Chapter 31: Signing The Marriage Certificate Part 1
Once again, the men in the room were shocked speechless.
Qing Yue's words were like a clap of thunder.
That's right. Unless one gave the words of others great importance, at the end of the day, they were nothing more than mere air blowing through their ear.
The people in the room knew this. But it wasn't until they heard Qing Yue say it that they saw the light.
In this society where the new generation placed high importance on others' opinions and views of them, it was difficult to maintain a mindset where they could brush off and not allow themselves to be affected by any unpleasant comment or remark.
So Qing Yue's words made the men feel refreshed and ashamed of their own shortsightedness. Rather than give importance to what others thought, they should reflect more on themselves.
"Qing Qing, Uncle Long has nothing else to say. I can see that you are more clear-minded about what's important than us, so I'll stop worrying needlessly. However, I want you to make me a promise. From now on, no matter what happens in the future, you'll never forget the words you said today." Even though he was relieved, Commander Long still worried she'd be shaken under the fierce onslaught of society's vicious remarks.
Li Chen understood his friend's worries and felt gratified.
With Long Hongwu supporting her, his Yue'er would never suffer the scorn of society alone.
"Your Uncle Long is right. From now on, you must live according to the words you said today. Never give strangers' words the power to make your life miserable. As for the rest, leave it to us." Li Chen looked at his daughter and felt his heartache.
In the 18 years they'd lived together, this was the closest they'd ever come to having a normal conversation.
"Don't worry, Dad. You too, Uncle Long. Yue'er treasures her life too much to take it lightly." Qing Yue promised.
"Hmph! That's not what it seemed like to me." Long Tian coldly snorted.
"You, who are you again?" Qing Yue didn't miss the disdain in the man's eyes. She didn't even know him, so what gave him the right to look down on her?
Long Tian froze, not expecting the question.
Li Chen and Long Hongwu exchanged glances and decided to keep their silence. They wanted to see where the two's conversation will head.
"Didn't I already introduce myself?" His face was cold and emotionless, making Qing Yue unconsciously glance at the two other men.
Why did it seem like she was surrounded by cold and emotionless individuals? Although Uncle Long could be considered more of a fierce and ruthless individual...
Turning to the icy-looking man, she blinked, then wrinkled her brows in confusion.
"You probably did. But as you can see, I'm not in a condition to remember. But your eyes, they look familiar...hmm, I might have seen you somewhere, but where?" Qing Yue looked him up and down and tried to recall where she'd seen his eyes.
But even after an entire minute had passed, she still couldn't remember him.
"I can't be blamed. The accident was too horrific." She smiled sheepishly and looked upward.
She was too embarrassed to continue looking.
"I am Long Tian, your Uncle Long's son and your fiancé. I'm also the one that got you out from the burning hover." Long Tian scowled, displeased at the girl for failing to remember his name even when he'd introduced himself.
"Ah! I remember! You're the one that rescued me from the fire!" Qing Yue exclaimed without warning.
This made the two men look sympathetically at the cold-faced Long Tian.
The girl hadn't heard anything he said...
Long Hongwu smirked, his eyes flashing with amusement as he looked at his son and turned to his future daughter-in-law with approval.
A few days ago, his stubborn son was still adamant about not marrying a stranger.
Yet on the first introduction, she'd gotten him to introduce himself as her fiancé. If his heart hadn't already accepted her, then he would've never made such an introduction.
Just as I thought! Qing Qing will definitely set him straight!
On the other hand, Long Tian felt his vein throb in annoyance. He'd clearly and loudly said his name, but the girl before him didn't hear him...?
As he looked at her excited eyes in exasperation, he couldn't help but doubt his decision to marry her.
Was he too hasty in making such a promise?
"Didn't I just say that I was the one who pulled you out from the hover?"
"Ah? You did? Sorry, it must be the medication. I can't seem to focus on one topic for too long..." Qing Yue awkwardly smiled. The medicine was truly getting to her.
Qing Yue couldn't remember when she'd ever spoken so casually to a stranger before. Even with Tang Fang, whom she'd known for more than 2 years, she maintained a subtle distance.
But this stranger she didn't know didn't even feel like a stranger.
He felt...as close as Uncle Long and her Dad.
Her brows inadvertently furrowed as she pondered on the thought.
"Qing Qing, are you okay!?" Right at this moment, the private ward's door opened and Yei Yi came in looking flustered and worried. As if blind to the men in the room, she tearfully ran over to the foot of her bed.
"Qing Qing, how can you be so careless? You almost died! Do you know how horrible your accident was? The TeleSecs are reporting you as a disabled and disfigured girl. How are you going to live in a chair with a horrid face for the rest of your life? How will you come out in public with such an unpresentable appearance?" Yei Yi shed tears like she was the one disfigured and disabled for life.
Her distraught cry was heart-rending enough to make anyone's heartache. The only thing was, her words were jarring to the ears. They were nothing of the type one would say to a patient.
Yei Yi's eyes flashed with a malicious gleam as she covered them with her hand and sneered.
Haha...Li Qing Yue, so what if you survived the accident? With such an ugly face and useless legs, I want to see how you're going to continue acting arrogant!
"Qing Qing, what do we do? Your entire life is ruined! In this condition, what man will marry you? What kind of man will accept an ugly and useless woman as a wife?"
At this moment, the door opened again and more people streamed in.
"That's right, Qing Qing. No perfect man would marry an ugly and useless wife. Even if you have money and get multiple surgeries, your beauty will never restore to the way it was before. On the contrary, you'll become known as the knife beauty."
"That's right, that's right. Sigh, at this point, you can only rely on your relatives. Although Heng'er and Mu'er will be at a disadvantage, they'll reluctantly accept you because you're their cousin."
"Sigh, you're ugly but as your relatives, we can reluctantly accept you as our daughter-in-law."
Scornful and disparaging, the pitifully spoken words were anything but kind.
