"If you don't have anything to do with her, why did you agree to the engagement? You saw Chen Lanying's photo at that time. You must have thought she was pretty, right? " After Jiang Yao finished speaking, she snorted sourly. "I saw Chen Lanying. She was indeed pretty."
"What's so pretty about her? I can't even remember what she looks like now! " When Mom sent me the photo, I didn't see it at all. Fourth Brother took the photo and showed it to his buddies one by one. Coincidentally, I had something to do at that time, so I left the school before the photo was returned to me. When I came back, Fourth Brother, that idiot, had lost the photo. I didn't know which book it was stuck in. When Mom asked me about it, I casually asked Fourth Brother what Chen Lanying looked like. He said that she was just so-so, so I agreed. "
Lu Xingzhi agreed at that time because he felt that with the way his mother was tormenting him, he would have to marry a daughter-in-law sooner or later anyway. He wanted to marry someone his mother liked so that there wouldn't be any conflict between his mother and his daughter-in-law. As for whether they got along well, he didn't care at all. After all, he was in the army and didn't intend to bring anyone here to live.
At that time, he only had one thought. He wanted to marry someone who got along well with his family. If they really had to have a child, then so be it. He would have peace after handing over the task to him. It was fine as long as the child's mother wasn't too ugly. If the child was born with an ugly mother, then it would be over. With his temper, if he saw that the child was ugly, he probably wouldn't even be able to dote on the child.
"To put it bluntly, my idea at that time was to marry a daughter-in-law and leave her at home to take care of Mom and Dad. So no matter if Mom liked Chen Lanying, Chen Hongying, or Chen Lvying, as long as she wasn't ugly, I would basically agree." Lu Xingzhi was very frank about this. "Wife, you were still young at that time, so I didn't dare to think about marrying you. At that time, I didn't even think about marrying you. That's why these things happened. After I thought it through, didn't I resolve this matter very quickly?"
Jiang Yao replied faintly, "Oh, you're the one who solved it? Didn't the Chen family look down on you and reject you as their future son-in-law? In my hometown, you are equivalent to half a second-hand good! "
In a place like the countryside, people who broke off the engagement wouldn't have a good reputation. People would say that there was something wrong with the engagement, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. Therefore, Jiang Yao's words weren't excessive.
Lu Xingzhi's heart felt stifled, and all sorts of feelings surged in his heart. "I pretended to be disabled so that the Chen family would take the initiative to break off the engagement. Wife, are you despising me now?"
There was an indescribable sense of pity in his last question. His tone was almost the same as the last time in Rong County. Other than pity, there was also a hint of grievance.
It was rare for Lu Xingzhi to procrastinate when it came to the Chen family's matters. It was rare that he didn't resolve it quickly and decisively.
"I asked the Chen family to take the initiative to break off the engagement for the sake of the bride's family and Chen Lanying. I don't like Chen Lanying. To be honest, my previous attitude and thoughts toward Chen Lanying were inappropriate. If I were to break off the engagement myself, it would damage the Chen family's and Chen Lanying's reputations. I hate dealing with the trouble that comes after. It's also considered giving the Chen family a chance.
