Capítulo 33: Signing The Marriage Certificate Part 3
Qing Yue looked at the three men in confusion.
Would anyone please tell her what's going on here? Weren't they chatting nice and well?
Why had the situation suddenly come to her marriage?
"Da...Dad, marriage?" She hoped he'd say she'd misheard. She hoped he'd say it was someone else's marriage.
Unfortunately...
"Yes, Yue'er. Little Tian and you will sign your marriage certificates today. Then after your discharge, you'll go to your new home, the Long Mansion." Li Chen's eyes practically glowed as he spoke about his daughter's marriage.
His gaze shifted to the stunned Qing Yue and a despondent look appeared in his eyes.
He wasted 18 years of his daughter's growth wandering in a hazy mist of a past long gone. Now that he broke out of the mist and saw the light, he realized the little child he held in his arms had already sprouted into a young sapling.
She was a woman getting married.
A woman that would leave for her own home.
From this day forth, the Li Mansion will no longer be the same...
"B...Brother-in-law, aren't you being too hasty with Qing Qing's marriage?" Aunt Mei clenched her fists so tight that her pointy nails dug into the skin of her palm. Bursts of pain shot from the center, a sure sign of a possible injury.
But she ignored the pain and glared at the girl that was bent on devouring all her happiness.
This da** girl's greed knew no bounds.
Wasn't the Li Industries enough wealth? But no, she now wanted to become the Madam of the Long Family as well.
"Qing Qing, you're still injured and won't be able to hold a pen. Give it a few days and it won't be too late to sign." Yei Yi smiled brightly and sneaked a peek at the man on the side.
Such a good man would be wasted on a crippled and ugly girl like Li Qing Yue.
After a few days, I'll make sure the whole TeleSecs disparage and degrade her until she hates her very existence!
By then, it won't be too late for me to become Madam Long.
In the span of a few days, Yei Yi's goals had completely changed.
She no longer wanted to marry the Li cousins. She wanted to marry the Great Commander's only son, Long Tian, and become Madam Long.
After all, if a homeschooled, tasteless, and unsophisticated person like Li Qing Yue could become Madam Long, then why couldn't she?
And now that she was crippled and disfigured, Yei Yi felt she was a hundred times better than Li Qing Yue in every aspect.
"That's right. That's right. Matter's like marriage shouldn't be rushed. Qing Qing, just concentrate on getting better. After you recover, the elders will meet and the marriage will be fixed on a good day." Aunt Hong moved forward to grab Qing Yue's bandaged hand but found Long Hongwu stoically fixed beside her and embarrassedly drew back.
Wretched girl! What's so great about her for the Great Commander to stand guard like a mother hen protecting her chick?
She's just an ugly and disfigured wretch!
Aunt Hong felt an urge to shout the words and open the Great Commander's eyes. But at the last moment, she held herself back.
The man was already standing over the wretch like a bodyguard. If she said something like that out loud, then wasn't she just asking to be beaten?
"Qing Qing, don't worry. A few days won't be too long. When you recover, you can also wear your wedding dress and look...beautiful." Though faint, Aunt Si's stutter plunged the room into an awkward silence.
As if not understanding what she'd done, she innocently blinked and looked right and left with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Li Chen, Long Hongwu, and Long Tian felt their hearts chill.
The impeccable speed and ease with which the women changed faces and tones made them astonished.
If such women surrounded Qing Qing, how miserable would her life be?
Just a second ago, they cried and shed tears at her state, even going so far as to hypocritically present their sons as groom material. But the moment Long Tian and Qing Yue's marriage was brought up, they changed tones and advocated to delay the marriage until she recovered.
Rather than family, it was more appropriate to call them white-eyed wolves.
"Sisters-in-law, it was you who brought up Yue'er's marriage first. Why are you saying to delay it now?" Li Chen mockingly asked.
The three women clenched their fists and practically screamed;
Of course, it's because we don't want her to marry the Great Commander's son!
But they suppressed their violent emotions and wore sympathetic and pitiful expressions.
"Isn't because we were worried about Qing Qing that we brought it up? But now that Great Commander Long and Young Master Long are willing to stand by Qing Qing's side until the end, we are relieved. So, there's no need to rush the marriage. Let Qing Qing get better first, right Qing Qing?"
Immediately, all the gazes in the room focused on Qing Yue.
At this moment, Qing Yue was just thinking about the irony of the entire situation. In her previous life, she was to wed the Crown Prince on her 18th birthday.
In this life, she was signing her marriage certificate on her 18th birthday as well.
Could she still consider this another coincidence?
When the roomful of eyes suddenly focused on her, she only blinked and stared back.
"Ahh...Is there something on my face?"
"Cough!" Amused and embarrassed, Long Tian suppressed his laugh with great difficulty.
Unexpectedly, he found her clueless expression quite endearing. Her clear, bright violet eyes made her seem like an innocent, untainted, pure child.
On the other hand, Yei Yi and the three Aunts suppressed the rage brewing in their hearts and stiffly smiled.
They felt that the wretch was purposely humiliating them for calling her ugly and disabled.
Hmph! An ugly person is truly an ugly person. Even their personality is rotten!
"Qing Qing, stop playing around. The elders are discussing an important matter, and yet, you're fooling around. When are you gonna grow up?" Yei Yi righteously reprimanded with the intention of impressing a certain man with her mature demeanor.
But the certain man's brows furrowed at her words and a trace of distaste flashed through his eyes.
Under the strange atmosphere, the door clicked open, and a man in an office suite walked in.
"Mr. Li, I've prepared the marriage certificates of Young Master Long Tian and Young Mistress Qing Yue. Please, check the documents for any mistakes." As Li Chen's personal lawyer, lawyer An was familiar with both Long Tian and Qing Yue.
Their marriage was fixed by their fathers before they were even born. As such, he wasn't surprised by such an outcome.
"Wait, wait! When did I say I want to get married?" Qing Yue's hoarse voice filled the room and all heads instantly turned to her.
Li Chen incredulously looked at his daughter. "You don't want to marry?"
