Chapter 277 Sorrow (First Watch)
The scandal involving Mi Xue had spread like wildfire, becoming the laughingstock of Haicheng during tea time and dinner conversations.
Mi Xue locked herself in her home, smashed everything in her room, her face twisted with ferocity as she exclaimed with hysterical fervor, "I won’t marry, I simply won’t marry that bastard Wanzi, not marrying, not even if I die."
That bastard Wanzi, by causing such a scene, just wanted to force her into marrying him, but she would not agree, she could not possibly agree.
Madam Mi let her daughter vent until Mi Xue had almost destroyed everything in the room, then approached with a heartfelt expression, "Xuexue, I know you’ve been wronged, but the newspapers out there are depicting you disgracefully, and I have no other choice. Young Master Jiang may have a bad reputation, but other than that, his prospects are not bad. Be a good girl, after the marriage, if you can keep Young Master Jiang’s heart and stop him from misbehaving out there, this marriage will be impeccable."
The Jiang family was also a well-known and prominent household in Haicheng. However, Young Master Jiang, indulging in all sorts of pleasures, was notorious in high society, not to mention the least favored in the Jiang family—in short, an outcast, not a good match for marriage.
If not for Xuexue being at the center of the scandal, how could she possibly consider letting Xuexue marry Young Master Jiang to mitigate the scandal’s damage to the Mi Family?
"Mom, do you know who orchestrated this newspaper scandal? It was him, Jiang Ruiwan. He had someone knock me out and take those photos of me. I was still wondering what he was up to, and it turns out he wanted to marry me. Mom, he has ruined me, and now he wants to marry me, is that possible?"
Madam Mi’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this, "So it’s Young Master Jiang himself who wants to marry you. That makes things much easier."
With the scandal already out, there was no other solution but to marry Young Master Jiang.
"Mom, I won’t marry." Listening to Madam Mi, Mi Xue was on the verge of losing her mind, "Mom, aren’t you the one who cherishes me the most? You won’t disregard my feelings and make me marry into the Jiang family, right?"
