Chapter 770: Fake Marriage For Three Months
Zhou Yao did not know whether it was going to be fun or not. Even if he had an unclear relations.h.i.+p with Leng Zhiyuan, that woman was too stubborn, and every time she saw him, she would be just like a porcupine on guard. He just wanted to correct her character.
He had not liked anyone before, and he did not know how it felt to like a person. After all, that woman could stimulate his masculine desires to overcome her, but this kind of feeling definitely did not make him want to marry her.
He did not want to get married at all.
And also what about producing children? It was totally a joke!
…
Leng Zhiyuan was also in the same situation. She went back for a few days, and when she returned to the Leng home, people came non stop to congratulate her, and the living room of the Leng home was filled with presents.
And similarly, she was also locked in her room by Leng Mu.
One day, the helper placed a delicately made meal in her room and said, “Young Miss, it is time to eat.”
“I am not eating!” Leng Zhiyuan kicked the table immediately and said, “Where is my father? Ask him to come over quickly!”
“Zhiyuan…” At this moment, Leng Mu had a bright smile on his face as he appeared. He subtly gave the helpers an indication with his eyes, and the helper quickly took the food out and escaped the room.
“Zhiyuan, my precious daughter, why are you so angry? Come, have a seat.” Leng Mu took the accounting record that he hid in his embrace out and said, “Come over quickly. Daddy has a good thing to show you. The Zhou family is a large family. The dowry that we sent over cannot attract too much attention, so Daddy changed the gold and jewels into lease agreements and also a bank account…”
“Dad, I am not going to get married!” Leng Zhiyuan was cold as she interrupted Leng Mu.
Leng Mu froze, then he brought the accounting record back into his embrace. He started to sob and said, “Zhiyuan ah, my precious, your mother died early, and ever since you were young, I raised you up all by myself… Our Leng family is involved in this business. Ever since you were young, you were involved in this industry and turned into what you are today. You do not even know that you are a girl. This…is all my fault…
“I have long wished and hoped that you would marry someone early, and now that the matters between you and Major General Zhou have spread, and you actually do not want to get married, how are you asking me…to continue living? How am I going to go out? There are so many enemies of the Leng family, and in the future, they would all…mock me…behind my back. They would chide me for not teaching my daughter well. I…I do not want to live anymore…”
Leng Zhiyuan watched her father behaving this way and could not stop wiping her tears away. While she wiped them away, she froze inside her heart. The expression on her face was very poor, but her tone got a little softer as she said, “If it was not you who set up a trap in Myanmar to harm me, would this matter have spread?”
“If you had not had interactions with Major General Zhou all the time, could I have set a trap up on you?” Leng Mu stopped sobbing immediately as he retorted.
“You!” Leng Zhiyuan clenched her fists together.
“Oh my gosh, why is my life so bitter? The child’s mother, I should have left together with you…” Leng Mu started to sob again.
Leng Zhiyuan was angry, but she could not let her anger out. Her face was grim as she sat down on the bench and said, “Then you also cannot let me marry that b.a.s.t.a.r.d; he is just a sc.u.mbag!”
“You just like sc.u.mbags. What can Dad do then?”
“You!”
Leng Mu started to cry again. Leng Zhiyuan quickly raised both of her arms in defeat and said, “Okay don’t cry anymore. Can we push the…wedding back? Older Brother has yet to get married. Why do I have to do so first?”
Leng Mu stood up immediately, and he walked behind Leng Zhiyuan as he helped her to ma.s.sage her shoulders, before he smiled and softly said, “Zhiyuan, I am not going to hide this from you. Your Older Brother has already found a good girl, and both of them have started to negotiate terms of marriage now…”
Leng Zhiyuan was elated and said, “Then ask Older Brother to hurry up.”
“We cannot. We have asked a master to predict it, and the master said that our Leng family has to marry you off first, then your older brother can get married. Only by doing it this way can our Leng family last for generations, so Zhiyuan,” Leng Mu could not stop blinking and said, “you have to hurry with this.”
Leng Zhiyuan: d.a.m.n it all; it was all a trap!
…
Leng Zhiyuan thought about it carefully. She was totally the one at the losing end. Her father would not stop if she did not get married to Zhou Yao, and now she was at a critical point, and she did not have anywhere else to escape to.
She had to take the initiative to fight back, and she had to be the one in the lead.
After thinking for an entire night, she took her phone out to call a number the next morning.
The melodious ringtone rang twice, and the phone was picked up by a lazy voice from the other end. He had an air of satisfaction in his voice as he said, “h.e.l.lo, Young Miss Leng.”
He knew that it was her.
“Zhou Yao, let’s cut it short.” She did not have any expressions on her face as she spoke curtly.
“Okay.”
“Let’s get married then.”
“Oh?” Zhou Yao was smiling on the other end, and he did not respond as he quietly waited for her to continue.
“Let’s have a contract marriage, and the contract will end in three months. I think that it is extremely easy for you to get a fake marriage certificate to fool your grandfather and my father, and I do not think that it is not something difficult for you, right? After three months, we will separate and not owe one another anything.”
Zhou Yao was silent for a few seconds and said, “Why do I have to help you? When the three months end, it is easy for you to leave, but it would be hard for me. Don’t talk about my grandfather making it hard for me. Those people in the army are going to bury me alive with their saliva.”
“Sure then.” Leng Zhiyuan laughed and said, “Then we should not work with one another. Major General Zhou, I will wait for you to marry me in five days.”
Zhou Yao’s gaze became sharp, and he pursed his thin lips together without saying a single word.
“Major Zhou, I know that you do not want to marry me. Similarly, I also do not want to get married to you. Rather than bearing with each other to get through the days — oh, the days would also be hard to get by — I would definitely divorce you, and when that time comes, our ending would still be unglamorous. Our contract marriage would still leave some time for you, and I believe that with Major General Zhou’s abilities, you would be able to settle everything well in three months’ time. When that time comes, I will disappear, and Major General Zhou can create a fake death certificate. You would not lose out on anything at all.”
“Hah, Miss Leng has really thought it out so well.”
“Then are you going to agree or not?”
Zhou Yao paused for a few seconds before he laughed and said, “Although it is a fake marriage, I would need to ask Miss Leng to listen to all of my arrangements after you marry into my family. I do not wish for you to wreak havoc in my home.”
“Deal!”
…
Five days later, in the middle of the month, the wedding between the families Leng and Zhou was held in the midst of fire crackers.
The Leng family had reached T City a few days prior, and they stayed in a high cla.s.s villa. It was still in the wee hours of the morning, and the sky did not break yet. Leng Zhiyuan was pulled out of her warm bed. She was sleepy as she sat down before the vanity table as the makeup artist helped her to doll herself up.
After she was done with her makeup, someone placed a handmade phoenix crown on her head. It was sewn intricately. Her father Leng Mu and her older brother Leng Hao looked at her with tears in her eyes as they said, “Our Zhiyuan has finally grown up. Zhiyuan, you are the most beautiful bride on earth today.”
Leng Zhiyuan kept rolling her eyes. She moved her hand to pull the red cloth to cover her eyes, and it was better for her not to see all of this.
Very quickly, the people outside loudly shouted out, “Old Master, the new son-in-law is here. The son-in-law is here to pick his bride up!”
Leng Mu and Leng Hao walked out quickly.
Leng Zhiyuan was all by herself inside the room and was extremely bored. The wedding coordinator could not stop talking by the side of her ear. She could not eat anything and could not remove the red scarf covering her head on her own…
Leng Zhiyuan snorted out inside her heart. What generation were they in right now? They pretended they were still in the Minguo era; what were they trying to do?
This must definitely be the work of her father and Old Master Zhou.
She stood up, and walked over to the side of the door. She placed her right hand on the door handle before she gently opened a gap in the door.
