367. Chapter 367: No Refusal Allowed

Hearing that, Qiao Sheng looked at Leiming and said, "I feel a bit dizzy in my head, but I don't feel any pain…"

"You've been lying down for so many days; the dizziness is inevitable. Rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Leiming's voice was neither loud nor soft as he spoke.

He didn't wait for Qiao Sheng to say anything.

Leiming continued, "Xiaoyue, I don't want to wait any longer. Let's get married; after we're married I'll treat you well, and I'll treat your mother and the others as I would my own family."

After saying that, he reached his hand toward Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng instinctively stepped aside.

Leiming, sounding a bit hurt, said, "Xiaoyue, do you no longer like me?"

"I…"

Qiao Sheng pressed her lips together and said, "Leiming, I don't remember what happened before, and I don't want to marry you under these circumstances."

Leiming heard her say that.

Leiming, his emotions flaring, shouted, "If you can never recall what happened before, will you never marry me? Xiaoyue, is that fair to me?"

It was at that moment.

The old woman from earlier entered, carrying a bowl of medicine.

"Yue'er, you can't treat Leiming that way."

The old woman came over, handed the medicine to Qiao Sheng, and said, "Yue'er, Leiming has been waiting for you for several years; if he weren't determined to marry you, why would he still not have married you by now?"

Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to say anything.

The old woman, refusing to be denied, said, "Alright, your marriage is settled; once the auspicious date is chosen, you'll be married."

Is she really her biological mother?

She herself does not want to.

Yet she forces her to marry now.

Qiao Sheng still hasn't said anything.

The old woman said to Leiming, "Leiming, go back now and make preparations; I'll handle the matching of the eight characters."

Leiming nodded.

Their disregard for her feelings made Qiao Sheng feel very uneasy; that's why she's uncomfortable now, otherwise she would have definitely left already.

When Leiming left, Qiao Sheng pulled the quilt over her head.

The old woman, seeing her like that, said a few words to her and then left.

Half an hour later.

Voices could be heard from outside.

"Madam, has Yue'er woken up?"

"She's awake, but she's amnesiac, and she's very cold toward Leiming, even saying she doesn't want to marry him now…"

"This child…"

Not long after, a sound came from the doorway.

Qiao Sheng sat up and saw a frail man, looking about fifty years old, walk in from outside.

"Yue'er, do you still remember father?"

The man opened his mouth and asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng shook her head.

The man came to the bedside, sat down, sighed, and said, "It's all my fault; if I were healthier and earned more money, you wouldn't have to work so hard for our family."

Qiao Sheng said nothing.

The man lifted his gaze to her and said, "Yue'er, we've delayed you for so long; we can't delay you any further. After a few days, you'll marry Leiming."

"Father, is this how you all want me to get married?"

Qiao Sheng voiced the thoughts she had been keeping inside.

The man's expression paused, and he said, "It's not that we want you to marry; the problem is you're no longer young, and you can't stay unmarried forever. Moreover, Leiming has been waiting for you for so many years; how can we keep making him wait?"

"Father, I don't want to marry now."

Qiao Sheng declared loudly.

Without waiting for the man to say anything.

Qiao Sheng asked about who was in the household, what her full name was, and what everyone's names were.

The man replied, "Your mother and I had two children: one is your elder brother, the other is you. Your elder brother is already married; today he went back to his wife's family with his wife and child, and hasn't returned yet. I am Jing Jizong, your mother is Zhang Meilan, your elder brother is Jing Tao, you are Jing Yue, your sister‑in‑law is Yang Chunhua, and your nephew is Jing Dabao…"
