Chapter 247: Marriage Proposal!

Translator: Lonelytree
When Gong Tianhao woke up from his sleep, he received a piece of shocking news. Yan Siming’s grandfather went to the Xiao family to propose a marriage!
‘Fuck, what on Earth is happening? Yan Siming’s grandfather is supposed to come to meet Grandpa. So, why has he gone to the Xiao Family to propose marriage instead?’
Gong Tianhao, who had always been calm and composed, seemed to be a little anxious at this moment.
A moment ago, he was still stabbing Yan Siming in the back. But in the next moment, Yan Siming shot him in the head, stunning him.
“Grandfather, what’s going on?” Gong Tianhao asked, “Why did Grandfather Yan suddenly go to the Xiao family to propose a marriage?”
Old Master Gong propped his hands on his walking stick and said with a serious expression, “I don’t know either. I’m going to the Xiao family to take a look now.” After he woke up, his former subordinate came to poach his granddaughter-in-law.
“We need to go now!” Gong Tianhao said anxiously.
Old Master Gong glanced at him and said in a bad mood, “You’re only anxious now? Let me tell you, Gong Tianhao, if your wife is really taken away, I’m not your grandfather anymore.”
Gong Tianhao said somewhat helplessly and domineeringly, “Grandfather, don’t worry. My wife is my wife. No one has the ability to take away my wife.”
Xiao Lingyu’s opinion was not included.
Old Master Gong was not going to let him have it easy. “That might be true but have you asked Lingyu’s opinion? I know that Lingyu is extremely wary of you.”
“…” Gong Tianhao said, “It’s fine. One day, she will marry me.”
“When will that day come?” Old Master Gong rolled his eyes. “Until the child is an adult?”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
“Let me tell you. You can wait, but I can’t,” Old Master Gong ordered, “If I can’t hold my eldest great-grandson after he is born, you are not coming back to the Gong Family!”
“Grandfather…” Gong Tianhao pleaded.
“Enough. I’ve heard enough out of you.” Old Master Gong said.
Gong Tianhao said, “Grandfather, if you don’t go to the Xiao Family now, your granddaughter-in-law will really become someone else’s granddaughter-in-law.”
Old Master Gong,”…”
…
Yan Siming stood in front of his grandfather with a dumbfounded expression. ‘Grandpa wants to help me propose a marriage to Xiao Lingyu?’
“Grandfather, you’re not joking with me, right?” Yan Siming asked in astonishment.
“Do I look like I’m joking? You bastard!” Old Master Yan looked at his eldest grandson. His face darkened, and he reprimanded him sternly,
“The girl’s belly is already so big, and you still want to escape from the responsibility. Yan Siming, in the past, I don’t care about your romantic life, but now that a child is here, I’ll cut off your third leg if you refuse to take responsibility!”
His sharp eyes deliberately swept across Yan Siming’s crotch.
Yan Siming felt a chill on his back and couldn’t help but clench his legs. The corners of his mouth twitched continuously. A helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face.
This morning, he wanted Xiao Lingyu to be his lover, but now his grandfather was forcing him to marry Xiao Lingyu.
“Yan Ruyu!” Yan Siming suddenly shouted at Yan Ruyu, “What’s going on?”
Yan Ruyu shivered.
Yan Ruyu swallowed her saliva and said nervously and fearfully, “I’m sorry, brother. I… I didn’t do it on purpose. I saw grandfather at the entrance of the village and thought that you called grandfather and asked him to come over to propose the marriage, so…”
“So you went behind my back to complain to Grandpa?” Yan Siming gnashed his teeth and said, “Yan Ruyu, you sure have gotten a lot more courageous.”
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly and explained, “Brother, it was an accident. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“As if!” Yan Siming shouted angrily.
“Enough!” Old Master Yan immediately reprimanded, “Since you were young, you had always bullied your sister! Stand up straight! What are you doing milling about in the grass anyway? Throw away the dog tail grass in your hand.”
Other brothers doted on their younger sister, but Yan Siming always made his cousin cry.
Yan Siming dropped the grass. Then, he stood at attention. The Yan Family had always used a military-style education.
Yan Zheng asked directly, “Yan Siming, tell me, what is your intention with the girl?”
“Sir, I…” Yan Siming was about to refuse, but he thought of something and said, “I’ll let grandfather arrange everything!”
“Yes, that’s right!” Yan Zheng nodded and said, “As a descendant of the Yan family, you have to do things properly. You have to have the courage to take responsibility. Since you’ve gotten the girl pregnant, according to the Yan family’s rules, you have to marry the girl and let the child be born legitimately.”
Yan Siming wanted to explain, “Yes, Sir!”
Since he had fallen for Xiao Lingyu, he might as well marry her. From now on, the child in her stomach was his child. Since everyone assumed the child in her stomach was his, he would go along with it.
“Alright then, let’s go to the Xiao Family!”
Father and Mother Xiao received the news at the farm that a rich man had driven several cars over. They wanted to ask for their permission to marry Xiao Lingyu. This shocked the old couple.
Who was this person? Who would be coming to propose marriage at a time like this? Mother Xiao and Father Xiao rushed home.
When they arrived, there was already a circle of people standing outside their courtyard. In the center of the circle were Yan Siming and his sister, as well as two old men whom they didn’t know.
The people outside the circle were discussing animatedly.
“Previously, we were still talking about how he got her pregnant and didn’t want to take responsibility. But now he’s already here to propose a marriage.”
“These people are rich.”
“Lingyu is blessed to marry a rich man. She’ll instantly become a rich lady.”
“That’s right. She’ll have plenty of maids and servants.”
“Xiao Lingyu is really lucky. Although she was betrayed by the Chen kid, she managed to get to know this rich young man.”
“Zhengyang and Qiuying are back!” The villagers immediately made way for them. Then, they smiled and said, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, congratulations on having such good in-laws!”
“In-laws?” Father and Mother Xiao were dumbfounded.
Then, they walked up to Yan Zheng and asked politely, “Old master, may I know who you are?”
Yan Siming immediately introduced, “Uncle and Auntie, this is my grandfather!”
Yan Zheng called out happily, “In-laws, hello. I’m Yan Zheng, the kid’s grandfather. We’re here because…”
“Ahem…” Father Xiao coughed twice and said, “Old Master Yan, why don’t we go inside first?”
Yan Zheng immediately looked around. This was indeed not a suitable place to discuss business. Yan Zheng smiled and nodded. “Okay, okay. Let’s talk inside!”
Father and Mother Xiao welcomed the guests into the courtyard. Some villagers who wanted to watch the show wanted to go in to take a look but were rejected by Mother Xiao. “I’m sorry. We have some important guests. We can’t let anyone else in at the moment.”
The villagers were naturally not so thick-skinned, so they did not enter the house.
Mother Xiao closed the courtyard door to block out the curious gazes from outside.
Then, she went to prepare tea.
After Father Xiao invited Old Master Yan to sit down, Old Master Yan looked around. The place was clean and tidy. ‘Yes, this family is not bad. At least they are not sloppy. The daughter that they raised should be diligent.’
However, Old Master Yan did not see any sign of the pregnant woman. He asked curiously, “In-law…”
Xiao Zhengyang immediately said, “Old Master Yan, my name is Xiao Zhengyang, and my wife’s name is Chen Qiuying. You can just call us by our names!”
He really didn’t want to be called in-laws.
Xiao Zhengyang thought of something and could not help but look at Yan Siming. ‘Yan Siming is a good-natured child, but he is too fickle. We are not going to marry Lingyu to him.’
“Alright, Zhengyang. I’m here to propose a marriage between our children.” Old Master Yan went straight to the point, “I understand what happened. Don’t worry. We will take responsibility. Although we didn’t bring the betrothal gifts this time, the Yan Family will make up for it tomorrow…”
Xiao Zhengyang immediately stopped him and asked, “Old Master, is there a misunderstanding?”
Yan Zheng frowned and was very puzzled. “Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?”
Xiao Zhengyang asked in confusion, “Old Master, can you tell me why you’ve come to propose a marriage?” As he said this, Xiao Zhengyang sized up Yan Siming. Yan Siming straightened his chest. He looked like he was ready to marry Xiao Lingyu.
Yan Zheng was slightly surprised.
This was completely different from what they had expected. However, Yan Zheng assumed this was because Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were angry at them because they only came after their daughter’s belly was so big. But was this their fault? Yan Zheng only found out about this today!
Old Master Yan said, “I heard that your daughter is pregnant with the Yan family’s child. As soon as I found out, I came over to propose the marriage. I have asked my brat about it. He said he’s willing to marry your daughter.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengyang was stunned. ‘Lingyu is pregnant with Yan Siming’s child? That’s impossible.’
Yan Zheng said, “Zhengyang, these young people are careless. This is an accident. But a small life is born from it. So, whether it was an accident or not, the Yan family has to take responsibility.”
Xiao Zhengyang finally understood.
Old Master Yan assumed Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with Yan Siming’s child, so he was here to propose marriage.
However, while Father Xiao didn’t know who fathered Xiao Lingyu’s child, he was sure it was not Yan Siming. Yan Siming was just someone his daughter picked by the roadside to pretend to be her one-night-stand partner.
Yan Siming was a good guy. It was because of his help that the Xiao family was able to live in peace. If he and his daughter were in love, it would be fine.
However, Father Xiao knew very well that Xiao Lingyu definitely did not have the intention to marry Yan Siming. Furthermore, Yan Siming was a playboy. Xiao Zhengyang wouldn’t want his daughter to marry him.
Therefore, he had to explain everything.
Of course, if his daughter was willing to marry Yan Siming, they also respected her opinion.
Xiao Zhengyang said seriously, “Old Master Yan, I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding here. The man who slept with my daughter is not your grandson but someone else.
“However, my family is very grateful to your grandson. He helped us when we were in danger and Lingyu when she was in City Z. We will always remember his kindness!”
Old Master Yan, “…”
Yan Ruyu, “…”
So, there was really a misunderstanding?
