"It's impossible."
"You're all lying to me."
"You must all be lying to me."
"My father and elder brother love me so much, they couldn't have married me off to a stranger so casually."
"That's never possible."
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it~"
Angie's pretty face was filled with tears as she shook her head, almost hysterically contained.
Then, like a madman, Angie rushed out towards the outside of the courtyard.
"An Qi, what are you doing there?" Meng Wanyu asked anxiously.
"I'm going to find my father, I want to ask them face to face."
"I'm going to ask them if this is true."
"Is it true that they don't want Angie anymore?"
Angie shouted through her tears.
But Meng Wangyu sighed, "Anqi, it's useless."
"This courtyard, it has been sealed off."
"Outside it is guarded by clan master powerhouses."
"You won't be able to get out, you won't be able to see your father and brother at all."
Meng Evening Yu spoke from the sidelines.
But An Qi didn't believe it at all, and continued to run outside.
As expected, before An Qi had even left the courtyard, two old men, from nowhere, quietly appeared and blocked An Qi's way: "Miss, the family head has ordered that it is forbidden for Miss to go out during this time."
"If you have any needs, you can tell us, we will definitely do our best to meet them."
"Go away, all of you go away, I want to see my father~" An Qi pushed them away so hard that she even struck out at them later.
However, An Qi had only been involved in the martial arts for a year or so, so she was no match for these masters.
Within a few glances, An Qi had been forcibly sent back to the courtyard.
"I want to see my father."
"You guys let go of me, let go of me~"
An Qi still wanted to rush out, but in the end, she was stopped by Meng Wanyu.
"An Qi, it's useless."
"Things have come to this, even if you meet your father and brother, it won't change anything at all."
"The wedding posting has been sent and the wedding date has been set."
"Now the whole world knows that the young master of the Chu family is going to marry you."
"Do you think that your family, your father and brother, will repent of the marriage simply because of your wishes?"
"That's simply not possible."
"What's more, if they could consider your wishes, this marriage contract, from the beginning, would not have been entered into."
Meng Wangyu said in a sad voice, gently helping An Qi wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and comforting her from the side.
"But why?"
"Why is that?"
"Who are they to decide my fate, without permission?"
"By what right did they not ask my opinion?"
Angie was in tears, snuggling into Meng Wangyu's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Even though it was hard for An Qi to accept, all signs now showed that what Meng Wangyu had said was true.
Suddenly, An Qi only felt that the person she was once closest to and trusted the most had become so strange even at this moment.
"Ai~" Meng Evening Yu also sighed, "I thought that you agreed to this marriage."
"After all, Chu Qi Tian is also considered a rare talent."
"Moreover, it is highly likely that he will be the future heir to the Chu family head." "Objectively speaking, this marriage of yours is also a good match."
"I don't agree, I don't like him, I don't want to marry someone I don't know." An Qi shook her head, tears streaming down her face, unable to stop talking.
"Sister Evening Yu, what do you think I should do."
"I really can't figure out why father and brother and the others are doing this."
"This... Maybe they also have a hard time." Meng Wangyu didn't know how to comfort Anqi, so she could only say this.
But An Qi was still unwilling to do so, and she still wanted to see her father and brother and ask them about it face to face.
The old man, who had been silent, shook his head and sighed, "Miss, it's useless."
"Your marriage to the Chu family is a family decision, even your father can't change it."
"Moreover, nowadays, the Chu family is as strong as ever, and the Chu family head has broken through again in his cultivation, so it is possible that he will become the Chu clan head in the future."
"Nowadays, the Jones family needs such a strong in-laws."
"The family has made this decision for the sake of the family's future as well." "I hope you can understand your father and brother, and understand the family."
Old Nor advised in a low voice.
About Angie's wedding, Old Nor had actually begged Bill. Jones.
However, nothing had come of it.
Sometimes, personal interests had to be subordinated to the collective interests.
When Angie heard this, she laughed.
That tearful laugh was full of self-deprecation and loss.
"So, they chose to sacrifice me?"
