Chapter 186: The Old Matriarch's Dominance
Hearing my words, Xiaohuan nodded, slowly let go of me, and walked up carefully.
The old matriarch's gaze fell on me, and I felt exceptionally uncomfortable all over, feeling as if I had been grabbed by the throat, the pressure was truly too great. This was perhaps the pressure of a superior.
The old matriarch saw her granddaughter, and a rare smile appeared on her face. She gently patted Xiaohuan's head and said: "Tell Grandma, what is your name?"
"Hello Grandma, my name is Zheng Huan, everyone calls me Xiaohuan!" Xiaohuan's speech was clearly a bit cautious and a bit afraid.
The old matriarch nodded and said: "Xiaohuan, the name Xiaohuan is good. From now on, you will be called Xiaohuan!"
Immediately after, the old matriarch looked at me under the stage and asked: "Who is this person?"
"Grandma, his name is Yang Yun, and he is also my husband!" Xiaohuan said this shocking thing directly in front of many people.
Sure enough, hearing this, the old matriarch's face turned black instantly, and she shouted angrily: "Where did this bastard liar come from? Even daring to lie to my granddaughter! Come here, drag him out and execute him!"
Hearing this, four people appeared beside me instantly, their speed beyond my imagination. These four people came over and wanted to make a move on me, and I instinctively dodged hurriedly.
Zheng Yun hurriedly said at this time: "Old Matriarch, don't be anxious yet. Zheng Lao has already explained everything. Before Zheng Lao left, he left a letter, please take a look!"
Saying this, Zheng Yun hurriedly handed the letter I gave him earlier to the old matriarch.
The old matriarch took the letter and looked at it, then threw the letter on the ground and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! I think that old fellow Zheng Linming is crazy. Does he know what he is doing?"
The people below didn't dare to say a word, all keeping their heads down, fearing they would touch the old matriarch's temper. At the same time, they were also puzzled about what was written in the letter that made the old matriarch so angry.
However, after a while, the old matriarch felt a bit better. She looked at me under the stage, then looked at Xiaohuan and asked: "Xiaohuan, you are still young now, you don't understand at all what love is. You might just be looking for freshness now, but you are a girl, you must be careful of people with bad intentions, especially men. Men are not good things!"
"No, it's not like that. I know what love is, isn't it just sleeping together? And Brother Yang Yun is a good person, and Grandpa is also a good person!" I now wish I could go up and block Xiaohuan's mouth directly. This guy's words were truly too scary.
The old matriarch saw that persuading Xiaohuan was ineffective and felt very helpless, then put her gaze on me, looked at me with a cold face, and said: "Your name is Yang Yun, right?"
"Yes!" I bowed respectfully to the old matriarch and said.
"Come here!" The old matriarch waved at me.
Hearing this, Zheng Yun hurriedly said: "Old Matriarch, Yang Yun is an outsider after all, I think you should!"
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. This is the Zheng family, and no one dares to act wild in the Zheng family!" The old matriarch sneered and said.
"Exactly, exactly, and don't look at who the old matriarch is, you come to meddle in other people's business. This time you went to handle things for so long before coming back, and I haven't even had the heart to talk about you, yet you still dare to meddle, truly ungrateful!" A man who looked similar to Zheng Yun beside him said hypocritically.
This guy should most likely be Zheng Yun's brother or something, but even brothers were so intriguing; I truly didn't understand what these rich people were thinking.
Zheng Yun and his wife were so angry that their faces turned red, wanting to continue saying something, but the old matriarch on the stage said impatiently: "Alright, all of you shut up. As soon as you come back, you argue. Am I here to listen to you argue? If you disturb my granddaughter, you'll have a hard time!"
Hearing this, the people below all kept their heads down and no one dared to speak.
And I also walked to the old matriarch's side at this time. This old lady, although she was older, judging by her appearance, she was definitely a beauty who could topple cities and countries when she was young. Sitting on the grandmaster chair, the temperament she exuded was like an empress, suppressing me so much that I couldn't breathe. I only felt sweat dripping down from behind me from time to time, and it was no wonder that these people in the Zheng family were all afraid of her.
The old matriarch waved at me and said: "Why are you standing so far away? Come, come to my side!"
I withstood the pressure and slowly walked to the old matriarch's side. The old matriarch examined me carefully, then nodded and said: "Indeed not bad. You look indeed much better than my few useless children, and it's no wonder Old Zheng would praise you so much!"
"Old Matriarch is joking, Grandpa Zheng is too flattering to me!" In the eyes of the old matriarch, I didn't dare to be too inflated.
The old matriarch suddenly thought of something at this time, patted her thigh and said: "You have the surname Yang, your name is Yang Yun, you wouldn't be?"
Speaking of this, the old matriarch suddenly stopped, thought carefully for a long time, then said to me: "Who are your parents?"
"I don't know, I grew up in an orphanage since I was young, I have no parents!" I said.
Hearing my words, the old matriarch's gaze suddenly changed, without the previous sharpness, and there was a bit more softness. Then she gently held my hand and said excitedly: "Good child, you have suffered for so many years. From now on, you will live in the Zheng family with Xiaohuan. As for your and Xiaohuan's marriage, let's pick a day later to see and decide!"
Hearing this, I was completely stunned. What was all this? Wasn't she very unhappy with me just now? Now why did she want to marry her granddaughter to me again? This was simply changing faces every moment. It was said that women were fickle, but this was too exaggerated!
However, Xiaohuan was overjoyed to hear about the engagement, and she hugged the old matriarch directly and said happily: "Grandma, thank you so much!"
I looked at the old matriarch in a difficult situation and said: "Old Matriarch, this wouldn't be very good, right? Xiaohuan is still so young now, and I already have a girlfriend. Aren't you guys randomly matching a mandarin duck?"
Xiaohuan heard that I had a girlfriend, and she was like a deflated ball, exceptionally disappointed on her face, then grabbed my hand and cried: "Brother Yang Yun, you are ungrateful. Clearly I saved you, so you must marry me, you can't marry other women. Didn't we agree on repaying with your body? You are not allowed to go back on your word!"
"No, Xiaohuan, don't cry first, listen to my explanation!" I wiped the tears from the corner of Xiaohuan's eyes and hurriedly said.
"There's nothing to explain about this matter. I have the final say in this matter. I say let you get married, then you get married. Whoever dares to oppose is going against me!" The old matriarch stood up directly, slammed her cane hard on the ground, and shouted angrily. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
