Chapter 187: The Old Matriarch
Hearing my words, Xiaohuan nodded, slowly let go of me, and walked up carefully.
The old matriarch’s eyes fell on me, and I felt exceptionally uncomfortable all over, feeling as if I had been forcibly grabbed by the neck. The pressure was truly too great. This was perhaps the pressure of a superior.
Seeing her granddaughter, the old matriarch showed a rare smile on her face, gently touched 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 scared.
The old matriarch nodded and said: "Xiaohuan, the name Xiaohuan is good, you will be called Xiaohuan from now on!"
Immediately after, the old matriarch looked at me under the stage and said: "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, someone, 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 move against me, and I subconsciously dodged hurriedly.
Zheng Yun hurriedly said at this time: "Old Matriarch, don't be anxious first, Zheng Lao has already explained things, Zheng Lao left a letter before he left, please take a look!"
As he said 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 lowering their heads, fearing they would touch the old matriarch’s brow. At the same time, they were also suspicious of what was written in the letter that made the old matriarch so angry.
However, after a while, the old matriarch felt better. She looked at me under the stage, then looked at Xiaohuan and asked: "Xiaohuan, you are still young now, you don't understand what love is at all. You might just be looking for freshness now, but you are a girl, you have to 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 wished 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 was also very helpless, then put her gaze on me and said with a cold face: "Your name is Yang Yun, right?"
"Yes!" I bowed to the old matriarch respectfully and said.
"You come over!" The old matriarch beckoned to 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, no one dares to act wild in the Zheng family!" The old matriarch snorted coldly and said.
"That is, that is, and don't look at who the old matriarch is, and 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, and you still dare to meddle, it’s really ungrateful!" A man who looked similar to Zheng Yun said hypocritically from the side.
This guy should most likely be Zheng Yun’s brother or something, but the intrigue between brothers was so intense, I really didn't understand what these rich people were thinking.
Zheng Yun and his wife were red in the face with anger, wanting to continue saying something, but the old matriarch on the stage said impatiently: "Alright, all shut up, you argue as soon as you come back, am I here to listen to you argue? If you disturb my granddaughter, you will have a hard time!"
Hearing this, the people below all lowered their heads 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 relatively old, judging from her appearance, she must have been 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, pressing me so hard that I couldn't breathe. I only felt sweat dripping from behind from time to time, and it was no wonder that these people in the Zheng family were all afraid of her.
The old matriarch beckoned to me and said: "Why are you standing so far away, come, come to my side!"
I withstood the pressure and walked slowly to the old matriarch’s side. The old matriarch looked at me carefully, then nodded and said: "Indeed not bad, you look indeed much better than my few useless children, no wonder Old Zheng would praise you so much!"
"Old Matriarch is joking, Grandpa Zheng is too flattering!" In the old matriarch’s eyes, I didn't dare to be too inflated.
The old matriarch suddenly thought of something, patted her thigh and said; "You have the surname Yang, you are called Yang Yun, you wouldn't be?"
Speaking of this, the old matriarch suddenly stopped, thought for a long time, then said to me: "Who are your parents?"
"I don't know, I grew up in an orphanage, I have no parents!" I said.
Hearing my words, the old matriarch’s eyes suddenly changed, without the previous sharpness, and a bit more softness. Then she gently held my hand and said excitedly: "Good child, you have suffered for so many years, live in the Zheng family with Xiaohuan from now on, as for your and Xiaohuan’s marriage, let’s pick a day to decide later!"
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 one after another. It was said that women were fickle, but this was too exaggerated!
However, Xiaohuan was overjoyed to hear about the engagement, and hugged the old matriarch happily and said: "Grandma, thank you so much!"
I looked at the old matriarch in a dilemma and said: "Old Matriarch, this wouldn't be very good, right? Xiaohuan is still so young, and I already have a girlfriend. Aren't you guys randomly matching a couple?"
Xiaohuan heard that I had a girlfriend, and was like a deflated ball, exceptionally disappointed on her face. Then she grabbed my hand and cried and said: "Brother Yang Yun, you are ungrateful, I clearly saved you, you have to marry me, you can't marry other women, we agreed to repay 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 said hurriedly.
"There’s nothing to explain about this matter, I decide this matter, I say let you get married, then you get married, whoever dares to object is going against me!" The old matriarch stood up directly, smashed the ground with her cane, and shouted angrily. ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
