Chapter 73: Chapter 73: I Do Not Agree with This Marriage
But the visitor was none other thanâŠ
It was Zhong Qizhen!
He stepped into the hall with a warm smile, carrying a heavy chest of gifts.
âUncle Chen, Auntie.â
Seeing the handsome Zhong Qizhen, Chen Yuqiu nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Qimin was delighted: âI told you, Young Master Zhong is excellent, didnât I?â
âHandsome and courteous, he looks like a gentleman.â
âAnd his family background, cultivation, and sect are all top-notch choices.â
Zhong Qizhen feigned modesty: âUncle, Auntie, youâre too kind, may I ask which one is Siling?â
He followed Liu Qiminâs gaze.
A beautiful young girl in a pink dress with a pear blossom hairpin, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, appeared before him.
Her delicate and beautiful face, her flawless, dewy skin.
And the enticing curves that even the dress couldnât hide.
All made Zhong Qizhenâs eyes light up.
He had originally been resistant to this marriage proposal.
Now, he wished he could accept it right away.
Such a beautiful woman was hard to find.
Liu Qimin asked expectantly, âYoung Master Zhong, what do you think of my daughter?â
Zhong Qizhen swallowed a breath of saliva and did not spare any praise: âSiling is a beauty, gentle and quiet, I like her very much.â
In his heart, he didnât believe the Chen Family was worthy of him.
Who was he?
A disciple of Green Cloud Peak with endless future potential.
Such a humble Chen Family, worthy of marrying me?
But if the Chen Family offered such a beautiful daughter for him to have fun with for a few days, why not?
Once he was bored, he could just kick her away.
What would the Chen Family dare do to him?
Hearing such an evaluation,
Liu Qimin was secretly pleased.
Knowing that the marriage could be settled.
As for Chen Silingâs opinion, she ignored it completely.
In a large family like the Chen Family, childrenâs marriages were not up to them.
She signaled to Chen Yuqiu to step forward and make the decision.
Chen Yuqiu looked at Chen Siling with a guilty expression.
Seeing her head lowered, her red lips tightly bitten, unable to make a decision.
He turned to Jiang Fan and said, âYoung Master Jiang, what do you think?â
Before making a decision,
letâs see what Jiang Fan had to say first.
If Jiang Fan acknowledged this person as worthy of a lifetime commitment.
Then Chen Siling might give up.
Liu Qimin frowned slightly, not understanding why the head of the family had invited Jiang Fan to be a judge.
He was just an in-law of the Xu Family, did he have such an important role?
She said without expression, âYoung Master Jiang, please judge fairly, do not cause trouble because of any personal connection with my daughter.â
If judged fairly, she was confident that Zhong Qizhen would pass.
Such an outstanding person, how could Jiang Fan find any fault?
Chen Siling, however, raised her head, biting her red lips slightly, looking at Jiang Fan with pleading eyes.
Unfortunately, Jiang Fan disappointed her.
He calmly wrote a note: âI will evaluate impartially and objectively.â
At this moment,
Zhong Qizhen finally noticed Jiang Fan and Xu Youran.
He was taken aback: âJiang Fan? Why, why are you here?â
Chen Yuqiu looked at the two in surprise and asked, âWhat, does Young Master Zhong know Young Master Jiang?â
Panicking inside, Zhong Qizhen quickly spoke before Jiang Fan could: âI met him once when I accompanied my master to the Xu Family.â
He gave Jiang Fan a vicious glare without leaving any trace.
Meaning for him to shut up and not say anything.
Then he asked with a face of curiosity, âUncle Chen, isnât today my and Silingâs matchmaking day?â
âWhy was he invited?â
Since he asked, Chen Yuqiu did not hide it.
âYoung Master Jiang, having met countless people, has extraordinary skills, I invited him to judge on Silingâs behalf.â
âTo see if Silingâs matchmaking partner is truly a perfect match.â
What?
Jiang Fan was the judge for this matchmaking?
His face turned increasingly panicked, deeply regretting.
Had I known this, why did I tease Xu Youran just now and make an enemy of her?
Chen Yuqiu, unaware of his changed expression, patted him on the shoulder with a smile: âBut you are so outstanding, Young Master Jiang couldnât praise you enough.â
âRight, Young Master Jiang?â
Jiang Fan smiled slightly.
He wrote a note: âAppearance, cultivation, family background, sect, all impeccable, all first-class.â
Seeing such an evaluation,
Chen Yuqiu nodded slightly.
As expected.
Liu Qiminâs face lit up with joy, thinking: âAt least this so-called Jiang Fan knew his place, not to spoil the Chen Familyâs good fortune.â
Chen Silingâs delicate body shivered, her rosy cheeks visibly turning ashen, her eyes hollow and vacant.
She felt only despair.
The only chance of overturning the situation was ruthlessly extinguished by Jiang Fan.
This felt like a stab to her heart, unbearably painful.
An anxious Zhong Qizhen exhaled a sigh of relief, giving Jiang Fan a contemptuous glance, inwardly saying: âWorthless, I knew you didnât dare to oppose me!â
âBut if you think Iâll let you off like this!â
âUnless you sensibly send Xu Youran to my bed, let me have enough fun, otherwise donât think Iâll go easy on you in the competition!â
Chen Yuqiu laughed and spoke.
âSince Young Master Jiang saidâŠâ
But, he suddenly stopped.
Because Jiang Fan had produced another note, which left everyone stunned.
âHowever, his character is extremely poor, truly a scumbag!â
Xu Youran, who had been holding her breath, finally released it.
She had truly thought Jiang Fan gave a passing evaluation.
As her best friend, she didnât want to see Chen Siling be harmed by a despicable scum.
Chen Silingâs hollow eyes gradually refocused, her face rapidly brightening with joy.
She cast Jiang Fan a deeply grateful look.
Liu Qiminâs face darkened, saying, âYoung Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?â
Just when things were about to succeed,
Jiang Fan suddenly played this card?
Jiang Fan expressionlessly wrote: âExactly as written!â
âIn summary, Zhong Qizhen is impressive on the outside but rotten within!â
âIf you marry Chen Siling to him, it will ruin her life.â
Chen Yuqiu was stunned.
He knew Jiang Fanâs identity.
As a distinguished Three-Star Soul Master, his status was assured, he had no reason to slander a stranger.
He looked at Zhong Qizhen with a more skeptical gaze.
Liu Qimin couldnât accept it: âYouâre lying!â
âZhong Qizhenâs reputation in Biliu City is well-known, how could he be so disreputable according to you?â
âYoung Master Jiang, itâs better to destroy ten monasteries than ruin one marriage, donât slander so casually!â
Jiang Fan couldnât help but shake his head and sigh.
He wrote: âSlander?â
âMrs. Chen, why not ask in a certain shop on the street, how the bridegroom of your eyes teased my wife, insulted my wife.â
âEven threatening me to force my wife into compliance!â
âSuch a person, would you still want him?â
What?
Chen Yuqiu exclaimed: âIs this true?â
Xu Youran stood up, her face angry but reverent: âUncle Chen, if you do not believe Fan, you should believe in my character?â
âI swear on my honor, everything Fan said is the absolute truth.â
Now Liu Qimin was shocked too.
As her daughterâs only best friend, Liu Qimin knew Xu Youranâs character all too well.
Well-educated, gentle and pure, she would never stoop to lying.
Never especially on matters concerning oneâs integrity and morality!
Xu Youran added: âIf you still do not trust me, you may summon the shopkeeper and the clerk to form an open confrontation.â
With words said to this extent, what else could be doubted?
Chen Yuqiu was enraged: âYoung Master Zhong, while matchmaking you still tease other women?â
âWhat do you take my daughter for? What do you take my Chen Family for?â
âThis marriage, letâs drop it!â
âShow him out!â
Liu Qimin stared at Zhong Qizhen with disappointment: âYou let me down too much, leave and never come back to our Chen Family!â
Zhong Qizhen could never have imagined.
The marriage he had almost secured was destroyed by Jiang Fan!
He had intended to block Jiang Fanâs path to joining the Green Cloud Sect.
But his own marriage was interrupted by Jiang Fan first!
âWait!â Zhong Qizhen suddenly shouted, pushing away approaching servants.
He glared at Chen Yuqiu angrily: âItâs not over yet!â
