Chapter 657 - 272nd game (part 2)
Ning Lixuan shook his head and said, "It’s impossible. My parents have said that even if I don’t marry that wicked woman, they won’t let me marry Qinglian. Since I can’t marry Qinglian, who I marry doesn’t matter! If that wicked woman wants to marry me, let her marry me, as long as she doesn’t regret." The last sentence was spoken through clenched teeth.
Guan Jingshuo had originally had a fairly good impression of Ning Lixuan, but after hearing these words, he decided not to deepen their acquaintance. If one had the courage, one should resist to the end. Clearly being unable to resist and coveting others’ benefits while venting his anger on an innocent person, Ning Lixuan’s character was truly lacking.
Guan Jingshuo now understood why Yueyao was meddling in this matter, but if the young lady of the Luo family were to marry Ning Lixuan, the outcome would definitely be tragic.
Bai Yi felt the timing was about right, so she didn’t let them continue listening. She first took Yueyao out, then went back to lead Mingzhu out.
There was no light in the room, and as soon as Yueyao stepped out, she was blinded by the light outside and squinted her eyes. Turning around and looking at Mingzhu’s pale face, she hugged her and said, "It’s okay. You haven’t married him yet, no need to be angry."
Mingzhu’s hand gripping Yueyao’s, she uttered word by word, "I want to see, I want to see."
After thinking about it, Yueyao said to Bai Yi, "Let Mingzhu have a look! Just hearing it isn’t enough to make one believe without seeing it with one’s own eyes."
Bai Yi led Yueyao and Mingzhu to the door, and just as they reached it, they heard Ning Lixuan inside saying, "Cousin, why can’t I marry Qinglian? If I could marry Qinglian, I would be willing to give up twenty years of my life."
Guan Jingshuo consoled him, saying, "You’re drunk, stop drinking." Guan Jingshuo really wanted to jerk his arm free from Ning Lixuan who was grabbing his sleeve. A man should face challenges and strive, not just complain, and even push responsibilities onto others. Such a person really disgusted him.
Ning Lixuan, unwilling to give up, poured himself another glass and raised it, saying, "Drink today while there’s wine, cousin, let’s drink to that."
