Chapter 634 Her Final Decision..
"Marry me."
Everyone heard these shocking words from Jiang Yuyan.
Lu Feng couldn"t believe Jiang Yuyan herself said it and stood there speechless, looking at her in a shock.
It shocked others too, but Su Hui and Qin Xiu while elder Lu didn"t even look at Jiang Yuyan as if he was expecting it to happen. He was sitting calmly, leaving the things at destiny.
"Yuyan!" Ning Jiahui and Mo Ruolan exclaimed together but before they could say anything, Jiang Yuyan finally moved her sight up to look at shocked Lu Feng and said again, "Marry me, Lu Feng."
Not replying to her, Lu Feng turned to look at his mother, "Are you happy now, mother?"
Lu Feng"s sarcastic words startled Su Hui, as she thought her son would be happy to see the girl he liked is ready to marry him, but from his reaction, it looked the otherwise.
"Lu Feng, it"s…."
"Finally, you were successful in cornering her and made her say it. You left no option for her. Can you even imagine how painful it is for her," Lu Feng asked interrupting his mother, his eyes teary and his voice heavy.
"I didn"t force her, Lu Feng…."
"You did mother and see, this is the result." Pausing for a moment, Lu Feng continued looking at his mother with a site filled with hate, "I will not marry her. Did you hear me, mother? I will not and I will see who dares to force her to leave this house." Lu Feng declared.
"I will, Lu Feng because I can"t let the widow be in our house," Su Hui was still stubborn.
"Then you can forget you have two sons," he said as there was no other way to deal with his mother.
"Lu Feng, you…."
Ignoring his mother, Lu Feng turned to Jiang Yuyan. "You don"t have to do this Yuyan. I will make everything right, just hang on for some time."
Jiang Yuyan didn"t react to his a.s.suring words and said, "Please marry me, I am begging you."
Seeing her so pressured to do the things against her will, Lu Feng felt his heart sunk somewhere deep in the ocean. Not having a word to say as he didn"t want to say no to her pleading, Lu Feng turned to leave just to hear his mother.
"Lu Feng, tomorrow morning be at the temple. The wedding would be then and there."
"You can force her, but not me, mother." Saying, Lu Feng left, but there was no change in Su Hui.
Turning to look at Jiang Yuyan, Su Hui asked, "Yuyan, are you sure about what you just said?"
Before Jiang Yuyan could answer, her mother spoke, "She is not in the right state of mind. She will not….."
"I am ready to marry Lu Feng," Jiang Yuyan spoke, her sight fixed on the floor, tears making their way out.
"Yuyan, don"t be in a hurry. We can think about it later," Ning Jiahui suggested.
Ning Jiahui had no problem with Jiang Yuyan marrying Lu Feng as she knew Lu Feng was a nice person and someone closer to her late son and Yuyan, but for her, this was not the right time to let it happen. Moreover, she didn"t want Jiang Yuyan to take a decision under any pressure.
"What"s there to think about later, elder sister. It would be better to get it done sooner, for her and for our family"s sake," said Su Hui.
Seeing the things won"t change as Jiang Yuyan herself was ready for the wedding, Mo Ruolan suggested, "We can get it done when we are in the city as we have to register the marriage there. Just going to the temple is not enough to call it a wedding. It won"t be legit."
Mo Ruolan wanted to buy some time, but Su Hui was adamant about her decision.
"What is the problem with the wedding in the temple? In the old times when there was no registry process, people married in the temples and blessings from the lord buddha and master in the temple were enough. Our ancestors got married like this and we all are here," said Su Hui.
"Su Hui, now the time has changed. To make a marriage legit, we need to register it first," said Ning Jiahui.
"But we still believe in old costumes, elder sister. Look at father and mother, they got married in the temple. Are you saying their marriage is not legit?" Su Hui asked, and her words left others speechless.
"Father-mother, are you not going to say anything?" asked, Ning Jiahui, hoping that elders will say something, but she got disappointment in return.
"Let her go back with her mother. That"s my final decision," said elder Lu.
Grandma, who was not happy with elder Lu"s decision before about sending Jiang Yuyan with her mother, now understood why her husband was so determined to send her away from the family and agreed with him.
"I will be in the temple in the morning," saying Jiang Yuyan left before she could have to give up in front of elders.
Her words were the final decree and no one had a say in it. Mo Ruolan knew, if her daughter had decided to do it, no one can change her decision so she didn"t try to convince her and neither did Ning Jiahui.
Jiang Yuyan went back to her room and closed the door. Leaning at the door with her forehead resting on it, Jiang Yuyan continued crying. She forgot that someone was in the room who was awake and looking at her to know why she was crying.
Getting out of the bed, Lu Lijun went to her and shook her hand. Wiping her tears, Jiang Yuyan looked at him and Lu Lijun took her to the bed by holding her hand. He didn"t ask her what happened and signaled her to sit on the bed.
As Jiang Yuyan sat at the edge of the bed, he fetched a gla.s.s of water for her. Accepting, Jiang Yuyan had it while still sobbing and tears rolling down her cheeks. Lu Lijun took the gla.s.s from her and getting closer, he hugged her.
