Chapter 400: Marriage between Zheng Family and Meng Family

It just a pity, Meng Nan was not interested to marry such a delicate girl.

“I don’t know why mother is looking for me, did something happened?” Meng Nan asked Xu Furen.

Xu Furen slightly smiled: “It’s nothing. Your Aunt Zheng came, I want you to meet her.”

Meng Nan nodded his head and slightly smiled at Zheng Furen: “I should have visited aunt. It’s impolite of me.”

Zheng Furen laughed: “You have the heart. I know you. I don’t really mind.”

After a brief conversation, Meng Nan looked for an excuse and then left.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Fushou Residence, Xu Furen caught up to him.

“Nan’er, wait up.”

Meng Nan stopped and turned around, then said: “Mother, is there something else?”

Xu Furen didn’t beat around the bush, she lifted her chin and said: “Today, your Aunt Zheng came here for your marriage with Xue’er. Do you have anything to say?”

Meng Nan simply said: “I don’t agree.”

Xu Furen was shocked: “What did you say?”

Meng Nan replied: “You asked me if I had something to say, I said, I don’t agree.”

“Wha, what? Don’t you have a good relationship with Xue’er before? Xue’er wanted to marry you with all her heart. You know this all along, and you never said that you don’t agree with this marriage before!”

Meng Nan’s sharp eyebrows frown, he sighed and said: “Mother, Zheng Ruxue and I don’t have a good relationship. She just kept pestering me. For the sake of Zheng Family’s face, I didn’t say anything. Moreover, you didn’t mention this thing to me before, so I didn’t get a chance to express my opinion. So how did this become my fault?”

Xu Furen became anxious: “Nan’er, you can’t say this. Although this matter has not been mentioned to you on the surface, everyone knows this event. You can’t suddenly say that you don’t agree. Didn’t we delay her marriage enough?”

Meng Nan waved his hand: “Mother, I can’t afford to bear the crime of delaying her marriage. Since the beginning, I didn’t say or do anything to her beyond the rules. The most important point is, I don’t like a girl like her. Marriage is a life-long event. I shouldn’t be careless. If you marry someone you don’t like, it will not only torture me but also her, right? So I want mother to think twice!”

As the son of the Meng family, he used to think that he had no right to decide his own destiny, nor resist, because he never cared.

For him, to have a wife and have a son was just to fulfill one of the many obligations of being a son of the Meng family.

That’s all there is to it.

But now, he wants to spend a lifetime with someone he likes.

Meng Nan turned around and walked away, leaving Xu Furen standing alone. Her son came back from Qingyuan Town, but it seemed he have changed a lot. He became more silent than before and more impenetrable.

How can this be good? Zheng Furen was still waiting for her in the hall. How will she explain this matter?

If she disregards Meng Nan’s wishes, force him to marry Zheng Ruxuer, even if she enters their door, he will not touch her. Then, won’t her dream to have grandson will fail?

But if she will follow his wishes, what will she say to the Zheng family? Won’t they resent them?

Xu Furen took a lot of time before she returned to the hall. When she returned, she only said that Meng Nan walked too fast and didn’t catch up when she chased after him.

Zheng Furen was also a clever person. Seeing the look on Xu Furen’s face, she didn’t mention about the marriage between their family. She had a guess inside her heart. She couldn’t help but feel depressed, she lost her appetite to drink tea. In the end, she left with a black face.

  1. Meng Nan turned around and walked away, leaving Xu Furen standing alone. His son came back from Qingyuan Town, but it seemed he have changed a lot.

    Spelling Mistake: “His son” to “Her son”

  2. I agree with Meng Nan on this. Since he never gave her any promises or gave her any hopes then honestly it’s on her. Her family can’t blame him for the delay in her marriage. She’s the one pinning for him, he also didn’t tell her to wait for his return.
