Chapter 572 - Better? (1/2)

Zhao Ming was speechless seeing the difference between the girl and the man she was supposed to marry.

The girl seems to be young and looked around 17-18 years old while the man seems to be around 30 years old.

Even Ji Cheng is younger than him.

When the girl stood in the center, she was intimidated by Gao Lin and his father's hostile gaze. She stood there while her father passed her gaze to agree to the marriage, she seemed to ignore him and stared at Zhao Ming.

This made Zhao Ming's brows rise in surprise. Even though the girl looks weak and intimidated, she has a personality to never adjust to the situation.

This time, Ji Cheng glanced at her and signaled her to go ahead. Since the girl is here, he doesn't want that girl to be scared of him.

It's better for Zhao Ming to ask that girl about the situation.

Zhao Ming smiled and nodded as she understood the meaning of his gaze.

She looked at the girl and asked calmly, ” Xu Hua, right? You tell me, why did you refuse to marry him?”

She doesn't remember the name of the guy, so she didn't use his name.

Gao Lin glanced at Xu Hua when Zhao Ming asked this question. His expressions turned gloomy as he said, ” Your Majesty, what can be the reason? You're asking this bitch about the reason? Because of her my reputation has been ruined.”.

” Everyone is talking about how a girl played with me. How can you ask her such a question? What's the need? We're the ones who brought this complaint against them, so she just needs to marry me, her life will be much better if she marries me. But it seems like she has found some bastard that's why she has refused to get married” The man sneered while looking at the girl in a disgusting way.

His words were way harsher than his father's.

Zhao Ming glared at him and said in a monotonic voice, ” Did I ask you the question? How dare you interrupt my words? Don't forget that it's a court. Mind your behavior otherwise, it won't be any good for your family. Did you get that?”

A faint smile appeared on Ji Cheng's face hearing her words.

The man pursed his lips after being scolded by Zhao Ming.

The girl smiled at Zhao Ming and felt comfortable seeing the man scolded by Zhao Ming.

” Your Majesty, I..I didn't do anything wrong. The marriage has been fixed without my permission. I wasn't asked about it before my father fixed this marriage.” She said in a low voice but her eyes never left Zhao Ming.

” Hah. You're a girl, why would your father take your permission?”

” Is this girl some stupid or what? She wants her father to ask before fixing her marriage?”

” I think Gao Lin is right. This girl indeed has someone and has made a cuckold of him. ”

Zhao Ming pursed her lips when she heard other people's whispers. They never shut up even if they're in court.
