Uncle Li sighed faintly. He placed the engagement proposal in front of Jiujiu and said, "Take a look at it first. I'll ask Old Master if he has time to come back soon."
Jiujiu took the documents from Uncle Li and nodded obediently.
Seeing how obedient Jiujiu was, Uncle Li sighed again and turned to contact Mo Yuan.
The next night, Mo Yuan appeared at the dinner table.
Mo Yuan ate his dinner elegantly as usual. He was so handsome that he looked like a duke from ancient times. He was extremely elegant.
On the other hand, Jiujiu finished the food in front of her absent-mindedly. She looked like she had a lot on her mind.
After the two of them finished eating, Uncle Li sensibly led everyone out.
Mo Yuan sat on the sofa and looked at Jiujiu, who was sitting opposite him. He said, "I heard from Uncle Li that you wanted to see me?"
Jiujiu nodded her head vigorously. "Can I know why you insist on getting engaged to me? If you want me to agree to the engagement, at least I have the right to know. "
Jiujiu's eyes were big and bright. She looked straight at Mo Yuan and asked with confusion written all over her face, "I don't understand."
Looking at Jiujiu's face, which was no different from his sweetheart's face, Mo Yuan's face was once again mesmerized. He looked at Jiujiu and said infatuatedly, "Because I like you and want to be with you forever?"
When she heard Mo Yuan say that he liked her, the confusion on Jiujiu's face froze on her face. Her lips moved and she shook her head. She denied it. "Brother Mo Yuan, I'm really, really grateful that you brought me out of that place. But I'm not stupid. I can feel that you don't like me. Since you don't like me, why are you getting engaged to me?"
In response to Jiujiu's confusion, Mo Yuan asked directly, "If I don't like you, why would I travel thousands of miles to bring you out of that place?"
After saying this, Mo Yuan added, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You should prepare for the engagement."
At first, Mo Yuan's words sounded reasonable. But after thinking about it carefully, there was no logic to it at all.
Jiujiu lowered her eyes. She did not look at Mo Yuan and said, "You know that I'm not letting my imagination run wild. Your eyes already tell me that you don't like me."
"I don't like you?"
Hearing Jiujiu insist that he did not like her, Mo Yuan instantly became impatient.
Mo Yuan looked at the disappointed Jiujiu sitting opposite him, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his elegant and handsome face.
Mo Yuan raised his hand to stroke his hair. He took a deep breath and said, "So what if I don't like you? Isn't it normal to repay a life-saving favor by marrying yourself? " Mo Yuan stood up and looked down at Jiujiu. His eyes were filled with determination. "I brought you out of that place and saved your life. Shouldn't you marry me?"
In response to Mo Yuan's words, Jiujiu strongly retorted, "I can't repay you for saving my life. Giving myself to you is a saying from ancient times. This isn't ancient times anymore, so we can't do this."
Mo Yuan turned a deaf ear to Jiujiu's words. He only said to her, "Get ready for the engagement."
Jiujiu: "…"
Mo Yuan's return this time was the same as before. He did not give her any room for negotiation. Whether it was the engagement or other matters, it was all decided by Mo Yuan himself.
Whatever Mo Yuan said was right. If he didn't say anything, then he was nothing.
Seeing that Jiujiu's expression was so ugly, Mo Yuan's expression softened a little. His tone was gentle as he discussed with Jiujiu, "The engagement is a big event. Do you want me to invite your parents?"
"I won't agree to it." Jiujiu looked at Mo Yuan stubbornly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Engagement and marriage are very sacred things. Both parties must like each other and both parties are willing to get engaged. But you don't like me at all, yet you insist on getting engaged to me. Don't you think it's ridiculous? What kind of person do you take me for? "
"You're my fiancée."
"But you don't like me at all."
Hearing Jiujiu say that he didn't like her again, Mo Yuan's voice could not help but become louder. It was as if as long as his voice was loud enough, he would really like Jiujiu as much as he said he liked her.
"I said that I like you."
After Mo Yuan said the last sentence, he seemed to be tired. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead that was hurting from the argument with Jiujiu. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to rest. Get ready for our engagement."
After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs.
Jiujiu stayed there for a long time.
It was not until the wee hours of the morning that she went upstairs in a daze.
Uncle Li, who had been watching by the side, saw Jiujiu's expression and felt very upset.
Mo Yuan and Jiujiu could have talked things over nicely, but because of their stubbornness and lack of communication, it turned into this difficult situation.
Mo Yuan said that he would invite Jiujiu's parents over. At first, Jiujiu thought that Mo Yuan was just joking. But unexpectedly, on the third day, she saw He Daqiang's family in the villa.
It was obvious that Mo Yuan had been giving He Daqiang's family money all these years.
Ten years had passed, but He Daqiang and Li Meihua looked even younger than ten years ago.
Li Meihua, who could give birth to a beauty like Jiujiu, had a good foundation. Now that she had Mo Yuan's money to support her, she was willing to spend money on maintenance. She was almost forty years old, but she looked like she was in her thirties. She had a special charm.
As for He Daqiang, because of the money, although his originally dark red skin did not become as white as Jiujiu's, it returned to its normal color and looked particularly healthy.
Among the three of them, the worst was the youngest, He Fugui.
Even when they were living in the mountain village, He Daqiang and Li Meihua spoiled He Fugui. When Mo Yuan was willing to provide for him, He Daqiang and Li Meihua continued to spoil He Fugui.
As for He Fugui, He Daqiang and Li Meihua treated him as if he was a treasure in their hands, afraid that he would fall or melt in their mouths.
When He Fugui was in the mountain village, he had developed a bad habit of giving whatever he wanted. If he did not give, he would make a fuss. After He Daqiang became rich, He Fugui saw more things and became more overbearing.
Moreover, He Fugui had a crazy obsession with meat and fried food.
He ate fried chicken and drank coke almost every meal.
It was okay to eat these things occasionally, but if he ate them every day, it would be strange if he did not get fat.
Moreover, He Fugui was especially pampered by He Daqiang and Li Meihua. Every day, other than eating and drinking, he played with his phone and computer. He was not even fifteen years old, but he was as fat as a big ball. Jiujiu suspected that if she kicked him, He Fugui would directly roll out of the house.
