Chapter 669 - The Bride Kidnapping (1/2)
Qi Waner said, “Old Master Zhao, I think Aunt Chu is right. I just want to pursue my own happiness. Zhao Hongkun is indeed good, but he is not my type.”
Seeing that his granddaughter refused the marriage repeatedly, Qi Guofan could no longer control his anger. He did not dare to vent his anger on Chu Xuanyue, but he had no scruples about Qi Waner. He slammed the table and shouted, “If you dare to refuse this marriage today, you will not be a member of our Qi family in the future!”
After all, Qi Waner was a girl. At this time, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they flowed down freely.
“Grandpa, why are you forcing me like this? I just don’t want to marry Zhao Hongkun. Is there anything wrong with that? I’ve told you long ago that I already have my own man. It’s you who insisted on getting me to break up with him. Do you want to blame me?”
The whole room was in an uproar. Qi Waner’s words stimulated many people’s emotions. It turned out that Qi Waner already had a man. She just said that he was her man, not her boyfriend. The meaning of this was beyond words.
Zhao Cangqiong’s face became gloomier. He turned his head to look at Qi Guofan and shouted, “Old Qi, you must give our Zhao family an explanation today.”
These aristocratic families valued their faces more than their lives, but today, the Zhao family had been slapped repeatedly in the face.
Qi Guofan was so angry that he slammed the table again. “You will be the death of me. Qi Waner, are you shameless?”
At this time, Zhao Hongkun stood up and said, “Please calm down. Let me deal with this matter by myself.”
Both Qi Guofan and Zhao Cangqiong stared at each other. They were obviously furious, but they had nothing to do with it. Even if they really drove Qi Waner out of the Qi family, their reputation would be completely lost. They were afraid that they would not be able to raise their heads in front of other aristocratic families in the future.
At this time, when Zhao Hongkun took the initiative to take the responsibility, they did not speak, which meant that they acquiesced to it.
Zhao Hongkun turned around and said to Qi Waner, “Waner, my true love for you is worth witnessing. On the contrary, the person you are talking about is still missing. It can be seen how timid he is. Is this the kind of person who is worthy of your sacrifice?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately gained the approval of all the people present.
If Qi Waner really had a man and if the man was really better than Zhao Hongkun, why didn’t he show up? Why didn’t he come to take the bride away?
Could it be that he was afraid of the power of the Zhao family and the Qi family? If so, this kind of man with no backbone was not worthy of Qi Waner and all that she was doing for him.
Qi Waner did not speak and a handsome figure gradually appeared in her mind.
“Will he come? I really can’t hold on any longer. I want to find someone to rely on!”
Qi Waner secretly said in her heart.
Zhao Hongkun smiled proudly. If he could conquer Qi Waner at this moment with his own intelligence and wisdom, not only would the impact of today’s engagement party be reduced to the minimum, but it would also leave a good impression on his grandfather.
He continued to say, “Waner, in other words, there is no such person at all. It’s you who made up a lie to deceive us. It’s just because you don’t want to be engaged to me.”
After saying this, even he himself believed in this speculation.
Qi Waner bit her lip and said, “I am not lying to you!”
Zhao Hongkun sneered and said, “In that case, do you dare to say the name of that person? Let everyone know who he is.”
“Of course I dare!” Under the gazes of all the people present, Qi Waner said clearly, word by word, “His name is Qin Haodong!”
After she said this, the others were still calm, but Chu Xuanyue spat out the tea in her mouth.
“What’s going on? Waner likes my son. Is she my daughter-in-law?”
However, other than herself, almost no one had ever heard of this name.
From the reaction of the people present, Zhao Hongkun could feel that this was a nameless person. He said with a proud face, “Waner, as you can see, no one knows his name. How can this kind of person compare with me?”
Qi Waner said, “Indeed, you can’t compare with him. There is a huge difference between you two.”
“Nonsense!” Zhao Cangqiong said angrily, “Even if you search the whole capital and the whole Huaxia, no one can be better than my grandson!”
Zhao Hongkun had been repeatedly snubbed by Qi Waner. He finally lost his patience and shouted angrily, “Qi Waner, you’ve been supporting that man from beginning to end. Call him out if you can. I’ll break his legs today.”
“Is that so? You have to have that ability!”
As soon as Zhao Hongkun finished speaking, a cold voice came from a distance. The voice did not seem to be loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone.
“It’s him. It’s Haodong’s voice. Did he really come? Is he really going to take me away?”
