Madam Guo saw Chu Lang standing still and continued to smile, "Mr. Chu, why stand there motionless? There’s no need to be shy, everyone here is family. We all know about your desire to marry Ruomei, so please, take a seat."
At these words, the room fell silent.
Duke Dingguo and Governor Guo’s faces darkened simultaneously, while Guo Xueming was shocked to the point of disbelief, staring at Madam Guo.
Initially upon seeing Chu Lang, Xiao Yeyang’s expression had merely darkened, but upon hearing Chu Lang’s intention to marry Guo Ruomei, he stood up abruptly and questioned Guo Ruomei, "Are you truly going to marry..."
"Cough cough cough~"
A series of violent coughs timely interrupted Xiao Yeyang’s words.
Seeing Daohua coughing so violently that her face turned red and she struggled to breathe, Xiao Yeyang was terrified and sat down hastily, carefully patting her back while urgently commanding someone to summon a doctor.
Daohua coughed while waving her hand, "No need... for a doctor." Saying this, she tugged on Xiao Yeyang’s sleeve, "Water..."
Xiao Yeyang quickly poured her a glass of water and tenderly helped her drink it.
Having drunk the water, Daohua’s coughing subsided, and she looked around apologetically at everyone in the room, "I’m sorry for disturbing everyone’s mood, please, go ahead with your meal."
Governor Guo came to his senses and hurriedly urged everyone to eat, signaling the butler to invite Chu Lang to sit down.
If Chu Lang were to leave today, there would surely be a rift between him and his sister.
Seeing Madam Guo trying to stir up trouble, Guo Xueming forcefully stopped her, pleading with her, "Mother, if you want your daughter to live well in the future, please stop causing trouble."
Madam Guo: "Foolish girl, your mother is venting for you!" Seeing that Xiao Yeyang was calmed by Yan Yiyi, she felt extremely unwilling in her heart.
It was all the fault of that detestable Yan Yiyi, ruining her plans.
Had Xiao Yeyang’s questioning been voiced, no matter whom the younger sister chose to side with, it would have hurt the other party, and neither would have hoped for a good future.
Guo Xueming: "Marriage is fated by the heavens. If the daughter hasn’t ended up with her cousin, it means she and he are not destined, Mother, please don’t dwell on this matter anymore, I beg you."
Looking at her daughter’s pleading face, Madam Guo felt both angry and powerless.
Suddenly, Madam Guo felt two sharp glares upon her and, looking up, she saw her father-in-law giving her a disgusted glance and her husband staring at her coldly.
Madam Guo shuddered and finally regained her senses. Thinking of her father-in-law’s affection for the younger sister and the importance he placed on Xiao Yeyang, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
