Kapitel 32: Signing The Marriage Certificate Part 2
The three men's sight instantly shifted to the girl. Finding her expression as impassive and expressionless as before, they secretly sighed in relief.
It's good she isn't affected...
The next moment, their gazes turned cold.
They weren't born yesterday so how could they miss the malice and scorn in the three women's tone?
They hadn't come to see a patient.
They came to mock and ridicule the girl until she broke and shattered and could no longer get back on her feet.
"Sisters-in-law, that's enough. Yue'er isn't in the condition for this sort of talks." Li Chen's voice held faint hints of anger. If they weren't his brothers wives, he would've directly kicked them out.
But whether the three middle-aged women failed to catch his barely restrained anger or purposely ignored it was unknown.
Because they disregarded his words and continued their rant.
Aunt Hong turned to Li Chen with a sad and pained expression on her face.
"Brother-in-law, this is the perfect time to discuss such matters. If we delay for too long, then the entire New World Formation will gossip about the disfigured and disabled daughter of business tycoon Li Chen."
"Brother-in-law, Sister Hong is right. If this matter isn't settled soon, then our Qing Qing is going to become a laughing stock. But don't worry. I spoke to Mu'er already and he's ready to marry Qing Qing even with her disfigurement and disability." Aunt Si's eyes brightened as she dreamed of possessing all the Li Industries.
With Li Qing Yue now ruined, Li Chen will do anything to hide his daughter's shortcomings. In such a case, won't he hand her all his wealth to raise her value?
Heh...as such, she could only sacrifice her wonderful son to marry the disabled and disfigured girl and possess her wealth. After a few years, she'll find him a beautiful mistress to keep on the side and appease his anger.
Aunt Mei looked at the two women parroting their sons with dark eyes.
If she had a son...
Her eyes shifted to the silent, bandaged Li Qing Yue and a mocking sneer graced her lips.
Li Qing Yue, Li Qing Yue...you were once a proud phoenix overlooking the masses. Now you're nothing but an ugly chicken. How does it feel to fall from grace and be stomped underfoot?
Aunt Mei once hated the girl for possessing more than she could consume. With the proposal of Commander Long's son, her hatred only increased.
But now that the girl was in a more miserable and wretched situation than the poorest beggar on the decadent alleys, her earlier resentment receded by a large margin.
With her out of the way...her daughter will now have a chance!
"Brother Li, I agree with the few madams. After Qing Qing's situation spreads, the TeleSecs aren't going to remain silent. They will make all sorts of nonsense and exaggerate her condition. We must take a step to shut them down for good." Long Hongwu's cold voice made the three women blink and turn to the side.
It was only now that they noticed the other two's presence.
"Brother Long, what do you mean?" Li Chen looked at the other in confusion.
"What I mean is..."
But before he could complete his sentence, the three Aunts' astonished shriek resounded in the room.
"Co...Commander Long?"
Commander Long was here? To visit this wretch?
Their eyes filled with fiery resentment and they glared at the innocent Qing Yue like she was an abhorrent criminal.
'What did this ugly wretch possess to deserve the Great Commander's visit?'
They darkly thought, but plastered sweet smiles on their faces.
"Qing Qing is truly lucky. Commander Long personally came to visit you in such a condition." Aunt Hong forced out through clenched teeth.
"That's right. It's a matter of great fortune to be visited by the Great Commander. In the future, even if you are disdained and scorned for being useless by the public, you can be proud of getting the commander to pay you a visit." Aunt Mei sweetly added as her eyes turned to the young man on the side.
His aura and powerful presence aren't any weaker than Commander Long. Is he...?
As she swept her eyes between him and the commander, a light flashed in her eyes.
"Qing Qing, don't have any other thoughts. Commander Long came to visit you as your father's good friend. But the Li Family isn't shameless enough to push their burden on others. The future madam of the Long Family can't be disfigured and disabled. Otherwise, what will the public say? As humans, we must look at ourselves and know our place. We can't be shameless."
As Long Hongwu, Long Tian, and Li Chen heard the three women's words, their gazes turned even frostier.
Long Tian especially.
After seeing the girl's medical report, the last thing he wanted to hear was anyone calling her ugly and crippled.
And hidden behind their flowery words were sharp knives. The three aunts were blatantly telling Qing Yue to know shame and stop dreaming about becoming the Madam of the Long family.
Who were they to decide who can and cannot be the Madam of the Long Family?
Yei Yi secretly sneered.
Since Junior High, she'd been dreaming of witnessing such a scene. A day where Li Qing Yue would be scorned instead of revered, disdained instead of envied, and shamed instead of flattered.
But she never expected such a scene would arrive so soon and so unexpectedly.
Li Qing Yue...how do you feel hearing your own aunts call you ugly? Do you feel embarrassed and ashamed to be called an ugly cripple by your own aunts?
Heh...this is just the beginning!
However, just as she was fantasizing about seeing the great Li Qing Yue scorned and ridiculed by the entire LiLong Country, a frosty male voice resounded.
"Who said Qing Yue is a burden? As my future wife and the future Madam of the Long Family, it is only right that we visit and nurse her back to health. If we withdrew the engagement and went back on our word just because of a mere accident, then the Long Family will become a joke. Right, Father?"
As if doused with a bucket of ice water, Yei Yi's burning heart instantly chilled.
Fa...Father?
The Great Commander's son?
Her gaze shifted in the direction of the cold voice. The moment her sight fell on the man, her eyes went red with envy, jealousy, resentment, and deep hatred.
Why...? She's already so ugly and crippled, so why?
Why would an outstanding person like him still marry an ugly and worthless her?
Yei Yi couldn't understand and this made her hatred burn even deeper.
"Haha...Tian Tian is right! Qing Qing is no burden. She is the future madam of the Long Family. Why would we go back on our promise because of a mere accident? In fact Brother Li, before getting interrupted, I wanted to tell you to call up the lawyer. We'll have Qing Qing and Tian Tian sign the marriage certificate right here, right now."
"Brother Long, Little Tian..." Li Chen felt emotional.
His so-called family members came to shatter his daughter's will and courage. But Long Hongwu and Long Tian were willing to take her in even when she was disfigured and disabled.
"Bother Li, call your lawyer. Tian Tian will marry Qing Qing." Long Hongwu firmly said.
Li Chen turned to Long Tian who slightly nodded at him.
Weak with relief and gratitude, Li Chen lowered his head to hide the unshed tears in his eyes and opened his CellCom.
He wasn't planning on preventing his friend. Because he knew once his mind was fixed on something, he wouldn't relent until he reached his goal.
And for once, he was grateful for that.
"Lawyer An, draw up a marriage certificate in Long Tian and Qing Yue's name. Bring them with you to Long Medical Hospital within an hour."
"Yes, Mr. Li." With an audible click, the CellCom disconnected.
The private ward fell in dead silence as the three Aunts and Yei Yi's expression turned ugly.
At this moment, the envy, jealousy, and deep resentment buried in the recesses of their hearts were displayed through their eyes.
As the ancients once said, one's eyes were the window to their soul, and one would only see the true face of another when they were at their lowest.
The same case applied to Qing Yue.
As she watched the hideous faces of her Aunts and Yei Yi, an intense urge to kick herself in the head surged in her heart.
Why didn't she see their hypocritical mask before? Why did she only see it now when her marriage...
"Wait, ma...marriage certificate?" Wide-eyed and shocked speechless, she looked at the three men in the room in confusion.
What was that again?
Who was getting married?
