Chapter 1322: Chapter 1294: Slapping the Reborn Stallion Man 57
Anning didn’t have to go against Yang Erchou.
Besides, this matter had already been calculated by her and Xiao Yuan, and there wasn’t going to be any big trouble, so she agreed with a smile: "Alright, I’ll listen to Dad. If Dad says no, then no. There are plenty of men in the world; if it’s not him, there are better ones out there."
Only then did Yang Erchou become happy: "Yes, you’re still young, we’re not in a hurry, take your time choosing."
Anning replied seriously: "I understand. I’ve been sensible since I was young and never worried you and Mom. It’ll be the same this time, unless he’s not a son of the Xiao Family, otherwise, I’ll definitely break up with him."
His daughter was compliant and not like others who’d go to extremes for a man, which truly put Yang Erchou at ease.
He was only afraid that his daughter would throw a fit and insist on being with Xiao Yuan. Yang Erchou had seen such things before, a perfectly fine young girl risking her life for a man, eventually cutting off ties with the family, only thinking of her own happiness, without realizing how heartbroken her parents would be.
Since his daughter agreed quickly, Yang Erchou naturally didn’t say much more.
He said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, he heard someone talking outside the door.
When he went out to see, he saw Li Cuixia standing at the door with a stern face, and Xiao Qun and his wife standing in the yard.
Xiao Qun rubbed his hands, wearing a flattering smile: "In-law, you see, I just found out about my second son and Ningning. This is really... I didn’t expect our second son, being so quiet, to have such good fortune. I just thought, just thought."
He Fangfang quickly added: "We’ve come to discuss, our second son is not young anymore, should we let the two kids settle the matter sooner?"
Yang Erchou’s face suddenly turned sour: "What in-laws, what does your child have to do with us, don’t talk nonsense. I just talked to Ningning on the phone. She said it was someone from the Capital who was jealous of her, intentionally finding someone to spread rumors around here. There’s nothing to it at all."
"That can’t be."
Xiao Qun shook his head vigorously: "Flies won’t bite a seamless egg. If it really wasn’t true, would people make it up? How did they know about our family? Besides, there are so many guys in the village around Anning’s age, why not say anyone else? There must be some truth to it."
He Fangfang also said: "Don’t worry, we will definitely treat Anning well in the future, I will love her like my own daughter."
Li Cuixia thought to herself, don’t say you’ll treat her like your own daughter, have you ever even cared for your own daughter, and now you claim you’ll be good to ours? You’re just lying through your teeth.
Yang Erchou immediately got angry: "I said there’s nothing to it, and there isn’t. Does any child date without discussing it with their family? As parents, we must agree before they date. My wife and I don’t know anything about it, let alone agree to it. Besides, our Ningning is just focused on her studies, where does she have the time to date?"
In fact, Xiao Qun and He Fangfang didn’t believe those words either.
Don’t they know what their own child is like?
As for Xiao Yuan, he might look good, but other than appearance, there’s really nothing noteworthy.
He’s not literate, has no education or degree, and no money. Why would Anning, a prestigious university student, fancy him?
However, facing such a rare opportunity, they still came running.
They just wanted to take the opportunity to extort the Yang Family.
They knew Anning had money. Wow, she took out hundreds of thousands just to buy her sister a house. How much money is that, something they couldn’t even dream of earning in a lifetime?
Xiao Qun was just thinking that since the rumors were spreading about Xiao Yuan dating Anning, they should hurry to the Yang Family and make a scene. Anyway, it’s not their face that’s being lost. Once the rumor settles, Anning would have to marry Xiao Yuan.
If Anning married in, wouldn’t all of Anning’s money belong to their Xiao Family?
By that time, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything, even just sitting around doing nothing.
Their kids wouldn’t have to worry either, with someone to take care of building a house and getting married. If there were kids in the future, Anning’s abilities ensured she’d provide for them well.
With such a daughter-in-law, three generations wouldn’t have to worry, who wouldn’t laugh themselves awake from that?
So, Xiao Qun and He Fangfang had discussed it; whether it was true or not, they decided it was true. In short, this daughter-in-law must marry in.
Xiao Qun wore a smile: "I know you look down on our second son, but it’s not like he’s all bad. He looks good, you know. Ningning is capable; if she finds someone equally capable, she might not hold on, so it’s better to find someone like our second son. At least he’s honest..."
How could Yang Erchou not understand Xiao Qun’s thoughts?
He was utterly disgusted.
Li Cuixia was even angrier, grabbing a broom to chase the couple: "Get out! What are you daydreaming about? Even if our Ningning never gets married, she won’t marry into your Xiao Family."
Old Madam couldn’t sit still either, coming out of the house to fiercely scold the Xiao couple.
Xiao Qun and his wife came cheerfully but left dejectedly.
There, after Li Cuixia chased those two away, she immediately started wandering the village.
Old Madam too, going around chatting with some old sisters in the village, and as she talked, she began to cry: "Why is our family being targeted like this, who did we offend? Our Ningning is a good, honest student. Don’t we all know what kind of person she is? Is she the type to take advantage of people? Our Ningning never took a penny from anyone since childhood, yet some say she’s scamming big bosses. Are we short on money? Ningning can earn her own money, and our eldest also earns well, we’re not short on food or clothes. Why would she scam others for money? As for dating Xiao’s second son, that’s even more baseless. Who did such a vicious thing, making up stories?"
Frankly, even people in the same village didn’t believe that Anning would be with Xiao Yuan.
The gap between the two was too vast.
Moreover, what kind of person Anning was; how could the elderly in the village not know?
The girl was truly decent and upright, she wouldn’t scam others without reason.
Everyone thought maybe Anning was just too successful, and someone who couldn’t stand it deliberately targeted her. As for Xiao’s second son, maybe they were both in the Capital, from the same village, so perhaps Xiao Yuan needed Anning’s help with something and someone saw it, hence linking the two together.
The old ladies comforted Ge San Ni: "Don’t cry, some people are just jealous. Don’t we know what kind of person Ningning is? Such a great kid, really unfortunate."
Ge San Ni cried even harder: "Because of this, my eldest granddaughter almost had a difficult birth. It terrifies me to think about it. Who did we provoke to be harmed like this? If I find out who did it, I’ll tear them apart!"
Anning hung up the phone, her face covered in frost.
She turned to Sun Keke: "I need to go out, I won’t be back tonight. Keep an eye on things for me."
Sun Keke agreed with a nod.
Anning grabbed her bag and headed out.
She left the school, found a public phone, and directly dialed Yi Qihang’s number: "Where are you?"
This was the first time Anning had called Yi Qihang.
Yi Qihang was absolutely thrilled: "I’m at XX Club. Do you need something?"
"I do. Wait for me there; I’ll be there soon."
Anning swiftly hung up the phone.
She hailed a taxi, gave the club’s address, with the driver giving her a curious look.
When she arrived at the club, Anning was stopped at the entrance. After giving Yi Qihang’s name, the security at the entrance made a call inside, and Anning was then allowed in.
