Chapter 543 Becoming Godparents (1)_1
Zhao Junchao’s idea was too harsh, and Zhang Shiqian didn’t dare, "This won’t work..."
"What’s wrong with it? You’ve been harmed by that wretched person to end up like this, not to mention marrying Li Baolian, even daughters of ordinary families wouldn’t want to marry you, right? You have this chance to marry her, and you still don’t hasten to do it! Li Baoxiang has already broken his arm, and it’s hopeless for him to pass the imperial examinations in the future. Are you still afraid of him?" Zhao Junchao sneered.
Zhang Shiqian still hesitated, "If the Li family doesn’t agree... Sister Lian, she also... she used to like you." Speaking of this made him uncomfortable.
"I did that to help you!" Zhao Junchao frowned, "Who knew that Li Baolian would also be so vain and greedy, showing me such eagerness upon hearing of my family’s wealth. Didn’t I also reject her, always speaking well of you? If you still like her and want to marry her, you go ahead and do it. If you don’t want to marry her, I’ll leave it to you as well!"
"Sister Lian... she... isn’t that kind of person," Zhang Shiqian said with a furrowed brow.
"If you think she’s good then marry her! Anyway, your marriage prospects are not looking good now. Rather than marrying just anyone, why not marry her? Without a successful examination, the Li family has become rather ordinary! There’s no need to fear them anymore," Zhao Junchao thought contemptuously, but only this fool thought highly of Li Baolian, believing that she wasn’t vain and greedy.
Zhang Shiqian really wished, deep down, to marry Li Baolian. Yet he feared the method was too insidious and that Li Baolian would hold a grudge against him, making their marriage an unhappy one. But once the idea of marrying Li Baolian took root in his heart, he felt compelled to achieve it. This concerned his entire future!
Upon returning to the town, Zhang Shiqian began to pay attention to Li Baolian, who was staying at the Sun Lizheng family’s household.
