C85 Engagement (1/2)
Important things?
Seeing that the old tutor was more serious than ever, everyone hurriedly listened attentively.
The old man's voice slowly sounded in the hall, ”Before Eighteen, Mr. Lin Gudu's master and Ying Xue's father arranged a marriage. Everyone must have thought of it, it was about Ying Xue and Lin Gudu.
Whoosh.
The silent crowd was like boiling water.
”What?” Ying Xue is engaged? ”
”Is there a mistake in letting big sister marry that bumpkin?”
”Grandfather, we don't agree!”
The people of Song Family, who were initially not at peace, all had the same opinion this time. That was, they were opposed to the marriage agreement between Lin Gudu and Lin Gudu.
A bumpkin actually wanted to marry away the Song Family's daughter?
What kind of joke was this?
Do you think this is a fairy tale?
Don't even think about it.
Song Yingxue was as important to the Song Family as her mother, Han Fangyun. She had inherited her mother's talent for business, and under her care, the Fang Yun Group became more and more powerful.
The most important thing was that since this poor guy married Song Yingxue, Song Family would definitely pay him with a large dowry. This was money for everyone, so why would they give it to an outsider?
At this time, they had completely forgotten about the hundred billion yuan worth of benefits that Lin Gudu had given to Song Family when he dealt with Wang Family.
”All of you, shut up!”
Just as the people were discussing amongst themselves, Song Zhenhong suddenly roared loudly, shocking the entire hall.
”Of course, there are a few elders in the family who are in charge of this matter, it's not your place to say anything. Alright, boss's Lao Er, what do you think?” Song Zhenhong looked at his two sons, Song Baiqing and Song Baiyang.
Song Yingxue's father was called Song Berlin, but she had lost her life in a car accident five years ago. Therefore, the more prestigious direct descendants of the Song Family were the two sons of Song Zhenhong, the eldest, Song Baiqing, and the elder, Song Baiyang.
Song Baiyang took the initiative to say: ”Father, this matter is inappropriate, it has now become a new society. What they advocate is freedom of marriage and freedom of love, the Lao San was confused then, what marriage agreement they made, it is not worth advocating, it is also meaningless, thus, this matter has nothing to say, it must be annulled, so this marriage, there is simply no way it exists.”
This fellow hated Lin Gudu to death in his heart. If Lin Gudu really became his nephew and still wanted to divide up the Song Family's family property, he might as well take his life.
The eldest Song Baiqing, on the other hand, was much more rational, and was not as excited as before: ”Father, I am opposed to this marriage. Ying Xue is different from the other disciples of the Song Family, she is now in charge of the Fang Yun Group, and a large portion of the affairs of our Song Family are also left to her, so, her marriage is not a matter for himself, but the entire Song Family, if it were any other young talents, they could consider it, but this Lin … ”What sir, it's obvious that it's not suitable for the snow to show.” ”
Forest... What?
It was impossible for him to not recognize Lin Gudu, but to purposely say it with such a humiliating tone was already very clear.
And that word ”not worthy”, Ying Xue, had even stepped on Lin Gudu as if he was a pile of mud.
That's right, our Song Family is high and mighty. Even if we look down on you, what can you do?
Hearing these unpleasant words, Han Fangyun stood up excitedly: ”Big bro, second brother, what do you mean by this? The marriage between Ying Xue and Xiao Lin was agreed upon personally by Berlin. If the Song Family were to get married, wouldn't that mean that the Song Family would go back on his word? If this news were to spread out, it would not be good for Song Family's reputation, right? ”
”Sister-in-law, your thoughts are too old-fashioned …”
Song Baiqing was about to retort, but he was stopped by the old man.
Song Zhenhong said: ”Alright, enough arguing. Regarding this matter, let's see what Mr. Lin Gudu has in mind.”
Swoosh.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Gudu.
He had no expression on his face. He held a pair of chopsticks in his hand as he ate slowly, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
He thought to himself, the dishes cooked by the chefs in Song Family are really the best. At least this dish of stewed prawns have a very high standard.
It was as if he did not see those dozens of gazes.
Song Yingxue glared at him fiercely a few times, but he remained indifferent. All she had in her eyes was the stewed prawns in front of him.
The people of Song Family all revealed disdainful smiles.
Hmph, a bumpkin is a bumpkin. This is probably the first time he is eating prawns in his life. Look at his appearance of a reincarnated hungry ghost, is there any difference between him and a beggar?
Song Yingxue could not take it anymore and stepped on him hard with his foot under the table.
”Hey, why are you stepping on me …” Lin Gudu anxiously raised his head, and just happened to meet dozens of gazes.
In fact, he really did not do it on purpose. After his Cultivation Level was crippled and his veins were completely destroyed, not only did he lose his strength, his reaction and sensitivity had become ordinary. Thus, if he were to focus on a dish, he would easily be able to filter out everything that was happening around him.
”Why are you all looking at me? It would be a waste not to eat such a good dish! ”
Song Zhenhong had thought that he was pretending to be stupid, and immediately became angry: ”Lin Gudu, I want to ask, what thoughts do you have towards this marriage?”
Lin Gudu put down his chopsticks and squinted his eyes slightly, thinking, since you already have the answer, why do you need to ask me?
”I don't have any ideas. Right, what you mean is that you want me to take the initiative to end the engagement, so as to not affect Song Family's reputation, right?” Lin Gudu looked at everyone and said calmly.
